mo PEACE MESSAGE
The Ambassador Declared That He
Conveyed No Message From the
Kaiser on Peace or the Sub
marine Question.

LONG BRANCH. n. j., Oct. a.
Every subject in the German situa-
ton including the submarine issue
Is to be gone into this afternoon
during u conference between Pres
idcnt Wilson and James w. Gerard,
american ambassador To Berlin.
Gerard arrived mt shadow Lawn at
1890 O'Clock and mad luncheon
with the president. II Is expected
that he will spend most of the af-
ternoon in conference with President
Wilson.
How long I remain depends upon
President Wilson, Gerard said In
answer 10 "a query.
Much Is to be discussed owing To
the fact that this is the first time
Gerard has been back In this coun-
try since the war started. However,
Ambassador Gerard declared he
bore no official communication from
Germany either on the submarine
question or peace possibilities,
though he expected there would he
IA full discussion Of both during the
conference.
The ambassador said he did not
know when he will return to his
pest. He will go, however, before
the November election. After that
time much depends ON the sailing oi
vessels, since he must take one that
does not touch England. IL would
be bad form for Gerard to take n
vessel touching the shores Of any ot
Gcrmany's enemies.
The ambasasi0r said he would
take no part In the campaign.

ROBBERS MAKE
A RICH HAUL
BURGLARS RANSACK HOME OF
RICH NEW YORKER AND ES-
CAPE WITH BIG AMOUNT.
IS TAKEN
Jewclry and Silver valued at Be-
tween $4,000 and $1OO,OOO
Secured by Intruders-Occu-
pants House Chloroformed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-One of the
biggest robberies that has occurred
about New York in several years
was reported to the police today
when Frank Griswold, a prominent
Wall street and sporting man, told
of burglars entering his Long Island
home last night and escaping with
jewelry and silver valued at between
$4,000 and 100000.
The estimate of the loss was made
by Griswold and his wife after they
motored to police headquarters to
report the robbery. Griswold. his
wife and daughter are believed to
have been chloroformed by the rob-
bers while asleep. in their home, one
of the show places of Long Island.
Mr.. and Mrs. Griswold told the po-
lice that they awoke this morning
with severe headaches and that their
daughter was i'll. In one of the
rooms was found rag or handker-
chief which is believed to have been
saturated with chloroform. Foot
prints were found in all the Sleep
ing rooms.
The burglars apparently teek their
time. They ransacked drawers and
closets throughout the house, open
ed jewelry cases and picked out only
the most costly. They piled empty
boxes behind the window curtains in
a room on the lower floor.
"There is every indication that the
burglars came to the house and es-
capped in an auto Griswoid said.
Auto tracks leading to the house
we're found in the grass.

Gov. Harris Gives Out
Statement on WA.
Parallel Legislation

Ex-Governor Browns statement, pub
lished In some of the state papers Sun
day, urging the people to vote in the
election Tuesday against a proposed
amendment to the constitution which
would forever protect the Western and
Atlantic railroad from the building of
a parallel line, brought forth a state
ment Wednesday from Governor Harris
in which he explained that no such pro-
posed constitutional amendment had
been passed by the legislature.
The statement given out for the gov
ernor by his executive secretary, F. r.
Jones, was as follows:
mo amendment to the constitution
touching the anti-paralleling of the
Western and Atlantic road was passed,
and no act was passed referring to that
matter except the act of August IL,
1915, and that was merely an amend
ment to the railroad corporation law of
the state. At the term which adjourned
in August, 1916, some amendments were
made to the leasing act, but these had
no reference to the parNlleling of the
road. One constitutional amendment
looking to the issuing of bonds for the
extension of the road was defeated in
the legislature.
THE validity of the act of 1915 pro-
hibiting the paralleling of the state
road, or prohibiting the grant of cor
porate powers for the purpose of paral-
telling the state road, is in issue before
the supreme court at the present time
and has not yet been decided. The gov
ernor has no statement to make as to
what would be done for the protection
Of the state road IL this act were de-
clared unconstitutional"

of boys. Shall he exercise the right
that he has to enjoy a cigar when the
weaker brother, possibly his own son,
seeing him exercising that right, fol-
lows his example and uses cigarettes to
his mental, moral and physical detri-
ment?
Shall a Christian woman play cards?
She has a right; but in exercising that
right, let her consider that there is
many a man now gambling because his
mother taught him to play cards in her
own home.
Shall Christian attend the theaters?
He has a right to. There are many
theaters that are uplifting, but undoubt-
edly 50 per cent or moTS of them are
harmful.
Shall a Christian who does these
things criticise the one who does not
as being narrow minded and intolerant?
Shall christian who does not do these
things criticise the one who does as
being worldly and unspiritual? Most
assuredly no. Temperance is self con-
troll" but the best kind of self con-
troll is Christ Control" Whenever you
face any question, unless you are sure
that you are right give God the benefit
of the doubt until you are sure. You
will have no trouble in making your
choices about any of these things if you
will present your bodies as a living
sacrifice wholly acceptable to God, for
this of the rational service; nor will
you be conformed to this world, but you
will be transformed by the renewing of
your mind that you may prove what
is that good, acceptable and perfect will
of God.
