MODERN ARTIFICIAL
PURITAN CONSCIENCE
Is Scored BY Rev. Mr.. Parrish
AT Trinity Episcopal.

one OF the largest congregations
OF all those in the series of preach
ing services gathered last night in
Trinity Episcopal Church TO listen
To the sermon Of the Rev Herbert
Parrish on Conscience It was an
exceedingly effective and unusually
instructive address which worked up
to a splendid climax and made Il
powerful appeal, Among other things
belonging to this subject which the
speaker touched upon, he spoke Of
The modern artificial Puritan consci-
fence with its continual endeayor to
put the ban on innocent amusements
and diversions and thus make new
sins" In this and various other ways.
He declared that it was his opinion
THAT there we're already enough sins
for people to commit, ans things for
! hidden for them TO enaRae in with
out making new ones, and he point
ed out that our great need is for an
educated conscience, enlightened
/ BY the spirit Of Jesus Chris t and
guided by Intelligence TO a common
sense Christlike application of the
principles taught By Him.
Tonight the objects Of Christian
life and worship and particularly Of
this mission will be get forth. It is
not expected, or intended that tho
mission shall merely bun with a
brilliant light and attract men for

results shall come Accordingly Res

AMERICANS CLASH
WITH V|LL|S1AS
Funston Receives information
of SkirmiSh Today.

General Funston is certain that ae-
tual fighting has occurred. Reports
from Dublan said that there is dis
tiuct feeling at General Pershings
headquarters this afternoon that Vii
la will soon be brought to bay, and
that important developments are
pending. General Funston's adyices
all state clearly that the Carranzis-
tas and Americans are working har-
moniously in pursuit OF the bandit
Another report exploded today was
that of the assassination OF Mayor
Rodriguez, who was said to have
been shot at Ojinaga yesterday. Be
cause of the rapidity of the advance
of the Americans, word is now daily
expected that Villa is being forced to
make a stand. If the American
troops ever get within fighting dis
lance, there is little doubt of the out
come. The latter reports of the fight
ing near Guerrero said that the Car
ranzistas inflicted considerable loss
on Villas focres.

was located working his way along
the railroad, which bends eastward
from Guerrero to Chihuahua City
and the Americans and Vilistas ex-
changed shots.

THE FRENCH ACADEMY.
Career of the Organization Of the
"Forty Immortals."

Career Of the Organization Of the
"Forty lmmortals."
The Institute of France had its In
cention in 1870, when there was found
ed IN Paris by the French poet An
tome de Baif, literary and musical
society, known as the Academy Of the
valois. Charles TX. granted 1t letters
patent on Nov. 20, 1870, as THE Acad-
envy of Poetry and Music" 1t had.
however. no stability. Attacked upon
every occasion and criticised by its OPP
ponents, its members ceased to meet
after 1884. Almost half century
passed before revival took place.
For some time since the year 1923
a small circle of enthusiastic students
was wont to meet at each others home
for the study of French language and
literature. From year to year its mem
bership increased, and in 1884 Cardinal
Richelieu proposed TO the society to
have their private status changed into
a public institution, with many rights
and privileges. Upon agreement by
the society it was henceforth known
as 1.-THE French Academy" with char
ter from Louis XIII. of January, 1886.
1t consisted then Of forty members
the forty immortals"-and at no time
and under no pressure whatsoever has
this number been increased.-LondoD

Own Type Of Weapon
Swords in -the British army vary u
q very great extent and practically
every branch of the service has its own
type of weapon. The difference Is not
SO much in the shape of the blade as
In that of the hilt.
The sword used by the infantry mas
a large ornamental guard. bearing the
royal cipher and crown. There Is q
slot at the top of the guard for the
sword knot, really leather loop end
ing In knot to prevent the loss OF the
sword. The infantry sword is perfect
" straight and is sharp on one edge
only.
Rife regiments have special sword
Of their own with the rife badge let
into the openwork guard. Very much
the same sort of sword, but with still
more open guard, consisting of three
curved bars. is used by the royal ar
tillery and army service corps. The
Royal engineers have gilt hilt on
their swords, distinction they prize.
The claymore of the highland regi-
rnents has big basket hilt lined with
red cloth and blue ribbons. The Off
GERS of some Scottish regiments carry
a plain cross hilted sword without a
guard.
Until few years ago the cavalry
were armed with sabers. Nowadays,
however. they carry swords of q
straight rapier pattern. The guard is
q large affair, completely shielding the
band.-New York Times.
