Providence, R. l.. Oct. is. 1915
Some time ago my skin began to
break out in little pimples. These
filled with water, and when they
opened the watery fluid ran out and
spread the trouble until my entire
body from my face TO my feet was
covered. The itching was something
terrible, and / would scratch until the
blood came, and my skin would feel
as il il were burning. | tried a pre-
scription and several kinds Of salve,
but none helped me. After I had suf-

fishing vessels were American, but
other testimony is TO the effect that
they were brought from Halifax
Probably they displayed the Ameri-
can flags, a ruse so common in this
war as TO be the rule.
The Deutschland's successful voy-
age surely will spur the Germans to
great activity in commercial subma-
rining. Other countries than the
United States will be visited by the
new blockade runners. The Bremen

American port No doubt large sub
marine freighters will now be con-
structed with feverish haste. The
Deutschland is likely 10 go into his
tory as the diminutive forerunner OF
gigantic undersea liners, which will
wage desperate games Of hide and
seek with enemy warships. The loss
of a submarine occasionally would be
borne with equanimity if the net re-
suit should be substantial relief from
the rigors of the blockade. The build
ng OF bigger and bigger Zeppelins
continues in spite OF the fact that 35
of the vessels have been accounted
for" by Great Britain and her allies
So the submarine freighter will de-
velop also. Notwithstanding all set

Naval strategists throughout the
world now have a new and dihcult
problem to work out: How can a
blockade be made effective against
submarines?

yourself.
IF you will read carefully the
former communication, you will no
tice that the proposition is that you
come to the Bible Students and ad-
dress them and that we go to your
congregation and address them. and
not that the Bible Students should go
to you and your congregation come
to us. Our thought is that probably
none of the Bible Students would be
willing TO go to your church, to hear
you address them, and we feel sure
that very few, if any. Of your congre-
cation would come TO our meetin z
place to hear us, hence. we feel that
any arrangements of this kind will
accomplish nothing that we both de-
sire to have accomplished.
I'VE have no desire whatever to
back out of this. but desire to reach

sible.
I'VE trust that the Lords blessing
will be upon our united efforts. and

WILL NOT BE A JOINT DEBATE.

wilmington, ueis
August 25, 1875.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir:-There appeared In the paper
on Thursday night a news item to the
effect that Rev. George A. Cook, pas
sor OF Wesley NJ. h. Church. had
agreed to a joint discussion OF Rus
sellism." and that he will speak on
that subject in his church tomorrow.
We would like TO have the public
understand that Pastor Cooke has
made no such agreement with the BIZ
Bile Students, and that the meeting
which he thus announces is entirely
OF his own arrangement and will not
be a debate nor anything bordering
thereon between Pastor Cooke and
the Bible Students. As announced in
a former edition OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL. in answer to a request BY
Pastor Cooke, the Bible Students did
give him the privilege of addressing
them, II he, in turn, would grant the
Bible Students the privilege Of adj
dressing his congregation. or course.
were to exchange. but the cOngrega-
tons were to remain in their own
meeting places.
Pastor Cooke made a pretense Of
accepting this proposition and ar
ranged to address the Bible Students
in his church, giving the Bible Stu
dents the privilege OF addressing his
congregation in their meeting place.
This pretense OF accepting the propo-
sition really made void the whole ar
rangement, because any one exercis-
ing common sense. would know that
the Bible Students have the privilege.
at any time. of inviting his congrega-
ton TO their meeting place. without
his consent, likewise. Pastor Cooke
has the privilege OF inviting the Bible
Students to his church without their
consent.
In a second letter addressed to Pas
tor Cooke, the Bible Students called
his attention to this Oversight" on
his part and that he was not accept
ing the proposition as we made it.
This letter was not answered by Pas
tor Cooke and the Bible Students took
for granted that he did not care to
carry the matter any further. II
would appear, now, that Mr.. Cooke is
trying to give the public the inference
that this meeting that he has arrang-
ed for on Sunday afternoon is TO he
debate and that Bible Students will
be there. and probably Pastor Rus
sell, and by giving the public this in
ference. he. no doubt. thinks that he
will get congregation TO hear him.
Otherwise, no doubt, he fears that his
congregation would possibly be very
small.
If Mr.. Cooke really thinks that il
would be to his advantage to have a
debate with the Bible Students. let
him be q man and make this arrange
ment fair and square, offering to pay
! half the expense for a public hall.
and he will see how quickly he will
] he accepted. But il he is in the habit
I Of using such trickery and guile in
/ the use Of the Scriptures and its
/ teachings as he has done in connec-
/ ton with the afore mentioned ar.
rangements with the bible Students
il would seem that neither the Bible
Students nor the public in general
would have much confidence in what
be would have to say.
We would like 70 have 10 under
stood plainly that Pastor Russell will

Editorial Opinion
lrAXING MUNITIONS.

From the New York Sun.
Senator Boies Penrose, who is adj
mitted even by his enemies to know
a good deal about matters of tariff
and taxation has taken advantage Of
the debate on the emergency revenue
bill to tell some plain truths about
the Democratic scheme to tax NUM-
tions. He says that the tax is sec
tional. and is not uniform; that as
an evasion Of the constitutional i'm
hibition on export taxes it is unlaw-
full; that as a direct tax it constitutes
double taxation of certain manufac-
turing corporations: that 1t makes
the Government a sharer in muni-
tions profits and so destroys neutral
ity.
Senator Penrose makes the mistake
of thinking that the Democrats in
Congress employ reason in matters
Of taxation. They do not. They
simply seek the easiest way Of get
ting the money they waste.
