PEMBROKE CHAPEL REFUSES
 TO RECALL DIR. AkED.
Resigned to Become a Member of the
 Ford Peace Party.

Liverpool, Dec. 25.-Dr Charles F. Aked, best known in the United States as one-t time pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church (John D. Rockefeller S church), and later as member of the Ford peace expedition has come into prominence here again through the re- fusal of his former congregation, that of Pembroke chapel. to recall him. The suggestion that the peace advocate be asked to come back to his old pulpit was contained in a letter from J. H. Morse, senior deacon of the First Con- gregational church of San Francisco and was read to the congregation by the present pastor, Rev. Donald B. Fra ser.
 MT. Morse inquired if the pastor Mir. Fraser, is prepared to vacate the pastorate in favor of MT. Aked, and if Pembroke chapel will recall the peace enissary, adding: '1 think, upon the whole, that would be the most complete vindication of Dr. Aked pos sible, and settle for all time Dr. Aked's status in the Christian ministry" The writer said he would gladly take up the matter with Dr. Aked.
 As soon as MT. Fraser had finished reading the letter, a member of the congregation proposed 8 vote of con- fdence in the present pastor, which was immediately seconded and carried unanimously.

INCREASE IN WAGES FOR
 ALIEN CANAL LABORERS
20 Per Cent. Advance Becomes Ef-
 fective Jan. 1-MostIy Neqroes.

Panama, Dec. 25.-The board ap- pointed by Acting Governor Harding to consider a revision of wages and conditions of employment of alien ca nal laborers. mostly negroes, has granted an increase of about 20 per cent. in pay to the lowest paid la borers, making the minimum wage 12 instead of 10 cents an hour. Minor increases are given for the more skill ed labor. and those on hazardous jobs. The new wage scale goes into effect Jan. 1. The board went on record as recognizing the obligation of the government to pay it's men a wage sufficient to maintain them in reas- enable comfort and decency, and stated that the higher standard to which the West Indians had become accustomed. was a reason for main taining improved conditions.
 The desirability of housing the em- ployes on the Canal Zone was stated, and Acting Governor Harding has recommended an additional appropri- ation to take care of this. This fea- ture has military aspects. as during the recent strike it was brought out that inimical interests operating in Panama might prevent many of the laborers from going their houses to work and thus cripple the operation of the canal.

PREPARATIONS FOR TRIAL
 OF FREDERICK L, SMALL,
Boston Broker Charged With Murder
 of His Wife at Ossipee, N H.

ossipee, N. H., Dec. 25.-Prapara- tions were completed tonight for the opening tomorrow of the trial of Fred erick L. Small, formerly a Boston broker, charged with the murder of his wife, Florence A. Small. Early in the morning of Sept. 29 Mrs. Smalrs body was found in the ruins of .he cottage which she and her husband had occupied on the shore of Lake Ossipee in the village of Mountain View. During the night the house had been burned.
 Small had left home late in the pre- vious afternoon for Boston. He was ill that city when notified that the cot tage had been destroyed and that his wife was missing. He immediately returned to Mountain View by auto mobile. On his arrival he declared that he had bidden farewell to Mrs. Small on his departure and that she was then in the house.
 The body was found in the cellar, where a pool of water had prevented it's 1nc1neration. A cord was wound twice about the neck and tied behind. An autopsy disclosed that there was a bullet wound over the left eye and that the head bore marks which the medical referee thought were caused by blows from some blunt instrument.
 Small, expressing the opinion that his wife had been killed by a tramp, offered reward of $1,000 for the ar rest of the murderer. Shortly after ward he was charged with the crime and brought to the county jail in this town
 At the preliminary hearing counsel for Small offered no defense. Indi- cations of the theory which the prose- cution held as to a possible motive for the alleged murder were obtained from the argument of Attorney Gen. era1 James P. Futile. MT. Futile in troduced evidence to show that a short time before Mrs. Smalfs death Small had obtained a joint insurance policy on his own life and that of his wife, calling for the payment of $20,00o to either in case of the death of the other.
 c. c! Conner, principal of a school in Mountain View, who accompa aied Small on his trip to Boston, testified that the cord around the woman's neck closely resembled one formerly on Smalrs motor boat.
 George Bennett. the driver who took Small from his home to the station, testified that he did not see Mrs. Small, but that on leaving the house Small turned and said Goodbye" ap- parently to Mrs. Small.

attack Take the case with regard to the arming of merchant ships, As the armament consists of a gun mounted astern. British merchant ship, on seeing a submarine, has to put it's helm up, expose it's broadsides or largest target to the submarine and ru naway in order, to get it's gun to bear, increasing it's range every second, making it more difficult to hit the enemy and adopting a method to- tally opposed to British traditions, and particularly disgusting to the gallant officers and men of the Mer- camille Marine by assuming an atti- tude of defense instead of attack. The traditional policy which has made the British empire what it is has been attack, and always attack, at sea.
 There may be displomatic difficult ties connected with the arming of merchant vessels for attack, but sure ly these difficulties could easily be surmounted. Germany has directly challenged us, and has cut and stop ped our route to Holland, a short dis tance of about eighty miles. The war staff should Immediately set to work to devise means for opening the line of communication between this coun- try and Holland"
