\COhtlhued rom Page One) the inquiry into the tapping of the wire of Seymour & Seymour, which Mayor Mitchell attempted to justify on the ground that it had disclosed Ian international plot" involving the United States.
 District Attorney Swann is the authority for the statement that the lawyers wire was tapped in an attempt to trace the source by which information concerning munitions orders from the entente allies was leaking out of the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co. After the revelations made by witnesses before him today regarding the activities of Burns in the Seymour & Seymour offices, MT. Swann made a per- sistent but unsuccessful effort to induce Frederick Seymour to sign a complaint which would permit the district attor- ney's office to lay the case before the grand jury and seek indictments on criminal charges

 was of great usefulness and that it should be encouraged, particularly In home and foreign mission endeavor. The protest planned today was to be presented to the assembly tomorrow morning with the re- quest that it be recorded on the minutes of the meeting.
 In addressing the assembly in favor of the $1, 100000 endowment fund the Rev. Henry H. Sweets stated that while edu- cational work was facing a crisis that at the same time more was being written re- garding Christian education than ever before. He emphasized the fact that there is no need for conflict between church colleges and state universities and that each had its place. He showed that southern Presbyterians had more than $7,000,000 invested in educational institu- tions. The total enrolment in Presby- terian institutions last year was S755.
 The 1917 meeting of the general assem- bly, of the Southern Presbyterian church will convene in Birmingham next May, according to telegram received yester- day by friends of pr. Albert Sidney John ston, pastor of the South Highlands Pres byterian church, who went to Orlando. Fla. where the assembly is in session, to invite it to Birmingham on behalf of his church.
 Dr. Johnston's message was a mere announcement that the assembly had ac- cepted the invitation of the South High lands church to meet in Birmingham next May
 Delegates from IA states will attend the annual meeting of the assembly here, the Southern Presbyterian church being represented in that number of southern states.

 THE BEGGAR OF CAWNPORE'
 H. B. Warner attempts a difficult role in 'The Beggar of Cawnpore," a five-part Ince-Triangle feature at the Trianon theatre today. This picture pleased the patrons of the Trianon yesterday, despite it's grewsome tale of the fight of a man against the morphine habit. However, the battle scenes of the Sepoy rebellion in India are very good. His Bitter Bill" a two-part Keystone, is a very anus ing comedy.
 THE MOTH AND THE FLAME
 An all-star cast will present "The Moth and the Flame" a five-part Famous s-Paramount feature at the Colonial theatre today. This is picturization of the famous play of Clyde Fitch's which met with such remarkable success on the speaking stage.

point and Hill BOA Thus far these ef- forts have accomplished little.
 The great advantage of the success ob- tained by the French in yne Douaumont region lies in the fact that this district is the highest in the vicinity, and there- fore permits permanent artillery observa- ton, which is far superior to that of aeroplanes or balloons. The French will now be able to hold the German positions under observation and it is expected the French artillery will soon gain the pre- ponderance.
 Deputy Andre Tardien, 9oreign editor of the Temps, writes that the offensive thus far has been carried out over a front of less than 25 miles and that it has failed invariably since the defenders have had time to bring up reserves.
 The opinion is expressed by M. Tardieu that in order for the entente allies to con necessary to carry it on simultaneously over all of their fronts.
 At present the allies have not suf- ficient material to do this, although they possess means of producing that material Hence the proper policy, he writes, is to continue on the defensive for the present, the material now avail able being sufficient to wear down the man power of their opponents. When Iu6 war IHdl6T1dl Ol lH6 dllleS eAc6eQS that of the Germans. as their forces of men now do, the victory, M. Tardieu concludes, will be virtually mathe- nautical certainty.
 NO NEWS FROM RUSSIANS
 Petrograd, May 24.-(Via London. No news has yet been received from Russian sources regarding the junction effected between Russian cavalry and Lieutenant General Gorringhes force below Kut- Fl Amara in Mesopotamia, and except as d present forerunner of a real union of the main Russian and British forces in Mesopotamia which is expected in the near future by mili- tary observers, the event is not re- garded here as of especial importance. It furnishes, however, an interesting indicat tion that the activity of the Rus sian forces in Persia is by no means confined to points mentioned in the official statements. The Russian cav airy band which Joined the British probably set out from Kermanshah along the difficult mountain roads par alleling the western border of the Per- sian province of Luristan and succeeded in crossing the Mesopotamian frontier somewhere east of Kut- FL -Amara.
 There are other indications that in- stead of striking at isolated points along the Mesopotamian border the Russians are gradually uniting their various army groups and now present a connected front which curves in a wide arc from south of Bitlis to the neighborhood of Khaniwin, northeast of Bagdad. From almost every point along this crescent pressure is being brought to bear iii the direction of Bagdad.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
Dispensing FrcckIcs.

Freckles, so regular in their an
nual return, have annoyed milady
from time immemorial There are
many home remedies to make use of,
each as buttermilk, lemon juice and
horseradIsh water that should not
be despised. BY bathing the face in
hot water for a few minutes to open
the pores, and afterward in butter
milk or whatver you wish to use, al
lowing it to dry on, you can bleach
the skin considerably. If you have
the opportunity to do this several
times during the day, at night you
can apply your massage cream or
bleaching cream.
Massage is valuable for removing
the vexing marks, for whatever
tends to promote circulation helps
the skin.
