ENGLAND MUST
HAVE RELIGIOUS
REVIVAL FIRST

Liverpool, in. 27.--Vice Admiral
Sir Edward Beatty, commander OF
the First British battle cruiser squad
ron, whose ships defeated the Ger
mans in the North Sea, has made a
stirring appeal for a great religious
revival in England as a necessary
step to victory in the war. In let
ter read at the annual convention Of
the Society for the Propagation OF
Christian knowledge, he writes:
"Surely Almighty God does not in
tend this war to be just a hideous
fracas, or a blood drunken orgy.
There must be purpose in it; i'm
provement must come out OF 1t.
''ln what direction? France already
has shown us the way, and has risen
out of her ruined cities with re-
vival of religion that is wonderful.
Russian has been welded into whole
and religion plays a great part. Eng
land still remains to be taken out or
the stupor of self satisfaction and
complacency into which her flourish
ing condition has stepped her. Until
she can be stirred out of this condi.
ton, until a religious revival takes
place, just so long will the war con-
tinue.
when England can look on the
future with humber eyes and a pray
er on her lips, then we can begin to
count the days toward the end"

MEX|CANS RETURN
CAPTURED SOLDIERS
United States Army Officer Who
Led Dash Over Line May
Suffer.

Washington, Jan. 27.-There was
no indication tonight that the United
States government would consider
any action necessary in Xe case of
the two American soldiers captured
yesterday by Mexicans near Browns
vile, Texas, and returned unarmed to
their commands today, other than to
investigate the incident and probably
courtmartial Lieutenants Peyton,
Mort and Waldron, the officers who
led the detachment Of soldiers into
Mexican territory to rescue their cap
tured comrades.
Secretary Garrison said nositive or.
ders had been given every officer in
the army not to cross the boundary
under any provocation, without speci-
tic Instructions from Washington.
Should the investigation ordered by
Major General Funston prove that the
officers violated this order, it was
said they undoubtedly would be court
martialed and probably would be held
responsible for the death of the four
soldiers, members of the rescue party,
who were drowned in the Rio Grande
while returning from their expedition.
The prompt action taken by Car
rama military authorities in return
ing the two soldiers was regarded by
the state department officials as in
dicative Of their desire to prove their
innocense and to display their good
will toward this country.

MRS. M0HR ADMITS
LOVING ANOTHER
Tells of Affection for Rev. Samuel
A. McDougall of
Canada.

Providence, R. l., Jan. 27.-The
first serious break in the marital re-
lations of the late DR.. C. Franklin
Mohr and his wife, Elizabeth II. Mohr,
who is charged with having hired two
negroes to kill him, occurred at the
time she told her husband of her
friendship for man named Samuel
A. McDougall, who now is a minister
in PictOu, N. S.
This statement was elected from
Mrs. Mohr during severe cross-ex.
animation this afternoon by Attorney
General Rice.
Step by step the prosecuting at
torney brought the details of Mrs,
Mohr's life. Occasionally she ap-
peared confused as to dates and facts
given in her direct testimony and sew
eral times broke down and sobbed
1t was in 1912 she said that she
first told Dr.. Mohr about McDougall.
The doctor, she admitted, was in.
censed and went to Nova Scotia to
try to have the minister unfrocked.
She denied that she told the doctor
that she had left Providence to go
to Boston because of notoriety caus-
ed by her friendship with McDougall.
She could not keep company with Nc
Dougall, she said, because the differ
ences in their religious belief made
i: impossible for her to become a
ministers wife.

URGE
EMBARGO UPON
WAR MUNITIONS
0utburst of Denunciation Against
Wholesale Manufacture in
1E--S-f -' p t@t ~ 'fr tt911 . 1890 ts-'1
United States.
MAY FORCE VOTE
ON ISSUE SOON

Washington, Jan. 27.--An outburst
of denunciation against shipments of
American made war munitions to
European belligerents stirred the
senate today, rehecting revival of
sentiment which may force vote
upon embargo resolutions which have
been pending in committee for sever
al months. A dozen senators, includ-
ing Democrats and Republicans, as
sailed the munition traffic, While
those who have sided with the admin
istration in its stand that an embargo
would violate international law for
the most part were silent.
Debate Averted.
A petition for an embargo bearing
more tnan million signatures pre-
cipitated the debate. A test vote at
one time seemed inevitable, but it
was averted after much parliamentary
maneuvering by reference of the peti-
ton to the foreign relations commit
tee. Senator Kenyon, Republican,
started the discussion in presenting
the petition, which had been sent to
the senate by the Organization of
American Women for Strict Neutral
ity. The Iowa senator characterized
the sale of munitions abroad as a
"cold blOoded money making propo-
sition," and denounced as rank hy-
pocrisy" the policy Of praying for
peace on Sundays and selling weap-
ons of war on week days. An en-
barge was urged also by Senators
Clapp and La Toilette.

PROTEST AGAINST
NAIL TAMPER|NG
Interference With All American
Pouches to Neutral Nations
by England Must Stop.

washington, Jan. 27.-The text of
the American protest to Great Britain
against interference with neutral
mails made public tonight reveals
that diplomatic and consular pouches
have been treated in manner the
United States considers "vexaclously
inquisatorial.'
The note describes the practices Of
British officials as "unwarranted in
references" and requests prompt
reply, pointing out that "a strong
feeling is being aroused in this coun-
try by the loss of valuable letters
while foreign banks are refusing to
cash American drafts because they
have no assurance that drafts are Sc
cure in the mail"
The United States declares that
parcels post articles are entitled to
the exemptions of neutral trade. and
denies the right of Great Britain to
take neutral mail ships into British
jurisdiction for purposes of search
and then submit them to local censor
ship regulations.
It also denies that the British gov
ernment has any authority over neu-
tral field sealed mail on vessels which
merely touch at British port.
With the text of the American
note was made public Great Britain's
ad interim reply, saying that ques-
tions Of principle raised by the Unit
ed States have made it necessary for
Great Britain to consult her allies be-
fore answering finally and indicating
that there will be no unnecessary de.
lay in the negotiations.
