Church
Advertising

Il believe" says DIR. Talcott
williams, that IL churches spent
as much for advertising as they
do for music they would have
larger congregations and better
worship"
''If great causes were to
spend more money in the pub
lie press instead of depending on
begging for their support they
would undoubtedly come much
nearer to success"
Thought is moving In this
direction. The churches are
using more and better advertis-
ing while many public move
nents have been successfully
carried on through the adver-
tising columns OF the daily

NO WITHDRAWAL OF
TROOPS At PRESENT


Washington, May 2-President Will
son has not altered his purpose to keep
American troops in tho border region
of Mexico until brigandage has come
to an end.
After 1rief conference at the White
House yesterday, Secretary Baker pre-
pared further instructions for Generals
, Scott and Funston, sought by the off,
GERS as result OF their conference
with General Obregon, Carranza's war
minister. The message went forward
last night.
8 It's contents were not revealed but
both Secretary Lansing and Secretary
Baker said there had been no change
In the administrations policy.
It is believed the American conferees
sought additional instructions because
General obregon dwelt on the view Of
the defacto government that the Amer
lean expedition should be withdrawn at
once. AS General Scott had no power
to discuss this matter, he presented
what the Mexican war minister had to
say to Washington.
