WASHINGTON, July arthur H.

address at the New Willard before ne

There are three ways Of defeating

and hold an are for sufficient time to
barricade those exits effectively.
The second course is TO block the
North Sea and the Channel by estab-
fishing an impossible combination of
nets and mines, but in the North Sea
there are tides and storms which
make il EXTREMITY difficult to anchor
mines and maintain nets.
Third. we may defend our ships by
arming them. and other means of

while these measures are valuable
they are not sufficient.

increasing interest in raising live

more diversified farming and also
in the line of domestic science in
the households Of the county. The

and Mr.. Watkins, Of Arkansas, took

to give more extended notice Of
the campaign Following the other
speakers, Mr.. A. D. Knox, Of the In

Last Sunday was an unusual Sab
bath day in Lexington. There was
no preaching in any Of the churches
except the Southern Methodist
house Of worship, where there was
rather extraordinary attractions at
both the morning and evening
hours.
The preaching both morning and
evening was done by the Rev. W.

Mr.. McCoy's morning subject was

and his talk was made without tak-
ing a text. That the subject was
expertly, plainly, learnedly handled
can be testified to by any person
present who gave heed to the
speaker.
Mr.. McCoy's night subject was
'Tithes" and the speaker read 50
copiously from the Bible that ws

subject was one closely connected

The choir music was exceptional

much to the music at the night
service, and a vocal solo by Mn.
