SUFF BANNERS
TORN BY men
White House Pickets Ap-
peal to Police and the
Crowd Is Moved On.

More suffragette banners, bearing
legends insulting to President Wilson
were torn to pieces yesterday after
noon by crowds of government clerks
at the White House gates.
KAISER Wilson" was the way the
yellow sign was headed. 1t was dis
played Friday and caused a small
riot, but yesterday the crowds swept
upon the four suffragettes holding the
banner, pushed them up against the
iron fence, took the banner away and
destroyed It.
The suffragettes appealed to the po-
lice to gave them and the crowds were
dispersed.
The banner addressed kaiser Will

At IL o'clock Miss Elizabeth
Stuyvesant, of New York. appeared
at the east gate OF the White House,
carving the banner inscripted in
black letters. A small crowd soon
assembled. standing quietly at some
distance from Miss Stuyvesant.
Presently four men. after a short
conference on the edge of the crowd
moved forward together, snatched
the banner from the pole, and tore
It to ribbons.
Ten minutes later Miss Natalie

WE BELIEVE IN GOD THE
ETERNAL FATHER, AND IN HIS
SON JESUS CHRIST. AND IN THE
HOLY GHOST.
So runs the first of the ARTICLES
of Faith OF the Church OF Jesus
Christ OF Latter-day Saints. A sim
liar asseveration OF belief has place
in most creeds or churches called
Christian. The Scriptures affirm the
existence of the Supreme Trinity,
constituting the Godhead, the gov
erning council Of the heavens and
the earth.
The very name Trinity" which is
commonly current in the literature of
Christian theology, connotes three dis
tinct entities, and such we believe TO
be the scriptural signification and
therefore expressive of the actual
constitution of the Godhead. Three
Personages are comprised, each desig-
mated by the exalted title God,
and each of whom has separately
and individually revealed Himself to
mankind; these are Q) God the Eter-
nal Father, C9 God the Son. or Jesus
Christ, and (9 God the Holy Ghost.
That the three are Individually
separate and distinct Personages is
evidenced by such Scriptures as the
following. AS our Lord Jesus Christ
emerged from the baptismal waters
of Jordan, John, the officiating priest
recognized the visible sign of the
Holy Ghost. while he saw before him
the Christ with a tangible body Of
flesh and bones, and heard the voice
of the Eternal Father saying: THIS
IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM
1 AM WELL PLEASED. (Matt.
3:16, ID. The three Personages were
there present. each manifesting Him
self In different manner to mortal
sense. and plainly, each distinct from
the others.
Again. in that last solemn inter-
view with His apostles on the night
of the betrayal, the Lord Jesus thus
cheered with sublime assurance their
sorrowful despair: But when the
Comforter is come, whom will send
unto you from the Father, even the
Spirit Of truth. which proceedeth from
the Father, he shall testify OF me"
(John 15:a6). Could the members Of
the Trinity be more definitely segre-
gated? That the Comforter is the
Holy Ghost Is expressly set forth in
the preceding chapter Gohn 1929, and
in that passage also the Father and
the Son are as separately specified.
That the Eternal Father and His
Son, Jesus Christ. are individual Per-
sonages is clear from the very fact
of the relationship expressed, for no
being can be his own father or his
own son. The numerous Scriptures in
which Christ is shown as praying to
His Father abundantly testify of Their
distinct personality; and. furthermore,
amidst the indescribable glory of our
Lords transfguration. from out OF
the cloud came the voice of the Faith
er, avowing again: THIS Is MY
BELOVED SON."
The individual members Of the Holy
Trinity - united IN purpose. plan.

CATHOLICS DISCUSS
CAMP ACTIVITIES
Delegates from Fifty Dioceses Con-
slider Welfare of Soldiers.

. A conference was held yesterday
at the Catholic University by dele
gates representing fifty dioceses IN
the United States. and problems now
confronting the country such as or.
ganization OF camps and the work
of army chaplains and problems of
training camp activities were discuss
ed.
One of the most important things
taken up at the conference was as
sisting the Knights of Columbus in
their present plan of establishing rec
reation camps throughout the coun-
try. and II was proposed that the
chaplain OF these recreation houses be
supplied with one or two priests in
the vicinity of the camp to assist
him in his work.
Among the speakers were Rev.
Louis O'Hern, of Washington: Rev.
DIR. Kerby, OF Washington; Rev. John
]. Burke. OF New York; Col. p. c.
Callahan, of Louisville, KY. and
Charles Neil, of Washington. These
speakers talked on the subject of
army ehaplains.

and method. To conceive of disa-
greement, differences, or dissension
among them would be to regard them
as lacking in the attributes of per-
fection that characterize Godhood.
But that this unity involves any merg-
ing of personality is nowhere attest
ed in Scripture, and the mind is in
capable Of apprehending such union.
In the course OF His soulful High
Priestly prayer, Christ supplicated the
Father in behalf of the apostles, ask
ing that they may be one" as He
and the Father were one (John IL:
ID. Surely the Lord did not intimate
that He would have the apostles lose
their individuality and become one
person.; and indeed. He had long be-
fore assured them that at a time
which is even yet future they shall
sit upon twelve thrones. judging the
twelve tribes of Israel" (Matt. 1898.
Human knowledge concerning the
attributes of God and the nature of
the Godhead is such as has been
revealed from the heavens. Divine
revelation is the ultimate source of
all we know of the being and per-
sonality of the Deity. Through revel-
alton in ancient days God was made
known to man-to Adam, Enoch,
Noah, Abraham, Moses and the
prophets. And in the present age.
after mankind had in great measure
come to reject the plain and simple
truths of a personal God and His
actual Son Jesus Christ, such as the
Scriptures affirm, the Father and the
Son have revealed Themselves anew.
Joseph Smith has given US his SOL
emn testimony that in the early
spring of 1920, while engaged in soli-
tary prayer. to which he had been
impelled by scriptural admonition
(James 1:0, he was visited by the
Eternal Father and His Son Jesus
Christ, the two Personages appear
ing amidst a brillisncy of glory be-
yond description, and that the Father
spake, saying: THIS IS MY BE-
LOVED SON, HEAR HIM"
In this wise was ushered in the
Dispensation of the Fulness of Times,
foretold by the apostle of old (Eph.
1:10). In 1870 there was on earth one
mortal who knew beyond all ques-
tion that the human conception Of
deity, as an incorporeal essence of
something possessing neither form
nor substance. is as devoid of truth
in respect to both the Father and
the Son as its statement in formu-
lated creeds Is incomprehensible.
Joseph Smith has proclaimed anew
to the world the simple truth that
the Eternal Father and His glorified
Son Jesus Christ are In form and
stature perfect Men; and that in
Their physical likeness mankind has
been created in the flesh.

Complaints that exorbitant prices

the Council of Defense and an in

The whole question is in its in

may be taken is entirely a matter
of conjecture.
Indications are that some hotels
have increased their prices without
any justification and are reaping a
harvest. To what extent there may
be abuses of this character that

thought, will endeavor to ascertain,

PROBE ADVANCE
INCOALPRICE
Trade Commission Finds
Washington Dealers Have
Reaped Large Profits

Revelations OF profits by the coal
men OF the District during the last
five months were made public last
night, as the result of the investiga-
ton of the Federal Trade Commission
into the high prices Of coal In Wash
ington.
Developments show that the supply
OF coal was Is per cent larger during
the FIRST five months of 1917 than In
the corresponding months Of the pre-
vious year and reports which were
circulated in the city proclaiming
shortage of coal were shown by hg-
ures Of the Trade Commission to be
without a vestige OF truth.
Dealers Reap Profits.
In some cases during the past 1--WE
months. 1t was stated. one OF Wash
ington's prominent coal dealers was
reaping a profit of more than 100
per cent. In many other cases IL
was shown that dealers OF the Dis
trict were protected by q margin
OF $3.50 per ton. which means that
the cost OF the coal to the mer-
chant was exactly $3.50 per ton less
than the selling price.
The commission places the larger
amount of the blame for high prices
on the large dealers OF the District,
In some cases the report states that
the larger dealers had been receiv-
ing margins of 81 to 50 per ton
more than the smaller man. on ac-
count Of their facilities for storing
the coal and their ability to pur-
chase in larger amounts.
Warning Issued.
No higher increase than the normal
10 cents ton is to be allowed the
dealers September i. and the commits
sion warns the dealers of Washing
ton that any further indulgence In
high prices and excessive margins
''can be regarded only as an open
declaration Of a policy of prohteer-
ing"
The trade commission has decided
to make public the names of the
dealers of Washington who have
been most unfair during the recent
season.
