Naval authorities are carrying on prep
arations on an extensive scale at and
near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay
to guard Baltimore, Washington, Nor

and back of these cities from possible
attack by a foreign fleet. On Isaacs Is

ed on fortifications. The island will also
be used as a naval base. A pier and
bridge are being rapidly erected. The
Old Rip Raps may be used for storage of
naval supplies
The largest fleet in the world could as
semble in the Chesapeake Bay, south Of
the Potomac River. Preparations have
already been completed for the mobiliza-
ton of the navy, in case the Chesapeake
is threatened by attack in this region.
Steel nets have been sunk at the mouth
of the bay. Coal in vast quantities has
been stored within easy access of the
fleet.
While the naval authorities are taking
no chances and are preparing the lower
part of the Chesapeake Bay to with
stand an attack, these same authorities
know that all the foreign powers, includ-
ing Japan, have made surveys around
Lewis and have made soundings in the
Delaware Bay, believing that this region
offers the most available facilities for the
landing of troops. 1t is further claimed
that an army could draw it's supplies
from Delaware and the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland and could march, with least re-
sistance. to Wilmington, PHILADELPHIA and
New York. Baltimore and Washington
under this plan. would be attacked by an
army crossing the Susquehanna River.

DR., MONTGOMERY TELLSNEW WRINKLE TRIED
FLAG STORY and GLORY BY APARTMENT Thieves
Armed with Keys. They Pretend to Be
House Hunting.

A new role has been assumed by sp-
rartment thieves working in and about
Washington. They pretend to be flat
hunters. If they find the tenant in when
they open the door with their skeleton
keys they excuse themselves saying they
must have. the wrong apartment" and
stroll blithely OFF.
The police first heard OF the new trick
Of the thieves yesterday from Mrs. F.
E. Dill. of 92S K street northwest.
According to the police Mrs. Dill was
seated in her apartment Saturday after
noon when she was startled by hearing
key turn in the latch. and seeing two
white men walk in. She asked the men
what they wanted.
I'VE are in search of a vacant apart
ment," they said. The agent must have
given us the wrong key or else he have
made a mistake
They then excused themselves and de-
parted.
Mrs. Dill described both men minutely,
and the police are looking for them.

Eight Kinds of Lies and Overt Act
Subjects of Sermons by Ministers
The Lies Which People Tell, u
Rev. James L. Gordon's
Subject.

"A lie is never justifiable, no matter
what kind of a lie it is" said Rev. James
L. Gordon. pastor Of First Congregational
Church, in a sermon yesterday. His topic
was THE Lies Which People Tell"
There are eight kinds of lies that we
are familiar with" said the pastor.
"They are business lies, social lies, fra
ternal lies, literary lies. lies of poll
ticians. educators Misrepresentation, &C.
cIesiastical lies. and corporation lies.
"A lying lock opens when it ought not
to. So will a safe that Is not true. A
boiler lies when it explodes A clock lies
when it misleads. An argument lies when
it breaks down. Mark Twain said when
in doubt tell the truth. The world will
forgive enthusiasm, but 1t never forgives
the hypocritical liar. We must Chris
tianize our commerce or it will paganize
us. Another lie is the store goods mark
ed up and marked down. The red pen
Gil is the instrument of lies of the mer-
chant.
THE subconscious lie is the lie that a
man tells to himself. God save the King
is another lie. although We must class
it as a patriotic lie. I feel as though 1
could die for the flag, the empire and
the King is the patriotic lie at its best.
The man who said For God and Fred
erick the Great was a devotional liar.
He did not mean what he said.
THE social lie is the white lie oh,
1 am so glad to see you. Everybody is
so good to me. Call again, I will be
delighted to see you-lles. all lies. The
business man who Is not in Is telling
a commercial lie. He is in but he is
out
Wellington said of Napoleon: He was
bound to fail because his messages were
lies lie affords absolutely nothing
tangible to stand on. You cannot be
real and lie. You cannot lie and expect
to always get by with it, Some day
you will be tripped up by fibs. no mat
ter how harmless they may seem to
you"

Overt Acts, or Popular Ex-
cuses," Topic Of Rev. How
ard |. Stewart.

overt act is merely another name for
device OF the devil" said Rev. Howard
/. Stewart, pastor of Second Baptist
Church, Fourth street and Virginia ave-
nue. southeast, in a sermon last night on
Overt Acts, or Popular Present-day Ex-
cuses."
covert acts" the pastor said, ARE
often used as an excuse for undone
duties. Because you do not thoroughly
understand the Bible is no excuse for not
believing. You say I cannot understand
it. Do you understand why feathers
grow on goose or why grass turns to
hair on a cows back or wool on a sheep?
Strike match, and you cannot tell where
the light comes from or goes to. yet you
have no doubts about the match. You
believe it Is match and that 1t will
light.
AN engineer once said: I had to un-
derstand an engine before l could run
one. but l had to run religion before 1
could understand it hypocrite in the
church Is another form of overt act
Jesus himself said there were hypocrItes
in the church. They are everywhere else
also. They are in the lodge room, in
business. and society. There are shy
sters' in the legal profession and uuacks
IN the medical profession. l once found
three 'hypocrite' eggs in a dozen that
purchased. Yet who refuses to buy eggs
because they are not all real eggs?
You never refuse money because It is
being counterfeited. Why refuse to Join
the church because some members are
hypocrites? Some argue that there is
too much to give up when they join the
church. You get back a thousand fold
more in Christ than you could possibly
give up. Show me man who has ac-
complished something worth while and
VIII show you man who was not
AFRAID to give up a great deal to fit him
selt Tor great things. Only a sickly. SIM
pering nonenity of a sissy is afraid of a
hard job.
You cannot serve God and the devil
at the same time. These principles did
not come from the almanac, but out OF
the Bible itself. There is no other way
around, but to repent to be saved, as
Christ has said"

Warns OF DISASTER
in INTERNAL STRIFE
Lack of Patriotism Imperils Nation.
Declares Minister.

Every great nation from Babylon to
Russia that has fallen has come to its
end because of internal evils said Rev.
ID. III. Martin, pastor of the Dumbarton
NJ. E. Church, in a sermon last night on
The Everlasting Kingdom.
The greatest dangers to the United
States today are the troubles within its
borders" declared the pastor.
1T does not take a Daniel to read the
handwriting on the walls in these days.
II our country does not correct its in
ternal evils, its days are numbered. This
country Is not drifting; she is rushing like
an express train to disaster. The revolu7
ton in Russia will doubtless be FOLLOWED
by revolution in Germany and Austria.
Unless we ourselves set about immediate
ly TO remedy certain rotten internal af-
fairs it is but a matter of few months
when the outraged public will drop con-
Hersation and begin action.
Our country Is endangered by the dis
loyalty of many foreigners to whom she
has graciously opened her doors and
given refuge. The country is imperiled
by lack of patriotism by those who are
born and reared here and who seem blind
TO the acuteness of the international sit
uation. We need more craftsmanship and
less politics.
Citizens of the United States worship
the almighty dollar instead of Almighty
God. The bulk OF wealth is with a few
and not with the masses. Capital too
often oppresses labor, rich spectators
force the workers to pay exhorbitant
prices for the necessities of life out of
shrinking pay envelope.
There is war between capital and la
Dor. but there must be a stopping point
somewhere. Labor cannot be expected
10 surrender its rights. and it is out OF
the question to expect a capitalist to- part
with his gold. The only true government
and society existent is based on true re-
lgion and the Golden Rule"

John Smith paced to and fro
in Crawdlor's committee rooms.
After escorting Bishop Fraydon
to the west side of the capitol, he
had gone back into the building,
and, taking an elevator, had
reached the subway that leads
from the capital proper to the
building occupied by the offices
and committee rooms of most of
the representatives. Walker, who
had been close to him ever since
he had arrived at the east plaza,
had protested.

For that reason he had ehfaced

with the other side Of the huge

and the vast throng, he could hear
family the bands and the sing

shadow of the smile he had worn
while riding down the avenue. He
felt nothing but supreme conf

ness ne had known for the past few
days had fallen from him. He was
at his best, brave, brilliant, tuned
to the top Of his wonderful ener-

Suddenly the singing and the
music of the bands stopped as If
the great volumn Of noise had
been cut by the stroke of a knife.
He knew what that meant, the
dead silence. Crawlor had risen
at his place in the House and put
