RANDOLPH

The citizens of Randolph. have de-
cded to reopen the Methodist church.
This church which is centrally located
has been bug bear for some time.
Ministers would come and go. 1t
seemed utterly impossible to accom-
plish anything. Finally however the
citizens of this place aroused them
selves and decided that they could
pay the right man a good salary.
They said it is easier to pay a well
trained man $1,000 cash than it is to
pay an uneducated man $500. SO, the
advisory committee of the church sent
word to the powers that be at the last
annual conference saying. send us the
right man and we will adequately
compensate him. Bishop Lutte decided
to take Dr. E. Lewis Wall from the
Boothbay Harbor church and sta
station him at Randolph. Mr. and
Mrs. Wall are now on the ground and
the people are highly enthusiastic.
DR.. Wall has enjoyed rare educational
advantages taking degrees from Bates
College. University of Maine, Yale
University, Northwestern University
and Askaloosa College Few men in
the ministry have had such privileges
Mrs. Wall is reputed as one of the
finest soprano soloists in the State.
The future looks bright for the RAN

SHIPPING ARMS TO
MEXICO VIA EUROPE

! ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Madrid, April 21.--With the en-
barge on the shipment of arms and
ammunition from the United States to
Mexico, an ingenious plan recently has
been brought to light for the shipment
of such munitions of war from the
United States to Europe, and their
trans shipment from Europe to Mex
leo. BY this roundabout route the
arms could get to Mexico without
crossing the United States Mexican
border. where they would have been
detained by American custom officers.
The plan has required a system Of
agents acting in Mexico. the United
States, England and Spain, the route
designed for the shipments being from
the United States to England. from
England to Spain, and from Spain, by
one of the steamer lines operating to
Central and South American ports, to
one of the Atlantic ports of Mexico.
Whether any shipments via England
and Spain actually got through is not
known, as the plan was disclosed and
checked when the London link In the
roundabout chain got into difficulties
over the use of code messages dealing
with the shipments.
In the course of the inquiry, the at
tention of the British military censors
was attracted to several cablegrams
from Mexican military officials. These
did not appear on their face to deal
with orders FOR arms, words being used
