CHURCHLEADERS
TO help SOLVE
SOCIAL UNREST

ATLANTA, Nov. 29.-Arrange-
ments have been completed for enter
tanning hundreds of the outstanding
church leaders of the Protestant
churches of the South in the great
religious conferences which are to be
held in the key cities of all Southern
states during the first part of De-
eember The conference in Atlanta,
Raleigh and Jacksonville are sched-
uled for December Is, 16 and II. and
those in Macon, Columbia and Or
lando will take place on December
II, IS and 19.
While these conferences will not
be so large as the various annual
denominational assemblies. they will
be of greater religious significance
than any similar gatherings to be
held in recent years. They will bring
together the principal leaders of the
Protestant churches to discuss some
of the most pressing and vital prob
lens which have confronted the
church since the beginning of the ma
ton.
"The social unrest of the present
day, which is greater than America
has ever faced before, is at once the
church's responsibility and oppor-
tunity," says DR.. Howard T. Gree,
field representative of the Inter
church World Movement, in charge
of conference arrangements in Geor-
gia and Florida. "This unrest has
reached every department of the
peoples welfare, and the situation
cries for immediate adjustment. 1t is
the church which must contribute the
greatest influence in the final solu-
ton of our problems.
'In order to consider whole-heart-
ed, cooperative action on the part of
all the churches in this section to-
wards these problems the conferences
have been called. They will consid-
er from every angle, under the direc-
ton of the greatest religious leaders
of the day, what the churches must
do to make their proper contribution
to the solution of the nations diff
culties."
The speakers who will address the
conferences are drawn from the vari-
Gus Protestant denominations, includ-
ing their most prominent leaders.

BOOZE MEN JUBILANT


 Baltimore. July 1.-Liquor men here are rejoicing tonight over decision dn the United States district court by Judge Rose, in accordance with the ruling Of the United States district court of New York, handing down an opinion which Literally gives brewers in the local dis trict a free right to manufacture and sell beer of not only F per cent, but 2A4 per cent until the supreme court makes the final ruling on the question
 The opinion was in the case of the Standard Brewing company, the officials of which were indicted for manufactur- ing beer of one-half of 1 per cent.
 Judge Rose sustained the demurrer, but in doing so informed the defendants that they would be still conducting their business at their own risk by manufac- turing beer. He stipulated that they shall not manufacture intoxicating beer. 'I shall sustain the demurrer" said Judge Rose in closing the opinion. My decision will not differ from that made in the other courts, which is to be finally decided by the supreme court. It simply means that man shall manufacture or sell vinous or Tremendous liquors that are not intoxicating. He may not. how ever, sell anything that is intoxicating. If the supreme court decides that the judge in New York was wrong and that erred in following him, then another indictment can be obtained against these gentlemen, and you know what that means. That is the chance that you will take.'

 There is no doubt in my mind, and I believe in the minds of the crew. that we will get over without diffi- culty."

 Ut was very good of the admiralty, he continued. ito extend an invitation to our Navy Department that an American be included in the crew on this pioneer flight. I see no partic- ular reason why the admiralty should have selected me, but, believe me, am glad of the opportunity. As I un- derstand it, we will not attemtp any speed trial. We will cross as quickly as possible, avoiding adverse winds, but at the same time not overlooking any opportunity for observations likely to be of aid in the future to navigators and airship pilots crossing the Atlantic

ATLANTIC CITY WET Qx Associafed PrAsa

Atlantic City, July 1.-Despite the war time prohibition law, Atlantic City today continued wet" Virtually every saloon in the resort was open as usual, and dispensing liquid refreshments of all kinds, including whisky brandy, gin and any other kind of liquor called for by their patrons. Most of the larger hotels and cafes, however confined their sales to beer and wines of light alcoholic con- tent.
 Mayor Harry Bacharach tonight reiter- ated his statement that his position and that of other local officials was defined yesterday, when licenses were granted to 121 retailers and a dozen wholesale dealers.
 "We are giving no guarantee to the license holders that they will be able to sell" The mayor continued: The granting of the licenses merely means the Atlantic City police are not going to take action until required to do so by the United States government"
 Several applications from citizens and others for warrants for the arrest of sa- loonkeepers who are selling intoxicants were refused today by United States Commissioner Henry w. Lewis. MT. Lewis said he could do nothing until department of justice officials in Phila- delphia institute proceedings.
 The Rev. Henry M. Melton, chairman of the civic committee of the ministerial association declared "wide-open' At lantic City would not be tolerated, and that an appeal probably would be made to the department of justice to send in vestigators here at once.
