AMERICA MUST HELP
EUROPE SAY BANKERS

Washington June 11.-Chairman
Lodge, Senator Hitchcock and other
committee members said this after
noon it was doubtful whether any
further treaty investigation would
be made. Mr.. Lodge received a mes
sage from Paul NJ. Warburg, in
which Mr.. Warburg was understood
to have disclaimed any knowledge OF
any copies of the treaty in New
York. r.
The resources Of the United
States must be pooled and poured
into Europe to rebuild and restore
it, and the United States government
must cooperate with American bank
ers and European governments IN
mobilizing Americas dollars to help
the old world. =. El..
This, three great international
bankers told the senate foreign re-
lations committee, is why Wall
street has been interested in the
peace treaty and the League of Ma
tions.
The bankers are J. P. Morgan,
Frank, A. Wanderlip, and Henry r
DAWSON.
From these witnesses and from
Elihu Root the committee drew the
following statements in its investiga-
tion of the '1eak" whereby the
treaty got into the hands of New
York men while it was denied to the
senate. ~
Result of Inquiry.
Mr.. Root: That he got copy Of
the treaty two weeks ago from Mr.
Dawson; that he felt he has a perfect
right to it because it has been made
public by Germany and therefore,
was "public property"
Mr.. Dawson: That he got hif
copy on May. 9 from Thomas w
Lamont, partner in Morgan & Co..
and expert adviser to the American
mission in Paris. That his primary
interest in it was at head Of the In
ternational League of Red Cross 80
cieties, but that he also was deeply
interested in it as an international
banker.
That the United States must co
ordinate it's money resources to re
store Europe.

BODY OF NEGRO FOUND
IN SAVANNAH RIVER
Body Is Mutilated and Thrown Back Into River
Before Sheriff Can Reach Spot Clue
To Perpetrators People of County
Are Aroused Found By Fisher
men Wednesday Afternoon. Il

cess with which the murderers have
made way with the body and the
dearth Of clues indicate carefully
laid plans, we'll executed. The peo-
pie of this county are aroused and
indignant over the brutal murder
and the citizens will only be satisfied
when those responsible are captured
and punished. -"
Smiths mother and the other two
negroes with him at the time of the
murder have been interviewed a
number of times, but nothing further
than has already been published was
gotten from them, They were too
frightened and excited at the time to
gather any definite impression of the
white men in the automobile who
drove up beside them and killed
Smith on Saturday evening. All
state that they knew none Of the
white men and could not give a de-
scription of any Of them.
One negro came to Sheriff Burts
Tuesday and, told him that he
thought Smiths body was in a pond
East of Abbeville. He said that he
had noticed that the water was
bloody. The sheriff secuted the mat
ter but went to the pond with the
negro and had him go over the pond
carefully with a stick. No body was
found. .
The theory that is held by many is
that the body was taken to the Saw
annah River and after being weight
ed, sunk in some deep hole.
Although there were many travel
,ArA on the various roads leading out
of Abbeville about the time that the
murder was committed no one can
be found who will say that they
saw four or five white men in ma
chine going toward the place Of the
crime or later carrying the body Of
the negro to some other place.
Several negro men nearby saw the
shooting or saw the men leave the
scene, but were not close enough to
identify jthe men.
It is rumored on the streets of this
city that several men tried to get
Smith to take them to Anderson on
Saturday in his machine, Offering to
pay him well. However, no one
seems able to tell who the men were
that tried to hire Smiths machine.
It is also said that on a number Of
occasions within the past month
white men have tried to get Smith
to take them various places in his
machine, but that Smith warily de-
clined each time.
When summed up all that is
known is: that Mark Smith was kill
ed about 9 o'clock Saturday night
near Abbeville, by four or five white
men who drove up beside the ma
chine that Smith was driving, the
negro jumping from his machine be-
fore it had stopped to escape, being
followed by two white men into an
adjoining field. Smith fell after sew
eral bullets had found their mark,
and the white men continued to fire
into his body. The body was then
placed in their car by the white men
and carried off and that the body was
found Thursday morning in the Sa-
vannah River.

the fact that the body of Mark Smith,
negro, killed near Abbeville last Sat
urday, after having been thrown in
the Savannah River, and discovered
Wednesday afternoon by some fisher
men, was pulled out on the bank
again by unknown parties, mutilated
beyond recognition and thrown back
into the river.
Sheriff Burts, Deputy Sheriff Cam
and James Thornton returned to Alb
beville shortly before going to press
Thursday afternoon, having answer
ed telephone call from the sheriff
of Elberton County, Ca, who said
that the body of a negro had been
found near Cherokee Shoals. The
sheriff and the two men set out i'm
mediately. -.
The ferryman at Cherokee Shoals,
who had seen the body in the river
Wednesday afternoon, acted as
guide. AS soon as the sheriff and de.
puties approached the place they no
ticed a marked stencil. And on the
bank were signs of where the body
had been pulled out Of the river on
the sand. There were small frag-
ments of half decomposed flesh,
shreds of clothing and what appear
ed to be pieces of bones. A large
portion of a pants leg was found
nearby and this was brought back to
Abbeville by the sheriff. It is thought
that after mutilating the body be-
yond all possibility of recognition
the remains were thrown back into
the river. ...'
No one could be found in the
neighborhood by the sheriff who
knew anything about the affair.
Sheriff Burts received Thursday q
message from the sheriff of Elberton
County, Ca, saying that a negro
had been found by several men who
were seining Wednesday afternoon in
the Savannah River at Cherokee
Shoals and that it was thought that
it was the body Of Mark Smith. The
sheriff, Mr.. Cam and Jas. Thornton
left Immediately in a machine TO,
Cherokee Shoals, but up to going to
press they had not returned and no
word had been received from them.
Doubt was thrown on the supp Isl.

of the Press and Banner called up
the bank at Calhoun Falls for in.

ONE MIND AND THAT
OMNiPOTENT

How can it be known that there is
but one Mind? Since God is the di-
vine creator the source Of all intelli-
gence and wisdom. He knows all
things and nothing that is real can
he thought or conceived outside the
range of His all-inclusive intelligence.
The conclusion is logical therefore,
that there is and can be only one Mind,
God. Mankind, for centuries, have be-
leved in the existence of many minds,
but the Bible and Christian Science
make clear the omniscient oneness of
the divine Mind, and the impossible
ity of many minds. Man has no mind
80 his own separate from his Maker.
He reflects the Mind of his creator.
When this fact is grasped by the in
dt'idual he begins to express the holt
ness, healthfulness, purity and wis
dom of the divine Mind, and to be
healed of the sin, sickness and sorrow
which come from believing in many
ruling minds, or from believing that
mind or power can exist separate from
God.

as the carly Christians were strictly
loyal to the spiritual teachings OF
Christ Jesus, to that degree did their
religion possess the vital force which
regenerated the human mind.
But after a time the early Chris

ing disappeared and did not reappear
for more than fifteen centuries. when
the Science of Christ's Christianity
was again given to the world by a New
England woman, Mary Baker Eddy
THE DIscovERER AND FOUNDER
OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
In 1856 Mrs. Eddy was instantly
healed of the results of a serious acct
dent through the spiritual understand
ing of a passage in Matthews Gospel.
The light that burst upon her con-
seriousness in that hour of need was
the result of many years prayer, medi-
tation and study of the Scriptures.
The world of the nineteenth century,
in which Mrs. Eddy made this discov
cry was stepped in materialism and
there was tendency to base reason
ing upon matter and physical science.
Mrs. Eddy discovered that all is Mind,
God; that "All is infinite Mind and its
infinite manifestation, for God as A.
in all" (Science and Health, p: 46S)
In other words, that the universe has Il
spiritual cause and not a physical.
Her researches led her to distinguish
between the divine Mind, it's qualities
and ideas and the phenomena of mat
ter and evil, which she termed mortal
mind, or, to use st. PauPs term car
mel mind. She saw that the two were
opposites. One only can be true. She
saw that evil, matter, carnal mind. hui
man mind, were mortal beliefs, mis-
conceptions wholly foreign to the ma
ture of God Mrs. Eddy saw also that
the exactness, order, continuity and
law of God was the only real science,
which she named Divine Science or
christian science. Wnen Sne graSped
the mighty fact so fruitful with bless
ings to the whole human race-that
God is the only Mind and Cause-she
saw that her mission was to pierce
with spiritual vision the dark clouds
of matter, mortality, fear and sin, to
dispense these clouds with the reflect
ed light of spiritual understanding,
and to reinstate in human conscious
ness the science of the one omnipo-
tent Mind.
