Faith In Providence

London, Dec. 28-President Wilson
today received a large delegation from
the National Council of the Evangeli-
cal Free Churches. Addressing the
delegation, he said:
Gentlemen, | am very much hon.
ored and might say touched, by this
beautiful address that you have just
read, and it is very delightful to feel the
comradeship of spirit which is indicat-
ed by a gathering like this.
"You are quite right, sir, in saying
that | do recognize the sanction of re-
ligion in these times of p~erplexity
with matters so large to settle that no
man can feel that his mind can COM
pass them.
81 think one would go crazy If he
did not believe in Providence. 1t
would be maze without a clue. I'm
less there were some supreme evl-
dence we would despair of the results
of human counsel.
$50 that it is with genuine SYM
pathy that | acknowledge the spirit
and thank you for the generosity of
your address"
At a meeting in Paris December
10Th, President Wilson told the AL
sace-Lorraine Society, 81 am pro-
foundly grateful to the Almighty for
the role He has permitted me to play
in their delivery" Alsace and Lorraine
from Germany.
Principles
1t will be recalled that PRECEDENT
Wilson presented fourteen points or
principles for the settlement of the
World War. When they were pub
lished in Paris, George Benjamin
Eugene Clemenceau, the Premier
Fighting Tiger at the head of the
French nation said: "God gave Moses
only ten points, Wilson has presented
fourteen"
He failed to recall that Jesus said,
"a new commandment | give unto
you, that you love one another" Also
He told His disciples, "For one is your
master, Christ" when they were dis
GUESSING who should be first, "and all
you are brethren"
st. Paul conveyed the same princi-
pies when he told the men at Athens,
"God made of one blood all nations of
men to dwell on the face of the earth.
Those make ID points with the dec
alogue. :,
President Wilson is educating all
Europe to adopt a code of principles
for a League of Nations to insure
future a in the world. A code of
principles where formerly diplomatic
peace was made on the line of selfish
policies of give and take by comprom-
ises on claims not expected to be &C
CURED. He puts himself last as an
humble servant to promote the future
happiness of mankind.
What we desire to point out is that
Goodness, Christianity and democracy
are not self constituted free will self
ishness as in the rule of monarchs,
kings and feudal lords as of old and
continued in the minds of many today
in State and Church, but a code of
principles. Principles, guided by
Providence thru Persons. Principles,
Providence, Persons. That is also

gated by the Puritans.

that he has named an American

drove a Simplex to sixth place; in
1913 his Mercer failed early in the
race-his only starts with Yankee
racers. In the 1912 race his Mer-

to victory; in 1914 his Mercedes
did not start, being damaged in

JACK JOHNSON
NOT DOWN AND
OUT rs SHOWN

Chicago, April 22.-Any one who
thinks Jack Johnson, former heavy
weight champion, is down and out
should take a trip TO Mexico City,
where the negro fighter is living
like king in one of the palatial
residences of the Mexican capital.
Johnson wants for nothing. He
is still looked upon as a champion
by the. Mexicans, attracts attention
OH the streets; and has access to all
places of business and amusements.
Besides branching out as a bull
fighter in Spain, Johnson became a
doctor" He obtained the formula
for a medicine said TO cure nerv-
BUSINESS. The Spaniards fell for it,
and Jack derived a neat revenue.
johnson was taken to- Cuba by a
syndicate of Mexicans, headed by
Gems, Juan Merge and Alfredo
Brecceda./ The former is a mem
Der of President Carranza's staff
and wealthy. The latter owns one
of the finest residences in Mexico
City. Johnson has his gymnasium
in the basement.
That these men are among the
most influential in the city was
shown by this incident: The owner
OF an American drug store refused
to serve the former champion d
glass of soda water Jack made
this known to members of the syn
dictate, who promptly escorted John
son back to the drug store and
compelled the druggist to serve
him.
The syndicate plans to arrange
for American fighters to go to Mex
leo and give exhibitions with the
negro. They are particularly anx-
ious to get Fred Fulton, although
overtures will be made to Jack
Jess willard and other
heavyweights.
The syndicate also plans to build
a beautiful country club which will
serve as a rest cure. Johnson VIII
be placed in charge. He will give
daily exhibitions of his skill and
sell his patent cure for nervous
ness.
The ex-champion still maintains
that his fight with willard was
fixed and that he agreed to lay
down to the present champion after
Jack Curley and the other promo
ters had promised to fix il with fed
eral authorities for his safe return
to the United States.

BOUT SITE SET
Challenger of Jess Willard Growing
Bit Peeyish Over Dilatory
Richard Tactics.

Chicago, April 22.-Jess Willard,
heavyweight champion, and Jack
Dempsey, who expects to bid for
the title in a July battle, were
slated to confer here yesterday on
the question of a referee for the
bout. They didn't confer because
Dempsey ducked out of town about
the hour that the champion arrived
from Kansas City Willard, how
ever, expressed no disappointment
over failing to meet his future foe.
In fact, Jess is here more for the
purpose of posing in a movie thrill
Ter than for closing up details in
cidental to the itular scrap.
Before Dempsey left town to fill
a weeks theatrical engagement at
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he let loose a
few words indicating that all is not
well with the July 4 engagement.
The challenger is a bit tired of the
apparently dilatory tactics of Pro-
moter Tex Richard and said that
unless the site for the battle was
announced by May he Dempsey
would board a boat for London,
where he can meet George Carpen-
tier.
Just when the referee problem
will be settled now il a problem.
Dempsey will be back here in a
week, but there is no way of tell
ing where Willard will be at that
time. According to the dope there
are five men now in line for the
arbiter's role. They are: Matt
Jim Griffin, Jack Shelley,
Charles Murray and Young Mitch
ell.
Willard came here looking about
ready for action. He has taken of
weight while training
at his home at Lawrence, Kan, and
says he will enter the ring around
the 260 notch. This means that he
to weigh about the same as
when he fought Moran at New
York. He claims that he needs
only about a month of gymnasium
work to put him at top form.

easy meat. There is a considerable
amount of Rock Island coin ana a
host of tri-city fistic fans that say
such is idle chatter. Jimmy is a
clever little fellow, has a
bag full of tricks of the ring and is
ready enough to use them. Only one
thing bars him from being attached
to some good boxing stable and
that is his lack of punch. Be that
as it may the local boy usually
furnishes a good exhibition and it
may be asserted that he does not in

Alex Bean, here's a job for you
II you can lift "Resista," 98-pound
human doll who will appear at the
Palace theatre, Moline, Thursday
and the balance of the week, you'll
land some money. No, there's no
fake about 1t. Manager Walter
Dunn already has posted a forfeit
and any strong man who, by q
straight pull from the waist. is able
to pick her up wilI get the coin.
Resista, through some strange
trick of nature, has been provided
with ability to Increase her resist
ance 80 that to lift her is impossl-
BILE. Scientific men who have
watched the experiment say that
through air compression in the
lungs she is able TO accomplish the
feat Others behave 1t is will pow
er. All of the opinions are guesses.
Resista herself for years was un-
aware of her strange gift and is
unable to explain how she does it.
This unique novelty will be but
one Of the interesting things on the
bill for the last half of Easter week.
i he excellent entertainment which
is being afforded the public at the
Palace is causing wide comment
and high water mark is being
reached this Easter season.
