Wilson VIII Not Inferrene.

Paris, April 19.-Presldent Wilson
has cablcd a decl;nation to the request
of the New England governors that he
intervene in the telephone strike, say
ing that he could not act intelligently
at this distance.
ever, it is sufficient only to say that
there are five Greek newspapers, sew
en- Spanish-Hebrew, four French,
three Serbian, one Turkish and one
English. The lone English newspaper
is published by the British army for
the use of its men in the Levant.
If the Apostle Paul could come to
Saloniki today, he probably would
preach to the Thessalonians a gospel
of cleanliness as we'll as piety, for dirt
seems to be an inseparable part of the
city and of the people. HYGIENE and
sanitary methods, as the allied militia
ry authorities soon learned, are wo-
fully primitive. During the allied oc-
cupation thousands of British, French,
Italian and Serbian soldiers succumb-
ed to malaria, typhoid and other dis
eases arising from lack of drainage
and sanitation. Through all the CEN
turtles plaques and epidemics have Wis
tied the city and carried off thousands
of its inhabitants. Being on the prin-
cipal thoroughfare from Asia into Eu-
rope, Saloniki has been the means of
spreading Asiatic cholera to the towns
washed by the Mediterranean. The
city itself has suffered great losses Of
life through this great scourge.

WATKIN S ARE FIRST TO
BUY VICTORY LOAN BONDS

Mr.. and Mrs. C. E. Watkins, of the
Evenden cottage across the bayou
came over yesterday for the purpose
of purchasing Victory bonds, and they
were much disappointed when they
found that the banks were closed and
that they would have to postpone their
generous move until today. They are
true Americans. They appreciate the
blessings of liberty won for ourselves
and our posterity and they believe in
showing their appreciation by their
works. Each wished a $1,000 bond
and each was here again today to be
sure that their APPLICATION was received

We didn't want war, we entered it
when war became inevitable. We were
willing to make any sacrifice when our
democracy, and all democracy, was i'm
perilled by the advance of military
despotism. Our boys have bravery
sustained the valor of their sires and
their grandsires in all our previous
wars. Their dauntless courage has
made glorious the termination of the
world war. In this flush of victory
shall we fail in our courage to meet
the demands of the victory loan or
shall we prove ourselves worthy citi-
zens of the Great Republic that has
commanded the respect of all man.

GRIPPING GERMANY WILL
INJURE BRITISH COMMERCE

London, April 19.-It will be inn
possible to cripple Germany witho1t
to some extent crippling BFssaisfS trade,
Charles s. Adds, a director Of the
Bank of England, told the Institute of
Bankers recently. 'To secure the max
imum indemnity for the minimum Of
injury to the trade of tie country" he
said, at would be necessary to at
ford Germany free access to raw ma
terial and freedom to arrange her own
mode of paying the indemnity. This
would be for moderate amount we'll
within her taxable capacity and on
such terms as to keep alive in the
debtor the hope of redemption within
a reasonable time.
"a crippled Germany could not pay
a penal indemnity, and to suppose
that in gripping a nation you thereby
gain a guarantee of continuous peace
is chimerical. The only guarantee of
peace is that, having beaten the enc
my, you should be ready to fight him
again whenever he likes.
The idea of Germany being able to
pay, under any circumstances, the
amount of $12O,OOO,OOO,OOO, at which
the expenditure of the allies was esti-
mated, should be dismissed as i'm
practicable"

their necessity, and are
satisfied. So it was that the exercises
of the Greek church last night have
left comfort which the busy world
has tried to efface. The events of the
evening were participated in by thous-
ands of people. 1t was Good Friday,
anniversary of the death and burial of
the Lord Jesus.
At the conclusion of the exercises in
the church shortly after II o'clock, the
procession formed on Hibiscus street,
near the church. First came the city
band, then the school children, the
boys carrying the emblems, the bier,
preceded by the priest and the singers,
and followed by the people. AS the
cortege mover south on Hibiscus
street, the band played solemn dirge
in harmony with the occasion. At the
corner of Hibiscus street and Tarpon
avenue a short halt was made, while
the singers chanted the ritualistic GER
emonial appropriate to the time. The
line ofmarch led east on Tarpon ave-
nue. to Stafford avenue, thence south to
Boyer, west to Spring boulevard,
north to Orange and on Grams the

Guided.
Tonight services will be held in the
church. Tomorrow is Easter and the
day will be observed in appropriate
manner by the Greek as we'll as all
the other churches.
We believe the various forms and
exercises are fraught with good to
any and all who may participate or
observe. Memories are aroused, senti-
ment is Quickened and the man Of
the woman is made better. The world
has been filled with so much bitterness
lately that we need all of the con-
forts that can be derived. There is 10
other source of true comfort and peace
than through the gospel and the as
surances which it brings. No world
wise philosopher has ever been able
to explain events that have been tax
ing place in the world. From a world
ly standpoint there is absolutely no
reason, no recourse, no reason for the
terrible turmoil that mas for for
years devastated the earth. But once
we get the right focus on the teach
ings Of the Master, the whole matter
clears up and We can understand the
wonderful plan of redemption that
God has made for the world. And so
we need these occasions to call us back
from the busy life of worldly exist
ence that we may be brought to think
on those events so filled with meaning
