SEEK ORGANIC UNION

While the Interchurch World Move
ment is much concerned with the Co
operation Of all the Protestant deDomi.
nations in carrying out the great pro.
gram to meet the needs Of the world
II Is not concerned with matters OF
organic union. 1t is rather Spiritual
union Of the churches" for better and
more complete preaching of the Gospel
Of Christ.
This is according to a statement
sent out recently by Dir. S. Earl Taylor.
general secretary Of the movement.
IN answer to reports that the move.
ment was seeking denomnational or.
sanic union. He said that Individual
qgnbers doubtless had their views on
me question, bur rs movement mrs
deferred such matters to other bodies.

NOTHING NEW IN
PLAGUE SITUATION
Pensacola NeWsl


Nothing new to report today, and
things are going along finely was
the report from health officials here
when asked about the local health
situation. DR.. Green, the state health |
officer, and DR.. Kennedy, the public |
health service man, were at the city
hall this morning and talked over the
matter with the commissioners. While
there Police Commissioner Pou gave
each of them police powers. They
have not been called upon to exer-
else this authority, they admitted, but
in their work police powers are not
unneeded. The health officer stated
that the patient, Bradley was weak
this morning but there was reason to
expect he would get bitter. This ne
gro had been i'll for several days be-
fore the physicians of the state
health bureau saw him and admins
tered the serum 1t is a reasonable
certainty that if the treatment is
given within two or three days after
the illness manifests itself, the pa
tient will survive.
Rat-catching goes on intermitting-
ly, although the Pensacola rats wits
are almost as sharp as the experts
who come here. To date there have
been less than 400 rates delivered to
and xamined at the laboratory, and
not an infected rodent has yet beer
discovered The public health ser
vice have examined 240 rats, and the
laboratory forces $50 head. Ordinar
lily in campaigns like these are usual
ly thousands of rats caught O.
trapped. The good work will be KEEP
up. An official statement from tn
laboratory this morning, and also
statement from tate Health Office
Green personally stated that not
I single rodent had developed the leas
! sings of infection.

to establish his claim of a balance of

all expenses of locating the goddess.
He declares he was employed by Nor

do E. Pratt and Walter III, Mckay OF
the class of 1920 to locate the statue. He
was told, he says, that the odd-num-
