Prosecution.

All the evidence is expected to ba
In today. The prosecution has BUT
six more witnesses in rebuttal to
prove that IcHenry is sane and was
sane when he shot Armstrong three
times at the Union Station on De-
cember II. 1919.
1t Is conceded by many criminal
lawyers that McHenry's defense of
insanity has been literally shot to
pieces in the last few days by the
Testimony of witnesses for the prose-
cution.
The defense has no more wit
nesses. All that they have left to
do is to rYgidly cross-examine the
remaining government witnesses
and rely on an appeal to the jury to
acquit their client on the ground Of
insanity.
Justice Gould may charge the jury
late this afternoon or the first thing
tomorrow morning.
The prosecution has promised
some interesting revelations this
morning, when the real fight will

Principal Problems.
RUSS TRADE A TOPIC

Paris, June 20.-Methods of pay
ment of the German indemnity. re-
sumption of trade relations with
Russia and the serious situation in
the Mean East, where Turkish ma
tionaIists are opposing enforcement
of the treaty terms will be the
principal questions considered at
the allied conference to begin at
Bonlogne Monday.
French official circles today
agreed that the conference will rank
in Importance with the epoch max
ing meeting at Versailles where the
German peace treaty was signed,
The Question of division of the in
demnity on a basis of equity was
foremost in the minds of French
diplomats.
Economic conditions prevent fur
ther postponement of consideration
of this question.
Agreement Hard to Find.
=, Allied efforts to come to an agree
ment regarding the German indem-
nifty ard resumption of Russian
trade relations have thus far fallen
fiat. At Boulogne a basis for final
settlement must be found IL Euro
pean statesmanship is to clear the
charge of being unable to solve the
problems of victory.
The fact that Count Sforza, Italian
foreign minister, will be present at
tomorrow's conference led to belief
that Italy would press claims for a
larger share of the German indem-
nifty than has thus far been accord
cd her. Italian claims will mostly
concern Great Britain, as It. is from
the British share Of 25 per cent of
the indemnity after Belgian claims
have been paid, rather than Frances
share of So per cent, that the extra
italian compensation must come.
The proposition of trying to col
lect a lump sum from Germany has
been definitely abandoned.
Possibility of Trade Plan.
There is every probability the
Boulogne conference will lead to
opening of trade relations between
all the allies and the Soviets.
Revision of the Turkish treaty
also will be considered. France de-
mands that Turkish nationalist
feeling be taken into consideration
The French purpose is to prevent a
paramountcy in Asia Minor by
Great Britain and her protege,
Greece.
Questions which have proved con-
tentious between France and Great
Britain were expected to be
threshed out at the preliminary
meeting between Millerand and
Lloyd George, in progress today.
Undoubtedly the decisions reached
at Hythe will have considerable ef-
feet at Boulogne.

EDISON DECLARES
AMERICA CHANGED

Newark, n. j., June 20.-Democ-
racy is inefficient, some sort of a
league of nations inevitable and
Americas position in regard to in
ternational affairs entirely changed
as result of this .country's partici-
patton in the war, Thomas A. Edison
said yesterday.
The time has arrived when there
must be some understanding among
the nations which won the war. A
league of nations document, with
proper safeguards protecting Amer
ica's peculiar interests, would be
the proper thitg. In time the league
would become effective. though IT
might take half a century to accom-
plish this"

Sermons Heard in Washington Churches Yesterday
Pulpit Not Lecture Plat
form, nor Newspaper, But
Appeal to Spirit, Says DR..
Wallace Radcliffe, in 18th
Anniversary Sermon.

The Rev. DR.. Wallace Radcliffe,
pastor Of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church, celebrated the
itwenty-ffth anniversary of his
present pastorate yesterday morn
in. He said in part:
| This pastorate has sought to
magnify the pulpit. The day of
preaching is not past. 1t exists as
long as the church exists. The COM
mission Of the church is preach
Modern organization can meet many
needs which in other days demanded
persistent visitation.
The pulpit Is distinctive. 1t Is
not lecture platform. nor a social
entertainment, nor gossip, nor a
| ewspaper. Its appeal is to the spirit.
It's business is to conduct and train
souls into conscious fellowship with
God. 1t instructs. 1t has a text
book. Both the Old and New Testa-
ments are inspired and are profit
able.
Old Testament Best Text Book
Even today the best texts are in
the Old Testament. 1t was the
only Bible Jesus had. No man has
a right to preach who does not
lpreach doctrine. This pulpit is
Ievangclistic. 1t deals with the in
idividual soul. 1t believes the only
salvation is by the cross Of Christ.
1t recognizes no new gospel. 1t pro-
claims the reality of sin: the pos
sibility of salvation. and the neces-
sity of the new heart. 1t is CO.
a ra mi In
service with all who profess and
call themselves Christians.
| "Duing this pastorate we have re-
ceived into the communion of this
church I.4S6 members and lost by
dismissals and deaths 1,05S. We
have raised. for congregational pur-
lposes. s355.733. and for benevolence,
s27e,3S6; in all. $62S,139. The ban
ner years in gifts and accessories
were the church years ending March,
1900, and March, 1890"
Recognition Must Wait.
Preaching here is like preaching
to a running stream-most of its
recognition and results must await
the revelations of eternity. The
Temptation of a Washington church
is to become only a mass meeting.
This pastorate has aimed at COM
pactness, loyalty and service.
The whole period has been dis
ltinguAhed by an unusual and
Threatening spirit of change. yet the
central verities are unchanged. The
great realities of the personality
Of God, the duty of Christ. the in
spiration of the Bible and the atone
ment and the Holy Spirit are deep
ened and enriched"

Real Leaders of People
Must Have Come from the
People Declares the
Rev. DR.. Henry Allen
Upper, Preaching at
First Baptist Church.

Real leaders of the people have
come from the people. and are not
the facile creations OF political
manipulation or the feeble heir
looms of a degenerate heritage"
declared the Rev. DIR. Henry Allen
Upper in his sermon at the First
Baptist Church yesterday morning
His subject was "A Leader for Our
Loved Land" He said:
THE real leader comes to his
place of power by the magnetic
moral gravitation of inevitable
events, rising by the innate mo-
mentum of invincible worth. pass
ing through the experiences of hu-
man, life and shadows, defeats anc
victories, feeling a sympathetic
kinship and fellowship with the
masses of men,"
Cites Daniel ms Example.
Citing the careers of past and
present leaders, DR.. upper asked.
What are the elements of char
acter and conduct that are requisite
to leadership in this critical era of
our national history" He then re-
viewed the life of Daniel and
summed up his qualities. saying:
Daniel was president whose
character was marked by uncom-
promising principle. Honesty, up
rightness, unselfishncss and a lofty
sense of duty marked the life of
the man who held one of the most
responsible positions of his day.
He was a leader whose conduct was
ordered by diplomatic wisdom. He
was a well-posed- man of affairs
above all, he was a man of God.
Today the use of our common
sense by the grace of God. the
striking of the golden mean in life
is fine art lost to many souls.
Inspired All Who Knew Him.
Z Daniel inspired every life he
touched with the highest ideals and
brought forth a rich fruition. He
placed God at the circumference of
human life. He knew man and lea
man as God revealed man. He was
a powerful president of men by al
lowing Jehovah to be a president of
his life and to teach him that the
divine help for man in need and the
only curesfor man in his sins is God,
THE leader of this republic, az
this critical point in our national
career must be, in creed and deco,
a man who admits Almighty God
into all of his councils and whose
aim is to bless his fellow-men and
glorify his Creator and Saviour in
his public and private life"

| Paris, June ls.-Predictions that
o. Henry's little old New York
his beloved Bagdad on the
Subway-would In some remote
j time lead the cities of the
world in the variety Of Its frivolous
accomplishments and its reverence
for the absurd might have come
true IL the worship of Bacchus had
not been turned into a saccharine
soda water ritual. and the gay and
giddy temples closed by the dry
anne ndment. But such are the
facts. and II seems now the French
capital, this joyous, .effervescent
Paris. must continue to wear the
mantle Of .norsense and to don tho
cap and bells before the world.
Paris is comparatively serious
these June days. There is not so
much before-the-war folly for
many reasons. principally becaues
the cafes cannot remain open all
night: but boulevardiers are rejoic-
ing at the news that the closing
hour for cafes will be extended to
midnight. for they said Paris rs
pledged to gayety. and 1t cannot
long remain inert and fiat with only
occasional fare-ups in politics for
amusement.
Theaters Are damned.
While 1t would be untrue to say
that the great war has not left a
definite stamp on Paris. Ii is evident,
however, that the period of mourn
ing is coming to an end. The
French temperament is too spon-
taneous and too flexible to remain
in serious ntemplation of great
losses, and one sees this solemn re-
,sistance gradually giving way to the
Impulse to enjoy life.
Even now along the boulevards
the music halls and moving picture
palaces are emerging from the
lchrysalis of six years of restrictions.
De luxe American soda fountains
have appeared among the array Of
cafes; touring parties afoot and in
motor busses fly along, Baedeker in
hand, and there's not a theater or a
band-box cinema in Paris that is not
playing to capacity houses every
night. The soldiers are gone.
And thus Partisan life is settling
down to the enjoyment of new and
old pleasures or merely all the older
pleasures served up in newer forms.
Paris magazines long famous for
their high art OF CaricatUre have
dropped the war subjects and are
concentrating on the foibles of life
! and politics that manifest the de-
vious and eccentric ways of the
genus homo. The shortage of small
change has been the subject of a
frontal attack by the humorists.
And the long-promised notes for
nifty centimes and one franc which
finally we've Issued have provoked
| unlimited satire.
