DR. TAYLOR CLAIMS
 MISSIONARIES BEST
Executive of Interchurch Movement Thinks Mexico
 Can Be Tanned
By Associated Press

Washington. February S.-A few well equipped missionaries could do more to pacify Mexico in one month than an army of soldiers could accomplish in century, Dr. s, Earl Taylor. executive secretary of the interchurch world movement. told the national conference of church women here today in a plea for the application of Christian prn- ciples to problems confronting the world.
 1literacy, disease and absence of evan- gelical influence. Dr. Taylor declared, are the factors which have retarded Mexican development. 1t was only by the establishment of Christian mission ary schools, he averred, that friendly re- lations could be restored between Mexico and the United States
 Europe is in desperate straits, especial ly from a religious standpoint, pr. Tay- Tor asserted,
 "Only a short time ago l was in Buda- pest and spent an entire day trying to get a clergyman out of jail,@ he told the conference The only crime he had committed was that of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
 American and British relief organiza tions are doing what they can to re lieVe the situation, but that is very little under present circumstances. Cnufchneils especially Americans, must quicken their pace and be brought to understand their responsibility to humanity
 Dr. Ahram c. Cory, director of the field department. announced that series of pastors conferences would be held in every state between February 16 and March 26, preparatory to the financial campaign which will be inaugurated in April
 At today's sessions. plans were made by women representing twenty y-eight or more religious denominations and faiths to combine to overcome what was char acterized as the dangerously insiduous modern tendency toward Indecent clothes, indecent dances and tunes of African jungle sypcopatiop. The con ference decided unanimously to convene in every state a series of mothers meet ings. at whioh it is proposed to enlist every woman in the campaign, and at the
 sa me time a committee was appointed to consider the advisability of making the issue an integral part of the inter' church world movement
 Announcement also made that various boards, cooperating with the inter- church movement, intend to spend $500
 o00 for the reorganization and care of children. In an effort to make religious services entertaining to children 1t is planned to introduce moving pictures n Sunday schools.

 With Frivolous Cases
By Associated Press

Washington, February s-Holding that it is not the governments duty to clog the courts with frivolous and hopeless appeals, Attorney General Palmer, in statement tonight, outlined the bass for the governments decision against car rying to the supreme court the south ern Pacific oil land cases. which decision has been the subject of protest by Gif- ford Pinchot, former chief of the bureau of forestry, in letters to Mir Palmer and to President Wilson.
 Indisputable evidence the Attorney Generals statement asserts, was pre- sented in the trial of the oil cases in the lower court, that at the time of the tracts in question which are located in South California. were granted in lSs2- 1897, the southern Pacific railroad had nc knowledge that the lands were oil bearing. Also, the statement adds. evi- dence was produced showing that the Southern Pacific for years after receiv- ing the grants had the lands on the mar ket as agricultural and sold large acre ages as such Therefore in the opinloh of MT Palmer, granting of the lands, later found to contain oil, could not De held void on q charge of bad faith in their acquisition.

 When the liver is allowed to go to sleep, bodily poisons accumulate, physi- cal resistance gets low, mental sharp ness becomes blunted, your step drags you get sluggish and tire easily, colds and all manner of ills get an easy hold on you.
 "The best way to keep physically alert and healthy is to take Barbacals, a highly effective but gently acting tab let of Rhubarb and refined calomel.'

France Watches Her
 Frontier Possessions
Ru Assnniatsd Pres.

Paris, Saturday, February "A bill in troduced in the chamber of deputies by the government would prohibit foreigners from acquiring or leasing houses and real estate in any department on the frontiers for period of eighteen years without authorization by the minister of the interior. Another bill dealing with foreigners residing in France permanent ly or temporarily would give them free dom of access, no passport being de- manded at the frontier. The bill stipu- lates, however, that control of the for eigners would be exercised, in the case of travellers or tourists by obligatory dec- laration of identity and nationality at a hotel or other place of residence.
