FIVE PROTESTANT.
BODIES APPROVE
WORLD MOVEMENT

Five of the great bodies of Ameri-
can Professionalism, meeting in gen
eral session, have given approval to
the proposed policy of the Inter-
church World Movement for the COM
ing year. according to statement
given out Friday at the headquarters
of the southeastern division of the
movement in Atlanta.
DR.. Will w. Alexander, the divis-
ional director, who issued the state
ment, calls attention to the fact that
in the past the movement has de-
pended upon the Endorsement and CO.
operation of the various church
boards and agencies for it's existence;
but now for the first time, the seal
of the highest governing bodies of
entire denominations have given it
approval and the future organization
and progress of it's work is definitely
assured.
Contrary to previous statements
issued from Philadelphia during the
meeting of the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church in the U. S.
A, the northern Presbyterian body
has voted to continue it's cooperation
in the movement.
The general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, meeting
at Des Moines, Iowa, Endorsed the re-
organization plans of the general
church. Similar approval was voted
by the Methodist Protestant body
at Greensboro, N. c..

Church in the United States. in it's

SENATE AND HOUSE
WORKING HARD TO
FINISH BUSINESS
Several Appropriation Bills
to Be Passed Before Sat-
urday Night: Armenian
Resolution to Go Through

WASHINGTON, Tune 4.-With
conference reports on several impor-
tant measures and a mass of routine
legislation remaining to be disposed
of, both the senate and house, after
long night sessions. were making ev-
cry effort today to finish their pro-
gram by Saturday, when congress
will adjourn.
In the senate, which remained in
session until after o'clock this
morning to pass the third deficiency
bill carrying appropriations of $685.
467, 900, or 100000 more than the
house bill, the conference report on
the merchant marine bill was made
the unfinished business to be taken
Up at IL o'clock. Several appropria-
ton bills also were yet to be ap-
proved.
A similar program was before the
house, in addition to which leaders
In that branch expected to consider
the senate resolution refusing the au-
thority asked by President Wilson
for a mandate over Armenia. Pas
sage of the resolution was said to
be assured, although Democrats ex-
pressed hope that the vote would
not be as decisive as that in the SEN
ate.
The merchant marine bill was be-
fore the house yesterday but was
sent back to conference because it
was held the conferees had exceeded
their authority in making several
changes. These were eliminated by
the conferees last night and the
measure was expected to meet little
opposition when again presented to-
day. which will be after the senate
has acted.
The senate today accepted the con
ference report by vote of 45 to Ia.
The bill outlines for the United
States shipping board a general pol
icy for sale of war-built ships to
private American interests insofar as
it is possible in the boards opinion
to find American purchasers.

PALMER BRANDS
LAWYERS REPORT
ON REDS AS FALSE

WASHINGTON. June 4.-Describ-
ing as utterly false charges con-
tanned in a report Of a committee of
lawyers to the National Popular Gov
eminent league relative to the treat
ment of arrested aliens by the de-
partment of justice, Attorney General
Palmer today called on Felix Frank
furter, of Cambridge, Mass, one of
the signers of the report, to retract
them.
Mr.. Palmer te1egraphed Mr.. Frank
furter in reply to telegram from
him and Zachariah Chafee, Jr., of
Cambridge, asking the attorney gen.
eraI whether he was disposed to pro-
hibit arrested aliens from having Ie-
gal counsel.
~ am just now in receipt of the
telegram signed by you and Zacha-
riah Chafee, Jr.," the attorney gener-
ais telegram said. 81 have not crit
icized you or any other lawyer for
appearing as counsel for aliens in de-
portation cases in any proceedings,
either before the department of labor
or in court. My criticism was direct
ed against the action of yourself and
other lawyers whose names were at
tached to a statement filed with the
house of representatives on rules ana
given wide publicity in the country,
making utterly false charges against
the department of justice and the at
torney general.
"These charges had as their only
foundation statements made by aliens
after their arrests, which were pal
pably false upon their face and the
allegations of which, as you know,
were denied by the responsible sworn
officers of the government whose con-
duct these aliens sought to impeach.
These government officers are re-
sponsible American citizens of high
character and unquestioned veracity,
whose testimony is entitled to be be-
lieved Some of the aliens them
selves have since denied the very
statements which your committee
filed. Your apparent willingness to
believe these statements made by
alien anarchists when facing deporta-
ton in preference to the testimony
of sworn officers Of the government,
whose only motive is the performance
Of duty, indicates some other desire
on your part than just administration
of the law.
IT produced before the committee
on rules of the house Of representa-
tives conclusive proof Of the falsity
of these charges. Confronted by
proof Of the undoubted falsity of
these charges you owe it to yourself
as we'll as to the department of JUS
tice to publicly retract them"

WAR LAW REPEAL.
PASSED BY HOUSE,
IS BEFORE SENATE
Committee Reports 1t With
out Amendment and
Chances Favor Final Pas
sage Before Adjournment

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Without
amendment the senate judiciary COM
mittee today reported out the house
joint resolution providing, for the re-
peal of all war legislation except
the Lever food control and the trad
ing with the enemy act.
Leaders believed its passage could
be brought about before adjournment
Saturday.
The house adopted the resolution
yesterday almost unanimously.
On the roll-call, however, only
three Democrats opposed the resolu-
ton. They were Representatives
Sims and Garrett, Tennessee, and
Welling. Utah.
Though supporting the resolution,
Democrats protested against continu-
ing in force the Lever act and ex-
pressed doubt whether the repeal bill
as drafted covered all war legisla-
ton, particularly the espionage act.
Representative Walsh, Republican,
Massachusetts, in charge of the re-
peal resolution, replying to the ex
pressed doubts of the Democrats, said
that all war laws, excepting the two
specifically mentioned by the resolu-
ton and the Liberty and Victory loan
acts, would be repealed by the meas
ure. Continuance of the Lever act,
Mr.. Walsh declared. was necessary
so that the government would have
law to punish profiteering in food,
clothing and other necessities.
Representative Igoe, Democrat,
Missouri, charged the Republicans
wished to continue the Lever law be-
cause it is favored by certain in
terests as effective anti-strike legis-
lation"

of time, it will mean more hay saved, more profit to the farm CT, and a better condition for ttle country.
 Here are some suggestions made by the specialists for avoiding waste of labor in hay making.
 Do not run two or more mow- CTS close together. If the front mower has any trouble that causes it to stop, all of the mow- CTS usually wait while repairs are made on one. There is a tendency, also, for drivers to waste too much time talking when they stop occasionally to let the teams rest. A good prac- tice when two or more machin- es are used is for each driver to lay off a Hand" for himself and work independently, so there will be no interference from other machines.
 Do not turn hay by hand. It is too costly. The cheapest and in the windrow is with a two- most efficient way of stirring horse tedder. One man will do more work than 12 men stirring with hand forks. It is not even necessary to have a man to run the tedder. A boy big enough to drive team will do just as much work.
