Government statistics sometimes
seem to be erroneous. Treasury Of
ficials have issued statistics which,
show that ssOO,00O,OOO is spent an
nually for cigarettes and only $780,
100000 for cigars. Again, soft
drinks including ice cream and soda
costs only $780, 100000 while perfum-
cry and cosmetics cost S75O,OOO 900
Toilet soaps are said to cost s40O,-
100000 and furs only s3OO,OOO,OOO
The government seems to have NO
statistics as to the cost of "hard
licker."

And tiptoed forward toward the pain
Expectant of a stormy scene.

Rodman Wannamaker II And Com.
panions Finally Repair Plane
And Reach Florida

West Palm Beach, Fla.-Rodman
Wannamaker II of Philadelphia and
the other five members of his party
arrived at Palm Beach after having
spent "a hours during storm at sea
in a six-passenger seaplane piloted by
Lieut.. Com. David H. McCulloch, a
member of the NC-3 crew during her
transatlantic flight.
Lack of food and water was the
most severe hardship the party suf-
fered, aside from fears that engine
trouble, which forced the plane to
light on the sea, might not be re-
paired for some time. The men spent
"a hours adrift in the gulf stream,
and Commander McCulloch declared
that the fact that it was possible to
effect repairs and continue the flight
to land proved the practicability of
air navigation at sea.

U. S. AMBASSADOR
RESIGNS HIS POST
THERE rs NO USE FOR AMERICAN
AMBASSADOR so LONG AS
cARRANzA CONTROLS
FLETCHER LEAVES MEXICO
Fletcher Sought To Resign Post Last
Summer, But Was Induced
To Remain

Washington.-H Henry p. Fletcher has
resigned as United States ambassador
to Mexico, to take effect in the course
of the next few weeks.
Those who know the reason for Mr..
Fletchers decision say that he was
convinced that continuation OF the
efforts he has made during the four
years in which he has held this I'M
portant post to bring the Carranza
government into accord with the Unit
cd States government on the many
irritating issues which have arisen in
volving the protection of American
lives and property rights, would be
futile ole terminates eighteen years
Of service in the diplomatic branch
of tbs government with great regret
and without any particular plans for
his own future, but feels certain he
can no longer be helpful in cultivat-
ing proper relations with Mexico as
long as President CarranZa remains
in control there. The ambassadors ac-
tiyity in the presentation of the Amer
lean demands have made it certain
that he could not return to his post
with benefit to either government.
Mr.. Fletcher's resignation was not
hastily determined upon and, in fact,
last summer he sought to terminate
his relations with the state depart
ment. But, owing to the state of pub
lie business and the illness of some
OF the higher officials Of the depart
ment, he was induced to remain in
Washington to act as advisor to the,
secretary in matters relating not only
to Mexico, but to all Latin-America,
for which work he was peculiarly fit
ted by reason of his long experience
in that part of the world.
Mr.. Fletcher was, appointed ambas-
sador to Mexico in February, 1916, but
did not go to Mexico City until the
February of the following year, hav-
ing come to the United States from
Chile, where he was the American
ambassador, for long series of con-
ferences.

Every phrase in this Saying" de-
serves our consideration.
The Names of Christ.
Christ Jesus" Christ" is Greek
for the Hebrew Messiah" and means
anOinted: our Lord was anointed to be
the King and Redeemer of his people.
Jesus" is Greek for the Hebrew
Joshua" and means Jehovah, the Sa-
vi0r: it is the human name of our

as the One manifested. Sometimes
one name is placed first and some
times the other When "Jesus Christ

Christ Jesus" marks him as "the now
glOritied One who was once humbled."
The latter expression is appropriately
used here where Paul looks back to

Game into the world" 1t will be
seen at once that this implies pre-eX-

appreciation of what it meant for
Christ to come into the world? These
words of Prof. A. T. Robertson are
well worth pondering:

that are beyond our comprehension.
We catch glimpses of the yearning of
Christ for the glory which he had with
the Father before the incarnation and
even before the world was, by the Fa-
theirs side John II ~. There is a
fullness of knowledge between the Son
and the Father not true of others, and
Jesus often goes alone to pray with
the Father. How the Son missed the
glories of heaven we can only ina
CINE. How the sin and desOlatiOn of
earth Jared upon his sensitive soul
we do have some comprehension, but
only a little after all, for we have be-
come used to the dullness and hard
ness of our world. Perhaps it was in
mercy to Jesus that there was some
humiliation in his incarnation, else
he could not have endured his earth
ly estate"
ITO save" This, then, was the OBJ
ject of Christ's coming into the
world. His very name, Jesus, Savior,
makes this clear. Moreover, the sal
walton he provides is all-inclusive. On

death and judgment resulting from
sin, while on the other he brings to us
all positive blessing in the place of
condemnation. 1t covers Justification
