Germans Tells of
 Asking Mexico to Join in the War

Berlin, May 14.-Herr von Kemnitz, who is candidate of the German neople's party for election to the Reichstae. admits in the Oder Zeitung of Frankfort. that he drafted the first final dispatach to Mexico in which Germany endeavored to enlist that country's armed aid in the event of war with the United States. At the time he was advisor at the foreign office on far eastern and Cntral American affairs.
 Herr von Kemmitz declares he should not be blamed for the United States government obtaining posses sion of the document, which if it had been kent secret, he says, could only have done good.
 "I foresaw two possibilities. ex- nlained the former advisor. "First that Mexico would decline because she was afraid of the United States, which wonld nevertheless have strengthened the Germanophile seuti- ment in Mexico, or. second. Mexico would accent. in- which case consider able American forces would have been tied up on the Mexican border and Germany would not have incurred any special obligations.
 We would have been ready to urder- toke obligations if Mexico had been able to indurn Janan to join us."
 Herr von Kemnitz. who also claims credit for originating the idea of en- lis+ino Mexico's aid. continues:
 "I did not have much hope of sue "ess. a~ conversations with Janar at Stockholm early in 1916 had been fruitless. But I felt that nothing should be left unattended to remedy the error then committed, and as my

Yet it is admitted by Admiral Sims that in the spring of 1918 Amer ican troops were transported to France at the rate of nearly 30O,0OO a month or more than ten times the rate to which he said transportation had been restricted in 1917 because of the destruction of tonnage. ihiS simple fact refutes absolutely Admiral Sims statement that the tonnage losses of 1917 made it impossible to transport any considerable American ary," and made it necessary to limit the number of American troops that could be sent abroad during the first year to an average Of appfoXlmately 10000 men per month.
 "There never was a time," the wit ness said, "when tonnage was not available to carry troops and supplies to France as fast as they could be landed and transported to the front although it was "only by extreme eX- ertions that this was done during the rush of troops in April.'
 "Allocation of ships to the United States by the Allies was always the dominant factor,' MT. Daniels de- clared.
 Shortened War.
 "As a matter of fact the American army materially shortened the war, said Secretary Daniels. "1t got to the front as soon as it was humanly pos sible, not by chance but as result of careful plans involving complete co-operation between the army and navy, carefully carried out"
 Mir. Daniels quoted Field Marshal Haig as saying that the British arm ies were unable to intervene until nearly two years had elapsed in suf- ficient strength adequately to assist the Allies "The war was over 1S months after the United States enter ed," he said. adding mo man can deny that within 15 months after ou1 entry the American army was in sui ficient strength adequately to assist the Allies"
 In this connection he asked the com. mittee to consider that American troops and supplies had to be trans. bored across 5000 miles of sea, while Great Britain was within sound o1 the guns"
 MT. Daniels quoted from the testi. mony of Admiral Rodman and Will son, Rear Admirals Niblack, McKean Straus, Fletcher and Padget and Cap. tain Pratt to show that all of these officers refused to support Admira Sims charges of prolongation of the war

PAINLESS" CAvEL IS JUST THE THING!

WASHINGTON - Vice Presi- dent Marshall promises to use the anesthetic properties of his new painless" gavel during further discussion in the Senate on the League of Nations. He says it should render painless such op- erations as the Senate may wish to make upon the body of the league and avoid the agonies of the recent debate. Because said gavel, presented to Marshall by Representative Thomas M. Bell of Georgia, was made from the fa- nous mulberry tree in Jefferson co. Ga., under which Dr. Crawford Long performed the first painless surgical operation through the use of an anesthetic, March 30, 1842.

lin Pensacola, to be present at every
service of one OF the most enjoyable
two weeks meetings I have ever at
tended.
The meeting was conducted by the
First Christian church of Pensacola.
with local forces only. The pastor,
Minor J. Ross, gave to his audience
excellent sermons, clear and concise,
full of food for thought and delivered
with telling effect because of the kind
ly, sympathetic, manner of the
speaker.
During these revival services the
church board, the choir and the people
in the pews gave their most loyal
support to the pastor.
The results of these services were
twelve accessions to the church. ten
of these by baptism and two by state
ment.
Since Brother Ross began his pas
torate with the Pensacola church on
Nov. 16, 1919, there have been % ad-
ditions to the church membership and
the work has been gradually growing
and developing.
Abingdon, III.
On Easter Sunday an offering for
the National Benevolent Association
was taken at Sunday School which
amounted to 1927, twice as much as
the Sunday School has given in any
single offering previously. The at
tendance at Sunday School on that
day reached a mark as high as that
set by any previous day in the his
tory of the church.
The next work to be undertaken by
this church is a Sunday School cam
paign. This campaign is to begin at
once and continue until Chirlden's day
in June.
During the month of March this
splendid group of people has given
SAL for missionary work through the
regular channels of the church and
has contributed more than $50 to the
Near East Relief Fund. Also during
this month live woman's missionary
society has been organized with Is
charter members.
The Pensacola First Chris a n
church is deserYedly popular for its
splendid hospitality and the writer
of this article can bear very real testi-
mony to its Kindness to the stranger
within it sgates.
