THE IMPOSSIBLE


Matthew 1873 TO l3
"a sermon preached by Rev. c. C.
Weith. Sunday night.
Jesus was always watched and criti-
cized by those opposed to Him. He
interfered with their plans. He was
not orthodox. He thought more OF
the peoples needs than of the good
will of the leaders. When He en-
tered the synagogue He was at once
linked with the man in need. Would
He dare to break precedent and GUS

he would

was n helpless. useless hand. He
had not been able to use it for years.
1t was withered and the sinews
shrunken. He could, he stretched it
forth. This is common sense and
reason. After all, reason Is not the
only power of man. We do more
things spontaneously than we do
by mere reason. The defective man
never stopped to reason. He saw
those compelling eyes and under
their spell he acted instantly. What
an amazing thing this is. The i'm
possible has happened. The man
moved his useless, immovable hand.
IT cannot be done! Yet, he did it..
Herein is thought Of mans power
when Joined to Gods.
Courage and Self-Reliance Essential
Too many of us are content to sit
or lie helpless when we could help
ourselves. Look at the beggars on
our streets. Many Of them are beg
gars from choice rather than from
need We all know of people who
were blind yet were not content to
beg but made themselves useful. 9th
ers who have lost one or both limbs
yet did not give up. Courage and self
reliance are essential to a successful
life and especially so to a Christian
life.
God All Powerful
Christ can help us to overcome
our defects. Have you withered
hand? Take it to Jesus. Many really
honest people are afraid to become
Christians because they fear they
will not be able to hold out. II don't
want to start and fail" 'I know
my weakness and fear it will come
back" The fallacy lies in not taking
God into account here. God is all
powerful and your friend A real
friend will not fail in the hour Of
need, neither will God. Besides, we

JUDGE POLLOCK
ORDERS PROBE Of
FEDERAL PRISON


Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 16.-Follow-
ing the testimony today that the fed
eral disciplinary barracks at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas. was ruled by a
Soviet" committee with the approval
of the officers in charge Judge j. c.
Pollock, of the Kansas City, Kansas,
federal court this evening ordered n
sweeping investigation of the bar
racks.
The testimony upon which the
courts order was based was given at
the trial of eleven former inmates of
the barracks charged with being i'm
plicated in a plot of nationwide ram
ifications to print at the barracks and
circulate fraudulent government
treasury certificates,
"The honor, dignity and standing of
that great department of the govern
ment (the war departmenD has been
hesmirched. evidence that has been
given at this trial." said Judge Pol
lock.
'Of course il it should be determin-
ed that the evidence is false the de-
partment of justice will prove guilty
those giving that false evidence. But
if the evidence is true, it must not be
in our country that we turn over any
branch of it or any part of it TO an
archy or the soviet form of govern
ment. The people of the United
States are not ready for such thing"

LIFT BLOCKADE Of
SOVIET RUSSIA
tsv noWnlsa JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,ssj

Paris, Jan. 16.--In an official COM
munication issued this evening, the gu
preme council approved of recon-
mendations to relieve the population
in the interior of Russia by giving
them medicine, agricultural machin-
cry and other commodities of which
the people are in sore need, in ex-
2change for grain and flax.
This partial lifting of the blockade
is described in the official communi-
cation as an exchange of goods on the
basis of reciprocity between the Rus
sian people and allied and neutral
countries, but through the co-opera-
tive societies. "These arrangements
imply no change in the policy of the
allied governments toward the soviet
government" says the communication

SECURES
HUGE CONCESSION
FROM UNCLE SAM


Chicago, Jan. 16.--Gov. II. o. Low
den of Illinois today received a per-
nit from Secretary Baker for the
construction of the Illinois waterway
including Improvement or the Des
PLANES and Illinois rivers between
Lockport and Utica. The improve
ment will make servceabIe for water
borne commerce lE 900 miles of in
land rivers in the middle west.
The Improvement will provide a
direct route for water commerce
from Chicago to New Orleans, from
the Great Lakes to st. Paul. Mime
dpolis and other northwest centers.
Either by way of the Illinois river and
St Louis or by use of the Hennepin
canal as a short route from the Illi-
nOis river TO Rock Island and Daven-
port, 1t also will open direct water
connection betw cen Pittsburgh and
other Ohio CITIES with Chicago.
The cost will be about $40 900, 900.
There will be a. return to Illinois from
water power of approximately ST.,
100000 year and this power will
save half a million tons of coal an
nually.
Construction has been agitated for
many years, and it is said Father
Marquette contemplated it. For twen-
ty years, state administrations have
sought In vain TO secure government
approval and permit of construction.
The opening of the route will be of
great commercial Importance TO st.
Louis. Memp his Kansas City and the
southwest, as well as the northwest,
middle west and Mississippi valley.
Opening of this waterway will be
of increased value to farmers of the
great producing states of the Missis-
sippi valley and the northwest, said
Governor Lo'wden today.

DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS IN
DEADLOCK STILL
Conferences Show Little Dis
position to Yield on Article
X; Lodge Talks With lnflu-
entail Party Men.


Washington, Jan. 16.--Preliminary
to the second conference tomorrow OF
the bipartisan committee of senate
leaders discussing compromise of the
peace treaty deadlock, Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, republican leader
and two of his colleagues. Senators
Lenroot of Wisconsin and Kellogg of
Minnesota, conferred late today re-
garding the proposals received from
the democrats.
There was less optimism expressed
today for success of the present move
ment, although the "round table" dis
cussions are expected to continue for
some time.
Because it is believed publicity
might be harmful, those in confer
ence We're chary today of public dis
eussion. In private conversations,
however, spokesmen of both factions
said there still was o wide gelf TO he
bridged. Heading the obstacles Is the
reservation affecting Article X of the
league of nations covenant and on
this, it was stated reliably, neither
republicans nor democrats We're show
ing as yet much disposition toward
agreement.
In addition to the conference today
between Senator Lodge and the two
mild reservation" republicans who
are on the informal republican COM
mittee, the republican leader saw
Senator Borah, republican. Idaho. one
of the leading foes of the treaty. Mr..
Borah and Senator johnson, repub
lican, California, another treaty OPP
ponent. also conferred on the treaty
situation.
On the democratic side numerous
conferences also were held. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the admins
tration leader; Senator McKellar of
Tennessee, Kendrick of Wyoming,
Simmons of North Car 0lina and others
were participants.

The government recognizing the importance of educa-

"ln view, then. OF the fact that the

Railroad Men Also.
Careful consideration has also been
given to the possibility OF continuing,
after the departure of the American
troops, the assistance of American
railway experts in the operation of
the trans-Siberian and Chinese East
ern railways. 1t will be recalled that
it is expressly stipulated in the plan
for the supervision of these railways
which was submitted by the Japanese
y
Is, 1919, that the arrangement should
cease upon the withdrawal of the for
eign military forces from Siberia and
that all foreign railway experts ap-
pointed under the arrangements
should then be recalled forthwith.
The experience of recent months in
the operation of the railways under
conditions of unstable civil authority
and frequent local military interfer-
ence furnishes a strong reason for
abiding by the terms of the original
agreement. Arrangements will be
made accordingly for the withdrawal
of the American railway experts un-
der the same conditions and simulta-
neous with the departure of the Amer
ical military forces.
