The moment | saw Roy sitting on

became as remote as San Francisco

my desire to make entirely too much
fuss over him, and drawled rather
indifferently:

SHIPPING AVOIDS
 VLADIvOST0

Seattle. Wash, April 29-Vladivos- tok, in former years one of the most important shipping centers in the Far East, is as quiet as a deserted villa age, according to advices received today by the Pacific Steamship Com pany from it's Vladivostok agent All overseas steamship companies have withdrawn their vessels. he said, and only a line of Japanese tramp coasters now stops there.
 These conditions are a result of the reign of the Russian 'reds'' who have taken over the stevedoring in Vladi- vostok, advanced rates to a prohibi- tive point and issued an edict making it unlawful to export raw materials or sell goods to foreigners, the report said. The National City Bank of New York has closed it's Vladivostok branch, leaving one foreign bank in the city in addition to the perma- nently established Russian banks, ac- cording to the advices.
 Only three vessels. except the coast ing ships of the Japanese line have arrived in Vladivostok since Jan. 1 the agent noted.

ARE SERMONS
 INDISPENSABLE?

London, April 29-Are sermons in dispensable? This is one of the ques- tions on which a decision may be talk by the Bishops of the Anglican Church at their meeting in Lamberth in Judy.
 A section of churchmen are de- clared to be of the opinion that the day of the sermon has passed. They hold that if man has not the gift of preaching, it would be better for everyone that he should not preach. The two sermons each Sunday cus- tom, they say, imposes a great strain on the clergy-a strain equally if not heavily felt by the laity who are re- quested to listen to these effusions. The unpopularity of published volumes of sermons, once in great de- mand, is cited by this faction as evil dence of the sermons waning effec- tiVeneSs.
