MEN PACK CHURCH
TO HEAR A SPECIAL
SUNDAY SERMON

An audience of men which filled
the Baptist church yesterday after
noon heard sermon by the Rev. j..
L. Gross, pastor, on the responsible
lity of men to lead others to better
lives by example and precept. AT the
conclusion of the sermon, the aud
fence filed by the pulpit and shook
hands with the four pastors pre-
sent, DR.. Gross, and the Revs. En-
nett T. Day Of the Presbyterian
church. w. II. Frame of the Chris.
tian church and J. A. Ruffner of the
Methodist church.
DR.. Gross sermon was a plain,
practical talk on moral responsible,
lity that at time touched the peaks
Of eloquence as he drove home some
important point Frequently, when
he had made some strong assertion,
he would ask. do you believe that?'
and there would be a chorus Of
"Yes"
The central theme Of his talk was
the statement that no man has a
right TO live to himself alone when
his positive services are required by
his fellow man. If one passed a burn.
ing house and failed to hear the
cries of a woman whom he might
have rescued. he said, he cannot ex.
cuse himself on the grounds that il
was none Of his business. If that
woman died because Of his failure 10
do his duty, the minister declared,
her blood was on the soul Of that
man.
All rights are relative. he argued.
One has a right to use a water from
a stream but he must not return il TO
the stream polluted or deprive the
man further down Of his share. In
the same way, the man who enjoys
the advantages of community life
but turns a stream of the dirty
consequences Of his own unright
eousness back into the community
is guilty or a great wrong.
Every life. consciously or uncons
ciously. has an effect upon other
lives, the minister continued. The
shadows Of some lives fall upon
those around them with the effect Of
a blight while the shadows Of others
bring comfort and refreshment upon
all.
The minister drew two verbal por
traits. One was Of man, humble,
self-effacing. scarcely noticed in his
every days walk and vet whose in
fluence in his home town was 50
great that, when he died. many per.
sons in many walks Of life independ.
emily assured the speaker that they
had lost their best friend. Tho
other was of young man, gifted,
brilliant, capable. but who BY his
cynical bearing towards the high
er things had brought himself and
many companions to derredation.
The one H. cited a. an instance of
what any man might be in his com
munity and the other an instance Of
what no man should permit himself
to become.

Japan NOTE TO AMERICA
TAKES FIRM YAP STAND

WASHINGTON, April 1S-Jap-

and made public today by the state
department, along with other CORES
pondence Of the two governments,
says that the United States, in ord
er to maintain its position in regard
to the island of zap, will have to
prove not merely the fact that
president Wilson made reservations
concerning the island" but also that
the Supreme Council decided in fav-
or Of those views.
The note says:
1t must also be remembered that.
if a decision was made in favor Of
exclusion Of Yap--a question OF
grave concern to Japan and one on
whic the japanese delegation in
variably made firm attitude-real-
~ was made at the meeting Of the
Supreme Council on May II, 1919,
at which Japan was not represented,
it could not but have been regarded
as an act Of bad faith"
Secretary Hughes declared that
the United States is unable to agree
with Japan's contention in regard 70
the matter.
Secretary Hughes replied to this
note last April 5, simultaneously
sending a similar note to Great
Britain. which concluded with the
statement concerning zap with the
thorized to cede or surrender any
right or interest of the United States
in this island.
The government must insist that IL
has not lost its right or interest as
they existed prior to any action by
the Supreme Council or the League
Of Nations and cannot recognize the
ALLEGATION Of the island or the vail
dity of the mandate of Japan"

MELLILLA, Morocco, April IS
Slavery and trading in slaves still
flourish in the unconquered dis
tricts of both the French and Span
ish zones of Morocco. There have
been stories that some 70 the slaves
are white people but these reports
are not borne out by inquiry.

lud, unless his father with whom he
had been wrecked and captured paid

peop'e in northern Africa.
The result of his inquiries shows

white people being sold into slavery
have been very rare, but there are

However, it j. customary for the
purchaser to make formal agree

A slave owner may give his slave
wife from among his other slaves

children of these marriages become
slaves Of the same owner unless he
has signed he agreement already
mentioned in connection with their
parents.
The prices paid for slaves vary
