THE PRINCE OF PEACE

Nearly two thousand years have witnessed the
struggle of mankind upon this little sphere since
the green hills of Judea were bathed in the SUPER
nal light of star that had never shone on land
or sea and the greatest peace message Of all time
came in music from the lips of the Celestial
singers.
Shepherds listened in rapture and were trans
ported in the happiness of the hour, and in the
fragrance of the early dawn were glad, with a
strange new Joy, as they watched the awakening
OF the .aocks and noted the wonderful bloom of
strange white flowers that had crept through the
green verdure with the splendors of the night.
And not far away the Prince of Peace lay
dreaming of the worlds of light whence He came.
A little later Wise Men came and worshipped Him,
and laid at His feet treasures Of gold and frank
incense and myrrh.
But many have been the enemies of mankind
since that first Christmas morning; they have
shed an ocean Of blood and bathed the world in
sea of tears. These ghtless souls have never
known the power Of peace or caught the message
that shall make men happy until the end Of
time
Peace and Brotherhood are the attributes OF
Christmas. Never in history have sober-minded
men and women celebrated the birth of Jesus of
Nazareth as they will at Christmas time in the
year of our Lord 1921 For an the war lords are
Kings are fallen.
Our own noble American sons, the heroes of
France, the valiant English and Italian lads, with
the martyred soldiers of Belgium, shed their
precious blood at the foot of Golgotha--to make
men free and give the world lasting peace
And from the time that Belgium stemmed that
awful tide that would have engulfed sleeping
world, until the last American gun roared its hot
defiance against wrong, the Child of Christmas
was with the stricken ones and with to give to
right, justice and humanity the final victory
And men will now learn fully the better way
and find the high road of life and beat their
swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks
A momentous hour is at our door. The long
long armies of the dead, that fought against the
Beast are bivouacked in the elysian fields of
peace, where no blood shall stain the crystal
rivers or the fields of asphodel And the blessing
Of Him who bore not the crown of thorns in vain
is upon them all.
Christmas comes with a new meaning, now to
all the world to carry the heart-sick ones, who
mourn their noble dead, to place of hope where
their pain can be assuaged near the wOndrous
One whose name the ages cannot erase or passing
His glory dim.

crucifxion was punishment of Roman pagans,
unknown to Jews, and one historic untruth will
perish from the earth.
Among the Jews a few of the privileged, pow
erfu and dishonest hated Christ, as with us the
most powerful hate any man who defends the poor
and attacks selfish privilege. Those for whom
Christ lived and died loved Him. among the Jews
in His lifetime, and since then throughout the
world Until hatred dies out between nations
individuals, religions and classes, Christ's work
will not be complete
This is a good time to drive prejudice narrow
ness, litteness and bigotry out of your heart, q
good time to take a broad and comprehensive
view of the sublime principle Of the universal
fatherhood Of God and the universal brotherhood
of man.

SCHOOL ELECTION
VOTE Is UNANIMOUS

Despite the fact that the polls
were not opened in the Conway dis
trict until after 8 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, 81 votes were cast at the
annual school election. The poll
would have been much larger had the
voting precinct been open all day, as
large number called to vote before
the polls were opened.
The 81 voters were practically
unanimous. For member of the coun-
ty board of education Prof. A. J.
Meadors received the entire 81, as
did Mrs. S. G. Smith for director of
the Conway district. DR.. |. n. Nc

receiving 90.

12-mill tax. 1t received 80 votes and
there was one for a seven-mill tax

CONGREGATION IS
FOR SCHOOL TAX
METHODIST CHURCH VOTE
Large Audience Unanimously PLEDGES
support to Special Tax Plan for
Public School.

Presenting to his congregation at
yesterday mornings services the pro-
posed plan of sales and luxury taxes
for the financial relief of the Con-
way public schools, Rev. C. NJ. Reeves,
pastor of the First Methodist church,
called upon all who were willing to
accept the plan to rise, and the entire
congregation stood up. Due to mis-
understanding large number of stu
dents failed to rise when the question
was first presented, but after Mr..
Reeves explained to them that they also
would be affected by the proposed sys-
tenn of special taxes and would have
to pay them, the students also voted
in the affirmative.
AS the situation is studied more
closely the sales tax plan is gaining
friends among the people of the dis
trict every day, according to those who
are backing the new proposal. The
financial condition of the school dis
trict is recognized to be a desperate
one, and, while the sales and luxury
taxation idea has its objections, Moth
ing else has been brought forward
as a means of continuing the opera
ton of the school.
The committee of local dealers APP
pointed last week by Mayor w. D.
Cole to work out the details of the
plan has been called by it's chairman
b. 7. Deal, to meet at the Commercial
Club rooms tomorrow (Tuesday)
night at s o'clock, and the schedule will
doubtless be announced shortly after
wards. When completed the plan in
detail will be submitted to the citizens
OF the district at a mass meeting to
be held in the public school auditorium
and if adopted will be put into effect
at once.

KAHN DECLARES
 BERGDOLL MUST
 PAY CRIME PRICE
Washington Displays Spirited Industry In Case of Coward and Stacker, But PitifuI Unconcern In Case of
 Fitzpatrick
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Heral,
 ROO DavidaOn Ruild

Washington, April z. - (SpeciaL)- Representative Julius Kahn, chairman of the House committee on military affairs, is anxious that Grover c. Bergdoll be returned to this country, but. if it be possible, he is more anxi- ous that it be ascertained whether the arch stacker was assisted in his es- cape from military authorities and in making his way out of the United States into Germany.
 MT. Kahn, in conversation with this correspondent. indicated a belief on his part that Bergdoll could have
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-04-08

escaped only as result of a miracle or other powerful assistance But he did not say as much. On the contrary he declined to talk of anything save the importance of developing the truth in the case.
 Twice in the preceding session of Congress MT. Kahn attempted to se- cure an investigation by his commit tee into the Bergdoll scandal. On each attempt he was blocked. Today he made the statement that again he would try. He believes that he will be successful in the end He cannot think it possible that majority of the members of the House are in favor of leaving the mystery unsolved.
 GUARDS CARELESS
 In this connection it may be stated that what is probably a majority of the members of the House believes that no responsible individual con- spired with Bergdoll to the end that he escape. It is thought by this majority that authorities were care less in permitting him to visit Phila- delphia- even under guard, and that authorities were foolish when they be- lieved that he desired to dig up a pot of gold. It is held, also, that the guard was weak and irresponsible when it yielded to temptation encassed in dark bottles But it is not believed that anyone in high authority can be proved in criminal connection with any phase of the Bergdoll incident.
 Samuel Ansell, formerly connected with the war department, but who re- signed and was favored by employ ment at a big wage by the political committees which investigated vari- . ous phases of the Wilson administra- tion. was one of Bergdolrs yattorneys who requested the war department to permit the prisoner to dig up his pot of gold. Ansell has stated that he actually believed Bergdo1l was sincere, and that if given chance to unearth his treasure, he would do so. He was deeply chagrined when Bergdoll proved unfaithful to his promises, and retired from the case.
 KILPATRICK CASE
 An investigation, in some of it's fea- lures. might be embarrassing to Ansell. but it is believed that in order that everything might be cleared up, he would welcome the investigation.
 We must have it, says Kahn. At that, there is wonder in Washington why Congress and the administratio are apparently more determined to capture and punish Bergdoll, a coward and a stacker at best, than to secure the release from the bolshevists of Russia Capt. Emmet Fitzpatrick, an American soldier who, on some trumped-up charge, has been sen tenced to hard labor for 20 years Secretary of War Weeks declared some days ago that he would get his hands on Bergdoll if it be humanly possible. He has made no such de claration regarding Fitzpatrick, or any other of the 50 Americans, held in Moscow.
