.HARDINCSTARTS
HOUSEBOAT TRIP.
President Elect and Party Leave
st. Augustine for Three
Weeks Vacation.
(By Associated Press)

ST AUGUSTINE, Fla Jan. "a
The houseboat Victoria, containing
President elect Harding and party of
friends, left here late this afternoon
on a leisurely fishing cruise down the
Florida coast and at dusk tied up for
the night near Summer Haven, 20
miles to the south.
With his departure from st. Au-
gustine, the president elect said good
bye to his cares and virtually went
into seclusion for two weeks of rest
and recreation. He expects to come
ashore at two or three, points to play
golf, but during most of the trip he
intends to keep out of the public eye
and to forget the national problems
that must be solved before March T.
Mr.. Harding reached st, Augustine
from Marion shortly before noon,
made short call at the hotel which
will be his home for a month after he
returns from tn efishingtrip on Feb.
z, and played round of golf before
going aboard the Victoria, A crowd
applauded him when he alighted from
his train and later a lot of persons
gathered at the pier to cheer him as
the houseboat started on her voyage.
The Victoria belongs to Senator Jo-
seph S. Frelinghuysen Of New Jersey,
whose guest Mr.. Harding will be dur
ing the fishing trip. Others in the ptr-
ty include George b. Christian, Jr.,
the president elects private secre-
tary; Harry M. Daugherty of Column
bus, Senator A. B. Fall of New Mex
leo and Henry p. Fletcher, former am
bassador to Mexico.

cept in case of absolute necessity and
for several years in succession has
never missed a Sunday school service.
He makes a point to be always on
time. something which he considers
necessary for every teacher to be.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick came to Pensacola
a. wears ago from Greenville, Ala,
with his wife whom he had taken as a
bride from Birmingham, when that
Magic City" was in it's infancy. All
during the time of his residence here
he has been associated in the Sunday
school work of the First Methodist
church.
The ultimate aim of Sunday school
work, Mr.. Kirkpatrick says, is to fur
nish material for good church mem
bership. It is the natural desire of a
good Sunday school pupil to wish to
continue larger Christian life in the
church. The Bible, he says, is a Won
derful book with exhaustless material
for study and that the more it is
studied the more fascinating 1t be-
comes.
The best means to keep interest
alive in the Sunday school class, Mr..
kirkpatrick says he has found, Is to
require an individual expression on
the lesson from each member of the
class and to create an absolutely in
formal atmosphere. The class session
may be an interesting discussion of
the lesson subject with every mem
Der of the class taking part. All ar
gument should be eliminated. It is
stimulating to the teacher as well as
to the members OF the class to ex-
change ideas and viewpoints and many
new ideas may be developed in this
way.

steps should be taken promptly after

WEEK IN IRELAND
HAS BEEN BUSY
(sy Associated Press. ,

DUBLIN, Jan. 22.-This has been the
nvehest week in Ireland for long time
The authorities in Dublin Castle had
reported in tn eprevious week a falI in
disorders, but this was more apparent
than real as the figures for the week
before last included trifling attacks on
the mails.
Ihls week was marked by serious am
bushes. On one day eight barracks in
Tipperary were attacked by large bands
which were defeated without serious
casualties. The most fatal event was
the ambush in County Clare, where a
police patrol whose route was known,
was attacked by 90 men, who killed a
district inspector, sergeant and four
constables and wounded two others on
the first vo1ley.
Several ambushes were attempted on
a large scale, the roads being blocked
by stone walls and trees. They in
volved no casualties but their prepara-
tion in the martial law area indicated
that the extremists were not influenced
by the fear of punishment.

WITHOUT INTERFERENCE BY ALLIES
Would Have Greater Powers

WILL ACT IN ARMENIA
Armenian Mediation, However,
Awaits Agreement as to
Russia by Allies.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. PA tpublic
and solemn" agreement among the
great powers not to violate or to per-
NIT the violation of the territorial in
tegrity of Russia is regarded by Pres
ident Wilson as the sine qua non of
an attempt at the pacification of Ar
menia and the other states bordering
on the once great empire. The presi-
dents views are set forth in a note
transmitted to Paul Hymans, presi-
dent of the league of nations assem-
bly,, by Acting Secretary of State Dav-
is under date of Jan. Is and made
public tonight at the state depart
ment.
"The distressful situation" af Ar
menia, which has been invaded by
both the Turkish nationals and the
soviets, is only one detail OF the vast
Russian problem, the president says,
and he most earnestly urges his
conviction that it is only by a general
and comprehensive treatment of the
whole problem, "only by full and gem
erous cooperation of the principal
powers that hopeful approach to the
pacification' and independence of
Armenia can be found.
The president says he has never be-
lieved that the problems raised by
the bolsheviki coup d'etat could be
solved by military action from the out
side and he expresses the hope that
the recent tragical events on the Po-
lish front and in the Crimea have
convinced all the world that armed
invasion is not the way to bring peace
to the people of Russia"
Mr. Wilson adds that these events
have only strengthened his conviction
that the Russian revolution, "benefi-
cent in it's main purposes must be
developed to a satisfactory conclusion
by the Russians themselves with
such held from the outside as may be
voluntarily received"
The note concludes:
cit is obvious to all that these small
struggling border states will not at
tack great Russia unless encouraged
by promise of support from the
stronger powers The president there
fore believes that the sine qua non of
an attempt at pacif1cation must be
public and solemn engagement among
the great powers not to take advan-
tage of Russia's stricken condition
and not to violate the territorial in
tegrity of Russia nor to undertake

(By Associated Press)

FORT MYERS, Fla, Jan. 22-James
and Don DelisIe are under arrest here
charged with smuggling Intoxicating
liquors into this country. Behind their
arrest is a story of attempted booze
running on a large scale, change of
name, flag and registry of a small
schooner which it is alleged by federal
and state officers was being used for
whiskey running, the piling up of this
craft on the shore near Naples (this
country during a storm and the theft
OF nearly a thousand cases of liquor
from the ship while the two Delisles
now under arrest, and a third, their
brother, for whom the officers are
looking. were ashore seeking help to
salvage their cargo and ship.
Changed Vessels Name.
The vessel then known as the Frank
M, of American registry, sailed from
Mobile, Ala, several weeks ago,
touched first at Tampa, then at Key
West, and then went on to Havana,
according to federal and state officers
here. At Havana, it is alleged, the
boats name was changed to Uralia,
and placed under British registry.
One thousand cases of liquor were
taken aboard and the trip back to the
west coast of Florida was begun. Ac-
cording to the federal and state Off
GERS when the Uralia reached point
off the coast, opposite Naples, anchor
was dropped outside the three mile
limit.
Wrecked on Coast.
During, a gale which came up soon
afterward, the Uralia dragged her an
chor and piled up on the beach. The
three Delisles made their way to the
shore and while they were seeking aid
to salvage their boat and cargo un-
known parties went aboard the craft
and stole all but six of the 1000 cases
of liquor. Sheriff Tippins of Lee
county, and Major f. NJ. williams, of
Tampa. the federal agent, arrested the
two Delisles who will have a hearing
before Federal Commissioner Shep-
pard Monday. The officers state that
they have clues in hand which they
believe will lead to the arrest of prom
inent men engaged in a big booze
running conspiracy covering the west
coast region.

Who is the Oldest Sunday school
teacher in Pensacola?
In all probability j. A. Kirkpatrick,
teacher of the Young Mems Baraca
class in the First Methodist church
Sunday school
Mr.. Kirkpatrick has been a Sunday
school teacher for almost forty years.
He has taught for thirty-three years
consecutively and since taking his
first class the only time he has not
been teaching was during a period of
a few years when he was in small
place where there was no Sunday
school.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick is 6S years old and
is as active and enthusiastic in his
Sunday school work as ever. His class
of young men have repeatedly elected
him as their teacher. The class in
terest is keen and the attendance
average is excellent. Last Sunday 81
young men were present.
For the past twelve years Mr.. Kirk
patrick has been teacher of the Baraca
class Before that time he taught
mixed classes of boys and girls in the
teen age and early twenties
Since he has been teacher of the
Baraca class Mr.. kirkpatrick has
placed special emphasis on Mothers
day in the Sunday school The Ba-
raca class generally has an unusually
large attendance on that day and an
individual expression pertaining to the
meeting and observance of the day is
requested from each member of the
class.
Since acting as a teacher in the
Sunday school, Mr. Kirkpatrick has
never been absent from his class ex-

Journal AnsUers Question 0fWhO
Is Oldest Sunday School Teacher
Doing ActiUe Duty in Pensacola

Mr.. Kirkpatrick says that he thinks
that there is a greater field for use-
fulness in the Sunday school than In
the church and that the work with
young people is interesting and OF
vital importance.
A teacher and his class must con-
stantly work for larger membership
and greater attendance and this is es-
pecially true in class of young men
or women whose interests and resi-
dences are often changing. Contests
and social features create feeling
Of good fellowship and common inter-
est and furnish an outlet for the nat
ura1 activity and energies of young
people.
The Baraca class of which Mr..
Kirkpatrick is teacher, during the past
twelve years, has been instrumental
in the organization of several other
Baraca classes. This class also under
took the building of walks for the
new church building and grounds and
raised the necessary funds within a
short time. B. c. Curry, customs in
spector for this port, is president of
the class.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick is known through
out Escambia county as well as in
Pensacola. He has twice been elected
supervisor of registration for the
county which position he holds at the
present time.
He has been in Sunday school work
ever since he has been old enough to
attend. He acknowledges that when
a small boy he was like most boys of
his age-and a great deal OF guidance
was needed to direct him to Sunday
school every Sunday morning.
