ment there is fund Of 100000,

pie to obtain an education fitting
them for Christian service.

space, teaching force, equipment and
endowment that will enable the edu-
cational institutions Of the church to
enroll $4,000 young people each

There are seven educational insti-
tutions in South Carolina which will

ONE MILLION DRUG ADDICTs
III tho United States, According to
Government Figures.

a dispatch from Washington says:
The most dangerous agent OF vice
and crime in America to-day Is tho
illicit drug bootlegger. say the Fed
eral authorities.
operating through highly organ
tzed syndicates and supplied by in
ternational smugglers, the done ned
dler has in this country more than
million clients.
l.. q. Mutt, director OF tho Federal
narcotic field force, says thousands
or addicts are young men and young
women. lc declares there has been
a great increase in the number OF
girls OF respectable families who
have been lured into drug rings"
Toledo. Ohio, is said by govern
ment operatives for the narcotic
field force to be tho chief distribute
ing point in the United States, and
from there the underground chan
ncls ramify to other cities as far
away as the Pacific coast and tho
gulf.
The big volume Of opium and CO.
caine enters the United States at the
port OF New York, Is there safe
guarded by counterfeit labels, and
routed through Canada and again
enters the country through Toronto.
One dope syndicate in that city Is
known to be financed to the extent
Of 100000 and has $150,O00 al
ways available for defense Of ar
rested hirelings. though none of the
principals have ever been appre-
hended.
The chief source Of supply is said
to be certain English interests.
Legitimate importations of opium
IN 1917 ran to S6,S12 pounds. and IN
1920 jumped to 62S,971 pounds. ac-
cording to the governments monthly
summary Of commerce. Thus far in
1871 there Is considerable drop.
Available statistics show about an
equal number Of men and women
addicts throughout the country.
The class Of addicts which consti-
tute public menace through crime
or degenecracy are almost wholly
supplied through Illicit chanuels.
All drug users are not to be
Jumped In one class, the authorities
state. Many, they point out, are such
because Of protracted medication
with opiates. Generally, 1t Is main
tanned, cases Of medical origin in
the opiate division reman on practi-
cally the same moral and mental
level as they were before, particu-
larly when the dosage is small.
The Harrison narcotic act recog-
nizes these distinctions In the cause
and nature Of addiction, but does not
concede the use of drugs merely to
relieve the cravings Of the confirmed
user not otherwise diseased.
The law is rapidly tightening I'D
sources OF hitherto legitimate sup
ply, and thousands Of habitues CON
fronted with the situation have
elected to get their supply from un-
derworld sources at exorbitant
prices.

PAPERS
 PLEASED WITH
 HARDING
lRepublicap A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, ApI4l 3. - French official circles are well pleased over the American governments declaration concerning Germany's war responsi- bility. Such a declaration was an ticipated. but the French feel that the American view could not have been more clearly expressed.
 The French government also is highly satisfied over the reception given NJ. Viviani in the United States.
 The Petit Parisfen, in commenting on the American statement declares:
 ~The United States gives us strong proof~of it's good wili.''
 The Temps says:
 "The American reply does not sur prise us, but it pleases us deeply. We hope the voice or the United States will find other occasions to make itself heard in settling war questions"
 One cannot overestimate the inn portance of this declaration says the Journal des Debats, it strikes the deadening blow to the hopes and propaganda of Germany in the United States"
 The new American government shows an excellent disposition toward us. It is marvellous to see how Ger many never ceases being mistaken about Americans" declares La Li- berte.

 SALT LAKE CITY, April e. "Any man, woman or child, who claims that he, she or any other person on earth except Heber J. Grant, has received a revelation regarding the actions of others than himself and family is either a plain liar or has been deceived by the powers of evil, and to heed the doctrines of such person is a sure road to he'll" said Heber J. Grant. president of the Mormon church at the semi annual con- ference of the Deseret Sunday school at the tabernacle tonight.
 "There are certain persons among us," President Grant con tinued, wh are declaring that they have been instructed by the lord to perform plural marriages. There are no plural marriages in the church and any person who attempts to teach other than the prevailing system of one wife for one man, is sanctionins the pra- ctice of adultry and any who en- ter such marriages are guilty Of aduItry in the face of God. Now l guess you understand fhat."
 Recently the Mormon church ex- communicated and his-fellow- shipped several members of the church who had joined a cult which practiced "wife sacrifice" justified by a "revelation" which has come to Moses s. Gudmund- son, "prophet" and leader of the colony.

TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 CHICAGO, April 3.-The dream of Everett A. Harding of relationship to the president was shattered today. While the selfstyled cousin ef President Harding and his ''confi- dential secretary spent the day in jail, in default of $5,0O0 bail on a charge of impersonating a govern ment official, secret service agents were gathering up the loose ends of the young mans schemes to capital ize pretended relationship.
 They learned that months before the Republican convention here young Harding injected himself into the presidential primary campaign in be- half of cousin Warren" represent ing himself as Senator Harding s campaign manager. The headquarters had no knowledge of his activities.
 Previously he had been active in support of General Wood and Gov ernor LoWden.
 Everetts victims, the secret ser vice men said, included hundreds of prominent Republicans and business men who invested money in what | Everett termed Harding enterprises l in which Cousin Warren" was per- sonally interested.
 | Promises of preference were fre- 1 quently the bases.

 DEFENSE COUNCILS
rRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK. April S.-Representa- tives of 175,000 organized railway employees in special session today called on the executive heads of the recognized national and international railroad unions to sanction the form ation of district "offensive and de- fensive" alliances-railroads' best councils-in the New York district and at other strategic points"
 These district organizations are necessary, it was stated in a letter sent to the officials of the unions to ''enable railroad employees to better resist the concentrated attacks of the railroad executive association" and to bring about a closer utilization of all railway employees and perfect a 100 per cent organization in all crafts."
 Delegates to the convention urged that "a state of status quo should be declared by the American Fedora ton of Labor, so as to clear what is commonly known as transportation brotherhoods to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor"
 Formation of the district councils was declared to be imperative at this moment of concentrated opposi- tion on the part of those who divide the railroad employees to destroy their economic organizations"
 Besides promoting closer af0liation between the unions. 1t was explained that these councils would "dissem mate such knowledge to our mem bership and information to the pub- 1 lie, consistent with the policies of the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor as will give a clear understanding of our purposes"
