AT THE ARGONAUT NINE, jack
son, Calf, Sept 19.-Jackson mourhed
its dead today.
The little city brought three weeks
of hopeful waiting to an end last nlght
and this morning was plunged deeper
and deeper into gloom as the reailza-

BRITISH NOT BLUFFING
BY LLOYD ALLEN
Unified Press ,LeaSed Wire

LONDON, Sept. 19.-The British
government is determined to go
through with its program of defend
ing the Dardanelles neutral zone
against the Turks and is not ''bluff-
ing when it says every resource of
the empire will be pitted against the
Kemalists.
This was made plain today in com
munique issued from Downing street
during the meeting of the cabinet,
while word was coming in that France
and Italy won't fight.
Officials of the foreign office re-
fused to confirm or discuss the al
legged note from Kemal, the unofficial
version of which is that Kemal stated
he will not enter the Dardanelles zone
occupied by the allies, although claim
ing the right to occupy any territory
occupied by the Greeks.
Meeting insinuations in the press
that the government is merely rat
Ting the sabre,' today's communique
announced that Saturdays statement
of policy-in which the dominions were
called on to help defend the neutral
zone-is actually official, representing
the cabinets views and designed to
leave the empire in no doubt as to the
government s aims.
In addition to the ministry, the meet
ing was attended by the Earl of CavGh
chief of the general staff; the Lore
of the admiralty, Lord Beatty, anC

COURT IN ELECTION PROBE
Very Early In The
Morning They Came
To The Sepulcher
By RUTH FINNEY
United Press Leased Wire

AT THE ARGONAUT MINE, JACK
son, Calf, Sept. 10 Now upon the
first day of the week, very early III the
morning, they came unto the sepulchre.
"And they found tile stone rolled
away from the sepulchre.
"And they entered in and found
not the body of the Lord Jesus.
"And it came to pass-behold two
men stood by them in shining garments
and they said unto them:
"He is not here but is risen.'
Very early in the morning women OF
Jackson came to the shaft of the Ken
nedy mine where their men were buried
And thew found the stone cleared
away from the shaft !
And they waited while men entered
the shaft. but found not their husbands
and their brothers.
And as they stood in grief and de-
spair, the women-some of them-heard
again that message:
"They are not here but are risen.
The long battle was losing one.
The fight was in vain. No living man
was found in the shaft of the Argonaui
mine when the rescue crews broke
through.
The bodies were there-but that was
all.
81 am the resurrection and the life. He
that believeth i'll me, though he were
dead, shall he live. -
Defeat for the men and women on
the surface. Victory for the men, who,
though they were dead, yet shall live.
For those men, no agonizing days and
nights of blackness, buried alive in the
mine shaft, helpless and waiting for
help. No endless hours of despair, of
madness.
No battle with hunger, thirst, foul
disease.
For through the long days of waiting
they were not there.
Bodies only, that felt not, insensiblc
flesh, dust returning to dust.
No escape for the bodies.
For the men there was escape. There
was a way out.
81 am the Way, the Truth and the
Life.

mansions. Where l am there ye may
be also.
Comfort, divine comfort for them who
