BALTIMORE. October 20. That
capital punishment for murder Is not

Rudolph S. Ressmeyer. pastor of the
Emmanuel English Evangelical Lu-
theran Church. In a sermon on "Mur-
der"
Murder Is a horrible crime and a
grave sin." Mr.. Ressmeyer said. In
ctvilized countries and Christian COM
munities human life Is held in much
higher regard than In heather lands.
where family feuds and the sacrifice
ing of children are common practices.
Cold-blooded murder is a sin. We
tons of murder here In our own city
in the last year. Capital punishment
for murder Is not contrary to Scrip
lures"
Quoting from the Bible. Mr.. Ress-
meyer said: "'Who SO sheddeth mans
blood. by man shall his blood be shed !:
for In the image of God made He
Speaking of another form Of mur-
der. Mr.. Ressmeyer said: Careless,
! reckless driving of automobiles
through congested parts Of the city
is taking human life In ones own
hands and frequently results in mur-
der. The heather sacrifice their In
, fants to idols. The modern wife
sometimes sacrifices her unborn in

ease. II parents would not look upon
i children as evils and burdens. but as
blessings and precious gifts of God.
there would be fewer bloody hands in
America and in the world today"

.RIVER-RARBOR
APPROPRIATIONS

Unless the friends of waterways
follow the suggestion of Hon. John d.
Small, president of the National NV
ers and Harbors Congress, ana take
the matter up Immediately and Vlgor-
ously. with their senator's and repre-
sentatives, the appropriation Tor the
maintenance and the improvement or
rivers and harbors during the coming
isca, year will be grossly inadequate.
The amount actually expended for
this purpose during the past nscal
year was S41,237, 607.98, and the
amount expended during the present
fiscal year will be greater still. me
original estimates of the army engi-
neers for the next fiscal year called
for SG2 100000, but under orders to
"cut to the bone" this was reduced TO
S42S15,G61. The budget bureau arbl-
trarily cut this amount to S27,Soo, 2oO,
and this, plus $4,000 for surveys,
making a total Of S27,960,260, is the
amount carried in the bill making ap-
preparations for the War Department
which has just been submitted by the
House Committee en- appropriations.
Eliminating all known Implications,
the water-borne commerce OF the Unit
ed States for the calendar year 1921
amounted to 369, 369,026 tons, having
a value of $40, 0,496, 495. In addl-
ton to this there were transported
2S6,19S,691 passengers.
The amount recommended by the
army engineers for the coming fiscal
year can certainly not be called ex-
travagant, for it i sequivalent to only
l1.6 cents per ton, and little less
than 20 mills per dollar of value Of
the commerce carried in 1920. The
amount carried in the army approprl-
alton bill is equivalent to little less
than 76 cents per ton and to only
Ia mills per dollar of the value of the
1920 commerce, or in other words, to
less than one-seventh of l per cent.
An appropriation OF less than SIS,
100000, where the engineers say SAB,
100000 is the least amount required,
means first, that work on all the rivers
and harbors in the United States must
be skimped and slowed down-unless
some OF them are taken care Of and
others totally ncglected-and second,
that not stroke Of work can be done
on new projects, many Of which have
been waiting for Years and some OF
which are urgently needed
The bill introduced in the House on
March by the committee on rivers
and harbors adopts % new projects
and authorizes the modification Of five
others.
Any action taken must be immedi-
ate to have any result There seems
small probability that any increase in
the amount named by the committee
on appropriations will be made in the
House. Requests that they vote and
work for an increase should therefore
be addressed to members of Senate.
and these should b followed up with
letters and kilograms to representa-
tives in the House, so that any in
crease made by the Senate will be sus-
tanned by the House conferecs.

CENTENARY OF MISSIONS

Nashville, Tennessee. NOT
all Of the $37 100000 pledged by
Southern Methodists to the Centen-
arv Of Missions movement enter
prised by that denomination, IS BENG
expended in foreign lands to the neg
lect Of needy Gauss in America.
Figures from the home mission de-,
partment. of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South, of which Dr.. r. l..
Russell, of Nashville, Tenn, is head,
show that since the beginning OF the
Centenary movement tire, years ago
more than $1,8O0,00O has been given
to missionary work in the United
States, including the following lines
of effort; $4,000 yearly to ten
mountain schools in the Appalachian
section; 100000 a year to Negro
schools under control of the Colored
Methodist Church; work for forelg-
ncrs in this country, including Gu
bans. italians, Bohcmians, MeNicans;
and Oricntals: work among the coal
miners and cotton mill workers;
churches and schools for the Indians
of Oklahoma and Idaho: $4,000
yearly il the work OF Christian lit
erature; settlement work, cvangells-
tic and city mission work, in 4S cities
and community work in many rural
communities.
1t is said that ten per cent of all
the Centenary money paid in by
local conference is returned to that
conference to help needy charges and
open new missionary work in the
homeland. A Centenary collections
movement is nov in progress through
out the bounds of Southern Metho-
dsm ir an effort to bring up all ar
rearagcs before the meeting of the
general conference in May. March
26 has been adopted by that denomi-
nation as "World Sunday" when
Centenary claims will be presented
to every church in the connection.

OUR SOLDIER DEAD

The last large shipment of remains
Of soldier dead, returned for burial
under the Stars and Stripes, will be
completed when the Army Transport
Cambria reaches New York about
March SO, with 1924 flag draped cas-
kets, With the arrival Of the Cambria
the reverent task of the Quartermas-
ter Corps of the Army Of bringing
home the bodies of those who tell IN
France, will be practically finished.
Plans are already underway for ap-
propriatee services and ceremonies at
the dock. to pay final tribute TO those
who made the supreme sacrifice.
After the Cambria lands her prec-
ious freight, approximately only 323
bodies will remain abroad to be
brought - the United States for bu-
rial. Up TO March the Graves Reg
istration Service of the Quartermas-
ter Corps had returned to this coun-
try the remains of 44,4lS of those
Americans who died on foreign soil.
So perfect have been all arrange
ments incident to last journey, that
many commndatory letters from
relatives and friends of those return
ed for burial, have been received by
the Quartermaster Generals Office.
Every effort has been made to accord
the soldier dead the most reverent
care, from the time of disinterment to
the time the casket reaches its final
resting place. Recently Major Cen
eral H l.. Rogers, Quartermaster
Gneral, made a social trip to France
to inspect the activities of the Amer
lean Graves Registration Service.
and on his return expressed himself
as fully satisfied with every detail
of the work
Concentration of bodies in Amer
lean cemeteries abroad will be con-
tinued, as about $4,000 of those who
died overseas are not to be returned
for burial here, according to the de-
sire Of their next of kin. The policy
of tho government is to remove the
soldier dead from battlefield burial
grounds, and to RENTER them in per-
manent cemeteries which will be cared
for by the Unitd States, as are ma
tional cemeteries in this country.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-03-18

that no useful purpose would be
served in the continuation of this
extensive preserve for the reason that
so far as white settlers are concerned
the region is remote and of TOO
marshy character to be desirable
for settlement and this fact protects
the birds to great extent although
many are taken annually BY the res
ident Eskimos for food purposes. Tha
reservation comprised Approximately
100000 acres, and with the limited
funds at the disposal of the Depart
ment it was impossible adequately
to administer it. The tundras of this
vast area are inhabited chiefly bv
Eskimos, and the department has
found it necessary to permit these
natives to take the game birds found
upon the reservation for food pur-
poses, as they have always been
obligd to rely upon them as one of
the major clements in their food
supply. For these reasons the Bio
logical Survey recommended that the
reservation as such be dropped and
the area be restored to the public
domain.
