SMOKE THEM OUT

Shall America have merchant mar
inc worthy of the name, or shall we
allow our thousands of valuable ships
to rot at their docks or be sold for
junk?
A great American merchant marine
would mean a tremendous increase in
the prosperity of this country, and just
now we would not be adverse to even n
slight increase.
Washington has preciptated tidal
wave of indignation by exposing what
is alleged to be a gigantic plot of Bri-
fish shipping interests to wreck Presi-
dent Harding's ship subsidy bill and
thereby keep American merchant YES
sells off the seas.
The British ambas sador empha tic
ally denies that he or his staff are in
any way engaged in such plot, and he
probably speaks the truth. He would
hardly court the fate of another am
bassador who meddled in our affairs
and was promptly sent home.
But it is quite possible that there is
such a plot in existence, although of
ficial Britain may not be taking a
hand
No one but a traitor to this country
would accept pay from foreign nation
or people for wrecking bill that is
designed to create merchant marine

every form Of the darker side Of hui
man life."
The address to the serpent refers to
two seeds. Certainly there is some
thing deeper here than the enmity
which exists between men and snakes.
The seed of the serpent must mean
the generations of evil men, culminat-
ing In the Antichrist Matt. % :93n !
Jno. 3:1O). The seed Of the woman
must mean the righteous, especially
Christ (Gal. 3:16; A; Heb. PA; l
Jno. 3-S). From the beginning there has
been enmity between these two seeds
Il Jno. 3:12). 1t has been we'll said.
regarding our text, that 1--WE have here
the sum Of the whole matter, and the
rest Of the Bible does but explain the
nature of this struggle, the persons
who wage it, and the manner and con-
sequences Of the victory"
Again, In this verse, written In the
first pages of the Bible, there are set
before us both the first and second adj
vents of our Lord. The serpent Is
told he will bruise the heel Of the
woman's seed We are made to think
at once of the sufferings Of Him who
was truly the woman's Seed, when He
was wounded unto death on Calvary.
We rejoice, however that this bruis-
ing was not final, for the heel Is the
lower part and not vital!
But we rejoice even more because OF
another bruising which Is mentioned,
when the Seed of the woman shall
bruise the serpent's head. True, Christ
anticipated His final victory when He
overcame the Adversary In the wilder
ness and at His resurrection (Col.
2:15). But His victory Is not yet COM
plete, and will not be until the dawn
of the happy millennial day, when Sa-
tan will be bound for thousand years,
to Ire finally cast into the lake of fire.
Notice. that while 1t was Christ's heel
which was wounded, 1t Is Satan's head
which is to be bruised, and the head Is
the vital part!

GOD-FEARING PEOPLE

We Americans consider ourselves a
God fearing people, and the world so
considers us-and perhaps we are.
But how much does the average man
know of God and His ways? Test your
self by answering these questions and
then cogitate upon how little you really
know: How did God create the world ?
How many years did Adam live, and
bod did he die? Why did God make
the skins of some people white and
some red, and others brown, or yellow,
or black? Why does God permit some
children to be born in deformity, or
imbecility, or both? What were the
first and last miracles in the life Of
Christ? What is the first word in the
old testament? What is the last word
in the new testament? How many
times have you read either one from
cover to cover? What period of time
is covered in the old testament? What
period is covered in the new testament?
What is an act of God? When did you
last attend church? How long has it
been since you opened the Bible in
your home? How thick was the dust?

MESSAGE FROM COLLINS TO
IRISH PRovSAIoNAL GOVT

Washington, May 5.-A message from
Michael Collins, chairman of the Irish
provisional government, calling upon
friends of ireland to take no part in
assisting or encouraging that element in
our midst whose object is to destroy the
inherent rights of the sovereign people,
was made public here today by the Irish
Diplomatic Mission" The message, ad-
dressed to "Kinsmen and friends of Ire
land throughout the world" said that
every free people whom. the world today
respects, has had to fight to guard their
liberties and that Ireland will not be
one whit less jealous" in guarding and
protecting them.
.'AH we ask" continued the message
from Collins, "is that our friends over
seas will not allow themselves to be in
dueed by any agents of the anti-demo-
cratic elements in this country to as
sist in the work of undermining these
fundamental rights.
"Civil war among our people which
these anti-democratic elements are shap-
ing for must, if it happens. react terri
bly, against our kinsrnen abroad. It is
bound to lower their statutes and do
them incalculable harm In many direc-
tons It is also bound to strike a
mortal blow at Ireland's prestige as a
cunt of universal culture and as a
moulder of national policy.

HENRY p. DAWSON is TO
UNDERGO OPERATION TO-DAY

New York, May 5.-Henry P. Dawson,
one of the senior partners of ]. P. Morgan
and company, will be operated upon a!
noon tomorrow for the removal of a
tumor on the auditory nerve, near the
brain.
The oepration will take place at Mr..
Davison's country residence, Peacock
Point, near Glencove, L. l.
Friends and business associates Of Mr..
Dawson, while pointing out that any
operation near the brain is necessarily
serious and dangerous" have faith in
its successful outcome No fears are
entertained by Mr. Dawson himself. who
is in excellent spirits and reported by his
partners as having been out motoring
within the past few days. His general
health is said to be good and his mind
keen.
Mr.. Dawson was first operated on for
'intra-craniap pressure on August, 12if
last in Roosevelt hospital The tumor was
discovered at that time, but It's remova
then was not attempted because 1t wa:
felt that he could no withstand the ad
ditiona1 loss of blood and further
anaesthetic treatment, which would b.
required.
The first operation was decided up
on after Mr.. Dawson had ccmplaine.
about headaches and insomnia and thei
source was traced oan affection of th
asid4-ory NERVE. aWhi1e .the operation
was not successful. 1t it was felt that tn
pressure on the brain had been appre
| ciably lightened and that Mr. Davisc,
would be considerably relieved.

of the nomination of Nat Goldstein as
internal revenue collector at st. Louis
because of his receipt of $4,000 during
the last republican national convention
from the campaign funds of Governor

senate upon the Goldstein and other ad-
ministration appointments by Senator

While the senate discussion was in
progress, it was said at the White House
that President Harding neither boasted
of nor apoligized for his nominations.
This was the only comment Forthcoming
from the White House on the case.
Senate republican leaders said private
ly today that the president would be urg-
ed to withdraw Mr.. Goldstein's nomina-
ton. The opposition among the republi-
cans was said to be spreading, senators,
high in the party councils and close to

SENATE DEBATES CHARGES
FORMER RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR

Washington May 5.-Charges made in
the senate against Boris Bakhmeteff, the
last accredited ambassador to the United
States from Russia, promised tonight to
develop an interesting debate in official
circles over the attitude of the American
government toward the Russian people
and the unpaid Russian debt to this coun-
try
State department officials refused to
make any. comment, although it was in
dicated that some statement of policy
might result later from the speech yes
terday Ky Senator Borah challenging the
status of NJ Bakhmeteff and charging
that some Of the money loaned to the
Kerensly government through him had
been used for investments in this coun-
try.
On previous occasions administration
officials have indicated that the records
of the American government showed
nothing to substantiate the charge that
any Of the loan had been misused They
have showed no disposition to make a
formal investigation but it is known that
they are taking steps % inform them
selves fully.
State department spokesmen likewise
are silent regarding Senator Borah's 8
declaration that NJ. Bakhmeteff cannot
properly remain the accredited ambassa-
dor of a regime that collapsed five years
ago.
Any statement of the department, it is
believed probably would take the ground
that only a properly accredlteaS Sambassa-
dor could, under diplomatic usc = =. give
proper attention to Russian nationals in
this country. and that since the soviet
government has not been recognized. NJ
Bakhmeteff remains the only person to
whom a diplomatic status could properly
be accorded
In the same way the administration
officials are said to take tn eposition that
Russia's debt to the United States is a
continuing obligation Of the Russian peo-
pie, without re~ard to the political com,
| plexion Of their government, and thai
some advantage, at least. can be gained
by retaining a medium of Official liaisor
between this government and its Russian
creditors

today that on several occasions since th.
