First Presbyterian Pastor De-
= tends Stand of Funda-
nentaIists.

EVANSVILLE, Md. Dec. 81
Let not the noise of theological
battle create or increase alarm.
The personality of our Lord has
been spoken against since His first
coming into the world, and will
continue until He comes the second
time for Judgment
1.-THE modernist disputer was
never more persistent, but the dis
ciple had never more encourage
ment. He whom the dissenter seeks
to discrown has said, The kingdoms
OF this world are become the king
doms Of our Lord, and of His
Christ, and He shall reign forever
and forever"
Thus did the Rev. DIR. Joseph M.
Anderson, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church here. in a sermon
yesterday morning, defend the fun
damentals of the Christian faith.
Speaking before a large congrega.
ton yesterday morning in Pinkney
Memorial Protestant Episcopal
Church, the rector, the Rev. Charles
l.. Monroe, said that the publicity
occasioned by statement of two
clergymen of New York city and
the impending trial of another in
Texas has brought the issue Of lib.
eralism before the general church
in way that makes our considera.
ton Of the whole subject not only
timely but imperative.
1.-THE lover of peace is usually a
patient soul and endures many con.
tradictions before he will risk con.
troVersy;'' he said. "The light and
superficial thought that many are
apt to lend to such a discussion is
in danger Of viewing the contro
Versy as another Of those disputes
in which schoolmen Of all ages
have taken delight, and which are
so confusing to the average layman
that he thinks 1t had best be left
to the doctors Of theology.
1--WE warn against this attitude
for while there may be fine points
involved, yet the underlying issues
are very clear to those who value
truth and who seek it. And that
they are not trite differences OF
opinion but fundamental doctrines
upon which God has built His
church we shall endeavor to make
clear"

by the problem of the relations be-

shows also that even this problem

have predicted.
Britain Forging Ahead,
In Great Britain, in spite of all
the propaganda spread through this
country regarding British unem-
ployment, it is now shown by fig
ures available in the offices of the
Federal reserve board that S6 out
Of every 100 British insured work
ing men are at work.
1t is also shown that the activi-
ties of the British merchant marine,
instead of being paralyzed, are at
level 16 per cent above the level
of the year Immediately preceding
the world war.
In France, in the city of Paris,
three years ago there were more
than 10000 French workingmen
who were entitled to receive. and
who were in fact receiving, munich
pal aid because of being out of
work. In October of this year the
number of such worlxingmen in
Paris had sunk to exactly fifty-two.
At the same time the foreign
trade of the United States, instead
of disappearing because of the al
legged world chaos. has been grow
ing steadily. In every month of this
year it was at a far higher level
than in the year. before the world
war broke out.

j. s. PRISONERS
ESCAPE FROM
''PEN''
Four Tunnel Under Wall and
Make Getaway in
Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ga. Dec. 31.-Federal
and State officers today were con-
Quoting a nationwide search for
George Anderson and three fellow
prisoners who late yesterday OBJ
tanned their freedom after the most
sensational Jail delivery on the rec
ords of the Atlanta Federal peni-
Tertiary.
Anderson, buddy of the notori-
Gus Gerald Chapman, who has ef-
rected several escapes and is still
at large, was serving a twenty-five
year sentence for participation in
the million-dollar New York mail
truck hold up, for which Chapman
also was convicted. The other three
fugitives are Hiram Lepper, Ludwig
Schmidt, and Frank Haynes.
Lepper was serving fifteen years
for altering United States obliga-
lions. He figured in another es-
cape some time ago but was re-
captured in Milwaukee. Schmidt
was serving ten years for robbing
the mails and was sentenced in
Rochester, N. Y. Haynes was serv-
ing the last few months of an
eighteen months sentence for coun-
terfeiting after being sentenced in
Chattanooga.
The men excavated a small tun-
mel from the center of tubercular
tent in the prison yard under the
fifty-foot stone wall and to freedom
on the outside.
Although three men leaped from
the Royal Palm passenger train
near Macon, Ga, last night they
escaped before officers could cap
ture them. 1t was generally be-
Iieved that these were three of the
men. Other than this authorities
have no clue as to their where
abouts.

save large sums of money for in
vestment abroad. To the one coun-
try Of Chile, country Of less
than 100000 people, our investors
since the year of 1921 have sent al
most 100000 900 in the purchase of
Chilean securities.
At home our retail department
stores, which are taken by govern
ment statisticians as an important
index to domestic prosperity, are
selling approximately 500 more
goods than they were in 1919.
Our mail-Order houses, which tenn.
porarily suffered a depression be-.
cause of the depression among
farmers, are now beginning to re-
vive. BY October of this year they
were exceeding their 1919 business
by approximately one-third.
In these circumstances it is
thought that world conditions in
general have to be regarded not
with despair but on the contrary
with satisfaction and optimism. 1t
is also thought that the world's
one remaining great trouble
namely, the relations between
France and Germany-should be
approached with a conviction that
its evil results will probably be
only temporary.
Suffering in Germany.
Figures supplied by the Depart
ment of Commerce show indeed that
there can be no doubt that some
20, 100000 people in Germany are
now suffering severely. The two
regions of the world where outright
relief is thought by the Secretary
OF Commerce to be suggested by
present circumstances are the in
dustrial districts of Germany and
the northwestern agricultural dis
trict of the United States.
That certain measures of relief
both for German sufferers and for
sufferers in our Northwest will
presently be undertaken is a pros
pect which every day here becomes
more likely.
It is increasingly believed here
that the problem in our Northwest
and the problem in Germany will
not Yield to any immediate political
measures and that meanwhile 1t
will be necessary to adopt outright
relief measures in both cases in
order to alleviate the intense i'm
mediate suffering among men and
women and children.
French Recovery Rapid.
The improved and improving con.
dition of the rest of the world will
enable 1t to grant relief readily.
France itself, which five years ago
was thought to be crippled for a
generation, has now in its 'devas-
tated region" rebuilt rs per cent of
it's devastated homes and so per
cent of it's devastated factories,
while at the same time 1t has re-
stored to cultivation almost 100 per
cent of it's devastated fields:
These facts about France show
the rapidity with which the world
can recover from blows thought
temporarily to be fatal.
The political part of the Govern.
ment at Washington is often over
whelmed with fear about the world
future. The statistical part of the
Government shows today that Asia
and Africa and Australia and South
America and North America and
most of Europe are emphatically on
the upgrade and the remaining Part
of Europe will have it in its power
to make q similar recovery il once
the problem of repardtionS and of
the Ruhr can be brought to a settle
ment.

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 31.-The
future of the Ku Klux Khan will
be determined at a national con-
clave to be convened in Atlanta
February 10, by Edward Young
Clarke. one of the founders, and a
former Imperial Wizard Of the
khan. 1t was announced here today.
Clarke will issue a proclamation
Thursday night summoning khan Of
ficials from every State of the
Union to the conclave. At this
national meeting, it was said, Clarke
will call upon khan officials to de-
eide whether the organization
should be continued after house
cleaning" or disbanded because OF
lawlessness within its ranks"
Statement By Clarke.
.sI will issue a proclamation for
the national conclave at meeting
OF the Atlanta khan Thursday
night" Clarke said today. Such
q meeting is imperative because OF
the tendency toward lawlessness on
the part of certain elements within
the khan organization. Klansmen
are becoming ln0cOlaIeO WITH inc
idea that some times they are
right in violating the law. If the
kan is to be saved, its conscience
must be shocked and I propose 10
do It. I want to do this too with
~ little violence, bloodshed and
strife as is possible. But I intend
10 do It. I have laid out path
of action and I viii follow it down
she line.
The Khan today is recruiting most
bf its new members from two groups.
One group does not believe in any
law and order and the other believes
Dt has q God-given right to control
courts and judges, legislators and
laws"
Follows Coolidge Letter.
unless these two groups are
Eliminated from the Khan it must
ROW into q serious menace to all
american Institutions. To change
khis course I will issue a prociama-
eton summoning Klansmen here for
y national conclave at which the
guture Of the Khan viii be deter
mined. ?
Clarke's announcement today fol-
lows up his letter last week to
President Coolidge in which he Of
tered to assist the Federal Govern
ment in any investigation of the
Ku Kux Khan and charged that
the organization was being used for
political purposes and as a law-and-
order league
