RELEASE IF SPY CAUSES A FURRY
German Prisoner Pardoned But Secretary Weeks Has
 To Explain To President

WASHINGToN, Nov. 2o.-Orders for the release of Lothar Wizke. the only German spy convicted in the United States during the World war, caused considerable official commo tion today in Washington, but the orders will stand as issued two weeks ago by Secretary Weeks, and Wizke will be liberated tomorrow from Leavenworth prison. The former spy, however, will leave the country i'm mediately, in accordance with prom ise made the United States by Am bassador Wiedefeldt of Germany.
 The commotion grew out of a seeming conflict of Jurisdiction and brought about telephone calls from the White House to two government departments and a hurried confer ence between President Coolidge and Secretary Weeks. Explanations were made and finally all was strengthened out.
 President In Ignorance.
 Announcement was made at the war department early in the day that President Coolidge had ordered Wizke released inasmuch as all of the other nations associated in the late war had released their prisoners of war and as Ambassador Weidefeldt had guaranteed that the prisoner would leave the country at once. When the matter was brought up later at the semi-weekly White House press con- ference, a spokesman for the Presi- dent said the chief executive had is- sued no orders in the case; in fact, knew nothing of it, and moreover would be little inclined to exercise clemency unless upon extremely good grounds.
 No sooner was the press confer ence ended than the White House in- stltuted inquiry at the department of justice as to the records in the case. Search of the records showed that the Wizke case was war de- partment matter and calls immedi ately were made there, but it was lunch time and no one acquainted with the matter could be found.
 Secretary Weeks hurried over to the White House as soon as he re- turned from lunch. and, in answer to are Presidents inquiries as to how and why Wizke was being freed, eX- plained that the former spy had been sentenced originally to death, but his sentence had been commuted by President Wilson to life imprison- ment and a life prisoner could be. re- leased by order of the Secretary of War.
 Mir. Coolidge expressed satisfaction with the explanation, but evidently that he desired the war secretary to make sure of his ground for Mir Weeks, on returning to the war department, conferred with Major w. A Bethel, judge advocate of the army. After this conference, Mir Weeks announced that the orders for Wizke's release would stand and the furry was ended

Most of us have eyes that faults in others but

There are passing failures in this old world that in the
light of time lift up permanent triumphs That which
seems to be fault today may blossom into an abiding

YOUR CHRISTIAN DUTY

When the soul becomes thoroughly
awakened, it cries out in deep an
guish, what shall do to be
saved?" 4
The great work of the Church is
to awaken the sleeping souls Of lost
men. The life filed with the Holy
Spirit should testify in season and
out of season that Jesus Christ died
to save men.
Every Christian should carry on
his person a copy Of the New Testa-
ment, and whenever and wherever
the opportunity is offered he
should give a copy Of that Bible to
some lost soul and should urge him
to read 1T.
BY personal evangelism. Each
Christian should do hand-picked
piece of work. Let each Christian
find his man, present Christ to him.
pray with him and lead him to see
Christ as his personal savior.
Personal evangelism Is needed
more today than in any period of the
worlds history. If each Christian
could be made conscious Of the fact
that it is his responsibility to
awaken some sleeping soul, the
work would be speedily done. It
would not take long to evangelize
the world If each Christian would
hand-pick his man each day.
Suppose each Christian did the
work of awakening some one each
week, it would not take long to
evangelize the world. Each Chris
tian could bring four men to Christ
each month afty-two each year.
The whole world, if they could be
reached, could by that method be
evangelical in one years time.
There are sixty three million peo-
pie in America who are lost and
whose souls need to be awakened.
They need to be shown the awful
ness Of sin, the horribleness of hell.
Church members are asleep, lazy,
indolent, and because Of their lazi-
ness they will. be held responsible
for people who are going to he'll
every day.
)Oh, listen to the agony OF the
awakened soul. ''What shall ] do
to be saved?" Hasten to his side,
answer his question. and lead him
to Christ

Among the commoneSt classification of common faults
are cruelty constant naggng fautfnding and selfish
ness. These make disagreeabe men and dsagreeable
men make dsagreeable world.
Life what you make it and you make is as you think
it.
The first symptom of fault infection is to be

Cheerfuness, ambition sincerity, and brothery feeling
are the best medicines-and surest cures
One fault never justfes another. Some faults in

The foolish mans fault is the wise mans lesson. The

Nothing is worth being named fault except that

She'll tell you
Dear Mabel.
If | should drop my glove in the
street and strange gentleman should
pick it up for me, what should do and
say? On the other hand, if strange
gentleman should save me from being
killed by speeding automobile, how
should | conduct myself?
Timid
Dear Timid:
In the first case simple girlish
smile is all that is necessary. You
could say, Oh, sir, if you think best.
Try, of course, to convey the idea that
the gloves are your own, and not the
ones you borrowed from your room
mate. But if, on the other hand, as
you so aptly put it, strange gentle
man drags you out from under the
very hoofs of a maddened automobile,
first glance into the mirror at the back
of your vanity case to assure your
self that your complexion is on
straight, and then smile pleasantly
and say-right there in the middle OF
the traffic May l have the pleasure
Of knowing to whom | am indebted?
Don't forget the whom-its so class.
This speech is recommended to
every one, because one never knows
when one may be called upon to speak
extemporaneously like, and its so en-
barrassing to get gummed up in ones
lines on such an occasion.
