Improvement of ones spiritual self

hended: but this one thing l do, for
hind. and reaching forth unto those
things which are before. 1 press to-
ward the mark for the prize of the
high calling Of God in Christ Jesus.
Referring to the force Of habit and
environment, he said: ut takes a
ment," but he asserted that the state
ment that a man can be no bigger
than environment does not hold good.
He then told of great reformers
whs he w,s SAID hase sne New Year
contemplate going ahead with every
thing-the upbuilding of character
in the name Of Him, the greatest op-
timist, who on the cross said: Father.
forgive them. for they know not wha'
He urged that every one
they do He urged that every one
strive for the supreme spiritual oet,
terment and to become, better ano
holier men and woman.
Referring briefly to the building OF
the Washington Cathedral. he said
1--WE have made a start here In WASH

erection of the Washington Cathe-
dral-left to our care" and he ex-
pressed determination to carry the
building to completion. Never before
has there been such an outpouring OF
interest in a single project" he said
with this latter statement he re-
ferred to the interest shown by those
who have donated toward the pro-
ject and otherwise taken interest In
1t.
In conclusion, he urged that every
one enter the New Year forgetting
the unpleasant things OF the past
and to remember that "our greatness
consists not In what We have, but II
what we are. We should live aS

sunshine" he said.

that "cutting" was practice fol-
lowed by most of the rum ships.
Maze of Watts and Piping.
The second ship. the correspondent
said, was a schooner, the captain of
which was engaged in manufacturing
his own liquor. In the after hold OF
the vessel he found a maze of watts and
piping, the equipment for six stills which
were in full operation. The captain, a
man called "Sim," told him that usually
the six were not in operation but that
the holiday trade made 1t necessary to
work all of them.
In the forward hold the correspondent
found n small room equipped with a
hand press on which labels were being
printed for new stock. Capt. Sim
explained that it was easy to copy the
genuine labels and anyhow, people
don't care what the label says; they
want the kick
Capt Sim" also demonstrated the
method Of making lead foil seals for
new bottles and explained that his ship
supplied the entire rum fleet with seals
and labels at a small price. 1t was too
great risk to manufa cture these neces-

State and War Department officials
continued their consultations today
over details of the plan to sell a
quantity or war materials to the OBJ
regon government of Mexico.
Secretary Hughes discussed the sub
ject at length with Secretary Weeks.
who said afterward that several
points remained to be settled before
the War Department orders Maj. Gen.
Edward NJ. Lewis, commanding the
Sth Army Corps area, to turn over
the purchased property to Obregon
representatives at San Antonio.
The exact quantity of material to
be sold has not been revealed, but 1t
ammunition and airplanes. In con-
nection with an assertion by repre-
sentatives of the de la Huerta faction
in Mexico that the Obregon govern
ment also asked for some light
cruisers, attention was called today
to the following provision in the
Washington naval treaty:
Each of the contracting powers
undertakes not to dispose by gift,
sale or any mode of transfer of any
vessel of war in such manner that
war in the navy of any foreign
power"
The question of payment for the
war material still is to be work ed
out through the Secretary of War
and ii was made plain today that
only the question of general policy
was considered by the State Depart
ment in connection with the trans
action.
