TAKE GOVERNMENT MINES.

Essen, Germany, Mar. 3l.-Govern-
ment-owned coal mines at Emsche-
lippe in the Gelkenkirchen district
were occupied today by French engi-
neers, escorted by detachment of
troops with tanks. This is the ninth
mine in the Ruhr taken over by the
French and Belgians. Thirty thou
sand tons of coke and great piles Of
coal were seized.
The French engineers found that
the Germans in expectation Of the
occupation, had taken away part Of
the machinery. The German mine di-
rector was ordered to have these re-
turned. He disclaimed any knowledge
of the disappearance, insisting they
must have been taken by the work
men. He was arrested.
Several thousand miners employed
at this plant went on strike immedi-
ately when the troops appeared.

IRISH DEPORTEES SEEN
 AS VICTORS IN ACTION
Release of Art O'Brien May Mean That Others in Similar Predica-
 ment Will Be Freed.

By The Associated Press.
 London. May 9.--The court of ap. peals today granted the application for a writ of habeas corpus made on behalf of Art O'Brien who was de- ported to Ireland following the Irish raids carried out In March.
 On two previous occasions the low CT courts had refused to grant such a writ, which was applied for in an effort to bring O'Brien to England to test the validity of the recent deportations. O'Brien's counsel held that the British home secretary had no power to order such a transfer, inasmuch as it had the effect of sending O'Brien out of this country.
 Counsel also contended that the secretary was without power to send the applicant to Ireland and that the order was in bad form as 1t did not state the place where the deportee was to be interned.
 It is held in republican quarters that the success of O'Brien's applica- tion must lead to the release of aT. the March deportees now in Ireland

Hartford Minister Speaks of Decline of Old. Fashion ed Religion at Red Army Banquet.

The fundamentalist theory that the Bible must he taken according to its orthodox interpretation will not hold water in the light of modern selentir fie investigation, according ta Rev, Dr, J, Newton I.aekey, of Hartford, who addresses one of the most sue eessful hananets held by any section of Everyman's Bible class when the Red Army celebrated it's annual "i.adies' Night" last evening,
 Dr, l.aekey spoke on "fundamen' talism versus Evolution" and took as his general theme the present unrest in ths religious world, He said since the time Of Luther there has not heen such period of unrest as that through which We are passing just at the present time. It is as though it were period between and old and a new dispensation. Some fear that the foundations of the Christian faith are being undermined, Others think its foundations are only made more firm and impregnable.
 "The marvels Of modern develop ment have made it necessary to think out the principles Of our religion anew. Evolution and its general ac- the only factor that has caused the present unrest in the religious world.
 Book Titles Show Winds Direction
 "The signs Of the religious unrest through which we are passing may he seen in the titles of books. IL is not necessary to read books to know which way the wind is blowing. A glance at their titles Is sufficient. 4 great Russian writer has written @ volume to which he has given the title. What is Reiigion?" One of the rrniniest Scotchmen of recent years has given us n hook entitled. Gan the Old Faith Live in the New Age?' A college professor in this country writes book in which he asks. Shall we believe in divine providence? A professor in theological seminary has given us a book entitled Can I believe in God tho Father?' From our own New England comes book. What is left of the old Faith 2"
 Columbus Starts New Fra.
 Here the speaker referred to new cults that are springing up. and cited these as illustrations of religious un- rest. He compared scientific inves- tigation of religious beliefs today to tho discovery of America in l492, "Before that time" he said. "eyes of men had been toward the East. Men had been going back to old things. old monuments. old tombs, old manu- scripts. But now the current Of thought turns towards the new. The last 4oo years have been years of ex- ploration. Men have gone to the cen tor of all the deserts; they have climbed to the tops of nearly all the mountains; they have gone to the bot tom of all seas: they have penetrated to the farthest extremes of frozen zones. Men in middle ages lived in a restricted world. There was no outlet for the human mind and so the mind worked upward and in- ward. All the great philosophies were worked out.
 But when that Spanish sailor cried Land in 1492 the glory of scholasti- cism began to fade. For 400 years the mind of man has been going on

OVER S16,OOO.OOO PAID
TO HOLDERS OF WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS, 1878

More than $4,000 900 has been paid
by the Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond to the owners of War Savings
Stamps. series 1918, since January /,
and more than 81 ,000, 900 has been ex-
changed for the new Treasury Saw
ings Certificates, series 1928. Many
millions more will probably be re-
deemed or exchanged through the
regular postoffice channels within the
next few weeks. Exchanges of ma
tured War Savings Stamps for the
new certificates may still be made, as
of current date.
The local postmaster cautions all
who receive such funds to beware OF
all efforts of INSCRIPTIONS promoters
to induce them to use the proceeds of
their War Savings Stamps to buy
questionable stocks or invest in high
ly speculative ventures.
The postmaster stronly recon-
mends the opening Of a Postal Saw
ings account or the re-investment of
such funds for another five years in
Treasury Savings Certificates, which
yield Az per cent. interest per an
mum, compounded semi-annually, If
held to maturity, or may be cashed at
any time at about 3 per cent. simple
interest per annum.
These certificates are perhaps the
only securities in the world which are
sold with an absolute guarantee as to
their worth during the period for
which they are issued. They are al
ways worth more tran they cost and
no other security offered can give a
stronger guarantee OF safety of prin-
cipal and certainty of interest. Each
certificate is registered against loss
or theft
Arrangements for purchase may be
made through the postoffice.

FINANCIAL SUCCESS
OF CONCERT GIVEN
FOR LIBRARY EUND

The sum of nearly two hundred dol
lars was made for the library fund at
the concert given on Monday night.
Thanks to the kindness of Governor
Ritchie and his mother, Mrs. Albert
Ritchie, who loaned the Executive
Mansion for the event, the expenses
in connection with the affair were
very small
The attractive programs, which
were sold by Mrs. Howell Carroll and
Miss Evelyn Sharp, helped defray the
incidental expenses. Mrs. W O.
Stevens was ably assisted by Mrs.
George Abram Moss in making the ar
rangements for the concert. Others
who assisted were the Misses Julia
and Elizabeth Valiant. the two sub
debutante daughters of Mr.. and Mrs
]. w. Valiant, of Wardour. who acted
as ushers.
The financial success of any under
taking at the Executive Mansion is a
foregone conclusion, the spacious
beauty of the rooms and the prestige
of the gubernatorial residence being
in itself sufficient attraction to draw
a crowd To this was added on Mon
day night an excellent program and a
hearty greeting from the Governor,
who put aside his other engagements
for the sake of welcoming the audi
ence in person.
