In these letters for a while l plan
to feature some one or other of our
preachers, trying to make you see
folks instead of schools, churches, or

Today / would like to present to
Iyou Rev. Uong Dung Sing, pastor of
our church at Au-cheng. This is a
big suburb of Foochow City, where

the most squalid church site in
Asia" But the centenary came and
money in it's train; so that a COM

conference, felt the need of a labora-
tory to test out the ideas that he had
gathered while studying in America,
so asked Bishop Keeney to appoint
him 10 church as part-time pastor.
He was sent to this church with Rev.
Uong, q graduate of the Union Theo-
logical school, as his assistant. You
get the idea don't you? 1t was to
train up one young man to a good
stage, then send him on to take full
charge somewhere else, bringing in
another recent graduate to take his
place.
Well, here IS Dung Sing in the
second year of his apprenticeship
See him with big Sunday school
in the morning and a bigger one in
the afternoon where he is helped by
some of the students and teachers
from Hua Nang college. The older
boys and girls of the morning Sun
day school, children from the day
school carried on by this church, go
out Immediately after dinner to
round up all the dirty or otherwise
children of the entire neighborhood.

terror walls of the building and the
interior dome will not be disturbed.
Among the eliminations will be the
unsightly smoke stacks, ventilators,
skylights and the present dome,
which ts so generally designated as a
cheese box"
So generous is the proportion OF
room provided that it would be posi-
Bile to remove the present annex,
which has been severely criticised by
many architects.
Present requirements of the state
are estimated at 10000 square feet
of floor space. The tower type of
building provides 100000 square feet.
Architects estimates, which have
been reinforced by figures from we'll
known builders, indicate that this
structure can be completed within the
appropr iation OF the last legislature,
which was s4,000,000
The building commission favors
making the Improvements on the
state house grounds, but the law will
not permit. The appropriation can
only be used for the purchase of a

INCREASING strength from advo-
i Gates of architectural beauty Is
coming to the proposition to erect a
tower type OF building in order to
supply the needed additional room for
state offices in the capitol
Members of the State Building
Commission, which consists Of Gov
ernor Donahey, Attorney General
Crabbe and State Auditor Tracy, au-
thorized by the state legislature, has
been furnished with the perspective
and other drawings for the proposed
new structure.
The design Is by Thomas d. Nc
Iaughlin and associate architects of
Lima, o. Their claim, which they
have submitted figures to substan-
tiate, is that a stately and command
ing tower can be built in the center
of the present state house, resting on
it's own foundation, Independently Of
the old building and permitting its
use while construction is il progress

DEFENSE ATTACKS
STATE WITNESSES
IN VAT WAR CASE

VALDOSTA, Ca, March 5.-The
government rested it's case today in
the trial Of twenty-one Echols county
cattlemen charged with conspiracy
to violate the federal dipping law,
and the defense Immediately began
presentation of witnesses.
Defense objection to use of names
appearing in documentary evidence
submitted by the government con-
corning men employed in cattle dip
ping work in the county, except
those names used in indictments, was
sustained KY the court.
In an effort to break down testi-
mony submitted by the prosecution,
former Representative Jesse Peter
son, former Representative George
S. Roberts, r. Y. Touchton, a dip
ping Inspector, and E. A. Lanier,
naval stores operator, were placed
on the stand in rebuttal. They tes-
titled against the reputation of gov
eminent witnesses.
Jesse Culpepper, county commits
sioner; Joe Fry, naval stores oper-
ator, and Joe Bass gave similar tes-
timony.
Bass stated on the witness stand
that John Lotion, a guard at Prime
vat, who previously identified eight
of the men alleged to have attempt
ed to blow up that vat, had told him
a few days after the incident that he
did not know any Of the men.

WILSON READY TO RESIGN
ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN
CONGRESS OPPOSED POLICIES

opposed several members OF the
house Of representatives who sought
denomination on the Democratic tick
ct. Some of thesa contests turned
in his favor and some he lost. This
did not swerve him from his con-
ception of party leadership. AL
though he rarely commented on pub
lie questions during the last three
years of his life he never failed to
respond to a request from Democrats
for an expression Of opinion as to
a Democratic candidate for renomi-
nation who had opposed him. Typi-
cal oe these were his bitter epistles
on the party infidelity of Senators
James A. Reed. of Missouri, and
of whom had failed to support the
Versailles treaty and League of
Nations with or without reserva-
tons.
ImpersOnal in Denunciations
There was nothing personal in
any Of this. When he characterized
Senator Shields as the 'least trust
worthy" of his associates in public
life, he did not mean personally. No
one had achieved a higher reputa-
ton for integrity than Senator
Shields of Tennessee. At one time
Mr.. Shields was chief justice of the
supreme court of the state of Ten
nessee. But he differed with Wood
row Wilson'S foreign policy. This
act made him in Mr.. Wilson's judg.
ment unworthy Of trust as a Dem
ocrat. For he as leader of the
1lr vt 70 III
League of Nations as a cause which
pion to a man particularly because
chosen to take the other side. Mr..
Wilson felt that when Senator
Shields voted with the Republicans
he forfeited his right to the votes
of Democrats in a party primary
contest.
Perhaps the most striking ex-
ample of this Wnsonian theory
about party discipline occurred after
he left the White House. He had
always been fond of Oscar Under.
wood, worked in close cooperation
with him when the latter led the
Democrats in the house, and wrote
him many friendly letters notwith-
standing the fact that one wing Of
the party-particular the Bryan
1nfluence-was opposed to the con-
servatism of the Alabama states
man.
After Senator Underwood voted
for a separate peace" with Ger
many and served on the delegation
with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
which negotiated the four power
pact between the United States,
Great Britain, France and Japan,
Mr.. Wilson was deeply disappointed.
IF Underwood is a Democrat" he
remarked to friend, then 1 am a
Republican"

sibility to his party prompted him to
try for a third nomination for the

CASH BONUS PLANS
BEFORE COMMITTEE.
At PUBLIC HEARING

WASHINGTON. March "a two
fold soldier bonus plan, providing
options of full cash payments OIL
paid-up insurance, was proposed to
the house ways and means commit
tee today by committee of veterans
representing house Democrats.
Representative letters. Alabama
chairman of the Democratic commit
tee. who presented the plan, argued
the government owed former serv.
ice men adjusted compensation
which should be offered in the "coin
Of the realm.
Full cash payments would elm
mate administrative difficulties and
cost involved in other bonus pro-
grams, Mr.. LETTERS said, and would
enable the government to settle the
whole question in a year.
1t all veterans elected to take the
cash payments, Mr.. letters said, it
would cost s1,319, 500, 900, which
could be met by bond issue. He
favored compensation for army Off.
GERS up to the rank of captain.
Basis for Figuring
The same basis of figuring adjust
ed compensation used in the bin
passed last session-S1 a day for
home service and SIPS a day for
overseas service-would be applied III
Yhe plan. and payments would be
limited to $500 for home service and
1925 for overseas service.
Under the Mckenzie bill, now be-
fore the committee, which is similar
to that vetoed by President Harding,
cash payments would go only to
those not entitled to more than $50.
Other members of the committee are
Representatives Rankin, Mississippi;
Milligan, Montana; ConnerX, Massa-
chusetts, and Browning, Tennessee.
Before receiving the Democratic
plan, the committee inquired into
the activities of the ex-Service Mems
Anti-Bonus league. knowlton Dur
ham, president of the organization.
presented a list of contributors to
the league and explained that it was
operated on contributions, the 81
dues Of members being optional.
Has Spent $4,000
The league now has about 10000
members, Durham said, and $96 200
has been spent in its operations, the
expenses now running about $4,000
a month.
Explaining his opposition to the
bonus, Durham declared he and
members Of the league believed the
men of this country went to war to
protect their own homes and fami-
lies and, therefore, the question Of
wages should not be considered He
said he was a member of the Ameri-
can Legion.
Herbert Davenport, of Texas, pre-
scented a request of men he COM
manded in the war for a bonus. He
said until recently he had opposed
the bonus, but found that men who
volunteered and worked as mechan-
les in the air service considered adj
justed compensation as rightly due
them, since others Of their age had
Joined shipyard crews and earned as
much in week as they did In
month.
