COOPERATION OF
HOME AND CHURCH

Dr.. James F. Albion OF Brunswick
puking before q union meeting OF
E,tervile churches last evening at
ID Methodist church declared that
uoperatlon OF the home and the
Auch was one Of the most practical
ms Of securing advancement In the
sli,ual and moral life Of the nation.
D. Albion's theme was the necessity
\ religious education.
He stated that there are more ways
obtaining education In America at
| as present time than can be taken
ar OF. He mentioned for example
N countless magazines and books
shg printed on various subjects.
What the world needs" said DR..
lbIcn, Is hope. courage and faith.
Ne public school cannot give 1t. 1t
tws a certain amount OF moral edu-
alton but It Is not adequate. The
u school gave this sort OF education
\nd that has something to do with
w England character which was
sakied into the veay fibres OF the
sfy settlers"
Dr. Albion stated that the Roman
a,holcs considered religious educa.

The only effective religious edu-

He expressed tAc belief that the

the problems raised by the Egyptian
and Corfu controversies. He cham
pioned the stand of the league in
both cases, affirming that the out
come had been a victory for peace.
"The league is there to deal with
International relations, not with re-
lations affecting the national admin
istration Of any country" Viscount
Cecil explained, and he pointed out
that the relations between England
and Egypt "are of a very special
character"
He asserted that mo objection can
be Justly raised to the British action
regarding Egypt, which he said was
not an international matter. Eng
lands offer after the controversy to
lay before the council of the league
full statement of her action in
Egypt, he declared to be lone of the
most striking testimonials to the
progress Of the idea Of international
unity"
Viscount Cecil defended the
leagues stand during the Corfu Incl
dent as "one of the most distinguish
ed successes Of the new international
conception" He said that the league
is not a super-state and that il two
nations are in conflict "the leagues
function has been discharged when
1t has brought them together and
put them on the road to agreement,
and that function was most success
fully accomplished in the Corfu
case"
The speaker listed the activities of
the league, calling attention to the
fact that in the first eight months
Of 1924, Is international conferences
had met in Geneva. He praised es-
pecially the leagues action in taking
up health questions and in warning
against epidemics and the drug ques-
ton. 1t must yet attack the traffic
in women and children and the pub
lication Of obscene literature, he
said.
After dwelling on the political dis
putes arbitreted before the league.
Viscount Cecil spoke of it's work II
the rehabilitation of Austria anG
Hungary and it's success in backing
the Greek loan.
He declared that although the
Dawes plan was devised entirely
without the sphere of the league, it
was founded on principles similar
to those advocated by the league.
ITO my mind" he said, what hope
will be the great success of the
Dawes scheme Is just as much re-
suit Of the new international con-
ception for which Woodrow Wilson
stood as anything that has been done
by the league ITSELF"

In discussing the accident a little
while after in Mr.. Miles store which

several Winslow citizens spoke OF the
narrow escapes that several people

1t was from westbound trains and
they laid the fact to the trusses on

De Nalech, promptly denied that
freedom of the press was at issue.
But since we have been in power"
NJ. Herriot added, I'VE have seen on
several occasions unfortunate conse-
euences of certain indiscretions
which have more than once embar-
rassed diplomatic negotiations and
threatened to cause complications.
"Only recently the newspaper for
which you intervene, published in
mutilated form a record. the revela-
tion of which caused the serious in
convenience Of involving not only
the head of the French government,
but the prime minister of the Brit
ish government.
To-day there Is at issue ,docu-
ment Of an especially confidential
character which cannot be made
public without the assent of the. al
lied governments. This document.
therefore, is both inter-allied and
secret. A search ordered by a mag
istrate resulted in the discovery of
duOlhCk lCPOtls V4uo'As 'SSANNf Nv
longing to the second bureau Of the
army general staff.
The government had not only the
right but the duty to prosecute this
infraction, not of the law of 1881 re-
garding the press. but the law of 1885
regarding the safety of the state.
Prosecution undertaken against the
abstraction or revelation of secret
documents in nowise infringes the
freedom of the press"
Emile Bure, editor Of L'Eclair. said
that the seized document referred to
by the premier Is a report on Ger
man aviation made Is months ago.
He added that the document had
been in type for long time, but that
L'Eclair had not published it. consid-
ering 1t of slight importance. The
record involving NJ. Herriot and for
mer Premier Macdonald of Great
Britain, was a verbatim report of
their conversation at Cheauers Court.
M. Bure said 1t was published to
show NJ. Herriot's alleged "capitula-
ton" to Mr.. Macdonald.
There Is no concealment by the
newspaper that its publication OF the
report from General Nollet to former
Premier Poincaire was a political
move designed partly. as 1t declares.
ito throw a strong and sinister light
on the tragic deliberations which
took place between NJ. Herriot and
Mr.. Macdonald.
when NJ. Herriot and General
Nollet capitulated before the Labor
leader" LEclair adds, they were
not in the least ignorant OF the dan
gers to which they exposed France"
when a government aspires to a
dictatorship for q prosecution Of the
pressN on charges Of false news to
prevent the opposition from making
itself heard" says the Journal Des
Debats, "then everyone concludes
that 1t feels the ground slipping from
