Worlds Future
Lies i'm Christian
Religion Says Bishop

New York, March o.-AlthouEh
the world is living in period Of
extraordinary interest in religion it
cannot be saved by a religion that
loses its faith in the supernatural.
or by gospel that is sliding down
the hill towards nationalsm. said
Bishop William T. Manning Of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese of New
York in an Ash Wednesday sermon
at Trinity church today.
I'VE seemed suddenly to have
awakened to the fact that the Christ
ian religion is the foundation on
which our whole life and civilization
rests. the one hope for the worlds
future, the bishop continued. we
see that if the Christian religion goes
everything goes with it. our stand
ards. our moral ideals and convic-
tons. our guiding principles.
The Christian religion Is not
matter of our human reason and
speculation. 1t is message from
Above. a Gospel divinely given, a
supernatural revelation from God 1t
is the one thing Of supreme import
ance."

some OF the choicest whispered
stories of the Oil scandal are rum

John w. H. Grim. who as special

declined to divulge the names of the
accused men to senate and house
members who have proposed an in
vestigation. but their identity has
been disclosed to Acting Attorney
General Seymour and to President
Coolidge.
Mr.. Grim has taken the position
that to lay the evidence before a
committee of congress might embar-
rass it's presentation to the grand
jury, which probably will begin
early next week. In this view con-
gressional leaders generally have
agreed.
Representative Garrett, of Ten
however, said tonight that in his
opinion the resolution he introduced
yesterday for an inquiry by a special
committee should be given quick
consideration.
In this hectic times" said Mr..
Garrett, when public suspicion Is
running so strongly against the diff
ferent branches of the federal gov
eminent. it seems to me highly i'm
portant that the house of represen-
tatives should take every necessary
step promptly either to vindicate or
condemn any of its members charg-

The Garrett resolution is in the
hands of the rules committee, whose
chairman, Representative Smell. of
New York, has conferred with Mr..
Grim and has agreed that for the
present the question should be left
to the prosecuting officers of the
government.

Coolidge Gives
Back Citizenship
To Deserter Group

Washington, Mar. 5--P re s n t
Coolidge by proclamation today re-
stored the rights of American citi-
Zonship to all deserters from the
army and navy during .he three year
period between the armistice and the
formal ending of the world war.
The proclamation, ISSUED upon the
recommendation of Secretaries Den
by and Weeks, affects in no wise
those who deserted in the face Of the
enemy or at any time before the ar
mistice, and does not remit or COM
mute the court martial sentences of
those who deserted after the armis-
tice and prior to the technical ending
of the war.
The president acted TO clear up a
situation whereby under the law
those who deserted after the fighting
ceased suffered the same loss of citi-
Zenship as those who left the mill
tary forces during the wars prose-
cution. The was was actually over
on November II. 1918, but all who
deserted after that date and before
the last proclamation peace on No
vember Il, 1921, were deemed under
the law voluntarily to have reiin-
pushed and forfeited their right Of
citizenship, as well as their rights
to become citizens. and to BE forever
incapable of holding any office of
trust or profit under the United
States or of exercising any of the
rights of American citizenship.
Secretary DENLY in letter to the
president, made public at the navy
department .concident with issuance
of tho proclamation at the white
house, declared the citizenship pen

OF desertion committed during the
prosecution of a war. are uncommon
" harsh and severe for offenses COM

were when they deserted. n full con-
ception of the statutory disabilities
which confronted them was not pos
sible" Mr.. DENLY said. ut Is during
the years which have ensucd. and
which they may yet have to live. as
they grow to manhood and old age.
that they realize the terrible cOnse-
quence of their offence and the shame
which 1T involves and which. unless
relieved they must carry with them
to the grave. to the everlasting dis
honor of themselves md their pos
tcrity. They are forever marked men
living in country without any of
the benefits of citizenship and for
over deprived of obtaining such ben
eflts.''

IL was written I'm reply to resolutions
adopted by the Philippine Legislature

opinion of political observers here,
the basis for the Philippine indepen-

Republican platform for the forth
coming presidential campaign.
