 Two sharks. measuring little over six feet in length, were caught by fishermen seven miles off Boul- ogne last night. They were brought this morning to Boulogne and ex- hibited in front of the central post office, where they were the subject of great curiosity for several hours.
 Precautions have been taken to keep the news of the sharks apear- anCe from Miss Ederle when she ar rives here at six o'clock tonight for her last rest before the attempt to swim the channel.
 During one of his attempts to swim the channel Jabez Wolff, Miss Ederles trainer. was forced to leave the water because of the attacks of a huge shark.
 Fishermen here say that the con tinued hot weather, which has brought the temperature of the channel water to higher point than usual. is responsible for the presence Of the man-eaters in the channel.

LAUDS PRESS FOR
 EXPOSING CRIME
Minister Says Newspapers Sim
 ply Follow Lead of Bible

The newspapers have done great deal in exposing of crime, ac- cording to James A. Solandt, presi- dent of the American United Con- munity Education For Safety. who delivered an interesting sermon at the Methodist church in Haddam yesterday. Mir. Solandt scored Chi cago clergyman who condemned the newspapers on the grounds that their printing of crime news tended to produce more crime. This shows how far such churches have drifted from a due sense of their responsi- bility." said Mir. Solandt.
 He pointed out that crime was printed in the Bible. Gains murder of Abel and his lie to cover, it being both printed In that ancient narra- tive, He showed where Christ pub lishcd and condemned In the most searching term the crimes and in iquites of His day. "The terms of our modern newspapers are very easy compared to His searching worlds" said the speaker.
 Read the newspapers and the magazines Of the past week In them we find the record of crime and shedding of blood unparalleled in so-called times of peace in the his- tory of the world" said Mir. Solandt. In such a crisis as this can the church be silent and be called re- lgious? Can the clergy tell the papers to keep silent and not he far advanced as the writer of Genesis" 2" he asked.
 TWO years before the World war broke ont the newspapers printed the whole plan for the subiugation of the world, including the teachings of Bernhardi. Neitsche and the sep aration and ascendenCy of militarism over the churches. But the churches here were silent on the question. If the whole Y. S. A. had arisen at that time at the call of the press the World war probably would not have come on.
 "It was a newspaper man who un- carthed the Teapot Dome scandal churches were silent.
 Tt was newspaper man un- carthed the scandal regarding fraud state. The churches were silent. state. The churches silent.
 Ut Is the newspapers that are placing before the public minds to- day only a part of the facts regard ing the internal warfare in our land, the most of the churches silent.
 "I'or more than two years the press and magazines have pointed out the courts as the center of our lawlcss conditions and the churches are silent and call for nothing re- gariing justice, mercy and faith funcss.'
 "Ycs we need an American pulpit that will tell of the hand of God in American history, that will call for the cooperation of all the construc- tive forces to look upon the open book of life where at present God is calling for every man and woman, boy and girl to the highest patrio- tism in order that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish frtm the earth"
