SPEAKER LAUDS
 l. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Miss C0aISon Speaks at Church
 Last Evening

Miss Lucia C. Coulson. of London, England, lectured last evening at the Christian Science church. She spoke, in part, as follows:
 The present age is above all else a practical age, and so it is natural that everyone who approaches tho subject of Christian Science should ask first of all, What has Christian Science to offer, and does 1t make good? The best answer I can think of it that it offers q present, practi- cal. provable salvation from what ever troubles you, whether ills of body or mind; and that it makes good by open. positive proof by demonstration.
 This age is also one of progress and discovery, and Christian Science presents progress in the Spir- itual realm, the discovery of the Science Of Christianity. Now, just what is the value of this discovery? And is there any need of it today?
 First, as to its value. l. is proving
 effectu4l in the healing of lack, Of sin, disease. and sorrow, in the elim- ination of fear, worry, and dccrepi- tude, for il is. to quote its dIscovcrer bringing to light the scientific ac- ton of the divine Mind on human mnds and bodies.
 Is there any need of such science? There can be little doubt as to the answer, In spite of all the achievements of human intelligence,
 as we look upon the world today the question arises, Of what avail 1 these inventions this Intensive civ 1 ilization, when the humanity they subserye is still no happier, no
 healthier, no hoIier for them ? i Human intelligence is not enough! 1 IL does not hinder mans inhuman~ Iitv 10 man" "Who will show us
 any good 2" is still the cry Who will right the pitiful inequalities of
 men and nations? What is it that will bring happiness to the heart of humanity? And there is no answer, Ithcro can be no answer, until We lrclch the discovery of a higher, a tdvinc intelligence and find that in Itr,Hgoncc to be Love and 10 be here layaiable. That is the answer to humanity's nocd--a God who IS
 Love and whose love can be proved lin the healing of all our woes.
 1 II was of such God that Jesus
 Christ spoke and such a God that he proved for three years among men. Because he taught and prov ed such d God Of love, the man who
 was only thirty-throe years among
 mon, who lived in an obscure prov
 inco of Judca. and spoke in dying
 touguc, who had no one 10 talk" down his words and no press to IpriQt them, yet dates our era. His words live as no other words have ! lever livod. His code has become Eth highest standard of righteous Fn,ss for tho nations. Since the third icrntHry. however, thc healing works, itna signs following. have not been |-Nrn. The God of love has been ilreacbod but not proved as Jesus
 proved Him until our day, and so
 mankind. tired of faith without
 works. has turned rcs'lcssly in every iairectIou for a rrcsnnt-day salvation.
 Hignt here Christian Science steps into The breach. and declares that ttNu healing Christ which Jesus demonstrated, is here today as 'uch as il was nineteen centuries ag",

The Bureau of the Budget today

nue., for additional quarters for the
Municipal Building.
Brig. Gen. Herbert M. Lord, direc-
tor of the bureau, returned to the

LITHUANIAN CRISIS
REPORTED At END
Order Emerges From Coup of
Army and New Cabinet
Is Appointed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 18.-The crisis
caused yesterday by the military coup
d'etat directed by Gen. Smetona has
come to an end, says message re-
ceived today from Kovno by the Lithu-
anian legation.
The message stated that President
Grinius, after accepting the resigna-
ion of the Slezevicius cabinet, resumed
his normal duties in Kovno. He has
appointed Prof. Valdemaras, premier
and minister of foreign affairs, and
other Nationalists as members of the
new cabinet. These include Col.
Merkys as minister of defense and
DIR. Kervelis as minister of finance.
One report, through Warsaw, says
there was fighting on Green Hill, near
Kovno, where one regiment remained
loyal to the government.
With only erratic telephone and tele-
graph communication the situation
was not entir ely clear today, but it
seemed established that a group head
ed by former President Antona
Smetona and Maj. Plekhavichus was
in the saddle, welding dictatorial
power and with the army behind it..
The leaders of the coup charged that
the old government under the mode
rate Socialist premier, M. Elezevicius,
had betrayed Lithuania to the Bolshe-
visits and to foreign nations. They
are said to have been particularly dis
satisfied with the governments le'
nient attitude toward Poland and other
bordering states.
Advices indicate that Gen. Smetona
win make the question of the Wilma
district prominent part of the new
regimes political program. This dis
triet, formerly part of Russia, was
awarded to Poland by the allied coun-
Gil of ambassadors, but Lithuania
has refused to recognize the ambassa-
doris decision.
The present revolt, after lengthy
secret preparation, was launched in
the small hours of yesterday morning.
The Diet was at the fag end of a long
night session when troops entered.
The commanding officer, Maj. Plekha-
vichus, mounted the speakers tri-
bune, announced that the Diet was
dissolved and it's officers under ar
rest, and that the army had assumed
authority.

Second Child Tossed From
Fiery Home Before Others
Jump Out Window.
BODY OF VICTIM FOUND
UNDER GRANDPA'S BED
Tragedy cn Ere of Double Birth
day Party Saddens Friends
of Blanche Solomon, 6.

Blanche Solomon, years old. was
burned to death early this morning.
Other members of the Solomon
household, at 1912 Thirteenth street,
probably owe their lives to the little
girls pet kitten, Grapes, who
aroused her uncle Dy clawing at his
face.
The uncle, Meyer Rosenblatt, and
little Blanche were sleeping in the
same room when fire started at about
$3.50 am. Mr.. Rosenblatt rushed to the
other rooms to awaken his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Gabriel Rosenblatt; MIR.
and Mrs. Arthur f. Solomon and
Blanche's 4-year-old sister, Sylvia.
Then he rushed back to get Blanche.
but flames blocked his path. The
older survivors were forced to jump
from second.Story front windows into
the arms of neighbors, after tossing
Sylvia to safety from the same place.
All slightly burned or injured by
the jump. the dazed families watched
while firemen subdlsed the flames.
Then the search for Blanche began.
Curled Up Under Bed.
They found her curled up beneath
her Grandfather Rosenblatt's bed, as
though seeking protection from the
soaring flames that closed in upon
her. Awakened by the frantic screams
of parents and other relatives, APP
parently, the child had battled her
way through the burning hall to her
grandfa theirs room. With escape
through the windows blocked, she
probably had crawled under the bed,
thinking it would halt the fires prog
ress until help arrived.

Blanche's body to Emergency Hos
pital, but physicians there said life
was extinct. Gabriel Rosenblatt, the
grandfather, was treated for burned
arms. and Mrs. Soloman, the mother,
was cut and bruised. Young Rosen-
blatt was slightly burned. After re.
ceiving medical attention, all went to
the home of relatives few blocks
away.
Tomorrow was to have been a gala
day in the Solomon home. It will be
Sylvia's fourth birthday. Blanche
passed her sixth just a few days ago,
and dual celebration in honor of the
two great events was to have been
held. A big cake was ready and little
friends had been invited to the party.
But those playmates who call will 60
just to say good-by to Blanche.
Store Escapes Flames.
The rear of the house was nearly
destroyed by the fire and most of the
front was damaged. The store on the
first floor escaped with only damage
by water. The flames ate their way
through a wall into the neighboring
home of Charles Gerson, a tailor.
The blaze there was checked. how
ever, before it did much damage.
What became of Grapes? Well, no
member of the family knows yet.
Some persons remembered seeing the
kitten leave the house and prowl
among the crowd until Blanche's body
was discovered. Then Grapes disap-
peared, only to revisit the scene of
the tragedy for brief moment later
in the morning and then again to
leave.

Republic Struggle.

LONDON, December 1S OD.-Brit-
ish newspapers today viewed over
throw of the Marx cabinet in Ger
many as an important crisis in a
struggle between supporters of the
republic and of the old monarchist
regime.
The Chronicle says that the real

that militarism will not be victorious.
The Times declares that the crisis

fundamental question of who governs
Germany.
"The Reichstag debate" the paper
says, has put the question of the
regime and its connection with the
army into the foreground. The Ma

taken up the challenge and Joined
