new PEACE Plan

Geneva by Russians Fol-
lowed by Another.

/ Geneva-Russia has new plan Tor
the disarmament OF the nations OF
the world, the original Russian dis
armament having been rejected by
the preparatory committee for dis

noff, soviet vice commissioner for
foreign affairs, announced at the ses-
zion of the committee that he would
lay new proposals before the dele
gates.
There was an overwhelming ma
3ority against the disarmament pro-
posals as first enunciated by M. Lit
vinoff, and it was supposed that that
would end the soviet for the present,
but the head Of the Russian delega-
ton sprung his surprise of new pro-
posals, probably modified.
Hugh S. Gibson, u. S. delegate, sug.
gested that the second reading of the
committees draft convention be put
over to date to be fixed by the pre-
sident, taking into account the pro-
gress of the negotiations between the
powers, whose views are divergent.
Everybody agreed to this except
the Germans and Russians. Count
Won Bernstorff insisted on an imme-
date second reading Of that conven-
ton. Litvinoff rallied to Won Berns-
TORT, and Won Bernstorff rallied to
Litvinoff, the German delegates ex-
pressing the opinion that the new
Russian project ought to be examined.

glove is the Fulfilling of the Law

The Thirteenth Chapter of Romans
is the charter of moral authority in
human government. 1t ordains ru-
lers, government and law to the
ministry of moral progress. 1t gives
to Christians the right and it lays
upon the Christian conscience the
obligation to use the power of law
for the removal of gross evils and
the advancement of organized socie-
ty toward the standards of Christian
morality. In Christian democracy,
where the powers that be" are a
ruling majority of Christian citizens
at the ballot box, the registration up
on the statute books from time to
time of higher and still higher ideals
of moral conduct will mark the CEN
turtles like the tread of destiny. And
humanity will move upward toward
these ideals with the unacceptable
certainty of a divine decree. For
verify l say unto you, Till heaven
and earth pass away, one jot or one
little shall in no wise pass away
from the law, till all things be ac-
complished."
Thus, through the agency of law,
have vanished into the shadows of
darker ages: the slave ship with it's
cargo of blacks from Africa; the
murderous duel masked as an affair
of honor; the gambling lottery as a
source of public revenue; the chat
tel chains of humans held in slavery;
the legal traffic in alcoholic poison
to degrade and damn the bodies and
souls of men. Thus, through the
agency of law, will vanish, in the
Frightening ages to come, many
another villainy now practiced by
1.-The lawless and unruly" for whose
judgment the sovereign citizen, by
his legal representatives, "beareth
not the sword in vain: for he is a
minister of God, an avenger for
wrath to him that doeth evil" until
all the lofty dreams of Christian mo-
rality be accomplished and love be-
come indeed the fulfilment of the
law.-American Issue.

the states of Jalisco and Michoacan

on railroad trains. The military avia-

TOM MIX IS AT
 LIBERTY TONIGHT

The mountains began to do a Charleston while Tom Mix had his company in the desert making scenes for "No Mans Gold Fox Films version of J. Allan Dunn widely read novel. This feature is at the Liberty tonight.
 The outfit had just sat down to luncheon. The tables were in Cathedral Canyon, in the. shade of an overhanging ledge of rock some 200 feet above. The chuck wagon had just started to give out it's savory feast and the crew of fifty-three with Mix was hun gry.
 There was .rumbling of the earth, the tables heaved like a shin in a storm and the mountains started to do a Charleston.
 The men cast a wild look around and when the overhang- ing ledge of rock was spied there was a scramble toward the des- ert. Mix, Eva Novak, frank Campeau and Harry Gripp re- mained seated and watched the exodus with amusement.
 After the quake ended and no rocks crashed down on the tables, Mix mounted Tony and rounded up the scattered crew. When he got them together he said: i've experienced quite a mum Der of earthquakes since l made my first trip to the desert, but I have never yet seen any one get injured. So take it calmly and remember this is only one of Natures entertainments staged for your amusement"
