in Havana began today to form their
battle lines both in the foreign rela-
lations committee and in the senate.
Opposition is not confined to adj
ministration senators on The repub-
lican side, Senator Robinson, OF
Arkansas, the democratic leader, who
is a member of the foreign relations
committee, said he thought it would
be ''the wise policy to wait until after
the conference is over" before launch
ing general inquiry.
Some of the other democrats share
this view and it is regarded as sig
nificant that when this subject was
brought up in the senate last week,
it was Senator Bruce, of Maryland,
a democrat, who defended the adj
ninistration's policy in maintaining
marines in the Latin-Anerican re-
public.
Senator Edge, of New Jersey, who
has Just returned from weeks visit
to the conference in Havana, prob
ably will lead the administration fight

Swanson, of Virginia, the ranking
democrat on that committee, favor

28 new NAMES
ON THE ROLLS

The revival at the Christian church
was at high tide Sunday when 16
new recruits were enlisted, making
28 additions UP to last night. DR.
E. E. Violette was greatly encouraged
with the unusual interest. His lee
ture Sunday afternoon at $3.50 was
said by many to be the most interest
ing lecture ever heard Roar after
roar Of applause inspired the speaker.
The auditorium was filled, the ma
iority of the hearers being men. His
lecture was on THE Evolution of
Peace" one of a. series of lectures
on international Relationships" An
other lecture will be delivered next
Sunday afternoon on, Americas
God" a part Of which will be
continuation of the series.
Last night DR.. Violette's subject
was, "The Old Time Religion" from
Acts second chapter He said what
made Christians in the day of the
apostles will make Christians today,
and the conditions of pardon were
simple and those mentioned on Pente-
cost in Acts q, are the same condi-
tiOns Of pardon today. That forgive
ness did not depend on how one felt
but on what God said in his word.
That forgiveness takes place in the
mind OF God while feeling taxes place
within the individual.
DR. Violette told how the various
reforms and churches came about
as an attempt to get back to apostolic
teaching as indicated in the New
Testament, each church thinking it
had found Something which had been
overlooked. But he said that un-
fortunately so many denominations
had bad effect in that they were
not united SO that they could have
the influence and power to bring
about reforms in social conditions, Sc
that the will of God might be done
on earth as in heaven. DR.. Violette
said:
IF you want to become famous
musician, actor or a man of literature
you must go by the way of New
York New York directs the world
of finance through Wall street. If
you get book printed that will sell
you must have it printed in that
city" He then said that 1900
monthly magazines and journals are
printed in New York which were not
allowed to go through the mails, but
had to be shipped by express or
otherwise. He said if Christians were
united we could change these evil
conditions all over the country. His
main emphasis was on Christian
unity and the abolishing of human
names, creeds and dogmas that have
separated the people of God into
so many camps, thus limiting their
influence and wasting so much energy
and money that should be used to
evangelize the world in which there
is nearly a billion people who have
not heard of Christ.
sPeter preached on. the day OF
Penteccst," said Dr. Violette, what
we ought to be preaching, and the
old time religion is a life. Religion
is notiFa theology but a life. Pure
and undefiled religion before God the
Father is to. visit the fatherless and
widows in their affliction and to

PRONUNCIACION
PRONUNCIATION

The general rule for emphasis in
Spanish is: In words ending with a
vowel the emphasis should be placed
on the next to the last syllable, and
in those ending with a consonant on
the last. Examples:
Mesa-Table General-General
Butaca-Arm- chair. Hablar To
speak.
In words not following this rule the
accented syllable must be marked
thus g. Only the acute accent is
used in Spanish. Examples;
Papa: to be distinguished from
(papa) potato.
Esta-it is: to be distinguished from
(eSta) this.
Proximo-nex Sabado- Saturday.
Azlicar-sugar Arbor-tree. Celebre-
celebrated. Microbes Wednesday.
The principal exception to these
rules is words ending in n or S;
when, if no accent is placed over the
word, it must be emphasized on the
penultimate syllable, but if the word
is emphasized on the last syllable, an
accent must be placed over 1t. Ex-
amples:
With N.
J0yen-youth. Pronunciacion-pr
nunciation. Leccion-lesson. Or1gen-
origin. Orden-order. Algun- some
any.
With S..
IIines-Monday. Martes-Tuesday.
Compass Cortes polite. In
gles-Englishman, or English, accord
INC To meaning. FranceS-Frenchma
or French.
Notice that, according to the gen
eral rule for emphasis, the accent
will be necessary for the formation
of the plural when the singular does
not renllire it. and vice cersa, as:
| Ordenes, Compases. LeccloneS' JoVe-
nes Algunos, Franceses.
Note that the plural OF words eno-
ing in S, when the emphasis is noC
on the last syllable, does not cnange'
as:
/ FL Llnes (sing) los lunes (plu.
ri nartes (sing.) los martes (plu)
The change of the word, therefore
from the singular to the plural does
not affect the emphasis, WIN LIE
single exception of:
f (Sing.) aracter-nature.
/ (Plu.) Caracteres.
The same rule applies to the ternn-
nation of the plural in verbs Elk

This revision followed Mexico's
failure, after the first payment in
1924, to meet her obligations under
the original agreement The modified
pact was carried out until the pay
ment due January 1, 1873, which
Elias stated will be cared for about

The Brazilian representative on the
committee opposed the suggestion
contained in the Mexican proposals
to rotate the offices of director gen.
eral and president of the governing
board. He declared that this was not
in the best interest of the union.
Senor Pueyrredon's specific pro-
posalS for the reorganization of the
Pan-A American union were:
First, that the governments, men,
bers of the Pan-American union,
should take immediate action TO sup
press or reduce exaggerated customs
barriers now restricting freedom OF
inter American commercial inter
course
Second, suppression of restraint to
free circulation and interchange OF
agricultural products in such cases
where this action does not endangeT
the welfare OF the countries and their
workers.
I Third, in the exercise of laws gov
erling animal and plant sanitation
the signatcry countries should adopt
an organic system representing a
guarantee that the methods employed
snail never have an arbitrary char
acter.
Because the American idea,
was a collective ideal, Senor Pueyr-
lredon declared that if any one coun-
try suffered from the commercial
policy of any other. then all the
countries in the an-Anerican unio-
should declare their solidarity with
the former, for although he believed
in the sovereign rights o. nadons. HI
