VIOLETTE ENDS
MEETINGS WITH
Il new NAMES

The revival conducted by DR.. E. E.
Violette at the Christian church came
to a close last night with full house
and most happy spirit. Seven new
members were added on the last call
to enlist in the work of God, making
a total Of II to come forward during
the meeting. This was declared to be
one of the most successful revivals
ever held i'll Douglas and it was en-
tirely free from sensationalism.
The large audience remained after
the benediction for several minutes
before leaving the church.
After a few minutes recess the mem
bers of the congregation were called
together and DR.. Violette eXhorted the
membership to faithfully support and
be jealous in their duties to the church.
DR.. Violette's subject last night was,
cat the Cross Roads of Life and
Death" 1t was a fitting message for
the last service and emphasized ones
duty so to live that when the storms
of life in the form of unseen emer-
gencies come upon one he may be
ready and able to meet them with the
assurance of victory. His test was from
Daniel 18th chapter. "They that be
wise shall shine as the brightness Of
the armament, and they that turn
many to righteousness as the stars
forever and ever" He said that Daniel
was one of the most comprehensive Of
all the books OF the Old Testament in
its message, and that the text was
one of the finest summaries of what a
man ought to be in that it emphasized
what was real wisdom and what was
the true meaning Of service to others.
He called attention to what Jesus said
about the wise man who built on the
rock and the foolish or stupid man who
built on the sand and when the storm
came and the floods rolled and beat
against the houses only the wise build
er was able to stand the terrible tests.
He then told the story Of how the
youthful engineer persisted in going
to much greater expense than was in
tended by the older engineers in the
construction of the bridge above
Johnstown, Pa, until his idea pre-
vailed against much opposition and
years later when the Johnstown flood
came with a 47-foot wall of water the
engineer urged his people to rush for
the bridge which stood the test.
Dr.. Violette will remain over Tues
day and Wednesday to deliver some
lectures. At p m. today he will tell
of "The Thrilling Experience of His
Travels" Tonight at 7:30 he will lee
ture on Japan" The lecture is free
but a silver offering will be taken.
On Wednesday night he will deliver
the lecture on "The Passion Play Of
Oberamergau."

who went to see it expressed en-
thusiastic approval OF it, both as to
the planning OF the rooms and the
details in general. There was also
much favorable comment on the
furnishings that had been installed.
The house had not been sold last
night but Rex Rice said tnat there
were not less than three prospects
which looked like it was problem OF
which would close the deal. He said
he felt certain it would belong to
the other fellow by tonight.
BY actual count there were more
than 900 visitors in the house between
l and 9 p. m. Sunday and yesterday
there were between $50 and 300 who

clared General Lejeune, commenting
on the Nicaraguan situation.
1.-THE boys have the situation well
in hand, but L would be afraid to
say how long it will take to clean
things up. We hope to round up
most of the rowing gangs before the
rainy season starts, in June. General
Feland is bending every effort in
that direction. But the situation is
tough one in a jungle country we'll
adapted to ambush and guerilla war
fare of the rebels. 1t may take q
long time to finish.
1.-THE marines have accomplished
wonders already. From Leon, down
the coast to Ocotal, our advance base,
the only means of transportation is
by OK cart-requiring two to three
weeks to carry supplies 16C miles,
Nov we are using three tri-1
motored Fekker, planes on the job
and they make the trip in two hours
carrying a ton of supplies. This,
however, is cnly drop in the bucket
and we are building cur own roads"
General Lejeune told of having
flown over Ell Chipote, Sandino's
captured mountain stronghold, while
the marines were advancing up the
base of the mountain preparatory to-
the seizure OF the stronghold
He praised highly the work of

TARIFF is SNAC
IN PAN AMERICAN
HAVANA PARLEY


HAVANA, Feb. 6 P)-The American
tariff brought the United States and
Argentina once again sharply. up
against each other today.
In a closed Subcommittee meeting
called to draft a preamble 10 the
PAM American union convention,
Chairman Hughes of the American
delegation is understood to have de-
clared that in his opinion it would
be utterly impossible TO include in
this document any direct reference
to the advisability OF reducing tariff
barriers into international commcrcc
and much less to make the attain
ment OF this reduction the of the
main objects of the Pan-American
union as had been insisted upon by
Ambassador Honorio Pueyrredon OF
Argentina.
DR.. Pueyrredon was reported as
maintaining his previous position that
PAM -Americanism should not be based
on distractions and that ii it were
to fulfill its purpose it would have
to take up positive problems facing
the development of the American
peoples.
Chief among these concrete prob
lens to be solved, DR.. Pueyrredon
maintained, is the tendency to estab-
liSh prohibitive tariffs in inter-
American commerce.
In a previous meeting or the COM
naittee of Pam American union affairs,
DR.. Pueyrredor had moved that in
the preamble Of the new convention
which is to establish firmly the basis
of the institution in Washington,
direct reference be made to this ques-
ton with the accompanying obligation
OF the union to study means to reduce
or to abolish completely trade barriers.
In today's meeting it is understood
Mr.. Hughes reminded DR.. Pueyrredon
of the latter's stand on Saturday in
favor of the absolute sovereignty of
nations and declared that the right
of assessing tariffs and taxes was the
very fundamental precept. of sover-
eighty. In addition the American
chairman is said to have asserted that
if the right of the Parliamentary
union to NEEDLE in tariff matters
were included in the preamble to a
convention, this instrument would
stand very little chance OF being
ratified, not only by the American
senate, but probably by the legislature
of almost all American republics, in
Guiding that of Argentina.
