the military court by William
Leahy, civilian defense attorney.
Objection Voiced
Col. C. w. Thomas, the trial
judge-advocate, sharply objected
to any reference by the defense
to the Newberry Company, Of
Boston. This company, which
deals in surplus Army goods, was
represented here by O'Neill and
Jackson in 1888 when Assistant
Secretary of War Harry H. Wood
ring granted its petition for modi-
fication Of a contract in order to
permit it to sell surplus Army
goods in this country. Under the
original contract, it was compelled
to sell the goods in foreign coun-
tries.
O'Neill and Jackson obtained a
similar modification Of a con-
tract, held by Joseph Silverman,
jr., a dealer in Army surplus goods,
from whom Colonel McMullen is
accused of accepting two round
trip railroad tickets to San Fran
cisco on January 20, 1884.
When Leahy endeavored to
mention the modified contract Of
the Newberry Firm, Colonel
Thomas jumped to his feet and
said:
"The Government objects to
any discrimination regard
ing the Newberry case"
Leahy did not attempt to press
the matter further.

Pierson let it be known the
bank will concentrate on the de-

America by making available
Government credits on easy terms
to American exporters. He said:
There is reason to believe
that the credit Of the South
American republics Is good. 1t
Is only the lack Of dollar ex-
change in South America which
Is blocking the development Of
American trade there. This
shortage Of American dollars
with which to pay for our goods
Is due to the fact our purchases
from South America have
dwindled and the tourist traffic
has faded away"

friendship with South America

the development Of better trade

This move is in line with the
disposition which prevails in

than Europe, in developing Ameri-

There were indications that the
Export t-Import Bank would be pre-
pared to place millions Of dollars
at the disposal Of American traders
seeking markets in South America.
Pierson said the credits would be
confined to long-term loans, prob
ably ranging around five years, in
order to avoid competition with
private banks. Credits extended
by the latter are confined gen
orally to short-term loans Of so

j. 5. SPENDING
FOR RELIEF ON
SCHEDULE
Many ALLEGATIONS Still
Untouched; Others
Well Expended
BY EDWARD b. LOCKETT
international News Service

international news service
Government spending under
last years 4,Ss0-million-dollar
emergency relief appropriation
was running approximately on
schedule January 81, but many
specific allocations were still un-
touched.
This was shown in the Treas
ury's middle-of-the-month state
ment today, which revealed that
all of the big fund except $12,--
2I3,4O6 has been allocated by
President Roosevelt.
The spending ogram has
been spotty. Heavy expenditures
in some Of the categories,
notably roads, direct relief, the
WPA and other similar agencies,
pulled the general schedule up
to normal in spite Of the fact
that not q dime has been spent
from nine allocations totallihg
$53, SOC, ,665.
Time, Money Half Gone
An unobligated, but already al
located balance of $2,436, ,260,-
$3.50 remained potentially on
hand. Thus, it was seen that
approximately half the time
planned for the spending pro-
gram under the relief bill has
elapsed, and about half the
money has been spent.
Obligations totaled $2,727 ,204, :
499 SO, composed Of cash payments
of $1,951,526, ,236.70, and unpaid
bills Of $775,678.262.98.
Oddly enough, the allocations
which were made early, and from
which not a dime has been either
expended or obligated, provided
largely fo- work along the lines
Of the soil conservation act Of
last year-the measure whic h
forms the basis of authority for
the pending new farm bill.
One Of the largest items in
the categorieS Of ALLEGATIONS un-
touched was one Of $4,000. 900
directly for soil erosion, stream
pollution and the like. None Of
this has been expended or obi
gated, nor has any Of the $20,-
600 allocated for chemistry and
soils.
Other Unused Funds
None Of the money allocated
for direct relief In the Indian Al
fairs Bureau, for the jefferson
National Expansion Memorial, or
for the National Park Service, has
been expended or obligated. In
the same group we're funds for
grants to States under the educa-
ton office, for acquisition of land
on Isle Royale, for loans to States
under the rural electrification
administration, and for a con-
SumerS' goods survey.
Only a minute percentage Of
man. other allocationS has been
expended or obligated.
The Treasury statement carries
the emergency relief appropria.
ton as 4,400 million dollars in
stead OF 1880 milylions which was
originally authorized. This Is be
cause some Of the money was
spent for direct relief. ~,

GRADUATES AT DOUGLAS HEAR
 GOOD ADDRESS
Rev. Olafson Oficiates at Baccalaureate Serv-
 ices Sunday

Baccalaureate services for the members of the 1886 graduating class of the Douglas High School were held yesterday afternoon in the Community Church.
 Preceding the sermon which was delivered by Rev. Erling K. Olaf son of the Lutheran Church in Ju- neau, Dean Rice gave the invoca- tion which was followed by vocal solo For This One Day" by Mrs. Glen Kirkham, accompanied by Miss Margaret Pearce.
 In his sermon, the Rev. Olafson pointed out that Baccalaureate Sun day was an observance of an old GUS tom. During the years of our school ing we have been concerned with the learning of many facts, but relig- ion has been almost entirely exclud- ed" he declared, stating that the religious part of our learning was left to the churches and to our par ents. Our religion is not the busi- ness of the state or school" he said.
 T'meh cmfw emf cm fcmfwyp
 The message to be delivered oh Bacculaureate Sunday should be one of religion. Religion concerns God and relationship with him. One characteristic of our present gen eration is indifference to spiritual things. We give very little of our time, attention and interest to the spiritual sides of our lives,"' he said.
 The Rev. Olafson brought out the fact that religion has been criti- sized by many people, this being especially true of the intelligensia who not only criticize the church but the government, schools, etc., as we'll
 Many think religion takes the joy out of life" he continued. Re ligion means fellowship and com- munion with God. Without God we have restlessness and dissatisfac- tjon, running from one place to another in search of happiness and finding it not"
 AS his concluding words, Rev. Ol- afson said: If you want your life to be worth while, communion with the Ruler of the Universe in your heart is necessary and in reading the Book of Knowledge by Christ, you will face no problem that has not been faced before"
 Following the sermon, Mrs. Kirk ham sang another vocal solo en- titled "One Fleeting Hour" ui

its vivid coloring. He is shown aboard the training ships, on the great battleships of the Pacific fleet, at play and at work, as well as in love.
 "Shipmates Forever is the most romantic as well as the most thrill ing of the service pictures.
 Never has Powell been given such an opportunity to prove his versa tility before the screen as in this picture. Not only does he sing many catchy airs in his inimitable manner, but his part calls for real dramatic action, to which he rises with genuine artistry.
 Ruby Keeler was never more win some and charming than as the orphaned officers daughter, who fights to keep Dick up to his metal as a student officer of the Navy and the traditions she loves. Miss Keeler also gives an exhibition of her dancing, which falls naturally into the plot, she earning her liv- ing by dancing in a night club.

What Part Eggs Play
In Our Diet

Did you ever stop to think what
part eggs play in our diet? Like
so many. other things we take for
granted, the egg has been staple
on our table for SO long that we
fail to give proper credit to its real
merits. When we can't afford to buy
meat or fish, we can rely on the egg
to supply. the body repair and ener-
gy producing food. In cooking, the
egg is indispensable to add food val
ue, to give flavor, to thicken, to i'm
prove texture, to give color and to
make crisp crust in deep fat fry
ing.
We have only to think of light
fluffy omelets, angel-food cakes,
custards and the many ways in
which eggs can be prepared; and al
most instantly, we realize how seri-
ously handicapped we would be
without this one ingredient and
food.
Eggs-good eggs-are meal in
themselves. No honest appetite ever

Every element necessary to the sup

form, they contain everything that
is necessary for their growth. Some

State Delegation 100
Per Cent For Bonus
No Method Provided In Measure
For Definite Method
OF Payment

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-When
the House today passed the soldiers
bonus bill by vote of 356 to SO,
the II members of North Carolina
voted solidly for the measure which
will pay 63,962 World War veterans
in the State total of $34, 622, 1920
of which 81, 4O9, 1884 will be paid
out in Mecklenburg county. This is
the first time that the bonus bill has
ever received the solid support in
the House of the Tar Heel delegation.
The argument in favor of the bill
was closed last night by Represent
alive .Doughton, chairman OF the
ways and means committee when
he concluded with the statement, Il
sincerely hope that our great hui
manitarian President may see his
way clear conscientiously to give his
support or his sanction to this meas
ure." In opening his address, Dough-
ton declared, 81 am giving this bill

It is expected that both Senators
Bailey and Reynolds will take the
lead in the Senate in supporting the
measure Bailey has already declar-
ed for a bill of the united front
character" that was today speeded
on its way to Washington; Whereas
Reynolds, who will reach Washing
ton Tuesday, after trip around the
world, has voted for the bonus bill
on every occasion, even to lining up
against the President and voting to
pass it over executive veto. Should
the President veto the bill, it is
freely predicted that it will be pass
ed over his objections.
