NEW YORK, Nov. 3 G.N.SO.
Foreign interest in the American
Presidential election was clearly
shown today as news was cabled
by press associations and special
correspondents to newspapers
throughout the world.
While Americans in Paris, Lon
don and Berlin flocked to express
company offices and favorite bars
to pick up all available results,
foreign publications requested a
large volume of copy" for their
own national readers.
The large and influential Tokyo
newspaper, Yomiuri Shimbun, late
last night requested International
News Service to arrange a long
distance telephone call to enable
its correspondent to transmit
lastrminute indications. The call
lasted for 26 minutes at a cost Of
$2s6.2O.
In London, the American cleo
ton was given prominence even
over King Edwards Inauguration
of his first parliament, while in
Paris numerous organizations
patronized by Americans made
special arrangements to supply re
turns throughout the day.
Prominent newspaper in Britain,
France, Germany, CZechoslovakia,
Sweden, Switzerland, South Africa,
Australia, Austria and the Ha.

With support Of the Treasury and

Of President Roosevelt. the House

mission, he continued, they intend to
pay of these obligations In cheaper
dollars, while claiming the profit Of
the devaluation themselves.
This, the Representative insisted,
doesn't make sense and, sure enough,
when the question arose OF actually
appropriating the $23 .000,0O0, others
in Congress adopted the same view
point,
This Winter Senator Adams, Demo-
crat, of Colorado, introduced a bill to
repeal the authorization and hearings
on 1t now are being planned by the
Senate Committee on Banking and
Currency. Senator Adams admits to
the belief that the Philippines don't
deserve any pront on tnier, gold be-
cause they didn't have any gold.

Open renewal is scheduled soon OF
the controversy over whether the
Philippine government should receive
preferential treatment in the matter
of devaluation of the American dollar.
Seemingly, decision was reached
in the Spring of 1884, when Congress
decided in favor of the Philippines
to the extent of authorizing an award
of $23,862, ,750.78. Before an appro-
priation could be made, however, new
opposition arose and no funds ever
were made available to pay of the
obligation"
The background of the controversy
arises in the circumstance that the
Philippine government had some $685.
100000 on deposit in United States
banks on January 81, 1884, the date
on which President Roosevelt pro-
claimed the dollar to be worth no
more than so per cent of its former
gold value.
Marked for Reserve.
The Philippine deposits here we're
marked as a reserve for their cur
rency with the Philippine peso being
statutorily pegged to the American
dollar in the ratio of two for one.
With devaluation of the dollar the
peso was still worth so cents. but 1t
dropped in exchange value with re-
lationship to foreign currencies, a
circumstance which Filipinos claimed
strengthened their claim for COM
pensation from the United States.
Briefly, the Philippine claim was
that their s56,ooo.000 in gold certifl-

Net Pay Subject to Levy
During 1885 Is Shown

To help Government employees fig

base pay on their income tax returns
for the 5 per cent pay cut effective
during January, February and March
of last year, a special table has beer
prepared in the Office of the deputy
collector of Internal Revenue, in thu

was restored April /.

The table Is for those employees
whose base pay continued the same
throughout the year. Those persons
who received a promotion, reduction
in pay, or dismissal, will just have to
figure it out for themselves. It's not
in the table.
Also, it was explained. Government
people should be careful to include in
their income tax return, the retire
ment deduction. Although this money
is not received by Government people
at this time, but is set aside in fund
for their retirement, it must be in
cluded as income, for the present. for
purposes of taxation.

similar salary scattered over the /:

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
PHILIPS MISSIONARY LABORS
By HIGHT C. MOORE ..,

Thence, at the word of the angel
he went away to the lowlands
skirting the Mediterranean Sea
where by personal work he won
to Christ visiting foreigner from
far up in Africa.
THE EVANGELIST
Believing the Bible. Philip, one
of the deacons in the church at
Jerusalem, had entered upon
evangelistic work in the region
round about that city. While on
very successful mission among
the Samaritans he received a call
to the south, perhaps a hundred
miles away on the desert road
from Jerusalem to GAIA. Sudden
and mysterious as was the call by
the angel of the Lord, Philip in
stantly obeyed. He believed God
as Abraham did when called out
of Chaldea to Canaan.
THE ETHIOPIAN
Reading the Bible. Soon Philip
encountered an eminent Ethiopian
who was returning home from a
visit to Jerusalem. He was a ma
tive of the rich region bordering
on the banks of. the upper Nile.
He was a man of great authority
under Candace, which was the of
fetal name of the queen of the
country. In fact, he occupied a
position in the kingdom which to-
day would correspond to the secre-
tary of the treasury of chancellor
of the eXchequer. He was, there
fore, a man of great prominence,
ability, and influence. 1t is credit
able to the Ethiopian that he
made a journey to Jerusalem to
worship. No doubt there were
many Jews in his country. He
was certainly acquainted with the
Hebrew Scriptures then eXtant in
the Septuagint version-the trans
lation made at Alexandria, and
the version used by Christ and
the apostles. On the return jour
ney from Jerusalem he was read
ing the book of Isiah, relieving the
tedium of the trip and also salts
fying his thirst for the truth.
THE CONVERSATION
Understanding the Bible. The
meeting of the evangelist and the
Ethiopian resulted in an eventfu
interview. Said the Spirit unto
Philip: $50 near, and join thyselt
to this chariot" How interesting
and providential it was: The read
ing Of the roll, the earnestness OF
the Ethiopian, the prompting OF
Philip. Of course, Philip quickly
obeyed; he actually "ran to him. ,
He heard the Ethiopian reading
the words of the prophet and said
"Understandest thou what thou
readest?" How could the Ethio'
plan understand without an inter,
prefer? Realizing that Philip
could help him, "he desired Philip
that he would come up and sit
with him." The place of the read
ing was the 53rd chapter of Isiat

The golden text will be from l
John 4 g. "He that loveth not
knoweth not God; for God is
love-"
Among the citations which COM
prise the lesson-sermon is the fol
lowing from the Bible: ''In this
was manifested the love of God
toward us, because that God sent
his only begotten Son into the
world, that we might live through
him. Herein is love, not that we
loved, God but that he loved US,
and sent his Son to be the propi-
tiation for our SINS" { John 4:9,
10).
The lesson-sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health With Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
''In an age of ecclesiastical des-
potism, Jesus introduced the
teaching and practice of Chris
tianity, affording the proof OF
Christianity's truth and love; but
to reach his example and to test
its unerring science according to
his rule, healing sickness, sis, and

rather than personality or the
