torney general and one of the
patronage dispensers under Cool
idge; also the famous Perry How

delegate wangler.
Howard was an important figure
in the pre-convention Hoover cam
paign Of 1928 and has ridden herd
on southern delegate groups at
many COP conventions.
Moreover Taft, personally, is let
ting no grass grow under his feet.
Last week, while attention was
focused on the closing rounds
of the neutrality battle, he had
quiet luncheon in the Capitol

Skipping across the U. S.-Canadian
border between the Province of Quebec
and State of Maine is going to be pretty
difficult henceforth. Fearing that there
might be efforts to enter and leave Can
ada by this means of access authorities
have started work to clear 20-foot wide
strip all the way along the boundary
line There won't be any trees or other
objects to obstruct clear view of the
added border guards who will be on the
qui vive for "spies'. This is wartime
and Canada has proclaimed state OF
war existing, so anything could happen.

American Minister to Norway, as
having high presumed the Nor
wegian government into intercept
ing the City of Flint.
State Department records show,
however, that Mrs. Hartman,
although q charming diplomat,
was as much surprised when Nor
way took the City Of Flint as any
one in the State Department.
In fact, the State Department
tried to get hold of Mrs. Harri-
man at the time the incident hap
pened, but she was asleep. First
news received by the State De-
partment came from the press
associations, not from Daisy.
NEUTRALITY KINKS
A big acknowledgements debate
has been taking place in the State
Department as to whether the
inundated areas under the League
of Nations should be included in
the war zone barred to American
shipping. :.
Chief countries affected would
be Palestine, which Is inundated
by the League to Great Britain,
and Syria, which is inundated to
France.
So far. the inside debate has
favored leaving these countries ont
of the war zone even though gov
erned by belligerents. Also ex-
empt from the war zone, TO date,
are Gibraltar. the British naval
base at the mouth Of the Medi-
terranean, and Algiers on the
French coast of North Africa.
There would be nothing to pre-
vent American vessels, under the
present war coming, from carrying
goods to Gibraltar or Algiers, then
transferring them to French or
British bottoms.
From the viewpoint Of Ameri-
can war risk, however, the sub
marine menace off the coast Of
Spain and near thhe entrance
to Gibraltar may be considerable.
NOTE-A kink in the new neu-
trality act unnoticed by most peo-
pie is the fact that German
could easily purchase airplanes IN
California, rush them by fast
Japanese steamer to the Japanese
port Of Dairen, Manchukuo, thence
on the Trans Siberian railroad to
Germany. Since U. s. air fac
tories are on the Pacific coast, this

a fiery furnace, as a punishment,
but the power of Almighty God
protected them and they came
forth from the furnace without
harm. Daniel 3:1-28) That was a
striking example of how God pro-
tects those that trust in Him and
refuse to yield to the devil religion.
In America, where Fascism or to-
talitarian rule Is rapidly coming TO
the fore, fanatical religionists at
tempt to compel school children
who believe in God and in Christ
to salute the flag and sing so-called
patriotic songs" and thus give wor-
ship to a thing and obeisance to q
creature or thing. Such Is viola
ton Of Gods law; and when the
nation insists that such law Of the
land must be obeyed regardless OF
ones faith in God, that nation Is
putting the state above Jehovah
God. Beyond any question OF
doubt the practice Of compulsory
flag -saluting shows that many Of
the states Of America, and the ma
tions, are now putting the state
above Jehovah God. Thus Amer
lea takes her place amongst those
nations which have, forgotten God.
And what shall be the result? 1.-THE
wicked shall be turned into hell,
and all the nations that forget
God" Psalm GIT.
Those who believe in Jehovah
God and trust implicitly in Him
know what will be the final result.
When confronted with the law OF
the state the obedience to which
would compel one to violate Gods
law, Christians who truly follow the
Lord Jesus Christ say, as did the
/, faithful men of old and the early
apostles: I'VE will obey God rather
than men," (Acts $500 1.-THE God
whom we serve is able to deliver us"

WRITES DISCIPLE OF
JEHOVAH
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
The early settlers Of America sin
cerely trusted in Jehovah God. The
rulers Of European countries under
the influence Of the Devil MADE II
impossible for the people to freely
worship God, and the result was
that the sincere men who could es-
cane fled to the wilds Of America
and there founded nation where
they might worship God, and IN
freedom and according to their own
conscience and without fear or
hindrance. The principles OF free
dom of worship were embodied IN
the fundamental law Of the new
land of America. For years there
after the legislative and judicial de-
partments Of the government put
Almighty God and His Word above
the state, and when a law was pro-
posed or was enacted which was
contrary to the Word Of Almighty
God, that law was declared by the
courts to be void and Of no effect.
Since 1918, which date marks the
end of the World War, the woes
upon the nations, including Amer
lea have greatly increased, and such
Is exactly as foretold by the Lord
concerning this time. and the rea-
son therefore is given in these
words: WOE to the .inhabiters OF
the earth, and of the sea! for the
devil Is come down unto you, hav-
ing great wrath. because he know
eth that he hath but short time"
Revelation 1919. The nations Of
Europe, which have professed to
serve God, have fallen entirely
away from God. Cruel and arbitra-
ry dictators have taken over con-
troll Of Europe. Freedom Of wor-
ship OF Almighty God Ia denied the
people BY such dictators. All Of
such totalitarian governments put

A. The odor may be reduced by
aeration-passing the water In a

the smell is absorbed by surround

the water through air, or let 1t
trickle over beds Of coke, Stats or

to actually remove the hydrogen
sulphide, which Is soluble.

Selected Poem
SEASCAPE

Gertrude Callaghan in the New York Times)
I love this place of whistling boats
And far long reach of seas,
And woodsmoke on a rainy day
And cedar in the trees.
love this place of sea and sky
And dune grass in the sun,
Where running tide and wind and fog
Make talk when day is done.
love this wind-swept storm-swept shore
Where curling breakers foam,
And thank the god of island-folk
Who call seacoast home.
