PURPOSE OF MOBILIZATION "Maneuver Movement" to Protect American Llve» and Property—The President Expects to be Attacked by Representatives In Congrey. Washington.—ln a conference with Senator Cullom, chairman of the sen ate committee on foreign relations and other members of that committee, President Taft gav# assurance that whaever might be the turn of affairs on the Mexican border, no act of hos tility amounting to a declaration ot war would be taken without folly ad vising Congress. The conference was sought by the President for tho purpose of ac quainting the members of the commit tee with the siauation on the frontier. The President gave the senators to understated that his principal purpose In mobilizing the army had been to protect American lives and American property in Mexico in case the neces sity should arise for such action. He assured his callers that Congress should be fully advised as to any im portant steps that might be taken and was especially emphatic In declaring that there would be no approach to a declaration of war without, taking Congress into his confidence. It is understood that the members of tho foreign relations committee generally expressed approval of tho stjeps taken and conldenco In the chief exceutive. President Taft expects that despite the events which he regards as having entirely Justified his course in mobiliz ing the "maneuver dvlslon," he will be attacked probably in both the sen ate and house. He told the members of the foreign affairs committee that ho felt perfectly secure In his posi tion, however, and that tho prospec tive attacks caused him not the slight est worry. Polltlcial considerations, either favorable or adverse, tho Presi dent declared, had not entered into the situation In any way whatever. French Dentists' New Laws. Washington.—With a view to plac ing the dental profession on a higher plane, France has enacted more strin gent requirements for dentists to pass before acquiring a license to practice in that country, so American dentists who are contemplating practicing In France will find the laws more difll cut than hitherto, according to con sular reports. The American dentist has long reigned supreme In his profession in France. Meat Packers to Test Trust Law. Chicago.— Attorneys for ton Chica go meat packers, indicted on a charge of having violated the Sherman anti trust law, indicated that they would at tack the validity of tho law in a demur rer to the Indictments before United States District Judge Carpenter. The packers' cotiscl raise the points that the act of Congress, with the vio lation of which the puckers are charg ed, "does not create any crime, iib it does not define any offense against the United States with sufficient cer tainty to inform the defendants of the nature or the offense," and that the description of the offense is not one by which these defendants aro able to know in advance whether the acts charged are criminal, therefore Invalid. Tho other seven points in tho Infor mation are confined to technical ob jections to the indictments themselves Doctor Changed His Mind. Chattanooga.™ Dr. it. C. Witthaus of New York was recalled and asked re garding tho 13-ense-f of caffeine pois oning which he had reported In his bock. During the course of his testi mony th'e witness stated that since writing the book he had changed his mind as to the properties contained In caffeine. He was asked to state when this.change of mind had occurred. He was unable" to give the date. Experts continue testimony In coca cola case. Many have changed their minds regarding caffeine. New Treaty With England. Washington.—Such rapid progress Is being made in drafting the new ar bitration treaty with Great Britain that President Taft expressed tho hope that he will be able to submit tho document to the senate at the coming extra session of Congress. The work of preparing the treaty is In the hands of Secretary of Sate Knox and tho British ambassador, Mr. Bryce, and the frair.ers of the treaty hope to make It a model for all such treaties In the future for all countries. Opinion Boon on Trust Cases. Washington.—The Supreme Court of the United States, appreciative *of general Anxiety for an early opinion in the so-called "trust cases," advanc ed their usual Easter recess so as to devote their time earlier in the year to a settlement of the controversy. The fact that the court has rend ered comparatively few opinions since the argument of the "trust cases" has led to the presumption that its members are devoting themselves largely to a consideration ot these "b'g" cases. TAR ItEtL PUBLIC TALK CREAM OP CURRENT COUNTY EVENTS CLIPPED AND CON DENSED IN A COLUMN. RECORD OF THE POSTAI BANKS This Banking System le a Success From the Beginning. Salisbury.—Postmaster James H. Ramsay haa a statement which he has received from Secretary T. L. Weed of the board of trustees of the postal savings system, showing sta tistics covering the operations of the postal saving's banks at the 48 offices now operating the system at the close of business February 28. The mining city of Leadville, Colo., was a big leader with 362 open ac counts; total amount on deposit, $21,- 263; average balance for each de positor, $68.71. Anaconda, Montana, another great mining center, came second with 266 open accounts, $13.- 760 on deposit, an average balance for each depositor of $53.71. Carthage, Missouri, was third on the list. There were 27 offices with more than SI,OOO on deposit, of which Brunswick, Ga., was the last with $l,OlB. Salisbury came thirty-third on the list with 27 open accoimts, $792 on deposit, a to tal balance for each depositor or $29.- 33. Salisbury was sandwiched In be tween New Iberia, and Mont peller, Vt. At the foot of the proces sion was Newberry, 8. C., with 18 df> posltors, $199 on deposit, and an aveJ agre balance for each depositor of $11.05. Just ahead of the Palmetto town was Clifton Forge, Va., with Dover, Del., third from the bottom. The total number of open accounts $133,869; average balance for each depositor of $36.54. Tho statistical summary shows that the total number of open accounts had been 3,923, of which 259 of these had been closed. Tho total number of separate de positors was 6,861, and the average amount of each deposit was $21.60. The population of the 48 towns and cities, where the system Is in opera tion Is 372,000, representing only one two hundred and forty-fifth part of the population of the United States. It la shown that," If, after postal sav ings banks are established at all money order postofflces so as to ex tend the service to people throughout the entire country, the service Is pa tronized In the same proportion as it has been nt the 48 depository ofllceß now In operation, the total amount on deposit after one year of operation would be very near $200,000,000. ♦ Baptist Woman's Missionary Work.

EUSHA HEALS I NAAMAN May Sckael Laossa for Apr. Z, 1911 Specially Arranged (or This Paper LESSON TEXT—II Kings t. Memory rerses IS. 14. GOLDEN TEXT—"Look unto me. and be ya aaved, all the ends of the earth; for I am Qod. and there Is none else."— (aa. 45:22. TIME—Most scholars place this event In the reign of Jehoram, the aon of Ahab, king of Israel, who reifned B. C. 904—KM. Others arrue that It occurred In the relcn of Jehoahas, B. C. 864-MB. PLACE —Damascus, the capital of Sy ria. the oldest city In the world, famed (or Its swords. "Damascus blades," and for Its silks, "damask."- Samaria, tha capital of Israel, about 110 miles dis tant. The miracles of Ellsha were nearly all miracles of kindly helpfulness. What were some of these? \ Those im mediately preceding and following our lesson: healing the unhealthful wa ters of a spring; bringing water into a dry valley for the aid of the three kings; paying a poor widow's dtebts by increasing her oil supply; restoring to life the son of the Shunammlte woman; making healthful some pot' tage Into whidh a poisonous plant had been put; feeding a hundred men with 20 barley cakes and a few ears of corn— this and the preceding being in time of famine;' healing Naaman; making a lost ax head return to the surface of the water. Who was Naaman? He was com mander-in-chief under the king of Sy ria, Benhgdad 11. Benhadad, who had been wont In his youth and middle age to lead his armies into the field in person, seems now in his old age to have found it necessary to entrust the command to a general. Naaman had gained renown by freeing his country from a powerful foe, probably Assyria, for (he black obelisk mentions wars of the Assyrians under Shalmaneicr 11. again Israel and Denhadad. Honored and powerful, what was the flaw In Naaman's fortune? He was a leper. Leprosy Is of slow develop ment, arid as Naaman retained hi 3 military commtivi his malady cannot have reached a very advanced stage. It is not likely. In any case, that tha Syrians observed the same strict rules regarding it as tho Jews. Leprosy, however, Is a terrible disease, fitly used throughout the Bible as the sym bol of sin and death. The disease is contagious. It is most loathsome. It Is lncurable ( at least In the present state of our knowledge. Sin Is cur able, but not by man. " Naaman waa a great man, with a great need; and God prepared a great deliverance for him, as he has a great dpllverance for all the great needs of his children. But It was brought about by four very simple agencies, Only inferior artists make a parade of complicated processes; the most skill ful workers use few tools and unpre tentious methods, and God is the moat skillful of all artists. Why did Ellsha bid Naaman to wash seven times in the river Jordan? To test and strengthen his faith. Tho Journey would give him time for medi tation. for the nearest point of the Jordan was 25 miles In a straight line, but much farther In distance to be traveled, from tho winding of the ra vines down which it must be reached. Moreover, the simplicity of the act would turn Naaman's" thoughts away from outward forms to the true God. He would be sure that the water ltselJ dlil not accomplish the cure, else there would be no lepers In Israel. And ho would not, at the distance of 25 miles, be likely to ascribe the cure to tho prophet. Why was Naaman angry nt this message? How WHS he to tell that this man of God did not design to mock him by sending him on a fool'a errand, so that he would come back aa a laughing-stock both to the Israelites and to his own people? Naaman had expected the prophet himself to come forth respectfully and "wave his hand over the place" and go through soma mystic ceremony. The sting lay in tho fact that the prophet himself took no part In the euro; that. Instead of being proud to have so augußt a pa tient, he had calmly handed him ovei to one of his assistant physicians —to the medical skill of the waters of Jor* dan. . As Naaman went away in a raga how was he put in a more sensible frame of mind? By one of his serv ants ; Naaman 'seems to have had great fortune in his servants. My fa ther, said the servant with respectful affection, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it? Yes! Of course he would, and the greater the better. What was the result of Naaman's obedience? The result thaf always cornea when men obey God'a com mands, he was instantly and com« pletely cleansed from his leprosy. It is a shamo that this beautiful story must close with a recital of Naa man's perfidy. We may be sure that It would never have been Inserted if the tale were not a true one. Gehasi is the Old Testament Judas. Gehad misrepresented the true religion to Naaman and tha Byrlan nation. The stqry of Naaman has been said to be the beat illustration In the Old Testament of salvation from sin. How Is this? It indicates the hideouaness of sin. Sin la like a leprosy, eating, insidious, defiling, mutilating, disfig uring. It la the disease most to be dreaded. It Indicatea the universality of aln. No rank la exempt from the curse snrt no oondltlon of Ufa. It pic turea falser views regarding salvation from sin. Men seek the wrong means of aalvatlon. as Naaman was sent to Jehoram instead of Ellsha Men en tertain their own Ideas of salvation ■Aa want it accom "*4 bvttelr WfiT K«jcp Watch on the Tuberculous. The Italian government, on acooont of the number of tubercnlesia cases among tile Italian emigrants sent back from America, has appointed boards of examiners In the seaports, whose duty It is to report the arrival of tuberculous persons. These are then kept under observation in those places whefo they settle, to prevent further spread of the disease. The erection of new sanltoria and other tuberculosis Institutions is being urged in Italy, anl the number of beds for consumptives has been con siderably increased ' in different places.
