Dispatch News Bureau, Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 29th. Raleigh's Methodist ministers are preparing to leave Tuesday for Wil mington, where the North Carolina conference will be hold its sessions this year. The work of 1915 has been rounded out and the Methodists like the Bap-j tists find that their people have been liberal. They have done one of the best year's- work They cannot say that the record has been established because the entire report is not in. But the church has gained. Bishop John C. Kilgo is to preside over the conference. It will be his first meeting as Bishop over his own people. He has been attending alJ the sessions in both divisions until he assumed the high office and his duties have taken him to other States.

Maddry, pastor or the Baptist Tabernacle church last night preaching to the three councils of the Junior Order, declared himself against the proposed heavy armament of the United States and warned his people that failure to live up to it. ideals will bring this country to the level of all nations who have lost their opportunity. "America, the Moral and Spiritual Trustee of the Nations" was the sub ject based upon Deuteronomy 1:21. The incident was the coming of the. children of Israel to Kadesh-Barnea on the southern border of Palestine . Twelve spies had been sent out to view the land. . Ten brought back an ad verse report and two insisted that they could go up and possess the land. "Isreal rebelled against God that day and he turned them back into the wil derness to wander for forty years until that whole generation had per ished." "I believe, as a nation, we stand at Kadesh-Barnes, the crises hour in our history as a nation," he continued. "Shall we 'go up and possess the land' for our Lord and for the good of ail mankind, or shall we turn back to wander in the wilderness for genera tions?" The minister declared that God has set apart this nation for a high des tiny. "Has he not given to men of America a world mission?" he asked "and do you believe thaat America is the God-appointed trustee for all the nations? What does the world Ar mageddon portend for America? On this Thanksgiving occasion, may we not ask ourselves why God has so blessed us? Why such unbounded prosperity? Why are the nations of Europe so cursed and blighted by war? Why has He vouchesafed us such a blessed peace. Even the hot blood and money lords could not force our President into a disgraceful war with bleeding, dying Mexico!" Mr. Maddry then declared the mis sion of this nation. He conceived it to be something bigger than the com mercialization of the calamity abroad. "Shall we in the hour of our j destiny see nothing greater than the traffic in arms?" he asked. "If Am erica fails as the trustee of the nations she will fail as all the great nations are failing." He gave a chapter from the history of this country. He declared that God has placed around it the seas that ; separate it with three thousand miles of water from any country abroad. It protection is therefore complete and its danger of attcak slight even though it had no armies and navies "Besides, why leave God out?" he asked. "God's purposes were shown in the very discovery of America," he sahi.

The tne Federal Court here today. The government rested late Saturday. Watson was prepared to argue that the entire copies of the issues of his publication containing the alleged ob scene matter and not merely articles but brought it before the court late Saturday on a different point. It had been indicated that Watson, acting as his own leading counsel, would not place any witnesses, on the stand, though he might testify him self. Should the defense use no wit nesses the case is expected to go to the jury late today or tomorrow Kobe, Japan, November 29 . No visitor who enters Kobe by sea can fail to observe the great activity in shipbuilding at this port The most heavily capitalized ship yard in Ja pan is located here, and all its docks are filled with work. Three large ships and many smaller ones are in course of construction. Electrical steel riveters keep up a constant din which can be heard far out at gea In June there we're forty-four ships, aggregating 188,000 tons in the hands of Japanese builders and the tonnage has increased considerably since that time, although the exact figures are not available. All Japanese ship yards have orders which will keep tthmn at hisrh nressnr for over a vear. Tne scarcity of cargo space which tne entire world is feeling, has thrown much business into the Japanese ship yards. The ship yard at Osaka is reported to have nearly 100,000 tons of steel shins in course of construction. It is estimated that there is a tonnage of 75,000 in course of construction here in Kobe- and small yards in various ports probably have a tonnage of 25, 000 under way. Prices for ships have risen at amaz ing rates. Freight is congested at practically every important port in the Far East. In giving orders, the shipping concerns inquire about the speed with which a commission can be executed rather than the charge. It is rumored that the right of placing orders is now being sold and bought at a high premium by those .interested" in shipbuilding transactions. "What lovely hands Mrs. Flummery has."

TO RESTRICT THE SALE OF LIQUOR Christiania, Norway Nov . 29 A bill restricting and regulating the sale of liquor has been prepared by a. gov ernment committee, and 'as it has the support of two-thirds of the members of the newly elected Norwegian paria ment, it will soon be enacted into law . Total prohibition has been rejected by the committee as impossible to en force and detrimental to real temper ance But it is felt that the sale j strong liquor should .be strictly con trolled. Beer containing less than three per cent, of alcohol is regarded not only as a harmless but a beneflcal drink. Light wines will also be favor ed. The strong drinks will be dealt with according totheir relation with, the grosser forms of drinking. The teetotalers, however, are not satisfied with the bill as drawn, and are trying to bring pressure on parlia ment for state wide prohibition . Man members of parliament, to win the votes of the teetotalers, pledged them selves to extreme measures whllo personally favoring the moderate . These men may be forced to vote for absolute prohibition because of their pledges, with the result that the pro posed bill may be amended to a some what severe form.
