v (Co?>'igfit. I92J. by 1 h. Atfvaoca)
Washington, Dec. 2. This
Mitcholl case is getting on Wash
ington's nerves. It has been go
inu on for wirk.s and wifk* and
as yet then* is no end in *lght.
Every now and then a lull in the
proceedings causes t It .* court mar
tini to be all but forgotten. Thou
comes aflar?*-up like that preci
pitated bv C? neral King. who
blurted out thai a cross ?>.a mi na
tion by Colonol Mitchell's counsel
was "damned rot and ought to ho
stopped." and everybody r- mem
bers that the incid? nt is not
closed ---an yet.
No officer of the Army ever
served on a court like Iho ?nu
trying rnlotiel Mitcholl. Fsually
tbo Army is hard bolltxl, but in
this instance it seems t ?? sen>c a
national political aspt et to th?
cast- and it may bo said iu all
truth that Iho geuerala composing
the tribunal an- suffering untold
agonies in permitting tho proceed
ings to drat; along in an indefinite
and Indotcruunat** manner. What
ever else may |?e said uhout the
Army it generally makes its
courts martial short and snappyt
Delays usually may be laid to the
reviewing authorities bore in
Washington. Tho military courts
themselves usually how to the
line and id Iho shoulder straps
fall where thoy may.
Hut with t h?* Mitcholl case it
lias been vastly different. The en
tire court probably ocho?tj the un
witting remark made by Oouor.il
King but it aits stoically by its
Job, lets down tho bars and the
trial rapidly is developing into a
legal brook which may run on
forever.
Unquestionably the court would
^ have made short shift of tho
Mitcholl case if It bad not loin
I for the defendant's counsel. This
attorney is not only a Chilian but
a Congressman. The ordinary ci
vilian lawyer might have been not
a little awed by the dignity and
pomp of this unusual array of
generals, but not a Congressman.
If there is anything a Congrona
man is contcmptuouH of. It. in a
subordinate of some other branch
of the great service. The Con
gressman feels that he has the
power of life or death over all
subordinates, including generals
of tbo Army and admirals of the
Navy. The altitude plainly has
been shown by Representative1
Frank Held of Illinois, counsel foiv
Colonol Mitchell. In fact tho Con
gressman has not treat ?*l tho"
court martial as a court at all
but as Just a sort of committee
of officers, whom bo calls "You
inon." Mr. Hold probably would
be more or less Informal wilh any ;
court, but with a court martial lie
Is positively rude. It Is difficult
to say which has derived the
greater enjoyment from the trial
? the accused colonel or his de
fending counsel. Both appear al
ways to be having the time of
their lives.
The ones who are Irked are the
soldier Judges. They are being
held here away from their duties
and In many eases away from
their families. They are here on
their own expenses. The Govern
ment given then, travel pay and
L nothing more. Naturally they
? liaro grown a bit peevish and It
P Is surprising that "damned rot"
' has not interjected Itself before
this. Tho remark was decidedly
unjudicial but It was Army talk
and after all Is said and done
there has been very little Army
talk and very little Army tradi
tion in tbo trial.
Military coin ?s martial hove re-,
CClved a decided blow. Probably
there will Is- less respect for them
In the future. And once more the
department wishes the case had
been tried some place else Instead
of In th? political atmosphere of
the national capital on the eve of
a session of Coiiares*. The depart
inent probably also wishes Colore I
Mitchell hadn't selected a Con
gressman us attorney.

SPEAKS ON GOD'S i
VALUE OF A MAN
I)r. DrGuffcrelly ? lout i n
ue* His at
rhriHtian Church
Tli?- revival at the Christian
Church on Parsonage ftreet i?
'growing tu interest .
KvangcllM A. F. DeGafT* relly
brought u I it out interesting mes
sage last niuht on the ilifitu1
"God's Value of a Man." Hi* con
trasted man's value of man with
that of the Divine estimate. His
'Uxt wai MatlliPW 1212: "How
much is a man bettor than a
she* p?" He discussed man's
? value of himself from the mat"- 1
rial 1st ir. biological, ? uiumerclal,
monetary standpoint and froui
hin work i*.
! "How vastly dilferoot," said Dr.
DeGafferelly. "is God's value of a
man. l>?t us think first of man's
value In the light of the truth
that he is the linage and ?ff?prlng
of i;od. This puts hiin at once '
above the plants and animals. '
Christ discovered this tor man '
and revealed God to man in a new \
way. Think of man as capable of
holding communion with God. He
| may dwell among the nwlne, as
dtd the prodigal son. hut he" is
not one of them. He may bury'
jhis head in money ma'tlng, but
I 'man shall not live l?y bread
' alone.*
"Man is a spiritual being. That
; which brings admiration today
above all else is not brute force,
1 monetary force, mere intellectual
I force, but spiritual force. The'
greatest power is heart power.
Man was created for two worlds.
When the moral and sy'nitual de
ivelop there is a desire I i?r eternal
life.
i "We need an approbation of J
God's value of a man f? * two out- 1
standing reasons; first, to appre
ciate the awfulness and the dam
? aging effect of sin. When sin de
stroys man. It attackn the highest
work of God's creation. We need
iGod's \alue of man. secondly, to
; Inspire us to love our feltowmen. 1
God loves man because he knows
i the marvelous possibilities enfold
ed in man's soul. Christ put the
Divine estimate on man when lie
| made the supreme sacrifice and
gave Himself for man's redemp- ?
Ition. Will you accept that sacri
fice tonight?"
Tonight the sermon will be on
the subject, "A Stranger at Your
Door." "If you fall to hear this '
evangelist you are mining a pe- j
culiar privilege." says the pastor.
I "Dr. DeGafferelly was for seven;
j years the pastor of the large First J
.Christian Church at Danville, Il
linois. and resigned this Import
'ant pastorate last January to en-!
, ter this larger field of evangelism.
Ills striking personality and earn
est plea for a genuinely sane re
ligion is winning his way to th*
J hearts oi the people. I love broth
er DeGafferelly becauar he leadn
me to God and doesn't try to force
! me there. H? believe* that the
? message of God through Christ
f will draw a man to God when h
; is thiuking soberly. That Idea ap
i peals to me and I doubt if those
who are led to God otherwise will
stay long."

"I don't want (o judge anybody
and I don't mean to be personal,
but there iiv surely aome fiRmlea
or Cod in this community.'* Dr.
Kills A Fuller told the membepa
of flu- Men's Christian Federation
of Kllzabeth Cltv who hraved the
storm Wednesday morning to at
tend the federation 'a morning
phi.ver meeting.
"I thought about you men of
this federation last niKht after my
sermon." Dr. Fuller continued,
"and I wondered If you had come
to regard some of these lost soul.i
as being so hardened and hopeless
as to be hardly worth praying for.
I urge you thla morning not to
4 give t hem up. but to focua your
prayera on the very one whom
you believe the harden! to reach
and fee if Cod will not do a
mighty work through you before
this meeting closer . While there
is I If#- and the cross there la hope
for the hardest, or the moat cdm
plarent heart. I'ray for theae
seemingly hopeless onea and let
them know how your heart goes
out to tltem and yearns that they
may come to a saving knowledge
of our Lord and Savior. Jeaus
Christ
Despite threatening weather
thai settled during the service la
to u blustery drizzle, the auditor
ium of the Flrat baptist Church
was well filled Tuesday night
when Dr. Fuller, now beginning
his second week of preaching
here, spoke on the Cross of
Christ. using as his text Calatlana
t.14 "Fur be it from me to glory
nave in the Cross of our Lord Je
?uh Christ, through which the
world has been crucified unto me
and I unto the world."

"The world has seen mauy great
days," said Dr. Fuller. "There
was the day when Cod called the
universe Into existence and spun
the planeta from his flngera like
tops Into space, each held In Ita
orbit by the Invisible hands of
'gravitation.
"There was the day when Cod
moved upon the heart of Noah to
build the ark and save the race
and all life from destruction.
"There whs the day when Cod
sent the plagues upon Ugypt to
break down the stubborn will of
I'haraoh and compel him to let
Israel go.
"There were the days when the
Children of Israel were fed on
manna from heaven, when qualla
were sent to give them meat and
W lien a fountain of water gushed
forth for (hem out of the dry and
flinty rock.
"there was the day when Cod
electrified Slatmi to protect It
from the touch of unhallowed
feet and carved with hla own
hands the decalogue upon tablets
of stone, giving them to Moses aa
the inundation for all law and alk
time.
"There were the days when
Cod spoke through his prophets
to unroll the years and reveal
plainly the events of the future.
"Hut the day of days In all the
leeords of time was the Day when
Cod's Only Uegotten Son was lift
ed upon m splintery Cross on Cal
vary and when (hat emblem of Ig
nominy and shame was made the
embl? m of the only true and abso
lute religion the world will ever
know On that day the Old Tes
tament rrarked like a nut and the
kernel of tevelation was laid bare
in on ? Divine Kvent toward which
the whole creation had moved
from l he beginning.

" 'hi the Cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of

Clusters round that Head Divine.'
"There are not enough demons
In or out of hell to shake the
