Russian officer The case began in 1906 It proved to turn upon the prowess of Gen Stoessels wife as queen of the Port Arthur provision trust during the Japanese siege of that place Mme Stoessel had already withstood the attacks of beleaguered civilians who complained to the government that after she had worked a corner in fowls she got her husband as commandant of the fortress to fix the selling price of eggs in Port Arthur Mme Rouddky informed the court that at the outbreak of the war she owned a cow and two calves When the siege began she left Port Arthur and handed over her dairy business to her husband who died Mme Stoessel thereupon appropriated her cow The plaintiff estimated that Mme Stoessel sold a thousand rubles worth of milk before selling the animal for 120 rubles Mme Stoessel admitted selling the cow but declared she had given all the milk to the wounded Moreover the cow she said was injured when she found it The court decided that she must refund the price of the cow 120

Street Fights Follow Opening of the French Electoral Campaign in Saint diamond Saint diamond France April 10 The opening of the electoral campaign here today by Premier Briand was marked by violent counter demonstrations by anarchist and revolutionary groups who interrupted the premiers speech to his constituents by smashing windows and firing revolvers Premier Briands address was infused with the spirit of moderation and peace urging social reforms by pacific methods The republic he said owes to ail equal justice and liberty She cannot make herself a persecutor without failing in essential principles At this point the premiers words were drowned by the crash of a shower of bricks through the windows ana tne cracking of reyolvers The speaker Continued and outlined the governments program In which electoral reform occupied a prominent place Measures to which attention will be given he said include the proper definition of the status of the state empToyes in order to prevent a recurrence of the recent postal strikes and the establishment of a system of arbitration between workmen and employers calculated to obviate strikes For internal peace said the premier 13 as important

predict shall come in our day or not we hold that they win come and be in full comportment with these prophetic pictures They were surely written for our instruction II Timothy ili16 And as Bible students we do well to take heed to every Item of the divine revelation that thus we may keen ourselves in touch with the Infinite One and in sympathy with all the features of His great and wonderful program Let us note the particulars of the psalm in detail God Is jur refuge and strength a very present help in trouble Psalms xlvil How beautiful How comforting How strengthening Those who hae entered into covenant relationship with God through Christ through faith and consecration and who are abiding in His love may feel serene in any trouble in every trouble not merely in the final

used the wrath of man to praise hlmfandithe remainder He restrained Similarly God previouslyraised Joseph ta the governorship of Egypt for His own purposes The prophet describes the tumult of that day of overwhelming trouble when Gods kingdom will be established saying of the sea that will swallow up the mountains The waters roar and be troubled the mountains shake with the swelling thereof Psalm xlvl3 It Is probably true that such socialistic and anarchistic roarings have many times in the past caused the kingdoms of earth and their rulers to tremble But some day accord ing tothe Scriptures the final catastrophe will occur How near that day may be who can tell Quite a good many earnest Bible students concur in the thought that such a climax is indicated in the nrophe cies for the year

those who would harass the minds of our fellows with feat Rather would we point them to the fact that behind this cloud of trouble there Is a glorious silver lining of millennial j6y and blessing for

people will be preserved from fear and doubt and misunderstanding of the events of that time of trouble and that their faith will en able them to triumph at a time when others will be In great distress and perplexity Luke ixi26 Raging of the Gentiles Beginning with the sixth verse the prophet gives a brief synoptical picture of the time of trouble and its consummation and the Inauguration of universal peace The heathen Gentile peoples raged 1 These words describe the tumult which wiU prevail among humanity in the great time of trouble before the climax is reached Raging angry voices arise frompubifc meetings and In the more private meetings of the lodges of labor and capital and through the columns of the press to the extent permitted In Germany the raging press for some time has been muzzled The same Is true in other natiohs In Great Britain In the United States and in France there is a fear of tumult through public press raging and everything possible is done to restrain it Whoever sees that anarchy is the most dreadful terror confronting civilization must realize the wisdom of reasonable restraints upon his own tongue and upon the tongues of others Nevertheless the Scriptures sbow us that all effort to suppress the tumult and the angry voices of men selfishly raging out against each other will fail The prophetic picture continues God uttered His voice the earth

Unipn and presided over byt Senator Elmer Burketti of Nebraska I Col Bains subject was JThe Defeat of the4 Nations Dragon He likened the drink habit to a greatred dragon that was slowly trampling the lifeand prosperity out of communities in which it is allowed toilvei In part hesaid TheVork tf the CrV UJ inthe last half century cannot be too strongly commended This organization withthe helpof tonsof literature and speeches without number has slowly been rlng lngthe nation to a realizing sense of the great danger it is facing Saloon in South Panic Stricken I am a Southern man andwhen the cause of total abstinence was first espoused Isald It was impossible for the South everito go dry From time Immemorial jit has been the stronghold of the liquor traffic It bred a race of men who considered interference In their likes and dislikes an lrisult to themselves and to thevcommunity When I first started speaking myjife was1 constantly irrdanger At the present time I can go anywhere in Kentucky orthfrougb the South and not only will I be In no dangerpersonally but my discourse will be attentively heard Throughout that portion of the country the saloon is panic stricken and the South as a whole is slowly but surely going dryt The saloon Is one of the greatest crime centers that any community can harbor It is in the saloon that all the dastardly plots against the peace and well being of the community are hatched If any one doubts the truth ot this asser tion I can point Jto the fact that in times of great calamities or catastro phles when a town Is under martial law in nine cases out of then the first order that goes forth is to close the saloons Saloons in District Must Go Saloons ar bound to eo fn the Dis trict because the seeds of their abolition were planted jears ago Every year it Decomes harder and harder for a saloon keeper to procure a license The author ities say Make your business a model one or you cant rVin it at all I want to call on the people of the District of Columbia to sweep away their saloons and when they have done It there will be as much chance qf the traffic regain ing its nom as it is to send out a counterfeit note as the real
