Todav tho United Stutcs bun a neutrality law, the chief function of' which Is to keep us out of Involve ments In tho current war. Yet, the stato department still finds it necessary from tlmo to time to dispatch curt little notes, particul arly to Britain, reminding the Eng lish that, for all theoretical pur poses, the seas are still free. The prosent session of congress has Its eye on tho situation. Ac cording to Washington Columnist Bruce C'nttun, Representative .Mel vln Mans (Rep., Minn.) will short ly Introduce a bill asking congress to halt oxports of wiir mutorlnls from this country to any nation which Is guilty of seizing American vessels lllegully or which holds such vussols for unreasonable lengths of time. , ...

The I iiio and the beautiful must be crowned by the good, if men are to become full sons of God, and heirs of Ills riches. In Christ likeness Is tho secret of charac ter, tho secret of happiness, the secret of the world's salvation, to be good. It means more than to be perfect in one's beliefs, or to be reverent and sincere wor shiper, or to be u winner In tho personnl fight against the lust of the I'iesh and the lust of I he eyes and the pride of life'. It means to be alive and grow ing, to be brave and persistent, to bo kind and thoughirul, to bo honest and loyul, to be clean, to be loving anil unsoirish, to be broad and generous, who Is suf ficient for these things. To help us to be good, In secret and in public, to be good in. home and school, good to our enemies. This Is what Christ gave Him self for the world. Amen.

HAPPENED CAPTAIN BENNING, United States intelligence officer, brings news to Washington of a proposed Invasion of the United States by Van Hasaek, military dictator of Mexico. Benning was known In Mexico as BroinliU, who was held abroad and' whose passport Ben ning used. In Mexico he had met the Austrian, Flncke, and Italian, Colonel Bogglo of the air force. Army and navy departments are a beehive of activity, with GENERAL, HAGUE, chief of staff of the army and COLONEL FLAGWILL, chief of military Intelligence. Reports of air raid come from New Orleans, Galveston and San Antonio. The United States is at war. CHAPTER X Until those first bombs crashed on Fort Sam Houston there had been no reports given to the pub lic of the day s alarming rumors along the Rio Grande. Benning caught the first symp toms of coming panic along the streets of Washington as his cub raced to the Munitions building. Pedestrians shouted the news In raucous, overwrought voices, or stood In empty gaping under the shock of a now reality that bedev iled all reason. BenniliK leaned tenselv forward as if to add his tension to the speed of the cab. The radio screeched on. From time to time the announcer asked that no more telephone calls be attempted. In formation would be given to all over tho air as fast as received.
