WASHINGTON. April 27. Ten years'
work of the laymen's missionary move
ment, both in the L'nited States and
abroad, was reviewed today by speak
ers at the National congress of the
movement, now in session.
It was announced that since the
movement began In 1906 it had tremen
dously increased the amount of mission
collections and had aroused an interest
In missionary work never before shown
by business men. One speaker de
scribed the present as a million-dollar
aire In which mission gifts of Jl. 000. 000
are far from unusual.
Missionaries, home after years
abroad, described opportunities in
Asia and Africa. The Christian religion
and civilization no hand in hand in
the Orient and the Near East, said
George Sherwood Eddy, secretary for
Asia for the international committee
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion. "Japan has recognized Christianity
s one of the great supports of na
tional life." Mr. Kddy said. "A mighty
revival has swept Korea and the na
tion has been transformed. China is
open to the gospel and her officials
and students are considering its
claims.
"Turkey and the Near East will be
reconstructed after the war and the
door will be open before us. Asia's
great intellectual awakening is ten
fold greater than that which took
place In Europe during the renaissance."

JOINT ACTION IS FORECAST
Inter eiitionis-ls on Holder Think
Ilnak Will He Avoided.
EL PASO.. Tex., April 27. Hope that
the coming conference between General
Obrcgon, representing Mexico, and Gen
erals Scott and Funston. representing
the United States, will end all talk of
intervention in Mexico was the feeling
prevalent among Mexican officials In
Juarez and El Paso tonight.
None would venture the belief that
this would be the" outcome of the meet
ing. However, one official who has
been in constant touch with the border
situation anet has held many confer
ences with American Army officials
here went so far as to say;
"It is obvious that the de facto gov
ernment does not wish intervention and
it is well known it hopes that the
American troops will be withdrawn
from Mexican soil. The mere fact that
it is taking part in a conference with
representatives of the American Gov
ernment surely indicates that its hope
can be realized."
Interventionists, who are numerous
in El Paso, are not so cautious in dis
cussing the results that will come from
the conference. They openly express
the opinion that the outcome will be a
settlement which will obviate, for the
time, being at least, any chance for a
break between the two governments.
Theso point to the statement of Sec
retary Baker at Washington that the
instruct ions issued to General Sc:ott
and General Funston are to "discuss a
basis for the most cordial and complete
co-operation between the American and
Mexican forces in the attainment ol
their common object."

"1 assure you that everything I can

be done' wrote Senator Jones.
"Surely every sane mind still hopes
that we maintain peace with Ger
many," wrote Representative Humph

one cannot be denied. I believe that
everything consistent with National
honor should be done to avert war."
'I believe that the best interests of

on Germany. Personally, 1 have be
lieved all a'nng that Americans should
stay off of foreign ships passing
through t'ie war zone, and I certainly
will not vote for war because some
Americans are foolhardy enough to risk
and lose their lives in such an adventure."

NEW YORK, April 27. Final effort
to avert a strike in the anthracite fields
will be made by the joint sub-committee
of miners and operators as the re
sult of a decision reached today at a
conference here bet ween representa
tives of both sides to the controversy.
The sub-committee, which broke off
negotiations Tuesday after what seemed
a hopeless deadlock had developed over
the miners demands, was instructed to
reach an agreement before May 2, if
possible. On that date the United Mine
Workers of America, of the hard coal
region. will meet in convention at
Pottsville Pa., and probably will vote
on the question of a strike.
Representatives of both the miners
and operators declared after a confer
ence that they were hopeful some
agreement would be reached by the
su b-comm it tee. which will resume its
sessions tomorrow. Neither side would
admit, however, that they were ready
to make concessions.
The miners demand an eig ht-hour
day, 20 per cent advance in wages and
recognition of the union, but statements

parties indicated that the open shop

lA sensible cigarette that's what I vasit
There are a number of good, sensible ciga
rettes on the market Fatimas are not the
only ones.
But Fatimas sire the best-liked and best-selling
of all the cigarettes costing over 5c.
Of course, your taste may be different you
may not like Fatimas as well as all these
thousands of other men do.
But you can't deny that they are worth
trying not only for the delicious taste that
has made them so famous, but also 'to see
just how SENSIBLE they really are how
COOL and comfortable to the throat and
tongue and how free they are from after-effects.
Clip out these tests and see if you can find
any other cigarette that meets them as well as
good old Fatimas do.
Make this important test today.

TWO TESTS FOR
ANY CIGARETTE
Tho -) r.f fhA cigarette according 1
to a leading tobacco journal is up to the
smoker, tun mere are oiner quajuica
that you should look lor in tne cigarette
that you are doing to stick to ior your
steady smoke. Here are a couple o( tests
that may help the average smoker to
noose more wisely oetweea aincrent
kinds of cigarettes.
The 6rt test is for coolness, which
means more comfort to the throat and
tongue. Light any cigarette. Draw in a
rlnurl nf smoke a small, ordinarv Duff
is not sufficient to make this test. Hold
it in your mouth for a few seconds. Let
it "float' around against your tonrue
and throat. Now blow out the smoke.
If ht. cigarette contains a high grade
of mfld tobacco leaves, combined in just
the rigjt proportion, it will always feel
COOL and smooth hotb to your throat
and to Tour tongue.
On th oter h..nd. if the oronortions
: aje not rifiht and if the cigarette contains
51
inferior grades of tobacco or hiddec
strands ot ran It, ouy icax. you win icei a
nipping sting at tne tip oi your loof.ue
or that sandpaper' tickle in your throat.
Tqt number two How do VOn feel
after smoking all day t
If h tnhaeeos in the cicrarette fnclcde
a correct proportion o( mild grades and
if all of the various grades have been prop
erly mellowed by age ana u iney nave
been so blended as to bring out the best
qualities and toneutralize any unpleasant
qualities in each ol the different types of
tobaccos, you w.ll be able tosmoiceprac
ticallv whenever you feel like it through
the day without feeling any effect from it.
But with another cigarette in which the
blend is less skillful, even though the to
haeeo are of the highest grade, you will
find along towards the end of the day
that you are likely to have that feeling
of having smoked too muca.
