in Address
HARTFORD, Conn., May 7,
(By the .Associated "Tress.) Any

sufficient by .Secretary Wilbur in
an address tonight before the Con
necticut chamber of commerce.
V "To defend America we must be
prepared to defend; its Interests
and. our flag In every corner of
the globe," he asserted. "The sug
gestion that the United States can
be defended solely by aircraft op
erating from our shores la borne
our nation and of Its vast and
wqrld wide Interests, and also oil
an unwise enthusiasm for one
feature' of national defense."
An adequate navy Is necessary
for national defense, he declared,
because the United States is "a
world power with world wide cont-
mercial interest and with Ines-
canable commitments and obllra-
"A Chinese, wall around conti

ued, "whether of stone, of oast

grand Theatre IS Filled tO
Hear George Shaw Cook
of Chicago
Hundreds of persons filled the
Grand theatre last night to hear
the lecture on Christian Science,
"Christian Science; the Science of
the Spirit', by George Shaw Cook,
C. S. B., of- Chicago, member of
the board of lectureship of the
Mother church, the First Church
of Christ, Scientist, Boston, Mass.
William Thlelson introduced the
speaker with a few remarks, call
ing attention to the growth of the
church and . thought
during the
last few years.
"Many progressive medical doc
tors are recognizing more and
more the mental origin of dis
ease," said Mr. Shaw. "They have
8aid, for example, that fear, wor-
ry natreoVjina anger. wu K proauce
sickness and they - admit that
many cases of illness are due to
the emotions of the human mlnlL
Christian Scientists would agree
with the physicians at this point
but would go beyond them in de
claring tnat ail disease nas a men
tal cause. In doing so, however,
they do not contend that all dis
ease is the result of conscious fear,
nor of wilful sin, but that back
of every disease or. discordant con
dltion of the .material body there
is some erroneous condition of
thought which must be destroyed
before there can be a permanent
cure."
The speaker quoted from the
Bible In support of Christian Sci
ence doctrine. " "A good cause
conld only be manifested or ex
pressed in a good effect," he-said
"Hence we find In the first chap
ter of Genesis these positive and
definite declarations: "In the be
ginning God created the , heaven
and the earth." "And God saw
everything that he had made, and.
behold, it was very good.'.' For
the reason that effect must always-
be like cause, it follows with equal
ertainty that God being Spirit,
His creation must be spiritual.
Since God is Mind. Infinite con
sciousness, that which thinks, He
must of necessity be reflected by
tnougnt. Tne universe or crea
tion of God, is, therefore a thought-
universe consisting of '.perfect
spiritual thoughts or ideas. Thus
it will be seen that the universe
of God is not material, nor could
it have been evolved from a ma
terial basis. The universe of God.
of Spirit, is tho limitless expres
sion of Spirit. It is the Infinite
reveianon or , l rum, ine eternal
activity of divine Mind as thought
or "thinking the sum-total of true.
or spiritual Ideas.

NEW YORK, May 7 (By The
Associated VPressJ-New York
coast guard officials, claiming that!
their three day old blockade of the
Atlantic rum fleet continued 100
per cent etfective, put. the stamp
of seeming permanency on this
new phase of the anti-wet war to
day by Issuing a can for between
400 and 500 guardsmen recruits
for the local district.
It became known that similar
campaign are in preparation at
Norfolk, Va., ; Washington, Balti
more and Boston. The blockade
was tignjtened today, a score or
more rum chasers, leaving for the
line of action. Most of these "boats
were said to be replacements being
Bent to the row to -relieve some '.of
the smaller boats which have been
on the Job since (the blockade
opened in heaty seas and bleak
weather stirred by, a near gale.
Almost simultaneous with the
announcement of the departure of
the reinforcements' and . replace
ments the destroyer Cunningham
returned to her' base from the
blockade tone' to report that four
new'contraband carriers had join
ed the line -of beleaguered ships
at anchor ail the way from 18 to
40 miles from shore. -One of the
our, towering above , the; others.
was a big German steamer from
Hamburg. All presumably had
become unaware of the blockade
and were drawn Into the govern
ment's net before the captains
could be warned. .The. number of
ships In rum row Is estimated at
from 15 to 30.
Their anchor chains had not fin
ished their clatter through the
hawser holes before eight of Uncle
Sam's patrol boats had. sped for
ward to gTeet them. Two of the
75' foot patrol boats -attached
themselves to each of the liquor
carriers and settled, down to the
business of keeping them Isolated
from the shore.

when she proposed before the in

trol of, arms and munitions that
warships be omitted from the cate
gory of armaments which wlU be
Subject to international . control.

,A move ol another Iklnd was
made earlier in the day when T.
E.i Burton of Ohio proposed an
entirely .-new clause in the con
vention ! whereby- International
traffic in poison gas for war pur-
poses woud be prohibited.
- Gas to be Prohibited
Mr. Burton's' appeal "for favor
able action on h.Is resolution was
warmly approved by the represen
tatives, of -"France, Italy, Brazil,
Hungary, Poland and China, the
resolution was referred to a coa-
mittee of technical experts.'
Rear Admiral Audrey Smith,
British delegate, outlined to the
conference on military, naval and
air matters Why his country fav
ored taking warships out of the
list -of armaments which, under the
draft convention, are subject to a
system of license, when, soli fcy
one country I to another, I.. ar
gued that the chief aim of the
conference was not tQ prevent
illicit trade In armaments, but.ta
control, and especially to make
public. - ; .
Publicity . Wanted
He laid stress on the fact that
the object of the conference was
not to, reduce armaments but ta
merely throw ' everything about
their sale into the light of public-!
try. Now, nobody, he said, could
conceal the sale of a warship ana
hence it seemed unnecessary to
keep warships In the category of
war material to be- supervised.
Japan snpported the British view
for the same reason, and Italy fol
lowed suit. No nation opposed tna
British suggestions. - The Ameri
can experts took no part in to
