Armistice Day Address.
Address delivered at Evangelical
church last Sunday on: "Armistice
Day the Forerunner of World Peace."
When in the years to come, some
one will write the history of the
World War, there should be one
chapter headed, "He Hath Appointed
a Day." Acts 17:32. God in his
great answer to the multitude of
prayers, that the carnage of war
might cease, "appointed a day" when
this conflict should cease. It was at
11 o'clock on the 11th day of the!
11th month. 11 years as:o. when the
bugles sounded the signal "cease fir
ing."
These notes re-echoed around the
world. The stillness and absolute
silence which followed, was so pro
found that its meaning was not un
derstood for some moments. Th
booming of guns, the shrieking of
bursting shells, the rattle of machine
guns, that had been heard continu
ously for four years, stopped at once
when finally the realization came to
the boys in the trenches, in first aid
camps, in hospital, s the joy was in
describable. The first thought was
"Now we are going home!" They
finally came home, but not all; some
seventy-eight thousand of the nowe
of America's young manhood did not
return. This brings us to the place
of sad memories, the cemetaries in
France. First we stop in Lorain
where on November ICth, 1917, the
first three Americans fell. Corporal
J. M. Gresham, Private Thomas En-
right and Private Merl D. Hay; then
we go to Sureness near Paris, where
150 S of our boys sleep, now we visit
Montfacon where more than 14,000
rest. These are but a few places
sacred to the memory of the berieved
families in America. We will not
speak of the shell-shocked, the blind
the maimed, the gas poisoned, the
widows and orphans, not to mention
the sorrow, the heartaches of fathers
and mothers at home. Time and the
grace of God will heal those wounds
et us rather speak of the signs that
point to a better day, which is com
mencing. The Locarno meeting, the
Geneva, conference, the Briand-Kel-
logg Pace Pact, Ramsay MacDonald's
visit, the coming disarmament meet
ing next January, the result of last
year's work in behalf of world peace;
The reparation question has been
settled; France will remove her sold
iers from German soil; all foreign
governments have agreed to restore
tariff antomony to China; in Mexico
the church and state have made
peace; England and Egypt have come
to an understanding; the oldest quar
rel in South America, between Chili
and Peru has been settled; this is
one year s progress.
Nations are learning to arbitrate
their misunderstandings, and world
peace must come, because God says
so. Nation shall not lift up sword
ae-ainst nation any more and the
angel choir will again soon chant
the refrain "Glory to God in tne
Highest, peace on earth, to men good
will."
(The new reading)
When righteousness shall cover the
earth, as water the deep, when the
Prince of Peace shall rule in the
hearts of men, then man will not
learn war any more; when once the
brotherhood of men and the Father
hood of God is recognized by the
masses, then world peace will come
by mutual understanding to the glory
of God and the good of man!

Minneapolis. Minn. Boxes and
crates containing hundreds of bowls,
stone implements and other discov
eries, literally dusted from the
ancient soil of the Mimbres valley of
New Mexico, have been unparked
and their contents placed under the
critical eyes of anthropologists in an
effort to solve the mystery of an
American culture that varnished 1,-
000 years ago. The work is under
the direction of Dr. Albert E. Jenks,
head of the department of anthro
pology of the University of Minne
sota.
Aside from the fact that the Mim
bres Indians were a peaceful, agri
cultural people living in hundreds of
villages scattered over a 100-mile
area which comprises the Mimbres
valley and mountains in southwest
ern .New .Mexico, little 13 known
about this varnished group, Dr. Jenks
related in telling of his expedition
which spent last summer excavating
in the region.
The expedition, consisting of Dr.
and Mrs. Jenks and six university
students, uncovered and studied mi
nutely 52 rooms in a 10-acre lot
which was leased for the work
financed by the University cf Minne
sota and the Minneaplois Society cf
Fir Arts.
The rooms were discovered on five
house levels, indicating. Dr. Jnks
believe?, that as the adob houses
crumbled and collapsed and as de
bris and the elements covered the
sitts, Fucceeding generations con
structed their homes above the bur
ied estates cf their forefathers.
Carefully digging the baked and
packed earth from the village site,
the excavotor? us;d whisk broom? to
sweep dirt from nearly 350 bowls.
The bowls arc cf especial interest
because the pottery of the Mimbres
Indiar.s bears the finest geometric
designs and is the most highly de
veloped of any culture of the West
ern Hemisphere, IT. Jenks remarked.
Realistic designs of animals, insects,
lizards are said to b the only ones
of their type in prehistoric archiso1
ogy. The designs are often drawn in
black on a white background but also
in red on gray. Lumps of r.iw mate
rial paint red. green and bTue
the bluest blue Dr. Jenks hasever
seen were discovered.
"The Mimbres culture is an un
solved archaeological problem," Dr.
Jenks commented in speaking of his
work. "There is no evidence that it
was tranrplanted to otber tribe3 or
people. It may have existed 100 0
years before Christ and it was gone
600 or 700 A. D. The Spanish con
querors, who passed and repassed
the Mimbres valley, have no record
of these people.
"Their number likewise remains a
mystery. Nothing has been published
as yet about this culture. We simply
do not know where it came from or
where it went."
The Mimbres Indians were firt
called to the attention of natural
scientists in 1913 when some pottery
was discovered in the region. Wesley
Bradfield, curator cf ths Museum cf
New Mexico in Sana Fe, has spent
five summers working in the valley
and has a large collection cf Mimbres
relics.
Blames Lax
Banking for Mal
colm Failure
Frozen Loans and Overvalued Real
Estate Responsible, Says
Shallenberger.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 14. Laxity
in banking supervision, the accumu
lation of slow and excessive loans,
and real estate "grossly overvalued"
on its books were elements assigned
today by A. C. Shallenberger, head
of the guaranty fund probe, for the
failure of the Malcolm State bank.
Three depositors whose funds are
now tied up in the institution sev
eral daj'S ago became parties to a
test suit launched in district court
here to determine the priority of
payment ou of a 2 60 housand dollar
appropriaion for payment of deposi
tors in banks operated as going con
cerns. The Malcolm bank was taken over
by the state department on April S,
1927, and at that time loans and
discounts amounted to $121,232.55,
while real estate, carried as a re
source a.mounted to $78,882.04. De
posits were $209,351.09.
State Operation Cost 043,052.
Operated as a going bank, further
losses were sustained to the extent
of $43. 052. OS, and $14,999.73 was
added to the deficit under receiver
ship, Mr. Shallenberger summarized
from recently completed audits.
"Based on the valuation of the
remaining assets," he added, "there
will be a still further loss, exclu
sive of operating expenses, of $50,-
483.29."
The total loss, he stated, will ap
proximate $108,814.90, while a 15
per cent dividend has been paid de
positors and the estimated value of
remaining assets is approximately
L7 per cent of the preferred claims
unpaid.
When the bank wa3 taken over,
Mr. Shallenberger pointed out, total
loans included five amounting to
$35,701.49, which were in excels cf
the legal limit. Likewise, real es
tate was carried at five times the
legal limit.
Warned Two Years Ahead.
Citing laxity in butti vision, the

W a s h i r gton Representative
KnuU-on. republican. Minnesota, who
introduced a bill Thursday to grant
the Philippine islands their inde
pendence, issued a statement in
which he described the islands as
constituting "tbe greatest drawback
u .agricultural rehabilitation" with
which this country contends.
"The Philippine islands today con
stitute the greatest drawback to agri
cultural rehabilitation that we have
to contend with," Knutson asserted.
"Anually we import from out far
eastern posses-ions over one billion
pounds of vegetable oils which enter
into direct competition with Amer
ican dairy products and animal fats.
"Th Philippines r.l;;o export to
the United States each year some
thing like 600,000 tons of suea
whlch competes with the products
of our beet grwoers. I do not be
lieve that congress will ever legis
late to place a limitation on these
huge imports, which so ?eriously af
fect our welfare, so long as the is
lands remain unr'er the jurisdiction
of the United States; hence my de
fire to give to them complete inde
pendence at this time in order that
they may be rlaced on the same eco
nomic level as other competing countries."
