NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Kellogg to Succeed Hughes
as Secretary of State—
No Change of Policy.
- By EDWARD W. PICKARD
W ASHINGTON and the country
generally were taken quite by sur
prise by the announcement that Secre
tary of State Hughes would retire from
the cabinet on March 4. There had
been no previous intimation of this '
change although it was known that Mr.
Hughes wished to resume the practice
of law within a few years at most. He
lias been in the public service almost
continifously for twentv vears. The
correspondence between him and the
President concerning his resignation
reveals no basis for report that there t
had been any conflict of views and
those close to the. White House say
Mr. Hughes was the first cabinet mem
ber whom Mr. Coolidge asked to re-i
main in ids official family.
The President selected Ambassador
Frank B. Kellogg to succeed Mr.
Hughes, and the choice lias met with '
no adverse criticism. Mr. Kellogg has
gained a clear insight into the affairs
of Europe and especially tin* settle
ment of German reparations and im
terallied debts. His ability is unques
tioned. Those who jumped to the con
clusion that his coming to tin* Depart
ment of State would lead to American I
adhesion to the League of Nations
probably will have to change their
opinion, but it is known that he favors
the Continuation of our government's
co-operation with the league in handling
humanitarian and social problems.
Many persons, here and abroad, who
think America should recognize, the
Soy iet government of Russia also hailed
tlie advent of Mr. Kellogg or rather
the retirement of Mr. Hughes—as a
sign that the administration's policy in
this matter would be changed, be
cause Mr. Hughes has been unalter
ably against any relations with Russia
in present conditions. These persons,
too, arc deceiving themselves. The
President authorized the stateifient
that lie continued to oppose recogni
tion of tin* Soviet government until it
agrees to compensate American citizens
robbed by the Communists, to recog
nize the war debt of Russia to the
United States and to cease trying to
undermine the American form of •gov
ernment. Mr. Coolidge still hopes,
however, that Russia will meet these

can he resumed. Great Britain and
France are pleased with the appoint
ment of Mr. Kellogg, who lias shown i
C, Bascom Slemp has resigned as
secretary to the President, according
to a White House announcement, and
Representative Everett Sanders of In
diana lias been named to succeed him,
a choice which is liked in congressional
circles. Mr. Sanders was head of the
speakers’ bureau at Chicago during the
last campaign. He was not a candidate,
for re-election to congress and so can
not be classed among the "lame ducks."
A CCORDING to the preliminary re
port of the President's commis
sion on agricultural problems, cattle I
raising is the only branch of the in
dustry that needs immediate relief, and ;
Mr. Coolidge lias undertaken to pro-1
j cure tiiat relief from congress before
I March 4. ■ If tills is done there will lie 1
! no need of an extra session of the new !
congress. The commission recoin-
mends only one piece of emergency leg- j
Islation. namely, the amending of the |
agricultural credits act so as to per-j
mit tlu
mission; next it approved the Norris
government ownership bill; again it
substituted the Underwood for the
Norris measure, and defeated the
Jones bill in two forms. Then came,
final passage of the “Underwood bill
with tiie aid of Republicans who had
supported the Jones measure. As
adopted the bill authorizes the Presi
dent to lease Muscle Shoals for fifty
years, but provides that if qi suitable
lease cannot be made by next Septem
ber the property is to be operated by a
government corporation.
A
CCORDING to figures given out
by the census bureau, the wealth
of the United States at the close of
1922 was $320,803,862,000, which means
an increase of 72.2 per cent in the
decade beginning 1912. Real estate
and its taxable improvements are in
the lead in values, being placed at
$155,908,625,000. Personal property Is

by government agencies, including
these: ■* "

Guard Against “Fla”
With Musterole
Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia
usually start with a cold. The moment
you get those warning aches, get busy
with good old Musterole.
Musterole is a counter-irritant that
relieves congestion (which is what a
cold really is) and stimulates circulation.
It has all the good qualities of the
old-fashioned mustard plaster without
the blister.
Just rub it on with your finger-tips.
First you will feel a warm tingle as the
healing ointment penetrates the pores,
then a soothing, cooling sensation and
quick relief.
Have Musterole handy for emergency
use. It may prevent serious illness.
ToMothtra: Musterole is aUo
made in milder form for

share of the German reparations.
B y a v<
passed
The hopes of the disciples were ut
terly shattered when Jesus told them
about the cross. Jesus had told them
that He was going away, and that
they could not follow Him. Their
hearts were flooded with grief. He con
soled them by
I. Pointing to the Reunion In the
Father’s Houee (vv. 1-3).
1. He Asks Them to Trust in Him
Even as God (v. 1). Faith in the God-
man, Christ Jesus, will steady the
heart, no matter how Intense the grief
or how great the sorrow.
2. He Informed Them Tiiat He Was
Going to the Father's House in Heaven
to Prepare a Home for Them (v. 2).
He assured them that there was abun
dant room for all. Heaven is an eter
nal dwelling place.
3. He Assured Them That He Would
Come Again and Escort Them to
Heaven (v. 3). Jesus will not wait for
His own to come to Him, hut will
come and call forth from the graves
those who have died, and transform
living believers, and take them nil to

forevermore (I Thess. 4:16-17).
II. Revealing the Way to the Fa-
ther’e Houee (vv. 4-11).
Jesus informed the disciples that
they knew the place to which He was
going and the way. To this Thomas
interposed a doubt, in answer to which
Christ asserts that He Is
1. Tiie Way to God (v. 6). He is
something more than a mere guide or
teacher. He is the way itself. He is
tiie door of the sheep-fold. “
2. The Truth (v. 0). He is not mere
ly the teacher, but t^e truth Incarnate.
In His incarnation the spiritual. and
material worlds were united, there
fore every line of truth whether spir
itual or material converges in Him. No
one who does not have Christ can ever
have the real truth about anything. In
Him we have the truth about man
what he is, what he ought to he, and
what he shall he in eternity. In Him
especially we have tiie truth about
God.
3. Tiie Life (v. 6). Christ Is not.,
merely the giver of life, hut He Is the
essence of life. Only those who re
ceive Christ have life in tiie true sense.
KInce He is God incarnate, to know
Him is to know God.
III. Assuring Them That His Work
Was to Continue (vv. 12-14).
