CHICAGO, December '3 —Great Brit- ain and the United States are in the greatest of moral danger and “deeper in the mire than the people of ancient Rome,” Christabel Pankhurst, former militant euffragist, who forsook her mili- tant ways to preach the Gospel, de- clared yesterday before 5,000 persons assembled at Moody Tabernacle, “The darkest chapter of human his- tory s open,” she said. “The sky never again will be lighted up by the stars of fllusfon.

They are deeper in the mire than the people of ancient Rome." Answering her question, “Who are the people responsible for the sins of the world?" she said: “It's just the ordinary folk who think if they keep going that God will over- look thelr weaknesées—they are to blame, They think it's better to serve their nefghbors, their relatives, their business ~ associates, than to serve Christ.” The world's besetting sin, she eald, is that too many people in the world are jealous of Jesus Christ. “Wherever I go,' she said, “they ask me what 1 think of Lloyd George, of | Calvin Coolldge, of Poincare or of Pas. | teur.

While serving as ald to the superintendent of the Naval Acad- emy he was assigned to the command of the first submarine commissioned in the Navy and made a su eruise in it to Helland.

Le Journal has made inquiries among the boy's friends, intimates and high school instructors, all of whom agreed he was an en- thusiastic admirer of his father and fully imbued with royalist ideas, with- out, however, being argumentative on the subject. 'The Instructors asserted that Philippe was a precocious boy, and that they were not surprised he was the author of the free verse poems that were inclosed with the letter he Every Cold is Dangerous-- Begin Taking Father John’s Medicine at left with Vidal.
