In his sermon of dedication Dr. Lliot called for a dynamic, agsressive religion, as oppo: negativ querulous kind of reli “no appeal to young Americans any more than a religion of theological m or archaic formularies. They tell me that there is a great deal of indifference nowadays toward religion,” Dr. Eliot said. “I do not myself encounter many evidences of that so-called indifference. Indiffer- ence there is in regard to certain theories and opinions about religion and toward certain institutions that more or loss represent religion, but never, it seems to me, was there a generation so eager in its discussion of the mysteries of life and death and creation and destiny as that which is Krowing up among us. “If, however; we assume that there is some real .indifference, I- think know the reason it It ribbon winner, Salano.

By the Associated Press. BOSTON, October 27.—The rum rows off Cape Cod and Cape Ann were | scattered foday as a result of their | first major engagement with the pro- | hibition enforcement navy and eight prizes were tied up at docks here and at Gloucester and New London, Conn., | with more than a score of prisoners. | The Coast Guard cutter Tampa ves- | terday brought into Boston Harbor the Newfoundland two-masted schooner Marjorie E. Bachman, rum laden, and five American motor boats. Another motor boat was taken into Gloucester and one into New London. $100,000 in Liquor. The eight prizes, with their crews and contraband liquor, valued at $100,000, represented a week's opera- tions of the Tampa, assisted by a squadron .of fast rum chasers off Block Island, Cape Cod and Cape Ann The captured vessels were taken in a running battle Friday, in which the Tampa used her three-inch guns and pursued a scattering rum fleet for more than an hour near Stellwagon Banks, 20 milés off the coast, at a point half way between Capes Cod and Ann. In the fleet of rum ships were more than a dozen vessels, ac- cording to Coast Guard officers, in- cluding several British and French craft. A number of American motor boats plying between rum row and the shore were surprised by the raiders. Some of the speedier vessels disre- garded warning shots from the Tampa and on these the smaller boats of the enforcement fleet opened fire with machine guns and rifles. Numer- ous chases proceeded in the haze of the early morning. None of the rum vessels returned the Coast Guard fire. Officers said that more of the ‘rum fleet could have been captured had the Coast Guard force been willing to fire directly at their quarry. The Marjorie E. Bachman is a new vessel, registered from St. Johns, Newfoundland. She carried 850 cases of liquor, valued at $30,000. LIKENED TO WEDDING.

The statement, which is signed by 53 men and women of prominence in the Progressive movement of 1912, follows: “As supporters of the Progressive party in 1912, we reaffirm our alleg- iance to the principles of popular Government and social and industrial justice, which inspired that movement. _“We declare our unwavering belief in the doctrines which were taught and lived by Theodore Roosevelt, and which still remain a chart for our guidance. We denounce the use of the name progressive by Senator La Folletge, the socialists and other ex- tremists as a deliberate attempt to delude progressives into believing that the La Follette alliance is a per- petuation of the historic party of 1912. The Progressive platform then stood squarely against socialism and all forms of extremist doctrine as Roosevelt stood against La Follette, whom he declared to be ‘one of the most potent enemies of this country and a most sinister enemy of De- mocracy.’ Roosevelt Is Cited. “If Roosevelt were here today, the Socialists would never have had the hardihood to pervert the progressive name. Moreover, his whole life is testimony that with all the vigor of his powerful mentality and the ‘all ardor of his great soul would be fighting the anti-Democratic, anti- American forces, under whatever title they chose to conduct their in- sidious campaign.” “Unless President Coolidge gains a clear majority in the electoral col- lege the presidential choice will lie with the present Congress, elected long before the existing issues arose, and in effect Senator La Follette and the other extremists in that body will_be able to name the next Presi- denf of the United States.” The statement is signed by Law- rence F.
