Pius, Despite Peer Health, Ap-

St. Peter's
PALE DURING CORONATION
By the Associated Press
Reme, Feb. 13. After his coronation
yesterday Plus XI again biesscd the
crowds from the outer bnlceny of St.
Peter's, this, tiine nearly 200,000 people
chee'ring "Leng live the Pepe!" and
waving handkerchiefs, many of them
multicolored, and admission tickets te
the Vatican, which had failed te find
them room lnId the great church.
It bad been officially announced that,
"owing te the cold weather." the Pope
would net bless the crowds from the
outer balcony, but such was the in
sistence and warmth of the cheers, last
ing three-quarters of an hour, that the
pontiff 'finally decided he must answer
the call of his children.
Thus it was long after 1 o'clock in
the afternoon when the Hely Father ap
peared en the balcenv, surrounded by
Cardlnald Vannutclll. Gnsnnrrl. Mereier
and Bourne, and bestowed the apostolic
benediction, again giving the familiar
little sbnke of the hand as fce dis
appeared into the Interior of the
Basilica.
ProvleuH te this the 00,000 gathered
within the fditice, rising spontaneously,
had cheered the Hely Father as the
tluru was placed en his head. Thoclirern
continued for no long n time that Pius
wnH compelled te make signs with hl
hands as If keeking Mlcnee In order that
the ceivmeny might continue.
Old Remun3, who had witnessed the
coronation of several Popes, say that
the enthuslnsrii! reception nccerded the
present Pepe has never been equaled lu
their memory.
Geed will, sincerity and hone were
the dominant emotions prevailing in

SEES GREAT POWER
E
Dr. Herace C. Stanten Ad
dresses Presbyterian Min
isters' Association
TELEPATHY IS DISCUSSED
We may knew all about our loved
ones here en earth, as the angels de,"
in the state after death, through mental
telepathy nnd clairvoyance, declared the
Rev. Dr. Herace C. Stanten today at
a ministerial meeting In Westminster
Hall, Witherspoon Building.
Dr. Stanten Is secretary of the Pres
bjterian Ministers' Association. His
address was en "Thn flinnliT n,i
Cla rvoyance of Science and These of
Scripture Compared." The speaker
declared all the evidence demonstrates
that "modern psychology solidly con
firms the psychic events of Scripture,
nnd that telepnthy and clairvoyance arc
the rudlraental play of transcendent
powers which develop In the future
state."
Dr. Stanten asserted that "among
the things foreshadowed In that future
life are power instantly te transmit
psychic messnges evcr distance indefin
itely great, and te recognize .the receipt,
meaning and source of these mental tele
grams." He said he believed In the
future state we would be able, bv clair
voyance, te locate ether persons far
away, nnd te learn their surroundings,
circumstances nnd mental tntn..
The speaker said that for centuries
scientists have been noting the mar
vels of telepathy and clairvoyance. He
explained that by telepathy all the do de
tails of n complex event would be
transmitted te n distant mind, nnd by
clairvoyance all the features of such a
sccne would be read from some far
distant mind.
Instead of such occurrences being oc
cult und supernatural, the speaker said,
science recently has recognized them as
the mnnlfcstntlens of certain higher
powers in the human soul, usually dor
mant, but sometimes active.
Thn SerJnturcH exnlnin. c.t,i it.
Sauten, the purposes of these powers!
which art. a mj story te the psycholo psychelo psychole
gist. "In them nre revealed," said the
.xpeiikcr. "Intelligences far higher thnn
ourselves inspired men, angels, plorl plerl
lied saints, the Hely Spirit, the God Ged
Man and the Father. And in the lives
of these beings occur incidents exactly
similar te these which se puzzled bclett
lists. When the phenomena of sclence
and these of the Scriptures are com
pared, their Identity in character is
unmistakable"

TAXATION PROPOSAL

CotuMeht, its:, bv PubHe ledger Company
Washington, Feb. 13. A bend l.uc
te provide funds te pay the soldiers'
bonus was uppermost ns the mujerlly
members of the Heuse Committee en
Ways nnd Means and the Senate
Finance Committee met together in
conference today. But this only indi
cates the desperate situation into which
the Republicans have get themselves
by premts ng additional compensation
te the soldiers without any clear way
te raise means.
The. bend Issue Is nothing new in the
discussions en this subject. It va the
first dea of Congress. It Is always the
hrst Idea of. Congress when It faces the
ncacssity of Retting a large sum of
money out of tlie publK Borrowing
postpones the evil day when taxes have
te be Imposed. Jt distributes the cost

' If b'uyers of bends face fhe 'prospect
that every llttlelvhlle the Natien, con
fronted by-alieHtlcal'fxi)fency like the
soldiers' bonus, 111 nsen te borrow

upon a very high rate of Interest.
The Government ts like any ether
borrower. If borrowing fa a habit
credit Is net jroed. This consideration
is what welchs vltb the Treasury De.
partment in its firm oppitien le pay
ing the bonus by bend is.s-ue.
But there in another difiieultv in the
way of paying tliretiRh n bend Issue and
that is political. The holding of the
present Liberty and Victory bends ia
widespread. There arc numerous vot
ers whose interest will be touched bv
any decrease in the prien of outstanding

ote Is lest. The reaction of the bus!.
ness interests und the taxpayers te all I
proposals ise far made for raising money!
by taxutien shows hew dangerous pe-l
lltically would be the raising of uienevl
by additional taxation. i
Miarp pretests en tTic part of the
present bondholders ngdinst additional
bend Issues would frighten Congress as
much as the nnger of business against
further taxation bns. There nre prob
ably as many bondholder votes te lese
as there urn soldier vetep te win.
