But Civilians Are Getting Ont of Mnfe-

London, August lathe war Office
today received the following message
from Lord Roberts:
Pretoria, August 1.-The enemy Is
fleeing In front of Kitchener's and
Mathuens forces. Early this morning
he was trying to cross the railway at

by Smith-Dorire. Methuen on August
found rear guard action near Buffet

Mr.. James G. Stowe, United States

DIR. Wilson, who announced the amounts.
The cash was deposited on a little table,
where sat Mrs. Simpson and Rev. w.
f. Meningee, counting, checking up
pledges and keeping tally as the collec-
tion progressed. Organization and sys-
tematic effort were in evidence at every
point.
The Widows mite was quickly covered
with a 50 bill that one of the collectors
secured from a man on a front seat. A
pledge of $270 was next announced, an
other Of $40 and then DR. Simpson read
from a card "an annuity of $4,000" This
announcement called forth a chorus of
"HalIelujahs'' and the choir broke in
with a song, "Help Little.
Now the cards came in rapidly, the COL
lectors hurrying to and fro between the
platform and benches A $500 pledge
was included in the second batch and
when the next breathing space came, the
tally keepers privately announced a
total of S6232.
Within the first half hour about 800 600
was raised, a 5000 pledge and two of $4,000
each being included. Later on a $500
pledge was sent up to the stand, shortly
followed by a pledge of $4,000. About
lis clock there came lull, and after
q basket collection had been taken, DR..
Simpson dismissed the audience and
promised to announce in the afternoon
the total of the pledges,
At APO, after the afternoon sermon,
the soil citation of pledges was repeated.

mites-aggregating Sill. A woman
who had nothing else to give, handed a
collector a 2-cent postage stamp, and
that found its way to the financial secre-
tary's table Most OF the money raised in
the afternoon came in small pledges. The
largest was $500.
Contributions OF 81 apiece were So
liclted, toward China mission emergency
fund. About l25 persons in the audience
stood up in response to the leaders, re-
quest, and became contributors to that
fund.
Rev. DIR. Wilson of New York started a
memorial missionary fund, by oontri.
buting S25 in the name Of his son, who
died 25 years ago. Dr. Simpson spoke in
praise of this movement, and his request
for more memorials Of that kind brought
IA responses of $25 each from bereayed
persons.
At the conclusion OF the meeting DR..
Simpson announced the aggregate as
$42, O5a, q sufficient sum, he said, to send
about so missionaries TO foreign lands.
The woman who in the morning had
placed upon the altar her last cent, came
forward to announce that sympathe-
tic friends had given her 1925 to pay her
fare back home, but the money burned
her, and she wanted 90 contribute 1t to
God. She also announced that after
praying over the matter she had decided
to double her $25 pledge of last year, and
she was sure God would show her a way
to earn it.
DR.. Simpson expressed satisfaction as
to the amount of the collection, and ex-
planned that whereas all the contribu-
lions for Alliance missions used TO be
centered at Old Orchard, ten conyen-
ton year are now held, and at every
one Of them missionary funds are
raised.

Saturdays Harvest of the Heat King in
New York.

New York, August 11.-Death reapsd a
harvest today from New Yorks humani
ty, weakened by the long period of hot
weather. At least 80 persons died in this
city and vicinity, 80 from prostrations
and three children from falling from
fire escapes where they had crowded to
get some relief from the torturing heat,
For the poor there Is absolutely no way
of escape from suffering and death They
are all at the heat kings mercy. For
the past 48 hours the humidity has been
greatest during the night and earIJ
morning hours, when the temperature
has been lowest. It has made sleep a
luxury, only to be enjoyed by people
wealthy enough to afford electric fans
Last night was one long misery What
breeze there was came from inland, and
was as hot and scorching as the blast
from furnace. Poor people crowded the
river front all night gasping and pray
ing for shift in the wind and an ocean
breeze.
The consumption Of ice in the city is
enormous and rise in the price is one
of the possibilities dreaded by the poor.
1t is hard, too, to get good milk, which
may also increase in price.
Travel on the trolley cars, especially to
Coney island, has doubled within two
days. In the old days horses would have
died by hundreds. AS it is the suffer
ing is confined to the truck animals.
Drivers were especially careful of their
beasts, but In spite of it many have fallen
in harness.
