 ing Incident
DIR. MOODY WELCOMED THEM

Hot Springs, Ark, May 11-Georgia's dis tinguished ex-governor, Hon W. J. Nor then, faced a magnificent assemblage in the big Eastman hotel this morning when he called to order the Southern Baptist con vention. A veteran in the work said it was the greatest gathering in the fifty-five years existence of the organization. AL most all of the 1,306 delegates were present with great crescent behind them of sons and daughters of the south, the big num- Der of young men in the hall seeming to emphasize that the Baptists of the new and vigorous southland are well equipped for the work of the dawning century.
 Three sessions, morning, afternoon and night, were held. There were two marked features of the morning meeting. One was the speech of welcome, and the other was the gift of silver vase, a token of love to venerable man, grown gray in the sery- ice of the church.
 Rev. J. P. Eagle of Little Rock, former governor of Arkansas, nominated eX-Gov- ernor Northen for reelection as president. The unanimous vote of the convention was cast for him. President Northen made an eloquent and feeling speech of acceptance.
 The Rev. H. s. Moody of Hot Springs welcomed the delegates, whom he termed messengers of the civil and religious lib- erty.
 Dr. Melton Responded
 Rev. MT. Melton of Augusta accepted the hospitality of Arkansas and Hot Springs in an appropriate speech. Rev. pr. R. C. Buckner of Texas s. H. Ford of Missou ri, Joshua Lowering of Baltimore, and ex- Governor Eagle of Arkansas were selected vice presidents, while Rev. Dr. Lansing Burrows of Augusta and Rev. O. F. Greg ory of Baltimore were chosen secretaries.
 There was a remarkable scene when a superb vase of silver was placed warm words Rev. Dr. Burr, on behalf of the Baptists of the south, presented the vase to Rev. pr. Tichner, the honored and venerable secretary of the home mission board
 The fifty-fifth annual report of the home mission board, summarized, was as follows:
 Missionaries, 67l churches and stations, 2,16S; religious visits SS, ,2S0; baptsms, 56,696. Total additions, 11,951.
 Churches constituted, 195; houses of wor- ship built, Il; houses of worship improved, 69; amount expended on houses of worship, S6S,229; Sunday schools organized, 63; teachers and pupils, 2,567; Bibles and Testa- ments distributed, 1S412; tracts distributed, 1,594,740.

In addition to this the board has received a special annuity gift of $400O which makes the actual amount of cash re- ceived s79,36s.

ANOTHER EXPLANATION.
British Reverses Due to the Power OF
Modern Weapons.

NEW YORK. Feb. IA dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
Mr.. Julian Ralph. in letter to the
Daily Mail from Modder river, says:
British defeats at the hands of the
Beers are due to the fact that the
methods of modern warfare have been
brought to a pause by the demonstrate
ed power of the weapons Of today.
The essential qualities of the army
of twenty years ago, are no longer the
supreme necessities for success. The
man behind the gun stands more su-
preme than ever.
dig a trench and line it with good
shots, supported by modern artillery
and no enemy can advance in the face
Of them. They may be outflanked or
starved. but while their ammunition
holds out, none can oust them, for they
ill the whole plain over a radius OF at
least four thousand yards with such a
withering blast of shrapnel and rifle
bullets that no troops can stand in the
open before II"
Speaking Of Magersfontein, he says:
The Beers there demonstrated the
fact that, given a plain, field glasses,
modern magazine rifles and quiek-fir-
ing small guns and the whole German
army itself could not dislodge the six
ty-five thousand men Of the two BOer
republics by a frontal attack on those
grass-edged trenches. Not $1,000 Brit
ish could have beaten those 1900
Beers, except at such a sacrifice Of life
as no commander would require or
could be pardoned for occasioning.
For a frontal attack the old military
manuels declared that the attacking
force must be three times that of the
opposing force, but today, with new
weapons, it is said that ten men must
attack one.
One of the most formidable new
conditions OF war which We are expert
encing is one that we have never, or
next to never, seen before, for there are
men in our army who have never seen
a Boer in battle. know Of officers
who have seen only one or two in one
battle and Ave or six in another.
Our men have thrown themselves
upon the veldt and have fired for hours
at tine at the noise or flame at the
trenches of the enemy whom they could
not see.
''At Modder river there were whole
battallons Of ours that did not know at
the end of the day whether the enemy
was north or south of the river.
A European army fighting under
European rules is a clumsy weapon
against the Boer, who opposes us with
weapons which render one man as good
as ten, and all ten invisible.
We remember the old saying that
an army moves upon its belly and we
paraphrase it to make it read A mod
ern army must night upon its belly
IF Germany got in a trench that
could not be turned, all the world could
advance and be slaughtered, but not
all the world could GUST the Germans
from that trench"

are exactly like the French In the Fran

ful mess Of it and Butler ordered him to

killed and wounded. Something went
wrong with the right brigade. and the
officer commanding the Royal artillery
advanced his guns up to within 100
yards Of the Boer position and trenches
long before the infantry were at hand
to support him. The Beers allowed the
guns TO be unlimbered and then poured
such hail of bullets that the teams OF
two batteries were killed in a very
short time, When the gunners we're
shot down, the attack could not be car
ried out. and Butler had to give the or
