FOR FAIR PLAY.

To the Editor of The Herald.
Whereas, an attack has been male
by the Democrat upon the Baptis,
people in their most laudablc under
taking to erect a new house OF woF-
ship, because their pastor has becl
identified with a certain body of cit
izens in their effort to secure the On.
forcement Of the law regarding 5nn-
day and midnight closing of salooga.
and we deem 1t but iugt to make tho
following statement
The 90 operation OF the miniatera
WAS decided upon In regular session
of the Ministers association of Du.
range. and all flye pastors OF the
association stand together in their
support OF the movement, not as pas
tors. but as law-abiding citizens.
No church az an organization has
been identified with the effort, AMI
to single out the Baptist church and
attempt to hinder its worthy endeavor
and prejudice sentiment against this
people is unfair and unjust. and We
make this fratcrnal statement In the
interest Of fair play.

THREATENING
A Conflict Between England
and Russia Almost Inevita-
Bile. = British Forces Will
Not Back Down.

LONDON, March 20.-A Tientsn
dispatch this afternoon says it would
seem at this writing that clash be-
tween the Russians and British is i'm
possible to avoid. A spark would
set afiame the two bitterly contending
factions.
The British forces today decided not
to back down. This was probably
under instructions from London.
The English brought large rein
forcements of Australian troops from
Pekin today. They left the capital
on, a special train at 10 o'clock this
morning, fully equipped.
Indications everywhere suggest a
conflict.
Three great warships just outside
the bar are closely watching move
ments ashore. They are German,
French and Italian, and fully pre-
pared to guard the interests of those
countries.
