even greater results. The time has now
come when we must up and doing, from
the mountains to he sea, and leave not
a stone unturned. The 81 900. 90 must
be raised, and we can even raise more
than IT. We want more than 200 schools
represented at Roanoke, we can have it,
by prayerful hearts and earnest working.
Richmond and vicinity will be repre-
sented in great shape. We are proud to
say that the 5. S., work in this section
is moving on nicely. AL tho s. S.
workers ars aroused and enthusiastic I'm
IN our behalf, and our work is gaining
friends daily. The National Baptist
5. s. Union will be represented. Old

PLEASURE SEEKERS DROWNED
Excursion stssnner On Elbs Cut In Two
RV Tua.

by tug.
Hamburg. July 22.-Ons hundred and
four lives were lost in a eolliEion on the
river Elbe early yesterday morning be-
tween the excursion steamer Primus
and tho Hanburg-American line tug
Hansa. Sixty-oRe bodies have been
recovered.
The Primus had made an excursion
trip from Buxtehude. province OF Han
over, Prussia, and had 1S5 passengers
on board. While on the Elbe, between
BlaRkenez and Ninstettln. the Primus
attempted to cross the river channel
and was rammed by the Hansa. The
tug tore her way clear through the
side of the steamer almost cutting her
in two. The PrimGs began to settle,
and the Kansas crew set about to res
cue the panc-strieken passengers of
the steamer, many OF whom jumped in
to the river rather than go down with
the Inflated steamer. Fifty OF the pas
sengers were hauled aboard the tug by
means OF ropes and boat hooks.
The terrible panic that occurred on
the Primus when the Hansa struck
her rendered the efforts to save her
passengers almost useless. Sene of
the survivors furnish graphic dsserip-
tions OF the awful suddeness or the
disaster. According to their story, the
band was playing and many couples
were dancing on deck when the crash
of the collision came like thunder.
bolt In the midst OF the confusion
the boilers exploded, adding to the
horrors of the scene. and many per-
sons are said to have been injuFed by
flying splinters of metal.
