 Pastors Union sDISREGARD CREEDS" Leader of Men and Religion Move ment Tells Pastors to Stop the DenOminational Rivalry and
 All Work Together
"DISREGARD CREEDS"

The organization of a Protestant Inter church council that would be sufficiently large to erect any new church building was the duty assigned to the Pastors union of the Birmingham district by frea B. Smith yesterday morning. The ocea- sion was a session at the First Methodist church to hear MT. Smith, who IS execu- tive secretary of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, and religious pro- sressive of New York city, talk upon .he feasibility of an interdenominational church federation in Birmingham
 MT. Smith. an evangelist of world wide experience and one of the most enthusi- astic exponents of the school of eccleiasti- cal free thinkers. Plainly expressing ms contempt for old fashioned ideas regard ing the taut drawing of individual creed lines py church and visulizing thS coming of denominational organic union, Mr. Smith was most optimistic of good ends possible through the workings of local protestant church consolidation. He stated that this should be composed of one-third ministers and two-thirds laymen to 3e- cure the best legislation and most ef- fectve attainments.
 Social Service ''Within the next five years expect the Sunday school that is without a social service committee or department as lack ing in organization as one without sup erintendent would be today said MT. Smith. Tt takes a little brain to work out these social problems and your social curriculum but you will benefit more by this than any two sermons you have de- livered. You have to read and study that you may become organizers ralner than preachers and discard that question of whether the Methodist, Baptist or any other church is going to win in Birming- ham for the belief that the kingdom of Christ Is coming for the city of coal and iron.
 ''From an interchurch organization that win be large enough to carry all before 1t and will be strong enough to govern the building of any church in any part Of the district. I hope to see the day when the Baptist church will rally to the sup port of the struggling Methodist church, II there be one in the same community ana the Christian congregation will extend helping hand to the little Presbyterian church nearby. I have known the maps of cities to be changed by the existence of church federation as 1t eliminated the strategic move of any one cnurcn se

sultan Of Turkey Sent Gar of Bull

Red Pepper In Reply.

New York, Oct. 25.-A cable dis
patch from Paris contains the follow
ing account of the beginning of the
Balkan war:
When the sultan Of Turkey gave
orders for army mobilization he sent
the car of Bulgaria a sack Of millet
with the following letter:
Ferdinand Effendi: Mobilize IL
you like, but be assured that there
are as many soldiers in Turkey as
there are grains Of millet In this sack.
Now, II you wish. declare war.
"The czar's reply was in kind. He
sent very much smaller sack, filled
with tiny grains Of a most virulent
red pepper Of the country. With it
went the following dedication:
Dear Sultan: The Bulgarians are
not numerous, 1t is true, but be as
sured that to stick your nose into
their affairs is like sticking it into
our national condiment. Try it and
see; they'll sting you so sharply that
the whole of Asia will not be able to
save you."

line at dawn Wednesday. The north
ern column captured several advanced
turkish posts at the point Of the bay
onet and pressed on toward Adrian
ople. The Turks delivered a counter
attack towards the northeast in the di-
rection of Arnautkeui Although we'll
supported by artillery, they were re-
pulsed and in the retreat swept away
the men from other advanced posi-
tions.
In the face Of a heavy fire from
the turkish batteries, the Bulgarians
followed the retiring Turks, whose
losses were enormous, owing to the
well-placed Bulgarians quick firers.
Gen. Dimitrieff then ordered an adj
vance. The eastern army was massed
to the east and west Of the road from
Tirnovo to Kirk-Kilsseh and the
battle opened on this side.
An attack then commenced ALL
along the Turkish northern front re-
sulting in the capture of the fortress.
The Turks in their retreat fought a
rearguard battle in which the Bull
garians were victorious.

ing unassisted about the house. II
was the first time since he was shot
that he had been out Of bed long
at ime, but he felt so much better
after two days rest at home that he
refused to stay up stairs in his room
another day.
He put on his khaki riding suit and
surprised his family by appearing in
the living room and saying he was 20
ing to have luncheon with the 9TH
ers.
Col. Roosevelt was so much better
that the physicians who have been
coming from New York to care for
the wound thought it unnecessary to
make the trip today. DR.. Scurrey L.
Terrell, the colonel's personal physi-
clan, and Dr. George w. Fuller OF
Oyster Bay spent few minutes with
the patient in the morning and again
later In the day, and found that his
condition was improving steadily. The
most marked change was his increas-
ed strength and vitality. He spent
the most Of the day in his library
but attempted little work. In spite
Of his improved condition he found
that he was far from having his u.s.
ual strength and in the afternoon he
became fatigued and slept for two
hours.
Tomorrow Col. Roosevelt expects
to resume work. He sent word to
his secretary today to be on hand
in the morning and hopes to spend
several hours in debating letters and
preparing the speech he expects to
deliver in New York next week. His
wound is to be examined tomorrow
by DR.. Alexander Lambert Of New
York
For time this afternoon Col.
Roosevelt talked literature with Rob-
ert Collier, Finley Peter Dunno and

KIRK -kILISSEH FALLS I,<To
THEIR HANDS.
Many Turks Captured or Put To Flight
Sofia Reports Are That 10000
Have Been Made Prisoners. But
This Is Probably Exaggerated.

London, Oct. PA three days'
battle and Bulgarian turning move
ment have resulted, according TO Sofia
accounts, in the fall of Kirk -Kilisseh
and the capture Of the Turkish garri-
son numbering $4,000 men. That SO
many Turks have been taken is re-
garded as improbable and the more
likely report is that the Turks re-
treated in the direction Of Bunarhisar
to the southeast.
The capture Of this stronghold, to
which the Turks attached almost the
same Importance as to Adrianople,
was confirmed tonight from Constan-
tinople in an official communication
explaining that the Turkish army at
kirk-Kilisseh, in attempting to split
the enemy's forces, discovered that
they were in greater strength than
had been anticipated. The Turks
therefore retreated to the south to
await reinforcements.
The news Of the Bulgarian victory
has caused great rejoicing in Sofia,
where it is expected the fall Of Ad-
rianople will soon follow. 1t is gen.
orally assumed Abdulah Pasha is still
engaged in bringing up his main army
to Adrianople.
An interesting situation will de-
velop should the Turks be compelled
to evacuate Adrianople. 1t is sup
posed that the next stand Of the Turks
will be made at Demontica, 25 miles
south of Adrinaople, an important
strategic position on the road to Con-
stantinople. In other directions both
the Servians and the Turks claim
great victories at Kumanova, the Ser
vians declaring they have captured
the town and the Turks claiming they
have repulsed the enemy. Late re-
ports indicate that heavy fighting is
still proceeding in this district.
The Greeks are operating from Arta
toward Janina Metcheck, in the neigh
bOrhood Of Grimbovo.

Sofia, Oct. 24.-Kirk- -Kilisseh has
been catpured by the Bulgarian army
which has been fighting against the

fell prisoners to the Bulgarians.

Bunarhishar IA miles to the south
east. They left battery of field guns,
26 ammunition wagons and large
quantities Of ammunition and food
When the news was received at Sofia
vast crowds bearing the flags of all
the allied states formed professions
and marched to the Greek, Servian,
Russian and British legations, the
palace and the military club.
In front Of each the national an
