Alarming Stories Of War

BERLIN, GERMANY, Nov. % Fol-
lowing long editorials evidently written
in the hope of quelling the excitement
the German newspapers published most
alarming reports in their news columns
of the military preparations Austria is said
to be making.
Ohicialdom still insists today that a
general European clash over the Balkans
is unlikely, but the people tremble.
It is certain at any rate that extensive
military preparations are being made.
No one can fail to see them.
The Vienna Raichspost is authority
for the assertion that despite all denials,
Russia is concentrating strongly on the
Austrian frontier In Austria seven army
corps are being placed on war footing.
1t lie reported that Austria has asked
Russia what the Gar meant by che mil
itary movements in progress in his conn
try and the Gar said that it was made
necessary by internal conditions.
BUDAPEST, Nov. 23 The Danube
flotilla consisting of two monitors, two
torpedo beats and four gunboats started
for Belgrade this afternoon, not on any
hostile mission, it was stated, but devel-
opments are considered ominous.
Employees of the street railway were
also ordered to report to their regular
commanders tomorrow.
The flotllla's departure created ire
meudous sensation and newspaper Offices
were deluged with telephone inquiries as
to whether war has been declared. They
have been forbidden for several days I'M
der heavy penalties to publish anything
concerning military or naval movements.

success that we have had in the drug
business to the fact that we have al

the opinion that colored men in busi-
ness can add considerably to the vol
ume of trade done by advertising their
wares in race papers.
white men who are successful
along business lines continually let the
people know what they have to sell by
advertising. Another factor in bust
ness success is letting the public have
the right goods at the right prices, and

mics of the cross.
Pastor Wallace assisted by the Holy
Spirit, is conducting the meetings.
Truly the church is being revived.

for the success of the recent rally
have been pressed into service. The
captains are captains of salvation. We
invite all Christians to Come over
in Macedonia and help us"
Several names of loved ones were
handed in last Sunday night for
prayer We are praying for the
ones who handed the names in
as well as those whose names appear
on the cards. Let those who wish
their friends saved come into the
meetings and help save them.
Mrs. Wallace and the children ar
rived home safe but much fatigued,
all the trains being late. She sends
her best regards to all inquiring
friends.

works, which they shall behold, glo-
rify God in the day of visitation. l

wherever men strive in a common
cause at home or abroad either for
racial or national honor the colored
man shoulders his share Of the respon-
