ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 27.-Atlanta
church circles are all stirred up over
the dropping of ten prominent mem

First Methodist church, the said drop
ping having been done by the pastor,
Rev. H. M. DuBose, who has been max
ing persistent fight on social locker
clubs. DR.. DuBose aroused comment
some months ago by declaring that
! man should get out of locker club
or out of the church, or words to that
effect, but his own members did
neither.
This was followed this week by DR..
| DuBose's nominations to the board
laid before the quarterly conference of
the church, in which the following ten
old stewards were conspicuously miss

that DR.. DuBose's activities against the

many of his members belong, has for
some time greatly displeased his flock,

they must accept Dr. DuBose, who
came here from Nashville, Tenn, until
it pleases the conference to remove
him. And he has just been returned
for another two years.

my ear: when are we going to

We have been here three hours now,
the shells come nearer to us. Some
explode over our heads. And we are
standing still. Something is going to
happen to us, but what?
Through the smoke which now COW
ers the plain, something dark shoots
out, then another and still another,
What is it? Now l can see. Cannons

Over my head, seemingly coming
starlight from the sky, a huge bird it
might be, and half a second after
deafening thunder. Again | am COW

men, those closest to me, are on the

one goes near; we are not allowed to

pockets.

Near Dixmude, Belgium, Oct. "a
The part which | am taking in this
battle, which has been raging for three
days, is beginning to convince me
that the duty of a soldier may simply
be to remain a spectator instead of an
actor.
This morning at o'clock we were
ordered to stand in compact formation,
guns to the ground at the foot of a
small hill covered with bushes. A
white frost covered the ground and
the men when we arose from the
trenches. My joints are so stiff that
O stand is a torture. A pound of cof-
fee for 40 men was our breakfast.
If the coffee was like muddy water, it
was at least hot and it did US good.
And there we are, not allowed to
smoke or exercise our stiffened joints.
Hear Cannon in the Distance.
In the distance we hear the cannon;
nearby passes the cavalry, with a
noise resembling an earthquake. The
side of the hill shakes under my feet,
so numerous are the horses. The sa-
bers clashing against the mems boots
and the tanks of the horses add to the
noise. Above the hill, right over our
heads, shells have been flying for
nearly an hour. In the light of early
morning each shell, as it goes Shrek
ing by, is surrounded by little cloud
of white smoke.
Little by little the horizon is filled
with smoke. One would think t.uu-
derstorm was approaching. Soon other
regiments come and take position
alongside of u.s. Between each regi-
ment is posted battery of artillery;
mouths turned toward the coming
storm. In the plain before us a multi
tude of men are moving. Large, COM
pact masses all coming toward us
They are our regiments, but why are
they coming this way? The enemy's
shells hit behind us on the other side
of the hill. They have not got the
range-lucky for US.

Ranks of the Germans Melt.

What's this in the plain in front of
us? Red flowers seem to have sprung
suddenly. They move, disappear, jump
in the air. Thousands gather around
the bushes. THE French" whispers our
corporal in front The red caps seem
to cover the plain How did they get
there so quickly?
Now bees seem to hum all around us.
| can't see them, but hear them plain
ly. The French are within rifle range
now and potting our men. The cap
tain passes in front of us, saying:
The first to turn his back will be
shot" His revolver in his hand looks
wicked and the men stand firm.
I can see over 20 of my company on
the ground nearby. l start to count
them, but am interrupted every min
ute by: CLOSE your ranks" One of
the wounded is screaming loudly and
our corporal goes over to give him
drink, but falls right on top of the
wounded man, dead. Are we ever going
to fight?
1t is getting worse; our ranks seem
to melt, and l have closed the rank
until l am so feet away from where
I first stood.
The man next to me now is mum
bling. All l hear is: ooh, Blessed Vir-
gin!" He is praying. The Vir-
gin must have heard him, for a shout
runs down the line and a mounted Of
ficer rushes by, crying: Your turn
now, hurrah! forward"
Up go our guns. Down come the
bayonets. It's a charge. Across the
road, over a ditch, l run as fast as the
rest and reach the plain. forget the
aching joint, wounded comrade and
legless man. All l see are the red
caps few hundred yards away. They
are kneeling and shooting. Thousands

pitched to his knees. Just then our
captains horse went over him and
trampled him.
1t seems we will never reach those
red caps. They are still kneeling and
shooting. l stumble and fall; my face
in the dust. Up again and forward
Suddenly the kneeling line of red
caps rises together. The shooting stops
and with lowered bayonets they rush
at us. On my right and left my com
rades stop. The officers curse and one
strikes me with the fiat of his sword:

Germans Turn and Flee.
But the strength seems to have left
me- The men all around me are turn
ing. The one in front has just thrown
his gun to the ground and is running
back, his hands waving in the air like
a mailman. Another throws his gun
away and in minute all have done the
same. We are all running toward the
hill, falling over the wounded, tramp

there is nothing makes me happier in

ALL EUROPE SEEKS BALANCE

New York Bankers Assert Many Other
Nations Would Emulate France
and Norway.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Bankers with
connections abroad said there was
hardly a European government which
had not approached this country with
a veiw to placing a loan here to meet
the extraordinary strain brought on by
the war So far none of these negoti-
ations, except those instituted by
France and Norway, for 100000 and
100000, respectively, has succeeded.
The loan to France developed a diff
ference of opinion among bankers in
the financial district, those with a
leaning toward Germany criticising
the transaction as making it just so
much more difficult for the United
States to accumulate a trade balance.

Holland, By Turning LeOer,
Can Flood Land and
Hold Kaiser at Bay

flor cutting the dams and bikes were
! crude and slow. But the development
| of the science of hydraulic engineer
| ing and of irrigation has enabled the
government of Queen Wilhelmina to
inaugurate devices which are a pro-
found secret.
Has Germany managed to acquire
possession of this state secret of Hol-
land, which is the key to the latter's
entire system of defense against any
violation of her neutrality? All that
our authority can say is that few
years ago a Dutch army engineer Of
ficer, employed in a very important
confidential capacity at the Waterstaat
department, was suddenly arrested,
tried behind closed doors, and sentence
ed to Imprisonment for life-there be-
ing no death penalty in Holland-the
only explanation vouchsafed by the
Dutch authorities being that he had
sold plans relating to the national de-
fenses to the military attache of for
eign legation at The Hague.
Invasion Contemplated by Kaiser.
That the kaiser has contemplated a
violation of the neutrality of the
Netherlands, in the event of his be-
coming involved in war with France,
has long been surmised, not only in
the Netherlands, but also in the var
ious capitals of Europe.
For, as recently as 1910, the minister
of foreign affairs at The Hague was
compelled to admit in the legislature
that Queen Wilhelmina had received a
letter from neighboring sovereign in
which he notified her that, greatly to
his regret, he would be obliged in the
event of a war with France TO occupy
Holland unless the latter placed her
self in a state of defense against
Great Britain by construction of pow
