Genealogical Convention
Il. Sessions 20 BE Held, Two Each
In lehi, American Fork and
Pleasant Grove.

Next Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
ay there will be three genealogical
conventions held In Lehi, American
Fork and Pleasant Grove. These will
iot be three conventions doing dup
icatc work, but will be different SEES
sions Of the same convention.
In order to get all the information
% be given It will be necessary to
attend all the sessions. The reason
for holding them in the three different
cities is that the trouble of preparing
lunches for the visitors will thus be
divided, and 1t Is thought that the at
cndance will thus be increased.
The convention will be Under the
direction of Stake Relief Societies,
who viii preside at the meetings,
which VIII be held at 10 o'clock a. m.
and | o'clock p. m. each day.
The meetings at Lehi will be held
in the Tabernacle, at American Fork
In the City Hall, and at Pleasant
Grove In the Tabernacle. Black
boards will be used on which dia-
rams will be drawn, showing how
he records should re kept. etc.
The meetings are Of great Import
snce to those who are making an eff
fort to gather genealogy, and partic-
liarly to those who intend doing Tenn
pie work. II is desired by those hav.
Ing the matter in charge that there
MOI only be special Representatives
from each OF the wards, but that there
Je general attendance of all inter-
ssted at all Of the meetings, as the
ectures will bee consecutive talks, and
any one missing any OF them will miss
part OF the plan work.
Elder Nephi Anderson and Mrs.
aura Williams will be the Salt Lake

Quarterly Conference
Tabernacle Crowded mt Sunday Serv'
ices-Two Apostles and Church
Historian Present.

The regular quarterly conference
OF the Alpine stake convened In the
Lehi Tabernacle last Saturday and
Sunday There was good attend
ance at all thessessions, and Sunday
many were unable to get seats. though
additional chairs we're brought In
and filled the aisles.
The splendid weather and the inter
urban train service had much to do
towards making the attendance i'm
mense. Special cars were run Sun
day for the morning, afternoon and
evening sessions, and probably five
hundred people came from Pleasant
Grove aud American Fork this way
President A. j. Evans took charge
of the forenoon session and President
James H. Clarke presided over the
afternoon session. The principal
speaker Saturday was President Ly-
man of the Quorum of Apostles and
Andrew Jensen, church historian
Presidents Evans and Clarke also
made brief addresses and reported
the condition of the stake, which on
the whole was most satisfactory.
President Lyman took advantage OF
the following day being 'go to church
Sunday" and dwelt on the advan-
tages of attending church. Person
ally he had never missed a Sabbath
day meeting when 1t was possible for
him to attend. He spoke Of honoring
the old folks and making their clos
ing days pleasant ones; also of his
missionary travels and experiences.
Elder Andrew Jensen, who had been
most every scene in church history,
gave a most interesting talk of his
travels and emphasized the import
ancc OF keeping correct church rec
ords.
Sunday forenoon President Evans
called the meeting to order and Presi
dent Chapman presided. He spoke
with emphasis, disappearing of the
many clubs being organized, and said
that none should be organized with
out first consulting the bishop or
stake presidency and obtaining their
consent. Too often they conflict In
| time of meeting with church organ
izations and take too much OF the
members time, so that the church
organizations suffer. There are plenty
OF organizations in the church for
the members welfare and should any
more become necessary the Lord will
inspire His servants to organize
more. II something is not done these
outside clubs will prove to be him
drance. There are plenty of activi-
ties in the primary-the NJ |. A., the
Sunday schools, the religious classes
and the relief societies for all church
MEMBERS and the advice of the stake
presidency is that the members re-
frain from organizing more without
the bihsops consent

AUSTRIAN CONSUL
Discounts Reports of Exten-
sive Action in Galicia and
Announces Continued Tri-
umph Over Serbs.

Official news Of great victories by the
Austo-llungariau army over the Ser
vaus was received by wireless today
from tho Foreign Office at Vienna The
Austrans have penetrated into Scrvia
more than 20 miles and captured strong
positions on the Drina River, according
TO the report. Like messages conveyed the
news that the attack of the French fleet
on Cattaro had proved failure, only
slight damage being done.
In Philadelphia this afternoon George
Won Griyicic, Austro-Hungarian Consul
General, gave out this statement, an
nounCnS the successes of the Austrians:
According to wireless news received
nc fight occurred in Galca during the
last few days except some EnimpOrtant
skirlnishes. The weather is said to be-
very unfavorable, but the troops of the
Austro- Hungarian army are in excel
lent condition.
News circulating and asserting that
the Russians were defeating and cutting
of General Dankls army near Przemysl
ana that his troops We're in dissolution
pursued by the enemy. is therefore
again pure inventions with the avowet
intent to impress public opinion in neu-
tral countries. The alleged two davs'
more than an engagement with outposts
Of the Austro-HungarIan army, the main
forces of which are concentrating east
OF the fortress of Cracow. while its
right wing is using the fortress of

Equally incorrect Is all news which
p"rsstcntIy contend that a famine had
broken out in Austria Hungary. and that
depressed feeling prey ails among the
soldiers of the army and among the popu-
lation of the monarchy. \ wireless tele-
gram just received emphasizes to the
contrary that the ueoplo, as we'll as the
army are in hest of spirits and have fulls
confidence in final victory.
Particularly pleasing was news OF re-
cent successful engagements with Ssrvi-
ans. After several days OF hard fighting
important Servian positions west Of Kru-

THROTTLED WITHOUT.
DISASTERS TO NAVY
Winston Churchill Declares
British Victory on Sea Is
Not Needed-Never Fear
ed War With Italy.
LONDON. Sent. %.

LONDON, Sept 25
Germany is throttled on the sea a.
effectively as IL British ships had won
great naval victory, according to Wins.
ton Churchill, First Lord of the Admir-.
atty.
Asked as to the naval situation, hs
said
"A great battle on the sea has NOT
yet been fought, but we enjoy as great
command of the sea and as free use n,
our sea power as we should have after a
decisive engagement. What is there 10,
instance, that we could do then that wa
are not doing now?
German trade has ceased German
supplies have been largely strangled. Our
trade In all essentials is going on unin-
terruptedly. Materials of industry and
food of the people are entering the coun.
try daily In vast quantities, at CONNER
cial prices. We are moving scores of
thousands of men across all the oceans
of the world. Our submarines are block
aiding the very throat of the Elbe.
A correspondent asked what impression
was made in England and on the British
Government by the Italian declaration OF
neutrality. Mr. Churchill answered:
I'VE always thought it was impossible
for Italy to fight with Austria or to
fight against England, and in all our
Admiralty arrangements for the Mediter-
ranean since l have been here, we have
always acted on the certainty that Italy
would be neutral, and measured our own
naval force only against Austria"
THE COLLAPSE OF AUSTRIA.
OF the Adrlatic situation after the war
he said:
"The great changes that will come will
result from the collapse of Austria on
land. The greatest feature yet apparent
In the course of the war is the collapse
of Austria as a military factor That
collapse appears to be irreparable, and
that is tremendous event in the history
of the world.
Italy would have nothing to apprehend,
navally, from victory of England and
France. She would always be strong
enough to deal with Austria on the sea,
unless, of course, a victorious Germany
came t. the aid of Austria. If Germany
succeeded in the war, and English power
were broken, Germany could, of course,
send as many ships as she liked to Join
the Austrian fleet, and could send them
much quicker than Italy could build
them
