FUND STARTED FOR
STRICKEN MILLIONS
Of Europe by Board of Foreign
Missions of Methodist Church
Taken the Place of Prosperity
Perjury and Misery Has
And Contentment-How Can
Christendom Give Relief?

New York. Sept. 16.--The opening
OF a War Relief Fund for the stricken
millions in Europe was announced
today by the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Through the columns of its
UNCONVENTIONAL press an appeal will
this week receive wide publicity This
document. signed by the president and
corresponding secretaries OF the Board
of Foreign Missions. reads, in part, as
follows:
1.-THE present war disaster is the
most stupendous in the history OF
mankind. The men of the warning
armies are counted by millions. AL
ready the dead and wounded number
tens of thousands. In countless homes
prosperity and contentment have given
place to perjury and misery. Famine
and desolatien are following fast.
The burning question of the hour
Is How can Christendom give relief?''
I'm other great wars more or less
adequate steps have been taken by the
churches for relief work and for spirit
ual ministry. During our own Civil
War the Christian Commission was
organized. In the Japanese Russian
war, in addition to the Red Cross
work. the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION sent a strong staff of work
ers with the armies to the front.
1T is reported that in France two
hundred and fifty Protestant pastors
have shouldered their rifles and
marched to the front. Nearly all the
Methodist preachers in Germany are
bearing arms. Men who might be
performing spiritual ministries are
forced to serve in the ranks of oppos-
ing armies. The churches are disor-
ganized and Methodist communities
are torn and impoverished.
THAT the Methodist Episcopal
Church, through it's Board of Foreign
Missions, may be in position to act
promptly. a. Methodist War Relief
Fund has been opened"

tieue their advance into Bosnia. The
Servians, it is said, have advanced %
miles beyond Semlin, so that in this
event it is evident that little opposition
is being offered them.
While all this lighting is going on on
land, the British navy has not been idle.
1t is learned that the German cruiser
Hela, which was reported yesterday from
Berlin to have been sunk, was attacked
six miles from Helgoland by a British
submarine, which made raid toward
that German stronghold. The subma-
rine in question, which was commanded
by Lieut.. Commander Max X. Horton,
has returned to her base in safety.
Whether she was accompanied by other
submarines has not been disclosed in the
admiralty report. but as these vessels
usually travel in squadrons, accompanied
by cruiser as a parent ship it is prob
able that the E-9, the vessel which tor
pedoed the Hela, was not alone.

What such a plan cannot compass, the

THREE MONTHS IN
JAIL FOR ILLEGAL
VOTING, PORTLAND
John Gibbie Found Guilty in Mu.
nicipal Court-Appeals and
Gives $500 Bail

Portland, Me-, Sept. 16,-Illegal vot-
ing In Ward Six in the State election
of Monday last occupied the attention
of Judge John F. A. Merrill in the
municipal court today. and after a
lengthy hearing of the case against
John Gibbie. the respondent was found
guilty of having voted Illegally on the
name OF Anton Peterson and was SEN
fenced to serve three months in Jail.
Through his attorney, Jacob H. Ber-
man, he appealed and furnished bail
In the sum of $500 for his appearance
in the Superior Court in January.
After the States case had been rest
ed by Assistant County Attorney
James r. Parsons, Attorney Berman
movedmoved for discharge of his CHI
emit on the ground that the state had
not made out a case He contended
that the state had not shown that
the crime alleged had been committed
at legally called election and had
not proved that the respondent voted.
Attorney Parsons argued that the tes
timony of Chief Dresser was to the
effect that the respondent had admit
ted that he voted in the name of an
other; and that seward election off,
GERS had testified that they were on
duty in the polling place at the State
election, should be sufficient to prove
a prima facie case.
Judge Merrill ruled that the State
had made out a prima facie case, and
Attorney Berman thereupon withdrew
his plea OF not guilty and entered a
plea Of guilty.

stronghold, except as it offers support
to the French in case the allies are
compelled to retire.
The Germans on this long line cover
as many lines of retreat as possible,
including those to Namur, Givet, Me-
zieres, Sedan and Stenay and should
soon be ready, If they have not al
ready commenced, to give battle, or
if the offensive comes from the other
side, to defend their positions. 1t is
believed that Gen. Joffre, the French
commander in chief. retains the initia-
tive. having received reinforcements
to relieve his worked troops,
but whether he will try again to en-
velop the German right, or to break
UP the Crown Princes army on the
left remains to be seen. 1t is known
that the German right has been con-
siderably reinforced, so that it would
be more difficult than before to work
around that wing.
Neither side has attempted to make
any estimate Of the losses in killed
wounded and captured during the bat.
tie of the Marine, but they must have
been enormous.
Many German prisoners have fallen
into the hands OF the British and SO
many prisoners and stragglers have
been taken by the French that the
minister of war refuses to make an
estimate, for fear of being accused OF
exaggeration.
The losses In Galicia and Poland
where fighting has been going on in
cessantly for more than three weeks
are even greater than those in France
and according to Official reports, the
Russians are still following the AUS
TRAN and German forces in the hope
of striking another blow before they
can reform.
One report from Petrograd says that
the Russians have severed commune
cations between Kracow and Pryze-
mysl, the two fortresses to which the
Austrians and their German allies are
heading. and have begun an advance
to sever communications between
Galicia and Budapest.
Meanwhile. the Russian general Rem
nenkampf, who, according to Russian
reports. invaded East Prussia to COM
pei the Germans to withdraw troops
from the West and thus relieve pres
sure on the Allies, Is having some DIFF
flculty in extrfcating his army from a
difficult position. He has been COM

The opinion is held that the Germans
plan some bold stroke against Rannen-
kampf before the troops which have been
engaged in Galicia can reach him. 1t is
pointed out, however. that it would be q
bold stroke indeed for the Germans to
attack the Russian forts on the frontier
or invade country that within a few
weeks will be marsh and later Rsnow-
