 on Minutes

Selma, November 20 -- Special, !, Huntsville won out over Evergreen ir a spirited contest for the next meet ing of the Alabama Baptist State con vention. The 1915 convention will open November 16.
 Tho convention, in its closing hours Thursday night, heard the report on aged and inflrm ministers. which was read by Henry B. Foster. About 2s old ministers are aided by this board. A great many spoke briefly and urged the hearty support of this fund.
 J. A. Carnley read the report of wom- ans work. The report showed that the state had been divided into five districts and that three workers are in the field The report showed that there were organizations in CT associations, that while they had in their organization one-fifteenth of the church membership they gave one-third of the money.
 The state convention elected II. s. D. Mallory of Selma and w w. Camp bell of Tuskegee to represent the state convention at the state temperance convention, to be held in Montgomery January 26 and 27

the discussions were regarded gas abso- lutely confidential. He had nothing to conceal. If he told the Washington au- thorities what he is reported to have said to his friends in this financial district, his communication. so far as it officially rep resented the British treasury, conveyed the desire of that treasury to secure as much gold as possible from the United States
 Apparently the British treasury realized that with the organization of the federal reserve system and with the underwriting of two gold pools. one national and the other local. which in the aggregate reached nearly s20o0oo0oo, the United States would be by the end of the year in a position to say that as matter of ac- commodation or to relieve pressing eIner- gencies in London we were willing to let more gold go, notwithstanding the enor- nous amounts We have exported since January l, but the amount would be rela- lively small. Therefore the hope was that as an immediate result of SIT Georges visit England would get large amounts of gold.
 When Sir George sailed from England the belief evidently prevailed in the treas
  ing system would not be in operation be- fore December l. possibly not before the first of the new year. That system, it was known, would enable us easily to con trol our gold.
 Sir George will be able to take back to London a report of the conditions as they were when he arrived in the United States and as they were when he sailed late in November. The underlying fact which will be brought home vividly to the high authorities of London is the demon strated financial strength of the United States and the masterly ability with which the new generation of American financiers and bankers has handled the original and difficult problems which in August they were compelled to face.

HOW THE KARLSRUHE
 PREYS ONCOMMERCE.
German Cruiser Sets Traps for Enemies Vessels, 5
 Claim Passengers

New York. November 20.-How the Ger
 man cruiser Karlsruhe set traps for yes sells flying the flags of nations at war
 with Germany was told by passengers of
 the Lamport and Holt liner vandyck, , captured by the Karlsruhe while en route
 from Buenos Ayres to New York. These
 passengers arrived here Thursday on the
 steamship Sac Paulo from Para.
 Capt. Hans Fritsch of the German naval
 reserve, commanding the steamer Asun-
 cion. to which those aboard the vandyck were first transferred. gave the passen- gers the information. Captain F'ritsch said that the Karlsruhe was constantly accompanied by four captured merchant vessels, manned by prize crews. The fio- tilla spread out over line about 150 miles long. When a vessel flying the enemy s flag was sighted by one ship, the wireless rotified the Karlsruhe which, with su- perior speed, would dash in and capture the prize.
 Captain Fritisch said the Karlsruhe had captured r ships in or near equatorial Atlantic waters.
 Daniel Iindo of New York, as spokes- man for the 174 former passengers aboard the Sac Paulo, told the following story of the capture of the Vandyck: ''The Vandyck left Buenos Ayres Octo- Der 15 with 1ss passengers and a crew of 2i0 The British cruiser Bristol conveyed the ship between Rio Janeiro and Bahia. "On the morning of the 26th, after we left Bahia. we saw a gray war vessel coming in our direction at great speed. Soon we found out that the warship was the Karlsruhe and that the VandyclS was a prize of war. In the wake of the cruiser
 there came the steamship Earn, which we learned later was a captured vessel. "A longboat filled with officers and men then put off from the cruiser. Officers came aboard and, after inspecting the ships papers, informed us that we would be transferred to another vessel and taken into some port.
 Three other vessels also came up They were the Rio Negro, the Asuncon and the Indrani. The first two used to be yes sells of the Hamburg-American line; the Indrani was a captured vessel. The next morning the passengers were taken to the Asuncion.
 'The Asuncion. with 5u persons aboard, patrolled north and south over a path 60 miles long for six days. That was done to prevent news of the capture of the VandyclS from becoming known The Karlsruhe was watching for the steam ship Vestria, which was bound south, and which was reported to be nearby.

Knows That America Plants to Pro- tect Herself If Securities Held Abroad Are Dumped on

By HOLLAND

New York. November 20.-(special.) Some disposition, not strong. has been manifested in the financial district to be- little the visit of Sir George Paish to the United States and his conferences with ths administration officers at Washing ton. Yet it is commonly felt here that fhe visit and the conferences, at least with the American bankers, have been of avail. The understanding is that when meeting bankers Sir George has been frank and has invariably spoken with ad- miration of the manner in which the financial leaders of the United States met and overcame the crisis which began early in August He is also understood to be of the opinion that the crisis has prac- hcally ended, and that the Americans are masters of the situation now.
 Whatever criticism has been heard seems to have been aimed at what was thought to be the unnecessary secrecy which characterized his conferences al Washington. Good friends of Sir George say that 1t was not at his request that

SPORTS
MAY HAVE BOXING
DECISIONS IN NEW
YORK BOUTS SOON.


New York Jan. 2S.-Omcial decis-
ions on boxing bouts in New York
state. which has not been allowable
since the Frawley law went into eff
feet, may be permitted in the near fu
tuie. The state athletic commission
which has sole charge of the question
now has under consideration a plan
which is likely To get a trial, even
though 1t may not become a perma-
aent feature. The Frawley law con-
tains no mention i'm favor Of or against
the giving of decisions. but the COM
mission made II decision against them
at ITS first meeting, and has since re-
fused To make any change.
The plan under consideration is the
same as that now in force in amateur
boxing contests. II calls for two judges
who shall occupy seats at different
sides of the ring and confer with the
referee at the close of the bout Each
judge will have as much power as the
referee, and the majority rule will pre-
vail. The verdict will be announced
Immediately after the three have con-
ferred at the end Of the bout.
one of the commissioners, when
asked yesterday about the likelihood
of such Il rule being put in force. said
This suggestion was made at our
last meeting by prominent boxing
promoter who declared that there
would be more satisfaction if some OF
fetal decision could be rendered after
each bout. The present plan of having
only newspaper decisions, which often
vary widely, is far from satisfactory,
he told us. We realize, too that this
is true but up to the present time
we have felt that decisions by referees
might prove injurious to the sport.
That is our only reason for not allow
ing decisions. But there is considerable
merit i'm the plan of having two judges
and referee, and it would not ho sur
prising if the idea was adopted. We
expect to bring il up for consideration
1T one of our future meetings"

British Regimental Marches

Each regiment of the British army
claims one particular refrain as its
"regimental march"
Most of these tunes are linked up
in some way with the history of the
regiments To which they belong
For instance the renowned "Ca ira"
of the West Yorkshire regiment was
adopted during a campaign in France.
when the regiment was known as the
Fourteenth foot. During the siege of
Tournay the defenders frequently
PLAYED the "Ca ira"
Later, with a touch of dramatic
irony the besiegers marched to pos
sess the city to the strains Of the same
tune.
These re%imental marches are used
especially ON review days and on sew
cral other occasions, such as leaving or
entering camp or barracks. When most
reSimental bands give concerts the
'rcgimental march and the national
anthem close the program.
Perhaps one of the most famous Of
all ''rcgmental marches is The Brit
ish Grcnadiers.' This belongs to the
Grenadier Guards, Royal Engineers,
ana the ROYAL Artillery Hearts of
Oak" Is the property OF the Royal
Marine light infantry, while ~ Life
