BY FRANKLIN p. MERRIck.

Paris, Feb 9.-Austrian troops are
reported to have violated Roumanian
neutrality by attempting to force a
passage across Roumanian territory,
in the Danube valley, twenty miles
cast of the Iron Gate.
A dispatch to tho Journal states

the war.
The Journal correspondent says that
tho Austrians opened fire upon the
Roumanian guards near Turnu .Sev'
erin, but that the Roumanian forces
being REINFORCED, drove back the Aus,

j. S. ENVOY REPORTS
FLAG INCIDENT
Ambassador Sends Statement to
Washington.
NO NOTE TO FOREIGN OFFICE
Captain Of Liner Did Not Receive
Orders From British Government
to Hoist Flaq-No Official State
ment Given at Capital.

London, England, Feb. 9.-Walter
Hines Page, the American ambassa-
dor in London, forwarded to the state
department at Washington a report
ON the Lusitania flag incident. The
ambassador informally reviews the
alleged use of the American flag by
the Cunard liner on entering Liver
pool harbor Saturday morning, as re-
lated to the members Of the embassy
staff by Americans who had crossed
the Atlantic on the vessel.
Mr. Page has not communicated
with the foreign office concerning the
incident and official communications
concerning the use of the American
flag by a British vessel have not
passed between the American and
British governments.
Chief Topic in London.
As the Lusitania carried $40 cabin
passengers, many of them prominent
Americans who have wide acquaint'
ance in London, the news of the Incl
dent spread rapidly in the hotels and
clubs until it has become almost the
sole topic Of conversation.
The British government maintains
that the captain Of the Lusitania was
not ordered by government officials to
use a neutral flag.
Britain Issues Statement.
Although it did not mention the
Lusitania specifically, the British for
eign Office issued a statement dealing
with the usage in general way. 1t
argues that the only effect in the case
Of a merchantmen flying a neutral
flag would be to compel belligerent
ship to investigate the nationality OF
the vessel and the character OF her
cargo before capturing her.

government regarded the incident.
II was said, however, that, while NJ

THE COMING OF MUNDELL

What promises to be the greatest
revival meeting in the history of
Clifton begins at the Methodist
church Sunday night, August 18th,
and will continue three or four
weeks.
This is not single church or de-
nominational effort, but a union of the
three protestant churches, and all
rother christians are cordially invited
to cooperate. In fact everybody in
this city is invited to attend and CO.
operate in every way possible in max
ing it a town-wide revival, for the
moral and spiritual uplift of the en-
tire community.
Evangelist Charles Mundell, the
boy Preacher" as he is called, who
has been secured to conduct the
campaign, began preaching at the age
of fifteen. Became a regular evange-
Est at the age of sixteen and was
ordained to the full work of the min
istry at the age of seventeen. AS
Boy Evangelist he conducted
some fifty revivals, in which over
two thousand professed faith in
Christ.
The most recent meetings conduct
Ell by Evangelist Mundell were pro-
nounced great. "At Colorado Springs,
Texas, there were 1874 protested con-
versions; at East Ell Paso, 225; at
Lordsburg, 1875; and his last meeting
at Rosenberg, Texas, a large number
gave evidence of a new life, churches
were wonderfully strengthened and
the moral of the entire community
changed.
Thus Rev Mundell comes to US
highly endorsed and commended by
the pastors with whom he has con-
Quoted meetings, both in Texas and
New Mexico.
A number of Clifton people attended
the Mundell meetings at Lordsburg
last spring and we're so much i'm
pressed with the evangelist that they
insisted upon his coming to Clifton
for campaign, and Clifton is to be
congratulated upon the fact that his
services has been secured.
Mr.. Lloyd Basford, of Austin, is the
efficient choirster. He is a young
man of twenty-five, with a rich tenor
voice and exceptional ability as a
leader. He has recently taken
special training in the University of
Texas in preparation for the work,
and invites all who will sing come
and join the big choir, and if you
play an instrument, bring it along
and play it, your services will be ap-
preciated.
Remember the time and place of the
meetings, which will start Sunday
night at the Methodist church. All
evening meetings will be held at
the Methodist church and the day
meetings will be alternated between
the Baptist and the Presbyterian
churches, or cottage prayer in the
various parts of town.
Let every christian pray and every
body boost to the end that this may
be thine of refreshing from the
presence of the Lord"
