SENTIMENT SAID TO
FAVOR CONSOLIDATION
Action ON Joining of Two Clubs VIII
BE Delayed at Least An
other Week.

Action on the proposed cOnsolida-
ton of the Chamber OF Commerce
and Commercial Athletic club is ex-
pected TO be delayed for at least a
week or two. The committees from
the two organizations named last
week to confer on the matter will
probably meet. following the return
of Gene Warner. president of the
Commercial Athletic club, who is now
on a wedding trip in the west. The
club committee expects to confer with
Warner and the directors before
meeting with the Chamber of Com
merCe committee.
Sentiment at the athletic club is
reported i'm favor Of the consolidation.
The members feel that each orgqni-
zation viii be materially strengthened
by the amalgamation and that each
will gain by a TRANSMISSION of new ac-
tivity as will naturally follow.
IL is being held that the athletic
club has during the past few years
become almost a purely social organ
ization. while the Chamber of Com
merce has taken a directly opposite
tack. Ii is believed that a happy me-
dunn can be struck in both social and
business activities by a consolidation
of the two organizations.

CIVIL WAR IN INDIA
MAY FOLLOW VICTORY
Prof. y. T.. Gilmore Says Fall of Con
stantinOple May Result
Seriously.

Civil war in India as result of the
possible taking of COnstanunople by
the allies, was predicted by Prof. w.
T. ElmOre, who recently returned
from a long stay in that country, in
his stereOpucOn lecture at the First
Baptist church Monday evening. Prof.
Gilmore was for many years a teacher
in a missionary theological seminary
in India, and his lecture was descrip-
tive of a camera trip through the
country taken just before his return
to America.
English people interested in India,
he stated, are anxious about the con-
sequences of the fall of Constantine
pie. The small response of the Mo-
hammedans of India 10 the appeal of
Turkey to enter the "hOly war was
taken as a sign of encouragement, but
il is feared that the taking of Constan-
tinople by the allies may cause an up
rising that Will plunge the country in
10 internal conflict
Mr.. Elmore took his audience
on a trip through the country by the
means of 100 stereopticon slides and
his descriptive lecture telling of the
various places shown. and of the life
and customs Of the people. He show
ed many views Of Calcutta, Bombey
and other northern cities. containing
pictures Of the buildings OF the mis-
sionary societies located there.
he told Of the conditions that are
responsible for midas 26,000,0 00 child
widows. and the difference between
the lives of the natives before and
after they have felt the influence OF
the Christian missionaries.
