Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to, THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD, Del, Oct. l5.-The
morning session of the State conven.
ton of the Christian Endeavor So.
ciety OF Delaware being held here.
was consumed by discussion of an
amendment to the constitution per
mitting the president to serve an in.
definite time. The amendment car.
ried.
The question was brought up early
IN the morning when IL was proposed
to have the president serve but two
years. The other half of the mem.
bers OF the society objected and out.
lined their opinion that the president
should be allowed the chair for an
indefinite time.
Another question which was lively
debated was that concerning the
vote Il is a fact that some churches
are represented in the convention by
as many as twelve delegates while
others have but one representative.
A vote was taken on the matter and
1t was finally decided to give each
society but one vote when amend.
ments to ne constitution are effected.
Because Of the conflict in the meet
ings of several other associations il
was decided to appoint a committee
for the purpose o fdeciding on a defn-
ite date for the holding Of the Endeav-
or convention. This action was the
outcome of the fact that several men,
bers have been reported absent be-
cause Of their attending other conven-
tions, such as the Baptist anniversary
and the Epworth League. The com
mittee will report back to the execu-
tive committee on their plans.
The nominating committee consists
Of DR.. Evans Roberts. chairman; Jo.
seph Nichols of Wilmington: Mr.. Nc

By The United Press.

PARIS. Oct. 15.-Austrians and
Germans we're desperately engaged
with the Servians south of the from
tier town Of Semendria today
Another battle ragged between Ser
yians and Bulgarians on the Servian
eastern frontier Tho Servians ac-
cused the Bulgarians OF crossing the
border, aiming to take Nish. The
Bulgarian account was that the Scr
vians were the invaders, with Sofia
as their objective, and that the Bull
garians chased them back into their
own territory The fight. however,
was not ended.
Servia formally notified London
that II had declared war on Bulgaria
today. Bulgaria was reported to have
made a declaration several DAYS ago
but there was no official announce
ment Of 1t, though Car Ferdinand
issued a statement today SAYING that
he had joined the central powers.
The Austrians and Germans were
advancing to the southwark of Rel
grade. Here also the Servians were
nghting a series Of rear guard ac-
tions.
The Teutonic drive toward Constan-
tinople was developing formidablv.
Reliable advices said Field Marshal
Won Mackensen had $50, 900 German
and Austrian troops. Il was estimated
that the Bulgarians numbered 300. 900
TO 100000 more. though experts point
ed out a large share Of this force
would be needed to guard the Greek
and Roumanian frontiers-if not to
light the Greeks and Roumanians-in-
stead Of joining in the drive.
From the allied capitals came state
ments indicating that a huge British.
French. Italian and Russian force
would be sent to oppose the Teutonic
advance.
II was admitted the Russians had
suffered a reverse in Galicia, though
Austrian and Russian accounts differ
concerning its extent The Germans

fever AMONG Students

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Oct. 15.-
After careful investigation by the in
spectors Of the Pennsylvania State
Board Of Health into the matter of
the typhoid fever cases among the
boys in the ST. Aloysius School at
the villa Maria Convent. il has been
found that the cause of the disease
is not the water supply of the town.
II is believed that the stricken lads
contracted the fever from eating wa
tercress while they were out in the
country on a hike several weeks ago.
The analysis of the water here
shows no cause for the typhoid. but
the dosing of the water at the pump
ing station and reservoir with
chlorides is being continued as a pre-
cautionary measure. After a thorough

Charles T. Wilder. tax assessor and
collector of the first taxation division.
The bill for Injunction asks that the
collector and his deputies and agents
! be perpetually enjOined and restrained
from collecting any taxes or attempt
ing to collect any taxes, on Capt. Cas-
sells automobile The matter is before
Judge w. l.. Whitney's court.
1t is stated in the bill that Scho-
field Barracks is a military Feserya-
ton, owned and used by the United
States, and that at all times it has
been under the exclusive jurisdiction
of the United States.
The bill continues that on January
/, 1915, the date on which taxes are
levied on all property in the territory,
Capt Cassels was, and now is, owner
of an automobile, and that at no time
during the first day of January, 1915,
was the automobile without the con-
fines of Schofield Barracks.
1t is stated that Capt Cassels has
made no return of the automobile for
taxation for the year 1915 to the tax
assessor or any deputy assessor for
the first taxation division. n
Since January / and prior to May
1, says the bill, the deputy tax asses
sor for the Eva district assessed Capt.
Cassels' automobile for taxes in the
sum of $685., purporting to assess
the machine for the annual automo
bile tax for 1915 under the terms of
section 1928 of the revised laws OF
Hawaii.
In conclusion, the bill says that the
automobile was at no time on January
/ within the jurisdiction OF the terri.

ORANGE INVALUABLE -"
AS HEALTH STIMuLANT

AN apple day keeps the doctor
away" is an old adage, and the same
may be said of the orange, as it has
an equally fine effect on the entire
system. If one is inclined to acidity
of the stomach, the juice of an Or
ange is counter irritant. If the
stomach is weak the juice of an or
ange before breakfast is an excellent
tonic for the entire day. If one is
dieting to reduce, one or two oranges
eaten at noon will nourish, fill the
aching void in the stomach and re-
duce rather than add to the weight
r An orange always quenches the
thirst, and in travelling it is much SAT
er to eat an orange than to drink
stale water. A hot orangeade before
going to bed on a cold night warns
the entire body and soothes the ner-
vous system. 80. .-
The peel of an orange thrown into
a hot tub softens the water to the
extent that the whole body benefits
by it. For cleansing the face soak a
bit of orange peel in basin of warm
water, then go carefully over the face
with the peel; afterwards rinse in
the water in which the peel was
soaked 1t is far more cleansing than
cold cream and never promotes the
growth of hair.
Orange peel if soaked overnight
tinges the water with yellow, making
it excellent for washing chamois or
doeskin gloves, as in uncolored wa.
ter they soon become too white. BY
the way, doeskin gloves are a great
economy, as they wear wonderfully
