sidered several minor cases, mostly
cases against negroes charged with
selling blind tiger liquor. So far only
one tiger case has been disposed of.

to rid the city of bootleggers and IT,
gers.
Besides the tiger cases, several par
ties will be tried on charges of bur-
glary, wife beating and larceny.

moralized Russian columns fleeing be-
fore the well-organized and equipped

Austrians feared to continue the pur-
suit, until stronger lines of communf-

been operating against the Russian
center along the line of the Gneilaipa
river, reporting to Berlin late this
afternoon. announces a further Rus

CONVENTION WILL

WORLD CONVENTION WILL BE AT.

MANY ALONE WILL NOT BE REP
RESENTED
(By Associated Press.) }

CHICAGO, June ga review of the
work of Christian Endeavor in every
land, plans for its further extension,
and the discussion of virtually every
phase of religious activity, will come
before the World Convention of the
Society of Christian Endeavor, which
meets in the coliseum at Chicago, July
7-12.
1t is expected that $4,000 delegates,
representing 100000 evangelical
churches throughout the world, will
be in attendance.
The convention is the first worlds
meeting since that at Agra, India, in
1909, as sudden outbreak of small
pox in Australia necessitated the can
collation. of the meeting arranged to
be held at Sydney, N s. W., in 1913.
When originally planned more than
year ago, it was expected that the Chi
cago convention would be the largest
in the history of the organization. The
war, however, will materially affect
the European representation, and it is
possible that there will be no dele
gates from either Germany or Austria.
Representatives from England, France,
Spain, Italy. Persia, India, Siam, Chi
ma, Japan, Australasia, Africa and l.
tin America have already reached the
United States or are on their way.
On July 6, the day preceding the
opening of the convention, the 500th
anniversary of the martydom of Joha
Huss, the Bohemian religious leader,
who was burned at the stake, will be
observed. Another break in the chain
of convention meetings will be the Ath-
letic Field Day. planned for July 10, on
the field of the University of Chicago.
The sports will be under the direction
of A. A. Stagg, chairman of the ath
letic department of the university.
The convention as body will dis
cuss the worldwide topics of temper
ance, missions, and peace. Reports
from the field including many from the
various countries involved in the war,
will be IreseLted on the closing lay.
Among the other topics that will ne,
taken DIP are: "The Advantage OF
Christian Unity as Expressed in Co.
operative Movements, in Home Mis-
sions, in Evangelism, in Foreign Mis-
sions and in International Relations,
"The Sunday School," "The Prayer
