thur Foley to those reported by Con
sui Frost. Three other Americans

OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUED,

The following official communities
ton was issued at Berlin:
The Cunard liner Lusitania was
torpedoed by a German submarine
and sunk
The Lusitania was naturally
armed with guns as were recently
most of the English merchantmen.
Moreover as is we'll known here, it
had large quantities of war material
in its cargo It's owners. therefore,
knew what danger the passengers
were exposed to They alone bear all
the responsibility for what has hap
pened. Germany. on its part, left
nothing undone to repeatedly and
strongly warn them The imperial
ambassador in Washington even went
SO far as to make public warning so
as to draw attention to this danger.
The English press sneered then at
this warning and relied on the protec-
ton of the British feet to safeguard
Atlantic traffic
A news dispatch from Berlin says:
The emperor drove to the ministry
of marine for a conference with Adj
miral Won Tirpitz The greatest en-
thusiasm was displayed in Berlin over
the sinking of the Lusitania, demon

U.39 Said to Have Sunk Liner.
A dispatch from Munich Bavaria,
says that the German submarine U-39
sank the Lusitania.
There was great rejoicing in south
ern Germany. according to the advices
Towns were befagged, especially
along the Rhine and the children had
half holiday in honor of the event
The rejoicings are said to have
spread even to Vienna and Budapest
1t is said that the general feeling in
Germany and Austria is that the Amer
,cans on board the steamer had been
warned previously of their danger and
therefore they undertook the voyage
at their own risk.
! Indignation In Italy.
A dispatch from Rome says:
THE sinking of the Lusitania has
caused profound impression in Italy
The feeling in Rome is one of indig
nation at the killing of neutrals
Measures to end such proceedings are
being urged on all Sides"
" arred of Presence of Submarines
The presence of German submarines
of the southern coast of Ireland and
along the line of travel the Lusitania
would follow in going to Liverpool
was made known in a dispatch from
/ Glasgow, which recited that the Brit
/. sh steamer Cherbury has been torpe
doed in the Atlantic ocean, off the
Irish coast. This was on April 20
| Two other vessels were sent to the
bottom more recently the Centurion
and the Candidate. Just where these
ships were attacked has not beer
made known. but their destinations
lead to the belief that one OF more
| German submarines have been operat
I! ing in the lines of transatlantic travel
II may be that they were waiting FOL
the Lusitania, and in the meanwhile
s'tscked such other vessels as came
within their range.

the requirements and giving the most
reliable information as to methods
of growing large crops at lowest cost,
and will have the opportunity also OF
receiving the large cash prizes offer
ed for record yields in the various
classes.
Late in February a campaign. typi
cal OF those conducted in other coun
ties. was carried through In BeSaI
County. There the Chamber Of Com
merce. the county demonstration
agent, the county superintendent OF
schools, the city superintendent OF
schools. the head of the mothers

the largest representative religious
gatherings on earth. In addition to
the vast numbers OF Baptists from all
parts OF the Southern States and In
fact from all over the United States,
there will be present at this sonyen-
ton representatives Of this mighty
denomination from almost every quar-
ter of the globe-from among the peo'
pies Of many tongues and Nations.
Some OF the visitors to this great
gathering will breathe for the first
time the balmy atmosphere OF free
America. while many OF the messep'
gers from throughout the Southland
will behold for the first time the
glorles OF our grand old empire state
with her vast riches and marvellous
resources.
The Baptists throughout all Texas
together with their friends, should
now avail themselves OF this oppor'
tunlty OF attending the convention.
as this Is the first time for so many
years that II has met in this State
and perhaps II will be the last time
that Il will do so for several years to
come. Some OF us will never have
this opportunity again during the rest
of our lives. This should induce num-
beers to attend from every city. town.
village and countryside in the State.
Every pastor within the State should
not only come himself, but should
see TO Il that several OF his flock shall
be present to behold the workings and
TO participate in the spirit. the fell
lowshlp and the uplifting power and
the influence OF this great body OF
kingdom builders.
The Baptlsts OF the city OF Houston.
together with the business men and
entire citizenship. are extending and
will extend a most cordial and hearty
welcome TO every member Of this
mighty host.
