PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR
MAY GO TO ALABAMA
THE REV. r. l.. CAMPBELL ASKS
FOR PASTORAL SEVERANCE
WITH PRESBYTERY.

The Rev. R. l.. Campbell, for sew
eral years pastor of the Bay Street
Presbyterian Church, of this city, is
planning to sever his relations with
the local church and go to Dothan,
Ala, to assume cnarge of the Dothan
Presbyterian church, of that city.
Mr. Campbell, at the morning SER
vice yesterday, asked his congrega-
ton to request the Presbytery to dis.
solve the pastoral relations between
the church and the Presbytery, with
this in view.
The Presbytery will meet within the
next two months, when the request
will be voted upon. 1t is believed by
Mr.. Campbell that favorable action
will be taken, and that he will be able
to go to the Alabama church immedi
ately.
81 will be able to do great work a
Dothan," he said today. "While tht
| church is not as large as the one il
| Kansas City that invited me to be
come their pastor, yet l believe tha
my services in the Alabama town viii
be much greater. For that reason
prefer the latter place."

London, May 31.-The Russian re-

vance in Galicia apparently is stiffen-

Russians in Central Galicia on the
River San, it was announced in Petro-
grad that the right bank of the river
had been cleared for a considerable
distance of the Austro-German forces
which had crossed the river.
So far as is known, however, the
Austro-German investment of Przemsyl
has not been checked.

To Reply Promptly.

From a previous knowledge of Pres
ident Wilson's position, it is generally
predicted that a prompt answer would
be sent to Berlin perhaps within
twenty-four hours to forty eight hours.
This is expected to give the American
government understanding of the
facts-that the Lusitania was unarm-
ed and carried no concealed guns,
that she sailed from the United States
a peaceful merchantmen, and that un-
der all rules of international law and
humanity, the vessel should have been
visited and searched and her passen-
gers transferred to a place of safety,
whether she carried ammunition or
not. American law does not prohibit
ammunition from being carried on
| passenger ships it will be asserted,
but only self-exploding material and
| liners in the past have been permitted
| to carry arms and ammunition by spe-
cial ruling of the state department on
the meaning of the federal statutes.
| Germanys failure even to discuss
] the reparation demanded by the Amer
ican note, and evasion of the request
that guarantees be given that Ameri-
can vessels and lives be not endanger
ed in the future are the main points.
however, to which the United States
government it was believed today,
would avert in the second note. The
expression of regret and offers of re-
paration for unintentional attacks on
neutral ships are expected to have lit
tie weight in determining the nature
. of the response of the United States.

While the city will be forced to dig

ter supply, the 450-foot well which has
been giving the officials so much trou-
BILE during the last few weeks will not
have to be entirely abandoned.
This was uecIued today, after final
test was given the shaft and stream,
over which workmen have been strug-
Cling for several days, clearing it OF
mud and gravel, and inserting new
casing.
A 3O0-foot six-inch pipe has been
placed in the well with deep brass
covered strainer over one end. To
day when the first test was made, a
good amount of water came forth, al
though not in sufficient quantities to
take the place of the supply obtained
before it went dry three weeks ago.
Shouldn't Be Abandoned.
Burke Jones, superintendent of the
water system, said this afternoon that
the we'll should not be abandoned.
although we never will be able to
get as much water from it now as we
did before it caved in some days ago,
he said, "the amount obtained now
makes it worth while to continue to
operate it. 1t did not cost so very
much money to make the test, to in
sert the new casing, and to partly
clean it out.
'It will be necessary, sooner OF
later, however, to bore another wen

Richmond, Va, May 31.-This city
is receiving today as its guests the
remnants of the Confederate Legion,
who will open tomorrow the reunion
