STATE ASSOCIATION OF MUSIC CLUBS T0
 !. BE FORMED IN APRIL
Meetings to Be Held Here. Mrs. Hanson Issues Appeal to State-TO Plan Enter
 tainment of Convention

To arouse interest in music over the state of Alabama in view of the com ing biennial convention of the National Federation of Music clubs to be held in Birmingham in April, 1917, Mrs. Victor H. Hanson, president for Alabama, has issued an appeal to the music clubs of the state urging them to attend the meeting to be held here next April, at which a state organization of music clubs will be formed.
 Music lovers are anxious that every city in Alabama be represented in the meet
 ing in April at which officers of the state organization will be elected. They feel that it is but proper that the whole state should have hand in the enter tainment of the convention.
 PROCLAMATION IS ISSUED
 Mrs. Hansons appeal, addressed "To All Music Clubs in the State of Ala hama." is as follows:
 This is an appeal to you to become charter members of 8 state organization of music clubs.
 Come let us work togetheri Join us and send delegates to Birmingham next April to elect state officers, plan the work of the new organization and enjoy cur annual spring festival.
 The meeting to be held here in April will make plans for the greatest music festival ever held in a southern city, which will be conducted in Birmingham in April 1917, when the National Fed eration of Music clubs holds it's tenth | biennial convention here.
 The advantages of state organiza- ton of music clubs are obvious. We can work together effectively for the very highest development of music in Ala bama; raise our own standards by genuine cooperation and receive the real benefits of the interchange of ideas and artists, both local and otherwise.
 "A hearty welcome must be given by Alabama to the scores and scores of noted musicians from all over the Uni ted States who will come here for the biennial convention in 1917. The state must live up to it's reputation for hos pitality. The only way this can be done effectively and efficiently is through a state organization of the music clubs in Alabama. Together we can do honor to cur state by our reception of our dis tnguished guests; apart, we can do little. By having our music clubs federated with the national body, we will be in sym pathy with the work being done by the music clubs of the whole country and VIII pc iCetoy to icStiNo eiic iOhi pclSlit to to be derived from their first visit to the south.
 Birmingham will entertain the bi- ennial, but Birmingham wants every Alabama city to be represented here
 and to have a voice In this great con vention.
 "The Music Study club the Treble Clef club and the West End club of
 Birmingham, and the Polymnia club of Mobile are already members of the na- tional organization as well as of the state organization.

SAWED-OFF GUN is
USED BY CRIMINAL

Johnston City, ILL.,, June 10.-Ed-
ward Chapman, a wealthy retired
farmer, was assassinated, and his
daughter, Mrs. ]. l.. Schulz, % years
old, was seriously wounded in their
home near here a few minutes after
last midnight. Chapman was shot
twice through the head and his daugh-
ter was shot in the shoulder.
Five shots, apparently from short
barreled shot gun, were fired into the
house through the window. The auth
critics are working on the theory that
the shots were intended for Benjamin
Schulz, son-in-law of Chapman, and
manager of mine near here, who re-
Gently dismissed several employees.
Schulz recently was warned that he
would be assassinated.

JANE adams GETS
NO ENCOURAGEMENT

Rome, June 10.-Jane Adams of
Chicago, chairman of the special COM
mittee appointed by the Women's
Peace conference at The Hague to
visit the capitals of Europe in an ef-
fort to hasten the end of hostilities,
has left Rome for Madrid, whence
she will go to France and Belgium,
While here Miss Adams was received
courteously by Pope Benedict, Car.
dinal Gasparri, papal secretary of
state; Premier Salandra and Foreign
Minister Sonnino.
Although the ministers of the Ital-
ian government listeneds respectfully
to her peace propaganda, they gave
her little encouragement. She was
received with greater sympathy, how
ever. at the vatican where the pope
has labored to bring about peace, but
even there no secret was made OF the
fact that the present moment was con-
sidered scarcely opportune for such
movement as Miss Adams has under
taken.
She was told by Pope Benedict that
he admires greatly the firmness and
serenity of President Wilson. His
holiness expressed the hope that the
initiative for peace would come from
America and he pledged himself to
support such proposal with all the
influence of the Holy See.

Gated BY st. John, after he had ripened
in the service of Jesus. Il have writ
ten unto you, young men, because We
are strong, and the word of God
abideth in you, and We have overcome
the evil one So runs the familiar
passage from the second chapter OF
Johns first general letter. First, young
men are strong. They can. Power is
theirs. To do and to endure is their
gift. They are equal to the summons.
Second, they are Bible students. The
appeal that the exhiliarating word OF
God makes to chivalrous youth is even
greater than its appeal to comfort
seeking age. Idealistic, altruistic, in.
spring, the word finds a congenial
home in the breast of youth. Third,
young men have not yet acquired the
habit of surrender to evil They are
more valorous than prudential, and
they are not afraid to offer battle to
the evil one. And they can overcome:
that is the testimony Of the church
throughout all the ages. What an
equipment then, has youth for service
= strength, inspiration and courage.
Small wonder; that Gods Son came as
young man to redeem the world, and
that He chose for His friends and
successors group of men whose chief
qualification was their youth.
