thorities found that Whay had elud-
ed them, following his indictment,

able time and that there was much
correspondence before the bond was

per so that they can not be read
through the envelope" Much of the
mail was sent on trains instead of
In postofffces and the books them
selves, when ordered, were sent By
express. Correspondents were also
in the first letter to ere
the business address, as it
will not appear in future letters"
according to- the Federal authorities.

FOREIGN MISSIONS AGAIN.
DIR. William H. Smith i'm a Hole.

BROTHER SMITH of our Richmond
Board has certainly been of great as
slstance to me recently by his lame efforts to
defend the modern Carey System of Foreign
Missions. He has aided immensely in at
tracing public attention to those methods of
church work which are hugely expensive, and
which have no foundation in the Bible, in
common sense, or in patriotism.
In his latest explosion, Brother Smith
glories in the supposed exposure of false
statements alleged to be mine, in reference to
a son of our late Z. S. Senator, A. S. Clay.
The truth is-and our files will show it
that no such statements were ever made by
me
Nobody hnocs this better thom DR.. Smith,
because he quotes in his article the Marietta
letter acrltten to ne from there, containing
those statements
His article shows that he made three ap-
plicatons to Hon. Herbert Clay for a con-
tradiction of the statements contained in the
letter, and that Mr. C10y refused to make 1t.
Consequently, DR. Smith himself shows
that Herbert Clay--son of our late Senator
declined to repudiate the letter which his
friend had written to me, and which / in
good faith published
Here is the letter:
Marietta Ca, July IL, 1915.
"My Dear Sir: On yesterday had the pleasure
OF attending annual memorial service, where
Col. Herbert Clay, of the late Senator A. S.
Clay, was the speaker Of the day. He dWelt at
length on the Frank case, and more particularly
SatOn's actions in the matter. Mr.. Watson,
what | started out to say was this In the course,
of his remarks he stated that his brother, Lieu
tenant Frank Clay, who is in the United States
Navy, fell sick in Japan, that he went to a big
American Missionary Hospital, costing 81 100000
and asked to be taken Of and treated They
fD1l
per week they would arrange to take care of him.
This he dd as long his money lasted but when
his money gave out, they turned him out; but,
said he the very sad part of it was, they
at the same lime caring for and treating Japanese
free OF charge who worth millions of dol
lars When Mr. Clay finished speaking told him
that l was going to inform T. E. w. of the facts
that he stated and that he need not be surprised
If you asked him to give you full statement Of
the facts and he said that he would do it with
the very greatest pleasure
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-01-20
That also is trivial detail, having nothing
IN 1o with tho merits Of the case


The question is, did the Georgia soldiers
sick, and thousands of miles from help enter
a Baptist missionary hospital in Japan; was
he charged an exorbitant price; and was he
put out when his money was gone!
It was not I who said what the hospital
cost. nor was it I who said that Lieutenant
Clay was inhunlanly treated.
1t was the brother of the sick soldier,
whose statements to that effect were reported
statements made on very mournful occa-
sion, and made to his home people.
Those statements, he has m0ver ret40cted:
and he believed them, else he would not have
made them so positively and publicly.
[ had Just as much right to believe what
Lieutenant Clay told his brother, as I had to
believe and to publish the statements made by
Miss Emma Lester, or Rev. T. f. McCrea OF
Miss Fleming, or Mrs. Estes.
The Tennessee papers published the state
ments of Congressman r. w. Austin and Mrs.
j. G.. Estes, in exactly the same way that
published the statement Of Hon. Herbert
Clay
Congressman Austin said he saw mis-
sionary hospital in Japan, as fine as the
Lincoln Memorial Hospital Of Knoxville, one
of the most magnificent buildings in the
South.
How many missionary hospitals, costing
$4,000, have the Baptist Boards built in our
own country? How many in Georgia? In
Alabama? In South Carolina? In Arkansas.
Mississippi and Florida?
It's a poor defense of this unnatural
system of Carey missions to say, that the
hospitals built by Southern Baptists for the
Japs and the Chinks cost less than possible
Typographical error made it appear.
1t isn't the exact amount squandered on
these foreign hospitals and colleges and
native workers." the point IS, that such
aoorh as not Christian evangelism, at all!
1t robs our poor and our suffering and our
illiterates of the attention, the loving care and
the money that should be spent for the men,
tai, moral and spiritual upllft here at home.
(3) DR.. Smith proves by his witness DR..
Teusler that the charges at the hospital are
somewhat less than $25 week
Did DR.. Smith ask Lieutenant Czay unY
questions?
Apparently the Doctor located the officer:
did he also try and fail to obtain a denial
from him.?
Hon. Herbert Clay was not the main wit
ness: he was repeating statements made to
him by his brother. Why did DR.. Smith
make such persistent efforts with Herbert,
and none with Frank?
The head of great hospital may not know
everything which happens in it; and if DIR.
TeusIer had known, personally about the case
of Lieutenant Clay, he would have mentioned
that case in his denial, for that was the case
he was being examined about by his worried
Bro. Smith.
Instead of saying plainly that Lieutenant
Clay was not put out for the lack of more
money, DR.. Smith and his interested witness
say:
1t is certain that no officer of the Army or Navy
in proper standing would be turned out of any
hospital for lack of money, for the simple reason
that the American Government paws the hOsnita3

THE JEFFERSON1AN

You will notice that the date IT the letten
is last July, and that the writer was giving
his recollection of speech made at Mem
orial Service, presumably to a large audience,
on the day before.
Dr. Smith waits six months and, without
having been able to obtain from the Memorial
orator, or any of his audience, denial that
the Hon. Herbert Czay q0a8 correctly quoted,
sails into print with the following TRADE
against me:
Another Foreign Mission SIander Exposed
(By William H. Smith)
The Jeffersonian, paper published in Georgia,
has for a long time been waging bitter warfare
against foreign missions. Its method of attack is
that Of Misrepresentation, eXaggeratiOn and the
distortion Of all facts pertaining to foreign mission
work. Surely every right-thinking man must con-
denim to the utmost such method of fighting
foreign missions whether he believes in the cause
or not.
DR.. Smith accuses me of misrepresentation,
exaggeration, and the distortion of all facts
pertaining to foreign mission work"
That's a serious charge, and it should be
as easy to prove as to assert.
What | have said is in print, book form,
magazine form, and news paper form.
Having made his accusation, DR.. Smith
owes it to Southern Baptlsts to sustain it by
evidence.
His TRADE proceeds thus:
The following is a fine example of the method
that is used. Last summer The Jeffersonian pub
lished an article headed, "The Son of the Late
Senator Clay Put Out of the Missionary Hospital.
The editor gave this incendary Endorsement to
the letter:
Are you in too much of hurry to read this
or would you rather go and build another thou
sand schools, hospitals orphans homes house
for tho mis-.
sionaries?
What asked ''you," to read was the letter,
already reproduced
The writer of the letter was not only known
to me as a trustworthy citizen, but he said
that he had secured Mr.. Clay's consent to the
communication he meant to make to me.
The Jeffersonian has large circulation in
Marietta and Cobb County; and Mr. Clay,
as well as his hearers at the Memorial Service,
must have seen the letter few days after it
came out.
Yet nobody wrote me that the letter mis-
represented the speech; and in the several let
tiers which Mr.. Clay himself has written me
since, he made no reference to the report of
his address to me-a report made by his con-
sent
Then, when Dr. Smith makes three efforts,
two by letter and one by telegram, to obtain
a conflict between Mr.. Clay and The Jeffer-
sonian, do you think it was fair and right for
him to treat me as the sole author of the
statements?
The letter sh0aOed him the source of IN
formation; and | did not even know that he
had been nagging at Herbert Clay, trying to
get up trouble between us, as to a local report
of Mr.. Clay's own speech.
Then when DR.. Smith utterly fails to set
Herbert and myself by the ears he denounces
me, as though [ had been repudiated both by

WILSON VEToES LAND BILL
President Disapproves Measure Per-
hitting Towns to Acquire Portion
of National Forests.

Washington. Aug. 23.-President
Wilson vetoed bill which would au-
thorize incorporated cities and towns
to acquire portions of national forests
for certain community uses. The bill
was aimed to amend an act of 1890
which permits cities and towns to ac-
auire unreserved public lands.
National forest lands cannot be re-
garded as suitable for disposition for
general purposes in the same way
that unreserved public lands are" the
president stated. in his veto message
But the most serious objection to the
bill is that it subjects the national for
est to disposition under a general
grant," he continued.

Trocps-Greeks Fight Against
Teutons.

London, Aug. 23.-The allies have
captured a series of heights west Of
the Vardar river, on the Saloniki front,
says a Paris war Office statement to-
night. On both wings advance detach-
ments have fallen back before the
counter-offensive of the Bulgariaus.
Battles in the new war arena on

Greeks Clash With 5uIgars.
London, Aug. 23.-Greek troops have
been fighting the Bulgarians in the
vicinity of Sores since Sunday morn
ing, says an Athens dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph company.
The Greek commander at Sores has
called to arms all the reservists in that
locality, says the dispatch. That the
fighting is of a stubborn character is
indicated by the fact that large num-
Der of Greek soldiers have been killed.
A dispatch to the Evening News
from Athens says the resistance of the
Greek troops at Sores has created
great excitement at Athens. The news
papers there are referring to the. he
roic divisions of Seres."
1t is understood at Athens, the dis
patch continues, that Greek army
headquarters ordered the Sores divi-
sion to retire. Orders have been given
that all further hostilities must be
avoided.
The fighting on the Saloniki front
is becoming more general, says a
Havas dispatch mailed Monday at Sa-
loniki. In the Dorian section Serbian
troops have captured Forts Kaimaka-
dar and Cucurlu.
The heaviest fighting is on the front
northeast of Saloniki on the left bank
of the Struma river, from Kavjala to
Barakli. On the western end of the
line hostilities are confined for the
most part of artillery
