The ammunition supply of the reb-

used unsparingly. Some bullets which
entered the hotel where the CORE

German manufacture. Other weapons
used by the rebels were twelve-bore
shotguns and cartridges filled with
ugly leaden sluEs.
The battle was thickest today around
an entire block of business houses in
the Sackville street quarter. These
buildings had been occupied by the
rebels at the start and breaches had

and his nineteen-year- old brother. who
had been held at the immigration sta

The board learned that the immigrant
was a graduate of the Imperial Rus

grad and that by special decree of
the emperor the disa bility that as q
Jew would have barred him from the

One Of the greatest calls of the mis-
sionary movement of modern times
must be answered during the next
year; 1t is the call of the Latin lands.
said w. E. Doughty at the session to-
day of the National Missionary Con-
gress. Meetings all over the country
will be held during the next year. at
which missionary work in the coun-
tries to the south will be discussed, he
said.
1t is to be the greatest movement of
modern times. he declared. All eyes
now are turned there. He begged the
men of the convention to go out and
organize groups for the discussion of
the missions and needs of these people
The report of the committee on the
decennial report was presented by
E. l.. Shuey, and was unanimously
adopted. 1t urged the spreading OF
the laymen's movement among the

In the discussion which followed its

To Reconstruct Conditions,

After the war there will be de-
mand for reconstruction of economic
and social conditions to remove those
that brought about the war, Harry p
Ward of Boston, who fills the chair of
social service in the School of Theology
of Boston University said. Then the
great question to be decided is whether
the reconstruction is to be done upon
the basis of Christian principles.
He emphasized the teaching OF Christ
regarding the stewardship of property,
power and ability. for the benefit of
mankind. and urged that the church
stand for those principles of brother
hood that would lead all to stand to-
gether for the development of property
for the benefit of human life.
The present program of evangelism,
education and missions is totally in
adequate, said DIR. Hubert c. Herring,
general secretary of the National Coun-
Gil Of the Congregational Churches.
There ought to be expert ecclesiastical
physicians who will go about and tell
churches when they are dead.
America Must Lead"
America, he said. is Christianity's last
stand This country must lead the
world for its highest things. If the
world is to have a new leader at ALL" he
said. We must lead in democracy, in
diplomacy, in education. But we cannot
do it without pure and potent church.
one that is really able to mold the ma
tons life
Now is the time to win the confidence
and esteem of the thousands of foreign
students now studying in American col
leges, said Charles d. Hurrey. general
secretary of the committee on friendly
relations of foreign students. He made
an earnest plea for churchmen to give
hearty welcome to foreign students,
warning them that the returned student
is a powerful man in politics, education
industry. commerce and religion in his
own country.
Shall the men of the churches he
said. ALLOW these leaders of the ma
lions to become suspicious. hardened or
embittered through neglect. inconsist-
ency or highly sinful practices of our
Christian citizens? On the contrary,
shall not our sympathy. love and
that all graduates Of our colleges re-
turning to their native LAND shall be-
come ardent champions of the program
of our Lord? 1t is good business, good
morals, good politics and good religion
to win now the confidence. esteem and
abiding gratitude of these guests-the
future rulers of the changing nation"

LILLY REPLIES TO
JUDGE ROBINSON
Who Accused Him of Making His Cam
pagn While on the State
PAYROLL

MT. HOPE, w. Va. April 12-Be-
fore a crowd of 1900 people Attorney
General Abe Lilly in a speech here
Monday night charged that the state
department of mines was being prosti-
tuted for political purposes and that
district inspectors, in violation of the
laws of the state enacted to protect
the life and limb OF the miner. were
carrying campaign literature, inflam-
mable in character, into the mines in
pursuing their activities in opposition
to his candidacy.
General Lilly, with the enthusiastic
approval of his large audience, also
entered into a discussion of the
charges made by Judge Robinson in
the latter's speech at Clay where he
recited that the attorney general was
drawing salary from the state while
he was conducting his campaign for
the gubernatorial nomination.
Although the Grafton candidate
specifically named the attorney gen.
eral as the person who was conduct.
ing his campaign while on the states
payroll, General Lilly suggested here
that it might also be construed as an
attack on Auditor Darst, Treasurer
Long, Secretary Reed and other state
oiiaceholders who were making per.
sonal campaigns while remaining in
office in accordance with the custom
that is usually followed by the Presi.
dent of the United States, senators
