the drive.
Military critics are confident now
that the Italians will be able to mako
a strong stand at their new line and
that the supreme danger Is over. Dis
patches received at the embassy quote
General Carsi, the military critic OF
the Rome Tribune. as saying that the
withdrawal to the Tagliamento river
was one of the most difficult achieve
ments of the war, Notwithstanding

them. The French troops all stopped
at the statue of Garibaldi and pre-

Giving further proof OF the soli-

the dispatches said that more than
500. 900 persons in Rome made a pill

Emmanuel in the Pantheon and there
placed flowers in honor OF the fallen

lVAueEuSIIC WORK
GOES FORWARD TO-DAY
WITH NEW ENERGY
Street Meetings Postponed to Latter
Part OF This Week by Baptist
Ministers

II WAS deemed inadvisabls by the
Baptist evangelistic campaigners that
the street services should be held last
night, and this innovation was post
poned until the closing days of the
drive at the latter part OF this week.
Friday night will mark the opening
of hese services. and they are conf
IDENTITY expected TO bring many addi-
tons to the churches.
The ministers engaged in this cam
paign state that they have never seen
more diffidence toward things spiritual
and the value OF a human soul than
has been exhibited by the people OF
Richmond during the arst week OF
the campaign. AT n meeting at noon
vest erda, neIc a. the First Baptist
church the ministers acknowledged
that they had seemingly impossible
task before them. but expressed their
determination to enter into one OF the
greatest drives that has ever been at
tempted in the city and never quit the
fight until victory WIS won.
Several mass meetings OF interest
will be held today. DIR. H. w. Virgin
will speak at the Venable-Street Bap-
ttst church this afternoon to women
only. The meeting is called for 3
O'Clock and special musical pro-
gram has been arranged The speak
er's subject is announced as "A Small
Craft. Precious Cargo, and a Safe
Voyage" ~
Mass meetings for mon will be held
erford Memorial churches. both on the
mortal. DIR. Stewart, of Washington,
will speak; while at Woodland
Heights Rev, Mr., Arendail will ad-
dress the audience on the theme, "A
Man Worth While"
In all of the churches today special
evangelistic services viii be held in
the Sunday schools and continue at. the
Ii o'clock hour. All OF the twenty
eight Baptist churches OF the city. rep
resenting a membership OF something
like 10000, are interested in this cam
paign. There are fourteen visiting min
listers and about an equal number OF
visiting singers.
Not an overwhelming number OF ad-
ditions have been reported thus far,
but In most instances the efforts of the
campaign have been directed along
other lines that that of securing ac-
cessions. A large part of the time
during the last week has been devoted
to laying foundations for today,s work
and that OF the coming week.
These have something like leo addi-
lions to the churches thus far. 1t Is
predicted that the results of today's
work with more than double the Access
slons during the entire past week.
All of the ministers win meet to-
in~the parlor of the First Rap
fist church at IL o'clock for conference

paign. DIR. II. w Virgin. of Roanoke.

half hour from. IL TO 1890 o'clock will

In the history OF municipal campaigns
has such interest been displayed in
an lection as that which has attend
ed the present campaign for the

indicted. Bennett, won the nomina-
ton after a recount The mayors
friends persuaded him to run on a
Fusion ticket.
Hylan Attacked As Unpatriotic.
Judge Hylan has been attacked by
his opponents because Of his alleged
unpatriotic attitude. He has made a
fiat denial OF the charges and defled
his adyersaries to point opt where he
has not been loyal American to the
backbone.
