GERMAN OFFICERS SUFFERING
PANGS OF EXTREME HUNGER

GENEVA, Switzerland, May IA
Swiss officers on leave who have just
returned here after nine months SER
vice on the Swiss-Alsace frontier say
that even the German officers in Alsace
and Lorraine are suffering from hun
ger and when they arrive at the Swiss
outpost villages are now glad to OBJ
tain good meal, paying any price.
Until few months ago the German
officers, unlike the men on the frontier
who are always hungry, pretended
they had plenty of food but their pale
faces belied the statement. Now they
admit that decent food is lacking and
their Swiss officer comrades, though
neutral are doing their best for the
Germans, despite Swiss military regu
alton which prohibit any intercourse.
If this is the case with officers, the
condition of the German soldier may
be imagined on the frontier where the
kindly Swiss are sharing their rations.
One German deserter said:
MY whole company would desert
and enter Switzerland, but we are told
by our officers that we would be re-
turned to Germany and then shot"

BAPTISTS PLAN To
CONSOLIDATE TWO
BIG DEPARTMENTS

/ NEW ORLEANS, La, May l4.-Prop-
ositions for consolidation of the mis-,
sionary and Sunday school boards and
for the establishment Of missionary
training school here will come before
the Southern Baptist convention here
May 16 to %. The Woman's Mission
airy union of the church also will held
sessions here May III and 18. About
5000 laymen and ministers of the
church from every state in the South
are expected to attend.
The question of consolidating the
home and foreign mission boards ana
the Sunday school board, so as to avoid
duplication of work and in the inter
ests of closer cooperation in those
fields, has been one of the important
subjects before the Southern Baptist
conventions for several years. At the
convention in Asheville last year
special committee was appointed to re-
port a plan for consolidating the work
of these boards and this committee will
present the plan devised to the con-
vention here.
Among the new projects proposed is
the establishment in New Orleans of a
Southern Baptist training school for
home and foreign missionaries. There
also will be presented a plan to raise
$4,000 year for % years to conduct
great Baptist evangelistic and mis-
sionary campaign in New Orleans.
Those fostering the plan will sug-
gest that New Orleans be used as a
field of practical work where the stu
dents in the training school may get
experience. Part of the funds, it is
manned, will be used to buy land and
houses for the missionary workers, to
nav salaries and assist the workers
in the training school. But the scheme
also includes an aggressive campaign
to increase the membership of the
church in this city and to establish
more churches, missions and Sunday
schools.
Enlargement of the missionary and
publication work of the church and
plans for continuing the work begun
last year of raising one million dollars
for a building and loan fund to assist
churches in the South, also will be dis
cussed
The first days sessions will be de-
voted to presentation of reports of
the various boards, departments and
committees and consideration of these
reports. The convention sermon will
be delivered the evening of May Is by
Rev. C. w Duke, of Tampa, Fla.
The second day will be given over to
foreign missions and discussion of the
scheme for establishing training
school and starting a campaign for
the church in this city. A foreign mis-
sionary mass meeting has been ar
ranged for the night of May H. Home
missions will occupy May IS.
On Sunday the visiting Baptist min
listers will occupy pulpits of various
denominations and in the afternoon
there will be two mass meetings to be
addressed by Rev. Len G. Broughton,
CT Knoxville, and Rev. DR.. George W.
Truett, of Dallas. Monday and Tues
day will be devoted to finishing up the
business affairs of the convention.
