a selection from the choir of the Law
renee Baptist church. Invocation by
Rev. N. B. Robinson; Mr.. Walter Tow.
ers delivered the welcome address in
ner and Prof. j. B. King responded in
behalf of the visitors. A feature of
the occasion was the splendid musical
program rendered. Owing to the ill
ness of Prof, Healing, Prof. j. A. Hodge
delivered the principle addresses. He
made many opportune remarks and
urged higher education. Several able
speakers discussed the subject. AT

the Forum to be the guests at a lun-
cheon. The Forum con%gratulates
Lawrence for their hospitality. Mrs.

marks which were timely and closed
with a motion to make the exchange

In loving memory of our two chill
dreA who departed this life n year
ago, April 13 and Is, respectively.
June II year and five days ago
Since we received the heartrending
blow,
Deaths messenger came, his sad story
to tell
The Master has need of thee dear
Villa Belle.
Oh how we have missed thee, thou
dear little flower,
Still we gladly submit to the Master
OF power;
For all that He doeth, He doeth it we'll
He will love thee and keep thee dear
Villa Belle.
The messenger came, to be merciful
he tried;
He then went away but was not salts
fled.
And we know u dear Savior must
have suffered great pain,
When God, the Father, said, Send
him again.
This time we could see him, hope
could not decoy,
We knew he had come to call Darl-
ing Leroy.
We umbly submitted to give him his
choice
He called to Leroy, come with her
rejoice,
Rejoice with thy sister and all of the
blest;
Await thou in Heaven to welcome
the rest.
Sadly missed by
ISAAC SMITH,
Father,
MRS. EVADENE SMITH,
Mother,
MASTER THORNTON SMITH,

THAW'S ACCOMPLICE
CAUGHT IN QUAKER CITY

Philadelphia, Jan. 9.-Charged with
aiding and abetting Harry X. Thaw in
an alleged assault upon Fred Gump,
Jr,, in New York, and with attempted
kidnapping, a man said to be George T..
OByrnes, and described as Thaws
bodyguard, was arrested at railroad
station here today as he was about to
leave the city. He was held pending
requisition from the New York au-
thorities.
While admitting, according to tho
detectives. that he is acquainted with
Thaw and that he had been with the
Pittsburgher in this city until last
night, the prisoner denied that he is
O'Byrnes or that he is the man wanted
in New York. He declared that he
had absolutely no knowledge of the
charges upon which he was taken into
custody and said that he had been
with Thaw only as a friend. He said
his name was oliver Brewer, that he
was Pittsburgh salesman, and that
he had known Thaw for some time.
Barney Flood, the New York detec-
tive who assisted in making the ar
rest however, stated tonight that the
description he had of O'Byrnes fits the
prisoner in all details. and that he Is
convinced he is the man wanted. In
support of this belief, Flood said that
the police had found in the prisoners
pocket telegram dated December 23
from the authorities of Long Beach,
CAL, replying to a message aiiegeua..
have been sent by Thaw seeking in
formation as to the whereabouts of
the Gump boy,
Both his attorney and private de-
tective, who said he had been engaged
to act as a private bodyguard for the
Pittsburgher while he was here. said
thats Thaw had left the city last night
for Washington and that he intended
to leave the capital tonight for Pitts
burgh. Efforts to locate him here so
far have proved futile.

ULTIMATUM TO GREECE
BY ENTENTE ALLIES
Russians Retake Island North
of IIloukSt, but Fall Back
Along Sereth and KisSina
Rivers,

The invasion of Rumania by the
troops of the central powers continues
to progress despite the efforts of the
Russians and, Rumanans to hold them
back. Berlin reports that the invad-
ers moving eastward into Moldavia
from the Transylvanian Alps are gain
ing ground, step by step, while the
force of Field Marshal Won Macken-
sen, driving northward in Moldavia,
has won additional ground, reaching
the Putna river sector. In this fight
ing. the Teutonic allies, according to
Berlin, have taken 5,499 prisoners and
captured three guns and ten machine
guns.
Petrograd admits that the Russians
along the line of the Putna and Sereth
rivers have fallen back, but says the
maneuver was carried out without
hindrance. A slight retreat on the
Kissina river by the Russians also is
recorded by Petrograd, but it is as
serted that south of the Oituz river
and near Rekoza, on the Suchitza riv-
or, attacks by the troops of the CEN
trail powers were repulsed
Vigorous Fighting Near Riga.
There is still vigorous fighting go
ing on in northern Russia in the re-
gion of Riga. Berlin reports the re-
pulse of Russian attacks on both sides
of the river AP and between Fried
richstadt, and the Mitau-Olai roads.
The Russians, however, have recap
tured an island in the Dvna river
north of Illoukst, which was taken
from them recently Petrograd re-
ports also the repulse of German at
tacks south of Lake Babit, west of
Riga.
In the other theaters, according to
the various official communications,
bonn bardments and minor engage
ments by raiding and patrol parties
continue to prevail.
Greece Gets Ultimatum.
e Greece has been given forty eight
hours by the entente allies in which
to- comply with their demands for
the withdrawal of all Creek troops in
Thessaly, reduction in the number of
Greek forces elsewhere, the release
of political prisoners and an apology
by Greece to the allied nations and
to their flags.
