vention.
 "Our White Friends" was the theme of an address delivered by Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist college, and secre- tary of the Home Mission board of the National Baptist convention which looks after the home mission work throughout the country. He said that the white people had always been friendly to the negro, but during the past few years had shown a tangible interest by aiding them in their mis- sion work to the extent of $15,O0O per annum. He referred to the South ern Baptist convention as one, of the greatest religious organizations in the world, and in that the negro shared in the good work. Dr. Gray, secretary of the Home Mission board of the South. ern Baptist convention had many good things said about him by Sec retary Booker. But the speaker said that he would reserve many of those things until his report was made.
 Dr. Booker referred to the work of the National Baptist convention, and spoke of the great session held in Muskogee last September. He paid his respect to what he saw fit to term "a few pigmies," who were dis. loyal to the Baptist cause and were putting forth an effort to even split the Baptist in this state.

COUNT Won HAESELER

Field Marshal Gen. Gottieb, Count
Won Haeseler, who was made the
principal adviser of the German
Crown Prince at the outbreak of the
war. and served in that capacity dur
ing the futile attack on Verdun, was
born 81 years ago to-day. He had been
in retirement for many years when
hostilities were declared, but he vol
unteered for active service when the
Emperor drew the sword, and was ap-
pointed to the staff of the Crown
Prince. The Count had his first taste
of war during the Danish campaign
more than half century ago. When
Prussia and Austria fought in 1855
he. was a member of the staff of
Prince Frederick Karl of Prussia, and
he served under the same prince in
the Franco Prussian war Early in
the present war Count Won {Iaeseler
became an idol Of the German troops,

Another birthday of a soldier which
falls to-day is that Of Crown Prince
Boris of Bulgaria, who is %. For
several years the heir to the Bulgar-
ian throne has spent most Of his time
as an officer in the field. He took part
in the two Balkan wars which pre-
coded the present great struggle. In
the first Balkan war he entered Ad-
rianople by the side of his father,
Car Ferdinand. and since then he
has been actively in command Of Bull
garian armies. He was born in Bull
garia, and in his second year was
baptized in the national church,
which is allied with that of Russia.
Since the war, it is reported, he has
turned Roman Catholic. AS boy he
spent much of his time in Austria,
where he came under the influence OF
the Hapsburg. About two years ago
it was reported that Boris was to wed
a Roumaflian princess, but when Bull
garia joined the Central Empires this
scheme was dropped, and the Arch
duchess Marie Alice, daughter Of the
Archduke Frederick of Austria, was
chosen as his prospective spouse.

After the dissolution Of the An1eri
Mexican joint commission, with
out success in adjusting American and
Mexican relations, Secretary Lane
said the American commissioners did
not think that, in recommending the
sending of an American ambassador
to Mexico, they were placing them
selves on record as advising the de
jure recognition of the present Mex
lean government. They be1reved that
the adjournment of the commission
left no adequate diplomatic channel
for communication between the United
States and the Carranza government
and that this need could best be filled
by a diplomatic representative. Henry
P. Fletcher was recalled from the post
Of ambassador to Chile year ago to
fill the place in Mexico City, and it is
expected that he will be ordered to
