Petersburg
Baptists To Open Campaign.


Petersburg, Va, April 1.-THE Bap-
tist denomination of Petersburg and
vicinity is arranging in detail the
plans for the united evangelistic
campaign soon to be commenced
The initial meeting in connection
with the campaign was conducted
at the Second Baptist church last
night by Professor Louis Entz-
minger. of the Southwestern summary,
at Fort Worth. Texas
Professor Entzminger has led
three hundred campaigns for revivals
and for Sunday school enlargement.
He knows just how to enlist workers
and how to organize and direct the
work for successful campaigns.
Professor Entzminger will speak
every night this week at union SER
vices for all the Baptists of the city.
These meetings will be held in the
central churches; tonight and tomor-
row night at the First church and
later in the week at the Second
church.
A religious census of all the white
people of the city will be taken
Tuesday afternoon, under the direc-
following objects in view:
l. To find the Baptsts of the city
who are not members of any of the
city churches.
,. To find out the people of the
city who are not members of any
church and what their church pref
erence is.
8. TO avoid all appearance OF
trying to proselyte people of other
denominations
Successful Revival closes.
Rev Il. V. Carson, OF the Memorial
Methodist church, has just closed one
of the most successful revivals in the
history of the MEMORIAL congregation.
The meeting was one which brought
the church together and will probably
prove OF greater benefit than any
series of services ever held in the
church. Seventy-one additions to the
church resulted and several persons
will unite with other churches as the
result of the meetings. Mr.. Carson
came to the Memorial church last
November. Since then he has accom-
plished great deal and his people
are highly pleased with him as a
pastor and as a soul winner.

OPEN
PEACE CAMPAIGN
TOPREVENT WAR
Bryan Sends Message Endors-
ing Movement Begun to Block
American Rights
BY associated Press

New York, March 10-The emerG-
ency peace federation began an vr-
ganized campaign to-day to keep the
United States out of war with Ger-
many. Prominent pacihsts have been
summoned here to direct the move
ment. More than $4,000 has been raised
already to meet the costs.
The money was subscribed last night
at mass meeting. Mrs. ]. Sergeant
Cram headed the list of pledges with
$1,000. Resolutions were adopted de-
claring that the country could not al
low itself to be drawn into the war
nor enter upon relations of "veiled hos
tlllty likely to lead to war" The reso-
lutions advocated the appointment OF
Joine commission" to endeavor to set
tie the questions at issue between this
country and Germany and urged Presi-
dent Wilson to summon all the great
powers to discuss plans for peace.
A message from William j. Bryan,
read at the meeting, stated Mr.. Bryan's
opinion that IAN overwhelming ma
jor1ty" of the American people favor
keeping Americans off belligerent
ships, and would exclude arms and
ammunition from all American and
neutral ships carrying passengers be-
tween the United States and Europe.
Mr.. Bryan said he did not believe the
government should arm vessels carry
ing munitions.

DANIELS CALLS
NEWSPAPERS TO
SUPPRESS NEWS
Patriotic Appeal Is Measure
to Prevent Information on
Ships Getting to Teutons
Bv Associated Pyess

Washington, March 10. = Following
is the statement last night by Secretary
OF the Navy Daniels to newspaper
men:
You have read the statement is
sued from the White House and now
you know that the President has the
power to arm American merchant
ships making trips on the seas on law
tul errands, and is free to exercise 1t
at once. l do not think you ought to
ask with what guns they will be armed
or how they will be manned or ex-
actly when the power will be eXer-
clsed. The government should be
trusted fully to carry out the policy
announced in the best way.
Il do not think you ought to ask
when the ships will be armed or print
when they will sail. To-day l re-
quested every cable company in AM
erica not to send out any news about
ships sailing to or from Europe. The
wireless stations are under the direc-
ton of the Navy Department and no
news of sailings will go out by radio.
Voluntary Censorship
L am going to request you and
every newspaper and every news agen-
cy in the United States not to print
any news about the arrival of ships
or when any of them will sail for Eu-
ropean ports. There is no power of
censorship in our country. The Presi-
dent does not have any authority over
the press. In this time of national
emergency, l feel sure that every
newspaper will accede to the request
not to even give a hint or speculation
of the sailing of American ships. Such
publication might result in the loss of
life. AS the reasons are so obvious for
making this request there is conf
dence in administration circles that
this request will be complied with by
every paper in the country.
"All patriotic Americans are ready
to make sacrifice for their country in
times of emergency. The press can
render the highest patriotic service. by
refraining from printing at this time
what ordinarily they would freely
print.
Might Jeopardize Life
"Inasmuch as it will be impossible
to reach every paper and news agency
directly, l will ask all papers to carry
this request which is made as an ap-
peal to patriotism to all journalists
and disseminators of news. The best
news the readers can have is that the
government will protect the rights
of America to the freedom of the seas.
The publication of details can serve no
good purpose and might jeopardize
human life. All readers will surely
applaud the papers in responding to
this appeal"

ated with high honors from the Los

Appam Had Secret Plant
to Get Wirelsss News

Norfolk, Va, March 10. - When
United States Marshal Saunders took
possession of the liner Appam after
the break with Germany, he found
Installed there a secret wireless ap-
paratus by which all wireless messages
sent in this section of the country were
read.
A fine wire was found strung be-
meath the pipe leading to the whistle
on the smoke stack of the Appam ana
extending above it as do the regular
antennae of wireless. The wire led to
the interior of the vessel where dyna-
mos were kept running to make the
current for lighting the ship.
Investigation, it is said, led to the
discovery that the wire finally ran to
the room Occupied by Lieutenant Hans
Berg, where the messages were re-
corded by flash from an electric bulb.
