BAPTIST FUND
GROWING DAILY
EVEN SMALL TOWNS SUBSCRIBE
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
IN CAMPAIGN.

With $4,000 announced as subscrib-
ed by the Baptists of Dublin, Ga,
with $500 from a small church at
WoOdville, and with contributions
averaging $500 each from five small
country churches in various sections
of the state. total of $4,000 was
raised last week On the statewide
campaign among Baptists for a fund
OF 100000 to pay off the debts OF
the three principal Baptists institu
tions of the state, which are Mercer
university at Macon, Bessie Tiff col
lege at Forsyth and the Georgia Bap
fist hospital in Atlanta.
G. J. Hood, general chairman of
the campaign, declares that many of
the amounts given by small churches
are much larger in proportion to
means and membership than the sub
scriptions of large city churches, al
though these are doing splendidly in
the campaign. The total of $32,500
thus far reported does not by any
means represent the total subscribed
to date, as scores of churches are in
the midst of campaigns.

GERMAN LOSSES
ESTIMATED 100000
Battle of Arras Proving Ter
ribly Costly to Kaiser;
1870 Guns Captured.

PARIS. April 27.-Thc extent Of
the German losses in the recent des-
perate fighting along the Aosne Is
partially disclosed in the reference In
today's official statement OF the cap
ture of 1870 guns, OF which n consd-
cradle number were of heavy caliber,
The German losses in men are estl-
mated at more than 100000 with the
probability that the total reached
235. 600. These figures include killed,
wounded and prisoners and consti-
tute one of the most formidable to-
tails of the present war
The number of German prisoners
aggregates approximately twenty
thousand. The usual formula among
military experts is to estimate the
casualties at five times the number ot
prisoners, but this to ratio has not
held good in the present case owing
10 the exceedingly sanguinary charac-
ter of the fighting.
