GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY.
Special to The Manning Times.

Special to The Manning Times.
We notice with supreme interest
that Governor Richard I. Manning has
designated Sunday, September 2, 1917,
as day of prayer for our boys that
will soon be, and are now encamped
preparing to go to France to fight
for the honor and dignity of our
country. l have informed my people
that we will carry out the request
of the governor; in that we will meet
next Sunday and offer special prayer
for American victory.
1 do hereby appeal to the white
people of Manning to assist me in
having all the colored people to go to
church Sunday as per request.
You can best help by having those
that work for you to prepare one
meal on Sunday and then retire and
go to church. Governor Manning
sounded the key note when he made
the request that all churches should
meet and offer prayer on next Sunday
for victory.
We all should obey this request.
The orr that fails to do so should
be looked upon as being much of a
Stacker" as the one that tried to not
register. 1t will not be the number
of submarines, aircrafts and battle
ships, nor large armies alone that
will win this war but it will be won
through the instrumentality of prayer
This war was forced upon us. The
President did all he could to keep us
out of it, almost to the dishonor of
the nation. But we are now in it
in spite of all that he did.
We must enter it prayfully. Who
knows but what this war will come
to successful close without our boys

folly by risking life and honor for
the cause of Freedom. Here are
shown scenes like the Sicilian Yes
pers, where an entire population rises
to exterminate foreign usurpcrs.
Conspicuous in the dreadful yet glo-
rious day are the Daughters of Jael,
an oath-bound band Of women pa
triots.
The story as whole brings in
many extraordinary types of the poly
glot nationalities of which America
is composed. Besides the big army
of super-numeraries, very large
cast of principals was employed,
some of the more important being

ASK RECEIVERSHIP FOR
SHORT LINE RAILROAD

Greenville, Aug. 28.-Stockholders
and two creditors Of the Greenville
and Western Railway, which operates
between Greenville and River Falls,
distance of twenty three miles, to-
day filed a petition with the Western
District United States Court for the
appointment of receiver and the
sale of the property at public auction.
1t is the third time this road has ask
ed for receiver since it's organization
in 1888, the other two claims having
been granted. The petition says:
"The road as a financial proposition
is hopeless, as it is unable to pay it's
current bills for lack of funds"

MORE WAR DECLARATIONS

Washington, Aug. 28.-The possibil-
lty that Austria, and perhaps other
allies of Germany, may soon declare
war against the United States be-
cause of the financial aid given to
Italy is recognized by administration
officials.
1t was carefully explained today
that there is nothing in the existing
situation, either diplomatic or mill
tary, that would cause the United
States to take the initiative, but that
an anomalous state of affairs may re-
suit in broadening the war docs exist

'"THE FALL OF A NATION"
This Great Show Will Be at The
Pastime OH Friday, Sept. 18th.

Thomas Dixon, author of "The
Birth of Nation" just released to
the entire United States his sequel to
the former work which he calls "The
Fall of a Nation" On the music
side he has had the collaboration of
Victor Herbert. Mr.. Herbert is the
first Of the prominent composers to
write a complete original score for a
picture spectacle. The musical ac-
compartment will be performed by a
large orchestra.
In writing and staging "Thc Fall
of a Nation" Thomas Dixon has
kept particularly in view the world
struggle between Democracy arA I'm
perialism as it affects the United
States. After prologue excmplify-
ing the foreign immigrants debt of
gratitude to the Union, the play
proper opens with the scenes of po-
litical conflict preceding the great
conspiracy against the life Of the Re-
public. John Vassar's National De-
fense Bill is defeated in Congress.
Virginia Holland, though admiring
his pluck, spurns his principles and
encourages Charles Waldron, the pro-
fessed friend of Peace.
Practically without warning the
storm breaks over New York when
10000 aliens Of European military
training rise at Waldron's signal, cap
ture the National Guard armories
overnight, and train the big guns on
New York's unarmcd ctizenry. A
wild exodus cnsues to Long Island
where an American army is hastily
raised. But while this is taking place
the powerful fleet of the Confedera-
tion of Northern Europe has met and
defeated the Atlantic squadron. The
conveyed Imperial army, 10000
strong, effects landing and in a
thrce-day battle routs the Americans
utterly.
Waldron puts on regal uniform and
is haled viceory of the "Provinces of
North America" The wcll-populated
part of the country is captured by the
foreign legions. Vassar is fugitive
in the West. Waldron sends forth
Virginia on the mission of enrolling
her American sisters in the "Woman's
Imperial Legion Of Honor"
The final scenes of the play show
Virginia as Of the stuff of Joan Of
Are. Processing to fulfill the vice
foy's mission, she organizes a giganic
counter-plot to free the enslaved
Union. Allied with John Vassar,
General Hood and the other American
leaders, she atones for her former

PLAN FOR REFORMS
Gains MOMENTUM
Frank Discussion and Unblushing
Criticism Brought Out in
Main Committee.
PARTIES STATE DEMANDS
No Half Way Measures Will Prove
Satisfactory, Says German
Liberal Press.

Berlin, Sunday, Aug. 26.-(Via Lon
don, Aug. 2O.-If frank discussion
and unblushing criticism are capable
of bringing on parliamentary reforms
it may be said that Saturdays pro-
ceedings in the Reichstag main COM
mittee has given increased momentum
to the movement To this must be
added the volume of plain spoken edi-
torial comment by the Liberal news
papers which states frankly that it
will not be satisfied with half meas
ures or makeshifts.
The discussion of national politics
was continued by the committee yes
terday. Chancellor Michaelis twice
took the floor to explain his newly
created council, made up Of seven
Reichstag deputies and seven members
of the Bundcsrat, over which he is
to preside. The new council will hold
its first meetings today to discuss the
governments reply to the papal peace
note. The social demands, Centrists,
Liberals and Progressives have agreed
to cooperate with the government on
this issue. The various factions, how
ever, have informed the chancellor
they have accepted the newly organ
lied body as a provIs1onary device
and consider it the harbinger Of more
substantial and permanent measures
which will secure to the Reichstag
constitutional prerogatives and great
err responsibilities.
, Among other demands, the coalition
will urge notification of paragraph
8 of the imperial constitution which
prohibits Reichstag deputies from be-
coming members of the federal coun-
Gil. Elimination of this restriction
would facilitate appointment Of men,
bers Of Parliament to secretaryships
which carry with them membership in
the Bundesrat.
Michaelis an Auditor.
Detailed reports Of yesterdays ses-
sion of the main committee, at which
the various factions apparently strove
to outdo each other in the candor
of their criticism, indicate that the
chancellor was an attentive auditor
and showed no inclination to oppose
some Of the more emphatic demands.
In a statement supplementing his
speech in the forenoon he said he
would consent to consider the seven
Reichstag deputies in the new council
rs representatives Of their political
factions. The session afforded the
party representatives ample oppor-
tunity to bring up their grievances.
Among them was the statement Of
Matthias Erzberger, leader Of the Cen
trists, that his party has not received
proper recognition in the distribution
of government honors.

at large is quite willing to await a
more auspicious time for rearrange-
ment of it's political household furni-
ture. An attempt to draw the man
in the street into discussion of the
new orientation is likely to be met
with an expression of his satisfaction
over the arrival of new potatoes and
the fact that bread rations has been
increased.

BRITISH STEAMSHIP SUNK
Fate of Crew of the Nadia Un-
known.

Boston, Aug. 28.-The sinking of
the British steamer Nadia, which left
an American port on August Is, was
reported in a cablegram received here
today by the Cunard line. No details
were given as to the fate of the crew.
The Nadia, under charter to the
Cunard line, had made only one voy-
age to this country, and was vessel
of 1884 gross tons.

The session gave the impression

The session gave the impression
that advocates Of parliamentary re-
forms are inclined to support the
chancellor in his opinion that reorgan-
ization cannot be undertaken hastily.
1t is plain at this date, however, that
the coalition which has been augment
ed immeasurably by the adhesion of
the National Liberals now constitutes
an invincible Reichstag majority with
which the chancellor must reckon
which will enter the new session next
month with q definitely outlined pro-
gram.
Not Considersi Permanent.
That the majority parties are not
inclined to give the newly created
council permanent Importance is indi-
Gated by press comment. The follow
ing Deputies have been elected by
parties to membership in the. council
Socialist Democrats, Philip Schei-
demann and Friedrich Ebert; Cen
trists, Matthias Erzberger and Herr
Fehrendbach; Progressive, Friedrich
Won Payer; National Liberal, DR.. Gus
tav Stresemann; Conservative, Count
Won Westarp.
While a slip of the tongue by the
chancellor and a bungled report of
Wednesdays session were directly re-
sponsible for the tension of the past
week, the existence of much combus-
tible material of political and par
liamcntary nature is likely to call
forth other flare-ups, on account Of
the present mood and temper of the
Reichstag majority. Wednesdays
ruction is symptomatic of the major
ity's growing appetite for increased
authority and responsibility and fur
ther conflicts in the attempt to ap-
pease that appetite arc hardly avoid
able.
1t has now become known that
Chancellor Michaelis made his second
statement Of Wednesday, definitely
fixing his attitude toward the Reich
stag's peace resolution before the in

tion regarding the establishment Of
full concordance by it and the state

Mischief Done.
Notwithstanding the chanccllor's
revision statement, which made this
protest supcrfluous, the declaration
was read. The mischief was thus
done and, the outside world received
the impression that another crisis had
come. For this the mismanagemcnt
of the censorship over reports Of the
committees deliberations must be
blamed.
Over this boiling cauldron there
presides a new chancellor who made
his record as capable official and
organizer in government departments.
He is admittedly tyro in the hand
ling of practical politics.
Opposing the Reichstag majority is
the numerically small but powerful
conservative and Pan-German faction,
which just now is standing idly by
while liberalism is threatening to re-
shape political and parliamentary in
stitutions.
These reactionary forces for the
most part represent the nations
finance, big business and landed in
terests.
If the chancellor today feels that
the wind temporarily is being temper
ed to the shorn lamb, it is due to his
conviction that German eyes are riv-
eted on the various fronts and the
resistance being offered there by the
German troops and that the nation
