FOREIGN MISSION RALLY.

The Foreign Mission Rally Sunday
afternoon will be long remembered
and not soon forgotten. Among the
speakers were two native Africans
DR.. Daniel S. Malckebu and Miss
Jennie SumtumZie. These two speak
crs were hailed with delight and
their addresses made deep impress
sions. The collection at this service
amounted to more than $1,000 The
collections and donations for Foreign
Missions during the session of the
Convention amounted to little more
than $2,100.
While we rejoice at this, still We
must not forget that our Lott Carey
brethren in session at Rocky Mount.

Thousand Dollars In cold cash for
the work In Africa. The Lott Carey
Convention covers the States OF North

BATTLE SUMMARY

Along both battle fronts in France
the cannon continue to roar, but
the rumble Of the artillery gives nc
sign OF where and when the next
battle or battles will be fought
From north of Ypres to south OF
Nerdun the big guns are active, the
Germans especially so, in the re-
glon south Of Albert, south OF the
Somme and around Noyon.
Taking advantage of the lull in
German offensive movements, Field
Marshal Haig is improving his posi-
ton on the Flanders field by sue
cessful local attacks. In the vicin-
lty Of Robecq, at the apex of the
salient, he has again advanced his
lines slightly, capturing prisoners
and machine guns. Success also at
tended local attack by the British
near Meteren, west of Bailleul and
the nearest point to Hazebrouck the
Germans have reached.
The Germans have given no in
dication, apparently, of where they
will strike again. The allied com
manders are reported ready for the
onslaught wherever it may come. 1t
is not likely it will come on the
Flanders or Picardy battlehelds, as
the Germans must improve their
positions on both fronts, for the re-
main where they are would be to
invite a counter offensive which
might prove disastrous.
In making their apparently sue
cesstul attack on the German sub
marine nests at Zeebrugge and Os-
tend, the British feet, assisted by
the French, has given the German
fleet commanders something to pom
der over. British sailors and ma
rines who have returned from the
gallant enterprise report that the
gate to the lock of Bruges canal has
been blown up, and that the water
was let out into the North sea. The
channel also was blocked by sink
ing concrete-laden cruisers and the
batteries and munition stores on the
mole were destroyed.

COMPANY
MERGER IS NEAR
PLAN IS TO FUSE AND ACT
AS GOVERNMENT
AGENT.

Washington, April 24.-Railroad
administration officials and express
company representatives today CON
fcrred on terms Of a tentative con-
tract under which the companies
would be merged, with capital OF
54OOO,OOO, to act as a government
agent in the express business, but
without direct government control.
The railroads would take a little
more than 50 per cent of express
receipts, or the same proportion, as
under present conditions. Railroad
officials estimate that the remainder
would be sufficient to allow the unit
ed companies to pay 5 " to 8 per
cent on the new capital stock.
A name suggested for the new
concern is the Federal Express
Company.
The contract has not yet been
presented to Director General Nc
Adoo for approval.

by something akin to a miracle
could those who remained aboard to
explode the charges have survived.
Stories of survivors who have ar
rived at Dover flushed with belief
in the full success of the undertak-
ing are not corroborated in every
detail of the official account. The
reported destruction of the canal
locks and the consequent draining
of the Bruges canal lack confirma-
tion. If substantiated, this presum-
ably would be the greatest achieve
ment of the raiding squadron.
Estimates of the time the Ger
mans will need to remove the OBJ
structions from the channel and re-
pair the damaged mole vary. Some
assume that many days will inter
vene, others many weeks, while still
others seem to suppose that the
damage cannot be repaired for many
months

British Sea Raiders
OfZeebruge EuJogized

London, April 24.-Articles by
naval writer's and editorials in the
morning newspapers culogize with
natural pride the volunteers who
carried out the raid against Zee
brugge and Ostend, and discuss the
probable importance of the enter
prise. Lieutenant Hobson's feat al
Santiago and Admiral Togo's ex-
plot at Port Arthur are realized as
notable precedents, but the landing
on tn beach at Gallipoli is regarded
by some writers as the only real
parallel.
Curiosity is expressed as to the
fate of the crews of the two old sub
marines which were assigned to
blow up the piling at the approach
to the Mole at Zeebrugge. Their
devition to duty appeals to the imag-
ination of the writer's, for it is as
sumed they voluntarily accepted al
most certain death, and that only
