THE END CAME.

Tho motion to adjourn was carried
and the body passed out into tho
rain, thus ending remarkable ses-
sion. The total vote was three. The

while the National Baptist Convention

Commission appointed by President
E. G. Morris had plenipotentiary
powers, while the side represented by
the others had no power whatever.

MUCH MONEY READY.

Then followed scenes that will long
be remembered. One Of the white
delegates praised the colored people
and he declared the Southern Bap-
list Convention wanted to help them.
Fifty thousand dollars were already
available for the work Of establishing
a colored theological institution UNI
der the control of the National
Baptist Convention and one hundred
thousand more could be raised for
the purpose. He pleaded with them
to get together.
Rev. DR.. A. r. Griggs advocated
the acceptance Of tho word "prere-
quisite" in order to get together, but
the action Of the other side insisting
that no steps could or would be
taken to harmonic until these con-
ditions had been Internationally

WHITE PRESIDENT RETIRES IN
DISGUST.

Even after tho dinner hour the
discussion was continued. Finally,
plea was made that the distinguished
President Of the Southern Baptist
Convention should be treated with
moro respect and consideration. He
presided with his proverbial good
humor however, but late in the night
ho left the chair. Rev. Allen Fort,
the white pastor, was induced to take
the chair and he continued as tho
presiding officer.
On the proposition, the various
delegations divided up and took I'M
der consideration tho basis OF reunion
as offered by the representatives of
the Southern Baptist Convention
(white.) The National Baptist Con-
vention, Rev. E. G.. Morris, d. D.,
President, adopted the basis and
came in. The National Baptist Con-
vcntion, Rev. E. p. Jones, d. d.,
President, reported that their side
had rejected this as a basis Of peace
and reunion.

TAKE PRISONERS IN AlRPLANE
British Flyers Round UP Slxty-Five
Huns and Herd Them Into
Camp.

With the British Army in France
Airplanes can be used for capturing
infantry. 1t was proved by the Brit
ish In the recent advance.
Flying fairly low, seeking parties
of Germans or war material to bomb,
two officers in one machine were fired
upon from sunken road. The pilot
Owed and the airplane machine quick
ly accounted for four Germans. Very
quickly the Germans hoisted a white
flag In token of surrender.
The airmen were in dilemma, as
there was no British infantry in the
vicinity. They descended to 80 feet,
however, and ordered the Germans out
of the road-65 of them In all. They
obeyed. Then rounding up the party
the airmen directed them toward the
British lines. They eircled over them
with the ever-menacing bombs and
machine guns until they encountered a
party of British, who took the entire
lot to a prisoners cage.

ALL WILL GET JOBS
To Be No Slump in the Demand
for Labor.
Devastated Europe viii Look to
United States to Help
Rebuild.

New York.-Jobs. for all will be had
for the asking in the period of the
worlds reconstruction. There's to be
no slump in the demand for labor.
1t has been estimated that no fewer
than 100000 men have been killed
in Europe. ThesUnited States, which
has not lost $1,000 men, must make
good this huge labor loss.
Devastated Europe will look to the
United States for help to rebuild. We
must finance this big job and supply
the materials and tools,
According to NJ. Tardieu, French
high commissioner, it win take two
years to get the French coal mines in
working order and ten years to put
them in prewar condition. To recon-
struct private homes alone will re-
quire the work of 100000 men for 20
years.
Prof. Van den Ven of Louvain, now
in the United States, says the war
losses of Belgium total approximately
S4,000000,000. Before the drive more
than 5000 buildings had been de-
stroyed. Practically all the important
factories have been robbed of their
machinery, and, in many cases, not
only the walls RACED but the very foun-
dations destroyed
The machinery was shipped to Ger
many. Towns and villages have been
wrecked. Farms have been robbed of
all live stock. Miles of interurban
railroads have been torn up and
shipped to Germany.
The problem is first to keep alive
the population released by Germany !;
second, to reconstruct the industrial
machine so the people can make a
living
England also will want food, manu-
featured goods, raw material and ma.
chinery in great quantities. SO will
Italy and the Scandinavian countries.
George E. Roberts of the National
City bank maintains that the United
States will pass out of the war period
with more wealth than she possessed
before the conflict began. There has
been much scientific development of
industry, and agriculture has been
stimulated as never before.
There is no obstacle, he thinks,
to a continuance of business activity
except the difficulty of readjusting
business to a peace basis. This obsta-
Gle is great but surmountable.
