New York. May 15.-Plans had been made in 1914 for revolution of Germans in the United States in case this country should be drawn into the European war, according to testimony today at the state attorney general investigation of reports of hidden munitions.
 Ivan Norodny, vice president of the Russian American Asiatic corporation who admitted that he had sympa a thized with Russian revolutionists be- fore the emperor was overthrown. at tributed the revelation of plans for cn uprising in the United States to Baron von Gersdorff. a friend of tho German crown prince, and a former agent in Mexico, who was interned after the United States entered pe war.
 At q dinner at a New oYrk hotel ir the fall of 1914 Norodny said he met Captain Hans Tauscher and an other German whom he knew as Lagen, or Muck. and who was the manager of Mme. Gadski. wife of Captain Tauscher. Norodny quoted von Gersdorff as saying: "The Shuet- enyerein German Rifle clubs) have arms in this country and in case of trouble with the United States they will side with Germany. The rifles have come from Germany and in case of war here the Germans will assist the I. W. W. and the socialists"
 Both von Gersdorff and Tauschar told Norodny. the latter testified. that the autoeracy of Russia ought to be oyerthrown and von Gersdorff of- fered Co supply NorodDy with arms free so that revolutionists in Russia could seize the government and make a separate peace with Germany. Nor odny testified that he rejected this plan from patriotic motives.
 Previous to this conversation he said he had been trying to buy rifles from Tauscher for the Russian army. but after being shown a quantity of arms in New Jersey storehouse gave up the idea, but he was dealing with  an enemy of his country and the arms if purchased might be sunk by the Germans on the way to Russia.
 The Germans. he said. did not seem anxious to continue negotiations un- less for the purpose of fomentlng revolution. The efforts of Deputy At- torney General Becker to learn the names of owners of one million Mauser rifles and one billion cart ridges which various brokers had tes- tified were offered for sale in New York by Gustav Lussing, a German born American citizen, proved futile when Bussing took the stand. He de- nied the testimony of various wit nesses that he had represented him. self as the agent of the owners.

Women Of the Southern Bapts churches were granted full and equal rights with men in the convention ot| the vhurches, by an oyerwhelmina vote at the Sixty third session of the Southern Baptist convention. By the action taken. which consisted of an amendment 10 the convention consti tution, women now are entitled not only t0 represent their churches in the conventions, but also fo hold any office in the convention. which is tha highest administration ueani2ation in the denomination
 The vote was taken after three hours Of rather strenuous debate Tho huep tabernacle In which the convention Is being held was crowd ed to its capacity. and a large DOT ton Of the audience was composed or women. who are here to attend the Womans Missionary Union of the churches. They were permitted Co attend the convention today as wis hnrs All of the dclesafce, as weu as the visitors. displayed lively ia ttrest in the debate and i, wJs| plainly evident from the shouted comments from every corner of the tabernacle. that the motion to amend the constitution would prevail long before the question was pm tinall, to the deleeatas
 After the vote wgs announced. division or roll call was demanded b. some of tho opponents to th' amendment. but because of the evi- dent numerical domination of the con vtntion by western delegates, who, as 3 whole, were staunch advocates of women suffrage. the opposition with drew it's demand for division and the constitution was declared officially to have been amended SO that women now may participate In any and all matters Of church government Then the delegates, and women visitors rose to sing Blessed Be the Tie That Binds"
 The opposition to the amendment was led by Dr w n Nowin Lou isville, Ky. and Dr A. s petti2. Whitesville Ky The principal points vontion would in a short time come under complete dominant ion of the women. since thc men would not wrangle on the floor of the conven- tion, and that a strict Interpretation Of the Bible. especially that portion O.

 Advocates of the measure wore led by Dr F. c. Mcconnell of Atlanta, R II. Coleman of Dallas Dr. Me Connell made a vigorous plea to the women, on what he called a basis Of Common Christian justice"
 He characterized opposition to the amendment as "unChristian." because il was "Christianitv that has fiber a'ed woman from slavery and there fore does il behoove our lordly brethren to deny to them what Chris' has given?' Dr Mcconnell alsg painted a dramatic word picture o what women are doing in the worlt war, which he called the "greates blessing Of God 10 humanity since ralvary He declared that women ha, showed their great love for humanit' and riah by their willingness ant even desire, to sacrifice their live, for the life of liberty"

tion after the civil war! Contrast those hardships endured and conquer ed with the conditions which will prevail in France after Peace comes! Her reconstruction will be more like Resurrection, and will be impossible unless the present generation of chli- dle en is saved to become strong, nor nal men and women.
 The Fatherless Children of France are the first line of defense in the coming battle for national life after peace is declared. They are not only the more unfortunate little ones whose contact with the invading hordes has blasted body and soul, children whose fathers were doctors, lawyers, tradesmen, farmers and who still have remnant of home-life.
 Our aim is to provide for these fatherless children small allowance, sufficient to maintain them in their homes with their mothers-to be reared in the religion of their fathers, with the education of their country, thus guaranteeing to France real citizens for tomorrow.
 We beg you to save one of these children and make possible the Resurrection of France!

From Monday throughout the re-
 na;nder of the institute, Brother Compere, assistant secretary of the State Mission Board, will be with us, and will speak each night. Many of our people will recall the strong ad- dress of Brother Compere during our State Mission campaign in November
 It is planned to make this Bible institute an annual event at the Bap- list church, studying various phases of church life and activity. The stress this year is laid principally on Sunday school work, and it is sin cerely hoped that we will take advan- tage of the opportunity to better equip ourselves in that line of work.

fatherless children of France was sent me by Mir. Moorehead Wright of Little Rock, treasurer, and with it a letter from Mrs. E. G. Thompson, al- so of Little Rock, chairman of this district, in which she asked me to take charge of the fund that might be raised in Jackson county and Newport. Many of our citizens are already contributors, but it is very possible that they may wish to take more orphans, and l am sure there are a very great many more who have not yet taken any, but will be glad to do so. France is our battle ground. It's women and children have, in these past weeks, fighting alone, offered up thousands of good men and true, who were husbands and fathers. With the help of it's allies, France is stemming the tide of the Huns, but it is paying the price of blood. Any of our citizens who may wish to join this great hu- mane movement of adopting a French orphan" or if unable to take a years care, may combine with a friend, or even send 10 cents for one day. I shall be happy to send your contribution to MT. Wright who will send it on to France. Not one penny of the money collected is used for any other purpose but is sent direct You may have the name and address of the child you adopt if you wish, and you may pay quarterly, if mroe convenient. Every church, Sunday school. fraternal order, club or so cial or religious organization of the county, might consider this as di- rect appeal. Money may be left with either bank, with instruction, or sent to
