LOYALTY TO WILSON
 OVERCOMES BAPTISTS
Resolution Deprecating Restrictions of Church Work in Army Camps
 Passed In Modified Form.

Hot Srngs. May 1S-Advocates of a modified resolution deprecating al- legged restrictions imposed upon work being done ein army camps by the Southern Baptist church, won over those desiring more vigorous pro- test at today's session of the 63rd convention of the church here.
 The modified resolution was adopt ed after opponents had been appeal ed to regarding military necessity and with the plea that the church must do nothing which might tend to em- barrass the government" in the prose- cution of the war.
 The resolution asserts that the con- viction of the church is "that all Christian bodies ought to be treated with perfect equity"
 The resolution declares that ''the issues at stake are in essence relig- ious. If our armies and the armies of our allies are decisively defeated moral distinction. at which the rulers of Germany sheer, will disappear and the whole world will fall into moral chaos. We must support our justly constituted authorities with our pres they take for the prosecution of the war. There must be no limit to the ardor and completeness of our devO- tion."
 Another resolution was adopted en- dOrsing the work of the American Red Cross and urging members to re- spond ,liberally to the second cam paisn for Red Cross funds. The con-

"JOy Riding'' In AirplaneS
 Is Stopped
Girls Ragged Cadets and Flyers For Chance to
 Go Up.

Dallas. Texas, May 1S.- Airplanc "joy riding" among the clouds has been stopped at the American and British aviation camps here and at Fort Worth. This is partly due to the fact that the aviators had too many friends who wanted to take a trip aloft," and partly because Of an incl dent which occurred the other day at Fort Worth.
 A cadet flyer from the American camp at Love 'Field here who paid a visit to member of the Royal Flying Corps at Fort Worth was invited by the Canadian to take a flight with him. The American cadet accepted. When he returned to his own camp. the cadet told his comrades that the flight had been a venturesome one. embodying all the nose dives, dips, loops and turns which the British flyers have made ordinary occur rences. The American had enjoyed the trip thoroly, he declared. and had no thought of fear until after they had alighted safely Then the Eew Cana dian friend. with a sigh of relief, ad- and that most of the spectacular per

The Evening Telegram, some time
back came in for considerable good
natured badinage from its contempor
aries, because it referred to flock
of sheep as an unusual sight in Flor
ida, and expressed the opinion that
there sholld be more attention paid
to this branch of live stock. There
semed to be an impression that sheep.
raising is well established industry
in Florida; but official figures which
are Just now available show that
there are only 10000 sheep in the
entire State of Florida, and that there
has been an increase of but 1000 In
the number of these animals during
the period covered by the past foul
years. The Evening Telegram stands
pat on it's original contention that g;
flock of sheep is rather an unusua
sight in Florida" and that there ar,
possibilities in this industry tina
seem to be escaping the attention o
the people in the State best adapte
to this most ancient, honorable, pleas
ant and profitable industry.

Will Do His Daredevil Stuns At 7:3O
O'Clock From Top of the
kibler Hotel

Harry Rich will be here tonight at
7:30 o'clock and will thrill and de.
light a large crowd by his hair-rais-
ing stunts from the top of the Kibler
Hotel. Harry performs most of his
feats on the trapeze, which have
been watched with awe and wonder
by huge crowds wherever he has ap-
peared
It is expected that large crawd
will gather around the Kibler Hotel
building tonight and watch Harry
Rich. 1t is we'll worth seeing and
something the like of which has new
er been seen here before. To give
an idea as to what Harry is going to
do the following paragraph taken
from an Alexandria Ua) paepr:
Harry Rich repeated several of his
hair-raising stunts of the night be,
fore, and then took common wood
en- chair and placed it on the swing
ing trapeze bar and sat on it, swing
ing to and fro, in and out, again and
again, suspended in midair hundred
feet above the asphalt street. Then
he took his hands away from the
side ropes and waved them out in
the air, while many cries and eXcla
. nations of fear were heard to go ur
. from the vasr crowd and many hit
!, their faces for fear that the wors
e might happen"
t Rich will also perform tomorrow

Replying to an article published in
the Denver, Col, Post, Commissioner
w. A. McRae gives some interesting
facts pertaining to Florida tempera-
ture this season and in past years.
Mr.. McRaes letter to the Denver
Post follows:
February Z, 1918,
Editor Post, Denver, Colo.
Dear Sir:-A recent issue OF your
paper contained communication
signed by Frances Wayne, stating
that Florida had experienced this
winter the coolest weather in fifty
years, and that the temperature at
Jacksonville had gone down 8 below
zero. The statement that the wealth
err was cold is true, and the same is
true of the whole country, but that
it went degrees below zero is not
true. To say that it never went be-
low zero in Florida would not be
! true-every rule has its exception
for on February, 10, 1899, it did go
in the extreme north part of the
State to 2 below, and blanket OF
snow extended we'll down into the
peninsula, and orange trees were
killed. But we can say that there are
parts of Florida where it never goes
even to the frost point, for the low
est ever known at Key West was a.
degrees above zero.
The 1899 cold wave in this Stat
was the most severe ever known t
the weather bureau. There was
well authenticated cold wave in 1885,
but in the thirty three years exist
ence of the weather bureau the Stat
has had six waves with freezin
Il weather, and these occurred in JaI
uAry, 1886; December, 1894; Febr,
airy, 1895; February, 1899, and the
/. eighteen years to February, 1917, az
J! January, 1918. These waves of sho
duration came when there was e
IRENE cold in the north, for examp
on the days when the temperate
went to 20 below zero at Denvt
which the weather bureau shows
1" the lowest ever known in your eli
while 1O5 degrees above is the reco
for summer heat in your city mo
heat than is recorded except rare
- in Florida-and of course these G
