BOLSHEVIST DELEGATE
TO BERLIN CONTINUES
TO DEFY ROYALTY

Geneva, May ls.-Adolph Joffe,
the bolshevik ambassador to Ger
many, continues to DEFY the Ger
man emperor and government, ac-
cording to a Berlin dispatch re-
ceived here. In spite OF every warn
ing the red flag of Russia is still
flying over the embassy and diplo-
matte etiquette is still ignored by
refusal to pay the usual visits OF
ceremony.
The newspapers are irritated over
the fact that the ambassador con-
fines his attention to the minority
socialist deputies and revolutionists.
Several demand his expulsion as a
dangerous and undesirable resident.
NJ. Iotfe is said to be more amused
than affected by the German news

London. April l0.-(Correspond-
eece OF The Associated Press).-
An account of the smallest and one
of the most successful British naval
expeditions sent out during the pres
ent war-that which cleared the
Germans from the district of the
Lake Tanganyika in Africa-has
lust been published by the Colonial
Institute here.
The expedition included only 2S
men, and it went through the CAM
paign without 4 single casualty. Its
two boats were transported 5000
miles by sea and then $500 miles
by land before they reached the
scene OF their objective. They were
dragged long distances through the
bush and over range of noun
tains. sometimes in temperature
of 100 degrees. The first encounter
with the enemy was when the Ger
man armed motor boat kingani
sailed into the bay where the Brit
ish ships lay, her commander un-
aware that the British navy was on
the spot, The Kingani was chased
into the lake and, after being heav-
lily sheled. surrendered She thea
resumed her career under the Brit
ish flag as the Fiji.
Some time afterward another
German boat appeared, the Hedwi-
gavon Wissmann. The Fiji and
Mimi chased her thirty miles, until
at $500 yards the Fiji got the range
with high-explosive shells. In feI

Grafton OF committee reports and
general discussions were on the pro-
gram here for the second day of
the fifty-eighth annual session of the
Southern Presbyterian general as
sembly. The assembly Thursday
elected DR.. James |. Vance of Nash

tees presented.
A special committee appointed on
a resolution from the Rev. w. r.
Dobyns of St. Joe, Mo-, to prepare
a message OF confidence and en-
courae cement to President Wilson is
expected to report.
The report of the committee on
foreign missions, made public today,
shows the past year surpassed all
records in the number of conver-
sions reported from the foreign
field, in the cost of the work and in
the gifts of the people. The foreign
mission fields are located in Africa,
Brazil. China, Cuba, Japan, Korea
and Mexico, and the report shows
the number of additions to the
church in these fields during the
year vas 5,972.
Foreign Communicates.
The number OF communicants in
th- foreign fields is now 1887, the
total Sunday School membership is
63.99l ard the number of students
enrolled in schools and colleges of
the church is 25.202.
The foreign mission work of the
year began with an initial appropri-
alton OF S520.N0. to which was add
ed du.ing the year Sl57,l94. Re-
ceipts for this cause from all sources
amounted to S670.2S7. The deficit of
this committee now amounts to

Relief from Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at Sl.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black.
heads, blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is a clean, penetrating, antseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs a
mere trifle for each application. 1t Is
always dependable.

NOMIC AND MILITARY
COALITION.

Amsterdam, Wednesday, May ID.
The Frankfurter Zeitung, approx
ing the new Austro-German alli-
ance. which it says is an absolute
necessity to the German people, ad-
mits that a large part OF the Sla-
vonians in Austria, especially the
Czech -Slovenes, will oppose it;
wherefore it may not be exactly a
simple matter TO get the alliance
passed in the lower house. The pa
per suggests, however, that II is pos
sibe to win the Poles by the Aus
trian solution of the Polish ques-
ton, with the union of Galicia to
New Poland, and adds:
THE necessities inherent in these
things are strong enough to over
come the obstacles, and when the
war is ended by peace which gives
the central empire '"ir rights even
our opponents must see that the
course of the worlds history can
not be stopped by stubborn pro-
tests"

An officer of the flying corps was
out on reconnaissance in the region
OF the Rovuma River, but found
nothing to bomb. Being forced to
discharge his cargo OF bombs to
tighten his machine for the home
ward trip, he chose a quiet spot and
dropped them all, causing, of course,
considerable noise.
The Germa ngeneral, Tafel, was
at the time marching to Join his
chief Won Lettow, but news OF the
explosions was reported to him. and
he, thinking large force OF the en-
emy must be somewhere in the dis
trict, diverted his line OF march and
before long bumped into a British
force.

strong, surrendered. y

the contents OF the military agree
ment arrived at by the German and
Austrian emperors at their confer
ence is awaited with intense anxiety
in Vienna, according to a dispatch
to the Frankfertur Zeitung from the
Austrian capital.
The most important question is
whether the agreement is so com
plete that the Austro-Hungarian
army will be permeated with the
Prussian spirit as were the armies
of the south German states after
1866. In this event, it is added, the
alliance would be deepened and
completed in such manner that the
significance of other political and
economic questions would recede
into the background.

To this telegram the cardinal pre-

Some of my priests have been
arrested because of the letter |
wrote; others have been menaced
with threats of prison and depor-
tation to Germany, while others
have been fined. AS for me, they
have done nothing more than to
forbid me to leave my palace"
The reply did not go over the
German wire.
The next day there came an Off
Ger saying that siace the incident
was closed it was desired that the
cardinal modify the telegram, and
he wrote one which. in effect, said:
You will understand that in the

placed it is difficult for me to re-
