Three Privates, All Southerners, Conduct
Successful Daylight Raid on Hun Trenches

With the American Army in Lor-

conducted the successful daylight raid
on the German trenches yesterday
were Southerners, names, John Dis
mukes, Of Nashville, Tenn, Harry
Couth, Of Birmingham, Ala, and Jno.
Mccain, also Of Birmingham. These
soldier boys got six Germans between
them. The story of the raid is told
as follows:
Details of the fighting in the Lune-
vile sector tell Of an encounter be-
tween Americans and German forces
in No Mans Land. Three American
snipers, dressed in camouaage suits,
set out to discover a nest of sharp
shooters who had been operating with
much success and had killed one
American officer and one private.
They penetrated the enemy posi-
ton and suddenly encountered num-

General Conference
Votes Equal Rights
CBy the United Press. )

Atlanta, Ca, May l4.--Following
the decision of the college bishops
that granting laity right to women
was unconstitutional, the Southern
Methodist General Conference today,
by an overwhelming vote, overruled
the Bishops veto and again declared
itself in favor Of equal rights for wo-
men in all church activities. Final
action on the resolution now rests
with the Annual Conference, who
has the right to reject or accept the
proposition.
For the first time in the history Of
the church the conference voted also
to debate the Bishops veto before
the vote was taken.

extract:
"The whole march gave one a sort
of at-home feeling. ] think that was
the biggest thing about it if you ask
me-that they should want us to feel
at home and that we should feel at
home. Some Of the fellows say it was
the biggest moment they ever hope to
have, standing there in front of the
palace. What it made me feel was
that we were all in it together"
Happiest Event of Their Lives.
Frederick Vile, in the Weekly Des-
patch, says that as an American, he
knows that every man in the regiment
felt it was the happiest and most
memorable event of his life. He adds
that the Despatch has received a
sheaf Of letters from all over Great
Britain with counteless schemes for
organized hospitality to the American
troops.
Whether good or bad" he says,
"the suggestions spring unmistakably
from one universal sentiment with a
whole-hearted anxiety to convert
Great Britain into sammies 'blighty'
il he will have it"
The Sunday Pistorial says: "The
kng could not help but notice, the
grit and determination of the Ameri-
cans reflected in their clean-shaven
faces and square jaws"
Left New York Without a Cheer.
"Finely built clean-looking troops =
says the Sunday Herald. "They made
an excellent impression. Everywhere
they were enthusiastically welcomed,
AS one broad-shouldered giant said
Your peoples hearts seem as big as
the streets are broad. We had to
leave New York without a cheer and
this makes up for it.
Lord Denbigh, addressing the An.
glo-French society Of London yester-
day said one of the most inspiring
sights he had ever seen was the
march of the American 5attalions in
London. They were a fine lot OF
men as he had seen for long time
They looked to be men Of that quail
ity which would train very fast. They
would become good soldiers very
much fgaster than the boche would
have them, he declared.
Kings Welcome Magnificent Lead. =
The Weekly Despatch, which has
inaugurated campaign for hospital
ity to American soldiers, says on that
subject:
"The kings message to every Amer
lean soldier upon his landing upor
our soil is a magnificent lead to tht
country. The king leads. Who will
not follow?"

To Discuss the
Mexican Problem
(By the United Press }

Washington, May 14.-Germans
recently endeavored to gain a foot
hold in the Tampico oil regions by
purchasing rights, and some armed
forces in that region are known to be
Germans. These two significant facts
known today have come to the atten-
ton of the American government.
Secretary Lansing appeared before
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee today to discuss the Mexican
problem, and particularly the Tampi-

London, May 1S.-The appearance
of American national army men on
parade in the streets Of London ar
oused the enthusiasm Of the Sunday
papers as have few events in many
months. The writers unite in giving
unstinted praise to the appearance
Of the men and predict for them a
record Of splendid achievement when
they reach the front.
"since the thrilling days Of the
first months q the war;" says the
Observer. London has not known
such notable scene Of enthusiasm.
sThe finest sight ] have seen since
the war began" was the verdict of a
young soldier who has seen service
on four fronts. The men are a fine
looking body and appear to be in the
pink of condition. The companies
filed past with light, elastic step,
keeping excellent time and creating
mighty favorable impression of
their marching qualities and ply
siaue."
Special Welcome by the Women.
"Londoners cheered as they have
not cheered for many months, says
Lloyd's Weekly News. From the
moment when the first battalion de-
