Foe of Sect Warns

4 TLANTA, Jan. 20.-That the
A Mormon church still breaches
and doubtless practices polygamy,
that it has 5000 missionaries
quietly at work in the United
States, that a large number now
are working in Georgia, and that
Mormonism is rapidly becoming the
great political and moral menace
of the nation, were assertion made
yesterday in two Atlanta churches
by DR.. J. W. Tibbetts, campaign
manager of a national organization
backed by the orthodox churches to
fight Mormonism, who is here to
launch a drive against the famous
Utah sect in this state.
DR.. Tibbetts declares that the
Mormon church would openly es-
tablish polygamy if it dared. He
asserts that plurality of wives is
secretly practiced by members of
the church. He asserts that the
Mormons control six western states
and have balance Of power in five
other states. The church has a
huge financial strength, he further
asserts, accumulated from its mem
bers through the tithing system.

MARCH COTTON
OFF l6O POINTS;
NOSPOT SELLING

The cotton futures market went to
pieces today, decentralization resulting
on the various exchanges, and the
greatest slump in weeks taking place
The market was weak from the start.
March option, which rules the spot
market, opening in New York at a
decline of 80 points and closing at a
net loss of 100 points for the day over
Saturdays close and 1870 points be-
low the opening. The high point for
the day was 2490 for March, the clos
ing price Saturday Short selling by
spectators was given as the cause
Of the decline.
The spot market was not affected by
the decline of futures. for the reason
that there was absolutely no selling.
The market seems to be entirely bare
OF spots, and has been so practically
ever since the market dropped below
80 cents. However, the spot situation
was very confused because of the
heavy slump in futures. and quotations
we're almost unobtainable The local
quotation was 26 cents. but that was
only a symbol, as not a bale changed
hands during the day.

ARMENIAN DRIVE
HERE EXTENDED:
SHORT OF QUOTA

Because of the influenza situation,
which hindered the work somewhat,
and the fact that he was called out of
the city in the midst of the campaign
by the death of his brother at
Springfield, S. c., H. 0. Jones, chair
man of the Armenian relief drive for

work would continue this week in an
effort to put Sumter over the top on
her quota of $3,125.
During his absence a few additions
TO the amount raised came in. giving
SLABS cash actually on hand. In ad-
dition Mr.. Jones has received infor-
nation from various committees which
have not turned in the results of their
canvass that assures about $4,000 al
ready raised. He believes the total
will reach $500. and hopes that the
work to be done this week may bring
the total up to the quota
The National Council of Defense in
Washington yesterday wired State
Councils throughout the country to
lend every assistance in their power
to the Relief Association working in
this campaign.
The re-appearance of the Spanish in
iuenza epidemic and other local con-
ditions in a number of localities
throughout Georgia, Florida, Alabama
and Mississippi had caused the temp
orary postponement of their local
drives in the campaign to raise $780,
100000 for the Armenian-Syrian
Relief.
Reports from the more fortunate
counties in the states where the con
ditions permitted the campaign to
start on schedule time indicated that
these counties would be over the top,
and AS soon as conditions will permit
the campaigns to open where they
have been prevented by Providential
causes. every state will very quickly
raise it's quota

Bravery BY Two Nations;
Many Heroes in France

PARIS, Jan. 2O.-American col
ored troops, inspired by the valor
and leadership of their white Off
GERS and the American doughboy
in the ranks, have received much
praise for their work as a whole.
The names of several colored men
nave been mentioned in the lists of
those meriting special recognition.
First Lieut.. Ma1lelieu Rush, col
ored of Atlanta, has recently been
cited for bravery by both the Unit
ed States and Belgian commands.
Official announcement is made that
he is to receive decorations from
each The Belgian decoration is
awarded only to soldiers distin-
gushing themselves on more than
one occasion.
In the very last battle of the
war, fought near Mosnils on No
vember II. armistice day, Lieut..
Guy Kennedy, of the same colored
division, the 92nd, who was also
from Atlanta, lost his life while
leading Southern colored troops in
action. Rush was wounded in this
engagement.
John Hope, president of More
house College, Atlanta, acting un-
der the auspices of the American
Y. NJ c. A, has been working
with the colored soldiers and
stevedores in France for several
months. Sixteen lieutenants in the
92nd division, which has fairly
earned its reputation as a fighting
force have diplomas from More
house college. Fisk and Howard
universities and Tuskegee and
Hampton Institutes for the colored
race, are among other schools,
alumni of which are serving cred
itably with the 92nd

only one centre. The Southern col

Colored social service workers
have done excellent work minis

race in all sectors of the front,
at the seaports and in rest camps
in France and in England Be-
tween forty and fifty colored men
from the United States wear the
Red Triangle of the Y. NJ. C. A.
1t is estimated that 100000 col
ored men have seen service in the
American army. They have ac-
quilted themselves creditably,
with comparatively few excep-
tions. One army training camp in
the United States. at Des Moines,
Iowa furnished 700 officers, to
serve under white officers of
higher rang in command of the
