SHORTER WINS
AND LOSES IN
BAPTIST MEET

MACON, Nov. 22.-The Georgia
Baptist Convention, which ended its
SSth annual session Thursday night,
put the stamp of approval on the or
thodoxy of President A. W. Van
House, of Shorter College, and also
approved the orthodoxy of the insti-
tuition, but declined to take Shorter
into the Mercer educational system.
Shorter's entry was shelved by the
convention for twelve months.
Under the action of the conven-
ton, Shorter College is to receive
designated funds during the rs
million campaign; that is, the funds
that the donors designate shall go to
that institution, and percentage of
the total funds raised shall be set
aside for Shorter should the institu-
ton be taken into the fold of the
Mercer educational system one year
hence. The action provided that,
"designated" funds shall count in the
quota of churches where the gifts
are made.
The action of the convention did
not follow the course of the recon-
mendation of the committee, al
though friends of Shorter believe it
will have practically the same result,
For time yesterday afternoon dur
ing the debate it looked as if the CON
vention had tied itself into knot
from which it could not be freed IN
connection with the Shorter College
matter. The skill of one of Geor-
gia's best parliamentarians, Dr. John
D. Nell, president of the convention,
brought order out of chaos and help |
ed to bring about love feast for the
Baptists in their closing session.
The report of the committe was
read by DR.. Carl W. Minor, of Amer
icus. chairman of the committee of
nine.

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take
tablespoonful of the tea, put cup of

Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe

Homeless In Berlin

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-(By Associat-

so great in Berlin suburbs that the
mayor of Wilmersdorf has announc-
ed that it will be necessary this win

unoccupied room in the dwellings of
that community. His purpose is un-

this ruling, a family of three per-

Washington. March 12.-For con-
Quoting a filibuster In the senate In
the closing hours Of the last session
Of congress and preventing the pass
age of important legislation the re-
publicans were today charged by
Homer S. Cummings, chairman OF the
democratic national committee. with
trying to cripple the government, force
an extra session and prevent Presi-s
dent Wilson's return to Paris, purely
for partisan purposes and to embarrass
the president.
Mr.. Cummings declared in a state
ment issued today that by the fill
buster the republicans deliberately in
terfered with reconstruction OF the
country's industries, checked demob-
ilizatfon OF troops, withheld necessary
funds from the railroad administration
and generally injured labor and busi-
ness confidence.
His statement reads as follows:
Defeat of departmental appropria-
lions and important fiscal measures

senate. delays and hampers recon-
struction at the moment when the
country's Industrial and commercial
interests were reviving from the eff

construction and impairs business

Secretary Baker says the failure Of
appropriations for the war department
hinders it's plans for rehabilitation.
"The greatest regret which I have
about it is that number of men will
have to be retained in the service
whom we were rather anxious to de-
mobilize" Mr.. Baker says. "The bill
proposed the formation of a regular
army of 100000 men. BY en1isting
these 100000 and getting going we
would have had troops to replace those
whom we will otherwise have to keep.

One of the results of this successful
opposition to vital legislation will be
felt by practically every man and
woman in the tax OF 10 per cent on the
sale of semi-luxuries. The democrats
attempted to repeal this provision OF

made this impossible.
Some faint idea Of the harmful con-
sequences of this filibuster to the
business of the government and the
welfare OF the people, including SOL
diers and workers, may be gained from
a mere mention of the total OF the ap-
preparations which were killed. Their
aggregate was $4,000, O00, 900. A bet

son, personal and political-not sin

in depriving the government of au-

venting the passage of appropriation
