Tribute to English Tommies.

Tribute to English Tommes.
A tribute was paid to the English
soldiers who were sent to their land,
by Mrs. Funk last night. She said
that whenever the English Tommies
came into their territory all OF the
women and children felt safe. After
having Russians and Turks quartered
in their city of Hamadau for SO long,
1t was pleasant to have the English,
she said. and the companionship with
them was pleasant.
The missionaries are anxious to
get back to their beloved land, but
they want to take with them the co.
operation, the prayers and support
Of the American people, and Mrs.
Funk pleaded last night to the
women to really become sisters TO
the women Of Persia.

Mrs.. Funk questioned her audience

war experiences in Persia"
THE hardest experience we en-

Of some of the horrors Of those

Famine. Hardest Experience.
The missionaries fed all of the ma
tives they had food for, but. in the
words of Mrs. Funk. "our relief work
was not drop in the bucket" She
spoke highly of the help rendered the
Syrians by the British soldiers when
they came into Persia during the

in relating the tragedies of the fam

Mrs Funk told in detail of the first
and second appearances Of the Rus

took possession Of things which they
found there. They demanded Of DR..

Especial to The Times Dispatch.
WASHINGTON. May 9.--With the
nre-convention campaign practically
over and with the Chicago convcn-
t!on less than a month away, the Re-
publican party is no moro able AT this
moment to point 10 its candidate for
the presidency than il was six months
ago. when the field was Hospitality
open TO all comers.
The party is sp!it-pcrhaps irrccon-
cilahly--into factions which threaten
to make the coming conclave as mem
or2ble as any held In the life Of this
generation. Half a dozen candidates
~n go before the assembled delegates
with considerable strength, but not
one OF these stand out as more than
probability. Not one has come
through the primary fire unscathed or
unscorchcd. All have aroused more
opposition than support.
To Wipe the Slate Clean.
This peculiar situation encourages
the conviction that once the party
masters come together. once they
take stock. they will decide that
party interests compel them TO wipe
the whole slate clean. to throw all
existing candidates into the discard
and to nominate some man who has 4
chance Of uniting all the forces and
10 win the presidency.
Washington believes that II is next
to impossible to nominate and elect
any Of the avowed candidates now on
the list.
General Leonard Wood. who will
probably lead the field on the hrst
ballot. can scarcely hope to win the
final support OF the Johnson faction,
as every Johnson supporter feels that
II was Wood money--not tho Wood
personality-ihat captured the New
Jersey. Maryland and Indiana dclcGa-
tons 10 the national convention.
Johnson is profoundly distrusted by
the conservative elements in the party
and is hated by the Wood men. The
latter are morally certain in their
own minds that il Johnson had stay
ed out, the general would have swept
the country and landed the prize at
Chicago.
IIardinEN has been badly battered.
He was saved from mortifying defeat
in his home State by a dangerously
narrow margin. and his partisans
hate Wood for having sought TO
eliminate him by campaign in Ohio
more ruthless than that carried on
in any other State. The Harding
vote will scarcely so to Wood or to
