last night tho report of Is joint COM

was waged throughout the night. the
vote being announced this morning

but the checking up OF tho result re-
quirc4 some time.
The vote was announced by George

that the resolution proposing the
merger was adopted. and asked II
there was an appeal from the decision
of the chair. j. X. Rawlcy made an
appeal, but the decision was upheld
by an overwhelming majority. The
vote lacked twenty-four of being Il
wo-thirds one.
The report recommends that the
Westmorcland and the Common
wealth Clubs merge and that the con
solidated clubs take the name of the
,Wcstmoreland. IT will be located on
the site OF the Commonwealth. The
new home OF tho consolidated clubs

Another meeting of the Yestmore-
land members will be held July S
when details of the merger and trans

be arranged.
Stanchest opponents OF the pro.
posed merger OF the westmoreland
Club with the Commonwealth had
practically given up the fight for n
majority vote against tho PROPOSE
tion. as the vote was being checked
up after midnight. 1t was conccd ed
on all sides that the majority OF the
Westmoreland members favored the
report .bitught in by tho Joint com
| .nittee, urging that tho two clubs
be merged and that tho consolidated d
club be located on the site OF the
Commonwealth.
But. the opposing contingent. led
by Edward V. Valentine, relied upon
tho poin: that it requires n two
thirds vote to adopt such report.
This was small comfort. however, IN
face OF the prevalent rumor that tn
president ~ the Westmorland. George
Bryan. would hold that only n ma
jnri:y vote is required
Mr. Bryan's view was that held
by John Randolph Tucker, counsel
TO the state Corporation Commission,
TO whom the question had been re-
ferred for an opinion. Mr.. Tucker
held that the State law, ana not the
constitution of the club. is the guild 9
in a matter OF this kind.
Opposite opinions were filed by At
torneys John Pickrell, Daniel Grin
nan. James Lewis Anderson and John

the proposition must be carried ac-
cording to the constitution OF the
club.>callinS for two-thirds vote

aroused the most intense interest of
any question that has come before
the club for many years. In reply

BOLSHEvISTS
 EVEN IN AFRICA

Bolshevists are blamed for the hys- teria-breeding propaganda which has been sweeping through parts of Afri- ca and from which the native popu- lauon IS only now recovering.
 An account of the circumstance has just been received by Northern Bap- lists from pr. W. H. Leslie, Baptist Missionary of Vanga-
 "A report came that a new fetish spirit animal was abroad in the land, coming from the west" writes Dr.. Leslie. "It was said to have the face of white man, the forelegs and breast of a cat, and the cry of a bird It brought sure death to the towns it visited
 White was special attraction to it, so word was sent throughout the whole country to get rid of every thing white. Beads, bracelets and guns were also attractions and must be disposed of. This sounded quite BolShevistic. Yet strangely enough it was accepted as truth almost every where and people slaughtered or sold goats, ducks, chickens, dogs; in fact all animals or fowl that had any white on them.

CHASERS
 PUT ON SALE

Washington, March 24-Offer of sale to the public of 150 submarine chasers built during the war was an nounced today by the navy depart ment. Constructed at an average cost of $67,O00, including engine plant, consisting of three standard gasoline motors developing 675 horsepower. these craft now are ap- praised, it was said at $2O,000 each. In inviting offers from yatchsmen or commercial firms, however, it was said, several already had been sold at a figure slightly below this.
 Pointing out the "sp1endid construc- ton" and seaworthiness design of these vessels, which are 110 feet long, with Is foot beam and TT tons dis placement, the department suggested their adaptability either for pleasure or commercial purposes. The feasi- bility of removing two of the engines and retaining one on the central shaft, as a means of reducing gaso- line consumption and rendering them more desirable for private use, also was noted. This would give the craft , a speed of about nine knots, it was said, against the three engine speed of IT knots.
 The vessels may be inspected at any ! east coast navy yard.

JOSHUA

March 24th is the anniversary ot the death of one of the great leaders of all time. Joshua died on this date in 1426, B. c. The 24th Nizan is marked as feast in the Jews calen- dar for the death of Joshua. He was buried, full of honor, in his own city 'fin the border of his inheritance.' The mighty leader of the children of Israel, as recounted in the Book of Joshua was the son of Nun. After the death of Moses, God spake unto Joshua, for Moses had laid his hands on Josuha and he was full of the spirit of wisdom and Gods first com
 nand to Joshua was to- lead the Is raelites into the Promised Land. The cheering words that ring like trumpet through history were these from the lips of the Almighty, "Only be thou strong, and very courageous" Of Joshua's faith, tact, power, war rior-ability, the splendid chapters in his book testify. It was Joshua who took the enemy city of Jerico, con- passing it for seven days with the Ark of the Lord. It was Joshua who set his heel upon the necks of heather kings. It was Joshua whose faith commanded the sun and moon to stand still until he had slain the ene- mics of Jehovah.
