Matter Will be Put Up to
Officials of All the
Churches.
Meeting ON SUNDAY
Will be Held in the Chau-
tauqua Tent After the /.
Afternoon Program.

1t was decided at this mornings
meeting of the Ministerial Associa-
ton to hold a meeting of all the
church officials and ministers
Sunday afternoon in the Chautau-
qua tent following the afternoon
program. At this meeting it will
be decided on what date Billy Sun
day shall be engaged TO come to
Fairmont. The ministers have de
cided that Sunday ought to eb C..
gagged, but the proposition is
enough to warrant placing the
sponsibility on as many should
as possible.
At the meeting Sunday afte"
noon it will be decided defnitC<
whether Billy Sunday will be con-
tracted for and other questions,
such as the building and location
of a tabernacle will be discussed.
Billy Sunday offers one, of two
dates, either in the spring or the
fall of 1921. 1t is the general opin-
ion of the ministers that the spring
would be the best time to have him
here.
If Sunday is engaged he will be
met by delegation of Fairmont
ministers and laymen in Roanoke,
Virginia, in September. At this
meeting the final arrangements
will be made.

A full-blooded Hopi Indian will

is A. Patasoni, student at Haskell
Institute. Before the trials at Chi
cago the Indian was unheard of.
His ime for the long grind was SO
minutes 1886 S-5 seconds. His per-
formance stamps him as one Of
the country's best runners. He
Tapped most Of his opponents and
finished the long route with the
speed OF a sprinter. But the
chances of the American team to
place IN this event at Antwerp are
rather scant, as the Great French

WARNING AGAINST POISONOUS
FISH.
Carangs caught in fish pots apt to cause
fish-poisonihg

September %, 1918, an epidemic of fish
poisoning occurred in St. Thomas.
investigation vi the cases revealed tine
fact that all the victims had partaken OF
carang. caught in a deep sea hsh-pOt. In
all, "a cases Of fish poisoning occurred.
October IA, 1919, practically the identi-
cal occurrences was repeated.
Nine carangs were caught in a deep
sea fish pot, and of the eleven people
who ate this fish all we're taken sick with
fish poisoning.
1t may be stated that the carangs
caught on above occasions were Identical
in appearance with the ordinary Seine
carang, a distinct species as compared
with the we'll known poisonous yellow
back carang.
The underlying factors. causing fish
poisoning, are, in the majority OF cases.,
obscure. In some fishes a well defined
toxin has peer isolated whereas IN others
no positive findings have been ascer-
tanned.
With regard to the carang, the con-
census of opinion on the subject, seems
to be that this fish at certain times is
very prone to spoliatlO2 with the for
nation of poisonous substances. proba-
hlv in connection with their spawning
periods.
Due to the above facts that fish poison
ing has been caused two years IN success
sion by eating carang caught III deep sea
fish pots, around the same time OF the
wear. it isalikely that carangs caught IN
his manner. between the months OF Au-
gust and November. inclusive, are pois-
onous.
Hence-a warning is hereby given

Paris. Aug. 6th.-There has been a
virtual cessation of the Bolshevik ad-
vance in the region to the North of War
saw along the East Prussion border.
It is declared in reports to the Allied
missions to Poland to be due not only
to Polish rallies at certain points, but
primarily to the Russians, lack of ammu-
milton.
London, Aug. 9Th. The Polish crisis
is still grave, out, as the result OF
today's developments, the situation
is regarded as being easier. There
has been no rupture in the negotla-
tons with the Russian Delegation,
and much it is now held will depend
on the attitude of France. 1t has
been decided that Mr.. Lloyd George,
who will be ACCOMPANIED by Field
Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, will meet
M. Millerand and Marshal Foch on Sun
day, either at Polkestone or Boulogne, to

PRESIDENT ISSUES CALL FOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS ASSEMBLY
Treaty, as signed, Provides for his Call
ing Session to Meet at Geneva, NoVem
Der Is.
Washington, July 16 President vii
son has issued a call for a meeting of the
Assembly of the League Of Nations at
Geneva, Switzerland, on November Is.
The call issued by the President has
been sent to all nations which are mem
bers of the League, each Of which will
be entitled to representation IN the AS
sembly. Under Article X of the League
Covenant, the first meeting of the As
sembly shall be summoned by the Presi-
dent of the United States Of America"
The Presidents decision If favor of
Geneva as the initial meeting place not
only means that the first sessions will
take place on neutral soil, but that the
President has again indicated his disap-
prevail Of Brussels as the place for the
permanent seat of the League. 1t will
be recollected that the allied powers were
at first in favor of the selection of the
Belgian capital. President Wilson took
a firm stand against this at the peace
conference, when he insisted that the
seat should be on neutral soil, and Art
Gle 7 of the treaty as finally sigl ed, pro-
vided that the seat of the League is es
tabiished al Geneva"
Despite the fact that Geneva is Sc
named in the treaty, there has been d
movement among allied officials in favor
of Brussels. The recent request of the
League Council that the President sum
mon the first meeting of the League AS
sembly was delivered in 9 manner to in
dictate that Lloyd George, MilIerand and
the other principal Allied leaders, favored
Brussels. The President, however, for
a second time, indicated his preference
for Geneva.
The President having now issued the
summonses for both the League Council
and Assembly, his personal obligations
under the terms of the Treaty have ceas-
ed. 1t is not incumbent upon the Pres
ident to summon any subsequent meet
ings of the League.
Under the Treaty the League itself
may subsequently change The place OF
meeting. Porto Rlco Progress, July 3Oth.
