BAPTISTS TO MEET IN NASH
VILE JANUARY 18th.
SEMINARY DEMANDS IMMEDI-
ATE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
Evanston, Ill.

Evanston, Ill.
The Executive Board of the Nation
al Baptist Convention of the u. S. A.
has been called to meet at Nashville,
Tenn. Wednesday, January 18th at 10
A. n. in the chapel Of the Seminary.
AT New Orleans La many pledges
were made under the eloquent appeal
of the late Dr.. C. J. w. Boyd and it
is understood that this session Of the
Board will take steps to meet press
ing obligations that cannot be longer
delayed. DR.. G. A. Long of Helena,
Ark, the successor to DR.. Boyd, is
already located at Nashville and is
striving to stem the tide, but finds
conditions such that he is making an
earnest appeal for relief. The respons-
es from those making the pledges he
reports have been few. DR.. Edward
r. Jones, the president, in speaking
of the call said "Our school is the
only institution of its kind operated
by Baptists in the world it deserves
the instituted support of Baptists
everywhere. l believe they will give
it Our facilities are limited and stu
dents must necessarily be refused ad-
mission. Our entire indebtedness is
less than twelve thousand dollars. l
am of the opinion that when the
Board convenes in January each men,
Der will bring a donation of twenty
five dollars which will make a total
of twenty-five hundred dollars and
this would relieve us of a very embar-
RAISING situation" The program at

LEARNING THE WAY.

Elfe Itself IS school We must
learn or perish. The efforts made by
the race TO live respectively is sufi-
Gent proof that he has the spirit to
live we'll. Building homes, school
houses, churches, clubs, and various
kinds of institutions is but the out
ward manifestation of what the Negro
has in his heart and mind. He has
had TO battle against the hardships of
three centuries, and altho his progress
appears to have been slow, he has
struggled harder for the mark.
He has assumed all of the phases
OF the civilization he has so recently
become a part, and he is determined
that this development shall mark the
era in which he lives. We find the
young men and women matriculating
at the best universities and winning
laurel crowns. Wherever a door
swings lightly on its hinges they have
the courage to enter and make the
most out of their environment In
daunted by the tricks and chacinery
of his oppressor he struggles nightly
to make of them the confessor. The
press, the school room, the busy hum
of trade, the pulpit, the lodge, the
church, and other forces, all seem con-
centrated against the common foe.

BAPTISTS AT EVANSTON
CLOSE GREAT YEAR.
DR.. Edward P. Jones, Pastor
Wins Laurels.

The Broad Ak commendS only that
which it observes as worthy and out
of the ordinary. The citizens OF Ev-
anston. irrespective OF their affiliation,
delight to talk and tell of the wonder
full progress made by the great Mt
Zion Baptist Church, under the pas
torate of the Rev. DR.. Edward p.
Jones. formerly of Mississippi.
Commencing with the fourth year
of service one observes a spirit OF
unanimity and fellowship that is met
seldom in that denomination. Truly
here YOU will find one spirit and one
accord. and the membership, working
zealously to put over a program Of
construction. DR.. Jones and this won
derful congregation have made for
themselves a name honored, respected
and beloved as far as the influence OF
the great National Baptist CouveHuUn
over which he preSides, extends.
During his services the congrega-
ton has increased from a membership
OF One hundred to Eight hundred and
Scventy-six and has raised fully Sew
enty-five thousand dollars during the
three years for all phases of denom-
national cost. The Editor visited this
wonderful structure during the recent
session of the Masonic Grand Lodge
and was struck with the wonderful
building and its beautiful surround
ings. 1t was built at a cost OF One
hundred Thousand dollars, and we are
informed that they owe just Twenty
five thousand dollars, and the mem
bership is daily on the increase.
There is not a nook or corner in the
entire community but what the intlu-
ence of this wonderful congregation
elbows and makes itself felt. The
needy are a member; the poor assist
ed and the sick visited. One would
think that Dr. Jones with the many
heavy responsibilities upon him would
not be able to observe the details of
this great congregation, but the mem
bership is unanimous in its opinion
that he is a pastor, broad, kind and
sympathetic Out OF the many inter
views not one expressed other than
the greatest regard and esteem for
their pastor
A new honor awaits him, for in p =

 Paris, April 26 (By Associated Press). Briand told the chamber of deputies this afternoon:
 If on May 1 satisfactory proposals with acceptable guarantees are not made by the German government the Ruhr will be occupied"
 After hearing the premier's state ment. the chamber declared confi-- dence in the government by a vote of 424 to 29 with 59 deputies abstaining from voting. .....
 May Apply Penalties.
 The possibility of applying penal ties to Germany immediately after May 1 despite whatever propositions Germany may make regarding rep arations in general is being seriously considered, according to we'll in- formed French circles today, Such action would be because of the Ger man refusal to transfer one billion gold marks to the Rhineland or hand over the equivalent of that sum as de- manded by the separations commis- sion.

WASHINGTON RECEIVES
 GERMANY'S PROPOSALS
Official Comment Withheld, But Impression said to
 Be Favorable.

Washington, April 26.-Germany's counter proposals regarding repar- ations were received today at the state department and are understood to have been laid before the cabinet at its regular meeting. Just before the cabinet met announcement was met at the state department that tho memorandum from Berlin had been received during the night "in frag- ments" and was then under consid- eration by Secretary Hughes. {.
 Whether the proposals from Berlin will be transmitted to the Allied government will depend upon view of administration officers as, to ade- quacy of payments which Germany agrees to make, Even should tha American government decide that the proposals constitute a basis upon which negotiations could be re- sumed, it is the understanding that views of the allied diplomats here will be sought before any further move is made.
 Although official comment was withheld it was believed that tha German proposals had produced a favorable impression. Pending the outcome of the cabinet discussion, however even suggestions as to. the probable course of the United States in dealing with the German commun- ication were carefully withheld.

INCENDIARY FIRES CHURCH
Three Attempts to Destroy Church Of the Immaculate Conception at Portsmouth. N. H., Thwarted.

Portsmouth, N. H., April 26.-An incendiary attempt to destroy the Church of the Immaculate Conception was thwarted when two fires in the basement were extinguished and a third failed to burn. Oil soaked waste. newspapers saturated with kerosene and burned matches were found at the spot where the third fire was started. Rev. D. Alexander Sullivan, the pastor, returning from a late call discovered a fire on the floor of the basement, in front of a small altar. This was quickly quenched, but an- other was found in a partition close to a gas meter, from which the gas was flowing in a blaze.
 After this had been put out, the priest discovered in the boiler room the oil-soaked material for third blaze. In it were two newspapers one a foreign language paper of a year ago, the other a Los Angeles news paper printed in English. Father Sul- livan told the police that he had no suspicion as to the incendiary. Fire officials expressed the opinion that the fires had been burning about half an hour when discovered. Little dam- age was done.

TOWERS CONFLICTS
 WITH CITY CHARTER
Councilman From Second Living
 in Third Ward, Is Claim REFUSES TO RESIGN SEAT
Council Member States He Has Never Considered ReSignation-Cfty Law Provides Seat Shall Be Made Va cant By Removal.

Unless new elements enter into the case, 1t is probable that Councilman Reginald Towers will be asked to re- sign his seat as second ward coun- cilman in accordance with provi- sion of the charter, he having an nounced his intention of withhold ing his resignation in spite of the fact that he no longer lives in the ward which he represents in the council D.,
 Lives on Hamilton Street.
 In published statement, purport- ed to come from the councilman, it is stated that rumors to the effect that he has considered resigning are false and he will remain until his term expires next April. At the time of his election, he was living on Stan ley street in the Second ward. Some time ago he changed his residence to 50 Hamilton street, which is in the Third ward Inquiries at the office of the town clerk indicate that the latter address is his official home and the place to which official mes sages are transmitted to him. The city directory also gives that ad- dress as his home.
 Charter Provision.
 The section of the charter which, Second warders point out. disquali- fies Councilman Towers from further representing the ward, reads as fol- lows: t... sf
 'An officers elected by said city at large shall be residents of said city, and all officers of the several wards shall be residents of their respective wards and shall vacate their offices by a removal therefrom."
 Officials Are Silent.
 Whether the council or the mayor will ask the councilman for a resig- nation or whether they will consider his removal from the ward as equivalent to resignation and pro- ceed to elect his successor, is a mat ter of conjecture. Both the mayor and the corporation counsel were disinclined to discuss the legal side of the matter this morning. 5.s
 May Vote in Second.
 The registrars of voters point out that Councilman Towers, under a ruling of the attorney general, has the right to designate his business house, the Towers Brick company, as the place from which he may vote. They have no ruling upon whether or. not he may represent the ward in which a business is located, hence, 1t is pointed out, the only existing rule is that which would disqualify the council member.
