GUERILLA WARFARE REPORTED
IN SYRIA.

LONDON. Nova message from
Jerusalem to the National Political
League says that the guerilla warfare
has spread over vast areas in Syria
between Damascus and HONS, eighty
miles north of Damascus on the rail-
road, and is shaking French control
of the inundated region.
Another message says that eleven
villages in the Damascus district
have joined the guerillas, who are
beseiging four towns.
Jerusalem reports also say that
foreigners and native women are
leaving Damascus by the thousands,
but that native men are forbidden to
leave.
A report published by the Daily
Express that Great Britain has pro-
tested to France against allowing
Turkish troops to cross Syrian terri
tory under French mandate is said
in official uarters to be unfounded.
The treaty >sof Angora between
France and Turkey gives Turkey the
right to move certain number of
troops across the inundated region
provided that corresponding
strength is returned. The British
Foreign Office holds the view that as
yet nothing has happened calling for
a protest.

The Holy Trinity Baptist Church,
one o. the leading churches of our

tic splendor, These d(Nines played a
noble part in the drama of their
mystic lives. They having played
their respective part, the curtain OF

In 1911 Holy Trinity was without
a pastor. One Of the most diff. cult
tasks of a church is calling a pastor,
as the call frequently turns the tide

the church has had only three pas
tors. The membership of the church
at this time was rather small, only
175. With this small membership,
a call was extended DR.. w. F. Gra-
ham, who was pastoring one of the
largest churches in Richmond, Va. +,
a city famous for its large and pro-
gressive churches.
In this call, the church was ex-
tremely felicitous In it's choice. The
church went up by leaps and bounds

place among the largest and mos
influential churches in America,

Publicity Man, Quitting Champion
Sees Invalidation of Contract.

Sees Invalidation OF Contract:
LOS ANGELES. Nov.-Rob Roy
Benton, publicity director and coun-
sellor of Jack Dempsey, worlds
heavyweight champion, announced
tonight that he was resigning from
the champions employ, rather than
become a party to what he described
as an imminent invalidation of the
Fitzsimmons contract for bout be-
tween Dempsey and Harry Wills, the
negro challenger next year.
The publicity man declared that
cused of failure to fulfill terms of
IFitzsimmons would be formally ac-
the contract, verifying stories to that
effect already circulated by Ray Can
non, Milwaukee attorney. Benton
charges that Cannon, although esten-
sibly Dempsey's attorney, is in the
employ of Jack Kearns, Dempsey's
| former manager.
/ Benton AYERS that Kearns is in
reality behind the move to nullifv
the contract, as he desires to match
Dempsey in two fights before the
expiration next August of the con-
tract with Kearns still holds with the
champion, despite the fact that
Kearns no longer is actively connect

The War in Morocco.
Rifians Still Fighting
French and Spanish Troops Are
Checked--Cannot Advance.
French Troop Go Into Winter
Quarters, But Riffs Garry On"

LONDON, Nov.-The indications
that the French troops in Morocco
are preparing to 60 into winter quar-
ters does not mean that there wilt be
cessation of fighting, says a dis
patch to the Daily Mail, for if the
Riffs live up to their reputation, they
will harry the French and also the
Spaniards after their own fashion
of warfare.
Ridiculing reports that Abd-El-
Krim, leader of the rebellious
Moroccan tribesmen, is at the end
of his tether and surrounded. by
tribesmen who have revolted, the
correspondent says such stories
never emanated from French head
quarters He adds that Abd-El-
Krim probably is reasonably salts
fed with his position and that,
seemingly, he still has plenty of
money, weapons and reserves.

however, and the plucky sheriff ar

them up.
