Congress Is Held in Atlanta to Further
Purpose.
By Associated Press.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 5.—Cotton growers,
merchants, bankers, commissioners of
agriculture and others vitally inter-
ested in the campaign for increasing
the production of food crops in the
south met here today at the opening
session of the southeastern food-crops
congress. The congress, which will ad-
journ tomorrow, was called by the
Georgia chamber of commerce to devise
means to induce southern farmers to
plant food crops sufficient for their
own use, so that whatever profit they
may derive from their cotton will not
be expended for meats and provisions.

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested food,
or have a feeling of dizziness, heart-
burn, fullness, nausea, bad taste in
mouth and stomach, headache, you can
get blessed relief in five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
fifty-cent cases of Pape’s Diapepsin,
then you will understand why dyspep-
tic troubles of all kinds must go, and
why they relieve sour, out-of-order
stomachs or indigestion in five min-
utes. “Pape’s Diapepsin” is harmless;
tastes like candy, though each dose
will digest and prepare for assimila-
tioni nto the blood all the food you
eat; besides, it makes you go to the

Your mother is the best friend you
Will ever have, and if you will always

This remark was made by Mayor
Lewis Fisher during'the course of an
address to the boys’ gospel meeting at
the Y. M. C. A. Sunday. His topic was
“Why Boys Go Wrong.”
P. W. Horn, superintendent of the
Houston schools, will be the speaker
bunday next and will address also the
men’s gospel meeting on the subject,
“A Man’s Work.”
The men’s meeting yesterday, was
well attended. Alexander Russell spoke
on the subject, “The Great War From
a Christian Viewpoint.”
In the intercity membership cam-
paign beginning Tuesday points, based
on population, will be scored as fol-
lows:

ber; Fort Worth, 8; Galveston, 10. Each
organization will get one point for each

With one' accord, the church going
people of Galveston yesterday entered,
into the spirit of the proclamation of
President Wilson in which he request-
ed that Sunday, October 4th, be ob-
served as a day of prayer for the res-
toration of peace among the war
stricken nations of Europe. Rabbi,
priest and preacher made at least one
service of the day bear the burden
of earnest prayer that this war might
cease and that all war might hereafter
be abolished.
At Temple B’nai Israel, Rabbi Henry
Cohen lectured from Isaiah ii:4: “And
he shall judge between the nations and

war any more.” A large congregation

Fourteen city Protestant Sunday
schools reported a total attendance
yesterday of 2,160, a gratifying prelude
to Rally day, which is to be observed
next Sunday. The presence of Trinity
Episcopal school among the reporting
institutions added 196 to the sum total,
154 of whom were children. In total
attendance the First Methodist heads
the list with 333, present, 214 of them
being children,, and this gives the First
Methodist school the head of the pro-
cession in this regard, the First Luth-
eran being a close contender with 213
present. The First Baptist school broke
the record for the number of adults
attending, reporting 112 out of a total
in all the schools of 399.
For Rally day, next Sunday, the
superintendents’ council have set the
mark for an attendance of 2,500, but
the more enthusiastic workers have un-
officially determined to make it 3,000,
with 1,000 Bible brought to the schools.
Special programs have been announced
for most of the schools and extraor-
dinary efforts will be put forth during
the week to justify the expectations of
the superintendents and workers.
At Anne Trueheart Memorial Pres-
byterian Sunday school Rally day was
observed in accordance with the gen-
eral conference assembly. A special
program was conducted and special of-
fering taken.

London, Oct. 5.—A graphic account
of the frustration of an attempt by the
Germans to cross the Niemen river is
given by the Daily Telegraph’s Petro-
grad correspondent:
“The Germans appear to have fallen
into a Russian trap,” the correspondent
says:
“On Sept. 23 the rear guard of Gen.
Rennenkampf’s Russian army was
transferred to, the right bank of the
Niemen river and the following evening
the Germans approached the stream,
The next day, seeing no signs of oppo-
sition, the Germans constructed pontoon
bridges and completed this work with-
out molestation.
“It was only when the troops were
pouring across in fancied security that
a sound like the roll of thunder was
heard and dozens of Russian guns,
cleverly screened, opened their con-
centrated fire on the crowded bridges.
“Before the blast of shrapnel and ma-
chine gun projectiles the Germans were
swept into the river by hundreds.
Speedily, however, the challenge of the
Russian guns was taken up by the Ger-
man artillery and for a long time the
duel continued.
“At last the Germans, thinking they
had got the measure of the Russian
gunners, made another attempt to
throw their troops across. But this
time also they had no better luck and
not one of the soldiers who stepped
upon the bridge either reached the op-
posite side or returned.
“The bodies of the slain floated down
the yellow flood. Still the Germans

Galveston to give the Jovians here an-

When the smoke of the battle had

ing 18 to 16.

Milan, Oct. 4.—Via Paris, Oct. 5.—A
great meeting was held here tonight
and before a large and enthusiastic
crowd, Signor Battisti, a socialist dep-
uty from Trent, Austria, made a speech
in which he said that he was much
touched by the imposing demonstra-
tion. He could only say as a son of
Trent that it was awaiting liberation
by its Italian brothers.
“The liberation of Trent and Trieste,”
he said, “means the accomplishment of
a duty left as a heritage by the great
makers of the fatherland.”
The enthusiastic crowd, after the
speech, paraded the streets and at-
tempts of the police and caribineers to
restrain the people were in vain. At
the Montenegrin consulate the crowd
made a 'manfestation of sympathy and
then marched to the monument of Gar-
ibaldi, where other speakers delivered
fiery speeches.

Arkansas Governor Calis Meeting to Be
Held in Memphis.
By Associated Press. /
Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 5.—Gov. George
W. Hays today communicated with
governors of the cotton growing states
requesting them to set a date to meet
with him in Memphis for the purpose of
discussing a bill enforcing reduced
cotton acreage in 1915 and to fix a date
for special sessions of the several
legislatures to act upon the bill. Gov
Hays chose Memphis for the prelimi-
nary meeting because of its central
location. The action of the governor is
in accordance with resolutions adopted
at a recent state cotton conference and
follows a plan advocated by United
States Senator James P. Clarke.
sang “Let Us Have Peace” at the
offertory in the services.
Rev. W. M. Sherrell of West End
Methodist church read from the 29th
chapter of Jeremiah as an appropriate
recognition of the day and devoted the
balance of the hour’s service to prayer
and appropriate hymns.
In his sermon yesterday morning at
St. Patrick’s church, Rev. Father James
W. Cotter, acting pastor, took for his
text these words from Psalm xxx, 15:
“Turn away from evil and do good;
seek ye after peace and pursue it.”
Rev. Father Cotter declared this was
an age in which the princes of the
world seem to have forgotten some
of the most fundamental doctrines of
the Prince of Peace. He declared that
Europe, which had been recognized as
the stronghold of Christianity, had
changed colors now. The priest said
the forgetfulness of God by warring
nations was made manifest in a man-
ner which he pointed out, and then
declared the result is the same as is
always the case when God is put aside
in the rush for temporal power.
At the Central Christian church
Peace Sunday was observed with spe-
cial prayers, singing of selected hymns
and a sermon on “Peace” delivered by
the pastor, Rev. J. B. Holmes.
Dr. Holmes directed his congrega-
tion’s attention to the thought that all
the great events in the life of Jesus
are coupled with prayer—his baptism,
at the choosing of the twelve, at the
transfiguration, at the raising of Laz-
arus and at his crucifixion. The minis-
ter said: “If Jesus himself felt the
need of special communion with God,
how much more should we pray.”
For the subject of his Peace Sunday
sermon Rev. R. M. Hall, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, took “Ye Are the
Salt of the Earth.” The 11 o’clock ser-
vice was largely attended.
Dr. Hall paid a high tribute to Pres-
ident Wilson, who, though in the most
exalted office within the gift of the
people of the United States, he said
realized the frailty of temporal power
and like every true disciple of Christ
asked that everyone should join in an
earnest appeal to the most high God.
In addition to the regular services
at the First Baptist church Sunday
morning, Rev. Dr. Edward Stubblefield
preached on “Peace,” and also led the
congregation in a special prayer, car-
rying out the request of President
Wilson.
The pastor was presented with sev-
eral hundred printed copies of the
peace hymn and the congregation
joined with the choir in singing, under
the direction of Miss Sadie Phillips.

Relief Measures Will Be Adopted at
Conference in New York.
By Associated Press.
New York Oct. 5.—The American
Jewish committee in a statement is-
sued today stated that a preparatory
conference to meet here would soon be
called of representatives if important
Jewish organizations throughout the
country to consider relief measures
for the Jews who are in distress in
Europe. The statement says, that while
it is premature to consider what relief
measures should be adopted, Informa-
tion is being gathered in Europe of the
extent of the distress among Jews and
urges that organizations throughout
the country should hold themselves in
readiness to cooperate in the work to
be mapped out at the conference here.

Dispatch From War Correspondent
Would Indicate as Much.
By Associated Press.
London, Oct. 5.—The Morning Post’s
English correspondent in Antwerp
makes the following statement:
“The Belgian field artillery is co-

artillery. Our infantry is entrenched
on the near bank of the Nethe, opposite
the main German forces. Two German
attempts to cross the river have been
smothered by our artillery.”
Field Marshal Sends News of Victory
Over Balkan Allies.
By Associated Press.
London, Oct. 5.—A correspondent of
Reuter’s Telegram company at Amster-
dam transmits the following official
report from Vienna signed by Field.
Marshal Potiorek:
“The Servian and Montenegrin forces
invading East Bosnia have compelled
us to detach mobile forces for this reg-
ion, which is far from the area of the
principal decision. The first action
started in East Bosnia already has
come to a successful termination. Two
Montenegrin brigades, after two days
of severe fighting, were completely de-
feated and repulsed. They now are in
a panicky retreat across the border and
they must leave behind them their
transport together with a considerable
quantity of supplies. These forces had
previously looted Bosnia.
“In the action undertaken in the
northern part of the country, half a
battalion of Austrian troops captured
a full battalion of Servians.”
No product ever mined from the bos-
om of mother earth, not excepting gold
itself, has created such intense interest
as has Vitalitas. It is proving the
greatest boon that Nature has given
to mankind.
Today thousands of people are prais-
ing it or recommending it to their rela-
tives or their sick friends. Numbers
have shipped it to their relatives across
the seas and the parcel post and ex-
press companies are carrying it daily
to all parts of America.
Vitalitas is all good; every drop of
it is health creating and disease elimi-
nating. There is nothing else in the
world like it. It drives such diseases
as indigestion, biliousness, rheuma-
tism, liver and bowel ills from the sys-
tem.
Aside from its chemical properties
there is a force in it that adds to its re-
vitalizing and reinvigorating effects
on all diseased and weakened tissues.
Vitalitas brings new health, even after
everything else has failed.
See the unique display and sample
Vitalitas today at Schott’s drug store,
or write there for information.—(Adv.)
There was a peculiar appropriate-
ness, said the rabbi, in the choice of
this test, suggested by the proclama-
tion of the president of the United,
States for Peace Sunday, coinciding as
it did with the festival of Succoth—
harvest-tide—for on this feast Mes-
sianic claims were dwelt upon in the
Jewish ritual. The material harvest
prefigured a spiritual ingathering,
which, becoming universal, forecast the
Messianic era. One of the prerequis-
ities of this era was, according to the
Scripture, the abolition of war, the
universal theme of the pulpit on this
particular Sunday; “an appeal from the
erring conceits of men to the just
judgment of God.”
“A Declaration of War” was unani-
mously adopted by the First Methodist
church . at the morning services. The
resolutions were aimed at the “pow-
ers of darkness” and were presented
at the close of the services which for-
mally opened the revival. As a spe-
cial feature of these services the sing-
ing evengelists, Mr. and Mrs. A. C.
Fisher, led in the singing. At the
morning service Rev. Dr. Goddard, the
pastor, took as his subject, “What is
a Revival?” and at the night service
his discourse dwelt with the way to
have a revival. It was reported that
sixteen were added to the church the
first day.
The revival will continue every night
this week with services at 10 o’clock
in the morning and at 7:30 o’clock at
night.

Suffragists Plan to take Advantage of
Crowds.
The women equal suffrage advocates
of Galveston are finding- that the small
boy isn’t the only one who gains “when
the circus comes to town.” for they
have determined to push their “votes

day on the lawn at 25th street and

than 20,000 German corpses were car-
ried down the Niemen after this awful
carnage.
“In the fight at Sredniki, on the Nie-
men, Sept. 15, the German casualties
are also said to be large. An eye wit-

[ Germans were lying unburied for some
