Amsterdam, Aug. 23, via
London, 6:06 a. m.—At the se-
cret conference of cabinet min-
isters, political leaders and in-
fluential writers, called by the
German imperial chancellor be-
for the re-assembling of the
reichstag last Thursday to dis-
cuss the political situation, the
Telegraaf Says, Karl Helffrich,
secretary of the treasury, ex-
plained that the new German
war loan would completely ex-
haust the empire's financial re-
sources and that the increase in
exchequer bonds would cause
bankruptcy. Therefore, Doctor
Helffrich argued, it was needful
to prepare for an honorable
peace.
Chancellor von Bethmann-
Hollweg, according to the same
report, declared that the difficul-
ties of the empire increasing
and advised his hearers to use
their influence to soften down
bellicose inclinations in the
reichstag and the country, and
carefully to prepare peace pro-
posals which would be accepta-
ble to the four members of the
entente.
Dr. Dernhard Dernburg's re-
port of the failure of his mis-
sion in the United States and
other neutral countries, the
Telegraaf says, made a strong
impression on the conference.
General von Moltke, former
.chief of the German staff, de-
clared that he fully agreed with
the chancellor and added that
only those not fully informed on
the situation could hope for the
possibility of complete Rus-
sian defeat.
Despite these declarations,
the story concludes, the meet-
ing refused to adopt a resolu-
tion advocating moderation in
the reichstag, whereupon the
chancellor declared that if a ma-
jority of the reichstag should
show an irreconcilably chauvin-
istic attitude, he would be oblig-
ed to resign, as he could not ac-
cept responsibility for Ger-
many's disaster.

IN MEMORY OF
CLANDY PETTY
The subject of this sketch de- j
parted this life August 4th, af-!
ter an illness of one month, be-
ing taken sick with Typhoid Fe-
ver July 4. Having suffered
many deaths before the end
came.
He was just budding into
manhood, having just passed
his 15th birthday July 18.
We can not see why God in
His alwise love and mercy saw
fit to take such a kind, patient,
loving and effectionate youth as
he, for he was the light and life
of the home in which he lived.
He will be missed in his home
in many ways, he being so use-
ful in so many places. He will
also be missed in his school and
by all his school mates and
friends, old and young which
was many. He was loved by all
who knew him.

tive. Numbers that are the latest fashion today, may be absolutely
worthless—in point of style value—six months hence. These

Mexia., - Texas
In Love he lived
In peace he died,
His life was craved
But God denied.
Oh! what a joyful thought
that he professed Christ as his
Savior. As he had to go we
know he is and will be with him
forever more.
We sympathize with his loved
ones in this their loss, but their
loss is his eternal gain. He
leaves a father, mother, one sis-
ter, two brothers, and two
grand parents, and a host of rel-
atives and friends to mourn his
death. He was laid to rest in
the old Armour Cemetery near
Coolidge, followed by a long
concourse of relatives and
friends. His grave was covered
with flowers that shows that
the friends think as I do.
We loved^ him, yes we loved him
| But Angels loved him more,
I But they have sweetly called
him
To yonder Shining Shore.
The Golden Gates were open,
A gentle voice said come,
And with farewells unspoken
He calmly entered Home.
O, 'tis so swet to trust in
Jesus. We can't say "too much
about this useful lad, for he was
an exception of a boy.
This lovely bud so young an fair
Called hence to early doom,
Came to show how sweet
A flower in Paradise would
bloom.
