"Let Not Yonr Hearta Be Tronhled"
"Let not your heart be troubled: Te

"In My Father's house are many man
sions- If it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for
you. I will not leave you comfortless: x
will ccme to you."
Dr. Beach uttered this simple prayer:
"We bless Thee for Thy grace, which
kindled in her heart the love of Thy
dear name, which enabled her to fight
the good fight, to endure unto the end
and to obtain the victory. We magnify
Thy name for the gift of this precious
life; for Thine Image graciously reflect

WAR'S EFFECT VISIBLE
ON NATURALIZATION
DIVISION OF COURT
In View of Possible Change of Eu
rope's Map, Applicants Don't Have
to Name Sovereign.
The European war's effect already
Is visible in the naturalization division
of tha District Supreme Court
Upon the hypothesis that the whole
map of Europe may be changed In a
few months, and that no European
residing here can now tell who will
be bis sovereign three months hence,
the court Is not requiring applicants
for naturalization to All In that part
of their papers which requires them
to name their sovereign.
There were thrco applicants yester
day. One Is a Hungarian, whose
country already is involved in the
wsr; one a Dane and the other a
Norwegian.
Three montha hence when tbey
must tske the oath of allegiance to
the United States tbey may have the
same sovereign as now, but who can
tell? At any rate, a change of ruler
in the old country will not hold UP
their applications for naturalization
Here.

strangulation of German maritime trade,
that la now In progress.
The advance of a French host through
Alsace-Lorraine will arouse the patriot
ism of the French and stimulate the
French arms.
"A similar advance of French forces
through Belgium will ease the strain
which haa been Imposed there by the
overwhelming odds favoring the Ger
mans. French Soldiers Impctnons.
The manner In which the French
drote tho Germans out of Muelhausen
was marked by all the dash and impetu
osity of the French soldiers in their best
days. But neither the French nor the
English should exaggerate the Importance
of these movements (In Alsace-Lorraine).
There Is even' Indication that the mass
of the French forces Is proceeding to the
northwest. How much of It Is In Lor
raine and how much of it is preparing to
advance through Germany and the Duchy
of Luzemburg and through Southern Bel
glum Is still a question. But there Is a
disposition to believe that the main opera
tions are toward the north.
"The grand army of the French nation
should be ready to move forwaro to de
cisive operations by Fr-di of this week
The main army of the German nation
should be In the neld by that time. The
1 1 oops which are enuseJ In the field at
present are only 'covenni; troops.' "
The admiralty today confirmed the re
port of the sinking of the German sun
marine IMS in an attack upon British
warships and denied rumors that sevrial
biltlsh vessels had ten sunk in a night
attack. It Is understood that the twelve
men In tho crew of the U-13 were
drowned.

' That a conflict between Japanese and
German warships in the far East may
be expected Is Indicated by a Reuter dis
patch teclved hero today from Tokio
It says:
"It Is believed that Japan will adhere
to tho spirit of ths Anglo-Japanese alli
ance to the very extreme limit. Tho
whereabouts of the German squadron Is
not disclosed, but it is reported to be
menacing British flipping"
The entire Jspan-se fleet has sailed

ple of Alsace has been issued by the
French commander. Gen. Joffre.
"After forty-four years of sorrowful
waiting. French soldiers once more tread
the soil of our noble country. They are
pioneers In a great work of revenge. For
them what emotion It calls forth and
what pride to complete the work which
they have begun at the sacrifice of their
lives!

bitterly criticised by Senator William Al
den Smith, of Michigan, and other Re
publicans, hsa been transmitted by tha

The European war situation caused the
House Committee on Agriculture to hold
a special hearing on the Lever bill to
Lc&tablish uniform gradea and classifica
tions for cotton, under the supervision
of the Federal government. C. J. Brand,
chief of the office of markets of the De
partment of Agriculture, told the com
mittee that the passsge of the bill was
necessary to establish a basis of credit
on cotton during the present unfavorable
situation.
Col. E. J. Watson, commission of
agriculture and Industries of South Caro
lina and president of the Southern Cotton
Congress, said that both cotton producers
and buyera are In favor of legislation.
Among the cotton men present at the
hearing were W. G. Turner. James F.
Hunter, snd William E. Love, of Mem
phis, Tenn.: J. W. Cutber. of Clarksdale.
Miss., and E. R. Oliver, of Louisville, Ky.
The conference on tho Federal- trade
commission oill will begin today.-according
to Senator Newlands. The conferees
have a big task before them, for the
Senate materially amended the bill as
passed by the House. The main contest
probably will be over the fifth section
placed In the bill by the Senate and pro
viding that unfair competition shall be
unlawful. The conferees hope to con
clude their work by August 17.
Senator Hoke Smith and Senator Owen,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency, had a conference
yesterday with Secretary McAdoo to
urge upon him steps looking to financing
the cotton crop of the South. The Sec
retary agreed to ask Attorney General
McReynoIds for an opinion as to whether
the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency cur
rency act would permit the issue of
emergency circulation against warehouse
receipts for cotton stored as collateral.
Unless the Attorney General finds a
power In the act to enable the Secretary
to treat these warehouse receipts as
"commercial paper," It la held to be
doubtful It the Smith-Owen plan can be
put Into practice.
