BAPTISTS PLAN TO
CONSOLIDATE TWO
BIG DEPARTMENTS
j NEW ORLEANS, La., May 14.—Prop-
> ositions for consolidation of the mis
sionary and Sunday school boards and!
for the establishment of a missionary
!training school here will come before:
the Southern Baptist convention here
May 16 to 22. The Woman’s Mission
ary union of the church also will held
sessions here May 177 and 18. About
5,000 laymen and ministers of the
church from every state in the South
are expected to attend.
The question of consolidating the
heme and foreign mission boards anti
the Sunday school board, so as to avoid 1
duplication of work and in the inter
ests of closer co-operation in those ;
folds, has been one of the important
subjects before the Southern Baptist 1
conventions for several years. At ths
convention in Asheville last year a
special committee was appointed to re
port a plan for consolidating the work
of these boards and this committee will
pt esent the plan devised to the con
vention here.
Among the new projects oroposea is
the establishment in New Orleans of a
Southern Baptist training school for
home and foreign missionaries. There
also will be presented a plan to raise
§25,000 a year for 25 years to conduct
a great Baptist evangelistic and mis
sionary campaign in New Orleans.
Those fostering the plan will sug
gest that New Orleans be used as a
field of practical work where the stu
dents in the training school may get
experience. Part of the funds, it is
planned, will be used to buy land and
houses for the missionary workers, to
pay salaries and assist the workers
in the training school. But the scheme
also includes an aggressive campaign
to increase the membership of the
church in this city and to establish
more churches, missions and Sunday
schools.
Enlargement of the missionary and
publication work of the church and
plans for continuing the work begun
last year of raising one million dollars
for a building and loan fund to assist
churches in the South, also will be dis
cussed.
The first day’s sessions will be de
voted to presentation of reports of
the various boards, departments and
committees and consideration of these
reports. The convention sermon will
be delivered the evening of May 15 by
Rev. C. W. Duke, of Tampa, Fla.
The second day will be given over to
foreign missions and discussion of the
scheme for establishing a training
school and starting a campaign for
the church in this city. A foreign mis
sionary mass meeting has been ar
ranged for the night of May 17. Home
missions will occupy May 18.
On Sunday the visiting Baptist min
isters will occupy pulpits of various
dt nominations and in the afternoon
there will be two mass meetings to be
addressed by Rev. Len G. Broughton,
cf Knoxville, and Rev. Dr. George W.
Truett, of Dallas. Monday and Tues
day will be devoted to finishing up the
business affairs of the convention.

GERMAN OFFICERS SUFFERING
PANGS OF EXTREME HUNGER
GENEVA, Switzerland, May 14.
Swiss officers on leave who have just
returned here after nine months ser
vice on the Swiss-Alsace frontier say
that even the German officers in Alsace
and are suffering from hun
ger and when they arrive at the Swiss
outpost villages are now glad to ob
t; in a good meal, paying any price.
Until a few months ago the German
officers, unlike the men on the frontier
I who are always hungry, pretended
they had plenty of food but their pale
; faces belied the statement. Now they
admit that decent food is lacking and
their Swiss officer comrades, though
neutral ,are doing their best for the
Germans, despite Swiss military regu
ation which prohibit any intercourse.
If this is the Case with officers, the
condition of the German soldier may
be imagined on the frontier where the
kindly Swiss are sharing their rations.
One German deserter said:
“My whole company would desert
and enter Switzerland, but we are told
by our officers that we would be re
turned to Germany and then shot.’’

No Bread-Lines Ahead
WAR is bad business, but don’t you ever make the
mistake of thinking that war means bad business.
Mars has lately become the foremost employer
of labor and the leading customer of commerce.
It takes a dozen farmers, mechanics, trainmen, butchers,
bakers, tailors and shoemakers to maintain a soldier.
We can’t put a million men under arms without putting
at lea& twelve million other men under the eight hour
clock.
We must build cruisers, ca& cannon, produce rifles, tin
meat, raise food, weave khaki, pack surgical kits, cobble
footwear, construct motor cars, extend transportation,man
ufacture uniforms, knit socks, eredt forts, roll armor plate,
draw wire, mine metal and fuel, mix explosives, process
chemicals, provide spades, picks and tractors, furnish am
munition, airships, electrical equipment in such quantities
that existing capacities will stagger under the sudden
burden.
Every trade and every branch of trade, from Bangor to
Bellingham and from cannery to foundry, will soon be
mobilized for the colossal task of transforming an indus
trial giant into a Titan warrior.
Withing a few months we mutf accomplish what Ger
many required thirty years to do.
Think of it! More than a quarter of a century of prep
aration to be crowded into less than a year!
Factories must work day and night shifts, railroads will
operate extra trains, produce will ride to port from every
arable acre on the Continent.
We have become the armory and the bread box of our
Allies, and we have called a ho& to the colors whose needs
alone will total billions of dollars in food and raiment and
weapons.
The hugest sum of money that every poured from this
country’s Treasury is about to flood the United States.
There will be work for everybody, and everybody must
work. The heaviest responsibility of the greatest war in
history is now on our hands.
We muSt not only support the cause we have espoused,
but also support our confederates with thpir necessites.
Get busy and keep busy. Hire new help, enlarge your
plant, order machinery at once.
Hesitation, delay and pessimism serve our enemies.
This is no time to retrench or hoard. This is no mo
ment to reduce operations.
The Government isn’t counting expense, but minutes,
and its plans will be hampered by every doubter and cow
ard and penny-pincher.
Consumption will not diminish. Uncle Sam is in the
market for more goods than the members of the new army
and navy individually purchased and their sons and daugh
ters and wives will soon be holding down their old jobs and
collecting their men’s wages, which will in turn be spent at
the grocer’s, the department store and the druggist’s.
Patriotism is flooding Washington with ready cash and
Washington is shipping it in carload lots to the manufac
turer and retailer. There are no bread-lines ah sad. An
unprecedented era of prosperity is around the bend.
However sad the price, the business outlook was never
better.
We believe you will
be interested in the
above. Read it and tell Sis;* £ <r A
your friends to read it.
Let’s do all we can to
help each other and the
government.

CHARLESTON, S. C., May 14.
When Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood took
I charge of the department of the south
east here yesterday, he immediately
announced the selection of Atlanta, Ga.,
as the main concentrating camp for
the states in his district, the opening
cf an additional training school for
I officers at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s
1 Island, near here, and the establish
-1 ment of probably twelve additional
camps for the training of conscripted
soldiers and young men of military
age.
Points where at least three of the
additional training camps are to be
established are Columbia, S. C., Macon,
Ga. and Montgomery, Ala.
To Make Tour of South.
Gen. Wood will remain in Charles
ton until Thursday to thoroughly or
ganize his department when he will 1
leave for a tour of the South to awaken
the people to the real situation and
look over the sites for training camps
with a view of having work begin im
mediately.
“Men, munitions and food crops—
these are the three absolute essen- j
tiais,” he said, “and my mission is to 1
bring the South the fullest co-opera
tion with the government that these
may be at their maximum. The mes
sage to the business, world is that busi- j
ness will be bigger and better than j
ever before. The message to the young I
men is that their country needs them,!
right now, not when the battle may be |
half lost. The itlessage to the man
behind the plow is that in him rests
the strength of the nation.”
War to Ln«t Two Years.
Gen. AVood expects the European war
to last at least two years longer, prob
ably three, and he expects the allies
to be successful only when they have
expended every ounce of energy on the
battlefield. He expects the war to
be a long and bitter one with the
greatest fighting yet to be done. He
expects to have men constantly in
training to take the places of vacan
cies that occur in the line or file.
