PROHIBITION IS FAVORED
Convention Goes on Kecord as Being
Opposed to Use of Public Moneys
as Aidj to Maintenance
of Parochial Schools..
MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. May -23. The
divorce question was the subject of
sharp debate at today's session of the
Northern Baptist convention, but final
ly was disposed of by the adoption of a
resolution disapproving the action of
ministers -who officiate at the marriage
of divorced persons.
The convention, which completed its
business and adjourned tonight, also
adopted resolutions favoring a perma
nent peace programme, freedom of the
press, and recognizing the right of
labor to organize and demand fair
treatment both in wages and working
conditions. Congress was petitioned in
another resolution to pass a liquor pro
hibition amendment.
It was only after several proposed
amendments had been voted down and
one accepted that the divorce resolu
tion was adopted.
"I don't believe this convention
Fhould dictate to the ministers." said
John A. Earle. president of Des Moine3
College, of Des Moines. Ia. "There are
many just causes for divorce. I will
tell this convention that if my daughter
should marry a drunkard I would help
her get a divorce, and drunkenness is
riot recognized by the scriptures as a
Just cause. Such a resolution is not
according to Baptist democracy."
"Someone here has quoted the phrase,
'What God hath joined together,' said
Xlev. V. R. Margetts, of Spokane. Wash.
"I want to say tfcat I believe God has
nothing to do with a large percentage
of marriages, especially those that lead
to the divorce court. God is not a
party to marriages for title, nor mar
riages for money. We are beginning at
the wrong place to correct this evil.
We should work for stricter marriage
laws and more thought by marrying
couples."
Congress was petitioned to pass an
amendment prohibiting the appropria
tion of "public moneys by the Federal,
state or minor governmental units to
any church, institution, school, society
or undertaking wholly or in part in
sectarian or ecclesiastical control."
Another resolution read: "We reaf
firm our traditional doctrine of the
reparation of the church and state as
the guarantee of religious liberty; that
we desire this religious liberty for all
men as well as ourselves; that we view
with grave concern the disposition of
the Roman Catholic Church to tax us
through the state with the support of
its institutions; that we especially op
pose being compelled as taxpayers to
pay for the mafntenance of parochial
schools, which are and should remain
purely private institutions."
CITY MISSIONS ARE DISCUSSED
Baptist Conference Is Visited by II.
W. Stone, of Portland.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. May 19.
(Special.) City and foreign missions
have received notable attention of the
Baptist conference here.
"Every other American lives in the
city," declared C. It Seares. superinten
dent of city missions in New York city,
where 1,000,000 persons have never seen
Christian in America. In one single
daily vocation Bible school he gathered
1000 children from 23 different nation
alities. In this center of seething
polyglot peoples stands the great Jud
son Memorial Institutional Church
which commemorates the great name
of - Adoniram Judson, America's first
and greatest missionary.
"The founder of modern missions was
William Carey, a Baptist cobbler, who
became distinguished as one of Eng
land's greatest men of India and re
ceived governmental honors for his
services. America's greatest mission
ary. Adoniram Judson, was also a
Baptist. It was not strange, therefore
that these annual conventions should
center in work in non-Christian lands.
"Men and women who have spent
years In foreign service thrill the great
audiences with records of achievements
abroad. Men who wear gold medals
and crosses conferred by England
Japan, China and other nations for dis
tinguished service to these countries
are guests of this convention. These
folks establish school systems, create
languages, build hospitals and make
new nations as truly as other men have
bunded states. They speak with au
thority because they know, and a trib
ute to their worthiness is the recogni
tion of and use by foreign governments.
"Dr. J. I. Dearing, of Japan, author
and widely-known educator, referring
to the attitude of Japan to the United
States, declared that at one time the
current thought and literature was
openly hostile and influenced by sup
posed anti-Japanese legislation in the
United States. After the visit of Dean
Shailer Matthews as president of the
'ederal council of the churches of
Christ in America, representing 16,000.
o Protestant Christians, who went to
Japan to express th'e 'good will of
American Christians, all this hostility
disappeared from the press, and today
Japan openly expresses a desire to
honor the United States.
"Japan will forever be at peace with
the United States if the United States
will allow her." said Dr. Dearing.
The event that adds greatest zest to
the delegates, perhaps. Is the college
and seminary reunions and banquets.
At these cares are thrown to the winds,
end all are young again.
H. W. Stone, of Portland, was an
interested delegates the other clay' en
route from the Y. M. C. A. convention

Losl of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, which is serious.
It . common in the Spring because
at this time the b.cod is impure and
impoverished -and fails to give the di
gestive organs what is absolutely nec
essary for the proper performance of
their functions.
Hood's Sarsaparilla. the old reliable
all-the-year-round medicine.', is espe
cially useful in the Spring. Get it from
your druggist today. By purifying and
enriching the blood and giving vitality.
Vigor and tone, it is wonderfully suc
cessful in the treatm'nt of loss of appe
tite and the other ailments prevalent
at this time. It is not simply a spring
medicine it is much more than that
but it is thi best Spring medicine.
Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the rich
red-blood the digestive organs need.

NEW YORK. May 2. The 13th bien
nial convention of the General Feder
ation of Women's Clubs of America
opened here today with 3000 delegates
and alternates present, besides approxi
mately 10,000 visitors, including the
husbands of about 1000 delegates. The
first general session of the convention
will be held tomorrow night and by
that time it is expected another 1000
delegates and alternates will have ar
rived. Preparations have been made to en
tertain more delegates than have ar
rived. A list of "don'ts" sent to wo
men's clubs throughout the country,
warning delegates against possible
perils that might beset hem in the
metropolis, was cited today by some
members of the local arrangements
committee as a factor in keeping down
the attendance.
Long Mat of "Don't" Given.
The "don'ts" suggested by the New
York Biennial Board were:
"Don't select a hotel or. place to board
without advice.
"Don't call In, physician without ad
vice.
"Don't go to any strange place alone
without consulting our information
bureau.
"Don't go Into . a house if you are
suddenly taken ill on the street. Look
for a drug store.
"Don't engage a taxicab or other con
veyance except at authorized stations,
and avoid riding alone at night if pos
sible. "Don't let your sympathy be Influ
enced by anyone in apparent distress.
If you must help, first call a police
man. "Don't accompany a stranger on any
pretext, however plausible, for many of
the most vicious are apparently re
spectable. "Don't carry all your money In one
place, and avoid displaying it in pub
lic. "Don't forget to lock up money and
jewelry when absent from your room."
MiH Wilson la Gneat.
The convention officially opened this
morning. The board meeting tomorrow
night will be held at the Seventh Regi
ment Armory, with Miss Margaret Wil
son, daughter of the President,- as a
guest of honor.
Today was "New Jersey day" and Im
mediately after the business meetings
the board members, headed by Mrs.
Percy V. Pennybacker, the president,
and Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, ac
companied by more than 600 delegates,
left in special trains for Orange. N. J..
to attend a reception given by Thomas
A. Kdison And Mrs. Edison, one of the
leading clubwomen of her state.
The Edison home could not accom
modate the throng and many of the
visitors stood outside in the rain, wait
ing to be presented. After the recep
tion, the inventor delivered a brief ad
dress on suffrage and preparedness.
When he had finished the guests sang
"The Star-Spangled Banner."
It was officially announced tonight
that delegations are here from 48
states.
The campaign for the presidency Is
being vigorously waged by the sup
porters of Mrs. Samuel B. Sneath, of
Tiffim O.. and Mrs. Josiah Evans
Cowles, of Los Angeles, Cal.
ev Candldatca Appear.
Interest in the presidential election
deepened tonight, when some of the
200 delegates from Illinois dclared they
will be prepared to introduce a new
candidate. They announced Mrs. John
D. bherman, of Chicago, as their favor
ite. She was recording secretary of
tne leaeration eight years ago.
The Maryland delegates brought
with them a "boom" for Mrs. B. W.
Corkran, Jr., of Baltimore, formerly
president of the Maryland federatio
Mrs. John Hays Hammond will give
a luncheon to state presidents to
morrow, to which Mrs. Sneath has been
invited.

playing much interest in the conven
tion. More than 1500 have applied for
tickets during the last two days. They
will be permitted to occupy seats In
the visitors' gallery.
Most of the 1000 or more husbands
who accompanied delegates will attend
the sessions of the convention. About
200 of them have formed a "Lonely

City.
Retreating "Army Ia Reorganizing
Witli Heavy Reinforcements In
Effort to Clieok Advance of
Enemy on Own Ground.
PARIS. May 23. The French military
expects agree that the Italians have
fallen back before the first shock of the
Austrian offensive, but say they now
are reforming their lines with heavy
reinforcements.
The operations in the center are In
the area about 20 miles square east and
northeast of Lake Garda, where the
Italians had made their first drive
toward Trent. They were strongly
posted at Rovereto. less than 20 miles
from Trenti but. withdrew southward
under the heavy Austrian pressure
until their lines are now about 10 miles
south of Rovereto.
The Austrlans occupy elevated posi
tions on Santo Hill, where the Italians
face them hfrom Pasubio Hill. Dante's
castle is in this neighborhood. Dante
has described this region In his "In
ferno" as seamed with gorges cleft by
an avalanche.
Some IS miles farther east the Aus
trlans made another advance, the Ital
ians retiring south of the line between
Maggio and Monte Ponezza. The Italian
advance has been on Austrian soil, but
the Austrian offensive has now pushed
the line back toward the frontier until
part of the new line runs along the
border.
The Austrian objective is said to be
toward Vicenza, with the purpose of
separating the Italians operating
against Trlest from those engaged in
the campaign against Trent.
GERMANY'S RATIONS SHORT
(Continued From First Pace.)
on Germans to show that they are will
Jng to make the necessary sacrifices.
That the federal states' surrender of
their constitutional rights as a prelim
inary to the creation of the food dic
tatorship did not come without opposi
tion is indicated by a dispatch from
Stuttgart, where one branch of the City
Council protested sharply against at
tempts to introduce uniform food dis
tribution throughout the empire "at
the expense of the South of Germany,"
as the proposer of the resolution of
protest phrased It.
Chief Burgomaster Lautenschlager
sai dat the session of the Council that
North Germany appeared to have an
idea that South Germany was jammed
full of provisions, which idea was -absolutely
incorrect.

ARSIERO IS BEING RKDUCKI
Austrian Are Following Up Advan
tage of Victory.
AUSTRO-HrNGARIAN PRESS HEAD
QUARTERS. May 22. via Berlin. May
22, and London, May 23. Austrian
trooiis continue to reduce the outer
girdle of forts protecting Arsiero. The
army of the Austrian Crown Prince is
following up the advantage gained Fri
day, when the first breach was made
in the line to the northwest of the fort
and which enabled the Austr'ans to at
tack some of the outer positions east
ward of the place from both the front
and rear.
The commanding hills of Tonnezza,
Parso Delia Vena and Monte Melignone
fell in rapid succession, bringing the
Austro-Hungarians in possession of the
entire line from Forni, on the River
Astico, westward to the frontier.
Further advances have been made by
the Austrians toward the line of hills
north of the Val di Ilaghl, on the high
est of which one of the chief forts of
Arsiero is located. Other important
works protecting Arsiero, now threat
ened, are on Monte Tormino and Monte
Cremone.
Both wings of the Crown Prince's
army also have been going steadily
ahead. The right, or west wing, has
been going frward from the northern
slope of the Col Santo ridge. It stormed
Col Santo itself and already is proceed
ing against Monte Pasubio.
The left wing stormed Saso Alto, the
commanding hill of the Armentara
rid'-;e, thus depriving the Italians of
their last supporting position on the
ridge and enabling the Austro-Hun
garians to advance Into the Sugana
Valley and take Roncegno.
The guns captured include 15 28-
centimeter howitzers.
The Austro-Hungarians are battling
against many disadvantages in the
rough Alpine territory against strongly
fortified positions. The correspondents
here declare the artillery of the Austro-
Hungarians has exhibited a marked
superiority over that of the Italians.
Aviators have contributed greatly to
the result of the battles by a success
ful bombing of Italian railroads and
other communications.
The territory where the fighting is
now proceeding was voluntarily left in
the hands of the Italians at the be
ginning of the war. army officers say,
because the frontier was unfavorable,
geogrpahically, for defense and the
Italians were strongly entrenchyT
