SELFISH LEAGUE SCORED Brown University Head Declares Capital and L-abor .Must End , Hatred to Prevent Unrest. DENVER. Colo., May 21. Unanimous action condemning President Wilson for his I ecommendation to congress of the repeal o wartime prohibition was taken late today by the Northern Bap tist convention in session here. On motion from the convention floor the conventfon voted to prepare reso lutions "in strong: and vigorous terms, and at the same time dignified," ex jrssing the convention's disapproval of the president's stand. The resolution will bed rawn up by a committee, of which E. L. Tustin, former" member of the Pennsylvania legislature, is chairman. Grant M. Hud son. Michigan's Anti-Saloon leasue worker, and C. M. Hill, president of Berkeley seminary, California, are other members. Resolutions also were adopted ex tending greetings to the Presbyterian assembly meeting at St. Louis. Sririah League Denounced. Declaring nationalism, which sought to bring prosperity to one nation at the expense of others, is a Germanic docu ment, and that no lague o nations com posed of purely selfish nations can en dure. "VV. H. P. Faunce, president of Brown university, this afternoon told the convention that he was earnestly in favor of a league of nations which should be backed by the good will of all member nations. None other could be permanent, he said. Dr. Faunce's address on "The Church and Social Reconstruction," sounded the keynote of convention work. Settle ment of the labor problem by mutual understandings and cooperation was urged. "Labor that degrades and stunts the personality cannot be tolerated in a Christian land," he said. "Toll that un dermines health, that permanently saps nervous energy; toil that Is aimless and hopeless because it sees no outcome; toil that has no share In the process and no share in the results that is anti-Christian toil and must not be al lowed in a Christian land." Mutual llelatlen Upheld. Speaking of the present social and Industrial unrest, he said: "On the whole I would prefer the tyranny of a single autocrat to the tyranny of the hydra-headed mob. Class rule is always blind and hteful. Christianity knows no class and will submit to none. Democracy is clumsy but Christian autocracy is smooth run ning but sure in the end to run upon the rocks. "Christianity cannot recognize indus trial war as the future basis of society. The laboring man who regards all em ployers as his natural foes is blind to the facts as they are, -Is a poor helper in any enterprise and is not fitted to function in a Christian Bociety. The employers who regards all laboring men with suspicion and fear Is not fitted to function in a Christian society and is a menace to the state." Financial Budget Seta Itfcerd1. At tonight's session the convention had before it the report of the survey board which has been estimating the needs of all departments of church ac tivity for the next five years. A gigan tic sum of $49,864,883 will be needed, the report says, for work in the home and foreign missionary fields, educa tion, literature and social reconstruc tion. It is the biggest financial budget ever put before a Baptist convention. Victory Campaign Suceesn Success of the victory campaign of the laymen's committee of the conven tion to raise 16,000,000 for church finances was announced tonight. The total has reached $5,450,000 officially and members ol the committee an nounced the remaining $560,000 was in sibht. The victory campaign was Inaugurat ed with a view to meeting unusual financial conditions caused by the War by combining the needs of all depart ments of church work in one gigantic financial campaign. The proposal to bring business efficiency into the church by creation -of a general planning board to prepare and pass on budgets to cover the yearly expenses of every department of church work ia - expected to come before the convention tomorrow. An organization wil be created fod raising funds for every branch of the church work so that each department will not have to work, out ' Its own financial program. "The church is face to face with one of the most trying periods in the his tory of Christianity," declared F. W. Ayer of Philadelphia, president, in opening the convention. "As a result of the war," he contin ued. "America has become av world power and is expected to have a voice in the shaping of world policies as never before. The programme of the church must match the policy of the nation if the church is to continue to be a world force." Mr. Ayer outlined some of the plans already formulated by the church for the post-war period and praised the work of the laymen of the church dur ing the war. India to Cet Hospital Unit. Following his address several re ports covering the routine activities of various societies and branches of the convention were read and adopted by the convention. Chief among these was that of the publication society, with an outline of its five-year pro gramme. Under this report 200 new workers and $2,000,000 to enlarge the work of the Bible distribution and the religious education branches are pro vided for. The report of ' the women's foreign society pointed out that in the near fu ture the Baptist women of the country were to form and send to South India a hospital unit. A Red Cross nurse who served on the battlefields of France will be the first one to go, having secured passage for next month. The home department reported that nearly every state in the union showed large increases in giving over last year. STUDENTS TAKE UP DRAMA Senior Girls of Polytechnic School to Present Play.

BY COLIN V. DYMENT, American Red Crora Searcher wlttth 91l j Division. FORTV-FOIKTH ARTICLE. About 250 91st men were killed or fatally injured in the five-day drive for the city of Audenarde, and -about 950 wounded, and the 1200 casualties, many of which by good fortune were slight, more than half were sustained on October 31, the first day. The country between the Waereghem Steenbrugge road and Audenarde, eight miles, was a country of small Belgian farms, but each man livedoii his lann and had a set of farm buildings, un like the custom in Francf, where the farmers all lived in villages and went out with their teams to the farms. These Belgian farms were generally 10 to 20 acres in size, and so the region through which the 91st had to fight was one of thick population, with numerous villages, in addition to the innumerable farms. Buildings are hard things to fight among. They provide admirable cover. Snipers can go into the garrets, cut holes through the roofs and get fine observation and distance: machine guns can shoot from the parlor windows or from behind the hedge around the front yard; light artillery can sit behind the barn or the haystack until the advanc ing enemy is only a few hundred yards away: quite large groups can keep un der cover in one set of farm buildings. The Germans utilized these advan tages quite fully, which is why the Slst had 150 men dead before night of the opening day. Also several thousand re placement troops were in battle for the first time and did not yet have the art of saving themselves. Coming up on the previous night, some of the troobs were shelled. The 3d battalion of the 364th infantry had left Emelghem early October 30, and marched six miles to a chateau near Wielsbeke, on the Lys river, where, for the first time so near the front line, the band played. The 364th was large ly a California outfit and two of the tunes that were played were "I Love You, California," and "I'm Going Back to California." At 7 P. M. the bat talion moved on toward Waereghem with company M in the lead and L right behind. Spy Aid to Han Indicated. The battalion marched two hours under some shelling, the men donning their gas masks at times. As orders had been changed for the area, the col umn had to be halted from time to time to permit road reoonnaissance. At 9:30 the battalion again halted near Evan gellbloom till the road could be scouted : it was now two miles and a half from the front line. There is some evidence that a spy signalled to Frits that troops were passing the crossroads; anyway a shell fell, at the tail of M and the head of L, squarely In the column. The column moved up, turned to the right and halted again for the road work. and a second shell fell squarely Into it at the tail of M and the head of L. Forty-six men were killed or wounded by these two shells, ten being dead or mortally hurt. vv estern men among the ten were Private Basil A. Irsch, route Z. box 20,- Jatayton. Or.; Corporal Walker C. Hough, Fort Steila coom. Wash.; Corporal George O. Perkins, San Pedro, Cal.; Corporal Leslie L. Robinson, Shatter, Cal.; Private Charles W. Schinck. Ventura, Cal.: Private Frank Burrell. Mant Maria. Cal.; Corporal Henry A. Steele of 1018 Natoma street. San Francisco, and Privates Wesley N. Lambert and Wesley G. Nabors. both of Riverside. 1. The tenth man was Private Lewis W. Hopper of Dexter, Mo. About 6 A. M. on the Slst the allied artillery began. Those who had fought through the Argonne were reminded of that great preparation of the night of the 26th of September. There was more reply, proportionate ly, than on the first night of the Ar gonne, however. Back of Audenarde. over the Scheldt, is a long, high bluff. the easterly "breaks" of the Scheldt. and from this Frits replied, so that the joint bombardment was both an artil lery preparation and an artillery duel. Five-thirty arrived; ever the units went. ' Left Wing Proneu Blew. On the left wing of the 91st progress was alow at first. The houses were thick and the resistance was very de termined. It was the resistance of 1911 rather than 1918. The front waves rapidly had to seek any old shelte shellholes, ditches, hedges, buildings and banks. The right wing moved far ther forward before it ran into a line of German resistance of the eame kind that was held up. In the center of the sector, in a sense, between the two wings, was a scrub woods spread over low hills of gentle grades. This was the Spltaals Bosschen, and It was full of Huns. The 384th was to mop it up after the others had flanked it. A few of the forenoon deaths will now be described, especially of north west men, without any attempt to keep them in chronological order Irom 6 o'clock on. It was about 7 A. M. when Captain Leonard A. Wattelet of company A, 364th. was killed. Captain Wattelet was the former owner of the Victoria baseball team, but when he went into the army was Seattle representative for the Dodge car. He had been shocked In the Argonne by a shell that fell awfully close, and had had to go through the hdspttals, where he could and perhaps should still have been but for his eagerness to get back to com pany A. The night of the 80th the cap tain spent in a dugout with Lieutenant J. D. Fletcher of Salem. Or., also of company A. The captain's mind was wholly on duty and he talked only army things, though he did make the re mark as the shells fell around: "If ever get back to Seattle and get a seat in that old Dodge car. I'll never get out of it." Wattelet was a splendid captain. "He was one of the finest ten tlemen in the division, and he had the love and respect of every man in the conrainv." said Lieutenant Fletcher. On his way back from the Argonne through the hospitals Fleury-sur-Aire to Vittel to Bordeaux the captain was nervous and jumpy from the concus sion. He told his fellow travelers that he wanted to return to the front, how ever, and would put It over If he could meaning that he would get away from the doctors if possible. At Bordeaux he said: "Well, I've got the guts and I'm going to go." Ho was still jumpy the night preced lng his death. He took the braid from hia outer coat lest it mark him to some sniper as an officer. At 7 A. M. com pany A was in support, about 500 yards f rnm i q Snlto.l. PncKsn A hnva I shell, perhaps as large as 210 milli meters, struck him and killed also three others. The captain's body, cut off at the waist. nt down into the hole made by the shell and seemed to be sitting up. Hrave Officer Falls. Lieut. Fletcher of A, being gassed. went to the rear, and with captain and first lieutenant both gone, liaison with A was lost. First battalion P. C. half mile back, sent runners without re sult, so Lieut. lioward H. Van Vorls, first battalion intelligence officer, of 505 Xorth N street, Tacoma, offered to go. He Went on up to company C ai.d talked with Cantain Thornton C. Chase of Los Angeles, pointing to a wooded hill across a small gully, to which Captain Chase advised him not to go. as the hill had not been cleaned out yet. The lieutenant, however, went across anyway, taking the lead of his patrol. As he passed through the front lines, lying in cover, he was again told the hill had not been occupied bv American troop?, but the brave Taco- roan, presumably desiring not merely t find company A but to ascertain in what strength Frits held the hill, en tered the woods. A burst of machine gun fire met the patrol and all dropped. They lay a couple of minutes, then Van Voris said, "Come on, men," and stood up. A second burst killed htm and the patrol retired. This was three-quarters of a mile southeast of Waereghem, at the edge of the Spltaals Bosschen. A third northwest officer whose mind was till the end on his duty was killed on this morning: Lieutenant Albert M. Closterman of 468 East Sherman street, Portland, who on the 31st was in com mand of company C. 362d infantry. He had started forward with Acting First Sergeant Arnold B. Pratt, Sergeant George Tyson of Phillips, Wyo., Private Franklin Lester of 33 South Eighth street west. Salt Lake, Private Carl E. Caldwell of Fairfield. III., Private Earl Baker, and three others. They were en route to take up their position for the 5:30 jumpoff. The nine strung out In single rile to lessen the danger from German shells. The lieutenant was leading, followed by Sergeant Pratt. They had advanced about 450 yards when a shell broke just to the" left front, perhaps six feet away, fatally wounding the lieutenant, wounding Sergeant Pratt severely and wounding one other man slightly. Sergeant Tyson came up and took the lieutenant's pack off, and asked "Where are we going, lieutenant?" He replied, "To the first platoon post of command." The ser geant said. "Where Is it?" He said, "The runners will take you there, and the zero hour Is 6:30." Sergeant Tyson then went forward with this informa tion and when he came back half an hour later the lieutenant was dead. Eight others are buried beside him. The drive for Audenards, with Its casualties, will be further described to morrow, and the 91st serial will end next Sunday, with the conclusion of the fighting in Belgium.
