The first of a series of Sunday night sermons by Rev. Dr. John Jeter Hurt, pastor of the First Baptist church, on the general theme of "Stars That Shine in the Darkest Night" was delivered I last evening before a congregation that taxed the capacity of the church. The theme for the first sermon was "The Stars' and Stripes Forever. "I make no apology," said Dr. Hurt in introducing the series, "for dedicat ing these Sunday night services to an admixture of patriotism with piety. One who is wiser than I has said that 'po litical and religious thought are so re lated organically that each is but a form of the other. Political thought is but the religious idea applied to the state and the conduct of Its public af fairs, while religious thought is but our view of the polity of the universe, and a man's relation to it. It follows that as a man thinks in one field, he comes to think In another.' If religiou Is the basis of the state, then religion must determine its growth, and the purposes for which It exists. Where State and Ohurch -Most Meet. "Our theory of the separation of church entity from that of the state has drifted all too easily into separat ing the church's Interests from those of the state. If our religion does not mix wfth and determine our politics, we may be sure that politics will ignore and block the progress of our religion. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation only when applied to the naked conditions of every day life. This will not be a safe world to live in un til it is a saved world to live in. "We have had too much pacifism In the pulpit. This iact has emboldened Germany to declare far and wide that the churches of America are not stand ing by the American government in o7Tr war. Pacifism is good in its time but it is not good all the time. We face ex traordinary conditions and must adjust ourselves quickly; or else make up our minds to be good Germans. Civilization's Sun Eclipsed. "There is no use blinking at the fact "civilization's sun has gone into eclipse. It will take all Christianity's men and God besides to push the clouds away. Men had been congratulating themselves that night life had gon from among the nations, when sudden ly mid-day turned to darkness." Dr. Hurt made a. scathing indictment "of the German theory of government, of their theology "and brutish concep tion of the rights of mankind, of their disregard of all things that humanity holds dear honor-among men and vir tue among women, the rights of the weak to the protection of the strong. The world, writhing in the slime of the holocaust that the German nation has brought upon the world "cries out what does It all mean? when will it end? why is it all allowed? and there is no answer but the echo of their-wailing cries." "The night is dark, pitch dark, but there are stars that shine in the world's black, night. My theme, 'The Stars ana Stripes Forever, is my special theme for tonight. Is it a sin to love that flag more than all others? Every star that nestlesin the background of blue Is heaven's beacon light to the poor and oppressed nations of the world. ' Each star has its own story to tell of early struggles, of hardships innumerable, of governmental experiments, of battles with the ignorant and ambitious ana or final triumph on the way up. All these have together, a galaxy fit to cheer the souls of true men and strike terror to the souls of men untrue have plunged Into the night, and therein Is hope. The Flag of Hope and Justice. "It is the emblem of hope for th weak. Those against whom we con tend today do not believe In it. The miserable men and women of Belgium, of Servia and of Poland lift feeble hands' today to bless the flag of your country and mine, while anathemas are hurled against the standards of might that bore them down. "Our flag as the guarantor of equal opportunity to all, it Is the flag of no one party, no one social strata, no In tolerant religious sects, it is the flag thaft proclaims two worlds, instead of one." WARNIJiG OP OIL FAMINE LTNLESS E3EBARGO IS LIFTED "Washington, Jan. 27. The publio roust expect a radical curtailment of public utilities, munitions factories and all industrial activities dependent upon oil shipments unless immediate relief can be had from the embargoes the railroads have placed against the move ment of tank cars, both loaded and empty, according to statement issued tonight by the petroleum war service committee. The petroleum industry !haa made an urgent appeal to the di rector -general of railways to order the railroads at the earliest possible mo ment to give preferred movement to tank cars. . GERMANY'S BID TO BORDER RUSSIANS (Continued From Page One) the Bolshevik against the legal assem bly, announced with so much pomp. The main fact in that case was that two cruisers anchored in front of the Tau ride palace and turned their guns on its windows. As this argument was not convincing enough the delegates were chased out with bayonets." ? Dr. Von Kuehlmann said that conver sations with Poland had been carried on by Germany and Austria for months with zeal, but were not yet ripe for communication. "The Great Free German State." "What Count Czernin said of Poland," he continued, "we can say of the other ; border people who will form the ob ject of our discussion. We have pre , - cisely the same confidence in the at tractive force of the great free Ger man state for these peoples and Gter man policy never will resort to petty police pressure or any similar methoes, which in the long run would only havw the contrary effect." " Regarding' "German' Fidelity. Regarding Turkey and Bulgaria, he said: . "These people at an hour of weighty import trusting Germany's star, Joined our side and they shall never get the Impression from the peace negotiations that the German word is not binding on every German to the end." The statements of the Bolshevik, he remarked, "show that these gentlemen are indulging In another policy than that, of concluding en open and honor able peace wltji the' bourgeois govern ments of the central powers which are hated like poison." t Secretary concluded by declaring that the German government earnestly de sired a wise and honorable peace. FARMER ACQUITTED ; WHISKEY RETURNED Judge Whedbee Says so Far as State Law Is Concerned4 Man can Bring Whiskey In. (Special Star Correspondence.) Goldsboro, N. C, ran. 27. Geo. C Hopewell, a prominent young farmer of Wayne county, who was tried, in su perior court the latter part of last' week upon a charge of having too much whiskey in his possession, wis acquitted by a jury, and 24 quarts of whiskey, which had been seized from Mr. Hopewell by Sheriff R. H. Edwards, was ordered returned to the defendant by Judge Whedbee. Before the case was given to the jury Judge Whedbee ..instructed the former that while the laws of North Carolina held that when a person of suspicious character was found in pos sessio nof a large quantity of whiskey, it is prima facia evidence of his guilt as a violator of the prohibition law but it was no violation of the State law for a person oi good moral char acter, with no suspicion of dealing for gain, to purchase in another state anI bring into this state, whiskey for his own personal use, but this does not j apply to any purchase of whiskey with in the limits of the state. Judge Whedbee also stated that he was not interpreting the Federal law, but only the state law, and in ordering the whiskey returned to Mr. Hopewell stated that the Federal authorities could seize it and arrest him. Mr. Hopewell took the stand and stated that he went to Baltimore and purchased the whiskey for his own per sonal use and consumption, and there was no evidence produced contrary to his statement. ' Judge Whedbee also issued an order instructing the sheriff to break and pour out a large quantity of whiskey seized from L. F. Pearsall, a white man of this city, who was convicted of hav ing it in his possessjon for the pre sumable purpose of sale. TREMENDOUS ROW BY PAN-GERMANS (Continued From Page One) the reichstag main committee Fricay, in which he recounted the progress of the negotiations at Brest-Litovsk. He emphasized also the cordiality of the relations between Germany and Aus tria. "Austria has stood by us in complete loyalty and will continue to do so,' he said. "I will never undertake any pro posal interfering with such close anu unshakeable friendship." HUNGARIAN PREMIER FORMS CABINET AT KING'S REQUEST Amsterdam, Jan. 27.

Mr. Wilson, he said, wanted Germany to lose all she had won In fifty years. Prof. Waldeyer was a delegate to the convention of the American association for the advancement of science held in New York in December, 1916. CZERNIN'S SENDING SPEECH TO WILSON STARTS FURORE ,L.onaon, Jan. 27. The Cologne Ga zette's Vienna correspondent, accord ing to advices reaching here says that Count Czernin, Austro-Hungarian min ister of foreign affairs, informed the Austrian delegations Saturday that the text of his speech on the war aims had already been forwarded to President Wilson before its delivery. The paper says that the statement has caused enormous sensation and confirms the belief that Count Czern in's references to the United States were to actual steps taken to bring about an exchange of views between the western powers and Russia and Germany. Addresing the foreign affairs com mittee of the Reichsrath Saturday Count Czernin, according to an Amster dam dispath to the central news, re ferred frankly to the differences in the Austrian and German war aims. He explained that Germany wanted to get her colonies 'back and obviously could not consent to abandon occupied terri tories befijre securing guarantees for the restitution of her possession, Aus tria, however, was differently situated. She stood everywhere on enemy terri tory, except in Eastern Galacia. ARGUING JF CZERNIN'S ACT INDICATES GERMAN BREAK Amsterdam, Jan. 27. The Socialist paper Vorwaerts joins in the contro versy that has arisen in the German press as to whether Count Czernin's peace invitation to President Wilson is indicative of a break in the Austro German alliance. Pan-German papers think that it is but "Vorwaerts points to the "weighty", phrase in Von Kuehl mann's speech. "We are in agreement with Count Czernin, as proving, contrary to thf Pan-iGerman assumption, that 'Count Czernin's fraternal kiss for President Wilson received the German govern ment's blessing in advance.' Again complaining of Chancellor Von Hertling's ambiguity, Vorwaerts out lines its own program "based on the honest right of self-determination for the Eastern peoples, "including the right to joint Russia; the complete re establishment of the independence of Belgium and the return of occupied French territory on the sole condition that France forego her claim on Ger man territory." Vorwaerts asks Von .Keuhlnfann whether any obligation .prevents ' him from adoptintg this program. Read Star Business Locals. MANY TRAVELERS ABE HELPED Reports of Aids at Union Station Shows the Great Benefits of Work Being Done by SorOsis. After four years of earnest and con secrated work as travelers' aid at the union station in Wilmington, Mrs. A. T. Parker has won a big place'-in the hearts of many people through her un selfish service. Associated with her In this work is Mrs. Annie Mohr, a divis ion of time being arranged by which there is always someone a the station to meet strangers and to look after any wayward persons. During the month of December last year 150 people were given assistance in one way or another, of which 62 were women and t4 girls while 10 men and 14 men were aided. Fourteen tele phone messages were sent and the cost of telegrams was $9. The , number of trains met was 124 and there were 62 outgoing trains. Mrs. Parker gives particulars of many specific cases in which aid was rendered. Two young girls missed their train to Whiteville and a room was secured for them for; the day they had to spend in the city. A man came with his sick wife to consult a physician. They came in on a late train on the A. & Y. the onlylone they could come to the city on arid had to wait until next day to see the doctor. They were secured rooms and the woman given proper atterftion. During the month all trains wer late and the travel the ', heaviest. In many years. Two young girls had to stay in the station all night whilei they waited for their train to Bolton' and were given every necessary attention. A ticket was purchased ancLohis"",bag gage checked for an old crippled man, who was very grateful. Four girls had to wait for a train and were accompanied to .a cafe. An other was accompanied to her home on Wooster street upon her arrival late at night. A number of telephone mes sages were received to meet people and show them the way to places in the city. Two old women were helped to locate a freind on Nun street. An old woman was helped to keep iwarm dur ing the cold weather by the aid of oil stove. Several children were aided in finding places in the city, where friends or relatives lived. ' Several women and girls were as sisted in finding packages ;vVhich they had lost at the station. ; A woman and her two children were without wraps during the cold weath er and they were provided with sweat ers, so they could keep warm'and were given lunch. These are but a few of the many things that these women, did for peo ple who were. traveling. The work is conducted under the auspices of the social service department of Sorosis, of which Mrs. E. M. Gregg is chairman. BAKER'S ANSWER COMING TODAY tContinued From Page;Qne5. meetings scheduled for- tomorrow are expected to go by the-board. Little im portant legislation this w'eeic is sched uled for consideration on the floor by either house. ' " V? Much progress, however, Is expected on the administration railroad legisla tion. Final arguments of counsel will be made tomorrow before; the house interstate commerce committee. Argu ments have been concluded! before the senate committee which will tomorrow start work in revision of, th& measure. Continue Army Probe. The Senate military committee's army investigation also will ' proceed after Secretary Baker's examination is concluded with inquiry into the avia tion service and other army branches. Tuesday the committee expects to re consider the Chambarlain war cabinet bill, probably reporting it to" the sen ate with a minority dissent proposing reference to the " naval committee. When it will be brought ' before the senate, where administration . leaders are confident of killing the measure, is problematical. Finish of the house naval sub-committee's inquiry into. navaL affairs is planned this week. The senate com merce committee will proceed with its shipbuilding investigation giving spec ial attention to the record of Theodore Ferris, former chief architect of the emergency fleet corporation. Many Army and Navyi Bills. The administration soldiers and sail ors civil rights, or' "civil relief" bill, Is to be considered tomorrow by the sen ate judiciary" committee w;hich plans an early report to the senate. More than a score of minor army and navy bills await consideration. ' . Another meeting is planned during the week of the senate manufacturers' sub-committee to consider f reports of its recent investigations of the sugar and coal shortages. ' Two big war conservation measures are liable to become active 'issues in the house soon. One is the! president's bill for broad price fixing powers on which he recently called a white house conferences of members of the House agricultural committee. 'Chairman Lever who has a copy of fthe bill, is safeguarding its contents until he de termines whether he will introduce It in its present form. Meantime Mr. Lev er has introduced another government control measure, a bill empowering the president to modify or otherwise regu late the sale, use, manufacture and dis tribution of any foodstuffs or feed by public eating places manufacturers, producers or carriers. 1 Huge Sums to be Vbtcd. The house appropriations committee will soon report a huge Urgent defi ciency bill to provide for wkr needs by an appropriation based on official esti mates of $1,500,000,000 for the army and navy, and other government-branches. The $27,000,000 agricultural; appropria tion, bill will be passed by the house early this week. It will - be followed by the $8,000,000 diplomatic ana con sular appropriation bill. To expedite the arnly bill the military: committee this week will have both morning and afternoon sessions beginning with Sur geon General Gorgas on the medical needs of the army tomorrow and Tues day and other bureaus the rest of the week. The naval appropriation bill which, like the army bill, will be the biggest on record is still in the hear ing stage. f . BAKERS BEGIN MAKING "VICTORY" BREAD TODAY I . (Continued From Page!

FIRST AMERICANS KILLED How. the first -Americans were Silled or captured by the Germans is a story that has not been fully told. Two ac counts of the fight received at the headquarters of the national war work council of the Y. M. C'A. throw con siderable light oh at. A French boy who fought in an ad joining section with the Americans, and who helped to bury James T. Gresham, of Evansville, Indiana; Merle Bay, of Glidden, Iowa, and Thomas F. Enright, of PittsbHrach, sent a brief de scription of the fight to his godmother who gave it to a "S. M. C. A. worker an France, Alfred M. Brace, professor of journalism at the University of North Dakota. .At the same time, Chauncey-.P. . Hujbert sent a descrip tion ofvthe return of the survivors of the fight to their quarters in a Y. M. C. A. hut back of the firing line. The French boy says in part: "We are now right In the midst of the Americans, but I assure you we were In a quiet section? till the moment the Bodies began to get cross and started to attack the Americans to make them prisoners, and at the same time atacked us also. "They killed soihe and we have had the honor of burying the first Ameri cans who have fallen in France. You will see this doubtless in the papers. It is the division and they have taken a photograph of us. "I tell you they are very ' good sol diers. They do not surrender easily. They defended themselves to the death. We found them with their throats cut because they would not be taken pris oners and the Boches killed them." In telling of the return of the sur vivors and drawing a word picture of the village in which they are stationed Mr. Hulbert, who was a visitor, says: "The men from the village had just returned from their training in the front trenches. Beside the fifteen straw billets there had been fifteen others Three of their numbers had been kill ed and twelve captured in a German raid. "Ten men around the "hut stove were not disheartened. They quickly assum ed the sang-froid of the French and told gruesome stories about having seen six Germans pounce upon "Big Tom' and slash his throat open. "These men live in a little village with a nanrow main street and rush ing stream from which horses are drinking, ducks paddling and old wo men washing clothes. Lined up on the low quai are an American soldier shav ing; another brushing his teeth; a lit tle girl dipping a pail; a grandmother trying to capture an elusive duck; and three French "women up to their el bows in soap suds. Half way down the street is a large barn; the bar at the double door playfully bumps all who attempt to enter with unbowed head. A dirt "squlrter, large enough to hold three farm carts, is surrounded by stalls for cows and horses. Two rustic staircases mount to the next floor ten feet above. - This is a Y. M. C. A. and the home of the men who have had the honor to take part in the first trench fight. - "Scattered around the rough hewn floor are many tables and collapsible benches. A group of soldiers surrounds a sooty( cauldon at one side wherein smokes and blazes a greenwood fire. Some rough gymnastic apparatus is fit ted to the (beams and bars beyond. Along the wall are straw billets for fifteen men, neatly covered with blan kets in reminiscence of bunk inspec tion. The secretaries' quarters and canteen counter are on the other side. The latter is well stocked with sweet chocolate and other American com forts which Paris itself cannot sup ply. "The secretary is a friend of the men and they become attached to him. When they go into the front trenches, he packs his suitcase with chocolate and other comforts and goes with them. He is a personal friend of all." REPORT IMPROVEMENT IN FREIGHT AND FUEL (Continued From Page One) Smith, director of eastern lines, re ported that coal now is being provided as fast as needed. Higher temperatures in Virginia and West Virginia facilitated fuel move ments in that section today. FOURTH SEVERE SNOW STORM IX WEST BUT NOT CO BAD . Chicago, Jan. 27. The fpurtn severe snowstorm to sweep the central states this winter, died out last night with out causing much material damage either to property or transportation. Tonight the railroads reported normal train movements and street conditions in Chicago were foundTto be little the worse for yesterday's snow. The railroads reported Chat the movement of coal was even a trif ie bet ter today than during last week, more cars reaching and passing Cnicago than on, any one day for several days. During the snowstorm last night, three laborers were killed by a pas senger train in South Chicago. Two others were injured. MORE UNIFOR MOBSERVANCE MORE UNIFORM OBSERVANCE Washington, Jan. 27. A more uni form observance tomorrow of'the gov ernment's second heatless Monday in the east than was reported for th( first was predicted tonight by fuel ad ministration officials. A list of exemp tions published generally today leaves little room, they said, for misinterpre tation of the closing order. The exemptions as given out last night show that virtually all business enterprise ' except certain specified trades engaged in war work and food production is txpected to close down. Drugstores and - food stores alone among the various shops will be per mitted to do business and they must confine themselves to the sale of drugs and food except where drug stores sell publications. In all there will be nine Mondays on which the general use of tuel for heat ing and lighting is forbidden. Fuel administration officials think the fuel saved added to 'that saved by the re cent five-day factory closing will go far towards making up the fuel short age. RICHMOND WIIiI OBSERVE FUEL DAY MORE CLOSELY Richmond, Va., Jan. 27. More gener al observance of heatless Monday ie planned for this city tomorrow, accord ing to State Fuel Administrator Byra. Thirty-one manufacturing establish ments in this state have been granted permission to continue operation, the majority being .engaged in the manu facture of food, products or on army contracts. - Administrator Byrd has been assured that all stores except those selling food and fuel, will be closed and in the latter instance fuel only will be offer ed for sale.: New Discovery!

In joint meetings of "the packers and union leaders, the packers declareu they met the representatives of the workers solely as individuals and that their action was not to be construed as recognition of any union . The union leaders on their side asserted that rec ognition of the union was not one of their demands.
