A large congrega tion followed the minister with close attention as he urged that homes should be made Christian homes. Many came forward at the end of the ; service, . expressing a desire to lead Christian lives. Dr. Chapman, jOharles M.

Dr. Gardner resigned rather than accept transfer to Gloucester, N. J., which he said is an unimportant post. 'The boast was made by the Chi nese a year ago that I would be de moted or transferred for my work in the Wong Doo King case," Dr. Gard ner said. "Six weeks ago a Chinese told me I could avoid demotion by lending money to the wife of an Im migration offlciaj." When Dr. Gardner's transfer was ordered, i. telegram asking Its revo cation was sent to Washington,, sign ed by heads of various departments here and by federal Judges, he said. Wong Doo King, a leader among Chinese, and said to have been the head of the Blng Kong Tong, fought deportation for years. . f- ITALY DOES NOT INT : MONARCHY IN Peking, China, Nov. IS.

Large delega tions have been present each day and the evangelistic party are well pleased with results of the work. There will be no services this after noon or evening. Last Night ' On the subject, "A Broken Family Circle. Dr. Chapman spoke last night as follows: Texts: Genesis 46:8 "And these are the name of the children of Israel." Revelation 7:4 "And I heard the num ber of them that were sealed." "I am to speak to you tonight on the subject of a broken family circle and the sad thing to you Is that you are the only one having the power to break It. God has done all that He can do. I do not mean to say that you will never have another Invita tion. Doubtless you may. I am not suggesting that you will never hear another sermon. I suppose you' will, but I am perfectly sure that no new arguments well ever be presented to yo.u giving reasons why you should accept Jesus Christ as a personal Saviour. "I have two texts, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testamen. The first Is Genesis 46:8; And these are the names of the chil dren of Israel," and the follow the twelve names on the sons of Jacob, The other text Is found in Revelation 7:4: 'And I heard the number of them that were sealed. Then the names of the tribes, the sons of Jacob, are given, and if you notice very care fully you will find there are twelve names in Genesis and there are eleven in Revelation; one is missing. Let us ask you this question, when the books are opened and tne names are read, will your name be missing? Long years ago your mother's name was (Continued on Page Five). London, Nov. 13. "The American note will cause us little concern as Englishmen," says the Spectator, commenting on the recent note from the United States to Great Britain re lating to interference with American trade. 'Its harsh and unsympathetic tone will not make us relax in the slightest degree our grip on the throat of Germany which our sea power gives us," says the Weekly. 'We shall answer the note politely and in a much more human spirit than that inspired by its words, but we shall answer firmly what we must do whatever the consequences, but there will be no consequences." The Spectator believes the majority of Americans would not tolerate see Ing Great Britain "stabbed in the back." It does not believe President Wilson will mix the problem pf muni tions and contraband and refuses to regard the United States as a purely foreign country. ; ' j The article continues that, "wnen the hiBtory of the war is written Americans of the future will fefel anything but pride when they remem ber the official action of -America during the; great war,'' aod. Mk.Ys-thai AmmlcaV notes wfll" show how, first the American government considered maintaining a rigid neutrality on a moral issue "the brutalizing of Bel gium, as Colonel Roosevelt called it" and further how the Washington government bore outrages committed on American subjects like the sink ing of the Lusitania until the effl ciency of the British navy abated the menace, and "again when In the- su preme moment of British agony they thought they had found a certain technical infringement of their rights vehemently pushed their paper case, The Spectator says that the British have not torpedoed American ships nor killed American citizens and that the British embassy has not been a center of plots and conspiracies, yet it considers the whole tone of the note to Great Britain much less friendly than that of notes sent to Uermrny. Referring to the sinking of the Italian steamer Ancona the Spectator savs that unless the championship which the executive assumes refers to goods only and does not cover hu man beings, It ventures to suggest that Washington at least repeat the Lusitania warning. Washington, Nov. 12.-The average American city, a one-time subject of criticism by foreign . observers. Is coming into its own, The authorities of two large South , American trade centers have asked for Information about the administrative methods and finances of cities In this country. The bureau of foreign and domes tic commerce, department of com merce, has Just completed for one of the inquiring municipalities, a study of the financing of improvements in American cities, the desired facts be ing quickly gathered from the wealth of Information at hand on the sub ject. The second South American request was for official publications or tne principal cities In this country, on city Improvement, public works, con struction laws, and municipal organ! zation or reform. The bureau Is pre paring to furnish the desired publica tions, and also to make systematic efforts to bring these communities In to closer touch with those of the Uni ted States. It Is expected that the pro lected work will contribute toward stronger business relations. One of the South American com munications involved other Important matters which enable . the bureau to bring the large public works that are included in the city's new fiscal plans to the attention of investors, contrac tors and suppliers of materials.

The evacua tlon of the large cities that Russia has abandoned to the Germans Is a task the Immensity of which may be Judged from figures now available concerning the partial evacuation of Riga.

He foresaw the dif ficulties that the premier would have to face In Its composition, he states. and he makes no complaint because the scheme was changed, but with that change his work In the govern ment naturally closed.

An agltatloaS among Raleigh women for the prlvij lege of admission tothe classes of the A. and M. college has gathered enough) energy and momentum to make large: enough showing to call It a possible, "issue" In the early months ahead. I The farm life schools, the home' economies departments of the various! city and county schools, the girls can-; ning clubs and the home demonstra tion work done by the state and by the federal government have given to a few pioneers the suggestion that the' A. & M. college has much which thej farm woman gets with great difficulty' from any of the Institutions and de partments named. Consequently a co-1 terie, who are not Identified with the suffrage movement, are going to pre sent the case to the authorities whoi can decide it. It Is believed that the North Caro- Una Teachers' assembly which meets In Raleigh Thanksgiving week will be asked to Indorse the project. Recent- ly stock of those teaching in these home-making departments was taken and It was found that nearly all of them came from state schools in the , middle west and In the east. Not only - do ttiest schools admit, women, tajhel i curricula-.but tfiey supply-,the schools ,'..!-. of . the south particularly, with their teachers. '.I The State Normal has heard of the project and naturally has not encour aged it because some phases of the in structor sought by the proposed co educational features in the A. & M. are given in the State Normal. But advocates o fthe broader system at Raleigh believe that so far from work ing against the Normal it would e.n- courage attendance thereby accenting education everywhere. "Poultry raising, dairying and some phases of farming really concern wo men more than men," one of the lead. . ers of this movement said today. "You know that men don't like, as a rule, to worry with chickens and they don't like to milk the cows. This kind oC work is to fall upon women. More than that the farmers receive Instruc tion that essentially belongs to farm, women and the women ought to have It. They can't get it at the Normal, . the Normal was not designed to' fur nish it. How often does the ' farm, management fall to women anybody can see. Besides, there is nothing; learned at these technical schools that Isn't Just as important to women aa the classical courses taught? to mi are important to women. Would Cot Little. "It would cost about 1000 to put Into the A. & M. college just what tho women would need to be admitted to those etudiea. That's mighty small. It has been said that the North Caro lina man taught at the A. & M. make good and leaves the state to teach elsewhere or to work In other places. Tho North Carolina woman would re main In North Carolina. "You will hear It objected that the university was opened in 1897 to '.he wuinvn that only a handful of women ever went there. That's true, but It argues for our proposal rather than against It. The course at the univer sity Is essentially the teaching design ed for man so that women who go there are expected to take the 'man's course' and get only In enlarged de gree what thy got at the traditional woman's colli-ue. You get law, medi cine, higher mathematics, Latin or something else as a sort of post grad. uate course to the women's colleges and there you are. But I'll venture that If there were some branches de signed particularly to meet the need4 ot th' North Carolina farm women or other classes there would be moro women taking advantage of the state's liberality. .
