Tiie Chatham Record. 11. A. LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 15. 1915. The entire destruction last week of the town of Hopewell, in Virginia, was one of the most appalling calamities that has be fallen this country during the past year. Fortunately no lives were lost and the burned build ings were oi cheap construction, and will no doubt be soon rebuilt with brick and stone. We have no idea that any German spy started the fire, as many persor.s at first seemed to think. The only wonder is that such a has tily buiit town was not burned sooner. The growth of this town was almost magical, in a few months changing from a vacant field to a town of nearly 35,000 inhabi tants to the erection near there o a factory of the Dupont Powder Company which employed so many operatives. Voyage Across the Pacific. As our readers kno-, Miss Pearl Johnson started from here last Octo ber as a missionary to China anu t may interest manv of our readers to read an account of her voy ge across the Pacific ocean as described in a let ter written on board the steamer to her father, Prof. R. P Joh son, who has kindly consented to allow publi cation of extracts from it in The Rec ord. The first part of the letter is dat ed October 24th, from which we copy the following: ' "I am going to write you by little all along the way until we reach Yoko hama where we can mail our letters. As you know we teft. Vancouver one week ago today. This week has been varied as to weather. Tuesday and a great part of Wednesday we were in a pretty severe storm. Thursday we pass d along the edge of one. The rest of the time the sea has been wo der fully e lm. For two days I was pret t v seasick, but by remaining quiet did not suffer so much as many others The rest of the time I've felt perfectly well and am scarcely conscious, of the boat's motion now. We are far north, just now going around acurve about fifty miles from the Aleutian islands. The rest of our v"yage will be toward the southwest.

Aoout 4UU cninese are in the steerage. 'This morning we had a Church of England service. As this is au Eng lish ship that service is required to be reed once a week. TMs evening we are to have u Protestant service. A Canadian Methodist is to preach. This morning Mr. Lake took several of us down to the steerage where he spoke to the poor folks down there. He spoke in Chinese but we enjoyed the service for thev crowded all around us, and the expression on their faces showed their interest. 1 was more g ad than ever before that I was going to have the privilege of carrying the message of the Christ to them. These poor folks i the steerage hve a hard voy age, away down und-r the ater line the only air and lignt they get comes from small holes in the top which must always be 'dosed in times of storm. Huddled together with no comforts some die on every vovage. Many are uoing home now to spend the .New ear there. Friday, Oct. 29 For two days this week we were ve y near the A eutiaii islands, in full sight all one day only eight or ten miles away. The one we saw is uninhabited and is most bleak and barren looking, in places covered with snow and ice. Bme of them are do ' inhabited by Eskimo who have large rox farms, we were told.

One of the most interesting incidents of the session was the election of a corresponding secretary to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Rev. Dr. Livings ton Johnson. Amotion was made to appoint a committee to nomi nate the secretary, but that was voted down by a large majority, the convention very properly deeming it more satisfactory to allow the convention to elect by a vote of all the delegates. Oth er conventions, political as well as religious, would well to follow this good example. After three ballots the lot fell on Rev.

The convention will meet next year at Elizabeth City. Complications have arisen be tween this country and Austria Hungary that seem to be more serious than any that have here tofore arisen between this coun try and any other of the warring nations in Europe. On the 1st. day of last month an Austrian submarine sank th Italian steam er Ancona on which were some American passengers who were killed before they were given an opportunity of being saved. This was in direct violation of inter national law and was inhuman. Our government has sent a note demanding an apology and rep aration, and this note is so writ ten as to leave no doubt as to the earnestness of our government in carrying out its demands. We have no doubt that the proper apology and reparation will be made, as demanded, and that no similar outrage will be perpe trated. This reminds us of an incident that occurred about sixty years aero, when the captain of an American warship in an Aus trian port quickly compelled the return of a naturalized Austrian who had been unlawfully seized by Austrian officers. The next Democratic national convention will be held at St Louis on the 14th of June, 1916, for the purpose of nomina ting the next President and Vice- President of the United States This was decided on last week by the national executive com mittee at a meeting held in the city of Washington. Of course President Wilson will be renomi nated, and probably without any opposition, and his prompt nom ination then will be in pleasing contrast to the protracted ballot ing for the nomination at the Baltimore convention in 1912- The delegates to that conven tion will not be chosen by con ventions, as heretofore, but will be elected at primaries, and at the same primaries the Demo cratic voters will express their choice for President. In this way the people have the oppor tunity of expressing their choice, and the convention will formally ratify their choice. The Republican national con vention has not yet been called, but will probably be held at Chi cago week before the Democrat- little ic convention. Nobody can now I predict who will be its nominees. brought us safely across. Danger Signal. If the fire bell should rincr would you run and stop it or go and help to pm out toe tire?

"I didn't tell you why we were de layed so long in Vancouver, for I fear ed you would be uuduly fright ned. 1 knew there was no danger, but I didn't know whether I could make vou understand that there was non... morning we were to go aboard, a few hours before we were to have gone on the ship, there was a fi re discovered in one of the holds where c tton was packed. or several hurs the fire company fought fire, then all the freight had to be unloaded and the ship carefully examined. Such a thor ough examination was made that we were in les- danger than if there had been no fire, so of course felt no un-uneasine-s. The hull of the vessel wasn't injured at all. I suppose vu are getting news of the troubl s in China. .Perhaps ou've heard more than I have, for we have had only one wireless message yet. I hope you feel no uneasiness at all about me. I feel that th re will be no danger, but if there is we all know in whom is our trust and we will not fear. Please never be anxious or dis turbed about me at anv time or under any condition for what is best f r us all w.ll be done, t will write you week ly, but as thsire are few vessels run ning now I don t know wnetner you will hear that often or not. This is the only vessel on this line. Some go from San Francisco and Seattle, how ever. Nov. 2, Tuesday We are now only about three days out from Japan and are eagerly looking forward to seeing land and.to a rest from 'he ship s mo tion for a while. We make three stops in Japan at Yokohama, at Maji and at Kabi. Then the' run is only about two days and a night. We spend sev eral days in ail these different places. Thoe who have made this trip before declare that this has been continuous ly the most rough vovage they ever made The storms haven't een so severe as storms sometimes are, but the sea has been quiet so very little of the tiire. We ride up and down, then we seem at times to swing almost around, and S"metimes we are spin ning like a top. Hut I've stayed well throughout it all. "At the table we have alwavs when it is very stormy, frames fastened on around each person's plate. If we did not have them the dishes would slide off 1 haven't told you about our meals, I believe. At eight we have breakfast; at eleven, beef soup is served on deck; at twelve thirty we have lunch; at four tea and sandwiches are served and at six dinner courses. I don't take something for every meal for there is rather too much of it. We have a great deal of fiuit at the ihr- e regular meals Without that I would not enjoy the food very much. I don't ouch any meat except fish for it isn't good, and I eat irish potatoes almost every mel; the other vegetables aren't very good either. "We came in sight of another vessel today. v e are on the same route that vessels from Seattle ad Sau Francisco take now, so think this was a vessel on one of these lines. e couldn't de cide which way it was going. Every body here speaks of the United states as "The States," and several thought the vessel was going to "the states." More later, I'll mail thisi .Japan; hope a vessel will carry it quickly to you.
