The ladles of the Baptist churches
of the city are making big prepara
tion for the entertainment of the
delegates from every part of tho State
who will attend the annual meeting
of the Woman's Missionary Society
of tho North Carolina Baptist State
convention in this city next month.
While the invitation which brought
this gathering to Winston-Salem was
extended by-the Baptist churches ol
the city thru the society of tho First
Baptist church, other denominations
are co-operating with the local com
mlttees in providing homes for the
four hundred and fifty ladies that are
expected to attend. Mrs. K. A. Lock-'
ett, chairman of tho hospitality com
mittee, has received requests from
many members of other denominations
asking that they be assigned dele
gates, and others who have relatives
and friends who will attend the ees
sion have asked the privilege of en
tertaining them.
Program Being Prepared.
"The program for tho sessions is now
being prepared by the executive com
mittee at Raleigh, with the co-operation
ot tho local committee, and it Is
expected to bo Issued in pamphlet
form within a few days. The meet
ing will begin on Tuesday, with the
introductory sermon by some promin
ent minister of the State on Tuesday
evening at the First Baptist church,
where all the sessions will bo held.
The morning prayer and devotional
service will be held each day, from
Tuesday, March 21, until and Including
Friday, March 24, at 9 o'clock, fol
lowed by the business session at 9:30
o'clock. The Baptist churches of the
city have also united to furniim lunch
each day at the First Church to all
the delegates and their hostesses, the
desire being to relieve those interest
ed of every strain possible, to the end
that the best study possible can be
put upon the deliberations of the
conference.
The Day Meetings.
The day meetings will be especially
for the ladies, but ther evening ses
sions will be open to the public and
it is hoped that the men will make
a special effort to attend these meet
ings. They will be featured by ad
dresses by representatives of the
State Mission Board, with headquart
ers at Raleigh; the Home Mission
Board, with headquarters at Atlanta
and the Foreign Mission Board, of
Richmond. The addresses to be deliv
ered at the evening meetings will be
of the greatest moment in connection
with the progress of the work of mis

Washington, Feb. 21. Confident In!
advices from Berlin toduy indicate
thut Germany soon will Inform the
fulled States that her previous as
surances that non renlflting liners will
not be uttacked without warning hold
good for future suhmarlno operations,
provided, however, that such liner do
not carry armament.
Tho (iernian government will con
tend, the advices stnto, thut what now
Is characterized defensive armament
really Is offensive anuamcnt where
submarines aro concerned, and will
propo.su discussion with tho fulled
Slates of what defensive armament
properly muy b..
As none of the British and French
liners now clearing from Amrrlean
ports curry uny guns whulever, such
assurances from llennany will be In
the nature of reassurance! for the
safety of tho neutrals they carry,
even under the terms ot the new nub-
murine campaign.
J.a3t nluht's conference between
l'resldent V.'iNon and Senator Stone
and Representative Flood, chalnwtn
ot tho congressional committee dial
ing with foreign n (la Irs, and Senator
Kern, the Democratic floor leader,
was said authoritatively toduy to
havo been held In order that the
president might inform the congress
ional leaders of the status of the ne
gotiations with Germany over the sub
marine warfare.
Senator Stone, it was said, asked to
seo tho president to learn what the
facts In the negotiations really were.
The president thought that Senatot
Kern and Representative Flood should
have the same information and asked
them lo ho present.
The president told the three leaders
that, while the foreign situation was
grave, It was not critical.
It is is understood that he said the
1'niled States would remain llrra In
its position that merchantmen have
a right to arm for defensive purpotteB.
The president does not believe
there should be largo discussion of
the foreign situation of by congress
because of the danger of embarrass
ing the negotiations being carried on
by the State department.
How far such assurances will go
towards meeting the State depart
ment's objection that the Lusitania
agreement, at present drawn, applies
only to the past and not to the fu
ture, probably only can by determined
when they are formally laid before
Secretary Lansing.
When tho assurances are lo be ex
pected from Berlin was not disclosed
but It Is believed they will arrive here
within the next few days. There was
no Intimation that the date set for the
opening of tho new campaign March
1 will he postponed, altlio this is re
garded as a remote possibility.
There were Intimations from offi
cial quarters that tho f nlted States
would not permit the negotiations over
the general subject of armed ship,
to bo drawn out Indefinitely.
In reiterating assurances regarding
tho future conduct of submarine war
i'aro, it is considered probable that
Uemany will state flatly that, in all
the previous negotiations, it has been
proceeding under tho assumption that
unarmed liners only were the issue
and that It always understood that
iho question of armed merchuntment
.id not enter. -

eral Gregory last night made public
a letter to Charles C. McCrory, of KI
lavllle, Ga.. stating the position of the
department of justice in regard to pros
edition of Thomas K. Watson, Of tnat
State, for alleged sending thru the
mall of obscene and Indecent matter
The letter answers protests' of Georgia
members of congress against reported
plans of the department to prosecute
.Mr. Watson outside the State of Geor
gia on the ground that a fair trial
could not be bad in that State,
Mr. Gregory makes it plain that he
will not hesitate to institute criminal
proceedings against Mr. Watson In
other Jurisdiction If he is convinced
that federal statutes have been vlo
luted outside, of Georgia, or that a fair
trial cannot bo had there. He says
the department of Justice has data to
show that Mr! Watson has violatftd the
section of the criminal code prohibit
ing the mails to obscene matter, atirt
that neither threats nor slander will
affect his duty aa a public official in
the case. ,

Winston-Salem Citizens Asked
to Aid Jews In the War Zone
What are tho pooplo of Winston Sa
lem going to do in the matter of aid
Ing the Buffering Jews of tho war
zone?
On January 2TtU President Wilson
called upon the pooplo of tho nation
to contribute to tho relief of tho nine
million Jews, mostly in Russia, who
ar suffering tho greatest privations
because of tho war in which that
country Is Involved. A few days ago
The Sentinel announced the departure
Of the first ship laden with three mil
lion dollars worth of provisions under
the protection of the American (lag,
for the relief of tho Jews In the war
zone. It will reach the places where
help Is most needed and many thous
ands will be relieved by this cargo.
But, three million dollars will not go
far when nine million people are suffer.
Ing.
Tho local campaign for contributions
to this fund has been on far nearly a
month in this city, but as yet only n
nominal sum has been contributed,
while at other places, and with the
campaign already closed, the contrl
butions have aggregated thousands
Richmond contributed $20,000; Dan
vlllo gave Jj.oof); Petersburg contilb
uted j",(K)0; Greensboro, several thou,
sand, and Liimberton, with only about
3,000 population, contributed $11.
In .Winston Salem, with a strong
committee to handle the funds and re
mit the contributions to Mr. Caesar
Cone, at Greensboro, who Is appointed
treasurer for North Carolina, less than
seventy-five dollars has been contrib
uted out.sldc of that contributed by
the Jewish families in Winston Salem
The fund was to close on Monday, but
feeling that there are those who want
to have a part la this great work, th
fund will be kept open for a few day
longer. It is believed that the action
of the Ministerial Association recently
in endorsing the movement, and the
appointment of some one in their con
gregations to solicit funds for this
work, ghould swell this fund to com
pare favorably with other cities of tltii
size, and that substantial relief will
be given. The fund that has been
sent to the Belgians, and contributions
to the Red Cross do not reach tho
people for which this Jewish fund 1
lining raised. ' The American Jews are
contributing liberally. The contribu
tion!! thruout the nation made pub'b
In New York headquarters Recently
showed several $100,000 con
tributions from wealthy Jewi of the
L'nited States; In fact, the bulk of the
$.1,000,000 just shipped to the war zone
was contributed, by the Jews of Amer
ica. Now, during the few days that re
main in which to contribute to the
Winston-Salem fund for tho Buffering
Jews, contributions can be left with
Mr. James A. Gray, Jr, at the Wacho

Thomas Muslin, at the Merchants' Na
tional Bank; Col. Blair, at the Peoples
