Divine Worship With No Music Nor Priest, Only Women Present < By Associated Press.) FIELD HEADQUARTERS. Mexico, July B.—(Via Courier to Columbus. N. M.. July B.)—Divine worship without music, priest, the sacrament or vest ments. with only women and children present, was viewed Sunday at Nami quipa by sightseers from the American expeditionary column. In a church built two years before the start of the Amer ican war of independence, under the faint light of sunshine sifting in through breaks in the roof, a few Mexican women and children knelt on the floor. One candle, stuck in a beer bottle, illuminat ed the altar. There were no pews and the worship was in complete silence. One of these women, it was learned, since banditry, revolution and unfavor able legislation have all but closed the churoh. has taken upon herself the ofllce of janitor and as nearly as she may, that of priestess. On saints' days and Sun days she. with the women who still cling to their religion, dress in their best— drab clothing it is—and perform such rites of worship as are left to them Near the door stands a large wooden cross which the women reverently kissed as they left the church.

Nitrate Cargo Increases $875,000 in Value While Lying in New York H’bor By Associated Press.) NEW YORK. July 7. —The German sailing ship Indra begain to discharge here today a cargo of nitrate from Chile, valued at f1.000.00U.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA HALF MILE GAINED Bi BRITISH FORCES NORTH OF SOMME Pounding of General Von Bothmer's Army in Galicia Is Continued by Czar With the Capture of 3,000 (By Associated Pre**.) WASHINGTON, July 9.—Undeterred by rain and fog. the Franco-British of fensive continues fiercely north of the Somme. The British in conjunction with the French are reported to have ad vanced a half mile on Saturday against the Germans. General Haig's forces also have made considerable progress at Contalmalson, where their position now is considered “satisfactory.” The French in an attack on Harde court and Mamelon gained the desired positions in a little more than half an hour. The Germans counter attacked twice against the Mainelcn petitions, but were repulsed. The French inflicted heavy losses and took 260 prisoners. Artillery bombardments continue around Verdun. A fierce g.reilminary bimbardment by th? British was fcdlowea by an infan try attack, which gained tnem lodg ment in a strongly defended German position known as the Bois de Troynes. The Germans attempted a strong coun ter attack but according to the British official statement, it broke down. In the east Russian srmt are again in the ascendancy from the Pinsk marshss south to the Carpathians. The Russian drive for Kovel is again in full swing along both sides ot the railway from Sarny to this important junction point in General Kaledines reported ’further important progress in this movement yesterday. His lines now have been pushed for ward along a front of more than thirty miles in this sector until they extend from Letchniovka and the north to Gru zlatyn on the south, the present front lying approximately 36 miles from Ko vel. The Teutonic resistance, which a week ago had not only stopped, but was driving back the Russians along this front, apparently has been notably weakened. Berlin and Vienna have re ported an orderly retirement here, but Petrograd claims the capture of more than 2.060. prisoners, with numerous guns and stores and mentions the saber ing of numbers of Austrians in a pur suit after a cavalry charge. The pounding of General von Both nier's army in Galicia also is being con tinued by the Russians, who report the capture of another tillage and of more than 1,000 additional prisoners. A Mlspatch from the Austrian head quarters tonight admits that the Rus sians have driven the Austrians back twelve miles. The statement says, however, that the gain was accomplish ed at a great sacrifice to the Russians. The admission is also made that the Russians not only stopped General von Bothmer’s advance, but caused him to fall back. The German official statement has lit tle to say of the fighting in the Volhy r.ian and Galician fields of operation. It reports, however, the repression of Rus sian attacks on Field Marshal von Hindenburg's lines south of Dvinsk and the mowing down of masses of Russians in their futile efforts to break through the German lines north of Baranovichi, along the front from Zirin to below Gorodische. The battle In this latter sector is still in progress. The British Infantry after a fierce bombardment, stormed a line of trench es and gained a footing in the Bois de Trones, according to the British official statement issued late tonight. The British also made an appreciable ad vance in the neighborhood of Ovlllers, according to the statement. A Re.tter correspondent in the Brit ish camp in France sends the report that during Saturday, the British in conjunction with the French gained a half mil® against the Germans. There seems little doubt that the Germans have massed all their readily available reserves against the British in northern France and are making General Haig's forces pay dearly for whatever success they win. Berlin does concede the gains claim ed by the British in their efforts to re duce the German salient centering upon Contalmalson, and declares that enor mous numbers of British dead were left on the ground before the German positions in this sector after the fire from the Teutonic artillery and machine guns had torn Into the masses of troops advancing to the attack. Similar heavy losses were suffered .by the French in attacks along the Bia ches-Soye-court front of their offensive movement, according to the German headquarters report. Heavy fighting continues north of Verdun where the French are declared by Barlin to have suffered heavily In fruitless attempts to carry German po sitions on Froide Terre ridge.

TWO FtORIDA SEMTORS OBJECT TO JIM MESSER Son-in-Law of Present Post master at Tallahassee Re jected by the Senate WASHINGTON. July B.—A new ap pointee for postmaster at Tallahassee will be insisted upon by Florida’s sen ators, they announced today. The nomi nation of James Messer was rejected yesterday by the senate.

Give Marble Chance to Expand, Is New Method Perfected for Quarrying WASHINGTON, July B.—Perfection of a method by which it is claimed ex cessive waste in marble quarrying may be avoided and in consequence, thou sands of dollars saved, was announced today by the bureau of mines. Bureau officials explain that one of the prolific sources of waste is the con dition of internal strain in the process of quarrying which causes the rocks to break up into irregular fragments To avoid this waste it is suggested that rows of deep, closely spaced verti cal drill holes be projected across the quarry in such a manner that the rock may expand and partially cloee the drill holes, thus giving relief from strain without the destructive fracturing. This method, it Is said, has been tried out and proven a success. The bureau’s figures indicate that from 60 to 75 per cent of the marble quarried in many localities is wasted unnecessarily. 20,065 Shipments of Liquor Here in June Reports from the ordinary's office show that the liquor shipments for the month of June equalled 20,066 as against 7,741, in May. This mark was forecast by that office early in the month when the May record had already been passed. The ordinary's office is kept working overtime on these shipments with no relief in sight. The legislature, in mak ing provisions for these reports from the express companies, failed to maKe any additional arrangements for handl ing them and hence the burden falls on the clerks in the ordinary’s office.

MILLION DOLLARS OF MILITIA EQUIPMENT IS REPORTED MISSING Woeful Mismanagement of State Guard Is Exposed by Call of President to Mobilize Now BY I*. M. KEKBY. WASHINGTON, July B.—Woeful mis management of the state militia of the country is revealed by the call for na tional guardsmen to go to the Mexican border! The brave boys of the rank and file answered the call, but troop movements were delayed because the militia is Short of uniforms. Short of shoes. Short of equipment. Cavalry are without horses. Artillery are without guns. Engineers are without wagons. And there is information on file here that from January 1, 1912, to June 30, 1915, property valued at $1,352,761.14 furnished by the United States govern ment t the national guard disappeared. And all this, in time of crisis, despite the fact that in 1914 the war department issued a circular notifying the etate au thorities that th© men of the militia must be equipped up to the minimum of requirements, that is, that they must have at least one uniform and complete outfit of .rifle and kit. Following this notication, .the 1915 inspection showed that just one state — Washington—was uniformed and eflulp ped as prescribed. Upon being notified that federal funds would be withheld during the fiscal year of 1916. unless the defects were remedied. 38 states hastened to provide this minimum equipment. Whatever other sins the regular army may have to answer for. It cannot be charged with Inefficiency in handling the militia. The men in the milita ranks and, in a large part, the officers Incom mand, are earnest in the purpose to serve the country. They are Yiot re stponsible. Commenting on the reports of regular army inspectors, directed to make actual accounts of all federal property in the possession of the state troops, General A. L. Mills, chief of militia affairs, says: "The figures proved beyond doubt that a majority of state property accounts contained* no information whatever be yond a mere statement of accountabil ity. The returns were without value for any other purpose. "The authorities of the militia of many states have for years simply failed and neglected to take ade quate measures to cause their account ability to agree with the actual state of the property." The war department found some of these conditions to be the result of years of mismanagement by politicians long out of office. Accordingly, there was nothing to do but to drop from the property ac counts material valued at $495,867.83. Where this procedure could not be fol lowed the department allowed these long-standing shortages to be dropped from the current return and carried on a separate list. 1913, twelve states took advantage of this, and in 1914 the number has increas ed to twenty-two, with but one state (Illinois) clearing up its shortage. Matters were going from bad to worse, so the department announced that this privilege would terminate June 30, 1916. As a result, some of the states managed to "And” the lost property, and $68,- 088.81 was recovered or the loss satis factorily accounted for. But the state officials got busy with congress, asking for legislative action granting them "relief from this short age, and the governors of at least two states appealed to the secretary of war, asking that the charge for the property lost be not made, as such action would have a disastrous effect on their militia. NO DFI‘N)RT TO RECOVER. Because congress was about to take action to "relieve” the states, the secre tary of war extended the time for the final settlement from July 1, 1915, to July 1, 1916 General Mills announces the result in his last annual report: “Nothing has since been done in connection with this matter, and as far as this office is in formed the states concerned immediate ly ceased efforts to recover, account for, or reduce the shortage concerned." In addition to this property, a targe amount has been lost, stolen and de stroyed In the various states as a result of failure to exercise reasonable care against theft. Are and the elements. The only recourse the government has is to charge the state out of the allot ment of federal funds for property which disappears. This results in no money for equipment and training of the mi litia. The trouble is that there is no ef fective control over the guard by the federal government. The war department may request, ad vise and prescribe, but the state of ficials and the political adjutant gener als appointed by the governors, are un der no responsibility to comply. And Uncle Sam has no recourse ex cept to stop the flow of federal funds and thus cripple the training of the only second line troops in the country. Divided authority thus results in no effective control. Military funds are regarded by many state politicians in the same light as "river and harbor,’* and "postoffice" and "public building" appropriations; in other words as “pork,” distributed by the federal government. ———— OFFER NO. 11— ■ 1 11 Our Favorite SI.OO Premium Offer TAe Three Leading Papera for only One FFF Dollar and thia pair Gold- handled Sheara ([ These Shears Can’t Be Beat for a Present to Your Wife or Sweetheart Sign year nsms enrf Wtfree* fe Co ep on emf eenrf fs with Ona Dallar and tna aand The Semi-Weekly Journal— The Biggest Newspaper in the South— lß Months Home and Farm— The Biggest and Oldest Farm Jeumal in the Sooth— l 2 Months Woman’s World Magazine— Mosi Widely Circulated Magazine in the World— l 2 M onths AND GOLD-HANDLED SHEARS, FREE THE SEMI WEEKLY JOURNAL, Atlanta, Ga., Enclosed find SI.OO.
