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.
Americans Who Fled
From Vera Cruz Reach
Tampa on Transport
(By Aaiooiated Frew.)
TAMPA. July 8. —The transport Sum
ner, with its American refugees from
Vera Cruz aboard, left the mullet key
quarantine station near here at lb
o'clock this morning and is expected to
dock at port Tampa, nine miles from
here, at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. The
boat had been six days out from Vera
Crux at that time and as it had been
fumigated there, and no disease w«is
found at quarantine, according to Dr
Blount, quarantine officer, regulations
were somewwhat relaxed in order that
those on board might get to a place of
comfort, there being comparatively lit
tle provisions for such a large number
of persons at the quarantine station.
Those on the vessel will be allowed to
go as they please in landing, although
many are said to be Indigent and/will
need government aid to reach their
homes. Immigration officers will deter
mine what are in need of funds, and
advance cash and transportation, they
state.
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. When she arrived
here bringing the cargo in September,
1914, it was worth only $136,000, but
the demand for the chemical for the
manufacture of explosives has greatly
increased its price since them. The re
sult is that while lying in this port for
nearly two years the value of the cargo
lias increased by $875,000.
Tha Indra was bound from a Chilean
pert 'to Dunkirk. France, when the Euro
pean war began. The captain headel for
New York on learning that war was de
clared. Consignees of the cargo began
litigation to compel him to carry it to
L-unkirk. but he declined to take his ship
to sea where she might be captured
by British or French warships.

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. Senators
Fletcher and Bryan opposed him because
Tallahassee residents objected to him
on account of brief residence. Repre
sentative Wilson recommended his ap
pointment.
Messer is a son-in-law of the present
postmaster, Alex McDougal, who holds
a recess appointment given him follow
ing the death of Postmaster John Mc-
Dougald. an appointee of the Taft,
Roosevelt, McKinley, Cleveland and Har

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.

Waycross Man Jailed
For Whipping Sons
WAYCROSS. Ga., July B.—W. R.
Smith was jailed today on complaint of
neighbors because of what is alleged
to have been an unmerciful whipping
given his two boys. Fred, aged ten. and
Bert, fourteen. The latter is in a seri
ous condition, his back being a jelly
from the effects of the beating.
Smith tied the boys hog fashion and
then fastened them to bedposts in his
home, applying a leather strap until the
children were nearly unconscious. The
screams of the suffering boys attracted
neighbors, who notified Sheriff Pittman.
The charge against Smith Is cruelty
to his children. Feeling in the neigh
borhood ran high and had officers not
taken charge of the case promptly it is
said Smith would have been given a
horsewhipping, or worse.

Just Fine,” Says Maxie
Brown ’ ’ ”
“I ham taken five bottles ot Tantac
and have actually gained twenty-six
pounds,” was the remarkable statement
made by Maxie G. Brown, while in
Marvin Middlebrooks’ drug store at
Sparta. Ga., a few days ago. Mr. Brown
Is a well-known and prosperous farmer
and a leading citizen of his community.
“When I began taking Tanlac," con
tinued Mr. Brown, “I was In a general
run-down condition. I had been suffer
ing for months with nervousness and
indigestion and other troubles, and
nothing in the way of medicine seemed
to 4o me any good. My appetite went
back on me entirely. My stomach was
in bad shape and what I would force
myself to eat failed to digest and didn't
seem to do me any good.
"I was also very nervous and got so
I couldn’t sleep hardly any and always
felt as bad. or worse* in the mornings
than when I went to bed at night. I
lost a great deal of weight, and didnrt
seem to have any energy. The truth is,
I was so weak and run-down I didn't
feel like doing any work and it was
just a drag from sun up till sun down.
“I could tell my troubles were leas
ing me before my first bottle of Tanlac
was gone. I kept taking it and getting
better every day. 1 have taken five bot
tles and as I have already Mid. I have
gained twenty-six pounds and feel like a
different man in every way. My appe
tite has come back to me and I can
eat anything I want and everything I
eat agrees with ms and gives me
strength. Fm not nervous now in tbs
least. I sleep like a log every night
and get up with the chickens every
morning. Tanlac has taken that weak,
worn-out feeling has left me and I can
work all day without feeling fagged
out. Tm feeling fine these days better
than I have in a long time and I csss
it all to Tanlac.”
Tantao is sold by regularly estab
lished agencies in all principal towns of
the south.—(Advt.)
