ATLANTIC CITY, IT. J., Oct. 31.—
"Many of the deacons of our churches, |
particularly the Baptist, are nothing
more than moral thermos bottles and
fireless cookers, warm only because
they happen to be already heated,”
said Dean Shaller Matthews, of the
University of Chicago at the eighty-
fifth annual New Jersey Baptist Con.

"The most serious thing faced by
the church is that furnished by the
deacons, many of whom are just mor
al parasites, hanging on for appear
ances and really threatening the w*ork
of the ministers.
"The poorest church is usually the
one about which you find a cordon of

Delegate Appears in 45-Cent Hat

Declaring that the Democratic
State Executive Committee is trying
to intimidate the voters of Georgia by
threatening them with disfranchise
ment if they do not vote for Senator
Hoke Smith at Tuesday's elections.'
Charles W. McClure, Progressive can
didate for Senator Smith's place in
the United States Senate, issued a
statement Saturday, In which he ar
raigned the committee and vigorous
ly denounced what he terms "Hoke
Smlthism.”
“Things have reached a critical
stage in Georgia,” said Mr. McClure,
“if sixteen men can elt in judgment
on the millions of voters of this State
and disfranchise them because they
will not obey orders. But that is what
the Democratic committee Is threat
ening to do with its State-wide proc
lamations that every man must vote
the way he did at the recent pri
mary.
“They are trying to scare the voters
of this State into voting for Hoke
Smith and Tom Hardwick, and If the
voters permit themselves to be forced
to indorse these candidates they are
going to put the stamp of their ap
proval on the biggest election fraud
that has been perpetrated in the
United States since Theodore Roose
velt was robbed of the nomination for
President at the Chicago convention.
And that fraud was the stealing of
the nomination for Senator from Gov
ernor Slaton, the man with the most
delegates in the convention, and the
man, by all the rules of fair play, who
should have been nominated.
"The Macon convention showed
Hoke Smlthism at its finest. Every
body knows that Hoke Smtih dom.-
nated the convention, and that he
nominated Hardwick, and everybody
knows that Hardwdck, if he reaches
the Senate, will hardly dare to get a
drink of water without getting per
mission from Hoke Smith. If Hard
wick and Hoke Smith are elected to
the Senate, Georgia will not have two
Senators—she will have none. But
Hoke Smith will have two Senators In
the United States Senate.'
Mr. McClure declares that his
chances for being returned a victor
over Senator Smith are growing bet
ter every day, and expressed the opin
ion that the voters of Georgia are go
ing to take advantage of the opportu-
r "y to repudiate Senator Smith. He
declared that he has been receiving
scores of letters every day from for
mer Smith supporters who have de
serted the Senator’s standard and are
working for the Progressive ticket.
Many of them, he declared, are men
who have been high in the councils of
the Smith wing of the Democratic
party.
Says Voters Are Tired.
“The people all over the State are
beginning to realize that Senator
Smith talks a lot and does little. They
are tired of hearing promises fall by
the scores from the Ups of this bom
bastic disciple of pomposity—prom
ises that are never fulfilled and that
Senator Smith never intends to fulfill.
“The Georgia voters have not for
gotten that Senator Smith promised,
lnferentlally, at least, 12M>-cent cot
ton, and they know that cotton Is
selling at 7 cents. Senator Smith also
promised the State that the reserve
bank in Atlanta, for the establishment
of which, by the way, he takes all the
credit, would be opened by August 1,
and they know that it hasn't opened
yet, and that it will not be actually
ready for business before the first of
the year. Senator Smith knew the
bank could not open August 1. Why
did he promise it?
“The farmers of Georgia are not co-
Ing to forget, either, that when the
Eure, ean war ibroke out Senator
Smith went squarely back on them,
and until I entered the race against
him he made no effort to do anything
for the State. And what has he done
since? Staged a vaudeville show m

Makes Assault Upon Political
Histories of Progressives and
Denies Any Chicanery at the
Recent Convention in Macon.
Thomas W. Hardwick, Democratic
candidate for the unexpired term of
Senator A. O. Bacon, gave out a
lengthy statement Saturday night, in
which he severely attacks the candi
dacies of C. W. McClure and G. It.
Hutchens, Progressive Republicans,
for the Senate.
Mr. HardMck’s card, In part, reads:
"To the Democrats of Georgia:
“At the August primary Senator
Hoke Smith was nominated by you
for the long-term Senatorshlp by an
overwhelming majority of all the
votes cast.
“In this same primary Governor
Slaton, Mr. Felder, Mr. Hutchens, Mr.
Cooper and myself were candidates
for the nomination for the short-term
Senatorshlp. No one of us having
received a majority of the delegate
vote (or the # popular vote, for that
matter), under the rules prescribed
by the State Committee, the contest
for the nomination was thrown Into
our State convention, and I was nomi
nated.
“Since the nominations, Senator
Smith and myself are confronted with
opposition from gentlemen who style
themselves ‘Bull Moose' nominees, al
though they were named as such by
neither primary nor convention, but
by a handful of discredited and un
successful politicians.
Calls Them “Adventurers."
“Mr. McClure, who opposes Senator
Smith, participated in the primary of
August 19, voting ballot No. 80, at
Precinct A. of the Ninth Ward In At
lanta, Ga. Mr. Hutchens, who op
poses me in the election, not only
voted In the Democratic primary, but
also figured in it and in the conven
tion as an unsuccessful candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
Senate.
“How, then, stands the record?
“These men, McClure and Hutch
ens, who advertise themselves as
standing for 'honest politics,’ are
nothing on earth except cheap ad
venturers, who bolt a primary in
which they both participated—one as
a voter, the other as both voter and
candidate.
But these gentlemen, in the litera
ture that they have distributed
through the State, undertake to Jus
tify thetr own dishonest conduct by
an attack on the nominations of both
Senator Smith and mhyself. In the
half of Mr. McClure, it is contended
that Senator Smith deceived the
farmers of Georgia by promising
them 12-cent cotton. This statement
is a plain, unvarnished falsehood. Let
me quote briefly from Senator Smith's
statement of October 29, 1914:
“It is hardly necessary for me to
say that the statement that I prom
ised you 12-cent cotton is utterly
false. «It would have been childish in
me to make a promise of that kind,
because you knew that I had no pow
er to control the price of cotton, and
it would have been absurd for me to
assume such a control. If I had the
power to control it, you would cer
tainly be receiving 12 cents for your
cotton now.”
Hoped for Cotton Aid.
He did say in his campaign for the
nomination that he believed there
would be $150,000,000 of additional
currency In the nine Southern cot
ton-growing States with which to aid
the farmers in carrying over their
surplus cotton. That he believed it,
and earnestly worked to accomplish
it, not even his most bitter foe can
truthfully deny.
But It Is contended In behalf of
Mr. Hutchens' candidacy that he
ought to be elected as a protest
against my nomination by the Ma
con convention.
In the first place, let me say that
the assaults made on the Macon con
vention are utterly groundless. That
convention simply elected the officers
and nominated the candidates for

PASADENA, Oct. 31.—More than for

science class which has been organized
at the Pasadena High School. They
will be taught to cook, taking practical
ly the same course as the daughters of
many of them who are pupils at the
school.
The first obstacle which was encoun
tered was one which beset the path of
young mothers. They found that they
would be handicapped because they have
no place to leave their babies while they
work with the frying pan and egg beat
er. Jerome O. Cross, principal, plans
to get around this by establishing a

Georgia Federation Devises Strik
ing Means of Promoting Inter
est in South’s Crop.
Clubwomen of Georgia, and there
are 20,000 of them, have pledged
themselves enthusiastically to use
cotton in every possible form during
the coming year.
The pledge was taken at the annual
convention, held in Albany last week.
The convention, in fact, devoted a
great deal of attention to "boosting"
the South’s staple, clever means be
ing used to wake rMerest in the prob
lem.
Mrs. Nellie Peters Black, repre
senting the Free Kindergarten Sys
tem in Atlanta, made a motion that
every woman in the State wear cot
ton petticoats, and that every club
woman in the State make at once
one cotton * garment for the Belgium
sufferers. The motion carried.
The c<*tton exhibit, which was
started with the idea of having three
exhibition rooms, ended with about
twenty booths, in which were dis
played a splendid collection of cotton
fabrics from the Georgia mills and
factories and specimens of cotton
weaves and hand-made cotton goods
over a century old. Side by side
the modern and the old were placed
In departments hung with cotton
draperies of the most attractive
weaves and designs.
On the afternoon of the opening of
the cotton exhibit the delegates at
tended dressed in cotton dresses. No
ticeable among the attractive cos
tumes were those of Miss Pauline
Barbre, of Albany, who acted as one
of the pages at the convention, i^i a
"cotton costume of to-day,” to con
trast with "old-time” gowns shown.
Mrs. Frank Fleming, of Augusta, at
tended in a hat made of cotton and
trimmed with the wings of a white
pigeon she herself had grown.

hat cost 45 cents and was designed by
Mrs. Bell, of Augusta. Mrs. Nellie
Peters Black wore a beautiful cotton
coat suit with blouse of cotton lace,
which had all the semblance of a silk
garment. The cotton goods move
ment was enthusiastically indorsed
by the delegates.
The report of several of the com
mittees showed that the money taken
in and distributed by the clubs in the
federation during the past year
amounted to $148,000, and that every
cent had been * expended In uplift
work, which included scholarships,
the industrial schools of the State,
the improvement of the railroad
routes, the planting of trees and
bulbs, and the bettering of health
conditions in every avenue of en
deavor.

manicure their finger nails and keep
their shoes shined and their hair
neatly combed. Cosmetics and rouge
on the faces of the girl clerks are
forbidden. The clerks meet dally and
discuss the rules, but so far there
has been no open mutiny.
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—News of the resignation of the Italian
Cabinet was accepted by prominent Italians here to-night as in
dicating that Italy is about to enter the war. The Cabinet that has
just fallen was committed to maintaining Italian neutrality. Two
members, Signor Rubini, head of the Treasury Department, and
Signor Cavasola, the Minister of Finance, were especially opposed
to war.
In the rearrangement of the Cabinet, following the death of
the Premier, Marquis di San Giulano, a disagreement arose between
the new Secretary of War, and Rubini, the former demanding a
large sum for war preparations which the head of the Treasury
Department refused to sanction. The exact amount demanded by
the War Secretary has not been stated.
It is believed here that the entrance of Tujkey into the war has
brought this dispute to a head and that the present crisis presages
the formation of a war Cabinet of which Rubini and Cavasola will
not be members. .

Result of Attack on Calais
Special Cable to The Sunday American.
FLUSHING, HOLLAND, Oct. 31.—British warships are again
bombarding the Germans along the Belgian coast, after a lull of
two days. They have driven away the German submarines and de
stroyers that have been creeping along the coast, and are now
pouring a rain of shells upon the German positions.
LONDON, Oct. 31.—A dispatch from Berlin via Copenhagen
to The Daily Mail says the German general staff has decided that
the German army in Poland must fall back to the Silesian frontier
and remain there until Calais has been taken, when several corps
will be transferred from France to the Eastern frontier.
Turkish warships are bombarding the big Russian naval sta
tion at Sebastopol, in the Black Sea, according to a Rome dispatch
to The Star. The dispatch also says that Russian warships have at
tacked Turkish ships in the Black Sea. A mine-laying ship which
destroyed and sunk a collier was captured.

TOKIO, Oct. 31.—The grand assault upon the German forts at
Tsing-tao was begun at dawn to-day by both land and sea. While
Japanese warships in Kiao-chau Bay hurled a storm of projectiles
from the water side, the great batteries on the land side thundered
against the German works.
It was officially announced by the War Office at noon that a
