Refuses Request to
Pray for British
Arms; “God is Judge”
London.- Dr. William Carnegie. Canon
of Westminster, announced to his par-
Ishoners on "Intercession Hunday” that
he would not comply with the request
that had been made of him to pray for
the sucres* of British arms. He* said:
"Among the tilings which I hold should
not be prayed for I mention it with
gveat hesitation, hut feel it to lie rny
duty, since it is s< t forth in the seventh
section of the authorized form is the
tfluinpli of our cuise. We hold that
our cause Is righteous, but our foes are
equally convinced that righteouses Is on
their side. God in tin* judge, and wo
must pray for submission to His will,
whatever he the Issue.”
The movement of animal lovers to In
troduce a special prayer for animals into
the service also lias no support in the
higher <•■'> r«\. if at all In thy clergy of
the English church.
"I cannot sanction for use In church
the Litany which contains a prayer f<r
the animal* and speaks of them as of
fering their guileless lives" says Dr.
Gore. Bishop of Oxford. "It lias never
hern tiie custom of the church to pray
for any other thing than those wo think
at* rational. It Is a complete mistake
to suppose the orthodox churches Would
countenance any such prayers. We
can, of course, pray for men that they
may he kind to animals.”

EMPEROR CO-OPERATING
WITH MOVIES; GERMAN
PATRIOTIC VARIETY
Berlin.—Moving pictures which are
being used lo arouse the patriotic im
pulses of the Herman people, appear
to have been taken with the emperor’s
hearty co operation, for they repre
sent him talking to Ills staff, inspect
ing Ids troops and chatting with tha
crown prince very near to the cam
era. These pictures are so numerous
and clear that no photographer could
possibly have set up his camera sy
close without royal approval.
A war film which has excited much
discussion was recently displayed at
the "Fatherland,” one of the largest
theatres of its class, whose name be
fore the war was the "Piccadilly.” It
represents what is claimed to be the
British use of dum-dum bullets, and
shows a soldier twisting a cartridge
In a device on the rifle, the inference
being that British rifles are equipped
with this device.
There are many films showing dif
ferent arms of the service, and If the
cheers on one evening can he accepted

eral von llindcnburg and Captain von
Mueller of the Emden are the popular
favorites.

FUNERAL SUNDAY FOR
MR. J. J. BREOEN3ERG
Probably Oldest German-Am
erican of City Died Friday
Afternoon in His 85th Year.
Most regrotable was the death yes
terday afternoon at 6 o'clock of Mr.
J. J. Bredenberg, probably the oldest
Augusta German-American here, who
died at his residence, 203 Broad street,
after an extended illness.
Not only was Mr. Bredenberg popu
lar among the German residents of Au
gusta, but was well known and liked
by all who came in contact with him,
and he has met many since his coming
to Augusta in the year IS6I. He was
in the 85th year of his age, coming to
America in 1852, locating first in Char
leston.
He was the venerable father of Mr.
J. H. Bredenberg, and is survived by
a number of grandchildren, from Whom
a selection will be made to act as
pallbearers.
Mr. Bredenberg retired from busi
ness many years ago. In his prime
he was in the grocery business on low
er Broad street. During his residence
in America, although the best kind of
a citizen, he never lost his love for
the Fatherland.
For some time past he had been in
feeble health. However, not until sev
eral hours before he passed away was
he inconvenienced in the least. His
host of friends will attend the fune
ral. Members of German organiza
tions hero will attend in a body.
Funeral services will he conducted
from the St. Matthew Lutheran church
tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 o’clock
and Interment will follow in the city
cemetery.
FRENCH OFFICIAL
Paris (2:55 p. m.) —Continuance of
severe infantry engagements in Alsace,
but with no decisive outcome, together
with customary artillery exchanges
and a minor fight in progress near St.
Hubert, are outstanding features of the
French official report this afternoon.
The French claim an advance of 100
yards in Belgium ami they destroyed
some bridges over the Meuse near St.
Mihiel.

ple of its reasons for insisting upon
passage of the bill have not yet been
determined, one method settled upon
calls for a speaking trip in the South
by Secretary Redfield, who will de
vote hinißelf chiefly to the measure,
and President Wilson himself plans
to disci ss the hill fully in addresses
before two large national conventions
within a fortnight.
Canal Trip Plans.
Notwithstanding the program of the
republicans of the senate calls for con
tinued opposition to the shipping bill.
President Wilson still does not admit
the possibility of its failure. The fact
that officials were going ahead today
with plans for President Wilson’s trip
througli the Panama Canal to the San
Francisco Exposition following the ad
journment of congress, was taken to
indicate very clearly that administra
tion leaders have no fears of an extra
session.
Complications.
It is thought probable that argu
ments of some republican senators as
to the possibility of complications with
European countries through the pur
chase of ships of Germany or other
belligerents will he answered in ad
dresses hy administration officials hy
the statement that the administration
can be depended upon not to purchase
any vessels which would cause trou
ble.
