Mr. H. C. Webb of Houston, D. P. A., of
the Illinois Central Lines in response to an
invitation from the Chaplain of the 11th
Infantry gave a very entertaining travelogue
to the men of that regiment on Sunday
night. The subjects treated were of very
great interest to the thousand officers and
men who were in attendance for the itin-
erary brought many of them to the vari-
ous parts of the country that they called
home.
He has given the closest attention and
cordially invited to come again. The open
air picture show of this regiment is very
popular and quite a number of the citizens
from the city are to be found on the out-
skirts of the crowd, sitting in their auto-
mobiles and viewing the really good pic-
tures that are thrown on the screen each
night.
The new Livingstone Cafe, under man-

Troop D, Sixth Cavalry, and Company
A
D, Eleventh Infantry, which are to partici-
pate in the tests of automatic machine
guns to be conducted by the achine board
at Leon Springs, left Texas City about 6
o’clock Monday morning. The first day’s
march covered 12 miles and ended at Dick-
inson where the troops will camp for the
night.
The route to Leon Springs, which has
been outlined in these columns, follows
closely the Goodrich route for automobiels
there being but one or two slight variations.
It is 321% miles long and twenty-four days,
counting resting days, will be required to
cover the trip. It is planned to reach Leon
Springs on August 19, after two days of
rest at Fort Sam Houston.
Major Walter G. Penfield, the head of
the machine gun board, is now at Spring-
field, Mass., but will leave in time to join
the other members of the board, now march-
ing with the Texas City troops, at Leon
Springs. Upon arrival at Leon Springs
tests will be made of The Vickers and
Benet types, of automatic machine gun with
a view to determing which shall be adopted
by the army. These tests will probably
consume three or four weeks, at the end of
which time the troops will return to Texas
City and the board dissolved.
Peekskill, N. Y., July 27—Practice by the
state militiamen in the presence of many
prominent military authorities marked the
opening of the new rifle range here today.
Adjoining the Peekskill camp, where the
guardsmen of the state militia have for
years held their maneuvers, the range is
ideally located. Owing to complaints of the
residents of South Nyack and Grand View,
the old range at Blauvelt was abandoned.
It cost the state $475,000, while the new
one, authorized by the legislature during
its recent session, was finished at an outlay
of about $18,000.
Rev. L. H. Bradford, of Brazoria, preach-
ed last night at the Central Methodist
Episcopal Church, South. Mr. Bradford
was formerly pastor of this church and is
sat present here with his wife visitng at the

London, July 27.—England to-
day took the initiative step in an
effort to avoid a European war
by suggesting mediation to
France, Germany and Italy.
Following reports received from
Berlin that the Kaiser was in
conference with the cabinet it is
thought that mediation is likely
but the strong feeling existing
between Servia and Austria will
not be appeased without loss of
blood.

(By United Press Staff Correspondent)
Vienna, July 27—Archduke Karl Franz
Joseph, merely a Major of Infantry in the
Austrian army at present, who may be call-
ed to the throne any day, has been set at
work to “cram” in order to fit himself in
the shortest possible time to guide the des-
tines of 26 nationalities in the dual mon-
archy of Austria Hungary.
Announcement of the promotion of Arch-
duke Karl from Major to “Colonel” is ex-
peoted daily. The young man who sudden-
ly and unexpectedly moved to within per-
haps a few months of the throne, through
the murder of Archduke Ferdinand, has
been given a staff of military instructors
and officials to initiate him into the mys-
teries of statesmanship and government
At the opening meeting tonight the dele-
gates will be formally welcomed by Sir
Rickman J. Godlee, chairman of the London
committee, and by United States Ambassa-
dor Page, and will listen to an address by
the retiring president, Dr. Geo. E. Brewer,
of New York. During the next five days the
visitors will be given opportunity of an in-
timate study of the latest British clinical
methods at demonstrations to be conducted
in the various London hospitals, of which
there will be an average of twenty a day.
General sessions will be held each evening
at the Savoy and Cecil hotels at which pa-
pers will be read and discussed by the fore-
most surgeons of both England and America
policies. He is burning the midnight oil
and is devoting himself to these studies in
a way that is earning him much-praise and
admiration.
Archduke Karl Franz Joseph, who will be
27 years of age on August 17, is the big
question mark not only to Austria Hungary
but also to Germany. It is considered cer-
tain Emperor Franz Joseph who will be 84
will not reign much longer and that the
young Archduke will soon be Emperor.
He is practically an unknown quantity.
Press and public have paid little attention
to him. It was known that he was in line
for the throne but none thought his turn
would come under 15 to 25 years and in
that time they would learn to know their

Rev. W. H. Crain, of Houston, preached
yesterday at the Texas City Church of
Christ to a large and appreciative audience.
He took as his subject “Saved in Christ,”
dividing it into four distinctive steps. The
first step towards salvation, as told of by
Rev. Crain, is the having of Faith in Christ
Romans X-10 and I Corinthians 1-30. The
second step is Repentance, 2nd Corinthians
VII-10, and Acts .IV-11-12. Third is Con-
fession, Romans X-9-10, and fourth in Bap-
tism into Christ, Romans VI-3-5, Galatians
VI-3-27.
Rev. Crain preached a most forceful ser-
mon and his subject was exhaustively dis-
cussed by him, and pressure brought to
bear on the four steps towards the salva-
tion of the human soul. Rev. Crain
preaches in Texas City once a month and
everyone is invited to attend the services
at this church.

Tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday night,
Captain Lawrence and his wife, will enter-
tain the patrons of the Orpheum Theater
with their original creations musical. It
will be remembered that it was Lawrence
who was chief trumpeter to Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, and it was he who blew the
charge for the attack on San Juan Hill
when Teddy’s rough riders took that strong-
hold from the Spaniards back in 1898.
It was also Captain Lawrence who sound-
ed taps over the grave of Louis Oscar Freid
at Gretna, La., the first to fall in the battle
at Vera Cruz when the American troops
occupied that city in April of this year.
Captain and Mrs. Lawrence have native
military costumes of twelve nations of the
world and will sound the bugle calls of these
nations as a part of their program. The
management of the Orpheum has made no
increase in the price of admission and gives
this extra attraction to its patrons as a show
of apprciation of their continued patronage.

The annual picnic of the United Spanish
War Veteran Camp of the 11th Infantry
took place on Saturday.
Acting upon the suggestion of the Chap-
lain, the committee chartered the “Ethel
B” of the Bailey Line and about ninety of
the members together with the band start-
ed for San Jacinto through the Houston
Ship Channel.
Music and a general good time charac-
terized the trip and the response on the
part of the river craft, dredges, pleasure
parties, light house keepers and families
along the shore to the strains of music was
cordial.
Arriving at the battle ground about nine
thirty, two hours were very profitably
spent in studying this very interesting field
and a little history given by Captain Ben-
nett and Mr. Williams, caretakers gave a
very vivid impression of the bravery of
General Houston and his little band.
The return trip was without incident.
The Commissary was plentifully supplied
and all were taken care of.
