STORK ON WAY TO HAGUE PALACE Congregauonalists of Pittsburg have little doubt that the missionaries killed in Adana belonged chiefly to their denomination. These rersons worked under the auspices of the American board, the official forign missionary body of that church. The Reformed Presbyterian Church has no missionaries accredited to Adana proper, but aeveral located at Mersina frequently work In that city. Local represf ritatives. however, express the greatest fears for the safety of 1-communicants living in Adana.

The Congregationalist is the only denomination owning property in Adana and for this reason members of that church are particularly fearful that W. X. Chambers, who has headquarters there, may have been killed. 12c Pmoked Meats. I back strip Hams 1 Bar-on clear) 18 lbs.
