DIES AT AGE
ST. HELENA, Cal., July 17.—Mrs.
Ellen 0. White one of the founders of
the denomination known as Seventh
Day Adventists, died here today. She
was one of the converts of William
Miller, who In the early '40s aroused
thousands to a belief in the speedy ad
vent or second coming of Christ. Ac
cording to information given out by
the North American Division Confer
ence of the 8eventh-Day Adventists,
Mrs. White was considered by prac
tically all Seventh-Day Advenists as
their prophetess.
Born in Gorham, Cumberland
County, Maine, November 26, 1827,
she had lived to the advanced age of
87 years. Her name was Ellen Gould
Harmon, and Bhe was one of eight
children, who, like their parents be
came staunch Methodists In New Eng
land. At the age of 9 years, the girl,
who had shown remarkable mental
powers, waB struck In the face by a
stone which a schoolmate, in sheer
wantoness, had thrown at her, frac
turing the nasal bone and resulting in!
an almost fatal illness and permanent
disfigurement. The calamity, which
made her almost unrecognisable
among her friends, wore upon her
heart, and she turned with great
yearning to the worship of Christ.
In March, 1840, she first heard Wil
liam Miller, a Baptist evangelist, tell
of the second coming of Christ, which
he was then predicting for 1843. Shi
was greatly stirred by the evangelistic
message, and consecrated her life
towards spreading it, and, as she
claimed in December, 1844, God gave
her a vision of the second coming of
Christ, and added as her interpreta
tion of the Bible that it was her duty
to observe the Seventh-Day Sabbath,
as she believed it was so observed by
Christ, She and her husband, whom
she married about this time and who
was one of the believers, therefore
began the observance of the seventh
day, and taught this in their meetings <
which eventually were held all over J
the country. While they believed t
that Christ’s coming was near, they
did not believe that men knew the
i
date of the event, and bo never taught
or had any sympathy with "time-set
ting.” Her husband was James White,
a lineal descendant on his father’s
side of Peregrine White, born on the
Mayflower in the harbor of Cape Cod.
before the Pilgrims had made their
homes in the wilderness. Mr. White
died in 1881, but Mrs. White kept on
with her revelations.
A paragraph from a story given out
In official quarters as to her remark
able powers, reads:
"While In vision she was repeatedly
examined by Bkeptics, unsympathetic
physicians, and by one physician con
versant with spiritistic manifestations,
who had boasted that he could im
medately bring her out of vision, but
who was compelled to leave the house
in alarm. Other men had the same
experience. Mirrors and candles have
been held before her mouth while
talking, showing no indication of
breathing. One skeptical man held
her nostrllB tightly closed with hand
over her mouth for ten minutes with
out In any way affecting Mrs. White.
At times she arose and walked the
floor talking of what Bhe was there
beholding."
Bhe believed In the ultimate anni
hilation of the wicked and in the
sleep of the dead until the final judg
ment. She traveled extensively. Be
sides covering all of the United States,
she spent two years In Europe, and
nine years in Australia, seeking con
verts to her faith. She wrote some 40
books whose aggregate circulation is
said to have been upwards of one and
a half million copies, and her writings
were translated In 40 different
languages. Her Income which would
have been sufficient to have kept her
In ease, she used freely in the support
of needy enterprises and needy peo
ple and sacrificed ordinary pleasures,
so far as she herself was concerned.
She leaves two sons, James Ed son
White of Marshall, Mich., and William
C. White, who was the companion and
helper of his mother since the father's
death.
On February 13, 1915, Mrs. White
met with a severe accident at her
home near St. Helena, Cal. She
tripped and fell, breaking the bone
in her left thigh.

ITALIAN TRADE IS
NOT NEEDED
BERLIN, July 17—German business
circles are not particularly concerned
about the war with Italy, trade with
that country having fallen off sharply
before it threw in its fortunes with
the Entente Powers. In 1913 Ger
many's Imports from Italy amounted
to $75,000,000, and its exports thereto
$93,600,000, but the recent volume of
the war trade movement was much
less than these figures. Italy has
been taking, since the war began,
more of German iron and steel than
previously, but the German market
and those of Scandinavian countries
are now keeping the iron works so
busy that the cessation of Italian
orders is not expected to influence
the existing upward tendency of
prices. Besides these goods Germany's
exports to Italy distribute themselves
over a great variety of wares, very
few of which exceeded $1,000,000 In
value; coal amounted to $3,500,000,
and woolen goods and leather each to
nearly $3,000,000. Under ImportB, raw
silk alone represented more than one
thlrd of the whole, with $28,000,000;
raw hemp reached $3,000,000, and al
monds nearly ns much, but all other
articles were shipped In smaller
values.
It had been hoped when the war
began that Italy would prove very im
portant to Germany as an alternative
trade route with the United States
and other oversea countries, in addi
tion to Holland and the Scandlvavian
countries; but these hopes hnve not
been realized to any considerable ex
tent. Some months ago it was re
ported, for example, that hundreds of
thousands of bales of American cotton
were lying at Genoa, but very little
of it found its way to Germany. It
was claimed by the Italian authorities
that their railways were not able to
move It, but It is suspected that they
did not wish to move. Oranges, how
ever, have been coming into Germany
In the usual amounts; and as Germany
has hitherto obtained by far the larg
est part of its supplies from Spain,
it seems probable that these ship
ments have latterly been by way of
Italy.

NEW YORK, July 17.—The British passenger
steamer Orduna, which arrived here today, brings a
thrilling story of an attack made upon the vessel by
a German submarine, both shells and torpedoes being
fired, and a race for life in which the Ardunn won.
All this took place in full view of the passengers of
the Orduna who were on deck at the time.
The story' told by the Orduna hns been received
here with the most serious apprehensions, as it was
felt that the Germans had ceased to attack passenger
ships until the negotiations now pending between
the United States and Germany had been determined.
There were twenty-one American passengers upon
the boat, tin* lives of all being in extreme danger.
Fortunately the ship escaped being hit by either the
torpedo or the shells. No warning was given by the
submarine, and the attaek on the vessel was like a
lightning stroke out of a clear sky.
W ASHING TON, D. C., July 17.—The attack on
the Orduna, tin* details of which were immediately
wired to the State Department upon the arrival of
the ship in New York, has caused' a tremendous sen
sation among the government officials, and has dis
tinctly shockcsl them. It'was but yesterday that
Lansing had a conference with BernstorfT, the Ger
man ambassador, in which the latter assured the
Secretary of State that the attack made on the
Lusitania would not be repeated on any other pas
senger ship. The belief had taken shape here, and
was rapidly growing into conviction that while Ger
many might not formally yield to the American
demands, yet she was conducting her submarine war
fare along the lines insisted* upon by the United
States. This country has always insisted that it was
inhumane, and contrary to civilization to torpedo a
■
passenger ship without giving sufficient warning for
♦ he passengers to escape. Tin* new phase of the
situation caused by the Orduna incident will be:
discussed between President Wilson and Lansing on
Monday and the cabinet will meet the next day.
NLM YORK, July 17.—Although somewhat,
reluctant to talk for publication, the captain of the1
Orduna stated that the attack on his ship was made
hy two submarines, acting simultaneously. There
were 220 passengers on board. The captain intimated'
thnt a sailing vessel with the American flag painted 1
on both sides was used as a decoy by the submarines. '
The attack was witnessed by most of the passengers,
ns many of them were on deck at the time, including ,
some of lie Americans. Depositions will be taken by L
agents of the State Department and our government
will he fully advised about the details.
