The Secretary of State at the same time made a plea for wider dis- cretionary powers for the President in directing this country's foreign affairs in times of international dis- turbance. The suggestion was in- terpreted by some observers as paving the way for an Administration re- quest of the next Congress for a \ more far-reaching but less rigid neu- trality law than the present act. The existing law expires at bhel end of February. Congressional ef- forts already under way may extend it. The Secretary’s address was read into the microphone by William Phillips, Undersecretary of State. Hull is out of the city at present, The. Neutrality Act Butomatically places an embargo on American shipments of munitions and imple- ments of war to belligerents as soon as the President proclajms that a state of war exists. APPROVES HULL’S STAND GENEVA, Nov. 7.—League of Na- tions circles gave hearty approval to the proposal of Upited States Sec- retary of State Cordell Hull to en- act more elastic neutrality statutes. International quarters believe that the real hope of a permanent peace rests with world-wide cooperation in removing causes for war.

QUAKE REFUGEES LINE UP TO RECEIVE BLANKETS Noted Advocate of ‘Hit the': Sawdust Trail, Pass- es Away, Chicago Willlam A. “Billy” Sunday, aged 72 years, noted cvargelist, died sud-. donly- last night' as the result of angina pectoris, at the home of Wll-l liam J. Thompson, his brother-iln- | law. He came here last Sunday Bight with his wife from Winona Lake, Indiana, for a short visit. Shortly after 8 o'clock last night, after din- ing, he went upstairs com . that he’was ill. He died before & physician arrived. Mrs. Sunday said her husband had a severe attack of heart trouble last May. Meanwhile he attempted to keep up his revival work but his strength waned steadily during the summer, ] Sunday lived quietly at Winona Lake at his ranch at Hood River, Oregon. . i Survivors, besides the widow, in- | clude two sons, Willlam Jr:, and Paul, both of Los Angeles; a broth- er, H. E. Sunday, North Dakota resi- ' dent, and a nephew, son of H, K./ Sunday, who is manager of the Hoof", River ranch. i Planned Alacka Trip Several years ago, while visiting lon the Pacific Coast, it was an- nounced that he planned a trip to Alaska, intending to visit all coast cities, going to the interfor to Fair- banks, up the Yukon River to Daw- son and out via Whitehorse. This trip was abandoned, it is said, when he was taken ill and went east to his home at Winona Lake. ! Of Dramatic Type The Rev. Willlam A. Sunday, fa- niiliarly known throughout the coun- try as “Billy” Sunday, was the orig- { inator of the most dramatic and sen- sational type of religious service ever introduced to the American people. | Turning from professional baseball when he was at the height of his career, he became one of the most successful evangelists in the country and even the large cities were unable | to‘provide anditoriums of sufficient capacity to accommodate the crowds meetings. Tt was not that Sunday presenteds anything new to his.audiences, but | it was the manner in which he de- livered his sermons that made them reach their mark; cause the sinners to repent and then impel thousands of them to “hit the sawdust trail.” The two principal objects of his at- tack were the devil and rum. He began his sermons in the ordinary religious manner of any preacher, but when he warmed up to his sub- ject the entire aspect of the meet- ing and preacher were changed. He worked hard with his voice and his bodv; so hard that on many occas- ions it was necessary for him to re- move his coat and vest to enable him to proceed with any degree of comfort. At times he went further and took off his collar and necktie. Method Popular ‘This form of preaching seemed to meet the approval of Sunday’s au- diences, and apparently as popular, if not more so, was his language. In his sermons he discarded to a large extent Biblical and religious lan- guage and resorted to the vernacu- lar, especially when he desired to place emphasis on his point. On these occasions he used words and phrases that never before found a place in a religious sermon. He was ably assisted in his revival meetings by his wife, who became familiarly known to his audiences as Ma Sun- day. ‘These revival meetings were con- ducted by Sunday in many of the larger cities of the United States, in each of which his converts ran intoi the thousands. A feature in each campaign was the sawdust trail, which the converts were invit- ed to “hit” after listening to Sunday's sermons for two or three days and nights. The converts would follow the trail to the platform, where they would make their eonfession.

T—Foreign office officials indicated today that Tl Duce and Sir Eric Drummond, British Am- bassador to Italy, would discuss con- slon between’ Britain and Italy over the Mediterranean area. The Brit- ish government denied the report from Paris that Britain and Musso- Iini had already settled their differ- ences. The German government it was disclosed, has gone further than de- ciding to forbid profiteering. A for- eign office spokesman said the third Reich had placed an embargo on shipments of arms and ammunition to belligerent nations before the League of Nations acted. The British hailed the action of Germany in forbidding profiteering and export of war materials while Italy interpreted this to mean Ger- many would refuse to allow any more than expon’ in the normal course of trade.
