There were fully 4,600 people in the tabernacle, the largest weekday afternoon audience he has had yet. He preached a good sermon, but there was just a little of the “ultimate ounce” lacking. Forty-five hundred persons were there, but a certain one was absent, | for Mrs. Sunday was out addressing | an audience of women at the Happy Hollow club, It is very rare for Mrs. Bunday to be away from the taber- nacle meetings. “Billy” wants her there. He says he can't preach with- out her, “Ma"” is the “power behind the throme,” the mainspring and fountain of “Billy's” ability, the earthly inspiration of his work. ‘The opening was made by a multi-mil- Jonalre, if_you please, R. P. Broadhead of Wilkesbarre, Pa.. who eame all the way to Omaha for the sole purpose of visiting the Sundays, following his cus- tom of visiting them once at each place where they are working. “Billy" prefaced his sermon with a few pertinent remarks about religlous col- lections. Discusses the Collection. “There are 4,000 people here at least,” ho sald. “If you went to a 10-cent movie you'd pay M00. If you went to Ringling's or Barnum & Balley's you'd pay B0 cents aplece, but since you're in church I ex- pect it'll average about a cent and a halt.” “In the average church two-thirds of the people don't give anything toward expenses,, You don't ride on trains for nothing or get groceries for nothing, and Just try to belong to a lodge for nothing und see what happens. But they throw the doors of the church open and so many deadbeat thelr way that usually the churches are behind in money mat- ters. I never could understand it. Why, 1t ought to be a pleasure and a privilege to give.” “Billy” made these remarks after 'the collection had been taken. His theme was the Pentecostal revival, ‘when 3,000 were converted, and he dwelt upon the power of God, that made this wonderful revival possible and natural. He heaped scorn and dlsgust on the bickerings and di{ferences that rack so many churches of today, and on the laziness of chugeh people in God's work. “You will-maKe any sacrifice for your business,” he said, ‘“but when it comes to the church you don't work.

LONDON, Sept, §.~For the tiyst time in many weeks the Russians, fccording to their own statements, have inflicted a severe defeat on their opponents. The battle of Tues- day near Tarnopol, seventy miles east of Lemberg and near the Galiclan frontier, while not conclusive, is re- garded in England as indicating that the Russians are reaching the stage where they purpose striking back after their long retreat. The Teutonic forces engaged in this battle included not only Aus- trian, but German, forces. The Rus- slans maintain that 8,000 prisoners, exclusive of the dead and wounded, measure the extent of thelr victory, and that it would have been more pronounced but for their inferiority in artillery.

" to Dr. Dumba's explanation of his intercepted letted to Vienna outlin- ing plans for handicapping plants in this country making war supplies for the allles, BULLETIN. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Unless the Austrian government itself takes some step in the case of Dr, Constan- tin Dumba, its ambassador here, the diplomatic incident growing out of the disclosure of the ambassador's connection with plans for hampering manufacturers of war munitions in the United States probably wiil be called to the attention of the Vienna foreign office. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-—Secre- tary Lansing has cancelled the pass- port of James F. J. Archibald, the American correspondent upon whom British secret service men found communieations from Dr. Constantin Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian am- bassador, to his toreign office on the subject of fomenting strikes in Amer- fcan munitions plants. Archibald now is at Rotterdam and American Minister Van Dyke has been in- strticted to issue an emergency pass- port to permit his return to the United States, when the Department of Justice probably will be called on to declde if he has violated any law of the United States in acting as a messenger for one of the Huropean belligerents. Cancellation of Archibald's passport is the first official action n a dipiomatic situation which It has been suggested might possibly extend so far as to cause the departure of Dr. Dumba from this country, American government officlals were amazed at the disclosures which followed Archibald’s detention at Falmouth and were particularly annoyed that an Amer- lean passport had been used to carry on what practically amounted to military information. Dr. Dumba has made his explanations to Secretary Lansing, saying the only instructions from his government were to give widest publicity to the decree an- nouncing enforcement of the Austro- Hungarian penal code aguinst subjects who engaged in the manufacture of war munitions for their country’s enemies. He contended he was fully within his rights in warning his countrymen. This government's decision, it is under stood, will not be reached until more documentary = evidence comes . from London.
