He called a spade a spade and in his references to matters of com- mon knowledge he used terms not generally accepted in polite soclety nor seen in the public print. With characteristic facility he dealt in lan- guage that would cause the arrest of any person using the same language on the street or in a public place, The crowd was one of the largest of the local campaign. It was generally understood that the evangelist had a unique vocabulary for his men-only meet- ings and during his discourse on “‘Chick- ens Come Home to Roost” he brought forth applause, laughter and wonderment. Several thousands of men were unable to gain admittance even to the standing room section, which was crowded. “Billy" Runday put his best efforts into his words. He ripped off his collar and tie and turned down his shirt collar and the perepiration trickled down to his belt line. One hundred and seventy-four trail- hitters signed the cards and came for- ward in response to the invitation. C~llea During the trail gelist put on his coat to avold catching cold, for he was dripping with perspira- tlon. He stood on the topmost part of the pulpit while he delivered his entreaties to men to come forward. “Come on, men! Come on, men! Say ‘I do, “Bill,” by the grace of God.' Bvery father, husband, son, brother, come-for- ward. If you think it is unmanly, e don't come forward,” were examples of his exhortat Another for men will be held next Sunday afternoon, when the subject will bs “The Devil's Boomerang Up to Date.” On Sunday afternoon after next Mr. Sunday will speak on “Booze,” and on that occasion two meetings will Be held for men.

LONDON, Sept. 19.—Russian mili- tary experts believe that an excep- tionally important strategical period has begun on the Russian north and west fronts, according to a semi-of- ficial statement {ssued in Petrograd. | It 18 said that everything leads to the belief that the already desperate bat- section will shortly become a general conflict, greater than anything fought since the battle of Warsaw, The city of Vilna, which the Rus- sians have held so stubbornly, has been partially surrounded by German troops and its fall seems not far dis- tant.

SEVERAL POINTS' | NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—The end | |of today's brief business session | { found the situation unchanged with | respect to the variance of np|nlun! over the proposed Anglo-French credit loan, except perhaps that some of the financiers were adhering more | firmly to the idea that banks sub-| seribing to the big loan should re- celve terms better than those given to the investor, Over this and the matter of in- cluding munitions of war within the | scope of the loan’s operations, there was still marked difference of opin- fon between some American bankers | and the Anglo-French financial com- mission. These bankers want to have munitions excluded from the list of | exports to be paid from the proceeds | of the loans, it is reported, while the commission {s said to be of the opin- fon that munitions should be In- cluded. Notwithstanding many rumors to the contrary, there was every Indication to- night that an adjustment of differences over these and other minor proposals was still far from accomplishment, Dark Pletare Painted.

Today, nine days after the commission’'s arrival here, the fmpression seemed to be gaining ground that perhaps this dark ploture wans painted with a purpose, and that in reality neither Great Britain nor France | would let detalls of minor importance shut to them the door of the only great world market now open.

SAYS NOT GIVEN A FAIR SHOW NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Dr. Con- stantin T. Dumba, Austro-Hungarian ambassador to the United States, whose recall has been asked by this government because of his admitted proposal to Instigate strikes in Amer- fcan munition plants, defends his action in a lengthy letter sent to Secretary Lansing at Washington last Friday, and made public by the Ambassador here tonight. Dr. Dumba protests against the request for his recall as unjust and complains of the restrictions imposed by this government upon his com- munications with his home govern- ment. He says that the diplomatic representatives of the allles in this country have uncensored use of the cables, a privilege which is denled him. Dr. Dumba takes exception to Sec tary Lansing's charge that he “confessed to having conspired to bring about strikes In American munition works” and de- clures that he has communicated with asking for a leave of absence that he may explain his posi- tion. Why U, 8. Acted, The action of the Washington govern- t requesting the recall of Dr. Dumba was taken after it had received informa- tion from a copy of a letter the am- bassador had sent to his government through James F. J. Archibald, an Amer- lean citizen, traveling under an American passport. When Archibald’s mission was Ameoriean bankers feel, for Great Britain and France to make concessions. The first proposal—that there would be no collateral—entirely upset all the calou- lations made by financiery here in ad- vance of the commission's arrival. The bankers gave in and the commission won on that T Amonnt of the Loan, revealed the ambassador admitted hav- ing entrusted Archibald with the letter to Vienna bearing on his plans for with- drawing Austro-Hungarian laborers and handicapping American plants making war munitions for the allies. The ambassador then called on Secre- tary Lansing and explained his actions, The request for his recall followed, in a Bforts to give nameés of donators were abandoned in large measure. ‘‘Just call the amounts,” said Rev.

BERLIN, Aug. 16—Confiscation of a part of the German beer production is a possible, though not probable, step to be expected because of the abnormal day. Confiscation will be resorted to by the government only In case the brewer- fes fall to set aside a certaln percentage of their normal production—2 per cent— for the use of the army. Even the contemplation of such & step indicates the importance which beer has in Germany and puts. it into exactly the same category with bread and meat. In the seml-official announcement deny- Ing that any confiscation is contemplated immediately, it is definitely stated that this step will become necessary only if the brewerles, contrary to expectation, fall to supply voluntarily that amount of the brew which is regarded as “Indis- pensable,” “With the strongly patriotic feelin that inspire all branches of our people,” continues the announcement, “it is as- sumed without question that erfes will bear present conditions in mind and will be willing to do their toward the well-being of our troops." The report adds that the soldlers have to buy the “beer which s dispensable out of their own pockets, a circumstance which of necessity dictates to the army authorities in their establishment of prices pald or to be pald.
