METHODISTS JELD FOR ALL
Bishop Henderson Says They Are
Responsible for the Entire
Evangelical World.
HAS INCREASED VERY RAPIDLY
"I believe that the Methodist church is
responsible before God for the entire
e angelical world," declared Bishop Theo
dore 8. Henderson addressing the Metho
dist pastors Monday morning Immedi
ately following his arrival from Lincoln.
"The Methodist church has gone ahead
iu the last two years at mure than twice
Its usual rate of increase," he said. "Up
tn that time we had an increase of about
2 per cent per annum. In 1914 we In
creased nearly 4H per cent, adding about
165,000 to our membership In this country. '
The bishop mentioned a campaign which
he hopes to put Into operation and which
he believes will add- 200,000 members to
the Methodist church In the Vnlted Ptates
be tween Easter, 1915, . and Faster, 1916.
Details of this plan are not complete.
To lleln Monday.
He also urged co-operation within cah
church In the -coming "Billy"' Sunday
campaign.
'The greatest good to the people of
Omaha will come, not during the cam
paign, but before It and after It." he said.
He introduced the pastors to the "prayer
cards" which ' he recommends. Under
this system each church member la sup
plied with a card containing the names
of half a dosen or more persons for whom
they are to pray and work.
In Elkhart, Ind., in the great revival
there in Dr. Wade's church every one of
the conversions wss that of a person
whose name was on one of these cards,
including the president of the Central
Labor union," he said.

TURK CHIEF'S BLUFF WORKS
Porte's Commander Prevent Bom

His News.
CANNOT FIND THE DYNAMITE
(Correspondence of the Associated Frees. )
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 28. -A cor
respondent of the Taswlr-I-Esklar sends
a nunber of episodes from the bombard
ment of the Turkish roast north of the
city of Alexandrette.. Ono tells how tue
threatened bombardment of the city was
averted.
After shelling the railroad line near
Pajas, a British cruiser appeared befoio
Alexandrette, where,- meanwhile, the two
locomotives of a train which had been
partly demolished by British shells also
arrived. The comramamVr of tho British
vessel demanded the surrender of the
garrison cf Alexandrette and the transfer
of all arms In the city within eighteen
hours under p 'natty of bombardment of
all public buildings.
The reply made by the Turkish com.
mander wan that for each Turk killed
he would hang an Englishman. In the
end It was arranged that the blowing
up of the two locomatlves which has es
caped the bombardment at Pajas would
settle the matter.
The ctrrespondent speaks of the lot o-
motives ss "culpable." but does not ex -
plain she reason why he uses this term,
rsn't Find Dynnmlle.
Later in the day the Turkish com-1
n,nder .nd word i,. the mitlsh cruiser
that he could not find any dynamite for
the blowing up of the locomotives. All
dynamite had been sent to Damascus, he
asserted. The commander of the British
cruiser then offered to supply enough
explos;ves tor the destruction of the two
locomotives.
Whllo these pourparlers were In pro
gress, a Turkish locomotive engineer had
rpiietly steamed to Pajam, hooked his
engine to the partly demolished, but still
mobile train and then made off In the
direction of Merclna. When the English
heard of this they made the two loco
motiven in Alexandrette useless, and
then steamed back to rajas, too late,
however, to reach the train with their
guns. VMth throttle wide open the Turk
ish engineer was well away toward the j
Interior when tha British cruiser arrived
off Pajas.
Joined by Crnlaer.
To make the humiliation of the British
more complete they had meanwhile 'been
joined by the Russian orulscr "Askold."
When the two returned to Alexandrette
they found that the commander of the
city still insisted that for each Turk
killed In the proposed bombaiament an
Englishman would be killed, not by break-
lng hie neck at tho end of the rope, but
by strangulation, possibly, the most hor-
riblo form of death. Checkmated, the
two cruisers steamed for other porta.

ROME, Feb. 1. Troops with' fired !

establish order at a meeting which had
been organised by senators, members of
the chamber of deputies and other
prominent persons, with the purpose of

A large number ot persons, mostly re

the hall and attacked the neutralists,
whose leader. Deputy Bruno Belmonte,
had his ears boxed. Some one spat in
his face and he defended himself with his
cane. Cries of "Shame, Prince von Hue
low has bought you, you supporters cf
Austria!" rose from the sntl-neutralists.
After this incident the snti-neutrsllsts
attempted to approach the Austrian em
bassy, crying, "Down with Austria!"
"Down with Germany!" "Long IJve
