tloa. Homer Rodeheaver, "Billy" Sun
day's choir leader, made his first ap
pearance at the tabernacle yesterday
afternoon. Most of the members of
the audience didn't know, appar
ently, who he was, as he led in sev
eral songs, played a solo, on his slide
trombone and sang a solo.
"Brighten the Corner Where You
Are," which proves the greatest song
favorite at all meetings, was sung
for the first time, with "Rody" lead
ing. "Rody" also said a good word
for the visiting nurses. He wore one
of the red tags and advised everybody
to help the cause.
Rev. E. H. Jenks made the opening
rayer, and Sunday preached on the
"Pharaeeo and the Publican," and held
up to contempt and acorn the self-righteous,
self-sufficient Pharaaee. He drew
lilmnelf up and, with a look of eelf-satls-factlon
on hia face, made the repeated'
Pharaaee' s prayer.
"I fast twice a week." he mimicked. J
"Why, the Pharaaee was better than the
Xord wanted him to be. The Lord com-'
majided the Jews to fast once a year.
The Pharasea fasted 1M times a year.
God owed him for 103 fasts."
And "Billy" bubbled with mirth, while
tha audience applauded.
: Sit In Church anil Fun.. "
"Away with tha damnable Idea that a
llllll vairsvO Himself by books aad educa
tion and culture and bank accounts," he
Shouted with sudden earnestness. "You're
lost, and you'll so to hell It you don't
gain salvation through faith In Jesus
Christ."
The sarcastic shafts fell thick and fast
on lasy church members. He sat on the
chair In Imitation of the "churchly
crowd."
"Lota of people go to church," he cried,
"and alt there and fan themselves, and
mumble, 'Ain't it hot?" and that's all the
sacrifice they make for God s cause. If
there's anything- I can't stand it's laii
aess In religion."
Then Sunday hurled a number f sar
castic don'ts for church members.
"Don't come early to church." he cried.
"Come tn Just as the preacher is begin
ning to preach. It will show your mod
esty. Don't sing. No, no; don't do that.
That's what the choir is for.
"Don't sit in the front seats. Say, I
used to 'fire' a railroad 'engine, and wa )
used to put the loaded cars up In front '
and the empties behind. It pulled easier. '.
Some More Don'ts. j
"Don't encourage yoar pastor. Tell him
Ills faults. Maybe he'll try to mend them.
Don't speak to anyone about Jesus.
That's what the preacher's paid for.
Keep his salary behind aa much as pos
sible. Ha can work here and tha Lord
will board him and send the ravens to
feed him. Don't tell him when you'ro
sick. Then when you set well you can
abua him for not coming to aee you ,
when you were on the eoge ot the gnve,
mumbling tha last words in most lugu
brious manner.

try to stir up a row. That's it Oh, I

Just what Billy Sunday thinks ot

All the Sunday party had been out

deep, drawiy voice. The reporters!
had just started to talk with him

Beach suit.
"Wonder where 'ma' Is so long," he
said as he sat down In a rocking chair.
Someone mentioned Mayor I'ahlmun,
who was at tho previous niight's taber

way, immediately exclaimed:
Ulajoe Klne Frllotr.
"He's a fine fellow. Been mayor for
ten years. Straight as a die. Always

BERLIN, Sept. 8. (Via London.)
The comander of a German sub

that he torpedoed the liner Arabic
In the belief that the Arabic's action
indicated that it was about to attack
the submarine and that it fired In
self-defense.

According to the aubmarlna com

I gaecd In destroying a freighter, when the
Arabic was sighted. The aubmarlna was
then on the surface.
The Arabic, the commander deolares,
swung sround and headed towards tha
freighter aa lf to attack tha submarine.
The commander of tha undersea, craft
remained In doubt as to tha intentions
of the Arablo when tha latter changed
Its course a few points, but still kept
headed In a direction that waa bringing
It nearer to the scene.

The captain of the aubmarlna reports
that ha continued to observe tha actions
of too liner until he saw the Arablo
again change its course and head di

Rumor Says that Sinking of Hes

on Dispute with Chancellor.
ADMIRAL IS TAKING A VACATION
LONDON, Sept. 8. A dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph from Rotterdam
says:
"It la freely rumored in Berlin that
tbe sinking of the Allan line steamer
Hesperian was deliberately designed
by the party of Admiral Von Tlrptti,
the German minister ot marine, to
bring to a climax the differences be
tween Von TlrplU and Dr. Von Beth-mann-Hollweg,
the imperial chancel
lor, over the last note to President
Wilson concerning the use of sub
marine boats against liners."
Only Taking Vacation.
Reports that Admiral von Tlrplts, Ger
man minister of marine, Intends to re
sign are Inventions, although it is true
that ha plans to take a brief vacation,
according to the Berlin correspondent of
the Nleuwe Rotterdamarhe Courant, who
claims to have obtained hia Information
from authority,
A dispatch from Amsterdam September
S aald It waa reported In Burl In .that Ad
miral von Tlrpiti would resign and bt
succeeded by Admiral von Pohl, now
chief of the admiralty staff and com.
mander of tha Baltlo floet.
It has been persistently asserted that
Admiral von Tlrplts had come Into sert
ous conflict with Chancellor von Beth
taliation for the British blockade. Their
differences of opinion came to a climax
with tha sinking ot the steamer Arabic
with Its resulting menace to tha friendly
relations between Germany and tha
United States.
The chancellor and the minister of ma
rine visited Emperor William at the front
and tha monarch waa said to have sus
tained Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg tn his
demands that the subinurlne policy ba
modified for political reasons.
It was after this conference that It be
came known that Von Tliplls proposed
taking a vacation, and the inference was
drawn by tho toreUn press that this was
a subterfuge adopted either to cover tils
retirement by order of the emperor or to
hide hia chagrin at being overruled In a
policy which was popular with tha Ger
man people.

Grand Duke Nicholas, who as com

uies of the European war, has been

of the long eastern front will be se

quarters. At the present moment Courland
appears to be the critical sector ot
the line. General Russky Is in com
mand there and Field Marshal Von
Hlndenburg apparently Is not mak
ing any great progress against him.
The central sector has been held by
Grand Duke Nicholas and efforts of the
Germans to drive a wedge through the
swamps are proceeding very slowly. The

Ivanoff, la making a stubborn stand
