EIGHTY-TWO SHAKE HIS HAND
Hoarse and tired from his violent
exertion of the last two weeks, which
he had declared was bringing only
meager and unsatisfactory results,
"BUry" Sunday Saturday night used
more words and fewer acrobatic an
tics In his endeavor to get people to
hit the sawdust trail and pledge
themselves to the gentle and lowly
Nasarene.
Seventy-seven persons marched up
the aisles and shook his hand after
his sermon on "Faults," and five
more were brought up by secretaries
or the trail long after the invitation
to hit the trail had been given and
the meeting had broken up.
The total of eighty-two trail hitters
was rather disappointing to backers of
the revival, althouih It was a better
showlnc than Friday night. In proportion
to the attendance.
rniti Italker Small.
The night's crowd In the big "tab"
was one of the smallest so far, although
Saturday was the twelfth day of the
campaign and extra effort had been
made of late to Increase the attendance,
contributions and number of trail-hitters.
Katlmates gave Saturday night's attend
ance at about S.OOO people, which was
5.300 lea than attended the meeting on
the prevloiia Saturday night. In spite of
the huge Saturday night crowds on the
atreets and in the stores and theaters,
hopes of the revival backera for the
record breaking attendance were crushed,
tThey were also disappointed at last
night's collection. I2M.1S, which was over
$100 behind that of the previous Satur
day night, and was the smallest evening
collection taken up since the campaign
be can, with one exception,
; Mr. Sunday seemed to keep up his
fight for trail-hitters with fiery phrases,
vigorous preaching and scathing denun
ciation of folks not of his beliefs, but he
started out with an apology for Ma
lessened physical ability. However, there
was plenty of the Utter.
Orareatsatloa Warka Better.
The Sunday organisation for securing
trall-hltters worked better last night than
ever before In Omaha, There was less
uncertainty among the ushers and trail
secretaries and more promptness In as
sisting hesitating persons to the evan
gelist's platform. Peraonal work was
also more In evidence in the background
of the proceedings In response to the
criticism ha gave the campaign workers
Friday evening.
"Billy" frequently found grounds for
slopping his strenuous haodshsking an
instant to shout to the trail secretaries
to do mors personal work.
Lead 'Baa U."
"Get out there and bring m In." ha
would call. "Take 'am by the arm and
lead 'em up. That's the stuff.'
Then turning his head toward the choir
he would Shout; "Olve em another verse,
Body." , ; ,
Following his impassioned prayer at
the close ' of his sermon, Mr. Sunday
paced madly up and down his platform
calling sinners to bit the trail. lis clapped
his bands, swung his arms, balanced
himself on one toot and swung the other
leg in a wide circle, all the time pleading,
commanding, Imploring and urging his
hearers to come up to him and take the
campaign pledge, while ha continued
gyrating In mld-alr and the people held
their breath for fear he would fall.
The first three tretl-hitters last Right
were men. who were promptly followed
In an orderly Una by a large group of
Klble class girls, who had previously ar
ranged to hit the trail and shake hands
with "Billy' They cams up smilingly,
all wearing white ribbons on which were
printed the name of their Bible class.
Ma ay Children C osae.
About sixty of last night's trall-hltters
were children, many of them members of
churches or Sunday schools, all being
counted as "converts"' or "reconsecrated
souls." Quits a number of 10-year-old
bos and girts were led or pushed up.
One of the' trall-hltters was a rough
workman, with his ahtrt open half way
to his belt, who seemed to know all the
revival songs and sang them lustily. An
other appeared to be a maehlneet, wbo
evidently went direct from his work to
the meeting.
After shaking hands with the last of
the trall-hltters and telling them what a
Christian ought to be, Mr. Sunday said:
"Amen, Hallelujah. Oood Night." then
took a long drink out of a nearby water
pitcher, which he grabbed with both
hands, and then disappeared down the
Utile trap 'door In hla stage.
urtng his preliminary remarks, be
tween songs by the choir, Mr. Sunday
made a strong plea for big collections at
today's three meetings, when pledges will
be taken to help pay off the fc-T.oOu of ex
nense Incurred by the preachers who
brought the evangelist to Omaha.
Breeka Ne la terra at lea.
la the midst of his sermon, he suddenly
Mopped short and was Comparatively
inlet and immovable. People wondered
what was the matter, and concluded that
he was short of breath and Just resting,
before renewing his fiery talk. Put after
fully a minute of silence, he pointed out
ver tho head of his listeners, apparently
lo somebody In the rear, and shouted:
"You'll have to let me do all the talk
ing! If you want to mind-Jam. you'll
'have to U-at It. This Is my crowd. If
yon wsnt to talk, go and get a crowd
of your own. I won't let you talk here."
Then "Billy" laughed good-naturedly,
and tke crowd laughed and applauded,
and he started to preach again.
Seraun Abi 'Paalta."
Taking hla tet from John six:. "I
find no fault In 111m," Sunday preached
on "Faults," and started out with a
little lecture about values and faults la
diamonds, as an Illustration. Mr. Sun
day's tig diamond shirt stud was not In
evidence last night, but "Body" wore a
handsome sparkler in a ring.

DUMBA PROTESTS
AGAINST REQUEST
FOR HIS RECALL
Continued from Tsge One)
conduct home without assigning any res
snn therefor on such grounds as It may
deem sufficient without regard to my
opinions as to Its Justice. When, how
ever, your government seea fit to resort
to the extraordinary In Its humiliating
course of preferring rhsrges acalnst me
to my government without advising me
of the Intended action or even Intimating
that such action is contemplated and to
request my recall upon those charges,
as confessed, whilst at the same time re
fusing me permission even to communi
cate privately with my government, I
respectfully protest against such action
as unjust to me and contrary to diplo
mats usage.
"1 aak you in all fairness was ever
Sn ambassador In a neutral country con
fronted with aurh a situation, created
and enforced by the government to which
he la accredited whilst ambassadors rep
resenting enemies of his country have un
limited meana of secret communication?
It has been made literally Impossible for
me to communicate privately with my
government.
Xo Apoleatee Offer.
"Under such conditions I have no apol
ogies to offer for having entrusted my
letter to Mr. Archibald. If the convey
ing of letters to Europe by Americans
traveling abroad during this war Is an
offense, It Is one of which most Ameri
cans are apparently Ignorant, as the
courtesy has frequently been volunteered
by my friends and Is habitually practiced.
It did not occur to me that It was Im
proper nor am I able yet to tee It In
that light, having regard to the entirely
legitimate purposes I had In mind In
the line of the performance of my duty."
Dr. Dumbs, then outlines the circum
stances under which he says he acted
and his reasons In forwarding to the
Auatro-Hungartan minister for foreign
affairs the letter which was the occa
sion for the request for his recall.
Ths ambassador thon recounts the
proclamation Issued by the German gov
ernment calling attention of Its citizens
resident In this and other foreign coun
tries to the severe penalties they would
Incur by participating In the manufac
ture of munitions for the countries with
which Germany Is at war. As a result
the ambassador stated many German
cltlxena surrendered their positions In
American munition factories.
"They could have probably," he added,
"seen no distinction In principle or effect
between accomplishing the slaughter of
their countrymen In this way and tak
ing Up arms against them except that the
former method would be more effective
than the latter.' ,
Pravlalaa sf Penal Code.
Ir. Dumba then states that he was ad
vised by his government of the Issuance
of a similar proclamation. This, he said,
called attention to a section of his gov
ernment's penal code which made It a
crime punishable by Imprisonment from
ten to twenty years and under certain
circumstances by death for any of "our
citlsens" to engsge In the manufacture
of munitions to be used against Austria
Hungary. Dr. Dumba said that he thereupon made
strong representations to his country for
a suspension of the operation of this law
against ctttsens of Austro-Hungary rest
dent in this country because, he said,
tinlike the German workman, "our dsl
sens In those factories were largely
poorly paid, unskilled laborers, most of
whom were unable to read, or write any
language than their own, who were work
ing under conditions of unspeakable hard
ship and who would find It difficult. It
not Impossible, to secure other employ
ment and who had not the means of sub
sistence for themselves or families.'
Dr. Dumba then explains that he
though It necessary to acquaint these
people with the fact that they were
violating the laws of their country and
also to provide a means of livelihood for
them through employment agencies.
'I was," the ambassador continued.
"accordingly Instructed to use every
proper means of dissuading our citlsens
from committing this crime of high trea
son against the country to which they
owed their allegiance rn Its hour or
greatest need.
Had Takew Ha Mesa Tkem.
At the time of the publication of your
message X had as yet yet been able to
take no step toward carrying out theae
Instructions and had of course no Inten
tion of doing so in any way that would
violate the laws cr effend against the
customs of ths country whose hospitality
I have enjoyed and whose friendship my
country deeply appreciates and is anxious
to retain.
'My absolute right and duty to call my
countrymen In the United States out of
tbetr respective employments to the ranks
as soon as A us trtavH u ngary was In a
state of war has not been and cannot be
questioned, Ths French and Italian am
bassadors did and ere doing this without
question from official quarters. Why
then Is the former characterised as con
sultary in my case whilst the latter Is
recognised as legitimate as applied to the
action of the allies r
Dr. Dumba says that be has Information
that In the event of war between this
country and foreign powers our citlsens
la foreign lands who aided the enemy In
Its supply of ammunition would be
equally guilty as they took up arms
against their government.
"If," Dr. Dumba continues, "by argu
ment or persuasion through the limited
channels open to us under the present ex
ceptional conditions, or by otherwise pro
viding for their wants, we are able to
prevail upon our citlsens to discontinue
their attacks upon their fatherland. It Is
not only eur light, but our bounden duty
to do so."
The ambassador then says that none
of the suggestions made to him for tying
up munitions plants has been acted upon.
He declares that the fact that only 115.900
was -asked from his government to be
used In bringing Its proclamation to the
attention of Ita citlsens In munitions fac
tories shows how limited was the "national-wide
conspiracy against the In
dustrial peace of the United States."

General Villa's disclaimer of responsi

SCnWERIN WORKS OUT SCHEME
(Correspondence of the Asor1ated Press.)
RERUN. July 1.-Th exact regintra
tlon of the huge horde of over 1,'OJ.flfO
prisoners of war In Germany, so that
' rank, service, division and place of con
j flnement of each man can be Instantly
determined, has been perfected to an
astonishing degree by Count Fehwerln.

overseeing things.
Record of Kb oh Man.
Bach day dozens and scores of lists of
names pour Into Count Schwerin's de
partment of the war ministry In the Dor-otheen-strasne.
here In Berlin. These
lists give the necessary Information for
filling out the cards, so that each shall
contain the name and forename of the
prisoner, his service branch, regiment
and company, the place and date of his
capture, rjiC the place where he Is held.
If he hi wounded, the nature of his
wounds and the hospital where he Is are
added.
Boorea of young women fill out the
cards, which then go to jorters, under the
Inspection of a man who In peace times
Is a head instructor In one of Berlin's
higher schools. Before the sorters stand
wooden cases built after the fashion of
type cases, but deeper. It was the sight
of compositors "throwing In" type that
led Count Schwerln to adopt these cases.
Method of Sortlnar.
The first set of sorters take the cards
just as they come. In alphabetical con-
fusion, from the writing room, and dl-
vido them according to the Initial letter
from A to Z. Other sorters then take
the As and subdivide them systematically
Into As. Asa, Ab, Aba, Abb, and so on.
Thousands of cards are sorted and filed
dally tor the list of prisoners never stops
growing.
The names also are divided according1
to nationality, and put away in the cases
that flank all four walla of three rooms.
There are between 25,000 and 30,000 Bel
gian names, from 16,000 to 18.00O English
names, and hundreds of thousands ot
French and Russian. With but one ex
ception the Serbians, Montenegrins and
Japanese who are prisoners in Ucrmany
ere civilians of military age interned
here.
Ilandreds of Letters Dally.
Approximately (00 letters come to Count
Schwerin's "Kartothek" dally requests
for Information about relatives or friends.
It is the boast and pride of this officer
that no request remains unanswered
longer than twenty-four hours forty
eight at the very outside when the letter
or Inquiry Is In difficult Rusalan.
To facilitate relatives In getting In
formation about the foreign soldiers,
however, Count Schwerln has forwarded
the oomplete data about prisoners, as
fait as received at the war ministry and
filed in the Card catalogue, to the gov
ernments at London, Parte and St
Petersburg, and to the Red Cross head
quarters at Geneva, Brussels, Copen
hagen and Berlin.
One of the most Interesting features
of the card catalogue work Is the fact
that many men give false names and
data because they are ashamed of being
In captivity and do not want any one
In their native land to know that they
have been taken prisoner.
Aa Kxaaaple Cited.
An example of this came to light re
cently In a case concerning 19-year-old
Prince Chi may of Belgium. He had en
listed under an assumed name and was
captured. Ho was put in a prison camp
as a private soldier. In due time in
quiries about the young man came In.
His name did not appear In the card
catalogue, and before the young man
was found It had been necessary to
hunt out every soldier of his regiment,
scattered In half a dosen camps all ever
Germany, to take them before a military
court and demand of them under oath
what they knew about his case.
Catalogae ef the Dead.
So much for the catalogue about the
living soldiers of ths eight countries
now at war with Gemany. A smaller
catalogue ountalns as far aa available
the names of the dead supplied In a
variety of ways, but chiefly by moans
of the metal tsgs worn by the soldlors
around their necks.
This list Is Incomplete for a variety
of, obvious reasons, but partly because
many of the soldiers, especially the
French, take the tags off, through su
perstition and throw them away. Even
at that there are. In the war ministry
building, boxes and boxes full of the
little tin dlska
The French tags are clearly stamped
with the soldier's name, rtlment and
home station. The Kngllsh tars are far
less clear, and sometimes cannot be
made out at all. The Belgian disks are
fairly plain, and those of the Canadians,
made of leather, are good. The Russians
rarerly wear any. and It ie an almost
hopeless task to try to kevp track of
their dead.
Care Takes f Valaablea.
In thousands of eases of course the
men fall In such places that the Ger
mane can search their garments before
burying the bodies. All valuables, keep
sakes and posseexlons are then tied up
and forwarded to Berlin, where the
treasury of the war ministry takes
charge of them.
An exact list of the contents of each
package la made and forwarded to the
department which Count Scherwln heads,
and the possessions are then sent to
the war ministries In Frame. England
or Russia, which are best able to see
that the valuables come Into the pos
session of the rightful ret a Uvea of the
fallen soldiers.
The catalogue has grown to be Count
Schwercin's uet. his greatest pride and
care. Though past middle age he gladly
gives long hours and Infinite patience
to its extension and upkeep. Recently
he desired to go Into the field for active
service, but It was found that In the
months be had been tn the war ministry
he had made himself practically Indis
pensable, and that no one could be found
who could take up the catalogue where
he would hsve to leave off.

that Coffee is NOT a Food, but a
Drug Beverage
Under It true colors most every pound of coffee sold
should carry the truthful warning: "This can contains about
100 trains of caffeine."
Caffeine is a powerful hsblt-forrulng drug. Us dally use
hinders digestion. Irritates the nerves, causes headache, heart
flutter and many other ailments.
The way to play safe with health is to Quit coffee and use

SOME MARRIAGES BY PROXY
Peculiar Family Relations Brought
on by Men Taking Wives and
Then Going to the Front.
UNIONS THAT ARE IRREGULAR
(Correopondence of the Associated Press.)
PARIS, Sept. 1. The matrtmbonln!
mnbHlxation. precipitated by the call to
arms a year ago, In far from complete:
In consequence there ar thousands of
women wearing mourning who are legally
debarred from the rights of a widow.
Two thousand five hundred marriages
of soldiers culled lo the colors were cele
brated In Paris alone during the flint
two weeks following the outbreak of war.
Several thousand more were obliged to
leave for the front without regularising
a situation that has become hopeless for
msny women and children and will be
come hopeless for many more.
The procurator of the republic did what
he could by ordering mayors to disregard
the rules; Parliament helped by au
thorising marriages at the front even by
proxy, but red tape had wound marrlatra
so tightly In its tangle that even with
carte blanche from their superiors tho
mayors were unable to satisfy all de
mands. War will have had the effect of
remedying this, but In the meantime In
calculable harm has become permanent.
Dr. Chervin stated before the Reiety
of Statistics that 60,000 families in Paris
are In an Irregular situation before the
law and society. A lnrge proportion of
these would been regularised If less dif
ficulty were placed tn the way of mar
riage. A great many persona are unable
to produce the birth certificates required
their own and their parents. Many
others hesitate tn the face of SJie In
evitable posting of their names ten dayn,
beforehand on the walls of the mayor's
office thus giving a choice opportunity
to the gossips of their quarter.
A vigorous campaign has begun among
memberi of the institute to hasten legis
lation that will remove all routine ob
stacles to marriage. Joining their efforts
to those who are fighting against the de
population of France they are confident
of overcoming the apathy of Parliament

DOLLARS AND SEKSE
I'sually go hand in hand.
The man who has most
sense is almost always
the man who looks after ,
the dollars most closely.
It takes sense to make,
money and it takes sense
to save it. If you are only
making small money, but
have sense enough to
save a portion of it, you
are better off than the
man that makes big
money, but spends it all.
