increase of population had been Just about
10.000. and assumta that we bare grown as

Gubernatorial hat ar being thrown Into tha
French Cabinet Changes.
Th resignation of M. Delca from the Vi
vian! cabinet, a shown by derelopments, was
tut the prelude to the retirement ot the entire
body, and President Polncare ha asked Arlstlde
Drtand to form a body for the direction of the
gorernment of Franc. The letter of , Vlvlanl,
accompanying tha realgnationa of himself and
1 Is aaaoclat, ascribe th aoUon- to differences
in the French Parliament a to th best method
cf conducting tha war. Delcais was mad th
scapegoat for the French In connection with th
fallur of the Allies to hold Bulgaria In line or
to secur prompt accession to their cause from
Greece. His retirement doe not seem to have
appeased th elements in cither th senate or
tha chamber ot deputies, bant on criticising th
gorernment. Another phas of th breach be
tween th cabinet and th parliament is that a
demand for secret session wa opposed by Vlvlanl.
Taken in connection with th debates In the
British Parliament, th derelopments in France
may be looked upon aa quit algnlficaat of the
temper of th pee pi ot these countries, a ex
pressed by their reprentatlre. Th progress
ot th war ha neither been ao f aat nor ao favor
abU aa th public would wish, and th politician
opposed to th gorernment bar not neglected
to turn th situation to their own advantage.
Nothing it shown to Indicate that the feeling la

SOUTH 11)13, OMAHA, Oct. t.-To
th fedlter ef The Bee: It will probably
be many yeare before we will ever again
witiles uch a marvalou affair ae th
"Billy" Sunday meetings that have Just
closed. He U the grant est organiser lit
th country and I one of th meet re
markable mn cf th whole world today.
It 1 my opinion that If there had not
been one obetaole coming from a eourc
from Which it ahould not have come.
that th trail hitter would have been
numbered by the tens ef thousand.
All of the knocking made by the
knocker in their silly letter to the pub
lic pre only helped make -'Billy"
Sunday the more popular. The obstacle
that blocked th way cam from th
devout peopl Who probibly did It un
consciously and did not realise the harm
Bhey wer doing. Hundred, If not
thousand of devout ladiea, onowded ail
tho meetings.., and some , boasted . that
they attended every meeting, where they
were not shut out, on account ot the
meeting for men otify.
It the ladle who took Up a much of
th room had been willing to aacrifiee
for the good ef bthera. It la my opinion
that the men trail hitters would hare
been Increased enormously. Tihey hold
their' hand op la holy horror oVer th
wlckednes of men. yet thy map have
Indirect contributed t their wicked
.ne In keeping them crowded cut of
the "Billy" Sunday meetings, and bad
It not been for th Special delegation
coming tnte reserved mat a, there would
not hare teen aa many trail hitter a
ther were. Many men who . war
crowded out, do not belong to the or
ganisation represented, and they are tih
very on who should, hav been, reached,
it la too bad that no difference how de
vout we may be, we oannct cover up our
selfishness la timet wben our generosity
should hold sway, X do not blame the
ladles for. wanting to ' hear all that
"Billy" Sunday had to say, but they
ought te bave thought of others, too.
Usher hare told m that they believe
many more would have been secured if
the devout people had been wUUng to let
other In a little more. But "Billy"
Sunday left a profound impression that
will last for 'year to come. '
