A studied reserve seemed to mark
"Billy" Sunday's sermon yesterday
afternoon. He said: "To perdition
with the saloon" Instead of his usual
"shorter and uglier." "To hell with
the saloon."
He prefaced his sermon with the
declaration that the pendulum of the ;
human heart Is swinging back) to
God and away from atheism today as
it never was before.
"When college presidents, captains
of Industry and political leaders are
lining up and begging for religious
revivals; when cities like New York,
Chicago and Boston are pleading for
a great evangelistic awakening, I tell
you lt'a something to thank God for.
Nothing has been known like It be
fore. It's marvelous."
HI sermon was a powerful plea for
more prayer. Illustrated with marvelous
Instances of answers to prayer.
Repeated waves of applauaeegreeted his
denunciation of the "whiskey Bang" of
Omaha,
"Some of the rottenest, black-hearted,
whiskey-soaked Imps and pimps of hell
on the continent are right here In
Omaha I" h cried, "and I'll cram It down
their dirty throats! They're the meanest,
lowest-down Imp this side or helL Why,
If they spoke wall of me I'd know I was
wren."
Speaking of praye and tha great lack
of it tn and out of the church, he said:
It mii'M tnn niroM laiy tO DlOW

One kernel of corn will produce i,00 j
kernels of corn on the average. That s
the way God answer in the natural
world. That's the way he'U answer If
you pray to him In tbe spiritual world.
If you don't you'U lose that blessing.
Hell is a square deal to the sinner. He
gets what he sowed. Heaven is a square

the singing, rendering aonga asked for

aang a duet and then "Rody" made the
opening prayer . It waa very ahort.
"Billy" looked out over the crowd of
about 4.&00 people Just before he began
to preach, and said:
"I guess we'll have to give the palm to
Omaha for crowds at the beglnn ng of
the campaign. Of course, in Philadel
phia they filled the tabernacle at every
service, even the afternoons, but Phila
delphia is In a class by Itself."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11. The
flsy which was believed to be a sup

slnUlnR of the Arabic, now is under
stood to bo a note on the unsuccess
ful attemot to toinrrln tli Pnnarrtor

the hole rmmnif 1 tho Ordnna and that
when Its contents were known. It proh-
biy wouM be found that the German
government claimed some sort of j.iatlfl- a(lmlt lhat thls gecUon of th fight
cation for the attack on the liner. , ... , ,
The Orduna was chased and shelled by ara 18 nt of the mo8t T,UI ,m'

Overnight ronalderatton of the note on
,h- Xrab)o n,CrtU.B a softening of views
among one eel of officials, who are In
clined to further negotiations with Ger
many. Their views cannot be stated as
being President Wilson's, . but their
Views will be urged on the president be
fore he makes up hla mind what to do.
While they agree that Germany's reply
is dlaaf pointing and unsatisfactory, they
urge that the Arabia case has come
down to questions of Indemnity and of
fact. The explanations offered by Ger
many for the sinking of the White Star
liner differ materially from the atate
men's In the hands of President Wilson
and Secretary Inilng. Those officials
who favor further negotiation contend
that a proper war to determine which
et of factaeta correct is to let the case
go to The IIagiM, where the question of
Indemnity oould be arbitrated without
endangering the principles for which the
United Htatea has contended as govern
ing submarine warfare.
More l'nifflclpl Intlmet'nna.
There were Indications In official quar
ters today that the United States had
received more unofficial Intimations that
the German government .actually had
finally accepted the principle that Un-
armed merohantment ahould not be at-
tacked without warning unices they at-
