The tabernacle was packed
jammed and crammed with a crowd
of men estimated at 12,000 by
shortly after 1 o'clock, thou'gh the
meeting wasn't scheduled to start
until 2. Thousands were unable to
get In. The afternoon audience be-
gan Binging as the morning audl-iof
ence came out.
As It was Impossible for more to
get In, "Billy" didn't keep them wait
ing, but started on his ninety-minute
sermon at 1:30.
The sermon bristled with facts and
figures that fairly stagger and appall
the hearer as he Is brought to realise
what could be done with the money
fpent annually In thl4 country for liquor.
One of the moat striking- atatemente of
the evangelist was that this money would
aufOca 4--a.-slnglerear to build,, not
merely one macadam highway from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast, but 100
such highways, each sixteen feet wide.
Applause awept the audience repeatedly
as the
sermon progressed, with every
sentence a battering ram against the -
liquor traffic. Often the audience waa !
roused to more than mere applause, and
cheer after cheer swept from one end of
the tabernacle to the other and back
again.
Prod act of the Jill la.
Seated at the rear of "BlllyVpIatform
were abou ttwenty boys. "Billy," after
describing the raw materials and the
finished product of sawmills, flour mills
and grist mills came to the "gin mill."
At this point the boys stood up on the
platform and "Billy" stood on a chair
and, with a wave of his hand
at the '
youths, he cried: "This t the raw ma
terial of tho gin mill." and then de
scribed with wealth of adjectives the
awful product of the mill.
Another climatic moment was marked
by his sieging a large American flag and
waxing it. He kept this George M.
Cohan property on the pulpit and made
freiuent use of it during the rest of the
rmon. Near the close he put tha flae
over his shoulder and, followed by an
imaginary hand of reformed drunkards,
he marched off to an imaginary grocery
More, butcher shop and dry goods store. '
His march in that direction continued
from the platform along the press desks
ind back again. With the astonished
:radeamen the reformed drunkard had
imaginary conversations, the tradesmen
being asto'-ne-" - 'rnr-kard had
money. Then, with a touching catch
his voice, 'B.liy pi'ij,..d the arrlva
of the ex-drunkard at his home with a
sack of flour on his shoulder, porter-

M'lendid climax. .

that no drunkard can go to heaven. It

FRESH ASSURANCES
GIYEN BYGERMANY
New Message on Arabic Believed to
Have Admitted Subsea Chief '
in Error.
ARBITRATION OUESTION IS UP
NEW YORK, Oct, 3. Danger of
an lcixned late, break between the
United States and Germany over the
.torpedoing of the Arabic, with the
loss, of two American. lives, has been
averted by the assurances contained
in a note received personally here to
day by Secretary Lansing from Count
von Bernstorff, the German ambassa
dor. . - ' "
Neither the secretary of otate nor
the German ambassador would make
any statement.
The ambassador was with Secre-
tary Lansing only a few minutes,
during which the latter did not ex-
press any view on the note, assuring
Count von Bernstorff he would notify
him of the time for the next confer
ence after he had studied the com
munication carefully.
1 "What Inference la.
There was nothing to indicate that the
BeT German note met ent"ly the vlew-
point of the United States, but inasmuch
oa the American government made It
clear to Count von Bernstorff informally,
that disavowal that the sinking of tha
Arabic was absolutely necessary before
there could be any further negotiation
Aw .rV,lmM..n . v. a . l
nity. the general Inference waa that the
Berlin foreign office had taken the view
that the German .ubmarlnd commander
must have erred In assuming that the
Arabic was Intentionally hostile when
going to the rescue of the British steamer
Iunsley,
H waa pointed out as significant In
German quarter that when the German
government sent its first not on the
Arabic, olfering to arbitrate the question
of tact In the case, the evidence collected
by the American government waa not be
fore it. Since that time the data care
fully obtained by the United States and
held by the Washington government to
ba absolutely conclusive thst the Arabic
w" not attempting; to ram the German
submarine, has been placed before the
Berlin foreign office.
Q ii vat Inn of Arbitration.
The prevalent view tonight waa that
Germany had admitted the error of Its
submarine commander, but wished to
arbitrate the extent to which Germany
waa liable under tha circumstance for
I a mistake. Whether this would ba satis-
Uctorr baa never been
Indicated by
Washington officials, though it has been
made plain that tha principle Involved
would not be made tha subject of dis
cussion in an arbitral tribunal.
Count von Bernstorff, at hla hotel, ap
peared very much pleased with the con
tents of the new note, which probably
atiacfie, it waa learned authoritatively
I that the
subject waa
not mentioned.

MORGAN FIRM PUT
IN CHARGE OF LOAN
Interest Payment on Anglo-French
Bonds Will Be Paid Through

OBJECT TO CENTRALIZE WORK
NEW YORK, Oct. J. J. P. Mor

charge, subject to the wishes of the
syndicate niansgers. of the flotation
of the $500,000,000 credit loan to
Great Britain and France In the
t'nited Stales. Announcement to this
effect was made today.
The Morgan firm was requested to
act as agents, It was said, at a meet
ing between the syndicate managers
in this city and the members of the
Anglo-French commission which waa
held last nlsht. The syndicate man
agers are In charge of tho loan In the
entire country, other local syndicates
reporting to them.
To (ntrnllae Work.
The idea of appointing the Morann firm
sa enema, it was mid, was tu centralise
the work. Intercut pnunrnta on the
bonds will be dlHiur-fed throtiiife the f.rm.
I'rvhahly Inurost wlU be paid In other
cities than New York.
Lord Heading and his associates on the
Anglo-French commlaalon have virtually
completed their min-lon heie and expect
to depart for Europe, within the next few
nays, xney navo yet to sign the con
tract for the loan and this probably will
be done early next week." Lord Heading
will sign for tlreat Britain, lie ha full
authority to do ao- without further en
abling act of Parliament. It la aald. One
or both of the French commissioners will
sign the documents on behalf of France.
Looking- to Kvtare.
With the victual aosuranre that every
dollar or the Vig loan will be subscribed,
Wall street began today to spor-ulate aa
to the length of time that would elapse
before another credit will have to be
eatabtlstted. Home authorities placed this
at nine months, some at six. In tho
meantime It la probab e that aomo othor
method will be devlaod to nld In stabilis
ing exchange. The flotation of a con
alderable sum of short notes has been
mentioned.

BRITISH ANNOUNCE SUCCESS E3
1X5NDON, Oct. 3. Reports from
the western theater of war Indicate
that a fierce cannonade is being
maintained all along the Una by the
armies of the entente allies.
The latest French official report
records no additional progress, but a
statement from Field Marshal Sir
John French, commander-in-chief of
the British forces ln the field, says
that on Friday night the British de
livered counter attacks southwest of
Fosse, France, and recaptured two
trenches which the Germans previ
ously had recovered ln a counter at
tack.
A squadron of sixty-five French
aeroplanes bombarded the railroad
station at' Vouslers and an aviation
ground ln the vicinity.
. Compared with the allies' capture, of
nearly 30,000 prisoners, 140 guns and In
numerable machine guna, la the German
claim to have taken 15,000 men and sixty
one machine guns.
Meat Attempt Question.
The question Is being asked aa to where
the next attempt will be made to pierce
the German line. That one will be mado
nobody here doubts, and the expectation
la that It will not he long delayed.
Russia has been relieved, t Some ex
tent," by the withdrawal of German
troop to meet the offensive lit the west
and to supply a contingent for the enter
prise against Serbia. Russia appears to
be holding Its own along virtually all Iti
fronts. At any rate, the Germans make
no claim to advances except by General
von Llnslngen,' and he la moving forward
very alowly. It may be that the Ger
man are making preparation for soma
new stroke, having failed to capture
Dvlnsk by a, direct attack and ha .'
been countered In their effort to reach
Minsk.
Ilnaa on Oflenalre,
' IifTrrnvW t.WA?'at vylotner poAnt
tha Russians haVe howToTicTT the" mitla-"
tive and. are delivering heavy blows at
tha Invaders, many of which, according
(o th German accounts, have been re
pulsed. '
It Is said Germsny has undertaken ait
offensive agatnat Serbia Independently of
Auattla and a Bucharest report say tho
German hv- attempted, without suc
cess, to cross the Danube near Semendrla.
It Is at this point that the main Serbian
tallway most nearly approach tho
frontier. ' "
Whi, many writer discredit the state
ment that the German are sending a
large force agatnat Serbia, other believe
It la doing so to influenoe Bulgaria, which,
almost everybody here is now satisfied
haa decided to Join the central powera
and is awaiting an opportune moment to
throw the weight of It army la tho scale
against th allle.
Allies Will Take Hand.
The moment It does o the allied forces,
which have been promised th support of
Serbia, and which tha Pari paper ar
confident la already In or on the way
to Macedonia, will take a hand. In co
operation, It Is hoped In the allied coun
tries, with Greece, which Is already
mobilising, end Roumanla, which. It la
reported, ha again been threatened by
Austria-Hungary with reprisal Unleea It
permit the passage through It territory
of munition for Turkey.
Interest, strategically, In the Balkan
will be concerned mostly with the rail
way by which ' Serbia can b upplled
with men and munitions. Thl runs from
Salonlkl to Cakup, parallel with and west
of thw Vsrdar river, and thence to Mltro
vltxa. About sixty mile from Salonlkl
it passes within a few mites of tha Bul
sarlan border near Strumitis, tha aceni
of the raid by Bulgarian Irregulars a few
months ago.
