who have signed cards at the "Hilly"
Sunday meetings.
In some of the churches, "Brussels
carpet trail-hitters" were called for
and received.
Everything indicated that the new
life stirred up in the city by the re
cent Sunday campaign is now
coursing through the veins of the
churches In all parts of the city and
-carrying new- life and vigor and
energy into them .
"It is just the beginning of the
religious campaign," said Rev. Titus
1owe, pastor of the First Methodist
church.
Different Method..
Many of the churches received new
members at both morning and evening
services. Others did not begin receiving
them, but will do so within the next week
or so. Every church la & "law unto itself"
in this respect. Some denominations will
devote time to instructing prospective ,
members in the fundamentals of doctrine,
church history, etc. Others, like the Mcth- .
odist, take them in on probationary mem- '
bershlp and will receive them into full
membership later.
At tha First Methodist church 113 were
received at the morning service. When
the pastor called for new trall-hlters two
more responded. The Wednesday even
ing meetings have grown greatly at this
church, as at others, and on Fridays
there la a special "get together" occasion.
"We are going right Into a red-hot
evangellstlo campaign," said Rev. Mr.
Lowe, the pastor. "Every Sunday we will
continue to call for trail-hltors. The work
has only started."
Oa the Brussels Carpet.
Forty-six were received at the Plymouth
Congregational church, and when the
r pastor. Rev. F. W. Leavltt, called for
' "Brussels carpet trail-hitters" at the
morning service, five came forward.
An Inspiring service at the Walnut Hill
Methodist church was marked by the re
ception of forty-one new members by
Rev. Oliver Keve, the pastor.
The First Congregational church, fol
lowing a Sundayesque sermon by the
pastor. Rev. F, W. Rouse, distributed
cards to all present for reconsecratlon,
and on them each wrote what he would
do to help along the work. None were
received, as this ceremony has been re
served for next Sunday, but over WO were
present who will come in at the appointed
time.
tit. Mary's Avenue Congregational
church was crowded. The new members
will be taken In a week from next Sunday.
At the Hillside Congregational church
twenty-three were received yesterday
mornln.?, and as many more are expected
next Sunday by the pastor, Rev. W. B.
Hampton.
Special Meetings.
"It was the largest audience, by far,
that we have had in the two years that
I have been here," said Rev. C. E. Cob
Itcy. pastor of the First Christian church,
speaking of his morning congregation.
"We received fifty-eight, thirty being re
consecrattons received into full member

That the order of the king will be

Hut while the air Is bluo around the
capital city this morning because of the
stand taken by the Rryans, and mem
bers of the democratic party are declar
ing tl at they will not stanj for it. it
may be possible that It Is a case where
forbearance has ceased to to a virtue
and Mr. Bryan may find himself Insnt
a healthy following. If some of the
faithful who are cussing tolay do not
get over It, there may be many vacant
chairs at tin Bryan birti.day dinner on
March 19, which have before been filled
by many of tho leading democrats of
the siate.
Vi-vr Want to Talk.
While condemning tho action of Mr.
Bryan, most of the prominent democrats

names are to be made public. One very I
prominent officeholder at the state house

man basing the r ght of an Amercan

office in this state," salt he. "who have
the Tight business qualif cationo for the
office to which they aspire. Let the
people of the state settle the prohibition
question by their votes and don t let ua
elect men to off.es juBt because they

Felix Newton thoi'ght that the action
of the Bryans was undemocratic and un
fair. "V hat rirfht has Mr. .Bryan to
say that a man is not to hold an office
because he happens to disagree with him
on a question 'which cjts.no itgure ai
to the right of a man to serve his state,"
said Mr. Newton. "It is un-American."
Mr. Newton never touches the' cup that
Intoxicates, but l e tl 1 k that the people
should settlo the question of prohibition
without it being mixed up with
peing mixed up wun any
other proposition and especially it should
not be a bar to a man holding of.ic.
Mr. Bryan's action though not unex
pected, has come as a sort of thunder
clap and its publication this morning has
aroused the ire of many who ha e be.:n
willing to pass over Mr. Bryan's pecu
liarities heretofore with charity.

Italy, on its part, has already under
taken this by a general offensive and
there Is talk of another offensive on the
western front. The Germans seem to
have anticipated this, aa on Saturday
night they launched a general attack in
Champagne over a front of about five
miles in an effort to recover ground
which the French recently took from
them. They succeeded In recapturing the
Butte De Tan u re, but according to the
French account, they were repulsed every
where else, suffering extremely heavy
losses .and to the north of Le Mesni they
actually lost one of their own trenuhe.
There has also been some fighting Irs
Artols. j
nkow Already la North,
Despite the coming of winter there has
been more activity on the Russian front.
True, there has been a lull In the fight
ing in Courland, where the Uermana
have apparently fulled to take itlga or
Dvlnsk or tu improve to any marked
degree their position. It Is believed thst
they are preparing for another drive. It
must be made soon, as snow is already
falling and the movement of heavy ar
tillery is becoming more difficult.
Along the istyr the Hermans are en
gaged In a counter offensive and have
recovered some territory, which General
Ivanoff took Irom them. Further south.
In Uallcla, the Russians have retired to
the offensive and, according to ,.enna,
have made unsuccessful attempts to cross
the Strips. The Turks report increased
activity o fall artillery and warships la
