tonight. He was loading his gatllng
guns with shot tor his coming attack
on the . "booze" citadels of Toronto,
Canada. If the present plans are car

of the Serpent," before more than
10,000 persons, Including the pre
mier of the dominion and other, gov
ernment officials. To carry on the
fight Sunday has cleared, the, way,
hundreds of "key-men," from towns
in the province of Ontario will attend
the meetings, to receive their orders
for the battle. '
' The feelings of the people of Ontario
and of Canada will be tested and the
temperance workers claim that Ontario
is the heart of Canada, and If "Billy"
Sunday can swing it to prohibition, it will
mean the triumph of the temperance
cause throughout the domln'.on.
Sunday goes to Toronto through the
efforts of Newton Wylle, general chair
man of a Canadian committee of 100.
What Is believed to be Mr. Sunday's
greatest sermon against the liquor traf
fic, "iTatUlng With Boose," wll be de
livered at the arena at 7:80 o'clock Mon
day evnlng.

9:30 o'clock. The visitors will be met at
the sti.ton by the premier and other
offlcialse and conveyed to Toronto uni
versity, where Sunday ' will deliver his
first sermon on foreign soil.
The evangelist returns here Tuesday
evening. That afternoon Rev, Isaac
Ward of Philadelphia, Penn., will speak
in Sunday's place at the local tabernacle.
Four Thousand Converts.
The present week has seen hundreds
of trail hitters, ranging from the college
and high school students to Indians and
down-and-outers added to Sunday's roll,
until the total is 4.044. It is estimated that
333.000 have attended the revivals to date
as compared with 231,700 for the same
period at Omaha. Excursions from near
by cities and towns brought crowds this
week.
Sunday forgot to pray for the Syra
cuse university team this afternoon, and
the orange was held to a scoreless tie
by Dartmauth. Homer Ilodeheaver and
George Sunday, however, rooted for Syra
cuse technical this morning and that
school trimmed Syracuse North High.

CHICAGO. Nov. .- The body of the
unidentified hobo which served for a

morbid fancy, was burled with cere
mony here today.'
Over the body a sermon preaching
charity to the unfortunates of the world
was preached at the Cathedral of St.
Peter and St. Paul.
From the casket the name of "Dr. Al

lover by Miss Julia Crumley of Atlanta
had been erased and there was no other
name to take its place.
A pinched little bouquet of chrysanthe

adorned the coffin. It was a gift from
hobos of Chicago. Hobos, headed by Jeff
Davis, president of the hobos union of
America, were the pallbearers. Expenses
are said to have been paid by Visa Crum

Anglo-French Troops Based on

WEATHER A FACTOR IN RUSSIA
LONDON. Nov. 20. Although no
official confirmation haa been re
ceived of the report that the Bul
garians have captured Monastlr, In
southwestern Serbia, little hope la
felt In' England that the announce
ment la premature. Accepting it as
true, the impression is growing that
the entente allies arrived too late to
give any service to the Serbians.
The only thing certain in regard to the
Plight of Berbla Is that Its military situa
tion is going from bad to worse. In the
north tho main Rerblan armies are giv
ing ..way slowly before the battering
Austro-Oerman .'forces, which probably
would move more rapidly if weather
conditions were better. . It Is established
that the Hulgarlans are In Prllep and at
least have made Monastlr untenable. The
Anglo-French armies, based on PaJonlkl,
seem to do ' no better than hold tholr
positions. '
Optlmlstlo feeling In regard to the
diplomatic situation In Greece still per.
slsts In England. The reasons for this
optimism, however, continue to be ob
scure.' The weather seems to' have Intervened
again tn Russia.' Little activity Is re
ported except 'in the retirement of the
Russians to the east bank of the Ptyr. In
lOallcla. In Courland wet weather in
the swampy district evidently haa brought
both sides to a stand still.
On the other fronts there are ' few
changes. Desperate fighting continues
between the Austriana and Italians. In
