Local Ministers
Use the Arbuckle

at Calvary Baptist church preached
last night on. "The . Modern
Menace of Immorality," wng the
Roscoe Arbuckle scandal as an il
lustration.

ministers who drew a pulpit lesson
from this notorious case.
"There is a deadly disease of im
purity working - itselt insidiously
through pur social life," said the
Rev. Mr. Whitcomb last night..
'I shall state in my sermon that
the case of this moving picture actor
is simply an eruption extraordinary
of the disease that ""is seriously af
fecting the social body. .
Revulsion Inevitable.
"The whole motion picture world
is stirred by this scandal because
such a large percentage of the most
featured men and women in the pic
ture world are men and women to
whose names scandal is attached.
"A revulsion by the' better people
from the moving pictures is inevit
able until the producers have had a
house-cleaning.
"And this must be backed up by
sterner standards of purity among
the millions., Social .impurity among
all classes and ages of society is so.
widely diffused and fastened into the
vitals Of the community that those
persons of the social state who arc
striving to save the soul of civiliza
tion and who know best what the
world's moral condition is, are near
to despair." :
How to Met Temptation.
Rev. A. F. Ernst, at the
Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church
preached on "How to Meet and
Conquer Temptation" and used the
Arbuckle case as illustration.
"There is no real prosperity without
God ' and w hen . godless men gain
what to : them seems like pros
perity, the devil quickly finds a way
to undo them and make them far
worse off than godly men to whom
worldly prosperity never comes," he
said.
Rev. Charles H. Lyttle . at the
First Unitarian church preached
at 10:30 yesterday on "The
Christ Manhood or the Cave Man?

De Valera Claims
Acceptance of
British Pr6posal
Says Telegram Sent to Lloyd
George Friday Was Agree
ment to Conference With
out Any Ties. -
By JOHN STEELE.
Chicago Tribune Caw, Copyright, 10:51.
London, Sept.. 18. Developments
came fast in the Irish situation to
day. - -
First was Prime Minister Lloyd
George's flat reply to Eamonn dc
Valera's telegram, stating that' the
government would not enter into
any parley with Irish delegates' so
long as they demanded to be con
sidered as representatives of an in
dependent sovereign nation. This
message sent hope for Irish peace
slipping down into the depths.
But an hour. later that hope was
again soaring, for immediately upon
receipt of Mr. Lloyd George's firm
dictum, Mr. De Valera sent a reply
to tUc prime minister" in which he
declared' that the telegram he sent
to him Friday was intended as an
acceptance of a conference without
any tics, as Mr; Lloyd George had
inn'strtl. . ... !
"I have already accepted your in-,
vitation in the exact words whichJ
you quote from your letter of Sep-1
tcmbcr 7," said Mr. Dc Valera's
latest message. .
This is believed in official circles
to mean .that the invitation to the
Irish delegates to attend a confer
ence will be renewed and hope runs
high that with Mr. De Valera now
down from" his position of absolute
defiance of the government, , a
means to bring about the peace in
Ireland so much desired by the
people of both islands, will be
found.
How soon the conference will be
held is a matter of doubt, for it was
announced that Mr. Lloyd George is
suffering from a chill and septic ab
sorption and that he must not at
tend to any but the most vitally im
portant business for several days.
He may not be able to attend a
meetinc for more than a week.
