SUNDAYS MEETING
Sermon on "Tortures of
Hell" Wins $50 Converts.
Hits Booze" Again and
Big Audience Cheers.

DIES MONIES, Ia. Dec. iS,--If there
was any one In the great audience OF
10000 which packed the tabernacle last
night who had any doubts and misgiv-
ines As to the nature OF hell he was
speedily disiilusioned by Evangelist Billy
Sunday, whose painting OF the lower re-
sions was scarcely less forceful than that
OF Dore or Milton. With the exception
of his booze" sermon last nights talk
on hell was one OF the most powerful
sermons the evangelist has delivered
since coming to Des Moinos.
At the conclusions OF Sundays forceful
remarks, $50 persons came tearing down
the sawdust trail. One OF the features
OF the service was that the sermon alone
was responsible for the conversion Of
nine-tenths OF those who sat in "glory
row." The singing had just begun and
the personal workers scarcely had had
time to get busy before the greater
number OF the converts had "hlt the
trail" Billy, for once. uttered not a
word OF exhortation from the time he ex-
tended the Invitation until the close Of
the meeting.
He scored the theories of certain sects
that hell is not a place OF torture. He
declared that the Bible says there is one
and that's enough" II 1t says hell, 1t
means hell. don't 1t? the evangelist
asked, and the crowd showed its approval
by appla uding. What do you care what
kind OF torture II Is, so long as It's tor
ture?'
The "booze" industry failed in escaping
n closing blast from Sundays broadsides.

the Carpenters Union fayoring the clos

crowd oheered and called for DE Brew

to win approval and has been one OF

Winton Automobile Co. Lose Suit Against Roadhouse Keeper for
 Price of Road Truck.

The jury in the suit of the Winton Automobile Co.,, of Seattle, against .E. P. Cashman, the Wortman's road house keeper. brought in verdict for Cashman for the $500.00 he had paid as a part payment for an automobile truck, and also for $12700, the cost of freight on the car from the Spirit City to Valdez.
 The Winton Co. insisted that the car was as ordered and that when it was shipped from Seattle it was in first-class condition and that the fail ure to operate the car was due to in experience and lack of training on the part of the men employed by Cashman. Cashman insisted that the car was not as ordered nor as guar anteed by the company in its con- tract with him and therefore the con- tract was not binding.
 Attorne T. J. Dimond represented Cashman and Lyons and Ritchie the Winton Company.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1914
GERMAN DEsTRoYERs FAST.

Prior to the exploits of the sub- marine U-9 the destroyer service was deemed the most trustworthy depart ment of the German navy. Germany as early as 1888 built her first de- stroyer, and the type was soon to supersede the torpedo boat. In that year and the following she built two. And since then hardly a year has passed without her adding at least two to her flotilla. They have been gradually increased in length, but not always in displacement.
 When the war began she had twen- ty-nine ready for service and three building, the latest of which is S-31- 36, having six guns, a speed of 32.5 knots, and torpedo tubes. This de- stroyer is 1925 feet in length, but two built in 1911 and 1912 are 532 feet each.
 The typical German destroyer is a low-lying two-funneled vessel, with a high forecastle, on which the flotilla number is painted in huge white numerals The hul1s are construct ed of high-quality steel and combine great strength with remarkable light ness. Some of the boats possess great speed, having exceeded 35 knots on trial They are armed with four or five 19 3-4-inch torpedo tubes, with a couple of 21-pounder rapid fires and two Maxims. They are all equipped with wireless and have fuel capac- ity for from six to ten days.
 One advantage which the German destroyer is said to enjoy over the earlier British boats is the weather proof bridge, which shelters the off cers on watch.
 The German flotllas are manned by picked officers and have crews ranging from forty-eight to eighty three men. The latter are specially selected for their intelligence and all- round smartness and spend their en- tire three years service on destroy CTS.
 Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, head of the Imperial Admiralty, is an old torpedo boat officer, and his favor ite craft is the destroyer.-Ex.
