BRYAN'S CAMPAIGN
AGAINST KING BOOZE

Philadelphia, March 17.-As a eli
max to temperance demonstration
in the Billy Sunday tabernacle dem
onstration which for enthusiasm has
probably never been surpassed in the
history of the temperance movement
/ in this country, Secretary of State
Bryan's appeal for recruits in to-
tai abstinence army was answered by
10000 men and young men.
! Billy Sunday, who had been sched
uled to speak from the same platform,
was unable to be present because of
his exertions during the day and need
for rest to complete his campaign
here.
Coming at the close of one of the
most remarkable speeches in his ca
reer as a temperance advocate Secre-
tary Bryan was literally swept off his
feet by the thousand who swept down
the sawdust trails in response to his
appeal for signers to pledge cards cir
culated through the immense audience
] by host of ushers. In the scramble
to enlist in the temperance army the
secretary was caught in the middle
of the fighting, punching shouting
perspiring throng and finally rescued
by detail of police summoned from
a nearby substation.
The audience, which numbered more
than 25.O00 and filled every seat in
the tabernacle, started with the song
"The Brewers Big Horses Can't Roll
Over Me-"
Lashed into frenzy of enthusiasm
by Secretary Bryan's arraignment cf
the liquor traffic and its terrible re-
suits, the throng cheered the speaker
until the rafters rocked.
/ Secretary Bryan's speech was a
slashing TRADE of the liquor traffic
Into the arena the Commoner figura-
lively summoned John Barleycorn, and
in an oratorical clinic dissected the
arguments of the liquor advocates and
cut them into ribbons with his sharp
thrusts. Putting aside bromides and
platitudes, Secretary Bryan appealed
to his audience on economic lines.
Taxation without representation" was
his arraignment of the liquor traffic
in the light of the new civilization.
With an array of figures Mr.. Bryan
showed that the United States spends
every year twice as much money as
that spent for maintenance of the fed
eral government. three times as much
as is spent for education, enough mon
ey to pay for six Panama canals and
enough to keep going European war
for six weeks.
The assemblage was non-sectarian
and non-political and really assumed
historical Importance in that it signal
lied the first meeting of a movement
fo,. TOM ,paranco which DrOmiSpc to AS
sumo nationwide proportions. Back
of all this loomed the fact that the
Billy Sunday evangelistic campaign
has stirred up great moral awaken
ing in Philadelphia.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-While Vienna
reports that the battles in Galicia are
increasing in extent and violence, Rus
sia maintains a mysterious reticence
concerning her military operations
there.
1t seems certain, however, that ex-
tremely important events, the full
significance of which are not as yet

the only point where Russian armies
can bring pressure to bear on the Bal.

Active operations in the Near East
are now centering in Albania, where
the Serbian army is said to be suf.
fering from harassing attacks made by
Albanian forces. From the progress
they have made in Albania, 1t Is pre-,
dicted the Italians will soon clash
with the Bulgarians in that territory.
: Paris papers assert the Entente
forces operating In Albania will soon
have the powerful support of Passab
Pasha, the Turkish leader there.
Athens claims that the diplomatic
situation shows growing cordiality be.
