Spain After U. B. Wheat

The Spanish government is taking
steps to secure an adequate supply of
grain until the next harvest. It's pro-
cedure will be similar to that which
other countries have been obliged to
adopt 1t will take over number of
Spanish vessels and use them to
convey cargoes of wheat and oats from
the United States to Spanish ports,
principally Barcelona. Rates of freight
by ship to Spanish ports have increased
in consonance with those of neighbor-
ing countries. The increase has in fact
been rather more pronounced than to
some French ports. For example, it is
nearly ten per cent. cheaper to ship
grain from the United States to Mar
seilles than to Barcelona because ship
owners give a preference to cargoes
destined to Marseilles, where there are
fairly certain of being able to unload
without delay.

The native Porto Ricans naturally prefer Span

Spanish, so that they may be of increased use

Say Messudieh Was a Hulk

In naval circles in Constantinople
it is maintained that little glory came
to the British submarine which tor
pedoed the Messudieh at the entrance
of the Dardanelles some months ago.
The Messudieh, it is claimed, was at
that time nothing but hulk, which had
been. stationed in those waters for the
purpose of making the inspection of the
entrance to the Dardanelles by means
of searchlights possible. In addition ma
val circles in the Turkish capital claim
that the British submarine did not dive
through mine field because the Mes
sudieh was stationed outside the field
several knots away from it, in fact.

At points where-troops are stationed

war has drawn into the ranks so many
artists, writers and skilled tradesmen
and printers that the resultant output
is often astonishingly good. All over
Europe, especially in districts that
have been conquered there are being
issued papers in the native language
for the purpose of educating the civii
population to the conqueror S viewpoint
and of combating the claims and state

THE MAN OF THE HOUR
In RELIGIOUS CIRCLES

Editor, the Star-Independent:
Dear Sir:tEver since the inception
Of the Rev. William A. Sundays work
in Philadelphia many of the common
people of Harrisburg have .4been inn
portuning US for some public expression
of our opinion Of the Rev. William A.
Sunday.
Thus far we have declined to grant
the requests. But, now, that our sill
ence is being interpreted as that of op-
position to the man and his work
have concluded to say a few things
about "The Man Of the Hour in Re-
ligious Circles"
The Rev. William A. Sunday is an
orator who cannot be analyzed. This,
of course, makes it impossible to say
just where his power lies. Unfortun-
nately he employs slang. He speaks
the language of the men Of the street.
This makes him man g preacher.
He uses the slang phrases that you
read in the press but every one con-
fesses that when they hear him use
them that they sound very different
from the way they read when in print.
His slang phrases are deliberately
adopted to arrest men s attention. But,
as the work progresses he eliminates
slang. He lashes the clergy and the
church unsparingly which l regret as
defect, and a hinderance, rather than
q help to the work he is trying to ac-
complish. 1t must lead some mer-
curial people to underate and possibly
even despise the clergy and the church.
But not withstanding all this he is
a man of wonderful power, born ora
tor, a magnetic leader, a fearless soul,
a charming personality, and an irresist-
able force. He grips everybody. His
only real critics are those who fail to
hear him. The moment one hears him
he melts away all their prejudice
however strong, and they become his
admirers. He wins college presidents,
students, professional men, business
men, working men, weary willies, as
well as the down-and- outs, and even
the society leaders.
College boys who listen drowsily to
the very best preachers, follow him in
his addresses, and will work for him
as for no one else. Thousands of stu
dents have been tremendously moved
by him. He fascinates the children.
He has a fund Of beautiful and effec-
tive stories and he tells them wonder
fully well. He has an eye for pictorial
effects and an instinct for picturesque
words. The press says much about his
slang, but / wish it would say more
about his peculiarly beautiful and eff
fective utteranees, for he is master
of perfect English
Some of his utterances are literary
gems, beautiful in conception, and per-
feet in finish.
He is what | call the man of the
hour in religious circles, and when peo-
pie hear him they are puzzled, startled
and become critical, but before he has
concluded, they will be among his ad-
mirers.

COURT HOUSE PLAN GOES OVER
Present County Commissioners Say
They Will Not Tackle Problem

The recommendation of the March
grand jury which suggested the erec-
ton of new court house to replace
the present antiquated structure, will
not be acted on by the County Com
missioners this year. That was made
known by the Commissioners this morn
ing. They think it unwise to begin
work now that their successors, who
will be elected next fall, would have
to finish.
The court house question, the Com
missioners said, would make many con-
ferences necessary between county and
city officials, for the, proposal is that
there be joint county and city build
ing. 1t is figured that by the time
plans could be prepared successors to
the .present City and County Commits
sioners will have been elected.
