OECL ARt CHURCHES
 NED AWAKENING INTEREST AT LOW EBB LITTLE ROCK PASTORS DJs COURAGED-BLAME AUTOS
 AND ADJUSTMENTS
BY CLIO HARPER

Little Rock, Nov. .1.-What is tbA matter with the churches? That is 9 question of more than academical significance at this time, and it is he. ing asked with great seriousness bv many Little Rock pastors. It is a condition not unique to this section. but one that is attracting attention all over the country. Religious fer vor is at low ebb, and however church leaders may attempt to con ceal it, the churches are being SUD- ported in a half hearted manner that is most disconcerting to those who are attempting to extend the dominion of the Nazarene.
 There is one of the largest churches in Little Rock whose pastor has a standing rule that he will not deliver a sermon on Sunday night to less than ten people; and once or twice month he delivers no Sunday night sermon. Services at any of the churches are not attended by the masses of the people. Some of them report more people in the choir than in the pews. Last Sunday night one of the largest churches in Little Rock had only 151 people in the audience the discouraged pastor of the flock counted them himself.
 What is the matter with the churches? The question was pro-1 pounded to one of the evangelical pastors of the city. 'The people have gone amusement-mad,' said he. "The automobile as much as anything is taking the people away from the churches whole family spend the day joy-riding over the country. Their practice is that if anything in- terferes with the church, cut out the church. What Little Rock as well as the whole country needs is religious awakening. There never was time when big business is giving so much attention as it is now to church af- fairs; millions are being spent, but there is not the right sort of re- sponse from the people,
 i There are only few of the oV churches of Little Rock that are out of debt Most of them are struggling along with bonded debts and unpala bills-there are some that have not paid their choirs for months ana months. There are still thousands ol
 devoted church workers, all doing the
 best they can, but the fact remains
 undisputed by those who look the stu
 ation honestly in the face, that the church spirit is at very low ebb.
 What it needs is Billy Sunday
 to wake the people up," is the sug-
 gestion that some have offered. ke-
 gently an effort was made to bring
 Billy Sunday here for meeting IT
 the spring, but his time is taken. up
 so far ahead that no contract couiu
 )e made with him.

 A17[ND CIRCUS
From Saturdays Dailq.

From Saturdays Dailq.
 As an evidence that prosperity is among us, it might be stated that 280 tickets to Little Rock and return were sold at the local passenger station last night and this morning, which represents an expenditure of $42O for railway fare alone. The para mount attraction in the capital city today is Ringling Brothers circus. It is a safe bet that at least nine-tenth5 of those who purchased tickets to Little Rock will attend the show. And it is equally certain that the av- craze amount spent by each will be not less than $2.50, or $520 for the crowd, making total expenditure of at last $940 by local residents. And there will be another performance to- night, which will swell the total at least $200, it is believed. Besides those who went to the scene of the circus on trains, a large crowd went in motor cars.

PEDAuOCUES DtFfAT LAMBS, 200 ARKANSAS FOUGHT HARD NORMAL WINS ONE OF CLEAN EST PLAYED GAMES EVER
 STAGED HERE.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesday 8 Daily.
 For the second time within two weeks Coach G. Daniel Estes foot ball huskies defeated Coach Quigley's s Arkansas College Lambs on the Nor nal field yesterday afternoon by the score of 20 to 0. It was one of the hardest fought and cleanest played games ever witnessed in Conway. On ly two penalties, one for five and one for 10 yards, were inflicted by the off, cials. The spectators were kept thrill ed throughout, as it was anybody S game until the final whistle. The Normal eleven outweighed the Lambs probably lz pounds to the man, which, combined with the weari- ness of the visitors, caused by jour- ney of 15 miles in a crowded automo- bile, gave the Pedagogues slight ad- vantage.
 I The Normals 20 points were gar nered in the second period. The ball was kept in the visitors territory practically all of the first quarter but the necessary advance for score was not forthcoming. The period ended with the ball in Normals pos session on the Lambs 20-yard line : To start the second quarter, Donnell advanced the ball 10 yards on for ward pass. Then came a series of savage rushes, directed at tackle, the fourth of which, by Captain "Blondy' Goza, carried the pigskin over for a touchdown. Moore kicked goal. | The second marker came within 8 few minutes after the first, when with the ball on the NormaPs 3O-yard line, Sam Donneii cavorted around left end for a 45-yard gain, planting the ball on Arkansas 15-yard mark ,"Crooked" Legg advanced five yards over end, and Goza went over for 8 touchdown.
 The final counter was made by Donnell, when he intercepted for. ward pass and raced 30 yards, stiff arming Lambs right and left.
 The visiting eleven was one of tho deadliest tackling teams ever seer here Rarely did they miss downing their man in his tracks. The line pu up stubborn resistance and the Teach CTS found it difficult to penetrate.
 Warner and England played bes for Arkansas, while Captain Goza Dodson, Donnell and Clark shone fol the Pedagogues.

Heavy inroads have been made
into the American stock by the
warning European nations, which
is largely the cause of the expect
ed boom in this connection. Spec
ial attention is being given by the
Delaware State Fair Association
to the horse department of the
coming fair, as it is predicted that
much greater interest will be man
ifested in it this year. The breed
ing and the matured classes will
come in for a large share of atten-
tion and the fair will open a wide
discussion on the new pertinent
export question, it is believed.
The following article recently
appeared:
The war has made big inroads
upon the horse industry in the
Old World. BELGIUM, the father
of the great Belgian breed of
horses, has suffered a blow in the
extinction of that breed from
which it will never recover. The
raising of Percheron horses in
France has been made hazardous
undertaking. In fact instead of
importing horses the United States
is actually exporting thousands of
them for use in Europe.
The big, sound drafter, BILE to
ado a large amount of hard work
without effort, is the type that will
demand the most money in the fu-
ture. Such horses, free from
blemishes, strong, and we'll devel-
oped will be worth considerable
money in the near future. Such
at least, is the belief of horse
breeders.
Now is the time when every
community should jump into the
colt show business, and encourage
the production of horses of the
best type and breeding. There is
no other agency that does as much
to raise the standard of horse
breeding in a locality than a show
where colts sired by different
horses can be compared. 1t does
not take long for the colt raisers
to figure out which stallion is the
best one to use.

REPORTS FROM
PEACE CONFERENCE
Basket Picnic Followed By
Speeches

A basket supper held on the
lawn adjoining the Fourth and
West Meeting, last Saturday, was
followed by a peace meeting
under the auspices of the Della
ware Peace Society Echoes of the
great peace conferences recently
held at Lake Mohonk, and at the
Hague were given by DR.. S. G.
Mitchell, and Mrs. Lewis, of
Landsdowne, Pa, delegates to the
respective conferences.
DR.. Mitchell not only gave his
own impressions of the Lake Mo-
honk conference, but presented an
enlightening summary of the ad-
dresses and of the great personal
tiles gathered there-John Bas-
set Moore, Delawarean, who pre-
sided, and was a leader in the
Pan-American unity, one of the
key-notes of the conference; John
Barrett, director of the Pan-Amer-
ican Bureau; Miss Woolley, pres
ident of Holyoke College, whose
address was praised by Mr.. Moore
for its statesmanlike grasp; Pro-
fessor Clarke of Columbia, advo-
cate of English-speaking unity !;
Norman Angell., of London, Eng,
whose pronouncement against war
as an economic fallacy has been
like the discovery of steam; Sen
ator La Fontaine, the great Bel
gian, who was greeted with the
Chautauqua salute to show the in
ternational sympathy, Secretary
Garrison and General Wood.
Mrs. Lucy Biddle Lewis who
spoke on the "World's Peace Con-
ference at The Hague charged
the newspapers with being abso-
lutely untruthful in the reports of
disagreement and uncongeniality.
"A beautiful spirit of unity pre-
vailed" Mrs. Lewis declared.
"Opinions were at variance, and
no opinion was withheld, but
decisions were arrived at they
were accepted. Two subjects,
however, were forbidden-the
cause and conduct of the present
war and the neutrality of Belgium
The two dominating ideas were
that women are the greatest suf-
ferers from war and that the idea
that men fight to defend women
is false. In order to be a member
of the conference one had to be-
lieve in the right of equal suffrage
and international arbitration. The
conference in its resolutions came
out against international police
and in favor of an international
court of arbitration and a judicial
court and punishment of a recalci-
trant nation by economic and so
cial pressure; also for the teach
ing of history from a peace stand
point.
Jane Addams, who presided and
held the conference in hand with
wonderful command and grasp
was at first opposed to the delega,
tions visiting warning countries
but when the conference voted fol
it she consented to head one OF
the delegations.
Mrs. Lewis could tell nothing
of Belgium, because the German
usurping authorities required the
American travellers to sign a neu
trality paper, promising not tt
speak in an audience of any size
or before reporters. She found the
same gratitude, amounting almost
to alteration, showered on Amer
leans by the Belgians, that Other
travellers have reported.
Mrs. Lewis had some fine exam
plies of wood work-book racks
photograph frames, etc.-made by
Germans and Austrians in camps
in England. English friends are
paying them wages for the work
so that they will not be destitute
when the war is over, and are il

Tennis Players Compete
For Championship

The annual tennis tournament
for the Delaware State champion
ship drew an excellent entry list
as usual and some of the matches
in the first round of the singles at
the Wilmington Country Club
Monday were decidedly interest
ing. The appearance of A. E. Ball
of South Australia, lent an inter-
national air to the event, but the
Australian was beaten in the first
round by j. J. McClatchy, of Mer-
ion, in hard fought match. The
Antipodean started out we'll by
winning the first set As, but the
Merton man made short work of
the second and won 6-1. The third
was as we'll contested as could be,
four all and five all being called.

Clatchy winning on his own he

Those Locomotive Orders.

An order for 400 locomotives looks
big on its surface. The allies, particu-
larly Russia, have been buying loco
motives by the hundreds and many
orders have been placed in this coun-
try. Americans are apt to run to the
conclusion that each locomotive so or
dered is of the American standard. a
monster costing about s25,000 A rail
road man said recently that it would
be fairer estimate if every locomo-
tive order placed by the allies were
divided by five.
Il mean" he said. that one big
American locomotive is equal to about
five of the foreign locomotives. Some
or the foreign orders call for trench
locomotives, little dinkies of the Coney
Island type. They are Just little play
things compared with our tractors
They might better be called steam
trucks, but locomotives sounds bet
ter. New York Times.

During the first six months of the
present year there seems to have been
an alarming increase in the number Of
deaths and accidents on the public
highways. This increase is not con-
fined to any character For instance
the fatalities due to automobiles in
New York state increased from 1873 in
1914 to 241 this year. In New Jersey
during the same period there we're 4s
deaths and this year IS. Population
grows and SO does the number OF
vehicles in use On the highways. but
neither are sufficient to account for
this unreasonable increase Of deaths
On the highways. Drivers and pedes-
trians both have their rights. but the
observance of ordinary care on the
part Of the man in the vehicle and the
man on foot would undoubtedly cause
a big decrease in the number of avoid.
