NEEDS PENTECOST
Bryan Holds World Not Look
ing for Armageddon.
Nebraskan Raps Wilson and
L. R. on Bible Usage.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Former Sec
retary Bryan today added a chapter
to his disagreement with President
Wilson over the question of national
defense by issuing a formal staten tent
in comment on the presidents recent
quotation from the Scriptures in sup
port of his advocacy Of military pre-
paredness. The same quotation had
been used sby Colonel Roosevelt in a
recent published article.
1T is not surprising that Mr.. Roose-
welt should consult the Old Testa m ent
rather than the New" said Mr..
Bryan's statement, because he classes
Christ with the mollycoddles, but why
should the president, a Presbyterian
elder, pass over the new gospel, in
which love is the chief cornerstone
and build his defense upon a passage
when the children of Israel was sup
rounded by enemies?
'It is all right for Mr.. Roosevelt to
sound the trumpet because all colors
are red to him. He sees armies
marching against US from every direc-
ton, but the president is a man of
peace and he is in a position to know
that no one is threatening to attack
us. 1t is surprising, first, that in look
ing up Bible authority, he should ig-
more the teachings of Christ, and, Sec
ond, shat he should select a passage
that refers not to preparation against
imaginary dangers but immediate ac-
tion to meet an attack actually made.
What the world needs today is a Pen
tecoSt, not an Arma geddon.'

is reported in a dispatch from
Sofia by way of Budapest.
According to this information
the battle occurred between
Krivolak and Prilep. The allies

in killed or wounded of the allies,
it is reported a large number of

Teutons RepuIse Russ.
An offensive movement undertaken
by the Russians in the Riga district is
said by the war office today to have
failed. An advance was attempted
vainly against the German positions
near Kemmern, 20 miles west of Riga.
Strong Russian attacks at Jacobstadt
also were repulsed and one officer and
lit men were captured. The Russians
also took the offensive in the region
of Czartorysk. They attempted to
break through the German lines north

SHIP is kFIRE AT SEA
Italian Steamer Livietta in Peril; Yes
sells Battle to Save Her.

Galveston, Tex, Nov. 1O.-The Ita1-
ian steamship Livietta, from Port Ar
thur for Buenos Aires with a cargo of
case oil, is in flames sixty miles off
Sabine bar. Little hope is enter
tanned that the ship will be saved.
Efforts are being made today to get
the steamer into shoal water, but the
extreme heat is making the task diff
ficult.
The tank steamship Gulfstream,
which reported the fire by wireless
early today, and the tugs John Sealy
and Russell, are trying TO save the
burning ship, and the tug Senator
Bailey, which is equipped with fire
fighting apparatus, left early this
morning for the scene.
The crew of the Livietta was taken
off by the tug Russell shortly after
1 .dnight last night.
According to reports received here
the ere started yesterday afternoon
in hold No. 8. This morning the
fla mes had spread to No. hold, and
were burning fiercely.
There is no information as to how
the fire started. The Livietta, a ship
of 1,T09 tons, sailed from Genoa for
Port Arthur on October and had
sailed for Puenos Aires yesterday after
noon. The quantity of the cargo is
not known here.

SEARCH U. S. SHIP
British Go Through Vessel in
Neutral Mexican Port.
InSOIent John Bull Tactics of
1912 Are Revived.

Washington, Nov. 1o.-The Ameri
can steamer Zealandia was forcibly
searched by a party from a British
cruiser last week while lying in the
port of Progreso, Mex. The American
consul there reports the cruiser now
is lying outside, presumably waiting to
seize the ship.
On the face of such a report as the
consul sent, even though incomplete,
the official conclusion here is that the
British naval authorities not only vio-
lated Mexican neutrality but far ex-
ceeded their rights in forcibly search
ing an American ship in a neutral
port.
Ship Under Suspicion.
The Zealandia figured much of late
in reports of the investigation of Brit
ish who were on the trail of ships
supposed to be fitting out in the
United States for attacking oil carry
ing ships from Mexican fields where
the British navy draws great proper
ton of its supply of fuel oil;
The Zealandia has no change of
registry involved as in the case of
many other American ships since the
beginning of the war, but was origin
ally a Hawaiian ship which came un-
der the American flag at the time of
the annexation.
On October Z the Zealandia myster-
iously left Pensacola, Fla, at night,
clearing for Tampico, Mexico, carrying
a large stock of provisions and man
ned by a crew of German. An Ameri-
can flag painted on her hull had been
painted over and it was reported that
while at sea she flew the German
co1orS although that was flatly denied
by her owners.
Carried Rosin Cargo.
The ship moved from Tampico to
tCampecl1e where British agents To-
Gated her and reported she bore a
large quantity of rosin for which there
was no ostensible use in Mexico al
though it is used largely for making
shrapnel. They also reported their
suspicious that she bore a large
quantity of copper and the British
view was that the ship was waiting
for an opportunity to slip out with
the cargo for some port where it
would find its way to Great Britain's
enemies.
Nothing further of her movements
was reported until today when the
American consul reported she had
been forcibly searched in port by a
party from the British cruiser which
had been lying outside.
A Serious Matter.
The forcible searching of an Ameri-
can ship in a neutral port probably
would constitute one of the most
serious issues to arise between the
United States and Great Britain in the
controversy now in the channels of
diplomacy over the British navy's con-
duct toward American shipping.

Great Anxiety in Rome.
Rome. Nov. 8. 9:20 p. m. (via
Paris).-The Italian liner Ancona,
sunk in the Mediterranean by a sub
marine, had on board eighty-three
first cabin passengers, sixty second
cabin and 339 steerage.
Few details have been received at
this hour concerning the sinking of
the Ancona. News of the loss of the
vessel caused the greatest anxiety in
Rome
The first report of the sinking of
the Ancona said there were 422 pas
sengers and sixty members of the
crew on board. According to the fore
gong QlSpaIcn. however, the numDer
of passengers was 4S2, which, with
crew of sixty, would give a total of

to advices last night, 27O survivors
were landed This makes a total of
324 survivors thus far accounted for.

I'VE do not believe Mr. Mccormick

800 PERSONS DROWNED
BY THE T0RPEDOING
OF ITALIAN ANC0NA
WASHINGTON Is STARTLED;
new CRISIS THREATENED
WITH vienna GOVERNMENT

Washington. Nov. 10.-Def-
mite information concerning
the sinking of the Italian lin
er Ancona by submarine fly
ing the Austrian flag was anx-
iously awaited today by Of
ficials of the United States
government. Dispatches con-
tanned little information, 9TH
er than that the ship had been
sunk with the loss of 800
lives received here early today
created a sensation in official
circles.
Should it develop that
Americans aboard lost their
lives and that the steamer was
torpedoed without warning,
the American government
probably would demand of the
Austrian government the dis
avowal of the act or repara-
ton and assurances that there
would be no repetition of the
incident.
Secretary Lansing indicat-
ed today the United States
would await for a reasonable
time, an official report on the
sinking of the Ancona, but
that if official word is not re-
ceived within a reasonable
time, the department will in
quire into the affair through
the embassy at Rome.
Department officials said
they had made no request of
American Ambassador Page
or any consular officials.
They explained that as a mat
ter of duty, the nearest Amer
lean consular officer to Bier
ia wetl5 make a report, espec-.
tally if any American lives
were lost. Dean B. Mason,
consul at Algiers, about 800
miles east Of Bizerta, is the
nearest American officer.
