Four Years sailor-Circles the Globe Three Times

tic Work-The Cyclone Salesman of Saving Grace.
arvc,one Salesman of Saving Grace"

"Cyclone Salesman OF Saving VIZ
While MIR. Smith was in Rico,
mond some time ago holding revival
services, a newspaper man who nap
pened to be passing through the Guy
was compelled to remain over 1or a
few hours. He noticed a poster IN
the lobby of the hotel advertising the
revival meetings which were in pro
Dress at the Second Baptist Church
and decided to attend. After hearing
the sermon he walked into news
PAPER office, sat down to typewrlt-
81, and wrote up the sermon, heading
it with "Gypsy Smith, jr., the cyclone
salesman of saving grace.
!, The impression which the news
paper man. gained Of the evangelist
was about the same as any one
might get upon hearing him. the first
time. But those who have listened
to his sermons during the past week
here in Alexandria have gained
different idea of him.
When in action he might be term
ed cyclonic, which is due to his earn
est, emphatic manner. He is not OF
the sensational type, although his
delivery at times is punctuated with
bomb-like explosives which serve to
arrest the attention of both saint and
sinner and cause them to see things
from a different angle than swhat
they may have been accustomed to.
He possesses an attractive, winsonie
personality, is quick as cat and
when driving: a point home will start
down the. platform and throw his
strong right arm toward the, eu-
dience with punch that Jess Willard
might we'll envy. Fortunately, for
his hearers, they are out of reach.
Those who have had the pleasure
of Mr.. Smiths personal .acquain-
tance in Alexandria have found him
delightful conversationalist, mod
est and unassuming. yet possessing
a sincerity that cannot be doubted
and which commands respect. sd
rather fail than cheaper the gospel
is an oft-repeated expression made
by him.
The evangelist takes especial pleas

awbo is Gypsy Smith, jr,, and
,,hore did he come from?" is a ques-
+ion which has been asked by many
neople in this city since the ar
,;val Of MIR. Smith in Alexandria 9
week ago. In order to gratlfy tnelr
curiosity the Gazette takes pleasure
in giving the following personal
sketch of the evangelist.
Mr.. Smith was born S5 years ago.
on December 81, at NeWcastle-on-
the-Tyne, England. His father a
Salvation Army captain, had just
gone to Newcastle to establish the
first corps of Salvation Army work }r
ers outside the city Of London. his
father is full-blood gypsy, while
his mother is an English woman, the
first convert Of his father.
Mr. Smith attended the pubic
schools. known as Tettenhali College,
at Wolverhampton, until he reached
the are Of Is years, when ne decla-
ed, to go to sea. He apprentlced to
. firm, of sailing vessel owners and
served for four years, then entered
the. steamer service.
He was connected with the
transatlantic liners plying from
Glasgow to New York, and rose 10
the. rank of junior officer. During
his sailing career he circled the "orla
three; times, touching at nearly all
important ports
He abandoned the sea career At 20
when he married Dumbarton, Scot
land. woman. He was in business IN
Manchester, England, for two years,
then came to New York as shipping
clerk for Max Solomon, the snlrt
king of America.
His conversion occurred in New
York City eight years ago Feeling
the call to 60 into evangelistlc work
and possessing naturally excellent
but uncultivated voice, he attached
himself to an evangelist in the New
England states for two years. Later
he was associated with DIR. Wilbur
Chapman for two years and during
the time was chorus leader and solo
list in the principal cities of the mid
die west.

DURATION OF THE WAR
Sir O'Moore Creagh Says it Will End

London, Sept. 12-,Grn. Sir OMoore
Creaeh, writing in the Weekly Dis
patch on "Why the War Will End
This Winter" says:
"Recent events on all theaters OF
war have been uniformly success"
ful for the allies. The Austro-Ge~-
man armies have everywhere rccely''
I'd severe blows. while their allies
are in precarious state. The cen
tral alliance has been defeated, nc.
crushed. The only acceptable finish
can be their complete crushing, s."
as to prevent further mischief.
at is. therefore, necessary to make
the German nation realize the hope
less situation before complete sur
render will be brought about. Already
the moral of the nation is affected.
The Germans no longer talk on an
nexing their neighbors' property
Their general staff bulletins are fill
ed with bigger lies than ever. These
stimuIants are required to keep ur
the peoples spirit.
"Hindenburg has no previous re-
cord to warrant the belief that nc
will retrieve Germany from the sltua'
ton which would be too much even
for Papoleon. His appointment Is
clear sign of a despairlng nation
Recent events point to the war being
near its conclusion.

London, Sept. 12-Gen. Brussllof
in an interview with the correspon
dent of the Daily Chronicle at tn
Russian front, predicts the end C
the war by August next.
'The Austro-Hungarian army, as
sailed from all sides," he said, won

the hordes of enemies who are hurl

no prophet; the future is in God
hands. But if | had to make hypc

"The present war is one which
is impossible for the allies to los'
although a great deal remains to b
accomplished. A successful result
already in our hands; the game is a
ready won."
