peoples ~ the world upon whom the
curse and terror OF war has so pitt
lessly fallen. and 20 contri butte out oi
our abundant means 20 the relief of
their suTerings. Our people could,
in no better way, show their real at
titude toward the present struggle ot
the nations than by contributing out
Of their abundance TO the relief Of
the sufYerings which war has brought
in its train.
in witness whereof I have hereunto

NEW LONDON, Conn, Nov. H.
A report was received here this aft
ernoon from Plum island that
strange submarine with gun
mounted on deck had been sighted
toward the Midway Connecticut
shore near Bartlett's reef, Long ISL
and Sound.
The vessel was visible. according
to the report, thru a light snow
storm.
A report later from Plum island
said the submarine had disap-
peared Whethe- she submerged or
left by the surface was not stated.
Many here believe the strange
craft was the war submarine which
had been expected as a convoy for
the Deutschland II was argued
here that. inasmuch as the Deutsch-

FRANK ". GUNSAULUS
WORLDS GREATEST PREACHER 14OOO 900 BOOKS DESTROYED
DR.. Frank w. Gunsaulus, Writer and
Lecturer. at Our Chautauma.

Although DR.. Frank w. Gunsaulus
has been president of the Armour In
stltute since 1892, he is referred to far
and wide as the worlds greatest
preacher. During the first seven years
OF his presidency, he was also pastor
or the Plymouth Church and since
1899 has been pastor Of the Central
Church, Chicago, and, in addition to
looking after the 1900 students Of the
Institute, he has spoken every Sun
day morning in the great Auditorium
Theatre TO audiences such as very few
even Of the larger Chautauquas can
furnish him. Either one Of these jobs
would be large enough for most men,
but DR.. Gunsaulus finds time to lee
ture some, and has written some half
dozen books or more, although none
Of his lectures are in published form.
1t is not for us to measure the man
but rather this community will be
measured by the size of the audience
which greets this leadeE Of thought
when our high privilege of hearing
him comes this summer.
In scores of towns and cities, the
announcement Of his appearance
makes necessary the providing of
special or extra trolley cars to carry
the people who come to hear him from
surrounding towns. Better arrange to

cago Tribune says:
If there ever was q time for citizens
to write to their congressman it is now.
The nation will have TO intervene In
this railroad strike for self protection.
The nation wants justice done to both
sides. Justice will not come from per-
hitting n fight between the railroad
employees and employers.
All that can possibly come of It will
be intense suffering throughout the
country.
The public will not long maintain
the role of innocent bystander

DR.. Gunsaulus Preserves Four Valua-
BILE Manuscript Bibles.

DR.. Gunsaulus is authority for the
statement that no less than 100000
books have been destroyed thus far in
the present war. Thousands of these
are books, duplicates Of which exist
nowhere in the world.
DR.. Gunsaulus now has in his pos
session four manuscript bibles written
in the twelfth or thirt zenith century
1t is a tribute to his greatness that
DR.. Gunsaulus was selected to hOl2
these books in trust until the close OF
the war. He stated that they are doubt
less worth no less than $4,000, and
it has been learned that the monk
who wrote one OF the volumes spent
at least thirty to forty years on the
work. Each letter is in itself work
Of art. One of the books written in
France escaped destruction in 1853
when Charles the Fifth sacked Ter
roaine; it survived the French revOlu-
ton, the NapOleOnic sackings, and was
only last year spared destruction by
the Germans at Lorraine.
AS a Christmas gift to Ohio Wes-
leyan University, Delaware, o., DR..
Gunsaulus presented a collection of
rare and valuable manuscripts, papy-
rus rolls, and clay tablets from Baby
Ion, the most ancient specimens being
% BabylOnian tablets ranging in date
of origin from 500 to 2400 b. c. The
Doctor is graduate of Ohio Wesleyan.
