Will Hold Six-Weeks'
Campaign On Grind
ley Field
TABERNACLE
WILL SEAT $4,000
Boston Yields To De-
trOit and Sets Back
Campaign Date

As recently forecast In The Times.
the Rev. William A. (Billy) Sunday
noted evangelist, has accented an
invitation to come 10 Detroit for a
revival campaign. II Is now def
nitely announced tnat the campaign
will begin Sept. 3. and viii last six
weeks. A tabernacle seating $4,000
persons will be erected on the old
d. A. c. grounds. now known as
Grindley field. at Woodward and
Garfield-aves. This IL the most
central location ever secured for a
Sunday tabernacle in any large
city.
The Detroit committee which
finally has persuaded the fiery base
ball evangelist to come here. has
been working more than a year to
attain this end. A few months ago
II was announced Sunday would not
como. having accepted an invitation
from, Boston instead. But the De-
troiters kept persissentiy at IL. and
finally Boston yielded to the fact
that Michigan had statewide dry
fight on its hands and agreed TO set
its date back two weeks.
As evidence OF how great man
Sunday really Is in the eyangelistic
field and OF the urgent demand for
his services. IL has been two years
since Detroit first opened negotia-
tions with him. And IL Boston had
not yielded. II would have been i'm.
possible to sign him for September.
The invitation to come TO this
city was extended through a COM
mittee OF prominent ministers and
laymen. who have made several
visits TO the evangelist. The men,
bers OF the committee are c. VI.
Carson, the Rev. r. II. Pence. the
Rev. n. Lester Smith. 8. S. Kresge.
A l.. Parker and James Schermer-
horn
Wonderful results have attended
Sundays campaigns in other cities.
and II is expected that he will stir
Detroit as II has never been stirred
before. II ia not an unusual spec
tacle at the Sunday meetings TO
see several thousand persons hit
the trail | ma single evening. And
large percentage OF his converts
are permanent. Investigation has
shown.
Sunday carries his own organlza-
tion, which includes II persons.

What Is keeping the public from

financial leaders are upon the stock
market, but where are their pock.
etbooks?
THE news of the day as II re-
lates to finance. industry and poll
ties Is not such as to discourage
speculation, and yet speculation
languishes. In the metal trades
one sensation after another Is
breaking upon the attention Of Wall.
stand yet steel and copper shares
refuse to bulge. Profits of $50.
100000 to $90,O00oo0 are gossiped
as just ahead for the United States
Steel Corporation and the elite
among "coppers" are earning any
where from 80 per cent to 40 pei
cent on their selling prices, but the
facts and figures fall upon indiffer
ent eyes and ears. 4sss - K
What is the trouble. Some o
the big market campaigners are still
away on vacations or are clearing
their desks after their return. Per
haps this affords partial explana
tion, but 1t is not enough. Can II
be the fear OF a muss with Ger
many? Certainly the outlook is nc
more alarming than il has been
dozens Of times during the past SIX
months when big markets were In
progress. Many fnanciers declare a
break with Germany would be
financially helpful.
"Can II be the fear that Roose
velt's hat is TO be again thrown
into the political ring for my rule
or ruin policies.
Whatever the real cause there Is
an uncanny mystery pervading the
atmosphere which cannot be clear
ly defined. II Is an intangible yet
positive influence which is holding
back the public from active stoch
market participation.
Last week there was announced
the biggest single copper sale ever
negotiated-200.0 100000 pounds and
over of the red metal sold to the
British government for 27 cents q

But the copper stocks are not dis
turbed from their slumber."

Death Rate Among De-
trOit Booze Sellers
Is 30 Per Thousand
80 SUCCUMBED
IN PAST YEAR
Voluntary Surrend-
ers" Will Cut List to
1887 This Year

A saloonkeeper is poor insur.
ance risk. The mortality rate
among Detroit saloonkeepers for the
past year is almost twice the nor
NAL death rate.
Since May 1, 1915. 80 saloonkeep-
ers have died. The number OF Ii.
censes granted a year ago was L.
BIT.
The normal death rate for the city
is trifie over Is per 1000, includ'
ing infants.
The death rate among Detroit sa-
loonkeepers up to April IA. 1915, is
almost 80 per 1000.
These figures present a strong ar
sument for prohibition. All the
saloonkeeper has to do is to stand
behind a polished bar and shove
across a bottle Of rum or schuper
OF beer. There is nothing laborious
or dangerous about that.
Drink ID the cause OF the high
mortality rate among saloonkeepers.
The saloonkeeper who Is a teeto-
taller is rare exception. Some sa-
loonkeepers are occasional drinkers,
many are nibblers. and many are
heavy drinkers. Brights disease or
pneumonia is commonly given as the
cause Of death among saioonkeepers
Brights disease Is often brought on
by excessive drink. Pneumonia is
nearly always fatal when the con
stitution OF the victim has been i'm
paired by strong drink.
In 1913 the death rate among 10
cal saloonkeepers was ia per 200
in 1914, 21.9 per 1000. and in 1915,
16.8 per 1000. The increased mum
ber of deaths during the 1916 IT,
cense year can be attributed to the
unusual prevalence OF pneumonia
caused by unreasonable weather.
The council committee on liquor
regulation Will not attempt to re
new any licenses that have been
automatically revoked by the death
OF the owner. This will result In a
reduction of at least 40 licenses. Ac-
cording to present figures, 1898 will
be the maximum number OF new H.
censes that the council will grant

Germany, though displeased by this
governments delay in accepting the
Lusitania's concessions Is not likely
to withdraw her last note and terms
of settlement, it is thought.
Delay of the entente allies in for

their proposed course regarding mer-

negotiations with Berlin
The joint note from the allies,
promised by British Ambassador
Spring-Rice, has not yet been trans

Independent of any position the
allies may assume, however, the ad.
ministration is now practically COM
mitted to the demand for a pledge
from Germany that all future subma-
rine warfare comply with established
international code.

preparing to begin an inquiry into al

niralty to merchant ships to take

America May Not Recognize
New German Submarine
Warfare Program.

WASHINGTON, Feb. I8.-Two
branches of the American govern
ment considered final formulation OF
policies regarding submarine warfare.
With negotiations between the state
department and the German embassy
apparently at a standstill for the mo-
ment, President Wilson and his cabi-
net and the senate debated the ma
tion's future course.
Support from both republicans and
democrats in the senate was promised
for the administration stand against
recognition of Germany's new ad-
miralty order to sink armed mer-
chantmen without warning beginning
March l.
Today's cabinet meeting had to con-
slider the question of whether for
NAL protest would be made to Ger
many against the new decree. It was
believed the administration would de-
eide against a preliminary protest
and await actual developments. Ad-
ministration leaders profesSed little
reliance today in suggestions from
German Ambassador Bernstorf that
Germany may postpone the proposed
campaign against armed merchant
vessels. State department officials
believe Bernstorff suggestion was
made on his own responsibility, with
out authority OF the Berlin foreign
once and prompted by desire to
get an immediate settlement Of the
Lusitanta case.
