TO USE TRACTORS
Heavy Batteries May Have Motors
in Place of Horses,

Equipment of all army heavy artil-
lery batteries with motor tractors in
stead of horses is forecast in a report
on recent tests made at tho artillery
school at Fort Sill, Okla The artillery
board found that in addition to giving
the heavy guns greater mobility and
efficiency. Equipment with gasoline mo-
tor tractors would result in a reduc-
ton in original cost and maintenance
charges. 1t will cost $4,000 less per
battery. 1t is estimated, to provide mo-
tor tractors than to provide horses,
and the annual upkeep expense at that
rate will show $4,000 saving.
The board found that the motor
equipment had many tactical advan-
tages over horse teams, enabling the
big guns to be Unanswered at night
and in less space than the horse bat
terfes required.

WHAT IS A REVIVAL"
Evangelist at St. Paurs Church
breaches From This Topic, And
Tells of Conditions Necessary to
Create a Real Revival of Religion.


Evangelist Morgan Lee Starke
preached again last night at St.
Paurs M. P. Church, the auditorium
being we'll filed with members and
friends of the church. Mr.. Starke
preached on the subject, What Is a
Revival?" He said that so often in
his work people asked this question.
that he wanted to make it plain at
the outset what a revival really is,
and what is expected of church men,
bers in order that the best results be
obtained.
Rev. Mr.. Starke uses many Of the
Billy Sunday movements during his
discourse, but he drives home plain
truths with force and vim that will
no doubt be productive of much
good. He will preach again tonight
at 100 O'Clock, at st. Paul's Church.

WASHINGTON COLLEGE
CLOSED TEMPORARILY.
Students Given Weekend on Ac-
count of Lack of Proper Heat at
School, Occasioned by Destruction
OF William Smith Hall.

Chestertown, Md, Jan. 17.-Fol-
lowing the destruction of the Will
liam Smith Hall by fire yesterday,
President James w. Cain called a
meeting of the board of visitors anr
governors of Washington College. At
this meeting DR.. Cain was authoriz-
ed to confer with Contractors w. S.
and A. NJ. Culp and Plumber William
G. Cutton looking to the removal Of
the debris of the burned building
and the tearing down of the walls.
The several insurance companies car
rying risks on the burned building
refused to allow the work of clean
ing away the debris to proceed until
their adjusters had examined the
ruins, and this, together with the
condition of the boiler pipes, forced
the faculty to determine that it will
be advisable to close the college I'M
til the remaining buildings can be
properly heated and provided with
the necessary equipment for con-
Quoting class work.
President Cain therefore gave per-
mission to the students to go to their
homes, to return in time fof the re-
opening Monday morning next. The
UOdTu Ol NlSlIOTS dlSO gave LIZ Cdlu
authority to confer with builders
relative to the immediate rebuilding
of the burned structure and as soon
as the insurance adjusters have fin
ished their inspection the work o,
clearing away the debris will begin.
The treasurer of the college, Eben
F. Perkins, examined the insurance
policies this morning, and found that
the total insurance on the building
and contents is $4,000. An effort
will be made to induce the present
legislature to assist the college au-
thorities financially.
1t is impossible to estimate the
loss on the contents of the building.
President Cain states that many of
the old records and archives of the
college can never be replaced. Near
ly all of the student body left by
train this afternoon for their homes,
to remain until the resumption OF
class exercises next Monday morning.
