Gerard EXPECTS
GERMANY'S reply
IN SUSSEX Case
Continued from First Page.

AOulluuNu AlOLl II ob 4 o6Ns
ernment today replying to the query
as to whether a German submarine at
tackled The Sussex.
The nature of this governments evi-
dence in the Sussex case continues to be
a. secret. 1t was described today, how
ever. by high authority to be "strong
enough TO convince the President and
Secretary Lansing that a German sub
marine attacked the vessel but perhaps
not conclusive enough, as it stands, tc
warrant the breaking of diplomatic re-
lations.'
In the cases Of four other vessels, tor
pedoed within the last two weeks, about
which this government inquired of Ger
many. Berlin declared there was no VIC
lation of its assurances TO the United
States, according TO press reports from
Berlin.
The President and members of his
cabinet. however, are said to see in the
recent sinking of ships in the English
Channel and endangering of American
lives, an attitude on the part Of Ger
many deserving of a sharp check. Faced
by some difficulty in proving individual
cases. there is strong belief in Ofiicia
circles that the President may base his
action now upon the cumulative evi
dence that Germany is disregarding as
surances given this country.
The administration viii act upon iti
own evidence, regardless of the German
findings, if that evidence proves suif
GENTLY strong.

Always a lover of the sea-Mr
he took advantage of his doctors orders
for a seatrip by engaging passage on
a freight schooner bound for the West
Indies, and, thanks TO the hurricane of
1910, the hurricane that sent seventeen
other schooners to the bottom-made
the longest passage ON record, forty
three days from Sandy Hook TO San

Dean was on deck, lashed to one of the
masts and succeeded in getting some
very rare photographs of the storm.
These pictures will be shown upon
screen and the story of his trip will
form a prelude to his lecture.

MISS CAROLYN A. HOsFORD
Young Women's Worker with Ste
phens Evangelistic Party.

Sunday was a big day at the Penns-
grove Tabernacle. where Evangelist
Stephens and party are holding a six
weeks campaign. Although the morn
ing and afternoon crowds we're some
what hampered by the weather condi-
tions. the evening service started with
an audience that taxed the building to
its capacity.
The chorus choir was at its best and
the opening song service and special
messages in song brought forth re-
sponse from the tabernacle crowd.
At SIS o'clock Mr. Stephens began his
sermon on the subject. as advertised (;
Five Reasons Why Every Man and
Woman in Pennsgrove Ought to be a
Christian" and for an hour and a
quarter he held his audience in a
rigid attentive attitude and without the
slightest indications that they were
restless. they listened to the truth oi
the message.
In brief. Mr. Stephens gave a. th'
flve reasons: First. that every IN
saved man and woman ought TO be (
Christian because OF what II cost 4
give them salvation; secondly. be
cause u was Gods first desire tha
men and women should seek frs
the kingdom Of God; thirdly, be
I cause the way had been made so easl
without money and without price
B. but through the blood of Jesus Chris
and the acceptance OF Himself; fourth
d. ~. because Il was the most unrea
sonable thing not to do; lastly. be
cause IL wa0 the only safe way tC
dis by.
The address came with great power
and men and women we're deeply
moved all over the congregation and
many persons met Evangelist Ste
+ phens at the front OF the tabernacle
and were afterwards taken into the
/ inquiry room. where they were dealt
with personally and individually by
some member OF the party. Many
accepted Christ.
