TABERNACLE:
LISTEN TO DIR. WILLIAMS WAR
ON SIN - SERVICES TONIGHT
BEGIN EARLIER - SPEAKS TO
WOMEN ONLY SATURDAY..

There was a large crowd at the
tabernacle meeting last night. The
delegation from the Christian church
numbered about 400. DR.. Williams
hour in length and spared no words
on sin Tonight the services will
begin promptly at 7:30 and will close
at S:35, giving everybody chance TO
attend the entire service before going
to the concert. Tomorrow afternoon
the evangelist will speak to ladies
only on the subject: "How to Be
Happy Though Married" Sunday
morning, tabernacle services will be-
gin at 1915 when DR.. Williams topic
will be "The Perfect Gospel" Sun
day afternoon at three O'Clock the
evangelist will address men only, on
the topic Thou Shalt Not" This
address is said to be very interest
ing and helpful one, and should be
heard by every man in Ardmore.
DIR. Williams denounced the leth-
argy of the church people in Ard
more in bitter terms last night, and
said that there were fewer homes in
the city of Ardmore in which family
PRAYERS were conducted than in any
city of its size he had ever visited.
The evangelist condemned the Sunday
school teacher who dances, plays
cards and goes to theatres. He did not
stop at this, but bitterly denounced
Sunday baseball and said that there
was an ordinance in Ardmore pro
hibiting Sunday baseball within the
city limits and that the mayor had
taken an oath to execute the ordi-
nances of the city. What kind of
mayor have you, anyway? What
is man called who swears to a
thing and then doesn't do it?"
DR.. Williams says that he does not
believe in evangelism by excitement,
but approves sane scriptural teach
ings as means of reaching souls.
He stated further, however that from
this time on, he intends to make a
fight on sin wherever he may find it
existing in the city. He says that
Ardmore is a wonderful city in many
ways and that some of the best
people in the world live here, but
that it is the most Indifferent city
toward the churches he had ever
seen. He thinks his method OF
preaching is the kind our people
need and that his work will last
years after he is gone.
The ministers of the city met in
a body this morning and decided to
use their efforts and encourage all
the churches to use a like effort in
interesting the entire city in the
meeting from this time on. All busi-
ness men and professional men will
be asked, in the name of the church,
to give attention to the meeting
from this time on. They declare
that the churches of the city are an
important factor to its business and
social life, and that there should be
an awakening of all citizens to that
fact. They believe that the entire

With Gable Broken and Engine at Sitka refusing to work Alaska
 Is Isolated from Outside.

The government cable. which broke north of Sitka last Sunday morning, is still out of commission and although no advices to that ef- feet have been received by the local office of the Signal Corps it is believed that the cableship Burnside Is en route northward to make the repair. The Burnside was in drydock when the cable parted a few weeks ago near Seattle and has had ample time to be in commission again.
 Since the break in. the cable oc- cured the Alaska business north of Sitka has been handled by the naval radio stations at Sitka and Whitshed and gave good service until yester- day when the engine at Sitka went out of commission. No messages were received from the states since early yesterday morning except those coming via the Dominion line.
 The operators in the local office re- mained on duty up to late hour last night in hopes that Sitka would be able to overcome the dimculty but there was nothing doing and tic same conditions prevail today.

Side Stream Navigation Company will Have Fast Steamer to Serve
 Devils Elbow Camp.

Another new steamer to ply Alas
 kan waters is under construction m Seattle for Capt. Sid Harrington, of
 the Side Streams Navigation com pany, and she is expected to mark a new era of transportation on the Yu- kon and other interior streams for years, has secured the contract for transporting the ore from the Devils
 Elbow mine, about one hundred miles up the Stikine river to Wran- gell.
 The new steamer will be eighty five feet long, twenty foot beam and will have two eighty-horsepower Bhf-
 falo engines. Her twin screws are expected to give her a speed of IS miles an hour which will enable her Ito navigate the swift waters~ ~of-tha lStikine.
 A similar vessel has been built for service at Anchorage, but she has less power than the Stikine boat, hav- ling a speed of fourteen knots an hour. The Cook inlet carriers draft is six inches, but she is of the twin tunnel stern type, insuring plenty of grip for the screws. She will also be op
 erated by Capt. Barrington's con- pany.

0NE YEAR IN ARMY
 FOR EVERY YOUTH
Representative Gardner Advocates Paying Men More Money end
 Advancing Them Faster.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-"Compul. ssory military training is one of the xnest pieces of democracy that neces- sity has ever put before the Ameri- can people," said Representative Au- xustus P. Gardner, of Massachusetts, speaking on preparedness before tEe National Security League. He sug- xested that every American youth serve at least one year in either the land or sea forces, as a means of in- ereasing the army to 250,00e fighting men, instead of 114,000 as planned by Secretary of War Garrison and likewise increasing our navy.
 'sWe ought to secure as quickly as posasible the second place among the nations for our navy, no matter what it coats." he said.
 "As a matter of fact, we should be tn first place, but 1t is necessary first to get into second place.
 '.ln my opinion there is going to he something doing," he said refer ring to the administration defense plans, Out that would be rendered a certainty if the administration would only. come out and tell the people where we stanu; whether the United States is first, second, third or fourth among the world powers. They tell us the army and navy are strong, but they should be stronger.
 Secretary Garrison is patriot" I don't intend to drop monkeywrenches into his machinery, so l will refrain from making any criticism on his plan.
 There are only two ways by which we can get 260,0D8 more men-first, by going into the labor market and paying the men more, and, second by giving greater chances of promotion to the enlisted men in the army"
 He declared that we cannot expect to have soldiers, if we go on paying them only $15 per month. In time of war no national guard officer should rank above major, he said. Representative Gardner characterized the continental plan for an army as inadequate, stating that we must have a good, reliable national army.

Initiation was Made the Occasion of Celebration with Refreshments
 in Great Abundance.

Valdez Aerie, Fraternal Order ot Eagles, held rousing meeting last night and celebrated the initiation O Ia new member into the fraternity.

 moting the best interests of the com
 munities in which they reside.

NORTHWESTERN DUE
 ABOUT MIDNIGHT
Will be Delayed Twenty.Four Hours Discharging Freight for Rail-
 road and Interior Mines.

Cable advices from Cordova state that the steamer Northwestern reach ed that place at o'clock yesterday afternoon and would be delayed twenty-four hours unloading freight
 before leaving for Valdez.
 It is believed that the steamer car ried large quantity of freight for the Copper River and Northwestern railroad as we'll as a big shipment of machinery and supplies for the cop per and placer gold mines in the in- teriOr.
 Although no advices have been re- ceived regarding the blockade on the railroad caused by the recent heavy storm, it is believed that trains are again in operation as Supt. Corser had prepared for such emergencies. The heavy shipments of high grade copper from the Kennecott mine with the present price of copper would ensure every effort on the part of the railroad people to keep the line open to traffic.
 The passengers on the Northwest ern as cabled from Seattle are Miss Kussman and Mrs. Berger Helen Van Camper, of Latouche, is also a passenger on the steamer en route to her home from an extended visit in the eastern states.
