Why Not Full Suits Of Amor?

Baptists And Gen. Funston

Baptists of Texas and Baptists generally, are raising
considerable of hullabaoo about Gen Funston and his
action in refusing permission to their revivalists to
hold the usual of revival services IN certain sol
der camps on the Rio Grande The churchmen are so
exercised over the matter that they declare they are
going 70 make it national issue, going TO the
9onf of asserting-n letter the signature Of Dr.
7 B. GambreIl-that if the president Of the United
States should take such position Gen Funston, IN
the final analysis he would be subject TO impeach-
ment"
Now let's see Just what Gen Funston did to merit all
this ceusure According to the letter of Dr. Gambrell
himself Col Malvern Hill Barnum chief of staff TO Gen
Funston said:
GAs we understand II. II proposed that some
Ia OF 20 ministers enter the camps. / explained the
proposaI to General Funston who said he had
objection to the holding OF services for religious
instructions but that he wanted no reyiyals and
did not desire that should be told that they
lost
HThst is a correct statement of what occurred and
that IS the basis of the Baptist protests says Dr. Cam
brell In his letter.
Gen Funston, in an interview recently, said;
~When the question of revivals was preached, Col
Barnum acting under my instructions. Informed
Dr. GambreIl that there Is objection 10 religious
meetings so long they conducted along ae-
cepted lines at the proper time and place He
ponted out that not to be considered lost
Dr. Gambrel did not view the matter IN the same
light
"This is a perfectly correct statement of what
Cured" again says Dr.. Gambrell-
It remains mystery just what all the disturbance IS
about.
Here IS delicate question looming up for settlement:

In the light OF present negotiations between tne

fare few things impressed themselves upon
the minds of Germans than the publication IN the Loka
Anzeger Of statistics intended prove that the United
States is now furnishing nearly half the ammunition
and their allies The statistics are supposed to INCLUDE
figures from Philadelphia, Boston, Newport News and
BRIDGEPORT and the Anzeiger's statement says;
"The total of half the New York exports according
to September customs figures is S270oooOOo Ot these
explosives hand grensdes and shells amounted TO S|0-
100000. smokeless powder TO 50,oooooo and various

Of $50, 100000.
an addition to these items Of death dealing nstru
