Highland Park for
Barring Saloons

Revival records were smashed at
the opening OF the Forsythe cam.
paign in Highland Park, Sunday. In
the face OF bitter cold wind and
altogether unpleasant day. the at.
tendance exceeded the opening of
any other revival held in this coun-
try, according to those who have
kept tab on such affairs.
Even standing room was not OBJ
tainable for all the late ones Sun
day night, when 5000 hocked to
hear the gospel message as ex'
pounded by the Rev. ELI J. Forsythe
The morning service started to
break precedents. At least $500 at
tended this meeting. At the same
time 1t was announced that the
morning collection. which goes to
finance the campaign, broke rec
ord so far as Forsythe meetings
we're concerned. In the afternoon
there we're about 5000, and at night
twice as many. The crowd began
arriving at Z o'clock every Wood
ward car and trailer from downtown
bringing its full quota.
No sooner was the service over
than plans we're being made to en-
large the tabernacle.
III there isn't room the first
night. thousands will be turned
away when the campaign gets in
full swing" said the Rev. J. f. Mar
tin, OF Trinity Methodist church.
"The record breaking crowd to-
night is a revelation said j. IL.
Johnston. chairman OF the executive
committee II will call a meeting,
probably tomorrow, TO arrange TO
enlarge the tabernacle. We have
40 feet yet to extend TO McI.ean-ave.
and this probably would accommo-
date 1900 persons"
The Highland Presbyterian quar-
tet cheir sang number. Sunday
night, and the orchestra from Trim
Ity NJ. f. church played. Charles
II. Forsythe's sympathetic voice was
heard in a gospel message IN song.
Mr.. Forsythe, in his evening ser
mon, began by defending revivals,
slamming the critics and fighting
factions in churches. He also took
fling at the liquor evil. praising
Highland Park because it allowed
no saloons.
IL know you haven't any saloons
and | pray God gives you the back
bone to keep your grip he said,
and the great crowd broke into
handclapping.
In the afternoon he said:
Some of us can remember when
we were boys that IL was consid'
cred smart among doctors TO drink
liquor. II there is any professional
man who should be Christian, II
Is a doctor. We don't want any
drunkards or drinking men to come
and stand at our sickbed. We can
remember when persons boasted OF
certain criminal lawyers OF whom
II was said that, with three or four
shots OF booze under their belts
they could make any jury weep and
the Judge, too. But we don't want
drunken lawyers to handle our bust
ness In the courts now. Thank Got
that those days when IL was con
sidered smart amonk professiona
men to drink, have gone, never Il
return"
Some people say 4 don't believ'
In revivals." Neither does the devil,
said Mr.. Forsythe, Sunday night
"Show me the church that doesn'
believe in revlvals and I'll shov

Million Shells a Day

Considerably over d million of shells
a day are being expended, and there
seems to be no limit to the supply OF
them. British infantry actions have
been limited thus far to raids under
cover of artillery and trench mortar
fire, which ascertain the state Of the
German wire and trenches. The new
type of British mortar is capable of
such rapid fire that six shots in the
air al once prove highly serviceable,
both in the cutting of wire and the
smashing of trenches.

Easement was a fanatic and his

Washington, June 30.-The state de-

inquiry of the German government as
to what punishment was inflicted upon
the submarine commander who torpe-

Gerard has brought no response.

that the submarine commander had been

reparation. Then followed the exchange
of note which resulted in the aban-
donment of what the United States de-
nounced as illegal and inhuman meth
DDS of submarine warfare.
Mr.. Gerard later was instructed to
ask informally how the officer respon-
sible for the Sussex tragedy had been
dealt with, but no steps toward final
disposition of the case was taken pend
ing a demonstration by the time that
the promise of a change in practices
would be carried out.
The American government since has
found no reason to complain of sub
marine activities. There remain to be
finally adjusted, however, the repara-
tion claims growing out of many cases,
including that of the Lusitania.

Mexico Memorandum
In Reply to Lansing
Is Defiant in Tone
Declares United States Has No Right to Main
tain It's Armed Forces on Mexican Soil

Mexico City, June 30.-The foreign
Office today issued a memorandum in
reply to Secretary Lansing's recent
note in which the correctness of as
sertions in the communication from
Washington were repeatedly denied.
The memorandum g. declares that the
United States had no right to main
tain it's armed forces on Mexican soil.
Although not in the form of di-
rect reply to the Washington note II
is considered equivalent to an answer
to that document.
Emphatically reiterating the Mex
leo governments position denying the
right of the United States 10 Keep
armed bodies in Mexico the memoran-
dunn denies energetically that the Mex
ican government has protected
bandits who had committed depreda
tions in the United States and defles
Washington to produce proof of the
assertion.
The note concludes by declaring
that the presence of American troops
in Mexico invites rather than prevents
bandit raids along the border
