knew The Bible
"Father NeaIe," an Evangelist of
Washington's Time.
Advised Younu Preachers to Commit
the Holy Writ to Memory,
as He Did.

In these days when Billy Sunday &C.
cupies public attention, we recall an
evangelist preacher of Washington's
time, says an exchange. It was late
in life when Father Neale" was con-
verted and so great was his zeal that
he embraced every possible chance to
preach, and then preached as long as
the people would stay to hear him.
Full of anecdotes and fond of humor-
Gus stories, he amused the crowds that
gathered around him and often con-
verted some wandering sheep. he was
a carpenter by trade, and when he was
not preaching he was working, for he
never took any money from his au-
diences. His only book was the Bible,
and when he found young preacher
using a Concordance to aid him in find
ing texts he would say:
"Do as 1 do, study the Bible till you
know it by heart" And he had studied
it so thoroughly that he knew the least
incidents recorded in it, and could cite
them whenever they would come in
play. Once he heard a minister trying
to prove that the people could not nave
been immersed in the Jordan because
that river was so small that man
could dam it up with his foot. At the
close of the sermon Father Neale got
UP and said:
81 don't pretend to have any great
book learnin', but there's one book L
do know, and that's the Bible. Ihat S
my book. Now, our brother here says
the Jordan is so small that you may
stop it with your foot. His books may
tell him so, but my book tells me an
other story. I read in the Bible now
David, when he was flying from Absa-
Iom, and wanted to cross that same
river, had to hire a boat to carry MIN
over! That's what my book tells me !
Some of Father Neale's recollections
of Washington are little known to the
readers of today, and some have never
been published. Here is an anecdote
found in an old Journal:
"One of Washington's habits he
| mentioned as brought to Mount YER
non from the camp where everything
/ WAS SucE1uCeu u UISpdlCI' HhChS'SA
| Washington received note by priv
| ate messenger, he never asked the
bearer into the house, but usually took
| tie letter himself at the front door
| and read it standing with his head
bare in the open air. If it required a
verbal reply he gave it, and dismissed
| the bearer; or if he must write, ne re
tired to his office, wrote the answer
| and bringing it out, delivered it to the
! messenger with his own hand
Father Neale states that he was
once engaged doing some carpenter
work on one of the northeast windows
that opens upon the front piazza o1
the mansion at Mount Vernon, ant
several ladies were taking tea on th'
collonade Washington was walkin:
up and down joining in the converse
ton. One of the ladies asked him hi
opinion of some of the battles of Ma
poleon, the fame of which was thel
ringing through the world. Washing
toms reply, as heard by Father Neale
was in these words: Something NOR
than the art of man achieved thos
! battleS'"

SUBMARINES NOW HAVE A HARD Time
charges cause serious commotion over
a considerable radius.
Surface Signs May Be MISSING.

The correspondent was told of three
cases in the last fortnight in. which
submarines were thus destroyed. In
many instances, no doubt, submarines
are destroyed without any visible indi-
cation above the water of their loss.
Still others are badly crippled, as in
the case of the damaged German o.
boat which was recently interned in
Spain.
Another submarine which will never
return to Germany was sunk under De-
culiar circumstances a short time ago
This U-boat torpedoed ship bound
from the United States. It is extreme
ly unwise and unsafe to fire torpedo
at such close range, but the U-boats
must take their targets as they get
them these days. The torpedeed ship
was loaded with a cargo of heavy war
material and the explosion was so for
chile that it blew large piece Of
heavy material through the deck of the
ship and dropped it on the submarine
! as the latter was submerging. The hull
of the submarine was crushed like an
eggshell and she sank with all on
board

we skipped out into a nearby aban-

dazed, and yelled to him to come in.
There was such a row of the guns he
couldn't hear so one of the men went
out to bring him in out of danger. He
was in an awful state-trembling all
over-but we gave him some cigarettes
and he buckled up."

BARON Won STEUBEN

Indianapolis, Ind.-That Ba-

tionary war fame was properly
named Baron "de" Steuben and
was a Frenchman and not a
Prussian, is the claim of A. B.
Gardiner, secretary general of
the Society of Cincinnati, in a
statement made public here.
Baron "de" Steuben was of
German birth, but renounced
Prussia and owed allegiance to
France when he came to Amer
lea to help the revolutionary
cause, according to Gardiner.
He asserts that Steuben ex-
patriated himself after making
a glorious record in the seven
years war, but says the full
reason for his expatriating him
self probably will never be
known.

ALLIES GLAD
OF HELP FROM
UNITED STATES
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]


LONDON, March %, 3 80 a. m.-The
Times. commenting this morning on
the prospects of the United States en-
tering the war, says regarding a report
that has been received here that any
American action is likely to be con-
fined to the protection of American and
neutral interest on the seas and to
assist commercially and financially the
entente allies
IF we may say So without the slight
est suggestion of indiscretion, We have
no doubt that it is help of this kind
which would be most useful and most
welcome to the allies.
The Morning Post expresses the hope
hat whatever action the United States
may take it will include the placing in
the United States prize courts of all
German shipping interned there. The
newspaper doubts whether the United
states once in the war, could long
maintain the distinction between re-
stricted warfare and a full offensive.
II contends that the sole specific for
the submarine menace is to defeat Ger
many's main fighting forces and con-
troll her naval bases. The Morning
Post remarks in this respect that the
+ assumption that tne 1eutOnlc feet
cannot be destroyed as long as it re-
mains in port, has not yet been proved
ard specuiates whether it is Impossible
