Father Mcmahon referred to st. Win.
cent Ferrer, a revivalist of the Fran.
ciscan Order. who in 1899 wandered
through Europe with an organization
similar to Sundays preaching and
making converts for the Church. He
then continued:
There is the contrast OF the luxu.
rious home which Sunday always
establishes for himself in every city
he visits as compared to the bleak
austerity OF the middle age mon.
asteries. Sunday takes his own
cook with him. his valet and mas.
seur to rub him after his sermon is
finished. He spends his leisure at
baseball games and in his automo.
bile.
"st. Vincent Ferrer did not have
trained ushers to take up his coiIee.
tIons. He had no financial status In
the credits OF his day that totaled
close to 100000, the present Dun
and Bradstreet rating Of Billy Sunday.
! tell you Il 10 not absurd to question
the motives Of a religion which seems
to hold nothing more tangible than the
mere gathering OF money.
"We can not quarrel with Billy
Sunday over the perfection OF his ma
chine. Our objections are much deep.
er than that. maintain that the Cos
pei OF Sunday Is not the Gospel OF
Christ. He destroys without building
up. Those who are fed on his highly
spiced brand OF religion, can not con
tent themselves with the ordinary
commonplace services Of their church
after he has gone"

The danger to the Tobacco Industry

bacco growers throughout the entire
South. the News says, are worried
over the methods resorted to by the
"drys," and are aroused over the sit

people who are waging war on liquor
are equally determined to abolish to-
bacco. Speaking of the movement for
national prohibition, the Times de-
clares:
Here Is what Is worrying everyone
who has any interest In tobacco:
Should the Anti.Saloon League be sue
csssful. the Federal Government will

troops the war department urged Con.
grsss to provide for also cost barrels
Of gold dollars. Therefore, the pres.
ent Administration faces deficit this
year OF something like 10000 900
and the end is not yet In sight
With nationwide prohibition there
would be another deficit of $500, ,000,-
900 and the tobacco people fear they
will be asked to bear the brunt Of this
loss. This would force the manufac.
turers to boost the price OF cigarettes
and cigars with the consequent result
that people would stop using them and
. slump In the price of tobacco would
follow with great loss to the great in.

OF North Carolina.

that nationwide prohibition would

Vice Admiral Eduard Won Capelle

Vice Admiral Won Capelle announc'

that a plot had been discovered in the
navy to paralyze the efficiency of the
fleet and force the government to
make peace. He said that the guilty
parties had received their just deserts

Washington, Oct. 12.--Discussion Of
the advisabllity of expediting the cali
for the second increment of the draft
army now is in progress at the war
department and 1t appears likely that
the date may be fixed for some time
in December or January.
Mobilization of the first increment
of 6S7,000 men is now far enough
advanced to show clearly that there
will be a big deficiency for the seven
teen national army divisions. More
than 250,000 of the first increment
are still to be assembled, but it al
ready is evident that there will be
available at the sixteen cantonments
quarters for an additional regiment
at each post and at some for full
brigade of two regiments.
Shortage of Men shown.
The strength of the new regimen
org 'lzation is $500 men. With a
mot lacking at each cantonment,
a-une would mean a shortage of
nearly $4,000 men. In addition there
has been authorized separate divi-
sion of negro troops, which means
nearly 10000 men withdrawn from
the original number assigned to the
sixteen environments.
The shortage is due partly to the
necessity Of taking out Of the nation
al army men to fill up national guard
divisions, Two complete national
army divisions Of southern troops
uaye been aDsorbed in tins way. The
remnants of three other southern
rational army divisions will be con-
solidated to form a single divisional
unit, and the surplus men from other
camps will be sent south to make up
the missing divisions.
Other Services Required.
Drafts on the national army force
also must be made to fill up the
enlisted personnel of the aviation serv-
ice, the medical corps and the serv-
ice battalions needed behind the fight
ing lines abroad Eventually there
will be $50, 900 men in the last named
service alone and aviation and the
| medical service will take nearly as
+; many more though not all of them
will be taken from the national army
Operating to delay the calling out OF
the second increment to make good
these shortages are several factors
Clothing and equipment is coming
forward only at rate that can meet
the demands of the forces already
called and the railways of the coun-
try have been overburdened with the
job of moving the army and its ne
cessities without hindering freight
shipments vital to the allies.
Supplies Main Factor.
Fixing the date of the call for the
second increment probably hinges
also upon the careful study being
made by Provost Marshal General
Crowder and his assistants of the re-
suits of the plan followed in assem-
bling the men called first. Many
questions have arisen which 1t may
be desired to avoid hereafter ant
substitute regulations to guide both
local and district boards, prepared
in the light of what actual experience
taught may be issued to govern the
second call.
