tween Red Cross and Y. nj. c. a.
New York, April 9.-Forty-four
thousand persons heard Billy Sunday
launch his campaign against the
hosts of sin in New York yesterday.
Half that number heard him in the
afternoon service. They heard him in
( his plea for the work he was inaugu-
rating. They heard him reply IN
smashing def to his traducers and
slanderers. They became fire-swept
sea of joy when he told them he in
tended taking none of their money;
that what ever it pleased New York
to give him for his own he would
divide equally between the Y. NJ. c. A.
working among the soldiers and the
American Red Cross. The afternoon
saw him lay his hopes, his prayer,
his heart, his soul bare before the
multitude.
The night found him appealing to
the patriotism of the country; to the
hearts of those who heard him.
At the end of a sermon that so far
overshadowed any effort this hard
riding soldier of the cross has ever
delivered that his exhortations of the
past were forgotten, he was standing
on his oak pulpit, his legs outspread,
his face sweat bathed, his collar gone

ner in his hands waving over the
heads OF the wild throng beneath him.
In passion of patriotism that
throng was singing "America" and
the Battle Hymn of the Republic" "
Sunday, hoarse, was leaning over the
| edge of the pulpit so perilously near
fall that a half dozen men began to
leap the steps to save him.
Come, you! come, you!" he was
! roaring. "See your flag-the banner
that was never furled, that never

Could Have Had Thousands in Call

The two enormous meetings were
revelations. The collection totaled
81 ,9O2 for the two meetings. The en-
thusiasm, the overwhelming passion
of the day cannot be estimated. Had
that sinewy warrior in the Army of
! Light called for volunteers for
Christ's army he could have had ten
regiments. Had he called for volun-
teers to the army of his country, he
could have had thousands--mcn and
women.

Nj Eugene Pharr stated that in
this Parish there is q important
bridge on a Trans-C Continental Rail-
way across the Atchafalaya River,
which he thought was inadequately
guarded. There only being one
watchman on either end of the
bridge on duty for period of
twelve hours. Considering the i'm
portance Of this bridge the Council
agreed with Mr.. Eugene Pharr, that
more guards should be placed on the
bridge, the bridge lighted, and
board walk placed on same to permit
the patroling of the bridge. Tie
Council instructed the Secretary to
write to Mr.. w. B. Scott Of the Sun
set Central Line at Houston, Texas,
calling his attention to this import
ant bridge, and also to the State
Council of Defense, Baton Rouge,
and to the War Department of the
United States Government.
The matter of suspicious charac-
ters in the> Parish was brought to
the attention of the Council by Mr..
C. D. Kemper and it was the opinion
of the Council that such cases
should be investigated by them in
their capacity as members of the
Council and if the case warranted to
have suspicious characters held, and
proper authorities notified.
Mr.. Thomas Johnson asked that
the Secretary ask all Hardware
Dealers in ammunition to keep a
check upon same and not sell to ir
responsible parties.
In order that the matters discuss
ed in the Parish Council could be
taken up in the Ward meetings as
soon as possible, it was decided to
ask all Ward Committees to meet
on the Friday following the meeting
of the Parish Council of Defense
which has established Wednesday as
its Meeting Day.
There being no further business
to come before the Council the meet
ing adjourned, until the next regu-
lar meeting in January, subject,
however, to a call by the president.
