Bishop Luther II. Wilson, of New York,
secretary Of the House Of Bishops, who
returned two days ago from three months
tour of the battlefronts in France and the
Italian-Austrian theatre Of war, declined
today to take seriously reports prevalent in
New York that this winter or next spring
will see the end Of the war,
"I should hesitate to express such an
opinion" he said. "If the Allies were in
a position to meet the U-boat problem I
think the days OF the conflict would be
limited, but not otherwise
"Our allies across the sea regard Ameri-
can troops highly. There is not, however,
a disposition TO believe Americas entry into
the conflict necessarily is going to turn
the scale. President Wilson is regarded as
a world figure; his utterances as those Of
statesman of exceptional power
millions of the poor are suffering In
England and France, but it is due more to
high prices than TO an actual scarcity Of
food. Nowhere that I went during my
three months abroad did come in contact
anywhere with an actual scarcity of the
necessities of life"

the Kaiser's forefather. Frederick the
Great, stands guard in bronze today over

College
One newly made captain, first amazed,
then amused at Frederick, remarked, why,
there's the slob that started all this Prus-
sianlsm we are fighting. Where the -
did he come FROM"
The fact is, Theodore Roosevelt, arch
apostle of anti-Prusslanism today, put him
there thirteen years ago at Kaiser Bits
personal request And among the kind
the Kaiser and his grandfather, after wining
and dining Wilhelmns personal ENJOYS at
the White House, November 10, 1904, were
these:

house and his great nation who has made
It evident that they desire peace and

Theodore Roosevelt then proceeded to
eulogize Frederick, comparing him favor
ably with Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal and
Napoleon. He mentioned kindly the
ancient and illustrious house Of Hohen'
zollern"

A nice wreath of iron roses encircles his
feet. An American eagle of solid stone
peers curiously down at him from atop the
college The historic Potomac rolls past his
elbow American soldiers drill beneath his
eye And there he stands
But he did not get there without protest.
The Polish Catholics, Of Chicago, protested
to Roosevelt at the time he was put up,
branding Frederick despot and declaring
that his statue should find no place on soil
made sacred by the blood of martyrs of lib
erty." And he may not stay there If the
unfriendy glares Of American army officers
can drive him of.

SEE COLLAPSE OF
U-BOAT CAMPAIGN
Chances Of Torpedo Sink
ings Are Lessening, Thinks
u. S. Shipping Board
RISKING ON A SAFE BET
WASHINGTON, oct. 2S.

WASHINGTON, oct 23.
Taking chances with the submarine has
become n safe bet officials Of the United
states Shipping Board today presented new
figures to show that the effectiveness Of the
U-boat is passing Statistics compiled for
the Shipping Board show that the average
for the last six months has been but one
boat in every 200 making voyages in the
submarine zone. The proportion Of sinkngs
has been but one in 1876.
Men high in the shipping industry have
told the Shipping Board that the peril of
the U-boat is now almost negative COM
pared with the danger of the early days
Of the war; These opinions have been
backed up by general lowering of nsur-
ance rates; both life and mercantile have
been materially reduced in the last two
months.
Naval officials declare that the reduction
in sinking is not due to any let-up in the
undersea campaign Of Germany but
rather It Is the result of experience in
coping with the submarine. They declare
that the establishment Of conveys for merS
chant vessels has been the most effective
weapon yet found. Camou1age. low visibil-
ity and speed have all added to the safety
Of sea travel through the war zone sta
tistics of the Shipping Board show that
approximately so per cent of the vessels

voy or protective devices.
MUST HAVE EVEN CHANCE
To add to the safety of sea traffic. as far
as America is concerned, the shipping board
has adopted a most rigid policy for the
granting Of charters. The element Of
chance is reduced to a minimum by the
chartering board. No vessels are allowed
papers to pass through the war zone un-
less the board is convinced that they have
with a C-boat
Despite the fact that there is a certain
measure of satisfaction because of the
apparent failure of the U-boat the shipping
board is bending every effort to complete
its program. There are today twelve times
as many vessels under construction in the
United States as there were one year ago.
Every day plans are being considered for
the increase of American tonnage. Produc-
tion does not yet equal destruction and the
shipping board will never be quite willing
to let up on its work until this has been
accomplished.
Plans for the American merchant marine
are now in construction for bringing even
greater tonnage under the American flag.
Chairman Edward n. Hurley has some
ideas which officials declare will result
eventually in a production of tonnage which
will make the U-boat almost negligible in
warfare. Until these plans can be aC-
complshed, however, the shipping board is
driving ahead under original methods and
taking no account of the rapidly decreas-
ing effectiveness, Of the undersea campaign
of Germany.

BILLY SUNDAY METHODS
ATTACKED BY BAPTTSTS
Speakers Before Jersey Associa-
ton Declare Trenton Revival
Was Unproductive
ATLANTIC CITY. Oct. %.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 20.
Billy Sundays methods were sharply
criticized in connection with the report OF
the committee on evangelism before the
New Jersey Baptist Association in the Chel-
sea Church today. The Rev. DR. T. A.
Nose, of Newark, reported that sixty-two
churches had united in the evlngelistic
movement in Jersey during the year and
that great results had been accomplished
among Hungarians, Italians and other
aliens in the mixed population of large
manufacturing centers,
Nevertheless the record shows a falling
off of 80 per cent in baptisms," declared
the Rev. j. e. r. Folsom. who has been
made superintendent of evangelism. THE
total is 1876 less than the average for the
last ten years I shrink from making such
statements but II is with the thought that
we must change these conditions"
THE previous speaker has not told YOU
that our total for baptisms for the last
twelve months was 2192 more than the
year before and that the previous year was
abnormal in results" exclaimed the Rev.
NJ. Joseph Twomey, of Newark
80 far as I know the Billy SUNDAY
campaign with 10000 signed cards did not
do us an iota of good" added the Rev. f,
s, Squier, of Jersey City. Il believe I'm
tabernacle meetings, but the personal note
in evangelism is most important"
II got eighty-five members as result OF
the Billy Sunday campaign in Trenton.
exclaimed the Rev. DR.. Newton, of that
city. And I'll give them to any pastor
who wants them"
II don't agree with you," another pastor
sang out. Virtually all of those who
volunteered in our 'win-One' campaien
csme from the gutter, while the conserva-
tives stood paling."
There was high praise for the work the
Baptlsts are doing In the army camps. A
budget of $4,000 for homo missionary
operations was approved.

which would be of genuine value to
the recipient and at the same time
help to win this great war for free
dom against despotism; namely, a
bond of the United States Gov
ernment.
Every American who contemplates
making a Christmas gift of jewelry
or other expensive thing should i'm
mediately decide to give a Liberty
Bond instead.
Wives, sweethearts, children would
rather have a Liberty Bond than any
thing else that could be offered to
them.
Every Liberty Bond an American
citizen buys will arm and equip our
gallant soldiers and sailors; will help
to make them invincible in the fight.
The more invincible we make them
the more quickly the war will be
ended.
BY the destruction Of the Kaiser's
brutalized rule of the bayonet the
more quickly peace on earth, good will
toward men will be restored.
Christmas Day, 1917, should be a
time of rededication and reconsecra-
ton to the cause of freedom and
humanity throughout the world to the
ideals for which Christ suffered cruci-
fixion on the cross. We must be pre-
pared to make infinite sacrifices to
secure this glorious result.
The least we can do is to give up
something of our pleasure, something
of our comfort, something of our con-
venience, something of our needs and
to employ all the saving we may
thereby effect to strengthen the hands
