JOHN TYLER HEARD
 IN ADDRESS TO MEN
Gideons and Other Travelling Men
 Seated on the Stage

A large crowd of men heard John Tyler, the noted convert of the Jerry McAuley Mission of New York at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon. Men were moved to tears as he told of the goodness of God, and the work of grace in His own life.
 His address on the subject, Howard Sodom, was replete with anecdotes out of his own experience of 70 years of life and those of his acquaintances. Six months work in the great Bellevue hospital after his conversion brought him to the bedside of hundreds of dy- ing men, many of whom poor and friendless, whom Tyler was enabled to help on to God
 After a lifetime of riotous living, first with all that money could buy and later as a tramp and world wan derer, at 60 years of age he was con- verted From sleeping in a 10-cent bed in a Bowery dive, he roes to re- wood at Northfield and then to the superintendency of an office building in New York. He gave it up to heed the call that kept stirring his heart to go out and tell men everywhere of the wonderful things God had done for him.
 Representative Gideons and other travelling men filled the platform, and at the request of Mir. Stallings, the Y. M. c. A. secretary, MT Hilliard the field secretary of the Gideon movement. told something of it's work in placing Bibles in the hotels of Bir- mingham and vicinity.

 DOES NOT BELIEVE DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS
 WHOLLY HOPELESS
Continued from Pnge one,

lie and the government alike take the stand that President Wilson has denied the central powers the right of self-de- rense in depriving them of the only eff fective weapon at their disposal. Per sons with whom the correspondent has talked have laid great hopes on the American Congress. The belief has been expressed by them that open debate in Congress would lead to an understanding to & position of the central powers. Gov ernment circles, the press, and the public put forth the hope that such will be the case.
 Much faith is placed in official ard oth- CT quarters on the presumption that the United States would be unable to put a large army in the field ~in a short time and that the war in Europe will be over before the military strength of the United States could be developed. Much com- fort is found by the people generally in the reports concerning the activity of the submarines, the results of which every body hopes will be such that the entente will be compelled to entertain peace ne- gotiations before the United States would be in a position to land large forces in France.
