HERMAN HAUPT

This is the centenary of the birth
early railway builder, and chief Of
the burea of Military Railways dur
ing the civil war. Haupt was educat-
ed at the United States Military .\cad- :
envy at West Point, graduating in
1888, but he soon abandoned a mill
tary career to become civil engineer.
After serving for some years as ssist-
ant engineer to the Pennsylvania
Board Of Public Works and as profess
sor Of mathematics at Pennsylvania
College, he became interested in rail-
way construction, and was chief engi-
neer Of various railway companies be-
tween 1850 and 1851. Among his pro-
jects was the boring of the Hoosac
tunnel for the line between Boston
and Albany, but this gigantic work
had TO be abandoned when civil war
broke out, ana It was not completed
until 1878. AS the chief of the mill
tary railways of the United States
Haupt played an important and very
useful role in the war, and retired
with the rank of general. In later
years he held a number of Important
posts, including those of general
manager of the Piedmont Air Line
and Of the Northern Pacific railway,
and engineer Of, the Tidewater Fipe
Line company. He wrote several vol
umes dealing with the engineering
problems of bridge building, river inn
provements, and street railways. Two
of Gen. Haupt's sons attained distinc-
ton, DR.. Alexander James Derbyshire
Haupt as a clergyman, and Lewis M
Haupt as civil engineer. Gen Haupt
died in 1905.

WAR and UNITY

In view Of the probability that the
United States will to some extent en-,
ter the war, it behooves the American
people to reflect very carefully how
they can take their share of it most
effectively. The mistakes of the past
are irrevocable, but the mistakes of
the future could be avoided.
One reason why both Germany and
France have made such a splendid
military showing, is that both peoples
have been united. In England it has
been different. The controversy oyer
Ireland has broken the spirit Of
unity. For other causes and for a
long time, large classes of the popula-
ton were Indifferent. Not until the
.Zeppelins were sent over as mission
aries for recruiting, and until the sub
marines introduced the gaunt specter
of hunger, was there unity. When
that spirit came, things began to
move.
1t is hard to get unity in a demo-
cratic country. We draw our blood
from every race strain. Some of our
ancestors are democratic by nature.
others monarchic and imperial. The
people whose sympathies are not
wholly with us should remember that
they are here on sufferance Forru-
nately these are comparativelv few
and will be fewer
Discussion of military PROCEEDINGS
can not be stopped. The people have
always claimed the right to criticise.
in war as we'll as in peace. 1t is a
thing that can easily be overdone. Yet
mistakes have to be pointed out If
they are to be remedied. But if is
no time for irresponsible politicians
and newspapers to fling out their at
tacks until they are sure Of the facts.
Above all it is to be remembered
that our foes are listening to every
note Of discord. All these things will
be duly reported to our enemies and
will give aid and comfort to Then,
It is time for loyal following Of orr
constituted leaders, for restraint ana
sober action, and for the disappear
ance of party spirit.

BARON RH0NDDA

Lord Rhondda, who was David AL
fred Thomas, with the unofficial title
of British Coal King" before his elc-
walton to the peerage, was born sixty
one years ago today, March 26, 1856.
Although the head of the great Cam
brian coal combination, and with vast
business interests extending over
large part of the world, he has devot-
ed nearly all Of his time since the
outbreak of the war to the service or
his country. In 1915 he was ap-
pointed by David Lloyd George, then
Minister of Munitions, to come to
America to supervise the making OF
munitions contracts, and he repre-
scented the munitions department so
successfully in the United States and
Canada that upon his return to ling
land he was created a baron. When
Lloyd George formed his new govern
ment last December he appointed
Lord Rhondda to the post of Presi-
dent of the local Government Board.
Lord Rhondda, then Mr.. Thomas,
was on board the Lusitania when it
was sunk by a German submarine. In
gratitude for his rescue he determin-
ed to devote himself to the service
of the government. His only daugh-
ter Lady Mackworth, was also a pas
senger on the Lusitania, and was
picked UP unconscious after she had
been in the water for three hours.
Lady Mackworth had previously been
prominent as suffragette, and on
one occasion was arrested on the
charge of having set fire to a pillar
box but was released after spending
four hours in a cell.
Lord Rhondda was born in Aber-
dare, and was educated at Cambridge,
soon after becoming interested in coal
mining. Within few years he ex-
tended his interests from a single
company to half a dozen. His great
achievement was the organization OF
the Cambrian Combine, including
nearly all of the great collieries OF
Wales This combine sold coal all
over the world.
He has long been prominent in
politics, entering Parliament in 1888
While he was a capitalist, and most
of his constituents were miners, he
was reelected year after year. Al
though the representative of the col.
liery owners in all disputes with the
miners, his democratic spirit and his
fairness have made him very pcpu-
lar with the men who dig the coal.

Rev. William w. Rose
Criticises Statements
Of Revival Leaders

Rev. William Wallace Rose in the
Church of the Redeemer last night
combatted the theories of the revival
lists and particularly the methods pur-
sued by Billy Sunday. He declared in
substance that the English translation
of the Scriptures from the Greek does
not mean that there is q Satanic hell
which shall last eternally but that il.
would rather mean Goods hell, age
lasting"
Mr. Rose called attention to the
fact that if the revivaIists are right in
assuming that the majority of the
people are following Satan's trail
then Satan must have overcome the
dictates of Cody life and it would be
right that the people follow Satan
rather than God, who according ia
the revivalists has been conquered By
Satan.

Paying Attention to
Material Things Is
Handicapping People

DR.. Milton S. Rees. continuing his
evangelism at the State street Casino
yesterday filed the edifce with an
enthusiastic htrong. To men only
yesterday afternoon he told why
Bridgeport had not more Christian
men. He attributed the scarcity to
unnecessary solicitude to things ma
terial, an ambition to accumulate
money, self-rig1lteousness, procrastina-
ton and fear of ridicule. He did not
fail to score the drink habit as per-
nicious evil.
Tonight in addition to the regular
sermon five 1.-TWO minutes sermons
will be delivered by as many laymen
from the audience.

East End Pastors
Thank Evangelist

Yesterday was the closing day of
the East End evangelistic campaign,
and it proved a great day to the
churches engaged in this work. The
evangelist, Rev. J. H. Armbrust,
preached in the afternoon on the sub
ject. weighed in the Balances in
which he brought the test Of the Ten
Commandments to the lives of his
hearers. His discussion of prevalent
sins Of society was searching.
Last evening the church was crowd
ed, many being turned away. The
sermon was based upon John 3:16."
A brief abstract follows: This text
is a picture of the love of God. 1 do
not use the word Hell and lost be-
cause God hates men. He loves them
whatever their condition may be. All
men have spoiled their natures by sin,
Love gives it's all and knows, no re-
servation. The infinite love of God
flows out to you. 1t suffers for YOU:
Jesus Christ has done all for you that
love can do. The love of God is seek
ing you now
Last evening words of appreciation
| were spoken by Rev. ]. r. Browne for
the Evangelical church.; Rev. r. c..
Steinhoff for the Berean Memorial;
| David Berg for the Swedish Bethel
Baptist and Rev. Daniel M. Lewis for
the Newf1eld Methodist. All spoke
| feelingly of the good accomplished
by the evangelists, as we'll as the
spirit of good fellowship existing be-
| tween the pastors and churches in
the movement. The East End has not
been stirred by a religious awakening
in many years as it has been the past
three weeks. and the work is going
forward in the various churches. Dur,
ing the meetings fully $50 conversions
or reconsecrations have resulted, and
| the churches greatly strengthened.
