PLANS ARE MADE FOR.
SUNDAYS CAMPAIGN
Washington Committee Will Go
to New York to Gather Ideas
for Revival.

Active preparations for the cam
paign Of Billy Sunday in Washington
next January will begin here within
few days, according to the Rev.
Clarence Vincent, chairman of the
committee arranging fort famous
evangelist's visit to the National
Capital.
DIR. Vincent said he and the other
members of the local committee were
closely watching the preliminary ar
rangements now being made In New
York for the opening of Sundays 5
campaign in the metropolis on April
and had already assimilated "a
wealth OF valuable suggestions"
To Attend Opening.
Plans have been made for prac-
tically the entire local committee to
attend the opening service in New
York, following which DR.. Vincent
and his associates will confer with
the various committees which ar
ranged the campaign.
1t is expected that George Sunday.
son of the evangelist. will make sew
eral trips to Washington to advise the
local committee during the New York
campaign.
DR.. Vincent said today that negotia-
tions had not yet been completed for
the old Baltimore and Ohio railroad
station site, but this location was
still considered ideal. as to size, geo
graphical position. and street car
facilities. II negotiations for this
site should fail. he said. the local COM
mittee has several others almost as
desirable.
suEEestIons Valuable.
Although the local committeeman
realize that the Billy Sunday cam
paign will. be on a far greater scale
than any revival ever held in the
National Capital. they said today
they had gotten many valuable and
helpful suggestions from the recent
religious campaign conducted here by
Gypsy Smith. jr.
The choir of 400 mixed voices used
at the Gypsy Smith revival will be
preserved as a nucleus around which
to build the chorus of 1000 voices for
Billy Sundays campaign. The or
ganization will remain intact and
from time to time the personnel will
be increased. The Rodeheaver hymn
book has been distributed to all the
members OF the Gypsy Smith, jr.,
chorus and the men and women are
expected to be familiar with practical
ly all its contents long before the
campaign begins here January s, 1918.

COMPANY B TO NEVADA
Local Company Goes to the State
Camp Friday. Immense Crowd
to See Them Off.

Late Thursday afternoon Captain
Caruthers received the long looked
for orders to report with his COM
pany at the state training camp at
Nevada and early Friday morning
every man was getting his kit
packed for the trip. A. little after
eleven o'clock the company was
marched to the Winan restaurant,
where they had been taking their
meals, for an early dinner, but the
boys were little too impatient to be
very hungry and they were soon
marched back to the armory, and
just after twelve o'clock, led by the
Butler band, they marched around
the square and out Ohio street to the
Missouri Pacific station. While their
appearance would have been i'm
proved by proper equipment, they
were very soldierly looking body
of men and many an old soldier
thrilled as they marched past and
wished that he might be with them.
An immense crowd had preceded
them to the depot where they took
cars that had been set out for them.
Soon the good-byes were said, and
some of them were sad ones as when
mother, fighting to keep back the
tears, would part from son, or
sweetheart would force smile while
she waved to her soldier boy as the
train pulled out. But there were
cheers as we'll as tears and the boys
were glad to get away to camp where
the training that will fit them for
service in the trenches will commence
in earnest.
This is the third time that Com
pany 3 has ben called into the ser
vice of the country, the first time IN
1893, when they were called to help
free oppressed Cuba. They did not
see active service, but the summer
spent in the fever camps of the south
left its mark on many OF them, and
where Conoly Smith and Will Conck-
lin died and were laid to rest in the
beautiful national cemetery near
| Chattanooga, Tennessee.
| The second time was last year
when the trouble with Mexico
seemed to be unavoidable. They
were taken TO the Mexican border,
where they made good reputation
as soldiers and all returned home at
ter few months of service.

home on the train that night. a.

GERMAN TROOPS IN BIG
RETREAT ON SOMME FRONT
British Advance to Depth Of Three
Miles in France-Four
Towns Captured.

British Headquarters in France
Feb. 27.-on one portion of the British
front. at least, the war on Sunday be-
came war of movement.
Under cover of a heavy fog and mist,
the Germans carried out the greatest
retirement they have made on the
western front in the last two years
The British have swept into posses
sion Of Pys, Serre. Mlraumont and Pet
it Miraumont. including the famous
Butte de Warleneourt, which has been
the scene II some of the fiercest fight
ing Of the war, and in places is deep
with the bones of dead men.
The German retirement is estimated
at a denth Of three miles at some
points
The points which already have
fallen into the British hands have
stood out in the history Of fighting
on this front and were most stubbornly
defended, Only a week ago. when the
British attacked on q two-mile front
east ana south of Miraumont and Pys,
the German resistance was bitter and
the high ground desired was won only
after desperate hand-to-hand encoun-
tiers aud the taking of more than 500
Germans prisoner.

Premier yd-George In the house of

aided speech on the necessity to re-
strict imports.
The submarine must be hunted
There is no surer way to victory He
pointed out the need of tonnage to
supply the needs of the civil and mill
tary nation. and declared that the stu
alton calls for the gravest measures.
The premier declared that the gov
eminent hopes to deai effectively with
the submarine menace despite the diff
cultieS in the way Of hunting down I'M
derwater boats. and said that enor-
nous sacrifices are necessary from the
British public, as the government pro-
poses TO dispense with all nonessen-
tial importation5 to save tonnage.
This was the first time that it has
been officially admitted = at the Ger
man submarine war is Gripping the
British government.
1.-THE gravest kind of measures are
necessary in this situation" declared
the premier. The government is hope
full of dealing effectively with this mat
fer. but we should be guilty of the
worst kind of folly if we rested tran
quilly upon the realization of that
hope. We have to face action and we
have to deal ruthlessly and promptly
with the tonnage question"
The premier said that more than
100000 tons of British shipping has
been assigned to France.
The stocks Of food in Great Britain
are lower than they ever have been be-
fore Mr.. Lloyd-George said. 1t is es-
sential for the life of the nation, he

DECLARES UNITED
STATES UNJUST
German Chancellor ASsalls Amer
lea in ReiChstag Address.
OBJECTS TO GERARD RECALL
Won Bethmann-HoIlweg Terms Method
BY Which Washington Terminated
Intercourse as "Brusque" and
Unprecedented"

Berlin. March 1.-German Chancel-
Tor Won Bethmann-Hollweg told the
German reichstag that President Viii
sons action in breaking off relations
with Germany was unprecedented
He characterized the method by which
America terminated friendly inter
course as ''brusque." He drew a paral-
led between President Wilson's course
IN the Mexican imbrogio of 1913 and
the German situation after the start
of the war.
The chancellor called attention TO
President Wilson's notification to con
gress in 1913 that he would follow in
ternational usage" and put an embargo
on shipment of arms to both factions
in Mexico. But year later, the chan
cellor said. these usages apparently
were no more considered good"
Hollweg dilated on the vast quanti
ties of war material shipped from
America TO Germany's enemies.
The chancellor referred to Americas
insistence upon the right of American
citizens freely TO travel to France and
England, but he declared the same
right of American citizens toward the
central powers did not seem 10 be as
worthy of protection and as valuable
The chancellor found fault with the
abruptness of Gerard's recall. and COM
planned that he did not know officially
why America had broken off relations.
Gentlemen" continued the chancel-
Tor, "let us consider the whole ques-
tion. Breaking off of relations with the
United States and the attempted mo-
bilization of all neutraIs against US
does not serve for the protection of the
freedom of the seas proclaimed by the
United States.
They won't promote the peace de-
sired by President Wilson. They rather
must have consequently encouraged the
attempt to starve Germany and multi
ply bloodshed.
I'VE regret the rupture with u nation
who by her history seemed to be pre-
destined TO work with-not against
US.
But since our honest wish for peace
has only encountered jeering of war on
the part of our enemies. there is no
more backward step there is only
ahead possible for US"
Germanys peace conditions are
based on PREPARATION for all wrongs
suffered and guarantees for the exist
ence and future of strong Germany"
The chancellor so outlined them in
his speech.
Discussing the establishment of the
barred zone around England, France
and Italy and the answers received
from the central powers, the chancellor
said:
ave by no means undervalue the diff
ficultles caused to neutral shipping,
and we therefore try to alleviate them
as much as possible.
For this purpose we made an at
tempt to supply neutral states within
the boundaries of our sea. forces with
materials needed by them, like coal
and iron.
"But we also knew that all these diff
ficulties after all are only caused by
England's tyranny Of the seas.
1--WE will, and shall. break this en-
slavement of all non English trade"
