$4,000 Respond
To Sundays Appeal
For Christian Life
Evangelist's Words Draw
Throng in Tabernacle
from Seats

Scarcely seat in the Tabernacle
was occupied last night moment al
ter Billy Sunday, coatless and husky
of voice. had asked every one TO stand
who wished to lead Christian life.
The movement was led by delega-
ton Of 1000 Pennsylvania Railroad
men, seated in the middle section OF
the pineboard church; nearbv another
group of 1000 from the Madison Ave
nue. League also rose, and finally the
entire audience was standing.
Lord. this is great" said Sunday
II can't see any one seated. That
shows, Lord. that we all want to dc
right"
Trail Hitters for Day Total 2,2l6
Billy leaped down into his reception
box and waited for trail hitters. OF
the $4,000 who stood 1910 came for
ward to take his hand. The total for
the day was 2,216.
This demonstration came at the
close of a characteristic sermon, re-
plete with anecdotes illustrating the
fate that befell certain unbelievers,
the fortune that came to the saved.
There were tales of young men
found dead in the gutter near stale
beer joints" vivid stories of the last
moments of infidels. who, as Sunday
phrased it. had lived without Christ,
but couldn't die without Him; stories
OF men W hose terrible experiences
turned their hair white in a single
night, and the inevitable reference to
that dirty bunch, the liquor gang"
The Tabernacle was full and at least
1000 crowded in the doorways and
peered through the open windows. The
air was hot and heavy, and as soon as
Sunday came upon the platform he
issued a general invitation to the men
to remove their coats and be comfort
able. He took his own advice before
he had talked five minutes.
"Whew." he gasped. TOO hot" OF
came his blue coat, while he continued
to express his unfattering opinion of
men and women who deferred salvation
until the last hours of their lives.
Scores Deathbed Repentance
az don't 60 much on deathbed re-
pentance," he shouted. 81 think it's a
pretty mean, low thing to indulge your
desires all your life and then on the
deathbed whine like sick cat and ask
the preacher to come and save you
You can squeeze the old world dry like
lemon and then plead for Gods mercy
TO take the bitter taste out of your
mouth if you want to. But want to
give myself 70 God at the apex of my
physical and mental vigor."
The Rev. Charles G. Goodell, pastor
Of St. Paul's Methodist Church, who
took the platform for a few minutes,
described Sunday as the strongest in
dividual force for prohibition in the
country, the most patriotic man. with
1.-The sage of Oyster Bay second" and
the best man, mo one second" "And
the most hated man." Sunday added
later. How that dirty. sinking liquor
gang hates me! But it's a compli-
ment."

Washington, June 12.-Treasury off,
Gals declared tonight that because OF
the failure of many banks TO report,
thew had been unable even TO estimate
the progress of the Liberty Loan since
last Friday night, when only $780,
600 900 Of the $1,000 100000 apparently
had been taken.
Another urgent call went out from
the Treasury tonight, asking banks to
report subscriptions SO officials may no
longer be kept in the dark. The call
was disseminated through the twelve
Federal Reserve banks, headquarters OF
the loan in their various districts.
Reports by telegraph and telephone
to-day from many cities told OF graft
fving progress, but in most cases
contained no figures. The small sub
scriber, on the face Of to-day's general
reports, has awakened to the fact that
the country needs his money, and OH
Gals expect the final count to show
tremendous number of individual sub
scriptions to the $50 and 500 bonds.
1000, 900 Subscribers
There will have to be tremendous
number of such subscriptions II the
loan is to show the sl00,000,000 a day
needed for the closing seven days. One
official predicted tonight that the
total number of subscribers would ap-
proximate 100000 He based his pre-
diction upon reports from all Reserve
banks and many other financial insti-
tutions.
As the situation stands tonight, off,
Gals frankly do not know whether the
s1OO,0OO,O00 day has been obtained.
Thousands Of banks have failed to no.
tify the Reserve banks of progress
made. and the tabulation showing only
81 300, 900 stands as the latest Off
cial figures Another tabulation may be
made tomorrow.
To insure success, the closing days
of the campaign will be devoted to re-
doubled efforts to bring out the dollars
of the small investor.
To Ring Liberty Bell
As part of this campaign, the old
Liberty Bell at Philadelphia, which
proclaimed to the world l4i years ago
the birth Of the American Republic
will ring once more in the cause of
liberty. Next Thursday at noon, be-
ginning the last twenty-four hours OF
the subscription period, the clapper of

Distribution Policy
Of the Liberty Loan
Severely Criticised
Secretary McAdoo Comes In
for Attack at World Sales
manship Congress
lBy Telegraph to The Tribunel

Detroit, June 12.-Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo's Liberty Loan dis
trihution policy was severely assaulted
at Tuesday nights session of the
worlds craftsmanship congress in Area
da Hall by Richard H. Waldo, secre-
tary of The New York Tribune. His
criticism was evoked by the action of
the congress in adopting a resolution
pledging the membership of all its al
lied clubs to devote one day exclusively
to the sale of the next issue Of war
bonds authorized by the government.
Mr.. Waldo's remarks, concurred in by
Ban X. Nardaman, of Des Moines,
brought singing retort from Walter
B. Brinkman, a Duluth delegate, Who
asserted that it would be "more fitting
for those from the East, a section that
has failed to fulfil its obligations, if,
instead of critcising the Administra-
ton, they would display a little action
and follow the example of the Middle
West, which has oversubscribed its
quota Of the Liberty Loan"
Brinkman's reply 10 Waldo was
cheered by the gathering.
The resolution you have Just adopted
20 help float the next bond issue is a
burden you will have TO carry and one
you will have TO make good on" began
Waldo. "The Liberty bond distribu-
tion policy Of Secretary McAdoo has
failed, and the banks will have 10 come
TO the rescue with 100000, 900 to
make up the $4,000, 900, 900 issue that
would have been heavily over-sub-
scribed had il been handled in the
proper way. Mr.. McAdoo at the outset
was approached by the bankers and
asked how he intended to float the
loan.
why he said, we will open the
window and le. the bonds blow out
Well. he opened the window, but only
$3.50. 900 900 in bonds blew out in the
forced draft Mr.. McAdoo caused. At
the start the Treasury Department
flooded the newspapers with glowing
accounts Of the way the bonds were be-
ing grabbed up. with the result that
many who would have been heavy in
vestors held back. The government has
had TO come TO the banks after all.
There will be other issues and they've
got 20 be sold like arrow collars
they've got 10 be made the intimate
friends OF the people. Washington as
a bond factory is turning out perfect
goods, but the selling organization is
rotten"

House Authorizes
President to Buy
jamestown Base
Answers His Urgent Plea
by Throwing Upon Him
Entire Responsibility
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 1.-THE Admin
istration's fight for the establishment
of a great naval base In the lower
Chesapeake Bay was won at last this
afternoon when the House accepted
without a roll call an entirely new
amendment to the s3.5OO.000.000 war
budget bill providing for the acquisi-
ton of the jamestown Exposition and
Pine Beach properties for a consider
alton of not more than S1,200,00o.
The secret of this complete reversal
of action by the House of Representa-
tives, which had rejected the proposal
by a vote of 1874 TO ia a few days ago,
was the fact that President Wilson
himself took the almost unprece-
denied step Of writing letter TO the
Naval Affairs Committee. which, for
the last eight or ten years has been
opposed to unloading the jamestown
site on the government.
The Naval Affairs Committee had a
special meeting this morning, and to
the amaZement of a majority OF ITS
members Representative Padgett, the
chairman of the committee, produced a
letter from Mr.. Wilson, in which the
President stated that it was most es-
sential that a naval base should be
established at once at Hampton Roads
and that unless the jamestown site
was purchased without delay most
serious embarrassment would ensue.'
In view of this letter the Naval AZ
fairs Committee abandoned its oppo-
siton, framed an amendment TO the
original proposition appropriating ST.
100000 and authorizing its purchase by
the Secretary of the Navy. The new
amendment throws the entire response
bility for the acquisition of the site
upon President Wilson. 1t authorizes
him TO take over the site at once and to
fix a reasonable price, not to exceed
81 100000. If the owners of the land
regard the price as unfair they will be
paid three-fourths of the price at once
and are given the right TO sue the gov
eminent for fair price. Meantime
the government will proceed 10 expend
81 100000 on the property to establish
a great naval base.
Representative Lenroot, of Wiscon-
sin, who was one of the foremost oppo-
nents of the project last week when II
was rejected, stated frankly to-day that
his views have not changed, but that
the responsibility was now on the Pres
ident
"If scandal develops in the future
out of the acquisition of this land he
said, "the responsibility will not be on
the House, but upon the President of
the United States"
No doubt is felt that Senator Martin
will promptly accept the concession OF
100000 in the price of the land and
that the entire $4,000, 100000 budget
bill will pass the Senate without fur
Their delay.
The jamestown site incident has ere
ated a most painful impression in Con-
presS.

Chicago, June 12.-Fifteen million

NerO England Subscribes
Half of $500, 900, 900

Boston, June 12-New England has
contributed from the savings Of its
working people and the funds of its
business organizations a little more
than one-half of the s3OO,OOOOOO which
it was estimated this section should
subscribe 70 the Liberty Loan, accord
ing to the figures given out tonight.
Up to ! p. nj. to-day the total sub
scriptions actually received by the Fed
eral Reserve Bank were Sl53,100, 900,

The extent to which the laboring men
Of New England are represented in the
subscriptions received 70 date was
characterized as remarkable by Gov
ernor Aiken, of the Reserve Bank, but
the subscriptions of corporations and
men of large means, he said, had been
disappointing.

said. "Our institutions and our right
to govern ourselves are at stake. He

slavery TO sacrifice must not stand in
the way of others. The Congress of
our nation has spoken and selected the
men who are TO carry the spirit of de-
mocracy to the front. The impulse for
the common good has filled the regis
tration lists to the limit and stirred
the patriotism of those who have been
honored by the selection.
"Others, too, must make sacrifices.
These men must be equipped and sus-
tanned. Funds must be forthcoming to
furnish the food, the firearms and
other supplies for the fighting forces
of the nation. The need is immediate.
We cannot wait for the slower process
of tax gathering. That can come later.
THE finances to start with must
come from the sale Of bonds. Two
billion dollars worth have been offered
by the Treasury Department as Lib

pie subscribe the more thoroughly our
enemies will realize our firm determi-
