GredtDemdndF For
Chance To Hear
President Speak
(Ry Associated Press.)

New York, Sept. 27.-President
Wilson's address at the Metropolitan
opera house here tonight, signalling
the opening of the national cam
paign for the fourth Liberty loan,
was awaited with intense interest
and thousands today clamored in
vain for tickets of admission. The
available 5000 seats have been re-
served for Liberty loan committee
men. The popular belief is that in
addition to making stirring appeal
for the sale of bonds the President
will reply to the recent speech Of
Count Won Hertling, the German i'm
periai chancellor.

shines continuously for eight weeks in

propriety, writer in an exchange says.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back its movements were direct
ed by an invisible power, but they had
no tangible conception of God. They
had no belief in a future life, either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious, truthful kind to their
children and to the aged. They are
ambitious to learn; they are practical,
extremely Industrious, sanitary in
their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu-
berculosis is common.

like food cooked, but 1t is matter Of
Indifference to them. They will bar

KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving in Y. M. C. A. "Hut"
in Training Camp Finds His
Duties Many and Varied.

If there Is notion that Y M. G. A.
work in the camps consists in selling
stamps and handing out pocket testa-
ments, let 1t be di5sipated at once.
One preacher, serving in a hut in a
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
He has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds of packages Of
laundry, umpires basketball games, or
ganized a glee club, stage-managed a
circus, sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven fiftver ten miles and
back three times a week to provide
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons in the English Ian
guage. He has been a repository for
hundreds of heart secrets, and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at a
time.
Perhaps oldest Of his many tasks
was one that came his way on wild
and stormy night in April, when the
master of arms at the military station
entered the 'Y" hut after taps, carry
ing red box under his arm.
Say" said the master of arms,
we've got a lot of T. N. T. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
orators, in this box. There's consid-
cradle lightning around, and it isn't
safe to leave these things close to the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night?"

U. S. Can Never Be Crushed.

These great objects can be put Into
single sentence. What we seek is
the reign of law, based upon the con-
sent of the governed and sustained by
the organized opinion Of mankind
''These great ends cannot be
achieved by debating and seeking to
reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their prof.
ects for balances of power and of ma
tional opportunity. They can be
reached only by the determination of
what the thinking people of the world
desire with their longing hope for
Justice and for social freedom and op-
portunity.
II can fancy that the air of this
place carries the accents of such prin-
ciples with prouder kindness. Here
where started forces which the great
nation against which they were pri-
marily directed at first regarded as g

has long since seen to have been a

pie as well as of the people Of the
United States-and l stand here now

fident hope-of the spread of this re-
