bad traffic conditions which made IT

ing before closing time last night, the
District Commissioners have ordered

curing the licenses to February ).
Maj. Raymond W. Pullman, super

ing to obtain licenses.
The order reads:

extended from January 81 to Febru-
airy s. Any other order relating TO the

HERODIAS IN
SEA MURDERS
Billy Tells tabernacle Audi
ence Germany Is Doomed
by Her Sins.

Herodias wanted the head OF John
the Baptist with the same vengeful
spirit that the Germans wanted the
lives of the women and children
who were murdered when the Lusi-
tania went down. according to Billy
Sunday. He made the declaration
yesterday afternoon during his SER
mon at the Tabernacle on Her
odias."
Won Bernstorff knew all about
the plot to sink the Lusitania. in
sisted the evangelist. He declared
that this has been proved beyond
all doubt.
And when the news flashed here
that the great ship had been tor
pedoed and American women and
children were sent to the bottom
by that murderous crowd" said
Billy, Won Bernstorff wept croco-
dile tears and tried hard to look
sorry. Then he went to a banquet
in New York and toasted the cap
tain of the dastardly submarine
that sent down the Lusitania. ..
Ambassador OF Devil.
"AlI the while that ambassador of
the devil himself was distributing
money all over the country, hiring
spies to do the dirty German propa-
ganda work. No sooner had the
war started than the German sail
ors in the interned liners got busy,
breaking up as much of the ship
machinery as they could, and its
taken Uncle Sam all this time to
get the ships back in shape.
IF there's anything vile and rot
ten that the German bunch hasn't
stopped to try and put over, l
haven't heard about it."
Billy declared that the news of
general striking and disorder in
Berlin is a reflection of the feel
ing OF Germany's soldiers on the
Western front"
"She's doomed" shouted Billy.
God works in a mysterious way
and He's on the job now with the
allies to drive that sinking bunch
of bull-necks into hell"

Billy declared that the man who

the God whose gospel the preacher
breaches"
In the same way, he said,, the
crook hates the policeman; the wo-
man hates the photographer who
doesn't "get her" as she thinks she
ought to look; as the fat woman
hates the weighing scales and as
the thin woman hates the new

Former Counsel for Ernerg.

sibility Upon u. S.

Robert J. Bulkley, former counsel
Of the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
told the Senate Commerce Committee
yesterday that the government was
itself to blame for the "exorbitant
prices and extravaganza at the Hog
Island Shipyard, near Philadelphia. -
The witness, a former Congress-
man, said that the shipping suthori-
ties had been granted ample super
visory power TO prevent waste, but
had failed to exercise it.
Once again Senator johnson, Of CAL
hornia, demanded that Mai. Gen. Goe-
thals and Frank A. Vanderlip. who
appear as principals in the Hog Is
land Shipyard. be summoned to tell
how the agreement came to be en-
tered into.
johnson Curious.
BuIkiey said that he understood
Vanderlip had signed the contract as
chairman OF the American Interna-
tional Corporation. without having
personally read it over. Nevertheless,
johnson thought he ought TO be
called.
What the committee wants to
know" said Johnson. lis who makes
up these various corporations. What
are the interlocking concerns which
made profits and more profits at
every turn"
He quoted one estimate for driving
piles, $4,000. which finally cost the
government $4,000: and another mis-
cellaneous item. for which no estf-
mate was made. on which costs were
500. .OOo
The truth is" he said, to BuIkIey.

ernment no protection"
The shipping board had the right
OF supervision TO cut down costs" re-
piled the witness.
why wasn't il exercised?"
The burden OF other duties was too
heavy"
Blame then rests on the shipping
board?"
Il should not like to be the one to
say that"
This. apparently is clear; the gov
ernment will foot the hill?'
"Of that j am certain. Yes
Senator Vardaman attacked the
"know-how" form of contract. such
as Hog Island, where the government
furnished all material. all credit, pro-
vided labor. while the promoters sup
piled simply technical skill, or know
how
Il cannot imagine" he said. "how
a man who knew how at all could
estimate that driving 1900 piles would
cost $4,000 when the real cost was
S5lS,OO0."
Senator Harding brought out that
while the government retained power
of supervision in the work. il could
not protect itself against "extortion
and inordinate waste" once the work
was done legally.
Bulkley admitted that all 1t could
do in such cases was to foot the bills.

Prof. Frank Simpson, who is a men,

written the following interesting let
ter to Mrs. VanSickle, of Libertyville,
who has been kind enough to give it
to The Times for publication:

Dear Mrs. VanSickle:
Just been thinking about you, and
that thought originated from jack
rabbit. Now, you may not grasp the
idea so quickly, so / will endeavor to
explain more thoroughly. l happened
to see this rabbit just as | was read
ing a letter-one of the few which
receive from mother--in which you
had sent your remembrance to me,
just wished you had that rabbit;
you know, l sometimes brought you
game.
/ have been promoted two times
since | have been here and must say
] am now located in what l think is
the best branch in the medical depart
ment, "The Hospital Train" You
see, we will never work near the
front, and therefore will be out OF
the danger zone, unless the Dutch
happen to drive our Sammies back a
great distance. We carry patients
from the evacuation hospitals to the
base hospitals and sea ports.
Our train consists of fourteen cars,
twelve to be used for patients and
twc fer us. We will eat and sleep on
our train and, of course, will never be
compelled to use mud for pillows. ]
could go into detail in regard to this
train, but am sure you would not be
as much interested as / am. l like
army life alright and must say they
certainly do give us plenty to eat
with the exception of sweets. All we
get is good old "stick to the ribs"

Wilson's daughter, is going to lee.

get by without them. The X. of C.s
are doing good work here also.

which to lend financial aid to the gov
eminent in its great battle for right
and fair dealing.
Uncle Sam is not asking you to do
nate one cent, but he is pleading that
you lend him your money to help
make the world safe for democracy.
He offers you Liberty Bond with
high rate OF interest. A Liberty Bond
is the safest investment in the world.
When farmer buys Liberty Bond
he not only helps to finance the war,
but he becomes a lifesaver for Amer
lean boys fighting the most heartlsss.
cruel, relentless foe that civilization
ever has been called upon to face.
Last year the great cry was con-
servation. This year 1t is thrift. The
nation last year was urged to con-
serve the natural resources and the
products of the farms and fields and
factories. Greater crops we're plead
ed for, and canning clubs and city
gardens were urged.
This year the country is being
taught the lesson of spending its
money wisely. The government 10
showing the farmer as well as every
other citizen the Importance of put
ting every dollar where it will do the
most good.
The fact that the farmer is being
told this year to be thrifty does not
mean he Is not to plant every acre
available and TIL his crops carefully
and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper.
But it means he is to invest wisely
the money he gets for the splendid
crops he has demonstrated he is able
| to raise.
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand. The farmer, as rule, can find
something for which to spend almost
every dollar he receives. There al
ways is something to buy. Machinery
is needed, notes must be met, fer
tilizer purchased, harness, clothing,
oil and groceries paid for.
With the high prices he will receive
for his products he will have money
left after he has met his expenses.
The patriotic citizen will invest this
surplus in Liberty Bonds, the safest
investment in the world, and one that
will not only bring in fair return but
will help TO make America safe
place to live in years to come.
Every dollar loaned to the govern
ment serves to shorten the war and
bring peace to the world.

Every dollar invested in Liberty

Farmers especially should realize
that Uncle Sam is fighting not only tc
