WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.--Secretary' Of
the Navy Daniels and Champ Clark,
Speaker Of the House, were on the plat
form at the opening service of the Billy
Sunday campaign here. They heard the
evangelist deliver one OF the most siren
uously patriotic addresses of his career.
and they heard him rap "old Kaiser rill
and his bunch of hot Digs"
Well" remarked the Secretary of the
Navy. folowin gthe opening sermon,
what fine recruiting officer Mr. Sum
day would make. If he could go out
into the country and plead for army and
navy recruits he'd be regular pied
piper"
II was the first time Secretary Daniels
had heard the evangelist and he declared
Billy was "just fine" Champ Clark de-
clared Billy TO be wonderful" The
evangelist had long chat with the
Speaker Of the House and later he con-
ferred bit with the Secretary Of the
Navy.
At the afternoon meeting Mrs
Marshall Field. widow of the Chicago
merchant. sat on the platform and APP
plauded Billys repeated declaration that
that bunch across the water needn't
think they can cram their dirty kultur
down the throats of Americans not on
your life"
We've got whale of a job on our
hands" added Billy. but YOU can bet
your last dollar that We will soon beat
down the dastardly lIohenzollern doc
trnes that have wriggled themselves out
of the pit Of perdition.
10000 ATTEND
Nearly 10000 persons attended the
three services at the tabernacle. There
wasn't an empty seat at the opening

afternoon service due possibly to light
rain. but at the evening service hun
drcds were turned away
BILLY" announced his pleasure at
coming to the worlds first city," and
declared this to be the most opportune
time for a great revival such as Is
planned for Washington for the next
Of everybody" in the> war America is
making "in the interest of humanity"
We don't want foot of Germany's
dirty soil" Billy shouted. as he looked
squarely into the face of Secretary
Daniels. But you can bet they can't
cram their dirty kultur down the throats
Of Americans. They can't spit on our
flag and get away with It, Not on your
tintype. The world would have been at
peace except for that bunch Of sauer-
kraut. weinerwursts and hot dogs. And
We'll make 'em eat the vitals of their
Infamous Prussian doctrines and bury
them so deep in the grave that they
won't even hear the Angel Gabriel's
horn on the last day
The great crowd cheered. and Secre-
Nta1..
the handclapping. Both Mere all smiles
at Billy's frequent blasts at the Kaiser
And they cheered loudly and long when
Billy appealed to every American citizen
to stand stanchly behind the Government

money, il necessary to send these things
to the boys who need them over in the
trenches
