World Nearer God.
Billy startled his audience for q mo-
ment when he cried: 'T think the
world today is much nearer God than
ever It was before the nrst gun was
fired in this great struggle"
Billy didn't take time to explain
why he thought so. but at one time
during hfs talk the evangelist re-
marked that the world was expiatInE
its sins in fire and blood and battle.
Which his audience took to mean an
explanation of his later statement.
In replying to Billy after the SER
mon was over, Secretary Daniels told
the evangelist that he believed him to
be an enormous force for good in the
and that he for one was glad
to welcome him TO Washington.
"Rody" also spoke q few words be-
fore the party left the Daniels home.
George Ashley Brewster was at the
piano. The audience stood up and
sang America" before Billy opened
the service, after which there was a
three-minute period OF prayer, in
which the evangelist asked the bless
ings from the zone on high for the
President and all the men At the, head
OF the Government In this country, the
army. the navy, and the workers Of
the war"

This was part OF q talk delivered

Billy believes in treating the pub
lie servant with confederation; because
this Is always q good investment,
says he. In many cities, where Mr.
Sunday has conducted revivals, he has
0lways taken q public stand on ques-
tions OF this nature as q duty which
he owed to himself and his fellow
men.
In this case, as Il has been true
in others, Billy Sunday learned Of the
two-platoon movement on Washington
through an inadvertence, and II was
tion Il until there were Q delegation
Of hremen at the tabernacle. His
words came a. q complete surprise

Germans Refuse to Allow
Americans Leave Finland

Stockholm, March 25.-The envoy
sent by Minister Morris to General
Mannerheim, the white guard leader
in Finland, in an effort to make ar
rangements by which the Americans
in southern Finland could get through
the lines of the contending armies,
has reported that Genera. Manner
helm refused to consider the request
Of the allied ENJOYS. The general
offered to send an airplane to drop
letters from the allied ministers into
the red guards territory, but fatty
refused to have any parley with the
red command to grant the requested
"a hour armistice, or even to send an
officer with a bugler to escort the
allied emissaries.
General Mannerheim further in
formed the American, British and
French ENJOYS that the military situa-
ton was su~ that it might be month
before they could reach their country
men in the red guard territory. The
ENJOYS returned to Vasa from the
headquarters in the Hapaamaki, and
are awaiting developments there.

AMERICANS NOT
ENGAGED IN BIG
BATTLE ABROAD
Chief of Staff Declares No Con.
firmation of German Claim
Has Been Received; En-
gineerS Near Scene.
{Ry Associated PressJ

Washington, March 25.-Conhrma-
ton of German reports that American
troops have, participated in the fight
on the British front has not reached
the War department up to late hour
last night.
Major General March acting chief
OF staff. who remained at his Office
much of the day and night, said that
no advices to this effect had been re-
ceived.
1t was recalled that American rail-
way engineers, in training at the
British front, were involved in the
German counter attack i'll Cambria
some months ago: but there, had been
nothing to indicate that nothing other
than engineers have been employed
at any time with the British forces.
Officials generally displayed the
most eager interest in every item of
news as to the German drive. The
government may have received some
confidential advices from General
Pershing on the situation, but General
March said nothing was to be given
out.
The official British and German re-
ports were taken here as showing that
second phase of the great battle
had begun, and was continued
throughout the day with no decisive
results. 1t appeared that the British
line in general was intact at the close
of day.
The announcement from Berlin that
Paris had been bombarded by long
range guns seemed to settle any
doubt there has been as to what tram
spired in the French capital yester-
day and today. The range of the new
weapon--76 miles-exceeds anything
ever dreamed of by ordnance experts
here so far as known.
Whatever, the Germans may have
discovered in the way OF new ex-
plosives or new gun metal that per-
mits the use of heavier charges of
powder without destruction of the
weapon itself. it is noted with salts
faction here that the first employment
they have given their new war
monster has resulted in no military
advantage whatever. The damage in
Paris from an all-day bombardment
was insignificant.
Left to his own choice, a citizen of
Paris probably would prefer the new
gun to airplane bombs.

Captain Roosevelt Injured

Paris, March 25.--Captain Archi-
bald Roosevelt, who recently was
injured, is reported today as resting
very comfortable in a Red Cross
hospital near the front. He is
popular with the hospital doctors and
nurses and assists them in every way
possible, anl also daily aids in
cheering up other patients. In
speaking of the Red Cross work,
Captain Roosevelt is reported as
having said:
II cannot say too much in apprecia-
ton in their efforts who make us feel
as if we were back home"
