SUNDAY DECLARES FOR
WILSON EVERY WAY
Says Anyone Who Does Not Back UP
President in Fight Against Kaiser
Is IA Contemplate Coward or a
Traitor.

Washington, Jan. Billy Sun
days first day of rest-alWays Mon
day after three strenuous perfor
mances the day before-was moi
spent by the Evangelist in accord
ance with his usual routine, as he
visited the White House, Secretary
of War Baker, and Secretary of the
Navy Daniels in the afternoon, anC
devoted the forenoon to giving loca
workers pointers on the way he will
conduct the eight-week campaign in
Washington.
President Wilson was not at the
White House when Billy called, but
an appointment vii be made for the
two men to meet at an early date
! The President will be invited to at
tend the services at the tabernacle,
and it is expected that he and Mrs.
! Wilson will be special guests there
{ before The campaign closes.
Il am for President Woodrow Will
son ten million ways-he's one OF
the greatest ever-and any one who
don't back him up in his battle
against old Kaiser Bill is a sneaking,
I contemplate coward, or traitor of
the worst sort" said Billy enthusi-
astically.
Hello, there, Billy" exclaimed
/ Secretary of War Baker. when the
/ Evangelist unexpectedly invaded the
! office Of the war chief. I'm glad to
see you and wish you worlds of sue
cess here"
Secretary Baker and Billy chatted
as old friends for several minutes,
and The Cabinet member said he
would be out az the Tabernacle soon
10 hear some preaching and patri-
Otism.'
Sunday went from the secretary of
wars Office to Secretary Daniels, who
attended the service al the Taber-
nacle the first day. Secretary Dani-
els was in conference with num-
Der of naval officers at the time, but
he did not keep Billy waiting long.
The two men had a private talk.
'They're couple of real birds
Baker and Daniels)," declared Bill
! ly to those with him. Both are God
fearing, real red-blooded Americans,
who are on the job and looking after
the morals and spiritual welfare of
the millions under them in a way
that is real joy to those who know
what they are doing in a quiet way.
You bet your life that the men are
in good hands with these fellows in
charge
Billy's declaration Sunday to the
effect that Congress is now rid of
grafters and bootlickers and is COM
posed OF the finest type of men in
America" made a hit with a num-
Der of Senators and Representatives
and there is movement already on
foot to invite him to speak before
the two bodies in joint session. A
member of the Sunday staff said that
Billy would speak there if given the
opportunity, and he would cut loose
right.
Another development in the Sun
Red Cross meeting o. meetings at
the Tabernacle some time during the
eight weeks, as Billy has declared
himself willing and anxious to do
anything in his power to aid the
cause.
Henry Davidson, chairman of the
War Council of the Red Cross, heard
Billy preach Sunday 1t may be pcs
sible that collection or collections
for the Red Cross may be taken at
the Tabernacle in the near future.
Among the schemes that Billy ha
in mind for the Washington can
paign is one to urge Hooverism
every opportunity presented. =
said he intends to drive home th
principles of Hooverism to his b1
audiences, and will practice thel
himself along with the rest of h
family and personal staff.
why yell, I'm a patriotic Amer
can.' and then go cram and jail
yourself full of food that may b
needed by. the fellows over on th
firing line?" said Billy.
Still another patriotic stroke e.
sayed by Billy is offering the wei
heated Tabernacle to the soldier
and sailors as shelter at night. ID
is making particular play on this
for the reason that he was infOrme
that many soldiers, sailors and ma
rines visiting Washington on shoI
notice had been unable to find lodg
inig.
We'll make this old structur
look like a barracks, if necessary t
make the fighting boys comfortable,
he said.
The first invitation to the men i
uniform was extended by Billy a
the Sunday meeting. AS a result
large number of soldier visitors t
the capital ''hit the sawdust trail. "
