MIR: The extract which The
= Tribune printed from my
recent sermon on "The Final
Defeat of the Devil" in which
| raised the question of whether
the preachers ought to fall into line
now and 60 on strike, has been wide
" copied in our American papers.
And, in passing from paper to paper,
it has been added to and in some
cases taken from until l have been
lade to say all sorts of things.
Letters are coming in from far and
near, from pious and anxious souls,
inquiring whether I really did say
what was printed. One paper had it
that had declared that the preach
ers ought to go on strike "for more
pay" / even received one letter
from a friend Of the devil protest
ing that his Satanic Majesty had
been misrepresented! That you may
see just what did say, I am hand
'ng you herewith a verbatim copy of
hat part of the sermon which dealt
with the strike of the preachers.
This is fuller than the brief synopsis
from which The Tribune took it's
report.

REGARD ". R. T. SERVICE
AS WORSE NOT BETTER
Petwurth Citizens Adopt Resolu-
ton Asking Abolition of Two
LA Cent Transfers.

After a discussion during which
members declared that the whole sys-
tenn of management of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company is
becoming worse, instead of better, the
Petworth Citizens Association, at a
meeting last night in the Petworth
School, Sth and Shepherd streets,
adopted a resolution asking for aboli-
ton of the two-cent transfer. The
resolution declares that if the COM
pany is so much in need of funds.
straight six-cent fare should be au-
thorized, instead of what was called
the annoying and improper method of
collecting two cents for each transfer.
Improved Management Needed.
Believing that improved manage
ment is needed more than increased
revenue by the street car company,
the association adopted an amend
ment to this effect to the resolution,
introduced by the secretary, Jesse
Suter.
General dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed in regard TO the operation of
the Washington Railway and Electric
lines. Members said that the road
beds throughout the suburban sec
tons. and. in some instances, even in
the downtown sections. are in most
atrociouS" condition. Conductors are
charged with being impudent and
with swearing at women if they do
not move fast enough.
Capital Traction Praised.
The Capital Traction Company was
praised for it's efficient service Mr.
Suter said that he did not believe the
Capital Traction Company was especi-
ally in favor of the abolition of the six
tickets for quarter plan, and that the
company had simply had the two-cent
transfer thrust upon it, and was not at
all in favor of it. The practice of the
Capital Traction Company, however, in
having two kinds of transfers, one for
intercompany and the other for its
own lines, was criticised by the asso-
citation, on account of the confusion
CO used by having to ask for a particular
kind Of transfer.
Increased Facilities Asked.
Increased school facilities for the
Petworth section will be asked by the
association. With the growing popu-
lation of that community the members
feel that the conditions at present are
not adequate.
Fifteen new members were elected at
the meeting last night and the member
ship is now close to the 500 mark.

PARIS, March 25.-Josephus Daniels,
The American Secretary of the Navy,
with his party, reached Paris from
Brest this morning.
The Secretary will remain in Paris
about five days, during which he will
discuss the naval lessons of the war
with French British and Italian naval
authorities. He will see President
Wilson, and with his party will visit
Italy and parts Of the fighting fronts
in France, and then will go to England.
The Secretary said he had inspected
the American military camp at Brest,
and added:
II can see no reason for criticism
of this camp, but more to praise than
any camp | have visited in the United
States. What the officers have done
there will thrill Americans who take
pride in big achievements.

camp there. Some of them carried
heavy packs as they marched into the
camp, fresh from the scenes where, in
the grim business of war, they had
looked unafraid into the face of death.
All of them had seen hard service.
Their eyes had thoughtful serious
ness, except when you spoke of home,
and then they fairly danced with happy
anticipation
In two trips over the camps here l
walked about while it was raining, but
fifty miles of boardwalk made it pos
sible to visit all parts of the camp
without inconvenience. Every man in
camp has ? bunk, mattress and five
blankets.
Every tent is squared by wooden
framing and has wooden floor and
stove. l found an ample supply of fuel
available for all the stoves in the camp.

give each man in camp two baths a

Banks Respond
and Buy W. S. S.

The promptness with which
the banks in the Louisiana part
of the Sixth Federal Reserve dis
trict responded to the request of
the government, through the
War Savings Organization to
buy and keep for sale War Saw
Iings in 1919, has created favora-
BILE comment in treasury circles.
The first Louisiana bank to res
pond, with the announcement
that it had bought $1,000 of the
stamps was the First National
Bank of Arcadia Parish, at Crow

is president. Other banks fol-
lowed quickly and fifteen banks

tor for banks and post offices for

his work. Banks throughout
the local district have responded
almost unanimously and are both

promised demonstration of the --latest
invention in automobiles by the
Richard Carter Co. Inc. 1t is prom
ised to place on exhibition, a multi
pie piston engine propelled truck
This is the result of an invention on
which DR.. A. R. Carter, of Hammond
has been working for the last three
years, and on the formation of ST.
OOO0OO stock company, a year ago, to
develop his ideas
Conceiving the idea of steam driv..
en- automobiles, trucks and tractors
DR.. Carter worked on the theory of
the elimination Of all complicated
machinery as far as possible in the
construction of automobiles and after
dilfgent research found that not only
a gearless car could be made, but
one without a differential. Thus
was the power applied direct, right
near the point of traction and direct
ly in line with the load. So with
modern steaming plant under the
hood, condensing radiator mounted
upon the front end of the frame, and
a pair of little multiple piston en-
gines attached to rear wheel sub.
stitution for the complicated gasoline
driven machine was evolved. This
mechanism does away with carbure-
tors, spark plugs, motor clutch and
many other parts which are very
easily put out of commission.
1t is claimed for the new inven-
tion that it can be operated with
seventy-five per cent reduction in up

cent saving in fuel, the life of the
