Noted Evangelist viii Hold MOEn-
ing, Afternoon and Night
Meetings.

Billy Sunday will make a whirl-
wind start in opening his six weeks
campaign in Rock Island on Sun
day, Sept IA.
Three sermons will be delivered
by the evangelist on the opening
day: THE Holy Spirit" at 1920 a.
m. God Grenadiers" at > p. m,
and The Sins of Society" at 1880
p. m. There will be no meetings
on Monday, the day following, in
asmuch as the evangelist follows
the plan OF delivering no sermons
on Mondays. The services are to
be held twice daily. at 3 in the aft
ernoon and at 1880 at night.
The tabernacle, corner Twenty
fourth street and Fifth avenue, will
be dedicated on Friday, Sept. II.
Homer HOdeheaver, choir direc-
tor, will organize the 1,400 singers
who are now being signed up for
the campaign. The music is to be
one of the drawing cards of the six
weeks meetings. Rev. H. II. Pit

UNITED VETERANS
TO CLOSE CHARTER
AND ELECT HEADS

Notices were sent out to all pres
ent or prospective members of the
United Veterans of the Republic,
announcing a meeting tonight of
the Fred Schaffner unit, No. H.
The meeting will be held as usual
in the Community club hall at s
o'clock
At tonight's session the final
names will be incorporated in the
chapter, and it will be formally
closed. Permanent officers are
also due to be elected. The mem
bership, already large, is growing
partly because of the fact that all
hOnorably discharged men who
served in any war or armed in
vasion by this nation are eligible
to enrolment in this organization,
and their joining does not destroy
their allegiance or membership in
another similar club composed of
the veterans of one particular
campaign.

ARE GOING VIA HALIFAX

New York, May 6.-The proposed
start today of the navy department
transatlantic flight by way of Halifax
was postponed shortly after nine this
morning because Of adverse weather
conditions.
The departure would be made be-
fore 10 a. m. on the first day that fav-

ported, Commander John H. Powers
said.
Observations along the north Allan
tic coast this morning indicated q
probability that northeast winds
which prevented the flight today
would continue tomorrow.
Commander Powers explained that a
start would not be made after 10 a. m.
because it would bring the planes to
a terminus of the first days flight
out of Halifax after dark. This first
leg of the cruise, he said, would re-
quire eight hours or longer, if the
planes encountered head wind.
