WASTAGE LARGELY REPAIRED

CT. w. Lamont in Atlantic Monthly
 On the ocean, submarine warfare has made great gaps in the worlds ton mage. Yet the shortage in shipping is much less serious than most people think. Shipbuilding. especially in the United States and Great Britain, has been going on at a furious pace AL really the wastage by submarine has been largely repaired. Figures show that the worlds tonnage is already only per cent below that of 1913. (Of course normally there would have been Q substantial increase) By 1920 the worlds tonnage will be normal, or even a trifle above that.

let out walls and squawks that jerked

times during his hour. The causes Of
failure could be summed up In the one
word, "SIN," both of commission and
omission, and Billy Sunday told the
people frankly lot of folks would
be damned, not for what they did but
for what they didn't do. Infidelity
came in to get the buns rush to the
far corner of the tent and Billy Sun

New York, April 4.-Prompt relief
for the people of Motenegro who are
officially reported to be dying from
starvation is urged in a letter writ
ten by Alexander Devine, an English
friend of Montenegro. to Herbert c.
Hoover, the Food administrator In
Paris, copy Of which has been re
ceived here In his letter Mr.. De-
vine charged that there had been
very gross unfairness to Montene-
gro in the endless delays and obsta
cles which had been placed in my
way" in efforts to obtain relief for
the Montenegrins.
Mr.. Devine wrote that he first ap'
pealed to the British authorities in
behalf of the Montenegrins In 1916
but that UP to the signing of the arm
istice mot as much as agrain OF rice
ever was permitted to enter Montene-
gro" After the armistice he re-
newed his efforts and finally was re-
fered to Mr.. Hoover in Paris but for
two months was unable to obtain a
passport to go to Paris and see him
end Colonel Anderson of the Ameri
can Red Cross. Finally Mr.. Devine
wrote he had arrived in Paris to find
Mr. Hoover absent Meanwhile ne

arrived at ,Cataro but "the relief fell
irto the hands of the Serbianc and
aided them In their political purposes
against King and country" F." These de-
laws and obstacles, Mr.. Devine told
Mr.. Hoover, demonstrated unfairness
to Montenegro and. he added, Il have
no sense of having obtained justice
during these long weary months ol

Since Mr.. Deyine's letter was writ

Montenegro by the American Peace

The Personal Touch
Again last night as people came
forth with new pledge for better
lives, Sunday spoke to every one, even
thanked them for doing that great
thing for themselves; thanked them
as though their coming forward had
been as personal favor to him.
"A nice looking young fellow, a fine
looking girl Thank you, folks, this
is great" were some of the words of
Mr. Sunday as the stream came for
ward. Then an old man, on the lapel

asked If the boy had yet come home.

Billy Sunday Inducing
Many To 'Hit the Trail

(By Mac Parker in Tampa Tribune)
Wonderfully clear was the call OF
God given through the lips of Billy
Sunday last night to another of the
vast crowds which are making fam
GUS that little spot of tent-covered
ground In the corner of Plant Field.
Wonderfully clear, and very hard to
resist,
For Billy Sunday spoke of atone
ment," the central doctrine OF Chris
tian religion, the plan whereby sim
ners may again be made one with
God-the plan of salvation. He left
off the camouflage and spoke out on
atonement as he ehas spoken on other
great divisions Of Christian religion,
simply, clearly, interesting alike to
the child of the primary grade and
to the professors Of Universities, de-
livered his message with punch and
simplicity, that there could be no
misconstruction.
Hundreds heard the message and
let it sink deep in their hearts and
the response was the quickest and the
greatest of the campaign. Anxious to
become a part of Gods great plan,
to accept Jesus Chrisa, to relinquish
ways of the devil and to rededicate
lives to God, there was a stampede
last night on the great sawdust trail

hands were given in pledge of atone
