SAILOR DURING WAR
DIES OF STARVATION
Priuation Induced Fatal Case
of Gastritis.

Antler, Okla, who saw service during
the war as a sailor in the United States
Navy died in the Mercer Hospital here
to-day. The cause Of. his death was
ascribed. to gastritis, due to long en-
forced abstinence from food.
Woods went to the local chapter of the
Red Cross about four weeks ago and
asked for something to eat. He said
he had been accepted again for service
in the navy and wanted to- eat sorne-
thing before going to the navy yard for
examination. The Red Cross officials
saw the man was i'll and sent him to the
hospital where he became worse.

Taken All Honors.
Aircraft frankly has flown away with
all the honors- for fast sinking of the
German war vessels, of which three de-
stroyers and three submarines already
have been destroyed. Whether this rec

tion of the heavier types, the cruiser
and the battleship, remains to be dem
onstrated. although the full force of
aircraft may not be felt, since the size
OF the bombs to be used will be limited
TO 500 pounds.
In the sinking of the two German de-
stroyers V-43 and the S-132, airplanes
accomplished what American destroyers
found it impossible to do. making bet

One Of the important bearings the

come out of the record made yesterday
by the destroyers which. while they
managed to hit the two Germans. failed
to sink them with their inch batteries.
Gunfire, Of course. has been the sec

high speed coming first. Just the same
the tendency has been in destroyer con-

ers. with light batteries.
One of the important features was the
demonstrated ability of destroyers to

that the United States is so full
of love, that Catholics will per-

know that there were Jews in
America before his ancestors
were here-and that without the
Jews who were here and aided in ;
the revolutionary times, we
might still have been an English
Dominion? Does he know that he
is displaying a most ungracious
and un-American attitude, when
he forgets that in our recent war
there were nearly half a million
who represented those who do
not believe as he does? Or does
he want to bring us back to the
golden days, when men and wom-
en- were forced to go to Church
Sunday to hear the ministers
and when they failed, they were
treated to the delicious expert

What fine bit of sarcasm in
the statement "that followers of
the Christian religion need not
be instructed to be more faithful
in their observance of the day."
If followers of the Christian re-
ligion become Christians-what
need of the evangelist, Billy Sum-
day?
We are disappointed at this
most recent outbreak of the 9TH
erwlse genial and talented evan
gelist. Billy Sunday is a good fell
low-and a man of great power.
But it appears to us that he is
drifting-and certainly that last
paragraph in the interview, indi-
Gates to us, and we hope we are
wrong, that he is drifting not
forward-but Fordward. We
hope we are mistaken. There is
such a thing as an honest differ
ence of opinion-but when men
of the stamp and influence of
Sunday tell us that if we don't
like his religion, he will make us
like it by law, then it is time to
think, to prepare and to answer.
Even big men can be mistaken;
and perhaps Washington, Ad-

BILLY SUNDAY AND
AMERICA.

Billy Sunday, the famous
evangelist, has issued an inter-
view in which he defends the
movement for the Sunday Blue
Laws. He denies in the inter-
view that he is in favor of abol-
ishing tobacco, or that he is
leader in the anti-tobacco reform
movement. He does say, how
ever, that "a man can be a Chris
tian and use tobacco, but it is my
private opinion he would be
better Christian if he didn't"
Just why one can't be as good
Christian when smoking a cigar
as when he does not smoke it
or why smoking makes any diff
ference in ones Christianity, we
don't know-but Billy evidently
does.
But there is another part of
the interview in which we are
interested. Billy Sunday does not
believe in Sunday baseball, ten
mis-, golf and kindred sports. Nor
does he believe in keeping the
stores open on Sunday. "The
Biblical Sabbath" he says, "is to
remember the Sabbath and keep
it holy"
Then he is purported to have
made this statement: press and
forum in every part of the coun-
try today, voice the plea for a re-
vival of the old fashioned relig-
ion in the city and country, Of
fering this as the only antidote
for the spirit of unrest and dis
content and moral laxity which
has permeated every walk of
life."
81 thoroughly believe that to
be the only cure for the ills of
the day, and there is no more eff
fective way to put it into prac-
tice than by a better observance
of Sunday. Followers of the
Christian religion need not be in
structed to be more faithful in
their observance Of the day. Cit
liens who acknowledge no God,
if unwilling to pay Difference to
the customs of this Christian ma
ton, as a matter of policy and
courtesy, should be compelled to
do so, by statute"
We should not have given any
attention to an interview of this
sort, if Billy Sunday had not
paid it out. If some country min
lister or professional reformer
had given utterance to these
thoughts, we should have passed
them by. But Billy Sunday is an
influential man in this country,

ious liberty guaranteed to all
men and women-without re-
gard to majorities; he will find
that the best minds of the older
times agreed upon this PROPOSE
ton, where they differed on
them in the interview; and if he
studies, find that the Blue Laws
which he advocates, were the
very things that kept the colon
les from becoming those Ravens
of refuge which the United
States became, after the Declar-
alton of Independence and the
Constitution of the country gave
direction to our development.
We are not ready to feel that
Sunday did not intend to slur the
Jews because he did not name
them in the interview; and if he
meant us-and we think that he
DID have his eyes set in our d.
rection, he used mighty poor
phraseology in referring to us,
even by innuendo, "as citizens
who acknowledge no God" We
dare say that we have fully as
much acquaintance with Cod
and certainly one of longer dur
ation-than our friend-for Bill
ly Sunday has always been a
friend of the Jews-and we have
his own words for this state
ment. With all the more surprise
comes the purported statement
he made.
Does Billy Sunday know that
the very foundation of democra-
cy is a proper consideration for
the interests and the welfare of
the minorities? Does Billy Sum-
day know that to enforce relig-
ious statutes is a contravention
of everything that is most holy
in the makeup of Americanism?
Does Billy Sunday want to REIN
stitute the days of the Inquisi-
ton? Does Billy Sunday know
that once we start to enforce the
religious doctrines of the major
ity, our country will succumb to
the strife and struggle among
the different sects? Does Billy
Sunday think that because there
are seventy million or so Protes-
tants, he can throttle the faith
of the thirty million Catholics
and the religious beliefs of the
six of seven Millions of others?
Does Billy Sunday know what it
means to read into a statute-a
national law-the religious be-
liefs of one sect or another-has
he pondered the enormity of
such dark-aged, devilish pro-
ceedingG
Does Billy Sunday know that
he displays an unmitigated con-

we Will forgive Billy sunday
for quoting the Old Testament
on the Sabbath, and making the
injunction apply 10 SUNDAY in
stead of SATURDAY. This is
not the first time it has been
done, and will not be the last. 1t
is asking him and others too
much, to be consistent. We
might, however remind our
readers that the Biblical Sab
bath refers to the seventh day of
the week, holy unto the God of
Israel and the Creator of the I'm
iverse, while the present agita-
ton refers to the first day of the
week, Sunday, made a day of
holiness long after the institu-
ton of the true Sabbath, and GER
tainly not instituted as a day of
holiness unto the God of Bibli-
cal revelation. If you want to
confirm what is here being said,
read any scholarly article on the
Sabbath"
But our quarrel with Billy
Sunday is not so much over the
Biblical or the Roman day of rest
as it is over his unctious ukase
and dangerous inference that
those who don't like his Sabbath
should be made to pay Difference
to it by law. The statement
comes with un-Christian grace
from the noted evangelist. 1t is
not befitting a man who occupies
the position he does-and we sus-
pect that Sunday made this un-
studied statement without CIV
ing it mature and serious con-
sideration. Or, if this is the ma
ture judgment of the man, it is
a mighty poor piece of reason
ing.
One almost feels like telling
Billy to study the history of the
United States. One certainly is
justified in telling him what de-
mocracy is. And then one feels
like reminding him that if this
is a Christian nation-and Mr..
Sunday will have a hard time
proving this to open-minded men
and women-it certainly ought
to show a decent regard for the
minorities.
If Mr.. Sunday will read the
history Of Rhode Island and the
life of Roger Williams if he will
read the biographies of Thomas
Jefferson and the early builders
of the Republic, he will find
perhaps to his dismay-that a
Christian nation in the legal
sense, is just what the United

Prohibition Commissioner
Determines to Attempt TO
Limit. Use of Alcoholic
Stimulants to Invalids

WASHTNG1 ON, Feb. "a census of
all liquor in the possession Of whole
sale druggists has been ordered by
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer to
determine how long the present ban
against Withdrawal of intoxicants from
bonded warehouses shall remain in
force.
Orders have gone out to all Federal
prohibition directors, Internal Revenue
officials said tonight, to submit to
prohibition headquarters here an esti-
mate Of the amount Of liquor In their
districts free from bond. Returns from
the directors are expected within the
next week.
When the result ia known, officials
explained, they will be able to deter
mine how long the stoppage of with
drawals can continue without inter-
fering with stimulants prescribed for
illness.
Exception to the general refusal TO
issue withdrawal permits allowing re-
tail druggists to obtain five cases Of
liquor, prohibition officials said, applies
only to the sale by wholesale druggists
from their stocks "on the floor" in
their establishments.
When this supply is exhausted, off,
cials declared, provision will have to
be made to enable the wholesalers to
replenish their stocks for the benefit
of the retailers, and the length Of time
within which the stocks on the aoor'
will last can be estimated when the
various directors estimates are re-
ceived
Another step tc tighten screws on
illegal distribution is under considera-
tion by the chiefs Of the prohibition
enforcement department. officials said,
through the application of the terms of
the National Prohibition act. which
permits action to be brought in the
name Of the Commissioner Of internal

Charles r. o'connor, state director
of prohibition, went to Albany yester-
day. Before going he issued state
Palmer's opinion on Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer's recent order shut
ting off the flow of liquor to all but
retail and wholesale druggists.
"The effect Of this ruling, IL IL is
sustained by the courts" he said, "will
be TO place the handling of liquors In
the hands of wholesale druggists, who
in turn can distribute the liquor to
retail druggists"
Mr.. O'Connor said that as yet Wash

the procedure whereby the wholesale
dealers now having stocks of liquor on
their floors would be permitted to dis
pose of the goods.
"But understand" he said, "that

would take another step, then stop to

Peter had felt very uncertain In
Johnny Chuck's house, because he knew
that he had no right in there if Johnny
still lived there. He felt even more
uncertain IN this house. You see. it

might still be his house That was

Jimmy still lived there and was at

Rather than fall into the hands Of
her would-be rescuers, Jenny jumped
again. This time she landed on large

Jenny's rescuers pursued her.
One deckhand, Jerry Sullivan, Of

to spear the cake Of ice. The cake was
boating rapidly down stream. Jerry
made one desperate lunge, the tugboat
rolled, Jerry lost his balance and
toppled head first into the river.
At this development all interest sud

For this Jenny was grateful. She had
