Record Response
At Revival Meet

The largest number so far to come
forward in single service responded
last evening at the close OF the mes
sage delivered by Rev. Alfred G..
| Carr, in the old Republican building,
at the corner of Second and Adams
| streets. For nearly an hour the
evangelist set forth from a scrip
tural standpoint the necessity on the
new birth for entrance into the
Kingdom OF God" God not only
| wants to make of US new creatures,
said the evangelist, but He has told
us in the vision that the Apostle
John saw on the isle of Patmos, that
he will make a new heaven and a
new earth. And in another portion
of the scripture he says Behold l
make all things new" The fact that
the race fell, caused all creation to
be marred, therefore God is begin
ming by making the race new in
Christ Jesus, His son, and in order
for us fully to enjoy and have a part
in that new creation, we "must be
born again"
The crowds have been increasing
and the interest rising with every
service and every prospect is that q
great revival will be had. The meet
ings are to continue every evening
beginning at o'clock, with after
noon meetings beginning at 2:30.
Everyone of every faith and order
are invited to attend the meetings
and take a real part.

STEAM is ON ITS LAST LEGS

The development of most of the
latent riches in the earth's crust
must depend on power in such i'm
mense units and tremendous guam
titles as can be possible only through
the use of water power. The truth is
that industry is near the end of it's
coal stage. Steam, if the figure may
be permitted, is on its last legs. The
small, isolated steam power plant,
the steam driven locomotive, in. an
other generation or two, will be al
most as truly relics as are Deadwood
stage, General Washingtou's carriage
or the gilded and bedizened state
chariot in which the lord mayor of
London once a year makes a show
of himself by journeying from Tenn
pie Bar to the Mansion House in
medieval grandeur.
The other day / stood on a high
point on the south bank of the Ten
nessee, at a point where the roaring
stream is nearly two miles wide, and
suggests the Amazon or yukons My
engineering friend pointed TO the
stream and said:
"At today's stage of the river. there
is 100000 horsepower passing US. 1t
is the power which we must harness,
here and in hundreds of other places,
position industrially. For power de-
rived from steam and coal is utterly
inadequate to the demands of indus
trial chemistry and the electric fur
mace. Power from coal and steam
has been found to be utterly too ex-
pensive, save in the most favorable
! circumstances.
I'm this new age of hydro electric
power and industrial chemistry, there
will be revolutions in industrial re-
lations. For instance Italy, the old
est western civilization. well nigh
tell out of competitiaon during the
age of steam because it has no coal.
We think of South America as un-
| able ever to Develop its mineral and
metal wealth because it has no coal.
But today Italy is fairly launched
| upon development of its water
powers, among the greatest and
| cheapest. Whenever Italy can COM
| mand the capital its water power
! will make it one of the first indus
| trial areas in the world.
Both South America and Africa
| far surpass North America and Eu-
| rope in water powers. We think of
| Niagara, where there is already a
| commercial development approach
| ing a million horsepower, and in1ag-
/ inc that our continent leads the
! world. But we have only one Mag
| ara. and our water powers in gem
eral will prove far more expensive
| to develop.
This is the condition we have to
| look in the face. Our continent is
! less rich in water power. and we have
| not made a great advance in devel-
oping what we have. Right now,
Buenos Aires is planning to develop
near one million horsepower from

ACTING GOVERNOR
ISSUES MEMORIAL
DAY PROCLAMATION

In a proclamation issued yesterday.
Ernest R Hall. acting governor of
Arizona urges a state wide obSerV-
ance of Tuesday. May so. 8 Memo
riol Day. and especially calls upon
all ex-service men TO take part in
the memorial exercises. He also rec
ommends that in connection with the
observance of Memorial Day, the en-
blem of the silk poppy be generally
worn. The proclamation is as fol-
lows:
ION one day each year we turn
aside from the ordinary activities OF
life to gratefully recall the sacritlces
of those who died and those who suf-
fered in order that these United
States might be and might endure.
and to deck with sprIngtime's falrest
flowers the spots where they lie
sleeping. This is a beautiful custom
an done of great value, if in our
hearts we truly observe it. On the
other hand perfunctory acknowledg-
nnent of the day, or perversion of its
hi0l- purpose into that of an ordinary
holiday for sports and merry making
is worse than no observance at all,
tending as 1t does to dull the sense
of patriotism and diminish apprecla-
tion of real American institutions.
1.-The day belongs TO those who
have sacrificed their all for this, our
country. On this day they live again,
and we honor them with Natures
brightest blossoms. On this day they
once more become real. and through
the memory of their devotion to
America we are inspired to live as
they would have US live, and be what
they would have us be-real Amerl-
can citizens. Unless it brings this
meaning into our lives. Memorial Day
is an empty ceremonial. devoid OF
force or life.
In our solemn acknowledgment OF
the incalculable debt we owe our
hero dead let US also not forget to
alleviate the sufferings of the living.
1t has been most appropriately sug-
gested by the various organizations
of ex- service men rnat Memorial Day
be marked by the general wearing OF
the Flanders Poppy. the inter- allied
memorial flower. These little SYM
bols of remembrance of those who
made the supreme sacrifice during
the World war are made by the
women and orphans of France, and
the proceeds derived from their sale
will be used not only for their assist
ance, but also to provide a relief
fund to meet the distress occasioned
by unemployment among our own ex-
service men,

Arizona. do urge a statewide OBJ

Rubles To Send
Russian Letter

That the United States is not the
only country in the world in which

fact that it cost $4,000 rubles, Rus
sian money, to mail one letter from
Petrograd, Russia. to Phoenix. Ari-

terday by Don C. Mote, state ento-
mologist, and on the back of the en-

Engineer Finds
Paving Job O. K.

After hearing arguments by prop
erty owners on East Washington
street, who declared the paving job
recently completed from Fifth to
Sixteenth streets was unsatisfactory,
members of the city commission
brought the hearing to a close yes
terday after three days session by
denying the protest and sanctioning
the claim of the contractor for his
pay.
The protest, which was in the form
of a resolution, asked that the city
refuse to accept the job and that
payment be stopped. 1t carried 2S
signatures. City Engineer Reed re-
ported to the commission that the
work was satisfactory and accord
ing to plans and specifications He
explained that a crack in the pave
ment, which was largely the basis for
the protest, had been caused by a
bursting water main for which the
contractor was not responsible but
which he had offered to repair with
out additional cost.

BIRMINGHAM FAVORED AS A
DISTRIBUTING CENTER

Two months ago an experienced manufac-
turer, heretofore operating successfully in
other cities, located plant in Birmingham.
Today he is shipping material bearing the Bir-
mingham brand to the north, south, east and
west Of Birmingham into territory formerly
supplied by the other cities.
This manufacturer has already discovered,
as he himself has stated, that a worthwhile
article made in Birmingham travels in every
direction" He is congratulating himself on
the excellence of his judgment in selecting
this city as central point for manufacturing
a product intended for distribution in the
southeast.
Birmingham is growing now as much on
account Of her situation with respect to dis
tributing advantages as for any other cause.
In fact, this Is the dominant factor in the de-
velopment of finishing mills and the location
Of diversified factories here.
The Steel Corporation was first to sense the
strategic position of Birmingham for south
eastern, southwestern, Pacific coast and export
shipments and the development of the Ten
nessee company properties since it secured
control has been based as much ON that as
on the raw material situation. Now everyone
sees it and there is going to be continuous
expansion of Birmingham industries.

JOHN DREW'S LONG SERVICE
AS AN ACTOR

In beginning his fiftieth year the stage
John Drew is the recipient of deserved felci-
tatons from the American press and the mem
bers of his profession. On and off the stage,
John Drew has ever been the gentleman. 1t is
customary to think of him in the numerous So
ciety dramas in which he has appeared, the
polished man of fashion, with a kindly humor
and personality that speaks of the finer
things of life, but that isn't quite fair to Mr..
Drew as an artist. He has played many parts
and played them well.
Possibly in bygone days there were critics
who found fault with Mr.. Drew's acting, bVk
that must have been lon gage. No matter
whether the play in which ne appeared was
a dramatic success or not, his work has in
variably approached. She perfection which has
won him lasting fame. From his early stock
company experiences until the present time,
Mr.. Drew has portrayed sufficient variety of
roles to establish the fact that he act
without wearing evening clothes or limiting
his adventures to drawing room. It is also
proof of his vitality and unflagging interest
in his profession that he does not dwell on
the past and lament the decadency of the
modern drama and the inferiority of younger
stars. Mr.. Drew is not at all discouraged by
the stage of today. He sees promise and
merit all about him.
John Drew represents the true aristocracy
of the theatre, and during his useful career he
has upheld its finest traditions, while giving
delight to several generations of American
paygoers.

To the Editor of The Accelerate:
Your conspicuously advertised sketch on
Mustapha Kemal Pasha confirmed beyond
doubt the shameful game the civilized Europe
has played on Greece, stacking their brothers,
the Christian minorites of that wretched coun-
try as chips against valuable concessions and
trade favors in Turkey. 1t is an old game, and
the world is SO used to it that even America
it spite of her clean policies, is not astounded
by its revelation; on the contrary, America
seems to approve rotten and secret diplomacy
and partakes in the rivalry Of nations to buy
for blood the benefits Of mammon. This was
plainly stated by the American commissioner
in Constantinople, Rear Admiral Bristol. In
an interview with American Near East relief
workers, as published in recent issue of
Christian Science Monitor, of Boston, he was
in Constantinople, Read Admiral Bristol. In
atrocities that they see in the Near East play
into the hands of British propaganda. It is to
the interest of the United States to keep quiet
and sustain the Angora government. In that
way there can be obtained concessions and
other business advantages" What contrast
from the WllS0nlan democracy! lnQeeu, IL IS
for one to say, whittier is civilization bound
for?
The defeat of Greece does not diminish her
past glory. For IL years she kept her sons
fighting until she exhausted every source Of
support, while her opponent was supplied with
the latest fighting equipment by France, Rul.
STA and Italy. Let Greece have fair chance
and exhausted as she may appear, she will
show the world the true blood of her ancestors
of handful against millions. And Greece
will have the chance in Thrace
Renal is faithful to his prophet and to the
god that ratified such q prophet; and through
the help of this god he claims that he won
his bloody compact; at least the writer of the
article of your esteemed paper, who, Of course,
Kema is due to his moral and religious charac-
appears to be follower of the Mohammedan
faith, allows it to be thought that the success of
ter and that his fight is that of crescent against
the cross. By so doing he demonstrated gno-
rance of the Christian teachings. The cross
does not fight. Jealousies, hate and rotten pol
tics do not represent the cross.

A FAMOUS BOOK

marks of journalist who knew his way
about Washington and had studied his types
with the insight of a trained reporter.
Perhaps it will do no harm now for the au-
thors identity to be made known. The great

with their weaknesses unerringly exposed to
public view, have had sufficient time to re-

work.

CANADA HAS LEARNED HOW TO
ELIMINATE STRIKES

Canada has shown the United States how
to solve the immigration problem, and her
methods for maintaining industrial peace are
worthy of careful study by Americans who
are trying to find some way to prevent an
endless repetition of strikes.
Writing in the Worlds Work for October,
Floyd w. Pearson says, "The law there Tin
Canada) provides that where strike or lock.
out is threatened in the industries conducting
transportation, communication by telegraph
and telephone, and mining, before such lock-
out or strike can legally take place, the par
ties must refer their differences to board
of arbitration for settlement. Each party to
the dispute appoints member of the board
of arbitration, and if these two men, agree
upon a chairman they appoint him; if not
he is appointed by the. minister of labor"
In nine years 1872 disputes were handled in
this way, and all but two were settled. In the
United States we have from 1000 to $500
strikes every year. Such a condition Of ar
fairs is a reflection on our national intelli-
gence. If Congress had a little more courage,
and it were possible to keep politics out Of the
controversies of capital and labor, way could
be found, Canada has found one, to re-
duce strikes to a minimum.
