WILSON MAKES PEACE LESS REMOTE FOR ALLIES
GERMANY'S LAST CHANCE
SAYS "BILLY," REFERRING
TO PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Revivalist Says Central Powera Are "Gone"
Uniese They Snatch Present Oppor
tunity to End World War.
B7 ARTHUR JOYCE.
Billy Sunday wound up a great sermon at the Tabernacle last
night with one of the most inspiring patriotic "digressions" he has ever
nade in any of his campaigns.
He pictured to an audience of approximately 14,000 persons, who
crowded every available inch of space in the big wooden building op
posite Union Station, the cruelties of Germany in the Belgian Invasion,
the horrible murder of Armenian men and women and children by the
Turks, the persecution of Servia and Rumania and Poland, the sinking
of the Lusitania, "with its martyred men and defenseless women and
children."
?.Idler. Cheer Evangelia?.
Then he leaned over the plnttorm
? nd shouted to the (rent gathering.
"What grave is deep enough to
bury the German assassin? of wo
men and children, the despoilers of
women ?nd children?those pirates
of the sea th?t sent the Lusitani?
to the bottom of the ocean where
their skeletons now cry eut for
vsm g?ancer*
Billy banged hi? fist on the wood
en pulpit, the perspiration flowed
from his face and he ?houted with
all the physical power he could
gather:
"It's up to the United State* to
wipe out this nation, in the n.m?
of God: Germany h?? her only
?-?ance now. President Wilson
pointed oat the way In hi? address
to Conerei? today. And if she
d?>??n-t take it. ?he? GONE! GONE:"
Ther? were about tiOO ?oldiers
lined up in the front rows with
t?at big audience of 14,000 and they
Md a loud cberlng that wouldn't

dlenc? applauded and shouted. It

GIYE UP ROADS
Kr?llschnitt* Makes Plea
for Restoration of Pri
vate Ownership.
Government ownership of the rail?
roads is absolutely unnecessary, ac
cording to Julius Kruttschnitt. Testi
fying yeeterday before the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce,
th? chairman of the Southern Paci
fic'* board of directors asserted that
the government can reap all the bene
fit? and avoid all the liabilities of
railroad ownership by leaving the
roar?? to their preaent owner? after
tbe war.
lie stipulated two conditions on
which tbe roads could, under private
control, do ?a well ?a they could po*
?ibly do under government ownership.
Th??e were, unification Into a single
?ystem by government direction and
elimination by the government of th?
antlpoollng ?ectlon of the ?ntltruat
law?.
?it AM? Raw??.
With these step? taken, he ??Id. th?
government could command a, high
degree of efficiency, but ?till leave the
roa??? and their pronta to their own
ers. He aded that tb? government
tou?. if deemed advisable, control
or regniate railroad flnanees.
Tb? war. Kruttschnitt testified.
?saved off bankruptcy for many
read?. Increased trame due to tbe
war enabled tbe road? to meet higher
wage demands and higher equipment
cost? than they had ever faced.
senators Pomerene and Cummins
aaked questions to bring out tbe effect
?f valuing the roads on a stock basis.
Senator Cummin? figured that by
? veraging the stock value of the
roads for tbe last three yeara th? gov
ernment would have to guarantee th?
Campanie? 175O.000.OCO annually. Under
th? President? plan ot guaranteeing
? three-year average earning, annual
ly, tb? roads will get st lea?t ?60.0??,
e? each year. Kruttschnitt objected
vigorously to tba suggestion that
?lock value? might be used a? a basis
for compensation. H? declarad th?
?lock value? have no relation what
ever to the real valuation of tb? raa
road properties.
