By ELLIS C. HOLLUMS
Yesterday morning at 11 - o’clock
Gipsy Smith tojd about 4500 of Bir
mingham’s children the old story of
the words of Jesus to little children.
He told them of the incident when
many people were bringing their chil
dren to Christ and the disciples stopped
them, saying that he had no time for
(he little ones. Jesus rebuked the
disciples and said: "Suffer little chil
dren to come unto me." That was the
text of the evangelist's talk and it was
taken from the tenth chapter of Mark.
The services yesterday were tho most
beautiful that have yet been held. Pic
ture some 4500 young people gathered
in the auditorium, the bright colors
and various styles of the girls’ dresses
forming a pretty contrast to the more
sober garments of their brothers. The
Boys’ Industrial school occupied the
center section and their khaki uniforms
helped the general color scheme won
derfully. The young people were very
attentive and, as the evangelist said,
were more quiet all through the serv
ices than their elders usually are.
omg uy oecuuns
During the song service the volume
of sound coming from the throats of
hundreds of children was wonderful.
Had the parents of those young people
been present they would have been
proud of them. Mr. Smith took the
audience assembled by sections and had
t hem sing “The Old Time Religion. ’
The southeast section was filled wltii
little girls from 10 to 13 years of age
and when tlie evangelist started the
song the little ones took it up and car
ried it along in a manner that was
good to hoar. Their childish voices
rang out bright and clear. Then Mr.
►Smith called upon the center section,
occupied for the most part by the stu
dents of the Boys’ Industrial school.
Their voices were heavier than the first
section and the volume of sound was
somewhat larger. The other sections
were taken in turn and everyone in the
building then sang.
Mr. Smith told the children that lie
had never met any real intelligent peo
ple who objected to the conversion of
children. He said that ho had met
some people who did not believe in
the conversion of children but those
persons, he said, were not themselves
converted. No one wrho knows God,
said Mr. Smith, can help but believe
in converting children. He said that if
children were not converted there
would be no preachers. He turned to
the preachers and asked that all of
them who were converted when they1
were children to please rise. Ev ery min
ister on the platform stood. Mr. Smith
told them that he himself was convert
ed when he was onlyr 1C years old and
said that had lie not been converted
at that time he probably' would never
have come to Christ.
Have Common Sense
“If people understood children they
would find that most of them have
more good, common sense than is usu
ally credited to them,” said the evan
gelist. “The disciples may have
thought the children were too young.
.Jesus did not. however, and he knows.
He rebuked the disciples for turning
away the children and said, ‘Suffer
them to come unto me.' ”
Mr. Smith said he advocated the con
version of children because they would
never become enmeshed in sin if th$y
were brought to Christ in their youth.
He told of seeing old men rising in
church and giving testimony of what
Jesus had done for them; of how He
had saved them from sin. He said that
when lie heard testimonials of tills kind
he felt like getting to ills feet and
saying: “Yes, but Jesus has done more
for me than He ever did for you; he
saved me before I knew of these
things.”
The gipsy evangelist told of a recent
visit to the top of {Shades mountain
and how he had looked down upon
Birmingham on one side and the beau
tiful valley to the south on the other.
He said he told liis friends: 'God is
here; down in the valley is man.” lie
started to toll of the beauties of the
mountain scene but checked himself,
saving, “I will not indulge my wild
imagination on nature.” He said God
made that great mountain and he also
made the little speck of dust that is
brushed from the boot. “And,” said Mr.
Smith, “if that grain of dust is placed
under the microscope of Calvary one
could see the crimson cross. God made
the great oak and he also made the
dainty little daisy that grows beside
it.”
Gipsy Smith did not play upon the
emotions of his listeners but rather
preached to them a sermon of love and
the divinity of Christ. He appealed to
tlie intellect of his listeners, for, he
said, children have intellects. He ap
pealed to their good sense and Judg
ment.
Contrary to the usual procedure,
cards were distributed among the chil
dren which read: “Believing the Lord
Jesus Christ to be the only true Savior,
and knowing that I can be saved only
through His grace, I hereby accept
Him as my Savior and will follow
Him.” Space for the name and address
followed.
Many Respond to Plea
Wlien the evangelist bepan his plea
to the young people to come to Christ
there was apparently a feeling of hes
itancy among them. One arose here
and there, but it was not like it usu
ally is. They did not rise spontan
eously and quickly. Three of the In
dustrial school boys stood and several
scattered throughout the building be
STEEL COMPANY

Secretary Redfield Submits
Report of Cotton Indt^
try Investigation—Bag
ging Also Controlled
By C. E. STEWART
Washington, October 18.—(Special.)
Secretary of Commerce Redfield, In a Re
port submitted to the Senate today, vir
tually charges the Carnegie Steel com
pany of Pittsburg with the responsibility
tor the advance in the cost of cotton ties,
which has put a burden upon the cotton
industry of several hundred thousand dol
lars per season.
The Carnegie company makes 1,500,000
bundles of cotton ties annually, and the
Pittsburg Steel company, 300,000 bundle!.
The only independent competitors of this
combination are the Atlanta Steel Hoop
company, with an output of 300,000 bun
dles, and Connors, Wevman & Co. of
Helena, Ala., who produce 350,000 bundles,
and the Sharon Steel Hoop, company of
Sharon, Pa., whose output is 100,000 bun
dles.
Control Cotton Bagging
The trust lias also established virtual
control over cotton bagging, according to
the official government report. The Amer
ican Manufacturing company absolutely
controls the price of cotton bagging In
this country. That price determines what
is demanded by Importers, re-weavers of
old bagging, dealers in second hand sugar
bags, and other covering for cotton. In
the Montgomery district sugar bags are
used almost exclusively, the report show
ing that no new hags have been pur
chased in several seasons. The report
emphasizes criticisms long made against
the method of preparing cotton for mar
ket, saying: “Probably no crop is pre
pared for market in so careless a manner
or so poorly covered as American cotton.”
The report was prepared by D. M. Bar
clay, assisted by W. A. Graham Olark,
cotton experts of the department of com
merce. Their conclusions are that the
advance in the cost of bagging and ties is
due to the following causes:
Control of the price by the trust’s ad
vance In the price of raw material;
scarcity of ties, large cotton crop, bagging
held in warehouses, and small Imports.
pan to stand timidly. Then it seemed
as though a feeling of confidence had
suddenly come to all present, a little
electrifying thrill, difficult to describe
but easy of comprehension. Children in
every part of the great tabernacle
stood in view of the great gipsy. The
Boys’ Industrial school section was sit
ting with- bowed heads and now anil
then one would rise, hut they, too, felt
the same thrill of the rest, for prac
tically the whole of them arose. And
the sun burst through the clouds in all
its glory for the first, time of the
morning. It cast bright bits of light
over the west section—a section filled
with many beautiful young girls
dressed in colorful-gowns. ATter a very
short time It dropped out of sight as
suddenly as it had arisen and clouds
again obstructed Its passage across the
heavens.
When the cards were taken In and
counted It was found that 665 chil
dren had signed the pledge to become
Christians and to lend better lives.
Speaks to Negroes
Gipsy Smith spoke last night to be
tween 4000 and 5000 negroes at the taber
nacle on First avenue. He took his. text
from the twelfth chapter of Romani: "l
beseech you, therefore, by the mercy o 1
God, that you present yourself to Him."
He told his audience that he wanted them
to notice especially three words of the
text—"God, world, self." That he told
them meant everything.
He appealed to them to forget self, to
become God’s own entirely. To always
think of God only and to eliminate self
from their thoughts.
The audience was not so large as that
of the preceding Saturday night, but the
singers were out in force, and several
solos were sung by negroes.
After the collection was taken a negro
preacher arose and said that although it
had been published in the papers that
Gipsy Smith had lost his Bible at the
first Saturday night meeting, the evangel
ist had assured him that this was incor
rect. The evangelist said never a word,
but held up his Bible that the audience
might see for itself that he still retained
it.
even though he has not lost his Bible, we
want to give him one as a token of the
love and esteem of the colored people of
Birmingham. We want it to come from
»,'ery colored man and woman In the
ty.” Two of the negro ushers were then
stationed with baskets at the foot of the
steps, and the congregation pressed for
ward to contribute toward the purchase
of a Bible for Gipsy Smith.
It was announced at the close of the
services that the amount collected for the
purpose totalled $27.06.
Traveling Men to Attend
Tt was announced at yesterday
morning’s services in the Gipsy Smith
tabernacle that all the traveling men
of the city werer to meet at the Morris
hotel this afternoon and proceed in a
body to tlie tabernacle to hear the
evangelist. The Travels' Protective as
sociation, the United Commercial Trav
elers and th,e Gideons have all been re
quested to meet. About 1600 of them
are expected. Seats are to be reserved
for the body.
The Gideons Is an association com
posed of traveling men wrho make It
a point to place Bibles In hotels. They
have placed Bibles In leading hotels
throughout North America. Most of the
hotels In Birmingham have Bibles in
their rooms through the efforts of this
organization.
The meeting this afternoon Is for
men only and begins at 3 o’clock.
Years Added to Life
Success may be spelled in dollars and
cents, but the physical ability to ac
complish something worth while keeps
the enthusiastic worker at his or her
task when dollars no longer offer an
Incentive. As age advances, we flml
ourselves unable to do some of the
things we did formerly, and the real
ization that we are growing old sud
denly dawns upon us. But, everyone
has the opportunity to forestall the
ravages of advancing age, If he wills.
Moreover, there are many degenerative
maladies affecting the vital organs that
are Inaugurated by, or dependent up
on, disturbances of the blood supply.
The diseases affecting the heart, blood
vessels, kidneys and other vital organs
are on the Increase among' people of ad
vancing years. In this age of prevent
ive medicine, It fortunately happens
that these maladies can be avoided If
taken in time. Duffy’s Pure Malt
Whiskey gives to the aged the vigor
of youth and the power to sustain

ALABAMA MILITIA IS
READY FDR FRONT
WAR IS DECLARED
' •
Many Officers of A. N. G.
Believe War With Mex
ico Is Inevitable
THREE MONTHS FOR
U. S. TO PREPARE
i
United States Army Smallest of Any
Othej Civilized Nation in Com
parison With Population—Bill
Pending Before Congress
Montgomery, October IS.—(Special.)
With conditions ns regards Mexico more
critical than at any time during the past
year, and with an infantry force scarcely
exceeding 40,000 men ready to be put into
the field, there is little wonder that those
interested in military matters have begun
to speculate as to how soon the United
States could prepare for war with the tur- j
bulent little republic south of us.
By many officers of the Alabama Na
tional Guard war with Mexico is thought j
to be inevitable. This impression has ob
tained for several months, though now
it is believed that the war clouds are
gathering thicker and faster, with every
indication that within GO or 90 days troops
will be on the march to various mobiliza
tion points preparatory to invading Mex
ico.
But however confident one might feci
regarding the outcome of a struggle be
tween the United States and Mexico, it is j
declared that the United States is !
scarcely better prepared for war with
Mexico or any other country at this time
than in 186<X at the outbreak of the civil
war, whepf the army amounted to less
than 17,006 men. It is declared by army j
and national guard officers, as well as by
all military experts, that the army at |
the present clay, when one considers the i
various problems that mRy be set before
it, is relatively little larger than It was
in 1861.
In the opinion of military experts the
United States would need an army of
nearly 500,000 men to invade Mexico, rr
about 20 times the present strength of the
forces ready to be mobilized immediately.
The United States Is known to have a
smaller army as compared with popula
tion than any other civilized nation in the
world. In time of peace, the United
States has a mobile army of less than one
man to every 1500 of population.
Comparison With Other INations
IrT comparison with other nations, the j
strength of the United States army seems ;
rather insignillcant. The table given be
low will show' more clearly than mere
words the needs of the United States, par
ticularly wdien war is more imminent than
at any time during the past 12 years:
In tlie principal nations of the world
the strength of the mobile army as
compared wjth population is as fol
lows:
Great Britain and Ireland, one man to
every 206 of population; Germany, one
man to every 70 of population; France,
one man to every’ 50 of population;
Russia, one man to every 190 of popu
lation; Japan, one man to every 120 of
population.
Again, the United States with a
mobile army' consisting of one man to
every 1500 of population, w'ould have
an army one-seventh that of Great
Britain, one-eighth that of Russia, one
eleventh that of Japan, one-tw'entieth
that of Germany, and one-twenty
cighth that of France.
iiirre iTiumiiB iu i icp<ur iui tt e»i
Military experts tell us that it would J
take the United States three months to ;
prepare for war with Mexico. It i»
pointed out that were war declared to
day against the southern republic, the
most the United States could expect to
do would be to send her navy and
blockade the various Mexican ports, j
The 15 or 17 regiments available could
be used, It is declared, to police the j
frontier and to blockade several places i
on land.
During the period in which tho Mexi- I
can Sports and several plieces inland |
were blockaded, the United States j
would be busy training volunteer
troops, mobilizing various National!
guard organizations, and preparing for
i a general invasion. Right now the coun- !
I try is no better prepared for war with
! Mexico—and probably not as well pre
pared—rthan she was prepared for war
with Spain.
The unpreparedness of the United;
States for war with Mexico is looked'j
upon as more or less appalling, when
the relative strength of the two coun
tries is considered. With an army of
150.000 regulars, it is pointed out by’!
military authorities that the United i
States might easily subdue Mexico in a !
short time, yet witfl an army of hardly
40.000 trained regular** and with 300,
000 volunteers, it is declared that the 1
cost necessary to prosecute successfully
a war with Mexico would be more than
adequate to have maintained a stand
ing army - f 300,000 regulars for 10
years.
Bill Before Congress
There Is pending before Congress a bill
looking to the reorganization of the land
forces of the United States government,
end it la declared that the military com
mittee of the Senate is favorable to tho
provisions of tho bill. Briefly, the plan
looks to Increasing tho land forces by
10 additional regiments of infantry. This
Increase will enable the United States to
keep at home 17 regiments of infantry,
and to garrison our foreign possessions
with 13 regiments of infantry, placing four
regiments In the Philippines; six regi
ments In Hawaii and three regiments In
Panama.
The entire plan of reorganization of the
land forces of the United States com
prises 30 Infantry regiments. 15 cavalry
regiments and six field artillery regi
ments, an increase of 10 Infantry regi
ments, third artillery regiment and 3)4
field artillery regiments. This would give
the United States In time of peace a
standing army of 60,182 men.
Alabama Militia to the Front
In the event war is declared between
the United States anil Mexico, It is prac
tically certain that Alabama will be called
upon to furnish her three infantry regi
ments. Many Katlonul Guard officers of
this state have expressed a willingness to
go to the front, and the fact that Ala
bama Is so near to Mexico makes it prac
tically certain that they will be given an
opportunity to serve their country In tho
event the United States should invade the
little southern republic.
It is also certain that none of them,
would bo given a chance before they had
gone through months of preparation,
training volunteers and raw recruits, and
in fitting themselves and their men for
more efficient service than they might be
able to render at present.

Weather Conditions
Birmingham, October 18.—7 p. m.)—The
barometric pressure is low and the weath
er unsettled over a rather narrow belt
extending along tho Atlantic and gulf
coasts, but practically all of the remainder
of the country is under the influence of
high barometric pressure, centered in the
far northwest. Within the last 24 hours
pressure changes have occurred slowly,
and as a result the expected clearing
weather In the western gulf region did
not occur. However, there was very lit
tle rain In the south today.
It is growing steadily cooler over the
eastern and southern sections of the coun
try. but little change occurred in the cen
tral and western sections within tho last
24 hours., Sunday and Sunday night will
continue cool in Alabama, but it Is not
likely that frost will form. A minimum
of not much below 50 Is to be expected,
whereas a reading near 40 at the Btatlon
usually occurs before frost forms in tho
valleys below.
Fair weather will prevail in this section
Sunday and probably Monday, and a
change to warmer will occur early In the
week.

going to do any good.
Neither la Juat a few days' trial a safe teat. A truss
may seem alright the first week or so and then prove
utterly worthless.
But you can’t poesible make a mistake after sixty
days' trial.
And there'Is only one thing of any kind for rupture
that you can get on such a long trial—
Only one thing good enough to stand such a long
and thorough test.
That is our guaranteed rupture holder—the famous
Cluthe Automatic Massaging Truss.
Made Ob New Principles
The Cluthe Truss Is so radically different from
everything else for rupture that it has received eight
een separate'-'patents. Made on an absolutely new
principle—far more than Just a trues.
Tt has eo thoroughly proved it merit* in nearly
?0n.000 casoa that surgeons in the U. ft. Array and
Navy and physicians In gll parts of the wo fid now rec
ommend tt instead of advising operation.
YVU1 Save You From Operation
A rupture can't possibly be relieved—can't even
be kept from growing worse—unless protected against
all strains and constantly kept from coming out. Just
is a broken bone can’t "knit" unless constantly held
together.
And that Is the rum of wearing elastic or spring
trusses—not one in twenty ever hold successfully—•
they sooner or later make operation absolutely neces
sary instead of preventing it.
But remember the Cluthe Truss is guaranteed to hold
—ami won’t cost you a cent If it doesn't—And in
addition It provides the only way ever discovered for
overcoming, the weakness which is the real cause of
rupture.
Tt does that entirely automatically—without any at
tention whatever from you—And has tints brought?
complete recovery in thousands of cases that seemed
almost hopeless, ami has saved thousands of people
from having to rlak their lives under the surgeon’s
knife.
Vo Drlffl, Vo Leg strap*, Vo Spring*
The Cluthe Truss does away entirely with tho curse
of wearing bells, leg straps and springs. People who
have tried it say it Is as comfortable as their clothing
And It is waterproof—will hold In the bath. Also
perspirutlon-proof. Basil? kept clean.
