SIMPLE .REL‘IGION AGAIN
Billy Sunday and his band of co-
workers are now busy in Paterson, N.
J., confident of their usual success, in
spite of the opposition of those whol
disapprove of the evangelists's sensa-i
tional tactics.
Approval or disapproval of tllis man
and his methods is immaterial. The
one fact that a great religious reviv
al of any kind dri1es home is the v'car
ning of c1 ory human being for some;
anchorage other than a temporal one. '
The cry of the spirit 'of spiritual
sustenance and support is eternal. '
And slowly but verv surely the whole?
world is swinging to normal in mat-
tels religious. The simple, soulvsutis 1
tying doctllne preached by Jesus of:
Nazareth is by degrees coming to re
place and loot out laddist “isms.' l
Religion is e1ery man's answer to
his souls query, and every wholesome:
religious cult pretending to be new:
has been little more than a branch'
plucked from the great broad old tree,
70f spiritual truth. i
Unquestionnbly the civilized world I
recognizes the beauty and usefulness:
of the doctrines of Jesus, regardless'
of differences of opinion as to minor2
details. The principles of the Christian "
religion are sound and clean and
wholesome, and right minded men'
‘and women in ever larger numbers
are choosing to be governed by them
as against the vague, brain-enfroglng
occultlsms and “new” doctrines prom-
ulagated by lakes and fanatics. What-
ever the hereafter may hold, right liv-
ing in this life undoubtedly is the
‘ road by which the best that is to be is
attained.
There has been a great deal of talk
in recent years in regard to the fall-
ing off of church membership in the,

THE VOLUNTEER SYSTEM.
a. success of Great Britain in
"rflngunarmy of 3000000 menin
eight months without recourse to con-
scription is the greatest triumph ever
won for the volunteer method. ”it has
a powerfully reassuring effect in this
country, and serves edeetually to quiet
the cries of the militarias.
. Volunteering is the natural method
of a free people, the method that fits
best with democracy. it is particularly
appropriate to both Great Britain and
the United States, which have always
opposed large standing armies on prin-
ciple, and relied on the free, patriotic
uprising of their citizens to meet any
emergency.
The method, of course, cannot be
universally applied. The French peo-
ple, the freest of all' great European
races, have long submitted to compul-
sory military service because of their
openness to attack. But no such dang-
er exists, even in an era of submarines
for a country walled about by the sea
and protected by battleships, Such a
country can properly continue tolleave
her citizens at their productive tasks
until the alarm sounds, instead of
maintaining the nation in arms. Net:
ther England nor the United States
will ever lack defenders. if Britain can
we can
raise twice as many.
But the fact that there is enough
patriotism to guarantee at any time
enough raw material for our defense
is no excuse for unpreparedness. Our
preparation should consist not in a
great standing army, but in an csta'b-i
llshed and perfected system for train
ing and equipping the volunteers.
in every one of our wars we have
blundered te11'ibly, There have been
plenty of men, but there have been,
miserable facilities for luring them 111.?
to soldiers. if we ever have another
war, we may have to train corps in:
stead of companies; we may need mil-
lions instead of the tens Of thousands;
that formerly suiliced To that, end, we
ought to have plans for
moillzltl 1011 d1 llllng, cquipement,
commissan worked Out almost
Germanys have been.
And at the same time, we ought to
111110 a system whereby every man in
our army that is capable of the lllghel
military instruction should he train-
recruiting,
and
as
ed fOr services as an officer in a big
war if we ever have one, officers will:
be the using need, as they are now.
in England and Russia And it should
be possible to have ready enoug ll of-
liters for 1111 army of at least 1,000,000
men, without adding at all to the size":
of our standing army, and without ad- .
ding much to the cost of the service.‘
The war department is at work now
on some such plan. There is no ling-'
oism in the idea. uo militarism. it is
simply a question of making the best
use of the money and material avail-
able under our established policy, with
a view to meeting future contingen-
cies promptly and efficiently.

A NAVAL HERO.
Germany. despite the general fail.
ure of her sea power, has produced
more naval heroes in this war than
Great Britain. Chief among them is
Capt Weddigen, who won fame as
commander of the submarine U- 19 and
the report. of whose death has been
cerloborated by the German Admiral-
w.
it was Capt Weddigen who first de—
monstrated to the world the full nos--
sibilitles of the submarine in modern .
warfare. Up to the beginning of the
present war, the undersea boat was ‘
merely an experiment. The sinking by
Capt. Weidlgen, single-handed, of the
British cruisers Hogue, Cressy and
Aboukir opened a new epoch in naval
history, It demonstrated that this tiny
craft might fight a big warship, or
even a. 'smnllfleet of warships. The
lessen was further driven home when
Capt. Weddigen soak the British 111-111-
ser Hawks. In the end he himselft was
sunk, as he expected to be, and as al-’
most every sailor must be who con-
tinues longvin this most dangerous .
branch of the service. His career was
short, but he had done his 110111..-

The regular meeting of the Norwalk
bird Club, for April, has been omitted
out of respect to the memory of Miss

i been held. Miss Ferry was an ardent

1 especially attractive to birds by num-
erous feeding places, baths, and rest-
ing boxes, so that there was always an
unusually large number of birds of
many varieties about, her home. Miss

The ,German submarine "U-28,” ac

tures to her credit at this point, al-
though she has not yet succeeded in
getting any of the fast mall or rail-
way pocket boats. Their speed is
superior and they vary their course
on each trip so as to make it impos-
sible for the submarine to lie in wait
along the line.
~. The following description of the
pursuit of one of the railway steam-
ers is published here:
“The ship was pounding along at
twelve knots, when suddenly there
was a flash of sunlight on the sur-

away, and the lookout culled sharply.
‘Submarine on the port bow.’
“There was a sharp command to
the man at the wheel and the ship
changed her course. Then a quick
call down the tube and the engineer
sang out to his stokers, 'Beat her up

“Down the stokehold tumbled the

("AIRO, April 11—(Correspondence
of The Associated Press.) Nearly a
thousand Turkish prisoners taken by
the British troops in the fighting
along the Suez Canal are interned
at Tours. in buildings‘ which were

There are twelve Turkish officers
who are separated from the rank and

around their quarters. They have a

in British otficers' quarters. and bath
rooms. Papers and books in Arabic
are supplied-them regularly, and most
of them purchased new clothing out
of money advanced for this purpose.
These officers draw half the regular
pay of their rank from the British
paymasters, although their pay from
their own Treasury is said to be sev-

“I arrived home late in the even
