of written agreements with General Scott,

Anxiety of officials over the bordef

reports of tho shelving of Maytorcna)
His demotion under General Cabral, lt
Is declared, was due to peremptory de
mands of this government.
Official confirmation was lacking of re
ports that Villa had arrested Provisional
President Gutierrez. Credence was not
given to tho rumor.

TOO MUCH CLAPPING
IN THE TABERNALE,
BISHOP BERRY SMS
Expects "Billy" Sunday to
Use Fewer Extravagances
of Speech Than He Did
Yesterday.
By BISHOP JOSEPH P. BERRY
Of tht Mtthodltt Episcopal Church.
The first day's meetings at the taber
nacle were highly successful. The al
tendance was great. The crowd was
handled skillfully, and with the minimum
of friction.
As I anticipated, the building has at
ready proved too amall. Mr. Sunday's
voice reached the uttermost corners and
was heard by practically everybody. The
singing of the chorus was especially fine.
The room Is too large for solos and duets,
nnd I hope they may not often be at
tempted. Two thing marked the meetings yes
terday. First there was the use ot
cameras. That was out of place on
Sunday, and should not be permitted.
It commercialised and desecrated the
Holy Day. Besides tho uso of the flash
lights filled the room with smoke and
started many persons coughing. Tho
other objectionable thing was the Inces
sant clapping of hands by a few thought
less persons.
A spontaneous burst ot npplause In
approval of some strong and stlrrlngpas
sage In the sermon Is not objoctlonable,
but the constant clapping of hands be
comes meaningless and tiresome. Bo
sides, It takes time which belongs to tho
speaker.
Mr. Sunday was at his best yester
day. I do not mean that he gave us three
of hlB best sermons, for he did not. Com
pared with what Is coming the sermons
were not great. But they wore the kind
of sermons he always delivers during the
first week of his meeting. He got In
moro extravagances of speech In three
minutes yesterday than he will employ
In n,' whole ECrinon later on. You wlll
not 'hear the evangelist at his best for
ten days yet. As I have often said,
Judged by all the acceptcdv standards of
real pulpit power, William A. Sunday Is
a mighty Gospel preacher. Those who
were present yesterday were stirred by
the sparkle and pathos and dramatic ac
tion of the speaker, but later tho throngs
will be melted nnd moved by sermons
that will appeal Irresistibly to both In
tellect and heart.
It Is already clear that the peopla ot
our city will need to take "turns" In at
tending tho' meetings. If the same peo
ple go every time, and go early enough
to secure seats, many others will not hear
the evangelist at all.
After this week, tho members of
churches ought, to & large extent, to re
main away, so as to leave room for per
sons outside the churches. Tho -campaign
Is not primarily for the bonelU of
real Christians, but tor those who ought
to become such.

end ot two days of fighting, VTo had a,
terrible lime, Thtee shells burst lit th
middle of myt section, doing terrlbts dam
age It Was vny luck, although tho young
est man there, td gather up those who re
mained and bring them In order with the
other three sections. It was for this that
I waa promoted.
One piece Ot shrapnel ripped my cap
and a bullet pierced my knapsack. The
chap behind me fell with la head blown
off, the hian beside me had his leg cut oft
And so It went through the section.
"It was horrible, that sensation, as tha
shells burst over us, choking and blinding
us with the pungent vapors of the'powder.
The cries and shrieks of the wounded set
one's nerves on edge. "
We commenced fighting at I o'closk In
the morning, after having marched In a
thick mud and a fine, cold ralh from 1
o'clock. That night after the battle we
marched IS kilometers to bivouac In tha
open In an Intenso cold. We spent the
night shivering.
The next morning we set out at S
o'clock. But we had to pass . the day
lying flat on the ground In a field, because
of the heavy bombardment by the en
emy's guns. We stayed there from 10
o'clock In tha morning until 10 at night,
without anything to eat. Then we
marched on. For five hours we stumbled
along. Finally we rested In a warm barn.
We were nearly deid, we were so tired.
It was then that I was told I had been
made corporal. It Is a great honor, but
It means moro work, for I must occupy
myself with the nourishment and care ot
my men.
