kcon (o more than ,000 men and women

'Faith." and ho made It plain that In his

enough and did not pray enough to as

the Almighty.

Jubilant and spoke to himself:

Afternoon Sermon
Ood has forcordatnetl that vou no
to heaven If joit ropenl. Ue has
foreordained that you go to hell if
yon don't; so do your own voting.
The church of Ood today ought to
nana Its head in shame and disgrace
to think that there is so little faith
In Ood.
The biggest farce of the average
church is the piayer meeting.
Every age has got to tccatt Its
vocabulary to preach the Gospel to
the people. t preach the
Qospcl In the language of today.
Lots of prayers arc rigmarole.
You have not Ood In your mind
when you pray.
If you go to Ood icllhout faith
you insult Him Instead of honoring
Him.
Don't ever swell tfp with pride
and think that your intellectual de
velopment is sucli that you can un
derstand everything there Is in the
Bible.
Without faith there is no love.
Without faith the family goes to
pieces.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. The most
powerful machinery In the country the
liquor party, with Its arms reaching Into
both parties Is now being exerted to
prevent an Investigation by the Senate
into the campaign expenses for tho
United States Senato from Pennsylvania
and Illinois. Tho activity of the liqupr
men Is becoming more apparent overy
day, and It Is the belief of those who
know Its power that It will throttle an
Investigation Into tho money expendod
by Senator Penrose and tha liquor men
In the primary and subsequent campaigns.
The reason for the opposition of the
liquor element Is that If this Investiga
tion Is started It will Involve the liquor
Interests of the country In the greatest
scandal and expose its operations In dif
ferent States In the Union.
Appreciating the strength of the liquor
party, Representative A, Mitchell Palmer
said today ho was not confident that the
Investigation demanded by him would bo
sanctioned by the Senate Committee of
Elections and Privileges, of which Sen
ator Kern, the majority leader of the
Senate, Is the chairman. Ho said ho bad
presented to the committee enough evl'
dence to warrant the Inquiry and had
done his duty. It now rests with the
Democrats Senate to complete the ex
pose for which Mr, Palmer has laid the,

The French advance into Alsace

from Altkirch, and Paris believes that
the capture, of that important rail
way centre is now but a question of
hours. Nevertheless, the forward
movement, the official communique

that have turned the Alsatian roads

OF GERMAN PROTEST
ON USB OF DUMDUMS
Neutrality forbids Investiga

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7r-Charges 1y the
German Government that United States
manufacturers were supplying" 'dumdum
bullets to Qreat Britain will not be In'.
vcstlgated by this Government, secre
tary Bfyan today formally notified Count
von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador,
that the United States, adhering to Its
policy of complete neutrality, could not
uudortako an Investigation Into tho ques
tion. Tho Ambassador, on behalf of tho Ber
lin Government, twice submitted written
protests ami alleged samples of tho bul
lets picked up on the battlefields, of Eu
rope. It waa charged the missiles wero
tired from tho British trenches.
President Wilson, Bryan stated In hla
note, will ubo his Influence to prevent,
as far as possible, the sato of dumdum
bullets or othor objectionable ammuni
tion to belligerent countries whenever
evidence can be lirpught that American
manufacturers Intend selling such am
munition. In tho note to the German Govern
ment was included the substance of "vol
untary" replies from American arms and
ammunition manufacturers denying em
phatically tha charges brought by the
German Government thnt they had sold
dumdums to the British.
"I can assure 'your excellency," said
Bryan's note, "that I nm not unmindful
of the spirit In which you bring to the at
tention of this department the Improper
practices which aro alleged to hava oc
curred In the conduct of the present
war. But while this Government may
take these statements and charges under
consideration, It is. In Its effort to main
tain strict neutrality In the present con
flict, obliged to refrain from investigat
ing their truhtfulness or making any
comment lit regard to them, The time
will come, however, when the truth may
be Impartially determined and when the
Judgment of the world will be passed
upon the charges of the various belliger
ents of violations of civilized warfare,
"Your Excellency also states that tha
British Government has ordered from tho,
Winchester Repeating Arms Company
20,000 riot guns and M,000,000 buckshot
cartridges for Use In such guns. This
department saw a published statement of
the Winchester Company, the correctness
of which the company has, confirmed to
tha Department by telegraph. In this
statement the company categorically de
nies that It has received an order for
such guns and cartridges from, or made
any sales of such materials to, the Brit
ish Government, or to any other Govern
ment engaged In the present -war
"Your Excellency further calls attention
to 'Information, the accuracy of -which Is
not to be doubted,' that 8,000.000 cartridges
fitted with mushroom bullets have been
delivered since October of this year by
the Union Metalllo Cartridge Company
for the armament of tha English army
"In reply I have the honor to refer to
the letter of December 10, 1914, of the
Remington Anns-Union Metallic, Cart
ridge Company, of New York. It states
tl-nt Instead of the 8,000,000 cartridges
having beep sold, only a little over ltf.OuQ
soft-nosed bullets were manufactured and
100,000 were sold. These cartridges were
made to supply a demand for ft better
sporting; cartridge with a soft nose bul
let, and the letter states that such cart
ridges cannot be used In the military
rifles of any Foreign Power Of th.eso
only SCO cartridges went to British North
Amrlca and 100 to British East Africa.
"If. lipwever. you can furnish the de
partment with evidence that this or any
other company are manufacturing and
selling for the use of the contending
armies In Europe cartridges whose use
would contravene The Hague conven
tions, the Government would be glad
to be furnished with the evidence, and
