HAPSBURG DOMAIN TO BE DISMEMBERED IF RUSSIA TRIUMPHS Inspired Article in Petrograd Journal Forecasts Disinte gration After Victory Over oermanism. ELECTRIC CARS HERE FOR USE ON PENNSYLVANIA MAIN LINE CHILDREN PROMISE SUNDAY TO BE GOOD Continued from rare One ing from a prominent member of tho Catholic Church In Brooklyn. The article taken from a paper published by n Brooklyn parish, characterizes Doctor Eliot "the most dangerous teacher In America today." The letter follows: "The Rev. William A. Sunday: "Dear Sir Pormlt me to inclose a pamphlet with a marked article 'Billy Sunday and his Critics The Nativity Mentor Is published monthly In a Brook lyn Roman Catholic parish. Father Bel ford, pastor, writes most of the articles By the forceful character of all tho items discussed In the number Inclosed I should surmise that his pen Is responsible for tho entire publication for January. "I am a Roman athollc myself, but have n deep Interest In the revival In Philadelphia. Have read all your ser mons up to date and find then very profitable, indeed, at a time, when to be lleye and to live In fear of hell Is to merit the supercilious condescensions of pscudo scientists educated through the columns of fool magazines and dally 'yellows,' "Ood bless you, roverend sir, nnd may your work continue to prosper and foster with Increasing, abundance the units of that army which one day must stand - Armageddon". "With profound respects ., , . "M- J- G- BIMGGS." The article Is as follows: "Great news comes from Philadelphia. 'Billy Sunday Is there, to use his own terms, 'knocking hell out of the devil.' Ills efforts do not meet with the approval of some Unitarian ministers. They think 'Billy's language is undignified. Tiiey do not like his gestures. They condemn his whole attltudo and manner. But JO.COO people crowded In Billy's' taber nacle three times last Sunday, and every day 40,000 listen to him wltn reverent attention. " 'By their fruits ye shall know them.' eald our Lord. Judge 'Billy' by his re sults. He has brought back to a more or less religious life thousands in the various cities In which he has held re vivals, and 'ne has made sober men out of a multitude of more or leBs confirmed drunkards. "This no one can deny. In a word. "Billy" Sunday has done mora than all his critics to make men live right. They tell us that converts do not stick. Many of them do not, but all of them get out of the sllmo and filth of a vicious life for a little while, anyway. They learn that they can control their passions, and, whllo they may relapse, there Is always hope that their better nature will pre vail. "One Unitarian clergyman says Sunday destroys tho respectability of Christian ity! What have the Unitarians done to u-nnsuamtyr They have made Christ u liar! They make his church a new school of thought. They are bringing their great prophet. Doctor Eliot, to Philadelphia to be an antidote to 'Billy' Sunday. Why, Eliot has dono more harm to religion In the United States than all the rumshops and dancehalls put to gether. It Is not tho Ignorant scoundrel who works havoc. He may do hann to a few. Ho may ruin a small circle; but the educated, well-trained villain leads thousands into error and unbeliefs and Intellectual rebellion, "Give us 'Billy' Sunday with his crude style and his honesty lather than the cul tured Doctor Eliot with his re II nod man ner and egotistic doctrines, 'Billy' Sun day believes In a, personal God and he tries to serve him. Doctor Eliot believes In himself and he seeks only his own elory. Really the most fatuous leader, the most dangerous teacher In America today Is this same ancient, but narrow and cock-fture ex-president of Harvard University. For thousands ho has de throned the Lord of glory and In Ills place set up a mere man whom he clothes with divine wisdom and endows with In fallibility. In their worship he Is happy and they fall to see his folly." BRADLET "HITS THE TRAIL," "BUly" was made hf-ppy last night when Policeman George W. Bradley, of the JSth and York streets station, "hit the trail." Bradley Is the bluecoat who played baseball with Sunday, and who greets him upon his arrival at the taber nacle, each day.

"Hello, Bradley!" he shouted. "Come en. Brad! God bless you, old scout." Bradley's eyes were, dimmed With tears.

DOGS TRAINED BY FRENCH TO SERVE AS MESSENGERS Intelligent Airedales Carry Dis patches From French to French. PATHS, Jan. 27. Dogs are doing an Im mense service with the French army ns messengers. And It all came about by pure chance. When war broko out there was not a single dog messenger In tho French army, though the Paris police had used them to advantage. But after the Germans Invaded France and countless villages were devastated, thousands of dogs found themselves homeless. Many were picked up as company mascots. In their spare time the men amused themselves by leaching the dogs to carry knapsacks, canteens and finally mes sages from one trench to another. The dogs pot only had an absolute disregard for gun and rllle Are, but offered an In significant target. Then commanders awoke to their value. Hundreds were "educated" by a special army branch of the Institute of Zoolog ical Psychology under T. Hachet-Souplet. The dogs have been taught to hide be hind trees upon the approach of human beings. They know tho difference be tween a French and German uniform. They glide noiselessly through underbrush and In carrying messages always choose woods, ditches and dry creek beds in preference to open roads, where they might be potted by sharpshooters. Theln hearing Is remarkably developed and It Is seldom they fall Jnto the hands of the enemy, wosi or mem are Airedales.

A pamphlet, Issued over the mime of D. E. Dallam, a real estate operator with ofllccs at 51 h and Walnut streets, was declared bj Director Taylor to bo a "red herring," and he snld Mr. Dallam was actuated by ulterior motives In stirring up dissatisfaction among stockholders or tho company. Ho declared Mr. Dallam suggested plans which would bilng the subway In tho vicinity of his place of business, and that, as a confidential agent, Jlr. Dallam had gained considerable knowledge o" transportation matters, par ticularly with regard to tho purchase of real estate. , Tho pamphlet, for which Mr. Dallam Is sponsor. Is receiving wide circulation iimong Itapld Transit stockholders. It says t'nero Is no Immediate necessity for tho incurring of debt by the city when "only a small pcrccntago of tho popula tion" Is In need of better transporta tion facilities. Mr. Dallam says tho plans outlined by Director Taylor will entail a debt variously estimated at from $50, 000,000 to $100,000,000, and bases Ills ob jection to Improved transit on the belief that the returns held out are not com mensurate with such an expenditure. Director Taylor says that Mr. Dallam obtained a copy of tho transit report ftom the department on tho representa tion that ho believed It to be "ono of tho best additions to municipal hlstorj over compiled." When it was forwarded to tho real estate man he said he would "preserve It for his grandchildren." ac cording to tho Director, nnd then pro ceeded to attack It. Director Taylor gave out several let ters from Mr. Dallam yesterday. All praise tho transit report and one sug gests that "the subway should bo con tinued down to Bth street and mi to Walnut street to accommodate the In surance fraternity." In this letter tho Director was asked to have the turn made at Walnut street under the Stato House Square, which would not entail nny land damages. "It Is Interesting to note," said t'no DIreJfor, "that Mr. Dallam's ofllce is on Wafnut street, near Bth." Director Taylor said there was no ground for tho statement of Mr. Dallam to the effect that several efforts to build an elevated road wero abandoned here because thoy would not pay. Ho pointed out that a project to build nn elevated on Market street by August Belmont am not materlallzo because after worh was started completion was enjoined because of lack ot authority on tho part of tho Elevated ltallroad Company.

Republican placeholders are offering vigorous protest ngalnst tho heavy as- setsment by the Republican Stato Com- luinee to mnite up tho deficit Incurred In re-electing Boles Penrose to tho United States Senate and upholding the party organization throughout the State. The deficit this year, according to State Chair man Crow, is 02,n,62, the largest the party has ever faced.
