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. Two days ago Bradley
was slightly Injured when be fell 4own
-, flight of steps from the choir oft.
Sundays face brightened when he saw
bis old friend holding up his hand in
float of the platform.
"Hello, Bradley!" he shouted. "Come
en. Brad! God bless you, old scout."
Bradley's eyes were, dimmed With tears.
Awl, he looked into the perspiring face
f ijto old friend, he answered:

PETROORAD, Jan 25.
Dismemberment of tho Autrn-ilun-garlan
Empire will be tho pennlty if that
nation is defeated In the present war, It
was openly stated In nn officially in
spired article In tho Uotlrso Oazctto to
day. Aflpr referring to reports that Rus
sia may conclude n sepnrato penco with
Austria or Hungary us being "rumors
without any foundation." the tlourse Gn
zettn continued:
"Peace may be made only after com
plete and final victory over 'Germanism.'
Only In that event can enduring Iran
nulllltj, prevail in Kurope. This result
could actually he obtained now, but for
Its attainment It would be necessary to
sacrlllce 200, CM) or 300,000 lives, Rather
than bring about such slaughter tho Gov
ernment, fully nssured or victory for our
aims, thinks it belter that tho war bo
prolonged.
"A separate pence with Auitro-Hun-gary,
or even Hungary itself Is practi
cally impossible. To obtain real peace It
will be necessary for the Mnpsburg Mon
archy to acknowledge Itself defeated, but
even In this event considerations which
would 'nave to bo affected would hardlv
bo acceptable to It. The Dual Monarchy
would net only have to consider our de
mands, hut thoso of Servln nnd Monte
negro also as well as the demands of tho
Slavs within Austro-lluuguty. Satisfac
tion to all of these would mean completa
dismemberment.
"Moreover, there Is little ground for
anticipating a separate peace with llun
gnry, which could only be oblalncd at
the price of the detachment of the Crown
of St. Stephen from Austria The first
fundamental condition of such a peaco
would be our demand and tl at of our nl
'' that Ilunwy, br-ltvj sepnintcd fiom
Germany, should not only abandon Ger
man Influence, but should become an nl'y
of Russia, England and Fiance. It Is
hardly likely to suppose that the Hun
garians would agree to such a demand,
which would force them to begin nn
armed Btruggle against Austria."

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.

THE EVENING LEDGER Pto any
WEARS THE BUTTON Bcr,ous r
suits. 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.
EXACTING PRICE OF PLACE
Heavy Assessment of Officeholders to
Pay Deficit of Penrose Campaign.
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.
While deficits follow nearly every elec
tion, officers of the State committee point
wU uw mo iigure is unusually high this
year because during the campaign Jt was
found necessary to go out Into the rural
districts of the State and finance the
campaigns of the county organizations,
It is reported that a flat 3 per cent, as
sessment has been levied on all place
holders. This added to the contributions
made during the campaign, many of the
small ofllceholders say, Is unjust, With
the large list of places to be filled within
the next few weeks, tho Organization is
confident, however, that theie will be no
open opposition, and that the money will
be talsed promptly.
