EVOLUTION THEORY
Evangelist Attacks Cardinal
Principle of Modern Science
in Sermon.
Darwin's theory of evolution was as
sailed by "Billy" Sunday in his sermon
at tho tnbernaclo this afternoon before an
audience of muny thousands. The evan
gelist said the spiritual side of man
"knocks that doctrlno In the head." Ho
added, however, that It was possible for
man to fall back Into the animal stage if
lie forsakes the realm of the spiritual
and of leligion.
"Billy" preached ojie of his most dra
matic sermons on "The (Man Without a
Soul." Whllo admitting that every man
hns a soul, no matterhow low he might
be ho declared his belief that many per
sons who continually neglect to ombraco
Christ as their personal Saviour nnd to
llvo decent lives come very near to tho
animals who are without souls. Ho said
that the spiritual side of man was the
only tiling that separated him from the

Sunday took no Bib I en I text for his

of tlio llfo of Philip Nolan, "Tho Man

The great thiong held Us breath ns it

which he was kept away from his fellows.

Threo more enses of measles among
future supemomen of the Bryn Mawr

School developed today and tho famous
Institution hns been closed Indefinitely.
It will not bo reopenod until phy
sicians watching the 30 other little girls
of the school are assured that they will
not develop this malady of childhood.
Life In tho open failed to prevent the
spread of measles among tho children.
Two of them became 111 yesterday. At
first the school authorities refused to be
llevo it was measles, but physicians "who
wero called In had no qualms, nnd their
diagnosis resulted in the school being
closed.
The five patients, nil of whom are nt
their Main Line homes, are I'amola
Coyne, Betsy Van Pelt, Janice Nlles, Ellen
B. Lloyd and Elizabeth White. None is
in a serious condition.
The supenyoman school was established
at Bryn Mawr about two years ago. The
course Is one of Hcven years, and when
a child completes It she Is expected to
be a superwoman. There are no Indoor
classrooms. The children study 111 open
pavilions, clad like Esquimaux, and have
alternate hours for play, study, sleeping
and eating. Naps and luncheons come
along under the system with equal fre
quency, and there Is no home study.
When the pupils get through their work
In the afternoon they forget all about

HEALTH BUREAU PLANS
"BABY FARM" RAID
Prompted by Exposure of Piti
able Conditions at Bethel
Home.
A wholesale raid on 25 so-called "baby
farms" in nnd around Philadelphia, to
follow in quick succession upon that
made yesterday on the Bethel Home,
Beech and Elm streets, when William and
Emma Chichester, tho managers, wero
arrested and 31 children, many of their.
Infants In arms, temoved fiom the In
stitution, has been planned by the Bureau
of Health. The bureau has hnd Investi
gators working quietly for tho last four
months gathering evidence.
According to Dr. Lincoln C. Furbush,
who was Instrumental In tho doing away
with the Bethel Home, almost un
believably revolting conditions have been
revealed by these inspections.
"Thero are at least 23 of these place j
which will have to be wiped out," Bald
ho this morning. "They are Institution
simply tilled with youngsters In the most
deplorable condition. 111, under-nourished,
scantily clad, neglected children, living
In nil atmosphere that In many cases is
improper morally. They haven't half a
cnance, ami we feel that tho entire city
Is In back of us In our ttght to ameliorate
their plight.
CHILDREN IN PITIABLE STATE.
"It has been not unusual for our In
vestigators," continued Doctor Furbush,
"to find children contaminated with the
most loathesome diseases, and to have
been subjected to experiences scarcely
printable. In many cases, of course, the
insanitary conditions, over-crowding nnd
lack of proper food are due to Ignorance
on the part of the managers, but all this
will have to be remedied."
yesterday the children taken from the
Bethel Home were found to bo In a most
pitiable condition. The entire 31 had been
sleeping In two rooms, the walls of which
were covered with mildew. Their clothes
and bodies were tilled with vermin, and
many of them were Infected with serious
skin diseases,
LITTLE PAID ON BOARD,
The parents of the children placed In the
homo are working people who were sup
posect to pay from Jl.M to V tor their
support, but In many cases It was found
that nothing was being contributed. The
scant fare provided was barely enough
for u bIM to subsist on, according to the
InvestlgaTbfs' report,
Clyde O. Durgan, an agent for the So
ciety for Ihe Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, testified that In the case of an
Illegitimate child the mother came to the
home and remained theie two or three
weeks. After that sho disappeared and
her family usually made arrangements to
pay f: for the baby's upkeep. No record
of Ith parentage, however, was ever made.
A three-months-old baby, pale and
anemic according to the testimony, was
put to bed In a basket of ftltlu rags, and
another youngster had been sent to bed,
for a week as a punishment
The ChlchesUrs have been conducting

SUBMARINE RAMMED
AND SUNK IN CHANNEL
BY MERCHANT VESSEL
Captain of British Ship
Alston Reports Sending
1 German Craft to Bottom.
U-8 Victim of English
Destroyer.
LONDON, March l.
Another German submarine has been
sunk, nccordlng to lnfnrmntion brought
to West Hnrtlcpool today. Tho owners
of tho British steamer Alston announce
that the captain of tho ship reported to
them thnt ho hnd sunk a German sub
marine In English Channel last Sat
urday If tlio report of tho captain of the Al
ston Is true, this makes the second Ger
man submailnc sunk by a merchant ship,
tho British Admiralty having accepted tho
claims of tho captain of the Thordls that
his vessel rammed and sank a submarlnt
In tho channel.
Thero was wild rejoicing throughout
England today when tho iiowb was flashed
to all parts of tho United Kingdom that
the Gel man submarine U-8 had been sunk
In the English Channel. Although It had
trccn icportcd that from two to six Ger
man submarines had been destroyed, the
landing of the crew of tho U-8 at Dover
wns the first tangible evidence that any
German undersea boat had been sunk.
When the first news of tho loss of the
U-S wns received from Paris, whoro It had
been announced by tho French Ministry
of Marine, there wns a feeling of deep 10
giut that the submarine had not been at
tacked und sunk by an English vessel.
This feeling Inter turned to Joy when tho
British Admiralty announced that It was
a British torpedoboat destroyer which had
sent tho U-S to the bottom.
Tho acceptance by tho Admiralty of
tho claim of Captain Bell, of tho steamer
Thordls, that ills ship rammed and sank
n German submarine In tho 'English
Chunnol off Beachy Head has convinced
the public that two German submarines
now rest beneath British waters.
Late in February wreckage, flupposed
to bo from a submailne, was picked up ott
Christlnnsand, Norway. About tho same
time1- It was reported that the U-16 hnd
been sunk after making an unsuccessful
atack upon the cross-channel steamer
Victoria.
Tho arrival of the crew of the subma
rine U-8 in England brings to a climax
tile controversy led by Lord Charles
Bcicsford over whether or not such pris
oners shall bo treated and tried as plr
ntps. Lord Charles has strongly advocated
such action because of tlio nature of the
Get man submarine warfare against Eng
lish shipping.
Tho officers and members of the crow of
U-S nre being detained In Dover Castle.
It had been said that tho U-S was sunk
yesterday morning, but the German sea
men declare that the vessel was not at
tacked nnd sunk until inst night. They
declared that two shots were fired at
tho U-S; the first missed, but the second
damaged the submarine to such an oxtent
that sho hod to bo abandoned. The U-8
was one of the finest underwater boats
In the Germany navy.
