ITALY AND RUMANIA ALERT
AS ALLIES' FLEET PRESSES ON
Neutrality of Both Nations Swings in
the Balance.
nOJIC, march C Interest In the
methodic progress of the Allies toward
Constantinople continues unabated In
Italy and nlso In Rumania.
From tho latter country comes tele
graphic Information denoting the eager
concern with which further undefined and
disconcerting surprises on tho part of
tho Allies In the Near East aro appre
hended In Bucharest.
Tho Independent Itnllnn press and the
ofllclal organs are almost unanimous In
holding that tho motives which hereto
fore havo hindered Italy from overstep
ping tho limits of her neutrality havo
been profoundly modified by tho Anglo
French expedition against Turkey and
by tho outspoken corollaries which will
necessarily flow from that source.
They express confldcnco that the Cab
inet will so regulate Its attitude as to
bring It into harmony with this new
factor nnd see that Italy loses nothing
by the change In tho situation.

Dr. George H. Toop Preaches Lenten
Sermon on Faith.

Apostles, made a plea for a rigid self
examination on the part of Christians
today, at the noonday Lenton services In

Doctor Toop drew a comparison between
the loss of faith followed by the loss of
his strength by Samson and Christians
losing their faith. He said that Samson
did not know tjiat when ho had cast God
out of his mind hla strength was gone.
In tho same manner, he said, many
Christians lose faith and. In forgetting
the fundamentals of religion, forget that
all things come from God.

JERSEY METHODISTS
HEAR STOKES PLEA
FOR WORLD'S PEACE
Ex-Governor Tells Confer
ence Europe Is Paying
Penalty for Long Contin
ued Preparation for War.
ATLANTIC CITV, March 6.-Bxpulalon
of the rum trnlllc from New Jersey and
the preservation of neutrality with rela
tion lo the warring nations abroad en
grossed the attention of tho New Jersey
Methodist F.plscopnl Conference here to
day. Conference, for tho flrst time, since.
It convened early In the week, went into
executive session to pass upon the char
acters of candidates for orders, tho ex
amination of whom was concluded jes
tcrday. An hour of the morning session was
dcVol"d to nn nddress on peaco by ox
Governor lCdvvard C. Stokes, presented by
Bishop Thomas U. Neely, of Philadel
phia, ns a candidate to the denomina
tion. "I am a neutral, but I know which
side I want lo win," said the Vcncrabfo
churchman. "But I'm not going to In
dicate that side."
Battleships and cruisers aro t'no police
men of the sea nnd I take no exception
to tho Hlnud of our friends who tell us
thev nre necessary lo the preservation
of our commerce," ex-Governor Stokes
said. "Uuropenn nations spent 53 times
the cost of tho Panama Canal In their
preparations for war.
"The true peace movement will bring Us
"Hilly" Sunday life. He Is a splehdld
llvlng, consecrated man of God. Ho Isn't
lazy. "Billy" Sunday works, Kvery word
he utters ho cither puts his foot or his
hands In It. Ho Is n type of the good old
Methodist evangelist."
Tho ex-Governor Insisted that prayers
for peace nic a mockory as long as this
country permits war materials to be sent
to Huropp and Mexico. He said tho
nations of Europe are suffering a pltlablo
punishment.
"Nor are we beyond criticism," Mr.
Stokes continued. "Wo havo permitted
anarchy to piovall In Mexico and told
our own people that tho protection ot our
flag docs not extend beyond the border.
War Is just us wicked In Mexico aa It Is
In Europe, and our cold-blooded attitude
of indifference Is not Justified in Holy
Writ."
Tho spenknr said capital could stop
wnr and praised President Wilson for
i ef using to sanction a war loan.
"The other day." ho added, "I saw
Carnegie In his library nnd told him
ho would not countenance tho hend of
tho white slavo trnlllc, buv he would take
by tho hand nnd treat as an equal Krupp,
who manufactures Implements to be
used only for human slaughter, and ho
did not deny It. What we must do Is
to Chrlstlanlzo patriotism."
The 30J pastors and their followers here
are still "up In the air" na to the pur
poses of Bishop Henderson and his
cabinet In respect to pulpit assignments.
So far ns could be learned, there is as
yet no agreement upon the Identity of
the two district superintendents to be
named.
