"When you pray 'Thy Kingdom Come'
that means to want the kingdom
of this world to become the kingdom of
our Lord, no matter what It costs, what
self-denial, what hard work, what sacri

that we want the Bible translated Into
every tongue; It means to have churches
and gchoolhouses everywhere: It means
not to shirk out share In the burden of
work and expenses.
"Jaaua never taught anybody to pray
for the salvation of men who could be
measured by the number of square miles
that they covered. The people of the
United States cannot pray 'Thy Kingdom
Come' In the land bordered on the north
by Canada and British Columbia, on the
south by Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico,
on the east by the AUantlo Ocean and on
the west by the Pacific Ocean. No. We
pray for nobody unlet we pray for every

to pray 'that It will keep coming as loner

SUFFRAGIST SPEAKS
TO GREAT CROWD ON
P0ST0FFICE PLAZA
Miss Potter Calls on Penn
sylvanians to "Come in
on Band Wagon Instead
of on Hearse" at Opening
of Spring Campaign.
Womnn suffrage fired tho first gun of
Ita spring campaign today when an out
door meeting under tho auspices nf tho
JJqunl Franchise Society of Philadelphia
attracted several hundred persons to tho
Postofllce plnzn, Oth and Chestnut streets.
Tho crowd overflowed Into tho street and
mounted policemen had difficulty In keep
ing It within bounds.
Miss Adella Potter, of Diooklyn, or
ganizer for tho First Division of the
Womnn Suffrage Party, spoke from the
automobllo of Miss Mary A. Burnhnm.
In leply to a question by a. serious
minded man she declared that It was un
falr to nsk women how they will vote
before giving them the vote. Men who
reach their majority, sho said, tiro not
requlrcdto, state, their intentions before
being given tho ballot. .
"Vou men of Pennsylvania want your
State tp come in on the bandwagon of
tho suffiage question," bhe said. "Un
less you give your wives, mothers nnd
sisters the vote you will como In on tho
hearse. The election next fall will givo
you your last chance for flvo years, and
I know that Pennsylvania has never yet
como in on tho hearse w"hcn big issues
were nt stake.
"It Is ridiculous that women should

but thero is no help for It. To those
who say mat women snouui loimw men

Wo havo only two courses left to sit
bnck and allow our Legislature! to con

Miss Potter traced the good which has
lesulted from woman suffrage and dis
played a map showing the States where
women vote.
"Wo aro lighting for the same piluclples
for which our forefathers died 1SS years
ngo,." sho continued. "They and tho gov
ernment they gavo us wero stamped ns
radical. Today wo aro told that suffrage
Is too radical. They solved tho question
of tho right of kings, but they did not

LONDON. Mnrch 10.
A German submnrlne wns rammed and
sunk today by the British torpedoboat de
stroyer Ariel. The crew of tho submarine
surrendered.
Ofllclal announcement of the sinking
of tho submarine wns Issued by the Of
ficinl Pices bureau this afternoon. Its
stntcment was as follows:
"Tho Admiralty announces that n Ger
man submarine was .rammed today by tho
Ariel. Tho submarlno sank. Its crew
surrendered."
Tho submarine was tho U-20, it is an
nounced. This was a vessel of tho eamo
type ns tho famous U-10 and U-2I. Sho
was of K0 tons displacement nnd had
four torpedo tubes, with nn auxiliary
armament of one 14-poundor and two one
pounder high angle guns. Her cruising
radius was 2000 miles. Tho U-20 was com
pleted slnco tho beginning of tho war.
This l the second German submarlno
sent to the bottom by a British destroyer
within a week. Tho U-8 was sunk In tho
English Channel on March 4.
After n brief lull, tho activities of Ger
man submarines against British merchant
shipping hno been renewed with great
vigor. Three British ships have been sunk
In the last SO hours nnd another was
chased, but mannsed to escape owing to
superior speed and seamanship. The sink
ing of the three vessels at widely distant
points shows that the British Isles are
practically encircled by hostile under
water boats.
Tho Tnnglstan, whose destruction cost
the lives of 37 men, was sunk off Scar
borough In tho North Sea; the Blackwood
was attacked and sunk In the English
Channel off Hastings; tho Princess Vic
toria was torpedoed and destroyed oft

dered Man Tells of Relations
With Accused Woman.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.. March 10. - For
the first time Mrn. Helen M. Angle, on
trial here for manslaughter In connection
with tho death of Waldo R. Ballou nt
Stamford, was pictured today as tho
sweetheart of the aged man whoso body
was found on tho sidewalk In front of her
npnrtment.
E. P. Durnsey, manager of the Spring
Water Company at Stamford, of iVhlch
Ballon was it director, took the stand and
relnted how he hnd often seen Mrs. Angle
and Ballou together on the street and In
cafes. He told, too, of how he had talked
with Mrs. AnglM about her marrying;
Ballou.
"One time I asked her," he said, "why
sho didn't put the old gentleman out of
his misery and marry him.
" 'There Is no reason why I should
marry him,' she answered."
Durnaoy wns grilled by Mrs. Angle's at
torney on this assertion, but ho stated
he was 'positive thnt ho quoted her cor
rectly. Ballou occupied a room In Durnnoy's
house. Durnsey swore that op the night
Ballou met his denth 2Irs. Angle called "
Hdlou up.
He siiid he lecognlzed Mrs. Angle's 'olce, ., '
because sho had called po frequently
Ho stated he did not hear the conver
sation. Mrs. Angle called him on the telephone
after Bhe had been released on bail fol
lowing Ballou'w death, Durnsey swore.
He asserted she asked him If ho thought
sho had killed Ballon.
' 'I don't know,' I told her. 'I don't
like tho way you dragged him Into the
street to die liko a dog.' "
Other witnesses wero Introduced to
piove that Ballon had bought a quart of
wlno on the night he was last alive.
Mrs. Atigln maintained the remarkable
complacency and steadiness that hai.
characterized her through the trial so
far, and exhibited a keen Interest In the
efforts at the State to prove that she
made clumsy attempts to wash sway the
crlmtion stains leading to her apart
inent.
Testimony taken late yesterday, re
garded us extremely damaging to the
defense, had not shaken her. She ex
hibited nervousness, however, when De
tective Thomas Foley and City Engineer
Parsons testified there were damp stains
about th" crimson footprints. Foley
added there were also damp stains around
the push buttons which control the hall
lights.
The Kenaingtonlan Says:
Rule Reynolds has gone in the soap
business and we expect As will ciot tij
things soon.
