"BILLY" SUNDAY OPENS
TRENTON FIGHT WITH
PREPAREDNESS PLEA
Tells Great Audience He Wants
Beat Possible Army and
Navy and Biggest Bat
tleships Afloat
COLLECTION TOO SMALL
TfiENTOf. M J.. Jan. 3. "Billy" Sun-
day, tho evangelist, In opening yesterday
his seven weeks campaign ngninsi ino
forces of evil In the capital of Now Jersey
appeared as an advocate of national pre-
paredncss nnd tho wl d wlelclcr of a
verDai scourge agamsi " ""yp
"' ?' L'c.rm.?.n.?,.ye5.rlnyJ ,f,"l"CCn8,
this city were filled with a demand for
the "best possible nrmy and navy, with
llHilllllK Uliu-iuuivu vjl fciiw ,.wh". ..-.' "-
the biggest battleships afloat" ana nn
ultimatum to all who arc not undiluted
Americans In w:ord nnd deed to "beat it
back across the Atlantic."
From tho outset "Hilly" found tho
tabernacle crowd receptive and enthusi
astic. Tho first day In Trenton, ho said
last night, was one of tho best he has
ever had. And Trenton wag glad, for
tbero exists a strong desire among the
committee and the citizens to outdo Pat
erson In thn matter of attendance, "trail
hitters" and collections.
They are already boasting of a taber
nacle that In bUo Is surpassed only by
those of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. In
proportion to other cities of 100,000 popu
lation, says Trenton, It makes their
wooden revival temples look like tho
vestibules of Harlem Hats. "Billy" has
pronounced "It one fit tho finest."
In the, matter of collection, howover.
Sunday complained at the afternoon and
evening services that unless the occu
pants of the pine pews dug deeper into
their wallets durifig the next few weeks
the loO.OOO guarantee fund "won't be
raised by next Christmas.'
"The morning services found ushers re
turning the long-handled tlnpans that
Jingled to tho extent of less than $300.
Paterson, which goaded 'Billy,' never
gave less than 11000. This is tho worst of.
ferlnff t have seen In three years."
Tho ofllc:al figures for the morning
service were $297.54; for the afternoon.
IHS.t7, and evening, $508.41.
Trenton Is determined that there will
be no grounds for complaint In the future.
"Billy" says he has never been in finer
fettle. He spoke to 6000 that came to the
big wooden temple at Greenwood avenue
and Chambers street In the morning, In
spite of the most unpleasant weather
conditions. He addressed 10.000 In the aft
ernoon, and at night he had thorn almost
as sympathetic and enthusiastic as a sec
ond week tabernacle crowd, one that
taxed the auditorium to Its fullest capac
ity of 13,000.
But tho thing that won for "Billy"
the part of Trenton that spent all or part
of Sunday In the wooden templo was
his patriotic exhortations. At each serv
ice he announced that "any one who
doesn't Ilka the way we do things over
here, can beat It bnclc across the Atlan
tic. There are boats from Now York
every day! In these days be an Ameri
can or hit the trail back to Kurope."
There were cheers and whistles at that.
But they grew into a volume of sound
that almost made the foundations rock
when "Billy" shouted that he believed
tn preparedness and a big army and navy.
"I believe In preparedness with a cap
ital Pi" he- cried. "You bet your life.
Even though I'm not a Democrat, I'll
stick with President Wilson for what
ever he does. I believe in preparedness;
In having the biggest army and navy,
God organizes His armies. We have doc
tors and teachers and fire-escapes for
emergency, why not an army and navy 7
"I believe In having the best navy we
can get the biggest battleships and tor
pedoboats that spit out 150 tons of ex
plosives a second.
"The Germans said that they would
scon be In London drinking tea," he
said. "I see the Britishers are stilt suck
ing their tea unmolested. The Germans
were also going to eat their Christmas
dinner in Paris. That was two years
ago, and they are not there yet."
EVANGELIST LYON OPENS
REVIVAL IN WILMINGTON
WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. S.-Wlth an
audience that tilled the tabernacle, at 18th
street and the Boulevard, to Its capacity,
8000, tho Kov, Mllford H. Lyon yesterday
morning opened the erangellstla cam
paign which he will continue hero for a
month end which Is expected to result In

Wilmington; that It Is the duty of every
person to stand for Christ, and that the
soul 1 tb ona thing of value above all
others,
1 am. here to fight the devil, and I will

FIVE-CENT CARFARE
URGED UPON COUNCILS
Business Men's Club Calls on
New Rulers to Effect
Transit Change
Edward B. Martin, chairman of tho
Transportation Committee of tho United
Business Men's Association, today Issued
a statemont calling attention to tho fact
that January 1, the dnte set In tho ten
tative 'agreement between the city and
the Philadelphia Ilapld Transit Company
for tho abolition of 8-cont exchange
tickets In tho central business' district,
has now passed, and Philadelphia Is as
far as ever from having universal free
transfers on a 5-cent faro basis.
On behalf of the United Business Men's
Association Mr. .Martin urges prompt
action by the Incoming administration to
settle the long-pending question of the
operation of the high-speed lines now
being built and those proposed under the
new loan soon to bo floated.
Tho statement further calls attention
to a meeting of the business men tomor
row on the Adelphla Roof Garden when a
plan for tho abolition of the exchange
tickets will be considered and laid bofore
Mayor Smith and the members of the new
Councils, who have been invited.
The statement in part follows:
"January 1, 1914, has come and gone,
and Philadelphia Is still burdened In its
transit system with tho 8-cent exchange
tickets. Under the much discussed pro
gram of May 27, 1914, tho 8-cent exchango
tickets wero to have been eliminated on
January' 1. 1916, and free transfers on a
E-cent fare basis substituted at certain
Intersections of surface lines but the
program was never ratified and we are as
far as ever from a realization of free
transfers.
"True, the city has begun actual con
struction of two new high-speed lines, the
Krankford elevated and the Broad street
subway bu that does not solve the prob
lem of tho 8-cen exchange tickets any
more than the comtructlon of the Market
street subway-elevated solved it.
"Philadelphia has not yet even deter
mined how the two lines under construc
tion shall be operated.
The United Business Men's Association
of Philadelphia loyally supported the pro
gram of May 27, 1915, not only because
it meant new radial high-speed lines to
sections of the city not yet supplied with
rapid transit, but essentially because In
thus providing for the construction of new
high-speed lines It was also provided that
all sections of the city were to enjoy the
benefits thereof upon equal and equitable
terms and the 8-cent exchange tickets
were to he replaced with free transfers on
a 0-cent fare basis preliminary to the com
pletion of the new lines.
"In other words. It seemed, and still
seems, to us that the essential part of the
program lay in the plans for the operation
of ths lines when built tn the provisions
for their operation in conjunction with the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company's
present system in the provision for uni
versal free transfers between practically
all lines of the city on a E-cent fare basis.
"As there is yet no legally ratified
agreement to this effect whatsoever and
so until there is, there is no prospect for
ths elimination of the eight-cent exchange
tickets nor assurance of a general sys
tem of free transfers between the sur
face and. the new high-speed lines, the
United can surely not be accused of wast
ing tlma to lay this phase of tho situa
tion before the Incoming administration at
the earliest possible moment."

''This evolution of tho Monroe Doctrine,

the American republics Jointly," Mr.
Bryan said, "will not only Insure solid

the danger of Invasion Is decreased In

congress,
ITIoets of great aeroplanes, capable of
traveling 200 kilometers an hour, to bo

problem, he said.
Aerial development during the next few
years will be rnptd, Henor Hantos-tJUmout
declared, and ths value of aircraft In war
wilt not only be greatly enhanced, but
aeroplane will form, one of tho great
links of communication between North

points In South Ameriod will, within u. few
years, be within on or two days' journey
of New York, he prophesied.
Tho aviator went on record as seconding
tho prposal for a oloseknlt defensive at
llanos,.
Unless the American countries are pre
pared to enforce their will, with military
strength as the last resort, they cannot
hope to enforce the principles of arbitra
tion. Robert Ludlow Fowler, of New York,
declared today before tho nembers of the
Pan-American Uslentlflo Congress.
In a veiled reference to the United
States, Mr. Fowler said, "A rich lethargic,
commercial nation, nucessarlly regardful
of self-interest. Is, when unarmed for
conflict, In no position whatever to pose
as ths successful advocate of arbitration.
"While advocating ths desirability of
peace, we should never forget that all the
laws and all ths nation of ths world ara
the result of war and of force.

There is nothing of the experiment
about The Ladies1 Home Journal.
It is 32 years old. The man who
started it controls it today. It has
had but two editors; the present
editor has been its editor for 26 years.
The idea on which it is 'based was
conceived and laid down by a
woman, and that idea has been per
petuated and strengthened each
year. It represents a-steady growth
of one up-building policy, continu
ous and consistent
Its history is a record built up on
a series of successes not changes,
not accidents; therefore, it has be
come a factor in the life of the Ameri
can family steady and sure.
. It is like hitching a wagon to a
star for a woman to read The
Ladies Home Journal. It is author
itative and safe. , It has a record
back of it, and it goes on strength
ening that record as it freshens its
contents and picks out the best of
modern progress touching the home
and womanhood..
Its , mo4ern .freshness is as re
markable as is the steadiness of its
record.
