tising Revival
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Jan. 2S.-Mayor
William JUddle Is Eolns to take hla
chances with the church vote.
Tha die was cast early today, when
the "sane liberality" forces, acting
through linemen of the Atlantic City
Electric Company, attacked Evangelist
Btouch's army on the left Hank and "re
moved" tho Stough revival campaign ban
ner, which for several days has been
flapping In front of the Mayor's office
windows to the great annoyance of the
"City Hall gang."
The. Mayor's victory la a strategic one.
No damage was done to the banner. It
was simply furled with great caro and
tied up In a bundle upon the crossarms
of a high pole.
"Sane liberality" forces are happy over
the Mayor's "victory." Followers of
Stough say Riddle dealt a political blow
at himself and that he will regret the
move when the votes are counted after
tha primary In May,
Churchmen today charged that the peti
tion, for the removal of the banner sent
to the City Commission yesterday was
originated in tho "Mayor's office, It con
tains the name of hU secretary and of
bis stenographer.
A fierce denunciation of the shore lodge
of Moose for maintaining a bar at Its
clubrooms and Belling liquor to members
was delivered In the tabernacle by Stough
last night Stough had extended a tenta
tive Invitation to the Moose men to visit
tha tabernacle last night. The ofllcers of
the lodge forbade the members to accept
tha Invitation.

Following the Inspired footsteps of Karl
Armgnanl Graves, tho Kaiser's Own Most
Personal of Personal Spies, Ignatius
Tlmothous Trlblch Lincoln, International
spy, tolls how tho work Is lone, In hla
revelations, published (by Robert M Mc
Brido & Co.) on tho very day Mr. Llncotn
cruelly disappeared It Is rumored that
beforo his exit Mr Lincoln telephoned
his publishers. Be that ns it may be, tno
copy sent to the reviewer Is liberally be
sprent with errors nnd Is In n manlla
cover.
Mr. Lincoln was certainly a spy. Ho
started In at tho behest of a member of
.the British governing -class, who opposed
tho anti-Gorman nttltudo of tho majority
Ho "snooped" about In Belgium and In
Paris and his faculty for nsklng ques
, tlons was a great help to him Whenever
he Is at a loss In the present work ho
asks a. question In Italics After ho had
become a member of Parliament (and
this may lie what ho refers to ns perse
cution In England) he becamo an out-nnd-
out German spy, tried to blow up part 01
tho British navy, nnd finally Bklppcd tho
country.
Tho good faith of Mr Lincoln (born nt
Paks. Hungary, of Jewish parents, later
ordained as a minister In tho Anglican
Church) can bo Judged by hl nnlve asser
tion that tho conference nt AlReciras nnd
tho Agadir affair wero attempts of the
Kaiser to smooth down tho affairs of
Europe and to arrange a German-British
entente. His Impartiality mav be Judged
from his references to pan-Slavlsts nnd
hysterical chauvinists (of Russia . and
France) as opposed to the altruistic policy
of Germany, which "hoped that England
and Russia would come Into conflict In the
Far East." His accuracy Is generally of
a piece with his reference to Sir Rich
ard (1) Borden, and his strategic vision is
superb. Ho talks of Italy being bound to
throw 600,000 men against Genniny via
Austria! Ho discusses the Open Door In
China without reference to John Hay.
But there Is a deal of truth in the
book, maugro all the nonsense, and nil of
It Is vastly entertaining. But there is
some Lincoln green In the author's eye.
Two types of humor, which aron't so
far apart o.b one would expect them to
be, aro neatly matched In A. A. Milne's
'Happy Dogs" (George II Doran Com
pany) and the "Moonbeams From tho
Larger Lunacy," of Stephen Loacock
(John Lane). Tho latter is made up of
many pieces, some of which, we believe,
appeared In American prints Mr. Lea
cock Is tho author of tho great farce, "Be
hind the Beyond," and his work Is ac
cepted as real American humor. Mr
Milne's Is the "A. A. M" of Punch, Ini
tials over which have appeared some of
the lightest and gayest of all prose writ
ings since On en Seaman took on himself
editorial cares and poetic fancies. Hero
In America wo aro not supposed to find
Punch funny. The f.tct Is that Mr Lea
cock, whom wo do find Intensely amusing,
has much the samo faculty as Mr Milne.
Both are given to the quaint and fantas
tic, both are devoted to human beings
Mr. Milne's child stories are the high
lights of tho book. Mr Lcicock excels In
burlesque. Both books are thoroughly
fine and one regrets that Mr Simeon
Strunsky hasn't a book Just out to make
a trilogy of Canadian. English and Amer
ican humor all by masters.
If you can't go walking yourself this
year from n. barrack town In Franco to
tho gates of Rome, ou can at least lay
your plans and choose your companion.
By right of eminent domain you should
choose Hllalre Belioc, one of the wittiest,
the pleasantcst, the most learned and tho
least offensively learned, of men He
has written a book, "The Path to Rome"
(G, P. Putnam's Sons), describing Just
ouch a Journey In tho wild, foolish. Joyous
Rabelaisslan style he affects. He discusses
with you the etjmology of words nnd
the advantages of Inns and small towns,
and goes off Into long (and fascinating)
speculations about everything, and draws
you quaint pictures and enters into
medieval disputations between Auctor
(himself) and Lector (yourself). It is u
well-printed, well-Illustrated, vvell-worth-Teadlng
book.
For a quick reaction from the crafty
pages of I. T. T. Lincoln nothing could
be better than Hall Calne'a "Drama of
365 Days" (Llpplncott) Living today, wo
are Inclined to fancy tho first year of tho
war the most pregnant of all history. Mr.
Calne devotes himself to reiteration of
this fancy. He has lurid pen pictures of
tho "doddering" Emperor of Austria and
of the "snobbish" Crown Prince and of
the lost moment In Downing street when
war was automatically declared by the
nonarrlval of a message from Wllhelm
strasse, and he thinks a great deal about
liberty. The book tells nothing new, yet
It refreshes memories of evil days and
there are bits of Information which the
casual reader, who Is the best reader. Is
not likely to find elsewhere. All done In
the hectic style of the author of "The
Woman Thou Gavest Me."

Pray for Loved Ones 'Billy'
Again Showered With
Presents
ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jnn. 2S-Dr W. B
Blcderwolf, who has Just begun tho
fourth week of his cvnngcllstlo campaign
In Allentown, has become a storm centro
here, duo to a denunciation of former
Councilman Robert Wheeler and David
Williams, respectively, publisher nnd edi
tor of the Labor Herald, tho Socialist pa
per, which contained criticism of tho
evangelist, with Innucndos that ho wns
grafting.
"Unprincipled curs nnd liars" wero some
of the things Doctor Blcderwolf termed
Wherlcr and Wllllnr s, calling their
names from tho pulpit, boforo two audi
ences that aggregated 17,000 people, doc
tor Bledcrwolf said tho tabcrnaclo ccst
$7100 nnd that tho $M25 received from Its
salo had already been deducted from tho
expenses of tho campaign nnd that the
sale price would not go Into his pocket
What riled Doctor Bledcrwolf most was
an assertion that the Council of Federal
Churches Irnd demanded an Investigation
of his accounts He happens to be n high
officer of the council nnd said ho would
give his detractors JTiOOO If they could pro
duce an lota of evidence to substantiate
their charge.
'I never was subjected to such a dirty
and Inexcusable attack as this," declared
Doctor Bledcrwolf.
In responso to tho quesUon what ho
did with his money. Doctor Blcderwolf
snld: "Hero Is where theso Unprincipled
curs have barked up tho wrong treo. Last
year my Incomo was around $15,000. Out
of that I paid $3000 on my plcdgo to glvo
$11,000 to the endowment fund of tho
Family Altar League nnd $4000 to Wlno
Jin College This, with some small sums
given to other benevolences, shows wheto
my money went I understand Wheeler,
as Councilman, got $2500 a year salary;
I now offer that if I did not give fO times
as much to Ood's work last ear ns he,
then I will Rive him tho wholo of tho
free-will offering which I nm to rccelvo
from' tho people of Allentown nt the end
of this campaign."
Doctor Bledcrwolf declared that this
frco-nlll offering was tho only pay he
was to receive
He sprung a surprlso by declaring that
ho himself was n Socialist Ills detrac
tors, he snld, were anarchists.
After Doctor Blcderwolf had nssalled
them In tho afternoon, Wheeler and Will
iams enmo to tho sen Ires In the evening.
Kroin tho milnlt Doctor Bledcrwolf nil-
dressed them by name, told them that
what ho said about thorn wns not half
rough enough, nnd that he challenged
them to meet him after the services either
Inside the tabernacle or on the street
The ntidlrnca went wild over this chal
lenge to phj sloal combat, which Wheeler
and Williams did not acccirt.
The audit nccs wero worked up to n
tremendous pitch, nnd tho reply of tho
people of Allentown to the nttnek on tho
evangelist wero contributions, In one day,
of $10)0, which, with previous collections,
Is enough to finance the campaign.
In three weeks Doctor Bledcrwolf
pre.iehrd to upwards nf 1"0,000 people, and
approlmntoly I20o have hit tho tin.ll.

of the plavois and tho character of tho

"The theatio-goers," said Doctor Lyon,

TRENTON'. N. J.. Jan 23 "Billy"
Sunday said Inst night that If he were
God he would strike dead all of thoso
who damned and belched out their pro
fanities against Ills holv name.
Two hundred hit the trail and hundreds
of men, women, boys nnd girls asked
tho evangelist to li.cludo In his talk with
the Lord, pravcrs for their husbands,
wives, brothers, sisters, sons and best
fellows.
"Billy" was showered with glfu again
last night. By this time the evangelist
has ameng his presents at least ono of
every kind of nrtlcle made In Tmnton
"I don't think there Is an thing In the
world that Is not made In Trenton It
Is simply astounding the number of
things ou people turn out here," he said
The Thomas Maddock's Sons Company
yesterday gavo him a mo:t novel gift
They asked the evangelist if they could
equip a complete bathroom In his Winona
Lake home, and will send men there to
do the work. "Billy" told the people
how much he thought of their gifts, but
It would be liner If they would give
their lives to Christ and corro forward
and tako his hand. Many workmen from
tho potteries and mills hit tho trail last
night
"Hilly" wants a curfew law for children
Ho declared, In his sermon, that he would
be thankful when the curfew rings In
every city and town in tho country and
the law will grab every boy and girl by
the collar "and anj where else It can
get a hold when the father nnd mother
will not take care of them Tho average
boy nnd girl can lenrn more deviltry In
a few hours at night than all the Sun
day school teachers In the world can
eliminate In years," he said.
Sunday got In a parlor meeting and a
factory meeting in addition to tho regular
tabernacle services today. In the morn
ing, at 10 30 o'clock, ho spoke at the home
of Mrs. Charles Howell Cook, 307 West
State street, and, following this meeting,

The Steinway Pianola
The Wheelock Pianola
When self-playing- pianos first became a probability, the sole ambition
of inventors was to produce an instrument to render automatically every
power of human fingers and every interpretation of master musicians.
1'he PIANOLA became the first successful player to accomplish these
ideals. Patent after patent was procured by the Aeolian Company. Today
312 patents protect the PIANOLA.
On the PIANOLA you can render in the most amazingly simple
fashion exact reproductions of the best human playing. Through the
Metrostyle and Themodist you can simply produce every accent, every
shading and every bit of melody.
More amazing still you can purchase a genuine PIANOLA at prices
much less than that asked for imitations.
