Evangelist's Plea Brings Thou
sands to Knees in Sawdust;
They Come One by One
In what Dr. Stough described as
"the greatest night ever seen In Har
risburg" more than !>OO people—most
of them women church members—hit
the trail and knelt in the sawdust at
the tabernacle last night as a decla
ration of repentance and a public con
fession of Jesus Christ.
Only a few non-church members!
were among the numDer, as the audi
ence was made up almost entirely of
about 7,000 members of the co-operat
ing churches who marched to the
tabernacle in street parades. The gen
eral public occupied the few remain
ing seats. Many hundreds were turned
away.
Dr. Stough was transformed from
the humorous sensationalist he has
been in the hist ten days and became
the serious evangelist and Christian
gentleman who wins souls. Mis pun
gent preaching to a picked crowd on
the subject of "The Dost Christ" was
interspersed with death-bed stories,
accounts of the result of sin and illus
trations of forgiveness, told with a
pathos that roused his hearers to a
pitch of feeling never before witnessed
in Narrlsburg.
Koljs. Tears. Cries
Hysterical sobbing, cries of help and
tears from thousands of eyes told of
the emotions of sin-convicted hearts
in response to the masterful pleading i
of the evangelist. Ills working up tc.
• limaxes, his intense sincerity and his
sense of power over the crowd are the
tools used by a man who thoroughly
knows the business of evangelism and
salvation.
About two-thirds of the trail hitters j
were women. Almost half of the total
were from the chorus, and practically i
all of them were adults. Aside from i
the comparatively few cases of hys- j
terics that, created some commotion,
most of tlie converts seemed well com
posed and determined in their action ;
of confession.
Call for Confession
Dr. Stough's call for confession came
gradually and was worked up to step
by step. As he drew near the con
clusion of his appealing sermon ho
descended part way on the stairs at
the front of his platform and in seri-
F* HIS. careful words asked how many
of the audience had been truly helped

Washington, D. C., Nov. 13. —While
no armed clash had been reported to
day between the forces of Carranza
and the Aguasealientes convention,
both sides were preparing for hostile
operations. As many of the generals

Leipzig and Dresden Are Taking
on Supplies at South
American Port
By Associated Press
Valparaiso, Nov. 13.—The German
j cruisers Leipzig and Dresden steamed
; into Valparaiso harbor this morning
i and at once started taking on supplies
! and provisions.
!
The German cruisers which partici
j paled in the naval engagement No
| vember 1 off the coast of Chile with
I an English squadron were the Scharn
, liors, Gneisenau, Leipzig, Bremen and
i Numbers.
After this engagement the Scharn
! horst, the Gneisenau and the Nurnberg
! put into Valparaiso, but stayed only a
•short time, goin£ to sea again Novem-
I ber 4. No definite news has yet come
j to hand regarding the whereabouts of
| the Leipzig and Bremen since the light
| with the British.
A dispatch received two days ago
l from Lima said a steamer arriving at
j Taltal, Chile, had reported the pres-
I ence of four German warships steam
ing northward along the Chilean coast.
A cablegram from Montevideo last
night made reference to the Japanese
cruiser squadron in the Pacific, re
ported to have been off Easter Island,
about 2.000 miles west of Chile, some
ten days ago, saying this squadron
consisted of eight vessels.
The British battleship Canopus and
the cruiser Defense were reported a
week ago as having passed through
the straits of Magellan, bound west to
i join the cruiser New Zealand in the
Pacific.
A later dispatch from Valparaiso
last night said it was reported that a
Japanese squadron has been sighted
off Cape Carranza, 250 miles south of
Valparaiso It was on Cape Carranza
j that a British warship was reported to
have gone ashore after the naval en
! gagement, but no trace of the vessel
was found.
The arrival of the vessels at Val
paraiso leads to the belief that a great
p.aVal battle will be fought near there
soon.

from his bed In a Harrisburg Hospital
ward, broke away from nurses, vaulted

His body struck the balustrade with

GERMANS HAVE FAILED IN
ATTEMPT TO WIN THEIR
WAY TO ENGLISH CHANNEL
High Tide of Battle on Fields of Belgium Has Passed, Ac
cording to Information Given Out by French Official
News Bureau; Fighting From French Border to
North Sea Has Become Less Violent; German Air
ships Within Forty Miles of London; Two German
Cruisers at Valparaiso
The high tide of battle on Belgian
fields has passed, according to infor
mation torday from French official
sources, and German might has failed!
as yet to win the way to the English I
channel. To-day's statement from the
French war office announces that the
fighting front the French border to the
North Sea has become less violent, a
circumstance which previously mark
ed the passing of each of the succes
sive battles.
Whether the present situation Indi
cates merely a lull in the engagement
or the closing of one great act in the
.war play is yet to be learned.
I What the war is costing in human
[life, as well as in men wounded or
held prisoners, can only be surmised.
Occasionally, however, bits of authen
tic information arc obtainable from
which may be gathered a vague idea
of what it all means. Premier As
quith, for example, said to-day In the.
House of Commons that (he British
casualties up to October 31 were ap
provimatciy 57,000. Lord WJtchener
stated recently that England had sent
300,000 men to the front. In other
words one Englishman out of every
six engaged in the war, roughly speak
ing, is dead, or has been wounded or
taken prisoner. The loss of life among
the British nobility has been heavy.

centratlon camps.
Particular interest was attached to
to-day's French announcement for the
reason that the liattle in Belgium was
considered by both sides as probably
I marking a Uelinite turn in the general
course of the war. Berlin was siient so
I that German viewpoint of the latest
(developments was not obtainable.
The French statement asserted that
several attempt of Germans to cross
the Yser canal around which has oc
curred some of the most deadly strug
gles of the war were checked. These
attempted advances were made at tho
western outlet from Dixmude, which
the Germans wrested from the allies a
few days ago, and the way along which
the Germans sought to push their
forces led straight to Dunkirk on tho
channel. Attacks around Ypres also
were repulsed, the French announced.
Elsewhere on the main line of bat
tle gains by the allies are reported, in
eluding tho capture of a town north of
the Alsne. At several points violent
fighting is in progress, a circumstance
which corroborated earlier unofficial
advices from Paris that the battle, of
the Aisne was being resumed with iti>
original intensity.
Fresh Efforts on Center
Military experts in Franco and Eng
land have - been predicting that the
allies would make fresh efforts along
the center or on the eastern wing in on
attempt to compel the Germans to
send reinforcements there and relievo
the pressure in Belgium.
From the other fields of battle thero
is little new Information. In Berlin
was received a dispatch from Vienna
which, while stating that the Austrian
operations in the northeast were de
veloping "without hindrance from the
enemy," also contained the admission
that central Galacla had been evacuat
ed by the Austrians, and that the Rus
sians had crossed the lower Vistula
