HILLIS THRILLS CROWD
WITH FORCEFUL SERMON
With the Theme. "The Baca and the
Bacer,'' the Evangelist Lands
Smashing Blows on Dancing and
Card Playing
Evangelist Hillis preached a soul
stirring sermon last night to a large
and appreciative audience on the sub
ject, "The Race and the Racers." In
the course of his remarks he said that
every one is in a race for something.
He drew a contrast between the past
and the present by comparing an old
time clock with one of to-day. The old
clock of fifty years ago says: "Don't
fret, don't fret," while the clock of to
day says, "Get there, get there." We
must get there to-day or lose out. He
said one of the most dangerous ene
mies of to-day is the cigarette. Re
ferring to the attitude of the pew to
ward the pulpit, he said: "If you
want your preachers to preach good
sermons you must pat them on the
back, not kick them. ' In reference to
hindrances in the race of life, he said:
"A whole lot of people are trying
to run the Christian race with such a
lot of weights hanging to them that
they cannot move forward. One of the
weights to-day on the lives of many
christians, and many who are not, is
the modern dance. Eighty and one
half per cent, of the prostitutes in Chi
cago said in a late interview that they
were placed where they were by the
modern dance. Fifty years ago you
could get a saw-log between two per
sons dancing; to-day you cannot get a
case-knife. I would rather have a
daughter of mine walk like a hippo
potamus than to learn to be graceful
bv the modern dance.
"Another weight is card playing.
Cards originated with an idiot son of
Henry, the eighth. The king offered
$25,000 to the man who would invent
something that would amuse his son.
Cards were invented to amuse a young
man who was an idiot, and they are
still used by idiots. I have never yet
seen a cardpjaving Christian who
amounted to anything as a soul-winner.
He played unmercifully the Christian
who will not forgive and in one of the
most dramatic and powerful thrusts
of the night said, 'The Christion Must
Forgive or He Will Go Straight to
Hell.' "
That the campaign is growing was
evidence..! by the announcements of
various activities. Meetings are being
held in the Reformed church every aft
ernoon at 4.15 for the boys of the
High school, under the direction of
Professor L«. S. Stahl. There are also
meetings in the Presbyterian church for
the girls of the High school, under the
direction of Mrs. C. E. Hillis. Plans
are being made for High school night
on Saturday at the tabernac-le.
Arrangements are about perfected
for a nursery to take care of the chil
dren, thus allowing mothers to attend
the meetings who could not otherwise
do so. The nursery will 'be under the
care of competent persons.
Th« cottage prayer meetings are now
starting, the town being divided into
72 districts. According to the plan
made there will be 288 of these meet
ings every week of the campaign.
Sunday school day will be observed
on Sunday afternoon at 3.15 o'clock.
The schools- will march to the taber
nacle in a body. 1

NECOTIAITORSWITR ITALY
REACH THE CRITICAL STAGE:
WAR PREPARATIONS CO ON
Vienna. May 6. —Due D'Avarna. the
Italian Ambassador, conferred yester
day with Baron Burian, Austro-Hungar
ian Foreign Minister. Much impor
tance is attached to the interview, but
no announcement has been made as to
the result. The negotiations with
Italy are generally regarded as having
reached a critical stage.
On the Italian Frontier, Wednesday,
May 5, Via Paris, May 6, 12.40 P. M.
—At the same time that the negotia
tions between Italy and Austria are be
ing continued. Italy's military prepara
tions are being completed with as much
energy as though the country expected
to participate in war to-morrow. All
the carabineers and customs guards,
who in Italy arc attached to the army,
havo been called to the colors and all
military leaves of absence have been
suppressed.
The frontier of Italy on the Austrian
side has been strongly fortified. All
the passes are protected with entrench
ments and wire entanglements. Con
crete has been used in a number of
places in the erection of barricades for
the protection of the soldiers.
Special measures have been adopted
for the defense of Venice and the art
treasures in this city. The naval au
thorities are of the opinion that long
range guns of large calibre are suffi
cient to prevent any hostile fleet from
bombarding the city, but attack from
aeroplanes is feared'. To afford protec
tion against the onslaughts of aviators,
anti-airship guns have been set up at
several points around the city and it
is believed they will be sufficient to
protect them from assault from above.
In addition to troops concentrated
on the Austrian frontier,.another Ital
ian army lias been brought together in
the vicinity of Brindisi, on the Adri
atic. This concentration is interpreted
as a sign that Italy foresees the pos
sibility of action in the near east.
ARMENIANS BEING ARRESTED
IN LARGE NUMBERS IN TURKEY
London, May 6.—A Reuter's dis
patch from Sofia says that two Armen
ian journalists who have arrived there
declare that Armenians are being ar
rested in large numbers in Turkey.
• The reason for this as given by
Talaat Bey, the Turkish Minister of
the Interior, is that the Armenians in
Van are urging the population of the
town to revolt.
Rumania and Bulgaria in Compact
Turin, Italy, May 6.—A military
agreement has been concluded between
Rumania and Bulgaria which is pre
liminary to a formal political alliance
making it obligatory for those nations
to support each other in case of war.
according to a Saleniki dispatch to the
"Gazetta Di Torino."

Constantinople, May 5, Via Wireless

M.—The following official ■ statement
regarding the operations in the Darda
nelles was issued this afternoon by the
Turkish war office:
"The unfavorable situation of the
enemy in the Dardanelles remains un
changed. Reports from Athens regard
ing the occupation of Gallipoli and Xa
jgara'by landing forces are untrue.
"The Gallipoli peninsula is entirely
at our disposal for military movements.
The enemy holds only two points on
the coast, Seddul Bahr and Ariburau,
thanks to the constant firing of his
ships. The enemy is unable to make
any moves against the Turkish en
circling forces. The Asiatic coast has
been freed of our enemies."

BARNUM EIRCUS
PARADE THRILLS
Coitlnunl From Klrat Pi(r,
Hers. There were half a dozen bands '
and oue a mounted band. The leading i
band chariot was drawn by 18 splendid i
the chap who has trou-
Lie witlvone pair of reins when he take.? ]
his best girl out for a Sunday ride '
gazed with astonishment and envy at 1
the nonchalant character who piloted j
this remarkable "hitch."
The funny old clown who sang the !
comic song, reeled oft' quips and!
corundrums and made the ringmaster!
ridiculous has become a medley, a mill-'
titude of abstracts, a whirlwind of un
identified comedy, i jtering to all ages.
He appeared in the parade this morn- 1
ing in the form of a brass band. Kach j
one personified in himself some age and i
characteristic of elowndom. While all)
others in the eavnleade looked straight i
ahead and were decorum incarnate, the I
clowns in that hand were in merry j
mood. They addressed every one—— j
man, woman, girl or child —and with [
the most humorous sallies kept the
crowd amused.
It is recorded that Nero fiddled while !
Rome burned. Harnsburg might have
been attacked before the crowds on the !
streets would have noticed this morn
ing. They were out for amusenieut '
and the circus delivered it in large j
packages—unalloyed.
Trappings Clesui and Bright
Old P. T. Barnum meant well in his
ancient day and did well enough, but if j
he had seen this parade to-day given j
by the circus he founded he would have J
been envious. The display of horse ;
flesh alone was well worth while. The i
costumes, trappings and all properties I
were clean and bright and from stem to |
stern the pageant was worthy of the
best traditions of this admittedly great- '
est show on earth.
But if the parade was the "finest, I
ever," as much can be said of the per
formance this afternoon, when this
thousand-sided miracle of the amuse
ment world entertained and delighted a
great audience.
The circus started with a glorious j
pageant illustrating the departure of :
Lalla Rookh from Delhi. It was a j
gorgeous affair, with a perfect ocean of \
color to dazzle the eve, and enlists the I
services of over 1.000 persons, together 1
with hordes of elephants and horses.
Then came the circus proper, and it was
an eve-opener for the blase person who
"has seen it all.'' Right from the
opening number there was more ginger
and go and snap than was ever before
seen at a circus.
And the great charm of it all was the I
great number of performances and acts \
that could really be called new. Pal- '
lcnberg's bears, who did everything but J
talk; Marcella's trained parrots, ma
caws and cockatoos, who also did ev I
erything, including talking; the war
elephants in a spirited battle pant.i- I
mime; Thalero's fox terriers and riding
monkeys; Adgie's 12 lions in a steel
arena; all these were being seen fori
the first time here and were among!
the high lights on a program which con
tained nothing commonplace or of a
mediocre nature.
Whirlwind Display of Riding
Among the riding numbers, the Eng- I
lish Hannaford Family were .seen in a
