ITALY FACES , v INNER CRISIS Problems Confronting Nation May Force Special Election. ROME. March 21.—'The Italian government will be forced to go before the people in a general election, It was indicated today. It was stated Premier Giolitti will call for dissolution of Parliament and ask for an election the last week in May. The complications which have led up to the expected action Included: The economic situation. The labor situation, with the threat of Bolshevism. The Italian failure to wield a stronger Influence In recent allied negotiations. Charges that the government has supported the Fascisti in attacks on Bolshevists and other radicals. The bread and other bills putting burdens on the consumers. m The Italian crisis was regarded as alBnost certain to occur. In surrounding ■courtrlvs it was believed the high cos* rof living and other difficulties could not be staved off much longer by Premier Giolott's promises, such as the labor Control bill and his proposals for lightening taxation. Violence by. the Fascisti and Socialists was regarded as the great Influence in dissolving Parliament. ‘MUST LISTEN TO GOD’S WORf),’ ASSERTS GIPSY (Continued From Page One.) God. Many of you are. Many of you have been. ‘‘You may have chosen your own way or your own will. God has been defied, thwarted, circumvented. But don’t forget that you'll pay big some day for your rebellion, and throughout all eternity you will have time to curse yourself for your folly. Ml ST OBEY OK PAY PENALTY. "You must obey the will of God or pay the penalty. Your soul cannot be fed on the things of the world. "Jesus, when he was only 12, said to His Mother, ‘I must be about My Father's business.' That's our business. Find out what that business is. It will pay you. There is no such thing as happiness without being right, without having the right relationship with God. “The Father's business Is God first. Heaven is conscience, void of offense toward God or man. "Some of you men have transacted business this morning that you would hate to have the church look upon. Some of you have written letters today that you would not wish me to see. And some %you women may have made a date s morning that you should not have made. That Is the thing that. Is tearing the heart out of this country now. “God’s will Is not in words, or songs, orfchurches with fine gilt windows. The will of God is right, holy. “Wouldn’t there be a big change in your life if God had his way.” GOVERNOR M’CRAY CALLED TO PLATFORM. Governor Warren T. McCray occupied a chair on the pulpit platform of the tabernacle last night as the evangelist, in his most aggressive sermon against vice and unbelief, drove home the gospel of his teaching to such a telling degree that more men, woman and young people came forward to grasp the right hand of the speaker and declared to live better lives than ever has been done during the revival. The Governor entered the tabernacle last night through one of the public entrances and took a seat on one of the big benches in the auditorium near one of the sawdust trails leading to the pulpit. When C. H. Winders of the Indianapolis Church Federation saw him in the audience Governor McCray was Invited to the pulpit where the Gipsy evangelist Shook hands with the Indiana Governor. The evangelist walked to the front of the platform and asked the members of the vast audience to wave their handkerofcuefs in salute of the chief executive of State and In a minute thousands of were waring handkerchiefs. Mr. ray whs given a seat near that of He evangelist and remained on the platWorm during the song service. When the evangelist began preaching Governor McCray retired to a chair which had been placed for him in an enclosed place near the piano. The Governor and William McEwan, the choir leader, sat side by side during the entire sermon. GOVERNOR JOINS IN SINGING. During the song sendee Governor McCray held a revival song book in bis hand and Joined in singing all the songs. When tne evangelist at the close of his sermon asked for those to stand who desired to pray first for themselves and then for their neighbor. Governor McCray stood up with thousands of others In the big tabernacle. Last night will probably go down in the records of the Gipsy Smith revival ss one of the biggest nights of the campaign. The Gipsy drove home his message with the plainest words and sentences of which he Is a master. He seemed to be talking to each individual instead of to the big audience collectively. “Oh, you poor sinner,” or "Ob, you poor, misguided creature,” he cried out to the vast audience in an effort to drive home his lesson of repentance. At the close of his vigorous asganlt against d*lay in accepting Christ, the evangelist said in a voice trembling with emotion, “I have poured my soui out tonight. I have said some mighty strong things. I have said them with a breaking heart and with tears in my eyes. Oh, God, sav* these people. That Is my cry. It wrings my heart. Does It wring yours?” The evangelist gave a personal Invitation for those who did not sign the decision cards to tilt the saw dust trail and come personally to the foot of the platform. The evangelist left the platform and took his position on the saw dust ■krail leading to the pulpit. Briny hit ■THE TRAIL. f A white-haired man with shoulders ' erect, walked from the rear of the tabernacle and shook the hand of the Gipsy evangelist. Soon, young girls by themselves and in groups walked to the platform. Young men with their iuotlu-rs bit the trail. Husbands with their wives came forward. Suddenly the evangelist cried out. “Mrs. , your husband Is here professing Christ. Yon sre here In the tabernacle. Will you not come forward and stand by his side?" A little woman moved from her Beat, walked to the front of the taberncale and stood by her husband. A beautiful girl walked up the long aisle alone and took the bands of the evangelist as ahe whispered something to him. “Mother of this girl, will you not Join your own daughter and accept Christ?” pleaded the evangelist. “We are praying for you, mother! Should your daughter lead the way when you should have set tip- example? Oh, mother, come forward !” A fashionably dressed woman vacated her seat on one of the benches, walked with bowed head toward the Gipsy, kissed her daughter and took her place by the side of her child. ACDIKNCE CHEERS. The audience brske forth with a loud cheer. An eldehy man walked forward and Joined the group in front of the pulpit The evangelist than called to one of the
Harding Entertains Indians
dATJUa*
Thirty-five representatives of IndiaD tribes, many of them in native costume, visited the White House. They came from various western States to recommend the appointment of Thomas L. Sloan of Nebraska as Indian commissioner. The visitors were entertained by President and Mrs. Harding, who pointed out to them the beauties of the White House grounds. Mrs. Harding was pre-
women in the big choir, “Come down and join your husband, be is here.” A large woman walked rapidly from : her place in the choir and took her position by the side of her husband. pate's hand played a part in the services. The evangelist, calling out a name, said. “She Is wanted home at once. Her I father is dying.” Tenderly, the evangelist said, “The final call may come any hour to someone here. Are you prepared?” In speaking of the close of the first week of his campaign, Gipsy Smith said [that the first weeTc of the Indianapolis campaign is the biggest in the history of ' his work. More than 4,000 accepted the Christ last week and more than 1,500 took the decisive step yesterday afternoon at the men s meeting and at the night sermon. COME TO HEAR THE BABBLE. The evangelist indicated at the beginning of his sermon that be wag going to talk straight from the shoulder and use plainer words than he ever has during this campaign. “You are not here because you hate ain." he declared. “You are not here because you love Jesus. You are curious, you have come to hear the babble. Things lof God don't come into your lives. You don't care whether you have a soul or [ not. You think only of the things you can eat and enjoy. You love the things '< that don't count. The things you are : concerned with are clothes, food and pleasure, not your soul, not Judgment and j not eternity. [ “We are all for the Jazz, the giggle and on the everlasting go. We decorate, we powder and we paint a corpse and forget the aoul —the thing that will live. “We don't think for ourselves. Wait until God lifts the bandages from your eyes and you will have plenty of time to think, and I pray that it will not he too ! late. God hasn’t any place in your : prayers. “Why do you wait until the coffin pomes until you call God. Why didn’t you send for him on your wedding day?. Why didn't you call him when the cradle was fixed? _ “I pray with all the intensity of my | being that you will wake up to the i things that count. Begin to care. Begin to pray.” Measuring every word and talking slowly. Gipsy Smith said, as he pointed a warning finger, “Jesus will hold you responsible for your own damnation because He has made the way so gloriously possible for you to accept Him. Yon don't care for His day because you treat it like any other day. You don't read His book. “You can't treat Jesus badly without cost to yourself. Sin flrat of all takes away the desire for Jesus. Jesus hasn t a place In your home. Fie never sits at your table. You never have a chair for Him. Yon poor wretch, you have forgotten Him. He Is out of your life. t\ hat are you going to do when death comes? Who is going to lift you over the valley? “Once more you have had Jesus Christ forced upon your intelligence. I am talking of the Christ that some of your loved ones who have died, loved and trusted. You skw the love light in their eyes and you promised to meet them' yesterday and bow will you live tomorrow in face of what I have said? ‘‘Y"ou don't hear hts songs. All you hear ts jazz. I don't know where we are going unless someone .stops us tn God's name. Nations and people bigger -•flian you and I have gone to ruin because Jesus was shut out.” Then, in speaking of himself, the evangelist said, “Put me down as a raver, if you desire. Call me an enthusiast. In your vulgarity call me a ranter or a raver, but for the sake of Christ, pray. If you do that I will not care what you say about me." APPEALS TO MOTHERS. Continuing, he said, "Some of you mothers are more concerned with the cut of your new gown than you are with your souls. Mothers, your children will grow up Godless. “If all the people of Indianapolis would give the sermon on the mount a square deal for twenty-four hours, Indianapolis would have the millennium. Care as much about your city as 1 do. 1 am giving my life blood and I don’t live here.” The evangelist told of a woman whose business was the lowest possible—that oif selling herself to men, protecting an Innocent g4-f who had fallen into a house of shame, and guarding her through the night so no harm could come lo the girl and then taking the girl in the morning to a minister. “That poor harlot was doing the work of the cross," cried Gipsy Smith. "She cared for someone. What hours, what money, what social entertainment have you sacrificed to bring someone to Christ ?” Yesterday afternoon Gipsy Sntith spoke to an audience of men who packed every Inch of space In the big tabernacle. A meeting for women was held at the same hour at Roberts Park M. E. Church. Last night services were held in 100 •f the 140 churches which are supporting.

Felts then issued the following formal statement to the newspaper men: “The verdict of this Jury sigulfles one thing, a miscarriage of Justice, and fully demonstrates to every one that knows the facts of this cnee that it is more popular among a certain element In this country to be a.desperado than to be a law*abldlng citizen, especially when It has any connection with the present labor controversy. "I confess that the verdict Is a disappointment to me, as I believe it is to all good citizens of the country.” Five of the B'elts detectives, survivors of the battle, are under indictment on a charge of killing Mayor C.

Hays, new Postmaster General. Mr. Hays, in the belief of Federal employes, seems to be suffering from a bad attack of “proclamationKis” and he issues a sheaf every week with the grace and ease he exhibited during the campaign. His latest proclamation urges all postmasters to participate In civic activities in the respective communities. “By taking an active interest in the meetings of local chambers of commerce,” reads the order, “boards of trade, commercial clubs and other civic and community organizations, excellent opportunities are afforded for the dissemination of general postal information essential to the proper conduct of an efficient postal service.” And beneath the Postmaster General’s signature appears the office notation: “Dept.

SAY AMISH SHY AT SCHOOL LAWS How to Make Children Attend Meeting Topic. A meetirg was held at the office of the State superintendent of public instruction today to devise some way to persuade persons of the Amish faith in La Grange County to obey the school laws. According to L. N. Hines, State superintendent of public instruction, these people are opposed to education except In a very limited degree and for this reason are not sending their children to school. Mr. Hines said It had been reported to him that Amish children who have been required to attend school have purposely failed in their studies so as not to advance. The new school attendance laws Increasing the school age limit will make It still harder to keep such pupils in school, he said. The department of education Is planning to install vocational courses in four schools attended by Amish children on the ground that they will not object to this form of education. Mr. Hines is planning to go to La Grange County to look over the situation.
