"BILLY" WOULD FORGE HEARERS TO AID DEFENSE

Evangelist Threatens to Lock Doors Until Everyone Buys Liberty Bond. NEW YORK, June 8. An enthusiastic campaign in behalf of the Liberty Loan is to be made at Billy Sunday's Tabernacle during the remaining days of his stay here. Deafening applause greeted the evangelist last night when he announced that at every night's services some noted speaker will appeal for t ubscriptions to the loan, from the Tabernacle pulpit. ' "If you haven't taken a Liberty bond don't come back here," Billy paid. ' May Put In Booth. "I think I will put a booth on the platform, so that you can buy the bonds every night after the services are over. "And." he added, jokingly, "I've a good mind to get some regular troops, lock the doors and not let you out until you buy a bond. It makes me tired, this pusillanimous, contemptible way of making Uncle Sam beg you to loan him some money at interest." He gave you a home when you come here, now you help him. "We're going to have some prominent man up hre all topnotchers. I think I'll ask them to send up George Perkins George P. Baker, Judge Elbert H. Gray, Frank A. Vanderlip and the rest of that crowd." "Get Teddy," several cried. "All right," said Bill, when the applause subsided, "I'll ask for him too. The only mistake I think the Administration ever made was when it refused to let Teddy - go across. I'll back them in everything except that." OHIOAN TO PREACH Rev. T. D. Zimmerman of Shadyslde, O., will occupy the pulpit at Central Christian church at both morning and evening services next Sunday. Rev. Zimmerman comes at the call of the pulpit committee as an applicant for the pastorate left vacant by the resig nation of Thos. H. Adams.

General Pershing said to The Associated Press: "The trip has been delightful, pariicularly the latter stages, when we were escorted through the danger zone by our own destroyers. Speaking for myself and my Btaff, we are glad to be the standard bearers of America in this great war for civilization. "The opportunity of landing at a British port and the welcome we received are very significant and are deeply appreciated. We expect in the couse of a very short time to be playing our part which. I hope, will be a very big part, on the western front." I! STARR . PHONOGRAPHS AND RECORDS Creating a Furnished Twenty-five patterns of Bed Davenports are on'our floor for you to choose from.

Before the various county delegations to the Republican district convention, which is to nominate a candidate for representative in Congress, began heir caucusing this forenoon five Wayne county delegates, two from Richmond and three from the western part of the county were putting forth every effort to prevent the delegation from uniting in support of the candidacy of Byram C. Robbins of Richmond. Dr. Robert Kelly, of Earlham college, to whose candidacy two delegates ate pledged arrived on the scene this morning escorted by fimothy Nicholson. Dr. Kelly abruptly ended all talk that he "intended to withdraw his candidacy.

not a -candidate for the congressional nomination, a poll of Wayne county delegates who were m Rushville last night revealed the fact that at least three of them, all hailing from the western part of the county, were Bossert supporters having been lined up

for Bossert by his brother-in-law,' Dr. Squires, of Milton. A loose count of delegates from several other-counties also revealed some Bossert sentiment. As soon as a representative number of Wayne delegates nad arrived in Rushville last night men representing the interests of Byram Robbins went to L. S. Bowman, Wayne county chairman, with the request that he call a caucus of the delegates to determine whether It would be possible for the Wayne delegation to go into the convention this afternoon with a united support for some Wayne county candidate. Bowman refused to do this and Robbins supporters were today attaching much significance to the fact that certain Wayne county men who had been listed as neither Bossert or Kelly vorkers, came into the Robbins camp with the proposal that Robbins be withdrawn from the contest and that Wayne county throw its solid support behind Bowman. This suggestion was promptly and vigorously turned down by the Robbins men. Those in charge of the Robbins candidacy decided to accept no compromise and announced that the Robbins delegates would support him until he is either nominated or defeated. Henry For Barnard. The Henry county delegates, twenty-two in number, are all supporters of George Barnard, notwithstanding the fact that Patrick J. Lynch of Newcastle opened a headquarters in hotel here last night and made every effort to entice the Barnard delegates into supporting his belated candidacy. In the event Wayne county fails to give its undivided support to some Wayne county candidate the Henry county delegates declare that Barnard's name will be placed in nomination. Dick Elliott, of Connersville, will go into the convention with the solid support of Fayette and Franklin counties. The Shelby delegation is united in support of the candidacy of Elmer Bassett, of Shelbyville, and the Hancock delegation is championing the candidacy of Will Hough, of Greenfield. Ths Rush and Union delegations will begin the balloting by dividing their votes equally amongst all the candidates. There are 119 delegates to the convention with 60 votes necessary to choice.

Every officer originally in the regiment with the exception of the colonel and one other, has been killed in battle." . , Military training, according to Colonel Warren, adds years to a man's life.

EARLHAM HEIGHTS SCHOOL BUILDING MAY BE CONDEMNED

Residents of Earlham heights are now confident that a new addition to the school building will be made during this summer. Yesterday, Township Trustee Edgerton received word from Indianapolis that unless the building is changed before the opening of next . fall the state board of health will condemn and close the building for school next winter. . An assistant secretary of the board will be in the city next week at the call of the patrons of the school and make an examination of the building. If his examination proves that the contention of the patrons of the school is proper, it is probable that it will be closed or that the township board of review will order work on the addition started at once. A meeting of the board of review will be held as soon as possible and it is believed that contracts for the addition will be let at this meeting. WOULD NET $6,000,000 THE HAGUE, Netherlands, June 8.
