MUSSOLINI IS CALLED GREATEST
EVIL THAT HAS FEFALLEN IT
ALY IN 160 YEARS
WASHINGTON, Apr. 13 (2)—The
towering figure of Mussolini became
the hub of swirling debate in the
senate today when administration
managers again sought approval of
Italian war debt settlement.

';;reatest evil that has befallen the
Italian people in a hundred years.

FATHERS AND SONS
EVANGELIST PREACHED TODAY
TO LARGE NUMBER OF -BUSI
NESS MEN. |
Rev. N. M. Lovein, the evangelist
who is conducting the meeting at
the Methodist church, has announced
a service for “Fathers and Sons” to
be held at the church tonight. The
ladies are also expected o be pres
ent, but the evangelist is asking ev
ery father to bring his boy to
church wit/h him tonight, and every
boy to bring his father as the Tues
day night has been designated as
‘Tathers and Sons” night.
Another large congregation greet
ed Mr. Lovein last night and heard
him as he preached on “A man’s
nresent relationship to Jesus Christ.”
At the morning service today, the
evangelist spoke on “The sin of
nraverlessness” and said that the
oreat Jack and need that many chris
tians are experiencing is due to the
fact that they do not know how to
prav. “And the church of God is all
hut powerless in the world because
we do not know how to pray” ‘“We
are sorry advertisements of the good
ness of God, seeing that we are in
such great need and in such a
noverty stricken condition spiritual--
ly.”
There was another large number
of our business men at the morning
service and the evangelist seems to
be giving his very best to these
mornings congregations, making
those who attend feel more than paid
for any sacrifice they may have to
make in order to get there.

“When we consider that drunken
