BY BEY. CHARLES STELBLE. NEW YORK. April 11. —Can Billy I Sunday make good in New York? His critics have been sating New York will be his Waterloo, and that what got across elsewhere would not go here. But even Billy himself thought the same thing a couple of years ago. and frankly fought shy of an evangelistic I campaign in the world’s biggest city. I And yet Sunday has been literally forced into the fight in New York. He has been drawn into it in spite of him self and “Ma.” for “Ma” Sunday feared this big town as much as Billy did and she <iid all she could, at one time, to keep him out of it. But Billy Sunday is here —his great revival opened this week—and lir’s go ing to have the fight of his life—and he knows it. And New York will also know it before he gets through. Billy believes that forces which have been opposing him in his campaigns 'n other cities are to make a united attack upon him here, and that they have raised a fund of half a million dollars to discredit him not only with the pub lic. but with the church people. I have often heard Sunday use the picturesque language for which he is famous, but when, in his first address, he paid his respects to the crowd that is after his scalp, for the first time I since I've heard him. he hesitated be cause even his choice vocabulary did not contain words numerous and forceful , enough to characterize the men he was * •"trimming.” Standing on top of his little pulpit he dared them to come on and do their | “dirtiest.” The way Sunday proposes to do this lis not by preaching a “new gospel.” In his very first address, delivered to 20,000 < people, he declared: *T bring you nothing new. I'm an j old-fashioned preacher of the old-time ' religion. I have no use for the doc | trine of the universal Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.” And when ”Rody." Sunday's leader of the music, sang his first solo, he se lected one about the “old-fashioned faith." in which he warned his hearers to •’flee from the terrors of hell.” •'This wrold is going to hell so fast she's breaking the speed limit," said Sunday. Here. then, is the keynote of th’s ■ reatest of moe’ern evangelistic cam paigns in America’s biggest city. It’s the old-time religion that “was good enough for mother,” and which its ex ponents say “is good enough for me.’’. And the most experienced “observera " i —theological professors, social workers, church officials, professors of psychol ogy—are watching the campaign with i critical eye. not necessarily opposed to | it. but intensely interested in learning j how the message and the method which > *ot across in other .cities will get across n what is everywhere admitted to be the hardest city in America to reach with any kind of campaign. Sunday made his first big hit with the crowd when he said that after his workers are paid and all legitimate ex penses are met. every dollar of the “free will offering” will ko to the work of the Red Cross society and the army work ers of the Young Men's Christian asso ciation. It will be interesting to watch the out come of this batle royal during the next three months. Next to the war. it will be the biggest feature engaging the at • tention of the metropolis. More than this, the Sunday campaign I will attract the attention of the Chris | tian forces of the world, because this is the most highly organized and in some I respects the most important evangelistic campaign conducted in the recent his tory of the church. Back of the campaign are some of the most prominent and successful business men in this country. They are putting ‘ into it all the genius that made their own enterprises stand out in the cont : mercial world. Actively engaged Bs committeemen and special workers are some of the best known religious leaders on two hemispheres. I saw on the platform at the open ing meeting men who are famous the world over. And way back at the rear, scarcely observed even by those near him. modestly sat John D. Rockefeller. Jr., who. with several other men of great wealth, are members of the com mittee responsible for the Billy Sunday campaign Whatever the genius of experts could furnish or money could buy. which was regarded as necessary to make this cam paign win. has been supplied. And so New York, which has been called “The Graveyard of Preachers.” because almost every minister of promi nence who came here to “save New York” has soon been buried out of sight —New York, which listened for a few days to Dowie of Zion City, then laughed and forgot him —New York, which caused even Moody, the greatest evan gelist of the last generation, to seem to have finally lost his grip—New York, the city to which everybody wants to go before they go to heaven —New Vork has Billy Sunday to see if he cannot "save it from hell." IHE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1917 An Open Letter to YOU From Woodrow Wilson WASHINGTON. April 16.—Fresh im pel us was given to the nation-wide cam paign for more food crops today by President Wilson’s plea for unity of ac tion in furthering America’s success in the world war. The president appealed to all the peo ple to join In making the nation a unit for the preservation of its ideals and for the triumphs of democracy, but he laid emphasis on his words urging the grow ers to concentrate their energies on the planting of food so that the United States might fuirin its task of feeding the armies and peoples who are fighting Germany. To the southern farmer the president appealed earnestly that the high price of cotton be forgotten for the time and that abundant food crops also be planted. “The southern farmer can show his patriotism in no better or more convinc ing way.” he said, “than bj’ helping, upon a great scale, to feed the nation and the peoples everywhere fighting for their liberities and our own. The va riety of their crops will be the visible measure of their comprehension of their national duty.” •Without abundant food, alike for the armies and the peoples at war,” the president said, “the whole great en terprise upon which we have embarked will fail. Upon the farmers of the coun try. therefore, in large measure rests the fate of the war and the fate of the nations.” THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS The address follows: ”My Fellow Countrymen: The en trance of our own beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democra cy and human rights which has shaken the world creates so many problems of national life and action which call for immediate consideration and settlement that 1 nope you will permit me to ad dress to’ you a few words of earnest counsel and appeal with regard to them. “We are rapidly putting our navy upon an effective war footing and are about to create and equip a great army, but these are the simplest parts for the great task to which we have addressed ourselves. There is not a single selfish element, so far as I can see, in the cause we are fighting for. We are fighting for what we believe and wish to be the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world. To do this great thing worthily and successfully we must devote ourselves to the service without regard to profit or material advantage and with an energy and intelligence that will rise to the level of the enterprise itself We must realize to the full how great the task is and how many things, how many kinds and elements of capacity and service and self-sacrifice It in volves. OUR DUTIES. “These, then, are the things we must do, and do well, besides fighting—the things without which mere fighting would be fruitless: “We must supply abundant food for ourselves and for our armies and our seamen not only, but also for a large part of the nations with whom we have now made common cause, in whose support and by whose side we shall be fighting. ,r We must supply ships by the hun dreds out of our shipyards to carry to the other side of the sea, subma rines or no submarines, what will every day be needed there, and abundant ma terials out of our fields and our mines to clothe and equl our own forces on land .and sea, but also to clothe and and our factories with which not only support our people for whom the gal lant fellows under arms can no longer work, to help clothe and equip the armies with which we are co-operating in Europe, and to keep the looms and manufactories there in raw material: coal to keep the fires going in ships at sea and in the furnaces of hundreds of factories across the sea; steeP out of which to make arms and ammunition both here and there: rails for worn-out railways back of the fighting fronts: locomotives and rolling stock to take the place of those every day going to pieces; mules, horses, cattle, for labor and for military service; everything with which the people of England and France and Italy and Russia have usually sup plied themselves but cannot now afford the men, the materials or the machinery to make. PROLIFIC INDUSTRIES. “it is evident to every thinking man that our industries, on the farms, in the ship yards, in the mines, in the fac tories, must be made more prolific and more efficient than ever and that they must be more economically managed and better adapted to the particular requirements of our task than they have been; and what I want to say is that the men and the women who de vote their thought and their energy to these things will be serving the coun try and conducting the fight for peace and freedom just as truly and just as effectively as the men on the battle field or in the trenches. The industrial forces of the country, men and women alike, will be a great army—a notable and honored host engaged In the service of the nation and the world, the efficient friends and saviors of free men everywhere. Thousands, nay, hun dreds of thousands of men otherwise liable to military service will of right and of necessity be excused from that service and assigned to the fundamental, sustaining work of the fields and fac tories and mines, and they will be as much part of the great patriotic forces of the nation as the men under fire. “I take the liberty, therefore, of ad dressing the word to the farmers of the country and to all who work on the farms; The supreme need of our own nation and of the nations with which we are-co-operating is an abun dance of supplies, and especially of foodstuffs. The importance of an ade quate food supply, especially for the present year, is superlative. Without abundant food, alike for the armies and the peoples now at war, the whole great enterprise upon which we have em barked will break down and fail. APPEALS TO SOUTH. “The world's food reserves are low. Not only during the present emergency, but for some time after peace shall have come, both our own people and a large proportion of the people of Europe must rely upon the harvests in America. Upon the farmers of this country, therefore, in large measure rests the f ate of the war and the fate of the nat-dns. May the nation not count upon them to omit no step that will increase the produc tion of their land or that will bring about the most effectual co-operation In the sale and distribution of their products? The time is short. It Is of the most imperative importance that everything possible be done and done Immediately to make sure of large har vests. T call upon young men and old alike and upon the able-bodied boys of the land to accept and act upon this duty—to turn in hosts to the farms and make certain that no pains and no labor is lacking in‘this great matter. “I particularly appeal to the farmers of the south to plant abundant food . stuffs as well as cotton. They can GEORGIA SENATORS COMMEND WILSON’S APPEALTO PEOPLE They Term It “Supreme Test of Nation" and Urge Farm ers to Raise Ample Surplus of Food BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. April 16. —Senators Smith and Hardwick issued statements to the people of Georgia commending to their attention President Wilson’s splendid appeal to their patriotism in “the supreme test of the nation." The senators are especially anxious that the farmers of Georgia shall heed the ap peal of the president and raise a sur plus of foodstuffs and cattle to the end that our own people and the people of ouf allies shall be abundantly supplied during the war. Both of the senators point out in their statements that by diversifying their crops the fanners of Georgia not only will render patriotic service to their na tion, but will make themselves inde pendent. The statement of each senator is ad dressed to the people of Georgia. Sena tor Smith's follows: SENATOR SMITH’S STATEMENT. 1 cannot too earnestly express my admiration of the splendid appeal of the president to the patriotism and good sense of our people. I especially appreciate that part of his address which is made to the farming interests and the farmers of the south. Over 20,000,000 of met* are under arms. The threatened shortage of food supplies is Imminent. Georgia can raise foodstuffs. This year they will certainly bring good prices. It is an opportunity for our farmers to diversify their crops, raise hogs and general food supplies. It is the part of patriotism as well as wisdom for them to do so. 1 join in the president's appeal and trust my immediate constitu ents will heed it.’ Following is Senator Hardwick’s ap peal : SENATOR HARDWICK'S STATE MENT. To the People of Georgia: 1 desire to invite your earnest at tention to the address of the presi dent of the United States published this morning. President Wilson states with extraordinary clear ness and strength the duties, op portunities and obligations resting upon our people in the great emer gency with which the nation is now confrontted, and 1 commend to your careful and earnest consideration his wise advice. It seems to me that the attention of the farmers of Georgia ought, above all others, to be specially directed to the sug gestions. Even in the absence of war Geor gia can never attain the real great ness and prosperity for which na ture has so munificently fitted her until the farmers shall diversify the crops and raise enough foodstuffs of all and every description to make the state self-sustaining. In doing this the size of her cotton crop will be necessarily curtailed and its price thereby increased. The farmer will also be enabled to sell it when he pleases and whenever the market suits him. for since it will be a sur plus crop he can make it practically free from debt. If such is the truth even in times of peace, how much more important it is now that the country has em barked in the world war and food supplies everywhere are the small est in many years, for our farmers to raise enough cattle of all kinds and to make enough foodstuffs of all sorts to make our own state self supporting and self-sustaining and then have as much surplus as possi ble for the consumer elsewhere. It seems tc me that this is their im perative and pressing duty and that in the discharge of that duty every farmer in Georgia should aid. I com mend. of course, the president’s word to all classes of our citizens, but it seems to me that he has pointed the way that our farmers should take and that it is a path ) which their own interests and pros perity. as well as the national se curity and well being, unite in urg ing them to take. This year’s crops are now being planted in Georgia and the time to follow this advice is now. show their patriotism in no better or more convincing way than by resisting the great temptation of the present price of cotton and helping, helping upon a great scale, to feed the nation and the peoples everywhere who are fighting for their liberties and for our own. The variety of their crops will be the visible measure of their comprehension of their national duty. “The government of the’l'nited States and the governments of the several states stand ready to co-operate. They will do everything possible to assist farmers in securing an adequate supply of seed, an adequate force of laborers when they are most needed, at harvest time, and the means of expediting ship ments of fertilizers and farjn machinery, as well as of the crops themselves when harvested. The course of trade shall be as unhampered as It is possible to make it, and there shall be no unwar- A HEALTH TALK By DR. W.

This is our op portunity to demonstrate the efficiency of a great democracy and we shall not fall short of it! MIDDLEMEN ARE WARNED. "This, let me say to the middlemen of every sort, whether they are handling manufacture or our raw materials of manufacture or the products of our mills and factories: The eyes of the country will be especially upon you. This '.s your opportunity for signal service, ef ficient and disinterested. The country you. as it expects all others, to forego unusual profits, to organize and expedite shipments of supplies of every kind, but especially of food, with an eye to the service you are rendering and in the spirit of those who enlist in the ranks, for their people, not for them selves. 1 shall confidently expect you to deserve and the confidence of people of every sort and station.” “To the men who run railways of the country, whether they be managers or operative employes, let me say that the railways are the arteries of the na tion's life and that upon them rests the immense responsibility of seeing that those arteries suffer no obstruction of any kind, no inefficiency or slackened power. To the merchant let me suggeat the motto: ‘Small Profits and Quick Service.’ and to the shipbuilder the thought that the life of the war depends upon him. The food and the war sup plies must be carried across the seas, no matter how many ships are sent to the bottom. The places of those that go down must be supplied and supplied at once. To the miner let me say that he stands where the farmer does; the work of the world waits on him. If he slackens or fails, armies and states men are helpless. He also is enlisted in the great service army. The manu facturer does not need to be told, I hope, that the nation looks to him to speed and perfect every process, and I want only to remind his employes that their service is absolutely indispensl ble and is counted on by every man who loves the country and its liberties. "Let me suggest, also, that every one who creates or cultivates a garden helper and helps greatly, to solve the problem of the feeding of the nation, and that every housewife who practices strict economy puts herself in the ranks of those who serve the nation. This is the time for America to correct her un pardonable fault of wastefulness and extravagance. Let every man and ev ery woman assume the duty of careful, provident use and expenditure as a pub lic duty, as‘a dictate of patriotism which no one can expect ever to be excused or forgiven for ignoring. "In the hope that this Statement of the needs of the nation and of the world in this hour of supreme crisis may stimulate those to whom it comes and remind all who need reminder of the solemn duties of a time such as the world has never seen before, I beg that all editors and publishers everywhere will give as prominent publication and as wide circulation as possible to this appeal. I venture to suggest, also, to all advertising agencies that they would give it wirespread repetition. And I hope that clergymen will not think the theme of it an unworthy or inappro priate subject of comment and homily from their pulpits. “The supreme test of the nation has come. We must all speak, act and serve together! "WOODROW WILSON.” London Press Praises Appeal of President LONDON. April 16.—President Wil son's appeal to the American peo>ple is given great prominence in the evening newspapers which printed the proclama tion textually. “It goes straight to the heart of the great war problem.” says the Westmin ster Gazette, "and will be read with great appreciation by the allied nations. "No message addressed by their gov ernments to any of the countries at war.” adds the newspaper, “has better combined an appeal to the heart with shrewd, practical counsel and shown a keener eye to the fundamentals of the situation.” Coroner Taylor Dead; Had Some Funny Ideas About Souls and Ladies RICHMOND, Va., April 14.—Dr. Wil liam H. Taylor, aged eighty-two. former state chemist, for a generation coroner of Richmond, died heer this afternoon. He was celebrated as an amateur astron- . omer and quaint philosopher. He got into a sharp controversy a few years ago by expressing his opinion, in a medical college class lecture, that the soul, if there was one, resided in the brain and possibly died with it. Coroner Taylor, a bachelor, got into disfavor also with many persons who resented his contention that the female form is a misshapen and weakly con s.ructed work of nature.

DECATUR, Ga., April 14.—Friday night more than two thousand farmers in the school houses of ten militia dis trict of DeKalb county heard business men of Atlanta and Decatur, and from the other towns of the county and sev eral speakers from the colleges and uni versities of this section explain the food situation that now exists. Hooper Alexander, Prof Dender, of Oglethorpe and about forty other speak ers went out into the county and preach ed the patriotism of the farm. The farm ers were told that the greatest need of the nation was food supplies for Ameri ca and America’s allies in Europe. Reports coining into Decatur board of trade headquarters Saturday morning showed that every school house was filled. In many instances the speakers were compelled to go out of doors because th" houses would not hold the crowds of farmers. Local committees in each sec tion were organized. These men will see that every farm is used to its limit. W. W. Mendenhall said that not a farm in the northern end of the country would be allowed to lay idle this year. Local seed exchanges were formed. Surplus supplies of one seed will be ex changed for some other seed that the farmer is short. Hundreds of bushels of seed have been located and with the aid of these local exchanges the farmers will be able to secure many seeds that can not now be had on the open market. The destitute white renter and the ne gro farmers of the country are receiv ing the attention of these local commit tees, and will be provided with seed as fast as the seed is located. It is evident that the men of the rural sections are back of the Chamberlain se lective conscription bill. They realize the necessity of keeping their boys on the farm. The farmer is ready and will ing to do his duty, wherever it may be. and they are willing to leave it to the president in this crisis. The situation now seems brighter. It is only a question of financing the desti tute farmer until the first food crcps are in. “In my trips over the county, talking to farmers from every section, I find a willingness to all that can be done," said Lovelace Eve, secretary, Saturday. “WeJieed the co-operation of the business men. There are many farmers facing want because of the loss by the February and March freezes. It is a question of tiding these fellows over until the first food crops of June are in. Tn some places I find nothing in the homes and all the cribs are empty. We need as sistance and need it now.” ffee Operations The Right Medicine in Many Cases Does Better than the Surgeon’s Knife.
