MA V FORCE CHIC A GO RANKS
TO MAKE UP BIG DEFICIT
By Private Leased Wire.
Chicago, June 6.—Political agents of
John R. Walsh, It Is reported today,
are endeavoring to mollify Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw In his demand that
the Chicago banka must get rid of
Walsh's depreciated paper at once and
make up the deficit of the wrecked
Chicago National Bank.
This demand. Is said to have been
made by Secretary Shaw last Friday In
consequence of alarm felt by the treas
ury department over the depreciation
In traction securities and other Insti
tutions of the Walsh failure as the
central knot. Secretary Shaw's request
to'the clearing house committee was
coupled with u hint that he would oth
erwise have to order some of the di
rectors to make good on the loan.
Following Mr. Shaw’s visit an at
tempt was made to form a syndicate
which would take over the Walsh se
curities and also advance money to
complete the railroads which they rep
resent. So Car the attempt has not
been successful.
The situation has become acute.
That the developments are serious Is
manifest because .if tin* friendship be
tween Shaw and Walsh nnd which
would probable prevent any federal
action not dictated by absolute neces
sities of the situation.

There will bo n grand rally of the

Thoee who attended, the 'Torrey-Alex
ander meetings, ministers, converts
and personal workers, are especially
Invited to be present. The organisa

ised, snd those who desire to become
members are requested to be on hand.
Talks will be made by some of the

Governor Northon a Latter.
"There will be a meeting of the Busi
ness. Men’s Gospel Union at the Wes,
ley Memorial church, corner Auburn
avenue and Ivy street, Tuesday eve
ning. at 7:30 o’clock.
"We are anxious to Increase the
membership of the union from the
ranks of Christian men who are will
ing to help the community to better
Christian living, and to aid In the sal
vation of the unsaved. We desire also
to broaden our activities through an
auxiliary organisation, to be composed
of the active Christian women of the
city.
"Persons .who will Join us are ask
ed to give names, street addresses and
church at the Tuesday evening meet
ing, or by post, If It Is not possible
for them to be present at that time..
"Reports will be made by the several
committees covering the resulta of the
recent Torrey-Alexander mission. All
of the officers for the ensuing year will
be elected, nnd the gospel union will
be entirely reorganised.
"The main business to be considered
will be the conservation of what we
have gained and the planning for an
uninterrupted campaign against evil,
looking to the strengthening of the
spiritual life of the churches and the
salvation of men from the penalty and
from the power of sin,
"There Is always more or less of a
decline In religious activity after a
revival, dependent upon the interest!
and efforts of the Christian community.
This we must prevent In this Instance
as far as It Is possible, with Ood’e
help We may be sure the devil Is go
ing to be fsr more active nnd com
plete, and his attacks nro made and
conducted on thoroughly systematic
plans. He does personal work more
thoroughly and far more effectively
than we can withstand without Ood’s
power to help. He not only works
personally, but through his agents and
representatives among the thousands
of men and women who arc In his
active service and employ. He never
sleep,. His lonr continued activity has
made him more than an adept In the
Interests of His kingdom.
"He will destroy the work that has
been accomplished If It comes wlth|n
the possibility of his powerT Nothing
short of the power of Ood can with
stand his evil machinations. This
power we can use If we but nsk for
tt. The devil will at once reorganise
and array all his forces for evil. The
deadly conflict Is on. nnd It must be
■war to the knlfo, and the knlfo to the
hilt,’ If we hold what righteously be
longs to the kingdom of God. We must
organise well and bo ready to do bat
tle In God’s name, and In God’s
strength, If we stand.
"The devil has already given out a
rubllc challenge that he will defeat
the Christian forces of this city with
in three months. We want the help
and counsel and guidance and prayer
»f all the pastors of this city, and the
sympathy and active co-operation of
those who have been converted during
the past four weeks.
"We must now be loyal to God and
helpful to humanity If we can be
counted at all worthy to be servant# of
the most high Ood.
"Let all the people who are willing
to help at this testing time be on
hand Tuesday night ahd plan a cam
paign under Ood for higher Ideals In
Christian life. May we not hope that
’wety Christian will take Ills place In
solid rank and bravely stand for the
glory of God and the coming of His
kingdom, absolutely without fear of
the devil, or his cohorts of sin.
