The Nazaretie revival, colidbeteik i’.v
the isistor and wife in the big tent! on
South Crockett street continues un-
abated. Yesterday was the greatest
day of all, so far In the morning scr-
vioe there was no sermon. While Mr.
Ireland and Rev. Hudson were render-
ing a solo, preceding the sermon, grace
und glory came on the congregation
and almost every one burstcd, Into
tears. While some praised the Lord
aloud, the pastor extended an invita-
tion to those who desired to do so, to
route forward and seek the laird. A
large number responded, some of whom
were brightly converted.
Mrs. Hudson preached last night,
taking as a text, “Where Art Thou?”
The tent was packed and many stood
•u tlve outside. The preacher held up
sin in its hideousness and at the same
time exposed those who were hiding
behind flimsy excuse* with which
many try to justify themselves in sin.
Two were converted in tills service.
A ides' class was taken into the church
uud a hundred dollars was raised to

Ambassador Gerard is no alarmist.
Ambassador tJerard Ls no jingo. Nei-
ther Is he a tool of the Wall street In-
terests uor a predatory munition man-
ufacturer. So when Ambassador Ger-
ard tells these United States of ours
that the German menace is real, actual
and Immediate It behooves all good
Americans to stop, look and listen a
lot.
When -I asked Ambassador Gerard
as to what seemed to him the most
important phase of our national prob-
lem bis answer wus rharacterlstlcally:
“Germany.
“Germany/* he went on, “has mo-
bilized and put into the field, in ne-
tual war service, 13.000,000 men. Of
these 13.000,000 men 1.350.000 have
been killed, 350,000 permanently dis-
abled. All the rest that have been
wounded or disabled have returned to
and are now with the colors. And that
leaves 11,350,000 troops that the Ger-
mans now have in the field. These
figures nre not guhsswork; they are ap-
proximately exact.
Ha* Increased Her Navy.
“And furthermore,” he continued, for
the bqd news was nut yet over, “dur-
ing the jiast thirty-two months Ger-
niuny has been enlarging and increas-
ing her navy untibit is greater in size
and form Liability than ever before,
And tlint, too, these United States of
ours hare challenged to a life and
death combat.
“Wherefore doesn't it seem to you,
since the United States lias align-
ed Itself against a nation so pre-emi-
nently powerful, so terribly efficient
and so absolutely ruthless as the Ger-
man nation ls and has shown Itself to
he, that the United Stales should make
every effort to equip itself In every
way to face so tretneudous n menace?"
1 nodded, and profoundly. It did! It
certainly did!
“But,” I queried, "isn't there any
chance ot its 1 icing only a short war?
Tho shortage of food”—
"Is something that can’t, he rolled
upon," lie interrupted. “One good har-
vest will put Germany back upon her
‘feet. A good harvest every year will
keep her ou her feet. And accidents
are always liable to happen. Further,
more, while .civilians all through Ger-
many are feeling the pinch of the food
shortage the troops are kept fed.
Warn* Againat Short War Idea.
“One thing I want particularly to
warn my countrymen against is tha
so called short war Idea. It was this
fallacy that so seriously crippled
France, that so seriously crippled Eng-
land, in their preparations for tbelr
struggle with Germany. They thought
it was going to be only a short war,
so they made tbelr preparations only
from day to day, from month to month.
It is not for Us to fall into this same,
(his obvious, error. T^ere is no indi-
cation that this will lie a short war.
On the other hand, it looks as though
it would be a very long war—a long
war and a bitter war.
“For this, first money and supplies.
Credit to the allied governments and
everything that, from our vast re-
sources, we can supply them.
“And then universal military train-
ing. The volunteer system is no good.
In times of national need it lias always
broken down, as it will always break
down, because it is economically and
psychologically unsound. Conscription
is good as far (as it goes, but it does
not go far enough. The one thing, and
the only one thing, that will give us
the number of (rained soldiers that we
must have is universal military train-
ing. And that is what all of us here
in America must strive to gain.
“Furthermore, I want to impress,
and impress ns hard as I know how,
because it is most important, the pres-
ent tone of the German spirit It is
cruel. It is brutal. It is bitter.
“With the Germans this is a war of
Hate, with a capital 1L They are to
win if they can. To win they are go-
ing to use all tbelr resources, every
means in their power, fair or foul or
even worse. They are going to fight
with every man, with every gun, with
every ship, with every means and ev-
ery agent that lie in their power to use.
“That is what we face, not a short
War, hut a long war, and a bitter one;
not a broken nation, but a strong,
cruel country capable of taking and
giving many a grievous blow; not a
disorganized nation, short of men and
supplies. Luf possessing, still .the gjrnt-
of good things.
