The Pres ident demands nothing less than th abandonment of submarine warfar against commerce. Both the President's address an* the American note declare in un equivocally that only by Germany ac ceding to the demand can the break ing off of relations be prevented. The President considers that th next step depends solely upon Ger many and that three or four day constitute a reasonable time for ; i reply. He is willing to discuss hov submarine warfare may be conduct ed within the limits of internationa law and humanity after German; abandons her present methods.

Since then his greatest trouble is to :EAT Ket a place large enough to seat the IE- people who come to hear him. At Orangeburg they built a huge building to seat 3,000 people, and it was 'Pen* seldom large enough to take care of e on the folk. There were 2,800 people ! who professed conversion at that ,v place. Wherever he has gone he has made a host of friends. All of his 3 meetings but one have been held in this State,but it is doubtful if he can ia be held here much longer, as calls p??" are coming for him from distant relist gtates Most of these he has refused, as he prefers to work among very his own people. However, he has rong promised a Northern city a cam3 paign during the coming summer." 3 on .. iting Bloomlngvale Personals.
