WILL BE CUT AWAY.
Benches viii Replace Grass Plots in
Vicinity of Dancing Pavilion.

Pen Mar, next year, will not pre-
sent the same appearance of previous
years, if plans which the w. NJ now
has in view materialize.
The small grass plots about the
dancing pavilion will be cut away and
benches placed in the spade they now
occupy.
The knobs are now used by dancers
as a resting place and as it is almost
impossible to keep the grass on them
in good condition, the elimination OF
them is proposed.
The change may lessen the attract
iveness of the park but it will afford
more commences for visitors by CIV
ing them more seating space.

Lutherans OF Maryland, Virginia.
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the
District of Columbia yesterday held
their 23rd annual reunion at Pen Mar
Park. While the weather was rather
unsettled, yet this did not deter the
people from these great Lutheran
states from journeying TO Pen Mar,
No rain fell at the park. For years
the Lutheran reunion has been the
largest held at Pen Mar. This year
the attendance was up to normal.
Trainmaster F. L. Brendle, of the
Western Mardland, stated his road
hauled about 5000 persons to the
famous resort. He placed the crowd
at about 10000.
AS usual the services were held in
the auditorium and the place was
filed.
At 1 o'clock the Pen Mar Orchestra
under the direction of Leader John c.
Boil, gave a concert for half an hour.
The exercises opened with prayer
by Rev. DR.. G.. w. Enders, of York,
who is chairman of the reunion COM
mittee. DR.. Enders presided. The
hymns, "All Hail The Power of Jesus
Name" and Elm, Feste Berg" were
sung by the audience. The 46th
psalm vas read responsibility by the
audience and Rev M L. Enders, of
Catonsvne, Md. Prayer was offered
by Rev. A. M. Heil-nan. OF Hanover.

exercises of the reunion. Mrs. C. M.
Eyster, of Baltimore, sang a salo.
The Great Lutheran Church.
The first speaker was Rev. C. s.
Trump, of Martinsburg. He took as
his subject 1.-THE Great Lutheran
Church" He said the Lutherans of
the world number 10000 900 and some
say 75,000,003. In the United States
the Lutherans number 100000 and
in numerical faith the LutheraDs
stand third in the United States. The
Methodists first and the Baptists Sec
ond. The Lutheran Church is we'll
organized and its principles are firm
and sound. 1t stands for justification
by faith. The church has Ii church
boards and so orphanages. 1t main
tains so theological seminaries. Nine
deaconess homes are under the guild
ance of the church and Is homes for
the aged. There are Is immigrant
missions and is Lutheran hospitals.
There are AZ colleges and nine ladies
seminaries, 40 academies. In the
journalists field there are 1877 publ
cations of Lutheran tendencies.
Upon the vital questions Of the day
the Lutherans have taken an active
part and are found in the front ranks.
Take the temperance, divorce, Sab
bath and reform questions and the
Lutherans will be found in the front.
Take the young peoples movemets
and the Lutheran Church will be
found to have fostered the movement
more than any other church.
The Lutheran Church is great be-
| cause of what it has accomplished
and beesuse of it's prospects. Because
of it's strength, its domain, It's church
policy.

French Budget

Forty Millions
Socialist Blames Naval Armaments
for Growth of Taxation in France
and Great Britain.

PARIS, Nov. ls.-France, like England
and Germany, is having its budgetary
crisis. More than $4O,OOO,OC0 additional tax
alton is carried in the pending budget, the
new taxes being principally levied on au-
tomobiles, tobacco, wines and inheritances.
In the last mentioned there is an increase
Of SO, 900, 900 over last year.
Much opposition has developed and the
liquor interests have already taken part
In one big public demonstration. Many
deputies shrink from meeting their oonsti-
tuents In the coming elections. Neverthe7
less the cabinet remains firm, eontending
that pending scheme for pen
sions and other popular measures involve
expenditures which Mould be met by tax
alton and not by loans. and has decided to
demand a vote OF confidence next week.
M. Juares, leader Of the socialists in the
Chamber Of Deputies, today laid the re-
sponsibiity for the present European
budget crises upon the crushing peace
ornaments" being maintained owing to
rivalry between Great Britain and Ger
many.
He declared that unless IL ceased II would
result in a general financial collapse, and
he urged the necessity Of an Anglo-Franco-
German entente, which would permit OF a
reduction In military expenditure in favor
Of social reforms.

Wireless Message Sent ALTO
Miles Across the Pacific
Liner Korea in Communication
With U. s. and Japan at the
Same Time

The long distance wireless record WaA
broken to smithereens last wednesday
when the operator on the Pacific Mail
liner Korea chRtted with the United Wire
less station in San Francisco. 4,72o miles
away.
This feat was the more remarkabls
because long distance wireless communi-
cation has been accomplished heretofore
with high-powered apparstus-that is
OF about rs to so kilowRtt power. II kilo-
watt being a thousand times the unit of
electrical power. The Korea's operator,
Mr.. Phelps, used an apparatus OF 5 kilo-
watt power,
Besides, the record-breaking message
was sent from the usual tower" aboard
a ship, less than 100 feet above the sea
level.
AS a result of this accomplishment, r.
+. Schwerin. Yice-President and manager
Of the Pacific Mail Company, will have
the United Wireless apparatus Installed
on all the liners OF his company. Mr..
schwerin believed that wireless was use
less on a ship Unless messages could be.
sent at all times for 1900 miles al least.
He was vastly surprised and pleased with
the Korea's message carried three times
that distance.
Another remarkable fact is that the
Korea was In wireless communication
with America and Japan at the same
time. The Korea sailed from Frisco Oct.
20. After stopping at Honolulu, her opera
tor sent this message on Nov. 2:
IS +. M,-2,205 miles west of Honolulu
In touch with Japan tonight. All wen."
At that time the distance from San
Francisco was 4,S05 miles. This message
was also picked up by the Government
wireless operator on Farrallon Island,
forty miles outside OF Golden Gate.
II was believed that this would be about
the limit OF the Korea's wireless capa-
bilities. but when at 8 o'clock Wednesday
evening a message was received al the
San Francisco station giving the teamer's
position at 2,622 miles west OF HonaIulu
or about 4,72O miles from San Francisco
the possibility of keeping In touch with
the ship until she reached the Chinese
coast began to be considered Mr.. Phelps.
talking with the operator In San Frapcisco
station, said he believed that, unless some
unexpected atmospheric conditions arose.
he would communicate with the west
coast Of the United states when the ship
tied up at her pier in Yokshama-New
