been operating against them for the past
three days. There was no indication of
where the battery would go or how it
would operate, no instruction being given
to the officers before starting. The Dis
trict battery Is working with Battery G
Of the New York National Guard.
Yesterday the supposition was that the

against them between Wilkesbarre and
Pecono Lake As the command left
Tobyhanna. scouts reported that a Blue"
force Of all arms had reached Warner
town and was advancing in the direction
of the plank road. The Red COM
mander decided to occupy a position on
the Drinker pike road and sent his
wagon trains of supplies. via Gouldshoro
to Scranton.
The two batteries were ordered to ec-
cupy a position in observation on Bat
tery hill.
Went Into Action.
Otter leaving the Drfnker pike to take
its position the District battery encoun-
tered particularly bad roads, the cannon
GERS being forced to dismount. Every mo
ment they expected to see the guns and
caissons tip over. Notwithstanding the
bad ground Travelled. the battery unlim-
bered and went into action without con-
fusion. The special details were first to
get out their telephone lines and estab-
lish communication between the battery
ana the observation station.
Capt vegt was the first to fire. and his
target was a line Of advancing infantry.
One of his shots cut the telephone wires.
which were strung in front Of the line OF
FIRE, and the firing had to be stopped un-
til they were repaired. Once again dur
ing the firing the line of communication
was cut by shell and fire stopped. Quite
frequently the fire had to be halted on
account Of automobiles and wagons using
the road. The battery was just of the
pike and the shots would have swept any
traffic away.

Can Be Considered Now.

"As Congress 10 to be kept in Wash
ington on account of the unsettled con-
ditions in Europe. there Is no reason
why the Philippine bill should not be
considered now.
THE bill declares the purpose of the
people Of the United States to grant the
Philippines complete independence as
soon as they establish a stable gov
ernment in the islands. To better at
them to govern themselves, the bill
gives them a larger measure of par
ticipation in the governmental affairs
of the islands. It abolishes as such the
Philippine commission, which Is now
appointed by the President, and sub
stitutes for It an elective senate"

Cardinals Absent.

he received the message from Cardinal
Merry del Val announcing the grave con-
dition Of the Pope. He took the night
train for Rome. but shortly after leav-
ing Naples q dynamite bomb exploded
in the train, wounding ten of the passen-
gers The cardinal was not injured, but
was obliged to wait for the next train.
Cardinal Vannutelli Is almost blind. Is
stone deaf and so weakened by nervous
prostration, from which he has suffered
for years. that 1t Is possible he may
not be able to perform the functions OF
his Office in which case Cardinal Agliardi,
sub-dean of the Sacred College, Will take
his place.
Cardinal Sebastian Martinelli. prefect
Of the congregation Of rites, is Ill at
Genzano. He is suffering from q mental
afhiction and it is doubtful whether II
would be possible for him to attend the
conclave, and If he does, whether ne Will
be allowed to vote.
The constitution governing the conclave
makes provision for incapacity on the
part of cardinal through illness. In
such case a deputation is sent to take
the cardinals vote. But the constitution
does not provide for mental incapacity.
Cardinal Diomede Falconio. former
apostolic delegate at Washington, was at
Velletri taking possession OF MS diocese
when he was summoned to Rome. He
took a train Immediately and on arriving
can. where he found the bronze doors
shut. An order had been issued to the
guard to allow no one to pass, but his
insistence was SO determined tnat he was
permitted to enter. He went to the room
of the pontin and thus was able to see
him before he expired.
An Affecting Scene.
Another affecting scene occurred in the
death chamber when Mgr. Parolin, the
Pope's nephew, reached the chamber,
was assisted to the bedside of the pontiff
and kissed his hand and forehead.
The Pope's brother, Angelo Sarto. had
not yet left Milan when he was informed
of the pontiffs death. He burst into
tears. exclaiming 1.-The will of God be
DONE
He then left for Rome with his son-in-
law.
Formal ceremonies in connection with
the death of the Pope occurred on the
arrival of Cardinal Della Volpe, who was
received at the Vatican by the papal sec
retary. Part of the ceremonies consisted
of official recognition of the Pope's death.
Amid deep silence the chamberlain
sprinkled the body with holy water, at
the same time thrice calling the Pope
by name, Giuseppe Sarto. Then turning
to those VINO knelt by the bedside he an
nounced solemnly: THE Pope is really
dead"
Pope's Sister Not Dead.
LONDON, August 21.-An erroneous
statement was made public In London
late last night and telegraphed to New
| York that Anna Sarto. sister Of the late
Pope Piux x. had died in Rome shortly
after the passing away Of her brother.
Shock caused by the pontiffs end was
given as the cause.
1t appears today that this report was
the result of telegraphic error which
occurred in the transmission of dis
| patch from Rome The Pope's sister is
| alive. although suffering from shock.
| She was already indisposed when the
| pontiff was taken i'll and yesterday she
| was obliged to take to her bed. She is

encourage his patient, but without sue
cess. Every time no waa informed OF

came sadder. Tho news hurt him phys

His malady reached him not unexpected

when he was already tired. and in the
most critical period of his depression.
The Pope's physical strength. Dr..
other serious physical crises. but he
collapsed when to the illness OF his
body was added his mental distress
over the horrors Of the war. The
doctor does not say the pontihs death
was induced by his anguish. but he
resisted longer had he not been subject
to this mental suffering.
When the doctor insisted that his
health was precious to the world and
that he should be calm. the Pope re-
piled: How can I be tranquil when
millions of men are about to die? I
should have averted this war. but I
could not If /. who have the highest
ministry of peace. do not protect the
safety Of so many young lives, who will
do so?"
To the continued urgings Of his doc
tors that he be tranquil the pontin
answered: II cannot help it; suffer for
all those who will die on the field of
battle"

May Ask Mediation.

headed by Cardinal Agliardi. a movement
IL under way to have the Sacred College
OF Cardinals address the emperors, kings
and president of the countries engaged i'll
war. asking them to declare a truce
while the new pontiff is being elected.
This plan, as well as the proposition 10
attempt mediation. provides for the as
sistance of the United States as the
greatest neutral power.
The greatest efforts are being made by
the cardinals here to prevent the con-
clave's presenting a spectacle Of schism
among the foreign cardinals on account
of the conflict now waging throughout

HEBREW IN JERUSALEM.
Government Takes yActon Against
Notices Printed in Hebrew.

Government Takes NAction Against
Notices Printed in Hebrew.
Jerusalem, July 1.-The Turkish
government has issued orders against
posting notices in Hebrew upon the
dead walls of cities of Palestine. The
action is believed to indicate concern
on the part of the authorities over
the remarkable revival of the Hebrew
language.
Although up to thirty years ago
classic Hebrew was not ordinarily
used by the Jews of Palestine, it is
now the common language of tens Of
thousands of people in Palestine. 1t Is
the medium of instruction in many
schools, newspapers, street car tick
cts and shopkeepers' signs are in
Hebrew 1t is therefore apparent that
the authorities will have a hard time
if they propose to check the spread
Of the language.
The revival of the pure Biblical
tone has been, in a measure, forced
on the Palestine Jews for reasons
apart from the sentimental Immigra-
ton from other parts of the world,
particularly Of the 1900 YidGish-
speaking Jdws from Russia some
years ago, made a common means OF
communication necessary. Yiddish is
not understood by the natives here,
while all Jews know something of
Hebrew.
The Zionist movement aimed at
restoring Palestine to the Jewish race,
has done much to finance the He
brew schools, and is now raising a
fund to endow a Hebrew university
at Jerusalem.

ARE FOR WILSON
STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUB
Lie INSTRUCTION WILL BE
CHOSEN.

The Norman Transcript took frors
its exchanges a few brief comments
on Supt. R. II. Wilson, which are OF
sufficient interest to be reproduced
in The Ardmoreite.
Supt.. Wilson deserves reelection,
and some of the educators of the
state are of the opinion that he will
get 80 per cent of the democratic
votes on the fourth of August.
Here is what The Transcript has
to say:
State superintendent r. II. Wilson
Jwho is a candidate for denomination,
has made a most enviable record.
He has shown to the people OF the
state that he is not afraid of the book
trusts. He has constantly fought for
fewer textbooks. The legislature in
vestigated his record thoroughly and
reported not one word of criticism

ments from the press of the state:
The progress made by our schools
during Mr.. Wilson's term of office
has been greater than that of any of
the older states for ten years.-Guth-
rie Leader.
There is cause for general rejoic-
ing in the fact that the state educa-
tional department has granted the
prayers of the state teachers 'associa-
ton that the appointment of teach
ers in the state schools be made IN
der the merit system.-Daily Oklaho-

Supt. Wilson has accomplished a

tain
Under Supt. Wilson's administra-
tion the state schools have been run
more economically than formerly and
his relation to the common schools
has been efficiently maintained-Mar-
