GRAND DIRECTORS MEET.

Quietly and unknown to the men,
bership in the Falls Cities the semi
annual meeting of the Board of
Grand Directors of the Young Mems
Institute of the Atlantic Jurisdiction
was held in this city last Sunday.
Those in attendance were Robert T.
Burke, Grand President, of Louis
Vile; william ]. Madden, Chairman
of the board, of Indianapolis;
Francis j. Carroll, Grand Secretary,
of Brazil, Ind. The Grand Directors
here were e. A. Connell, of Cumber-
land, Md; Phil M. Canale, of Mem
phis, Tenn, and V. X. Ecker, of
Louisville. The reports of Grand
President Burke, the Grand Secre-
tary and Chairman of the Board of
Directors, indicated that the coun-
ellis of the Atlantic Jurisdiction,
which comprise all east of the
Mississippi river, are in excellent
shape. Membership rolls of all the
councils show a decided increase
since the Pittsburg convention last
August. The session lasted prac-
tically all day, during which time a
number of questions were discussed
that concern the future welfare OF
the Young Mems Institute. Never
before has the Y. M. /. been better
governed. and this gives reason for
a hopeful outlook for this most ex-
cellent society for our Catholic
young men.

HOME FOR GIRLS.

The ladies of the Board OF Di-
rectors OF the Catholic Woman's Club
wish to publicly acknowledge their
gratitude to the clergy, the business
men and all good people, Catholic
and Protestant alike, who have aided
the work of the Catholic Woman's
Club during the past year. 1t is
their greatest satisfaction to see that
the club work is being more gem
orally appreciated as II becomes
better known. AS a concrete exam
pie of this they are pleased to an
nounce that the membership has in
creased by 200 during the past few
months. Among these are some of
the most prominent citizens of
Louisville, whose association with
the club greatly encourages us.
During the past year the club has
been furnishing the comforts, pro-
lection, guidance and love of a good
Christian home to an average of
seventy-five working girls. In addi-
tion to this several hundred women
and girls passing through the city
have found shelter and friendship at
the home. The club has been instru-
mental in securing positions for
many girls, and many more have re-
ceived counsel and advice from the
matron. The board points to these
achievements not in a spirit of pride
and boasting, but that all who are
members, of the club or who have
helped in any way, may realize the
share they have had in this blessed
apostolate. They most sincerely hope
that this will be a stimulus to others
to identify themselves with the work
and have a part in the Divine bless
ing which must surely go with it.
This is the New Years wish ex-
tended to all friends and friends-to-
be, which they trust 1914 will bring
them.

and previous to the assignment Of
Father Brophy at this post the
Catholic services were conducted by
Father Volz. He is loud in his
praise of the splendid work done
by the Catholic Chaplains of the
United States army in the islands,
and hopes that permission may yet
be obtained from the Government to
build the chapel at the post. Father
Volz will return to the Philippine

81 ARRESTS ALL OF
ONE VARIETY MADE
THROUGH SPEED TRAP
Five Harrisburg AutOists Caught
by Squire Light, of
Annville

Activity on the part of the Motor
Club of Harrisburg in warning auto
lists of a speed trap at Annville has
put a crimp in an alleged hold-up
game that has been going on for some
time in the Lebanon county town.
A number of Harrisburgers have
been caught in the trap. The speed
limit through Annville is fifteen miles
an hour. East of Annville. where
there are no houses. autoists generally
speed up their cars about twenty
miles an hour. A constable, it is
said, is on watch along the road hid
ing in the bushes. He has a stop
watch. When an auto comes along
he takes the time, gets the number
of the car and then watches the car
until 1t reaches a certain point, when
the watch is again snapped and the
time taken.
After figuring the rate of speed the
constable marks 1t down in a book
and reports to Squire q. G. Light, of
Annville. Summons are sent out and
the autoists, no matter how remote,
make the trip and pay fine or appeal
from the decision of the squire.
81 Caught in Short Time
Within the past two weeks notices
were sent by Squire u. G. Light, of
Annville. to fifty-seven auto owners
in Lebanon, Lancaster and Dauphin
counties to appear at his office be-
tween last Friday and to-day and pay
fines of S12.75 each for violating the
speed laws. Previous to this notice
Squire Light, it is said, imposed a
penalty of $13.75.
Included in the fifty-seven victims
were five Harrisburgers, George l..
Edwards, j. II. Williamson, J. H.
Troup. James r. Haas and David
Kaufman. Two of the Harrisburgers
Edwards and Williamson, paid the
fine and costs. The others have ap-
pealed and placed their cases in the
hands of Gabriel Meyer, a former
member of the Legislature and q
prominent attorney of Lebanon. 1t is
planned to bring Squire Light into
court on a charge of conspiracy
AS soon as notice was brought to
Clyde Myton, secretary of the Motor
Club of Harrisburg, notices were sent
out to Harrisburg autoists to Re on
the lookout. Similar notices were

WIRELESS AMATEUR
HERE SENDS MUSIC
THROUGH THE ETHER
D. H. larger, of West End, Trans
mits Actual Tones to Friend
Near His Home

Sending familiar tunes by wireless
is the latest stunt of the aerial
vibrating wires as performed by a
Harrisburg amateur.
The feat was performed this week
by d. II. larger. 409-11 Kelker street,
who has been experimenting with
wireless apparatus for seven years, and
who, while still a youth, is going to
devote himself to this field. Young
Mr. larger has a complete wireless
station at his home and was one of
the first amateurs in the local field.
The stunt of sending tunes through
the air. it is believed. is the first time
anything of the kind has been accom-
plished on the wireless telegraph, al
though, of course, it has been done
on the wireless phone, which. how
ever, is still incapable of transmitting
a message any great distance. Law
renee Barnhart, 1887 Sixth street, who
also has a wireless station at his home.
had a number of friends at his home
recently and was explaining the mys-
teries of the apparatus.
Sounding for his friend larger. 400
yards away. he asked him to send a
message. Then larger got the idea of
sending the tunes. and also the way
to dc it. In regard to this point

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1S.-Ad-
dressing the American people, Presi-
dent Wilson to-day issued a state
war. warning citizens of the United
States against that deepest. most
subtle, most essential breach of neu-
trality which may spring out of par
tisanship, out of passionately taking
sides"
The Presidents statement follows:
MY fellow countrymen:-I sup
pose that every thoughtful man in
America has asked himself during the
last troubled weeks what influence
the European war may exert upon the
United States and I take the liberty of
addressing a few words to you in order
to point out that it is entirely within
our own choice what it's effects upon
us will be and to urge very earnestly
upon you the sort of speech and con-
duct which will best safeguard the
nation against distress and disaster.
Effect of War on u. S.
"The effect of the war On the United
States will depend upon what
American citizens say and do. Every
man who really loves America will
act and speak in the true spirit of
neutrality which is the spirit of inn
partiality and fairness and friendiness
to all concerned. The spirit of the
nation I'm this critical matter will be
determined largely by what indivi-
duals and society and those gathered
i'm public meetings do and say. upon
what newspapers and magazines con-
tain, upon what our ministers utter
I'm their pulpitS and men proclaim as
their opinions on the streets.
The people of the United States
are drawn from many nations and
chiefly from the nations at war. 1t
is natural and inevitable that there
should be the utmost '-ariety SYM
pathy and desire among them with
regard to the issues and circumstances
of the conflict. Some will wish one
nation, others another to succeed in
tn momentous struggle. 1t will be
easy to excite passion and difficult to
allay il. Those responsible for excit-
ing II will assume heavy response
