CELEBRATION OF
IDLE FURNACES IN
LEBANON COUNTY
Banner Raising Will Tell Voters
of Iron City What to Avoid
in November

William Draper Lewis, who with
drew as Washington party candidate
Tor Governor in favor of Vance G.
Mccormick. who stands for the Dem
ocratic tariff; Congressman Arthur r.
Rupley who has some queer ideas on
the tariff for this section, and some
Bull Moosers and Democrats are GO
ing to invade Lebanon county to-mor-
row night to speak at the raising of a
mule ticket banner. Mccormick will
be praised and the familiar Lewis
speech repeated.
The celebration will come at a pc
culiar time and has already been her
aided as in honor of the seven idle
furnaces of Lebanon county. Leba-
non has nine furnaces and the stacks
of but two are showing smoke.
Twenty-Five thousand tons of iron are
stored in the yards of the Pennsylva-
mia and Lackawanna Steel Companies
and the rolling mill men of Lebanon
are working two days a week.
The celebration comedies with the
suspension of the great plant of the
American Iron and Steel Manufacture
ing Company for the week. 1t closed
last night until Monday and its fur
ther operations are more or less un-
certain.
Lebanon. which used to be found
from afar by the pillar Of cloud by day
and by the pillar of fire from its fur
naces at night, is suffering from the
blight of the Palmer metal schedule.
Hence the banner-raising fits in as
an object lesson of what to vote
against.

LIVELY ROW
IN COUNCIL OVER
COPS APPOINTMENT
Commissioners Will Not Likely
Confirm the Mayors Appoint
ment of Kinley and Specials

Prospects for another very lively
row were of the brightest when City
Council met this afternoon in special
session.
The meeting did not begin until af-
ter o'clock but from an early hour
this morning the followers of the "3
to 2" divisions were getting ready for
ton of Jacob Kinley as a successor to
Andrew +. Murphy as a patrolman,
and of the special officers to serve dur
ing the firemen's convention next
week
Mayor John X. Royal last evening
announced a list of appointments of
special officers. The question of con-
hrmation must be solved by Council it
was learned by Commissioners Bow
man and Lynch after a conference
with City Solicitor Seitz. Both of the
commissioners refused to discuss the
probable action of Council this after
noon other than to say that they had
known nothing of the appointments
except what they had seen in the
papers.
Nor would the commissioners talk
on the possible outcome of the Muir
ply Kinley appointment.
Both declared they thought a pub
lie hearing should be given. Murphy
on the charges of insubordnation, etc,
preferred by Mayor Royal. 1t is un-
derstood that Commissioner NJ. Harvey
Taylor is of the same opinion.
Municipal circles to-day freely pre-
dicted the failure of Council to con-
firm Kinley at any rate, by at least Il
three to two vote.

afternoon met at the home of w. JUS
tin Carter, attorney, 527 Maclay street,
and organized a woman suffrage asso-
citation which will be an auxiliary to

president.
Mrs w. Justin Carter was elected

will be held in various homes through
out the colored sections of the city
during the fall to enlist recruits for
the cause. Each member will be eX-
pected to bring three visitors to each
parlor meeting. When the association
grows to the size where the renting
of a hall is warranted, arrangements
will be made to procure one.

Indian Troops Reach
France; German Right
Is Being Turned Back
Br Associnted Press

London, oct. 2. 1920 a. m.-Though
all reports seem to agree that the Ger
man right in France has been bent
back, the cautious tone of the brief
official statements indicates that the
battle of the Aisne is far from de-
cided and the British public, showing
the patience that has characterized it
since the outbreak of hostilities finds
a sentimental stimulus in the safe ar
rival of the fine Indian contingent on
French soif and the bull terrior-like
resistance of the Antwerpians, who,
headed by their king, seek to check
the German besiegers.
Whether two forts have fallen near
Antwerp, as the Germans insist, or
whether the Belgians have so far re-
pulsed the artillery onslaught is a
matter of conjecture here.
London papers, both editorially and
in their news columns, embellished
with pictures, make a feature of the
landing of the Indian troops and con-
gratulate the War Office on the sue-
cessful feat of moving away transports
from India without a single loss.
If the battle Of Craeok is in full
sway then it is unquestionably one of.
the greatest struggles of this war and
possible the forerunner of even more
colossal engagements which will rage
in Silesia. W
Nothing definite has been heard in
the last twenty-four hours of the
whereabouts of the German Emperorx
but Petrograd dispatches say he i
undoubtedly present at the engage
mentS on the East Prussian frontierg

troops have met reverses and are be<i

Peace Prayer With Knights UncOv-

Big Features

Never in the history of this city has
there been seen a more impressive,
more beautiful or more entertaining
ceremony than the first annual field
day exercises of Division No. 10.
knights Templar. held this afternoon
at Island Park.
Ideal weather conditions. perfectly
groomed and splendidly uniformed
men. beautiful women in the stands
and along the reviewing lines. to-
gether with stirring martial music,
made the event one long to be re-
membered.
While the entire program from the
parade to the island to the final review
was replete with interest, the features
that impressed the assembled thou
sands the most, perhaps. were the flag
raising and salute. the peace prayer
with the knights uncovered and the
inspection of the division by a. How
ard Thomas. grand commander of the
grand commandery of Pennsylvania.
The Peace Prayer
The peace prayer. offered by the
Rev. Harry Nelson Bassler. pastor of
the Second Reformed Church, was as
follows:
30 God. who hast made OF one
blood all nations of men to dwell
on all the face of the earth, and
who in Thy holy Word hast
taught us that One is our Father,
even God, and that we are all
brethren: We pray Thee in this
dark hour of international strife
that Thou wilt open the eyes of
the people and those who in Thy
name are intrusted with the au-
thority of government to see and
understand their right and true
L.. l.
Thee to one another. Teach them
by Thy Spirit that hatred and vio-
lence are not strength, but weak
ness; that the true safeguarding
of a nation is not to be found in
weapons of war, but in those eter-
nal principles which make for
righteousness and truth and
brotherhood and peace. Give to
those who shall suffer in the war
now raging the consultations of
Thy grace. Heal the sick; COM
fort the wounded; minister to the
dying: and bind up the broken
heart. Bring, we pray Thee, to a
speedy end this international
strife; and hasten the time when
Deace shall flourish upon the
earth. and all shall dwell together
in unity and love. and war shall
he no more. We ask ii in the
Name of our Saviour, Jesus
Christ. Amen"
