NOT TO BE DIVERTED BY WAR
Declares Preaching Of Energized
Morals Surpases Use of Sword.

The 115th session of the East Penn
sylvana Conference was formally opened
this afternoon at the Second United
Brethern Church. 59th and Catherine
streets. Two hundred delegates attended.
At the conclusion of his sermon, Bishop
W. NJ. Keewley read his report on the
increased membership of the organiza-
tion, due In part to the activities Of
the evangelistic meetings conducted by
Billy Sunday and the Rev. Dr. Henry
w. Bough, of Harrisburg. In his ad-'
dress at the meeting DR.. Bough said:
While the present war in Europe is
sad beyond description, yet l trust you
Will not allow it to divert your attention
from your duties as ministers. The
crowned heads in the war zone believe
/ nthe supremacy OF Christ but they have
wrong conception OF his religion. They
must come to see that the victory of
ChriSt's Kingdom is not achieved through
human might, or by the sword or can
nor. but by preaching of energized morals
through the holy spirit. When the war
is over there will be but two great pow-
ers in Europe-one for aristocracy and
one for democracy. One will stand for
the empires and the other for republics.
one viii demand increased armament and
the other VIII demand disarmament. Let
the people rule-for II the peoples will
Is carried out there will be no war.
Il am thankful that President Wilson
Is n man of peace and against armed con-
hict. The Peace Treaty recently signed
by the United States England, France
and Russia will consequently make war
Impossible. 1t is only question of time
when all the great Powers will enter in
the same compact. Even If war is dis
turbins the minds OF men We must be-
lieve that God Is still on the Throns and
that ne VIII bring an endto this terrible
conflict"

direction of Chief John r. Wolter. Well
known business establishments are in
cluded In the list OF alleged violators
of the elevator regulations. Fines OF
$50 and costs may be imposed on SUBJ
stantiation Of the charges.
Since last spring 407 freight elevators
have been condemned by the bureau in
spectors. In some Instances the elevators
were allowed to resume service after
designated repairs we're made.
The 30 suits that have now been in
stituted are declared by Chief Wolter to
result from continued disregard of warn
ings on the part of the persons notified
to place the elevators in safe condition.
Consequently Chief Wolter submitted the
list of owners and agents to City So

The Law Department was also re-
quested to take action for the Elevator
Bureau against 1903 persons alleged to be
operating elevators without certificates.

also be made to collect delinquent license
fees to the bureau for 1912 and 1913.
