Is it fair way to treat a cOngre-
CATION in a church for the preacher
TO virtually say that unless the peo-
pie obey the Boards, they are not for
Jesus Christ?
Rev Jesse Dodd has no more right
to say that the present methods of
tie Boards are Christs methods,
than you have to say that they are
not.
Jesse must remember that we
Baptists don't knuckle to any
Pope, and that We don't love to have
one Of our pastors identify himself
with the Almighty.
You have a right to your own
opinion as to what Christ meant
When he said, GO preach"
1t is true that in Mark the words
''Go teach" are used, but the very
next words show what sort Of teach
ing was meant.
The missionary was commanded to
60 and teach the law of Christ, as
Christ had taught it to the disciples.
The Book expressly says so.
Therefore, when you and l contend
that the missionary should confine
himself to the evangelical work
done by Paul, Silas, Barnabas, Tim
othy, Mark and Peter, we are stand
ing on the Book.
If Jesse Dodd wants to get off the
Book, and stand on the Boards
that's his privilege, but he has no
right to take advantage Of the pulpit,

Harrisburg ''In the
Middle" of Opposing
Armies; Battle on

Harrisburg, fguratively speaking
was more or less lin the middle" this
afternoon between the trenches and
the bridgeheau.
The military maneuvers that were a
feature of the big t1ree-day Municipal
Improvement Celebration held at
Reservoir to-day.
Companies D and I of the National
Guard and the Governors Troop parti-
cipated in the maneuvers and they
worked out on large scale a certain
problem that included the western en-
trance of the city via the Market
street bridge and the slopes of Reser-
Voir park.
The problem was this: The Gov
ernor's Troop was a "just-pretend'
cavalry vanguard or screen for the
army that was waiting somewhere
back of Jamestown. 1t had spent the
night there. Companies d and I were
the vanguard of the opposing hosts of
the enemy that had spent last night
in Mechanicsburg and were enroute
here to capture Harrisburg. The
cavalry mems job was to get possess
sion of the bridgehead If possible and
destroy the viaduct so the enemies
couldn't get into the city. Companies
D and 1 were to have the job of pre-
venting the Troop from getting pos
session of the bridgehead. On paper
that looks a cinch, doesn't its Military
that looks a cinch, doesn't it? Military
tough one and one we'll worth trytne
TO solve. Anyway the military COM
panies worked at it this afternoon
while thousands of folks watched ad
1Iiringly. How we'll one side or the
other succeeded can only be told when
the smoke of battle has cleared away
in other words when the referees
finish their lob.

Harrisburg should go in for some

AUSTRIA MUST
RECALL DUMBA
L. S. Is Not Satisfied With His
Departure on Leave of
Absence"
By Assoeiated Press

Washington, D. c., Sept 25.-Am-
bassador Penfield at Vienna has been
instructed to make clear to the Aus
trian Government informally that the
United States must insist on the re-
call of DR.. Dumba the Austrian am
bassador here and that his departure
'on leave of absence" would not be
satisfactory.
From messages exchanged between
AMBASSADOR Penfield and the State
Department, it is apparent that the
Austrian Government misunderstood
the desires of the United States. It
was intimated at first to Ambassador
Penfield that the Austrian Govern
ment might recall DR.. Dumba on leave
of absence and might desire safe con
duct for him. DR.. Dumba himself
telegraphed for such safe conduct a
few days later informing the State
Department he had been granted leave
of absence. No action was taken on
his request but it was forwarded to
Ambassador Penfield.
Instructions sent to Mr.. Penfield
were not disclosed but he has been
authorized to make it clear that DR..
Dumba's usefulness as the Austrian
Amba ssador to the United States has
ceased and that If given merely leave
OF absence" he would nevertheless still
remain accredited.
Inc rlSnt OF government to de-
mand the recall of an ambassador be-
cause of his personal acts is unques-
toned under international law, and
according to ocials, If the Austrian
government persisted in refusing to
recall DR.. Dumba passports could be
handed to him. There is no indica-
ton as yet that this will be necessary.

When Good Night" flashed in let
ters of red and green fire from the
island last evening at the close of the
fireworks display, the story of the
greatest water carnival Harrisburg
ever beheld became history.
The aquatic sports in the afternoon
attracted thousands of people who
crowded to the river parks, wall and
bridges.
But the crowning features were the
illuminated floats and the decorated
boat parade in the evening.
All Harrisburg crowded to the river
front but the thousands didn't restrict
themselves to the parks. the bridges
or even the front steps; they over
flowed even upon the long slopes of
the river banks. Just how many
thousands turned out under the moon
Is impossible to estimate. Officially
Harrisburg boasts of some seventy
thousand folks: sixty eight thousand
therefore ought to be fair estimate
of the number which "oh-ed' and
'ah-ed" while the bands played and

scared and the scores of gaily decor

CITY RANKS AMONG
FIRST IN COUNTRY
Expansion Along Building
Lines in Last Fifteen Years
Regarded as Wonderful

AS an example of the modern, pro-
gressive city, with no moss-covered
ancient ideas to clog its advance, Har-
risburg is now ranking among the
foremost municipalities of its size and
larger in the character of its buildings,
The growth in this respect has been
almost unbelievable in the last few
years and the constructive character
of the spirit of progress has given to
Harrisburg some of the most substan-
tial, well-built, attractive and complete
buildings and plants that can be found
anywhere. The majority of people do
not realize the great change that has
come over the city, and in the celebra-
ton over improvements are apt to
overlook one of the most important
phases of the city's development.
Buildings arc Substantial
On other pages to-day, the Tele-
graph presents a special feature of
some of the new, up-to-date buildings
which have been erected during the re-
cent improvement era. Although not
all the structures of this character in
the city are shown, enough of them
are given to impress the mind with the
fact that in building construction of
a safe. sane, solid nature, Harrisburg
ranks among the foremost cities as
does it also in so many other depart
ments of civic and business life.
Without the private enterprise
which has been shown in the replac-
ing of old sites with the newest and
best of buildings, Harrisburg's period
of rejoicing would have been lessened
to great extent. AS it was, the cup
of satisfaction is filed to overflowing
and these permanent markers of
growth and advancement will keep
ever present the knowledge that the
city is young in development. but that
this development is taking place in a
sturdy and unassailable way. The
large poster cards placed upon these
buildings by the Chamber of Com
merce have been an interesting feature
of the celebration and the number
which were put out indicate the tre-
mendous expansion in building activi-
ties which this city has witnessed dur
ing the last fourteen years.
