Moore Outlines Plans

State superintendent Moore and
Homer w. Tope, ID. D., superintendent
OF the Philadelphia district, were two
OF the prominent speakers in the
churches yesterday. DR.. Moore ad-
dressed the congregations OF Market
square Presbyterian Church in the
morning and Grace Methodist in the
evening; while DR.. Tope was heard in
both Augsburg and Christ Lutheran
Churches.
DR.. Moore made a very forceful ad-
dress at Market Square, outlining the
plans OF the league and its work for
THIS year. He stated that the fight is
a clearly defined one between the ma
tionally organized liquor forces and
the anti-forces represented by the
churches and federated bodies, but
that in the final victory the laurels will
be placed upon the church.
lie chose as his text the biblical in
cldent OF centuries ago when Jeremiah
declared to the people of Judah that 1t
was not the people of Egypt or Baby
Ion that they must fear, but the peo-
pie OF Judah. And he also referred to
the statement of Abraham Lincoln,
who on the day of his assassination,
while sitting at luncheon, declared that
the next great conflict would be against
the liquor traffic, and that the fight
would be waged against an enemy at
anu abroad.
Where Pennsylvania Stands
In the course of his remarks DIR.
Moore declared that twenty years ago
there were three prohibition States,
While to-day there are nineteen, and
SIX more will vote in the next twelve
months; that during these years, every
State in the Union save Pennsylvania
has changed its liberal liquor laws to
restrictive or prohibitory measures.

make the individual judge decide the
question.
"On December %, 1914. said the
speaker, Congress for the first time
voted on Prohibition resolution, sub
mitting the liquor question to the
States of this Union. In the count,
twenty of Pennsylvania thirty-six
congressman went on record against
liquor traffic.
pennsylvania is one of the blacklist
spots on the charted area of wet and
dry States, and the fight this year will
be directly on the legislature;" and the
added that Governor Brumbaugh was
a leader with whose help it was hoped
the potential political forces of the
commonwealth would be arrayed on
the side of the anti-saloon forces.
Movements Progress
DR.. Moore referred to the great fight
anu Iie NIClOTleS III
Maine and West Virginia; to the i'm
portant bills now before Congress in
cluding prohibition in the District of
Columbia, the Philippines and Alaska:
and the joint resolution referring to the
several States the question of national
prohibition through an amendment to
the constitution; all these things as in
dicating the rapid progress of the
movement through the country.
Plea For Local Option
Dr. Tope in his two addresses urged
the voters to nominate and elect in
all political parties. men who stood
Tor local option. He claimed that the
peoples weakness consisted in divorc-
ing religion from social and civic life.
The addresses all over the city were
well received and constituted the main
topic of conversation throughout the
homes.

The Story of the Blacksmith's Wife
The recital of the dreary tale of
Mrs. George Deckert's welded life
was resumed this morning before
President Judge Kunkel. The case
had been heard several months ago
when Mrs. Deckert related some of
her hardships as the wife of Deckert.
He is a blacksmith and frequently
abused her. Many a time she says
she hadn't enough to eat. Deckert
never bought her clothes; often Mrs.
from n garbage can, it is alleged.
Deckert finally deserted her but
Judge Kunkel wasn't satisfied that he
had left the State. District Attorney
M. p. SIroup presented evidence this
morning to the effect that Deckert
had gone to Grafton, Wis. The hus-
band had even written to Mr.. Stroup
asking for news of the divorce"
The presentation of this evidence
gave the court chance to remind
attorneys of their failure to serve
necessary proofs of service in divorce
proceedings.
Until these matters are attended to-
Judge Kunkel pointedly explained,
the decisions will not be Forthcoming.

Roosevelt High Lights
High lights in his address are:
1T is highly moral to export mu-
nitions which will help Belgium to
free herself
1T is an act of gross infamy on the
part of this government and this peo-
pie to take any step which will help
the wrongdoers against the wronged,
and such n step would be taken if we
imposed an embargo in the interest of
Germany against the allies.
Unfortunately it is evident that
many of our public men are afraid of
the professional German-American
vote and are willing to sacrifice the
honor of this country to their fears.

BERLIN. Nov. S.-(Via London)- Virtually the entire German manu- facturing industry has been united in a single organization for the first time through the formation here yesterday of a so-called German in- dustrlal council. The new organi- zation forms connecting link be- tween the older organization, the Central Association of German In- dustrials, the League of Industrials and the Society of Chemical Indus tries. These organizations, which have been working together since the outbreak of the war, resolved to form an alliance on a permanent basis in order to meet new condi- tions after the war and cooperate in the recovering of Germany's lost foreign trade.

zEPPELINS TO MAKE RAID TO
 RAZE LONDON
Count Zeppelin Declares Fleet of Fifty Will Be Sent Against
 British City.
IS INCENTIVE

LONDON, Nov S.-Eyidently the more fruitless and costly become the Zeppelin raids on Egland, the greater and more boastful become the promises of pro-zeppellnists. Frantic with rage at the loss of SO many of his huge pets, Count Zeppe- lin is reported to have declared he would send a fleet of eighty ships to wreck London
 Whether they awake sooner or later as the editor of the Stuttgart Beobachter suggests. to the reality of things the German people evil dently have still a belief in the promised destruction of London. for which they are waiting with more or less increasing impatience. If not eighty. they will be quite satisfied with a fleet of fifty to do the job.
 So says William Lockwood. York shireman. who. after passing fifty four of the seventy-four years of his life in Saxony. has been repatriarted and restored to his old time home at Harden, near Bingle.
 This last few months have heard wounded soldiers say there is no chance for Germany now. that there are so many men and guns against them; but the German peo- pie make no secret" he says. that fifty big Zeppelins are being built expressly for the purpose of the de. strucucn of London
 While the German imperial chan. cellor. Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg; the minister of the interior, Dr. Hel- frerich. and the minister Of the navy, Admiral von Capelle. are still seek ing in secret session to dissaude the committee of the Reichstag from further submarine. and Zeppelin fol- lies. several Of the German news papers have come to the conclus- ion that in neither case is the game worth the candle.
