HOUSE PLEASED WITH
VISIT TO GERMANY
Conversations viii Clarity
Relations.

Berlin (via London, Jan 81.
Colonel Edward NJ. House. President
Wilson's personal representative, has
left Berlin for Paris and London by
way of Switzerland. Prior to his de-
partue, though declining to be quoted
with any particularly on the results
OF his mission, Colonel House said he
was very glad he had come to Berlin
and added that the conversations
which he had had with leading Ger
man statesmen and prominent men
in private life and particularly his
conference with Ambassador Gerard
had been most profitable and would
undoubtedly lead to a Qualification OF
German-American relations, althouSn
it was to he doubted whether any def
mite tangible Developments could be
conducted therefrom
His visit. which was chiefly for in
formative purposes, can scarcely be
said TO have given him any novel light
on the German situation. the main
outlines of which IT appears are well
understood in Washington. thanks TO
the copious aspects having particular
interest for President Wilson.
1t is presumed that the German
leaders now have clearer compre-
hension of the limits and intents of
President Wilson's policy and particu-
larry of the ideas he has for a work
ing arrangement, harmonizing as far
as possible with the interests of neu.
trails and the two belligerent groups.
1t is interesting to note that many
Germans, especially those interested
in foreign affairs, are seeking enlight-
eminent from all possible sources in
an endeavor to figure out which group
President Wilson had in mind in the
reference in his recent speech to the
uncertainty of the international rela~
lions of the United States.

OLD MA NATURE
DROPS CURTAIN
Everybody Behaved but the
Weatherman; Postpone Ca
baret to Halloween


"All right for you. Mister Weather
Mani
Blue skies. sunshine as warm as late
September can produce. garnished with
the balmiest of breezes, to-day won't
compensate some thousands of eager
Harrisburg folks and some more thou
ands from surrounding towns for the
unkind ending provided for last nights
program of the big uniform Fall open
ing celebration OF Harrisburg's mer-
chants.
Everybody who had eyes to see or
ears to hear had looked forward to
what was expected last night to be the
last act, the grand finale of the great
Fail Fashion show, Band concerts, a
fantastic parade and a great open air
dance in Market Square were on the
program, and
The Only One With a Crouch
The Weather Man suddenly and un-
expectedly rung down tho dampest,
bluest. dreariest curtain ever woven by
old Ma Nature, before the act was
under way.
So the merchants, in cooperation
with the Chamber of Commerce. de
clded that the big show isn't to lie
called off indefnitely-it Is only to be
postponed until Halloween. And then
Harrisburg. by the way, is going to
have celebration that will be some
event.
Market Square, the center of the big
stage was all set for the show last
evening. Before Z o'clock the northern
section of Market Square looked like
a stop-over or checking station of a
great automobile tour. Cars were
parked two rows deep all around the
curb.
Ready For the Final Curtain
The dancing space had been roped
off. the telephone chimes were jing-
ling. 'flood-lights" were turning the
Square into daylight, and the thousands
of people were all ready to watch the
rise of the last curtain--when the anti
climax that proved to be a real climax,
startled the sightseers and sent them
a-scurrying to nearest cover.
Hundreds of Peirrotte and Peir-
rot from the six-foot chap to
were out in force: never did
Iyama-yama girl so quickly change her
Tilt of joy to a sob of sorrow. Here
and there in doorways, under awnings,
snuggled in automobiles jammed upon
car platforms-the quantity costumed
maskers crowded and waited for the
skies to quit weaping.
As They Do in Far Countries
V. Grant Forrer. chairman of the
board of judges and John P. Guyer the
floor manager" for the dance. waited
under a nearby awning with the vain
hope that the storm would cease and
let the dance go on.
But the Weather Man had a crouch,
perhaps; anyway, it rained and rained
and rained
And when it became known that the
big affair was to be postponed until
Halloween the prevailing opinion was
expressed by tidy feminine clown:
Say, papa" she observed, II guess
We'll have to do as they do in foreign
countries when it rains, won't we?"
And how is that, my dear?"
Let it rain"

One Democratic electoral candidate
from Schuylkill remains to be inserted.
1t is expected that numerous inde-

1t was decided to hold this years af-

NEWS OF STEELTON
NEW EXTENSION
TO BE ANNEXED
Council Will Soon Have Ordi-
nance Making Pine Street De-
velopment Part of Borough

That the large tract of land east of
the borough now being developed by
Henry A. kelker. Jr., known as the
Pine Street Extension, will soon be
annexed to the borough was indicated
following a meeteing of the Highway
and Finance committees of council
at the east end of Pine street yester-
day afternoon.
The councilmen met with view
to going over the section to decide
whether or not to extend the bor-
ough's water and sewer lines about
500 feet beyond the present borough
line. While there will be no report
of the committees until the next meet
ing of council it is understood that
the extensions will be made.
In municipal circles it is believed
that an ordinance annexing this tract
to the borough will be presented in
council at an early date and from
recent declarations of councilmen it
will be passed.
Annexation of this section will be
an advantage to the borough becaus
of it's increased area and to the prop
erty owners in the extension because
otherwise they cannot obtain water
supply or drainage facilities.

WILSON CALLS MILITARISM
"ABOMINABLE" PRINCIPLE

New York, Sept. 90. = A letter
from President Wilson declaring that
the spirit and principle of militarism
were "abominable" 20 him was made
public here by the Students Pacifists,
an organization arranging an anti
militarist demonstration on Septem-
be- 80 in opposition to the new State
legislation requiring military training
in public schools. The President, after
declining an invitation to speak,
wrote:
There need be no misunderstand-
ing as to my position. l have again
and again made it as plain as language
can make it. / am in favor of ade-
quate defense. and no more. The
whole spirit and principle of militar-
ism is abominable to me, and | do not
think that anything that has been
done has been done in the militaristic
spirit. 1t has. on the contrary, been
conceived and carried out with the sim
gle purpose of rendering the country
safe against external danger"

Work Will Start Soon on
Monument to Maine Victims

Havana, Sept. %. - Work will be
commenced next week on the monu-
ment in memory of the victims of the
United States battleship Maine, blown
up in Havana harbor in February,
1898. The monument will be erected
in a small park opposite the Santa
Clara battery. near the wall of the
Malecon.
On either side of the memorial a
staff will be placed on which will be
hoisted the Stars and Stripes and the
flag of the Cuban republic. The mon
ument will be on a base sixteen feet
in height, the total height to be 81
feet.
The principal feature of the monu-
ment to be erected to the victims of
the Maine in Havana will be the
after -turret of the battleship and two
of it's guns. These relics were pre-
sented to the Cuban government by
the American Congress. The monu-
ment will cost 100000 which was
transferred for the purpose by Presi-
dent Menocal from unusual credits
after the Cuban Congress failed to
make an appropriation.
