The virtual abandonment Of the
great diplomatic game of peace has
already brought forth the full resent

the way the Entente has spurned their

sculptor. Nine. Bcrnhardt at that time
had won high praise in Victor lIugoS
play, and the sculptor, enthusiastic over
the actresses genius, had worked the
statuctte in clay and had 1t reproduced
in plaster of Paris.
Nj Drew explained Mt the matinee
that Mrs. Anna VI. K,son. widow of the
sculptor. had presented 1t to the actors

and has encouraged the knights to

lean who has just arrived there from
Frankfurt, where he had resided for
eighteen months, as saying that the
Germans have a great and surprising
number of new troops. The dispatch
says that every German of military
age who is not engaged in the NUM-

the army with the result that the Ger
man troops are now more numerous
than at the beginning of the war.

The night session developed into a
discussion of the Public Service Com
mission after Mr.. McFarland's ad-

by Burgess ]. Elmer Saul, of Norris

large sums to present cases and also
for decisions, which he held were fav-
orable to public service corporations
and not to borouehs.
Mr.. Saul was answered Deputy At
torney General Horace w. Davis. The
borough people and the commission
have been more or less at loggerheads
for several years.

BUREAUS NEEDLE
TOO MUCH WITH
STATE BOROUGHS? ?
Declare Commonwealth |.
Rapidly Becoming Bureau
Government

Simplified form of government for
boroughs figured largely in this morn
ings session of the Pennsylvania AS
sociation of Boroughs in the Masonic
Temple.
BY reason of the great interest in
the home rule movement the con-
vention authorized the appointment
of a committee of seven to conside er
the matter and report next year. The
committee will look into the small
council and commission form of gov
ernment.
A storm on the floor of the conven-
ton broke suddenly shortly before
noon when it was pointed out that a
resolution, adopted yesterday would
establish n bureau for the supervision
of borough Indebtedness.
A statement that the State was
rapidly devolving into a government
by firearms drew forth applause.
1t was said that these bureaus are
meddling with borough government
j. Herman Knisely, OF the municipal
statistics bureau of the State Depart
ment of Labor and Industry and Sec
retary of the association, who drew
the resolution explained that the idea
merely was to ascertain whether or
not all legal provisions of the consti-
tuition are complied with by the
boroughs,
BY an almost unanimous vote the
resolution was recommitted with in
structions to submit report which
would carry only provision for uni
form borough accounting.
Report that the Legislature is con-
slderlng the passage of q bill creating
a State Building Commission again
drew forth measure of censure for
what was said to be the slow manner
IN which State commissions work
support was gained for the proposed
commission when it was explained
that the bill called for a housing
code which would protect the work
ingman and his home,
a committee to urge upon the Leg
iSlaLure the passage of the associa-
tion's recommendation and to fight
bills which might be inimicabIe to
MUNICIPALITIES was decided upon. The
committee of three members probably
will be appointed tonight. The or
sanizaton will pay the committee's
exercises while at the Capitol.
Endorsement of the cooperation
given the boroughs of the State by the
Bureau of Municipal Statistics OF the
State Department of Labor and Indus
try was given. The Legislature will be
asked to increase the appropriation
for the bureau and to consule it when
borough legislation is being consid-
cred.
Oppose Annexation Power
Another resolution condemned any
legislation that might give cities power
to forcfbly annex adjacent boroughs.
Such legislation was denounced by
the resolution committee as being
unwise, unfair and unAmerican. +"
AS means of enlarging the associa-
ton the president was given author
ity to appoint a membership commit
tee with subdivisions in each county
which are to make an effort to enroll
all boroughs.
