Plot on Prohibition
Is Charged by Berry

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-Pennsylva-
mia politicians suspected of being al
lied with the liquor interests, ac-
cording to Bishop Berry, are seeking
to "sidestep" the issue of ratification
of the prohibition amendment by of
fering to give Pennsylvania a local
option law il temperance leaders will
drop the agitation for ratification.
Practical politicians, the Bishop said.
have been interviewing the temper
ance men and trying to persuade
them that local option law will be
the best thing for the common
wealth.
There must be no sidestepping;
we want ratification" Bishop Berry
reiterated.
The Bishop said that the unanim-
ity of the temperance organizations
upon the subject is remarkable. In
the campaign which is opening every
temperance body in the state will be
united in demanding the ratification
OF the prohibition amendment, he
said.
Politicians. the Bishop said, are
seeking to have the ratification sub
mitted to a referendum at the May
primaries.
This is only another form of
sidestepping, and the people will
have none of it," says Bishop Berry.

Aged Woman's Dog Saves
Her Life by Bringing Help

Bath, Pa.-Mrs. Elizabeth George,
widow, eighty-seven years old,
living alone at Moorestown, four
miles from here, was saved from
bleeding to death by her dog, which
summoned help.
Mrs. George fell on the cellar
steps, and in trying to get up, fell
again, tearing away the skin and
flesh to the bone on the right side
of her forehead, almost to the right
ear.
A five-inch and a two-inch cash
were cut on her head. She was
bleeding profusely, and her dog, see
ing the critical situation, ran to the
door, placed his paw on the latch
and opened it. He ran to the barn,
where a neighbor, Erwin Burkhardt.
was working. The dog jumped up
at him. barked loudly and pulled
at his clothes.
Burkhardt suspected that some
thing serious had happened, and fol-
lowed the dog to the house. There
he found Mrs. George, unconscious,
on the kitchen floor.
A physician was summoned in a
few minutes and he succeeded in
stopping the bleeding and saving
the aged woman's life Nell, the
dog, is now a heroine in the eyes of
all the neighbors.

Account of Wedding S
Years Previous Printed

Pittsburgh.-One of the most pc
culiar mistakes ever made by a news
paper in Pittsburgh was perpetrat-
ed last Sunday in the society col
umns of the Times" when
a long account of a wedding that
took place on May so, 1918, was Civ
en- as having happened the previous
day.
1t related to the marriage of John
Miller Freeman and Miss Evelyn
Mary Lippa, daughter of Madame
Ockleson Lippa, at one time a fore
most organist of this city. The
story last Sunday started off by say
ing: "As a fitting prelude to the
month of roses a brilliant wedding
took place yesterday at the Church
of the Ascension" and then pro-
ceeded to give the names of the at
tending parties, description of the
decorations, ushers. matrons of hon
or (Airs. Herbert Hunton Clark, of
Crystal Lake, n. j., as we'll as the
program at the reception in the Lip
pa home later in the evening. The
story wound up with the announce
ment that the honeymoon trip would
consist of a tour of the continent
after sailing on the Adriatic in the
middle of the week"
The matter caused a sensation in
society circles and inquiries have
been made as to how the story came
to be published in such a way, but
without any public explanation by
the newspaper concerned.

Eighty Businessmen of
Grace Methodist Church
Attend Noon Luncheon

More than eighty businessmen of
Grace Methodist Church with their
friends attended the second of a Sc
ries of weekly luncheons being held
in the Y. NJ. C. A. by the church as
part of the three-week campaign
which is being conducted by the
Rev. DR.. Robert Bagnell.
The first of the luncheons was held
last Thursday, but this week it was
decided to postpone 1t until Friday
because of another luncheon given
yesterday by the Chamber of Com
merce. The guests of honor to-day
were Charles NJ. Alexander and his
company. who are here to sing at
the Y. NJ. C. A. convention.
Following the luncheon to-day the
Rev. DIR. Bagnell presided at short
service of song led by Mr.. Alexander.
The noted singer then gave a short
talk on "The Soldiers in the Camp"
and told of the religious work being
done there. He said that 365, 900
men in the Army and, Navy have
joined the Pocket Testament League.
The next luncheon will be held
next week and another attractive
program is being arranged for the
event. Businessmen of the city are
being invited to attend. as the talks
are given on subjects of interest to
them.
Mr.. Alexander gave all present a
most profitable presentation of the
work of the Pocket Testament
League. He told of the remarkable
interest throughout the Army camps
here and abroad in the distribution
of these Testaments among the SOL
diers and the appreciation of the
men for the little book which they
pledge themselves to read every day.
He told of the conversion of thou
sands of men through the reading
of the Testament and said that a
spiritual interest was aroused in this
way that could not possibly be arous-
ed in the ordinary evangelistic way.
He also distributed to all present
little book containing the Gospel of
st. John and several familiar hymns
which have proved immensely pop
ular among the soldiers. He said that
many a soldier who had been care
less as to his personal conduct has
been brought into line for better
things throught the use of this little
book. 1t was a most unusual meet
ing and Mr.. Alexander was given an
ovation at its close

PICKS TEDDY TO
RULE RUSSIANS
Soldiers Would Worship Him,
Says Head of Serbian
Orthodox Mission

Chicago.-"Russia needs a strong
man, a political Moses. to bring or

been a member of the American
Mission, the Bolsheviki probably
would not have gained control of
the country. Kerensky would have
maintained his power. Roosevelt,
or a man of his type, could be ruler
of Russia if he so desired"
This declaration was made the
other day by the Very Rev. Archi-
mandrite Mardary Uskokovich, head
of the Serbian orthodox mission in
North America, who is the recogniZ-
ed head OF the Serbian branch of

Roosevelt had been there, Kerensky
then would have maintained his

Roosevelt to-day could go to
Russia and become Commander-in-

soldiers would worship him and fol-
low him TO the death. Kerensky,
while reformer and a great speaker
was not capable of welding the big
