that on May so he will be presented
with sword in his home city of
Easton are contained in a statement
issued to-day by Governor Brum-
baugh.
The statement praises the general S
service and refers to the fact that
his predecessor, General Tasker H.
Bliss, was also Pennsylvania, hav-
ing come from Lewisburg.
The Governors statement is as fol-
lows:
Pennsylvania enjoys the proud
distinction of having had as Chief-o Of
stan OF the National Army, General
Tasker Bliss, a native of Union coun-
", who has recently been succeeded
by General Peyton c. March, who
was born in Easton, graduated from
Lafayette College.
General March will return to his
nome city on Thursday evening, May
80, and the citizens of Easton on that
evening will present to him publicly
a sword as an expression of their
attecuon and respect for a most dis
tinguished citizen, and on the fol-
lowing day his alma mater, Lafay-
ette College, will confer upon him the
degree Of Doctor of Laws.
The occasion is of such unusual
importance at this time that l am
glad TO make proclamation to the
people of the Commonwealth of this
important event and to suggest that
wherever people assemble on that
day and generally in the newspapers
OF Pennsylvania, reference be made
to the fact that a Pennsylvania SOL
dier, now chief f-of-staff of the Ma
tlonal Army, has returned to our
commonwealth to receive distin-
suiShed honors, and to cite his ex-
ample of highminded patriotism and
constant endeavor as an inspiration
TO all our citizens"

there is no reason why they are not

seven, as Wellaas other people, as they
are not physical exceptions, and can
not work seven days in the week with
out paying for the effort in loss of

probably anticipated by only short

the same effect, as 1t is understood
that Sunday closing of garages is a
