BLAIN REUNION
ATTRACTS CROWD
Senator Beidleman Makes Pa
triotic Address; Other Well
Known Men Speak

Blain, Pa, Aug. 10-Senator E. E.
Beidleman, OF Harrisburg, was the
guest of honor to-day at the annual
Homecoming Reunion and Blain
Picnic, held at Sherman's Park, near
here. Thousands of persons are in
attendance. Senator Beidleman made
the principal address. the other
speakers being John S. Eby, of New
port, Perry county representative in
the Legislature for two terms, and
eX-Judge James w. Shull, of New
Bloomfield.
Senator BeidIeman, who is the
Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, refrained from politics
during his address, which was
mainly along patriotic lines.
Our whole thought at this time
should be to win the war" said the
Senator. Every other consideration
must be placed in the background.
The wonderfully good news from
France. the part our own brave
pennsylvania boys are playing with
those OF France and England to
push the Germans back across the
line should be but spurs to greater
efforts and greater sacrifices on our
own part. We must not pause now
NNAR pCdCGs llONSNGT IluCn our
hearts may plead for the early re-
turn of our loved ones, for a German
peace would be far worse than the
continuation of the war"
Senator Eeidleman drew attention
to the splendid record of Perry
countians in the wars of the nation
and recalled the fact that more men
enlisted from that county in the
Civil War in proportion to popula-
ton than from any other county in
the Union. All day the Senator
was the center of groups of friends
who extended greetings and dis
cussed with him various state issues.
The reunion is ordinarily a two
days event, but on account of the
war was confined to one day this
year. Large numbers of service
flags We're displayed and repeated
reference was made in the speeches
to the many Perry county boys now
in France.

Hollands New Cabinet
May Be Requested to
Make Mediation Offer

London, Aug. 10.-Rumors arm
current in Dutch political circles
that Deputy Nolens, who has been
charged with the formation of a
new government. intends to prepare
the way for peace by suggesting to
the new cabinet that it make an
offer for mediation to both bellig-
erent groups. according to Amster-
dam dispatches to the Central News.
In this connection, the intended
inclusion in the cabinet of the Dutch
minister to the Vatican is considered
significant. The Nieuwe Courant, of
The Hague, warns the government
against any such attempt, saying
that it might bring Holland into
difficulties with the group which
does not desire mediation.

placed all gifts for temperance, local
