CARD OF THANKS

We desire to extend heartfelt
thanks to friends of Pennington and
vicinity for their many acts of loving
kindness during the last illness of
our precious wife and mother. Such
acts reflect true neighborliness as
much as did the beautiful flowers
which always garnished the sick room
and banked the grave serve as an up
lift to low and depressed spirits. May
Gods richest blessings be with all for
their loving sympathy and surprising
kindness.

London. March 12.--Thc American commission which is inQuiring into the disturbances Sunday in the Strand near the Eagle hut. resumed it's sit tingS yesterday. The proceedings are private. but statement is promised at the conclusion of the investigation.
 Major Gen. Fielding, commanding Tomlin, chief constable of tho metro politan police force, attended the ses- sion today. The British officers will be allowed to question witnesses.
 The Daily News, referring to the riot, says:
 "The decision to hold an inquiry, and the rapidity with which the in Quiry has been put in hand. are very much to be welcomed, It may be said, since rather regrettable prominence has been given to the American sol diers in particular in some of the that the behavior of the American troops since the day they were first welcomed to London has been exem- plary, not merely in an ordinary, but to a. conspicuous degree.

BONE DRY 'souTH GEIShETS' !| COATS
All Baggage Is Searched and Liquo|r. {. Gonhseated Q in Dry States

Philadelphia, March 12.-Crossing the bone dry'' South, tourists bound for Florida this winter have been en- countering since January 1 examples of prohibition. Recently, while at- tempting to stock up a little oasis of their own, group of Philadelphia men came to grief in Georgia. One of the party said he was surprised to find that the state authorities searched the baggage on the trains and confiscated whatever liquor they found Travellers on a steamer bound for Florida also found. when the ves- sel made brief stop at Savannah, that the same process was applied officers boarding the boat and confis- eating any intoxicating liquor found in the passengers possession.
 It is related here that recently a steel safe about to be shipped to Flor ida was filled with bottles of liquor When it reached it's destination it was found that the safe had been opened en route and it's contents taken. One citizen, disgusted because packages he had sent South in various disguises had been confiscated, wrote home:
 Buy three bottles of the worst you can find and dose it with jalap. Then let them steal it!"
 An example of opposite nature, set forth in the law reports, is attracting the attention of lawyers who are con- sidering the possibility of compensa- tion for liquor owners when Pennsyl- vania goes dry. At West Chester, Judge Hause recently was called upon to decide the claim of a resident of Coatesville, which is dry, who had purchased liquor in the adjoining city of Lancaster imbibed too freely and was arrested, his bottled goods being cOnfscated by the police.
 Without determining the validity of the confiscatory legislation, the Chcs- ter county jurist ruled that liquor was not inherently evil such as burglars tools, counterfeit money or gam bling apparatus, and awarded the plaintiff eight dollars for the liquor that had been seized and turned over to the Coatesville hospital.

STORFKEEPER SHOT
 THROUGH THE HEART
Wife Sees Murderers-Baby in Crib Sleeps Through Shooting
 PurSucrS Rafflcd.
PurSucrS Rallied.

New York, March 12.-One of those Wanton murders by hOld-up men, who in this case did not profit so much as one cent by the taking of human fife, stirred the RidgeWood section of Brooklyn yesterday afternoon. Samuel Wolchock was shot in his cigar, candy and stationery store at 2O8 Wyckof avenue. A bullet pene- trated his heart but he ran forty feet before dropping dead.
 His wife chased one of the robbers in the street. but lost him. Her baby slept through everything in his crib in the Wo1ChOcl< home back of the store. Her oldcr girl and boy came home from school swinging their books in black oilcloth bags. Police mGn were tramping in and out of the store with witnesses and talking to the mother at the counter No others were admitted. Many persons buzzed and gaped on the pavements. For hours the school children were part of the crowd. No one had the heart to tell them what had taken place; all were waiting for the mother to do that. So it was almost dark when Marion Wolchock, years old, and her brother, Percy. s years, and in "A at the public school, found out that their father was dead.

 No Time to Be Lost.
 Il say to you, men of France and men of America, and to you. men or the Allied powers that there is no tune to be lost if we are to save the world from the despotism of an aFchy, even as we have saved 1t from 'he despotism of autocracy. We ought to make. we must make, peace Wltnout delay, and ships laden with 1000 must enter the harbors of Ger hiah5 We have reached a crisis in Ihe aHalrs of the world. We must meet It Without passion and without permitting our judgment to be warp ca py natural and unavoidable de- Slre for vengeance
 Common Sense Arguments
 We are victorious and vet victory on the battlefield is not all. We must use our victory wisely or we will lose even more than we have gained. It IS no time to permit selfishness to contFol our actions, or to permit an immediate advantage to blind our eyes to the greater good which lies in the future. It is not a spirit of generosity which demands peace and which cries out that the Germans must be fed. Ii is common sense that demands it and that points out the perils before us if we do not listen to the voice of reason.
 France showed her greatness of soul in the dark hours of adversity, and We of America, who give her un- stinted praise, trust her to show the same spirit in these days of triumph It is true philosophy which teaches a man or a nation to bear success as well as defeat.
