Church Ten Miles
From Railroad Is
Over 100 Years Old

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 26-Ten
miles from railroad and five miles
from a trolley line, st. Ignatius' Cath
olic church, of Buchanan's Valley,
Adams county, Pa, which is 1903 years
old, recently held it's annual field mass
under wde-spreading tree. Later
there was an old-fashioned picnic fol-
lowed by big dinner which was en-
joyed by the farmer members of the
venerable flock and their friends who
had come in response to an invitation
which read, in part:
"See our little cameo church. She
recently celebrated her 103rd birthday
and time hasn't written wrinkle on
her placid brow. Come, and worship
God in His temple not made with
hands, The robins will be there,
hymning, and the butterflies will
breathe their tiny prayers. The west
wind will harp lyric that is older
than the sea-"

German Deficit In
Wheat More Than
Three Million Tons

Berlin, Sept. 26-The German deficit
in food, the different bewteen the
amount produced in Germany and
Germany's normal needs, amounts to
100000 tons of wheat. one million
tons of meat and one million tons of
fats, says the Imperial Food Min
istry.
Immediate payment for these nee
essary foodstuffs with inland re-
sources is unthinkable, the ministry
asserts. Only long term credits can
help and the acceptance of such cred
it's is only possible if Germany works
for only then can the creditors have
confidence in paying ability of Ger
many.
Immediate decisive effect of the re-
moval of the blockade on the German
food market is not expected by the
ministry, but rather long slow con-
tinuation of improvement which al
ready makes itself felt. 1t declares
that control Of export must remain
until the average between import and
export has been established.
Germany must make up it's mind
to do without coffee very largely in
the future, says the Imperial Com
missioner for colonial goods.
Authorities say Germany must re-
strict her imports of chocolate be-
cause of the low mark and must try
to rely on her own chocolate, the first
production of which is expected soon.

Will Use Army Gas
Masks For Fires

Buffalo, Sept. 26-Army gas masks
will not be abandoned by the Buffalo
fire department. At the first fire in
which they were used here firemen
wearing them were overcome while
others without masks were able to
stand the smoke. 1t was declared at
that time that masks were useless as
fire department equipment.
Fire Chief Murphy refused to ac-
cept this as a conclusive trial and
since then, he says, the masks have
been used with signal success.

packing plant where the smoke was

Attack H. C. L. By
Organizing An
Old Clothes Club

who wear more than one patch, one
of the patches must be visible.
No particular color or shade of
patch is designated in the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the new club but
different emblems will be conferred
from time to time as the member
takes the various ascendant steps to
the chief places in the order. The
badges will always consist of patches,
,, and more patches.

gree possible to attain in the new
club is the degree of Rags.

Plan to Promote
Irish Trade With
The United States

Dublin, Sept. 26-The Cork Indus
trial Development association has de-
cided to send a commission to the
United tSates to promote Irish trade
interests there, and Irish manufac-
turers and other buyers or sellers in
the American market are showing
keen interest in the enterprise.
/ In this connection the reports of
five Irish banks are made public. They
show that the amounts they hold on
deposit and credit accounts total &c.
100000 pounds being an increase of
nearly 25,OOO,OOo pounds over last
year. 1t isl estimated that when the
results of the Royal Bank and of the
ehree Belfast. banks are known and
added the total Irish bank deposits
will be seen to be about $50, 900 600
pounds.
! The project of making Galway a
great trans Atlantic port has been re-
vived. The scheme proposed would
cost 100000 pounds of which par
ties interested would put up seven
hundred thousand and ask the gov
eminent to supply the balance. A
i deputation to the government has
been arranged.
Since the Irish Housing bill has
passed through Parliament the local
authorities have submitted for the

CzERNIN SHOWN TO
Be GOOD PROPHET
or GERMAN FUTURE

Berlin, Sept. 26-Count Ottokar Won
Chudenitz Czernin, formerly Austrian
foreign minister, is shown as a proph-
ct who forshadowed coming events
and the collapse Of the General powers
with almost uncanny correctness ac-
cording to his now famous letter to
the Emperor Charles, written early
in April, 1917, in which he urged that
monarch to "make peace at all haZ-
ards or suffer the loss of your throne -
Parts of the text of CoGnt Czernin's
historic missive have been published
but the complete text, as presented
to the assembly at Weimar by Fin
ance Minister Erzberger, has now ap-
peared for the first time in the
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the Of
fetal organ.
1t showed among other things, that
Czernin, alone Of all Austrian states
men, prophecied the entrance, two
wears before, of Rumania into the
war on the side of the allies and pre-
dicted almost the day Of it's out
break" The letter also said the
Count expected" immediate French,
British and Italian offensives and his
forecast was borne out by what hap
pened. Within a fortnight after the
note to the ruler had been drafted, on
April 1G, 1917, the French began the
great SCISSORS Rheims "drive" along
a 25-mile front, and the British had
started the battle of Arras on a front
extending to Lens. The Italians, a
few weeks later, plunged across the
Isong in the Carso sector for dis
lance of 81 miles, crushing the Aus
TRANS in their rush.
Urged Peace Move.
In view of the reverses to the
armies of the Central Powers and on
the eve of Americas entry into the
war, Czernin urged the Emperor to
"make another detailed peace pro-
posal and not be afraid to make great,
even heavy, sacrifices" Russia, he
thought had lost it's offensive power
but the Eagle of the West, he feared,
might prove stronger adversary
than the PROSTATE bear.
ain Germany great hope is laid in
the submarine warfare" he wrote. II
hold this attitude is deceptive. I do
not for an instant deny the fabulous
results of the German heroes of the
sea. I admit admiringly that the
monthly total of sunken tons is
something akin to fable, but | go on
record as declaring that the result
expected and predicted by the Ger
mans will not follow" 1t must be re-
membered at this time that German
U-boats were at the height Of their
depredations on the sea. On October
%, 1918, the German admiralty ad-
mitted the failure of the submarine
warfare by recalling all the "tigers
Of the deep" to Kiel and Wilhelms-
haven.
81 hope that the thougrt, unfort-
unately Incorrect that England could
be compelled within a few months to
make peace, will lose ground in Ber-
lin," wrote Count Czernin. Nothing
is more dangerous to believe those
things one wants to believe, nothing
is more fatal than not wanting to see
the principle of truth, and to succomb
to utopian illusions from which soon
err or later there must come fearful
awakening"

Such. in brief. are the territorial

European phase that 1 am addressing
the present comment. AS to Shan
tung. whatever criticism may be made
of it. one may say that it did not
change the condition of the people
affected. We failed to liberate some
thirty millions of Chinese: we shall
have all the old troubles again, until
this justice is achieved. but this does
not in the least change the fact that
we did succeed in freeing some forty
millions of Europeans. mainly Slavs.
In achieving this liberation we
made mistakes. we did incidental
wrongs: but, since fallible human
beings made the peace, what could
one expect? What We did do. we.

the longest step in all human his

The real trouble lies, not in the
treaty itself. but in the things men
claimed for it, and expected of it. in
advance. Above all 1t was believed

more certain than that the effort to
redraw the map of the continent of
Europe would stimulate old race
rivalries and create new causes for
conflicts. Let any ono take an eth
