w JILL the present generation
wv see the contamination of the
ideal of universal union of

ideal of universal union of
the churches, Protestant and
Catholic? The question, prompted by
the recent departure for Europe and the
Near East Of deputaton of the
World Conference on Faith and Order
who have this contamination as the OBJ
jective, has considerably stirred religious
circles in this country. That the Pope,
though apparently sympathizing with
the aims of the mission, is not over
sanguine as to it's ultimate achievement,
is gathered from the following special
cable dispatch from "New York
World" correspondent in Rome, who
says he
learns from the Vatican that the Holy
See is preparing an exhaustive memoran-
dums in which it explains it's attitude
toward the American projects for q PAN
Christian conference and for a union of
all Christian churches.
"The memorandum will fix those points
upon which The Pontif Is prepared to sup
port the American scheme But tho opn-
ion in Vatican circles is that the Pope en-
tertains little hope that the American ef.
fort can meet with SUCCESS In the near
future, although he sympathzes with IL
and Is anxious to be kept informed on the
progress Of tho movement. Monsignor
Ceretti. who IL expected In Rome from
Washington soon. will report to the Pope
on his Investigations regarding It,"
Let's!
However, other eminent church dig
nitaries, both English and American,
seem unanimous in agreeing that the
hour has struck for the Christian
churches to combine forces and start
afresh on an entirely different basis.
The Bishop of Carlisle, in an article in
"The HILBERT Journal" (London), en-
titled "Some Parallels Between League
of Nations and Reunion Of the
Churches" says in part:
"The present worldwide war, notwilh-
standing It's innumerable infames and
atrocities, seems to be Fastening this
process of Characterization, especially in
the deepening and widening of our per-
captions of the indefeasible fact of the
brotherhood of men. This brotherhood is
not a discovery due to revolutonists; for
rcvoiutonists who have most loudly pro-
claimed it have not seldom been among
its most ruthless violators. Revolutions,
indeed, have sometimes owed their origin
and strength to the general negligence Of
the fact of human brotherhood, and their
furious onsIaughts on this negligence have
frequently been the means of disintcrring
the living fact from the sepulchrcs of
oblivion. But both the fact and its procla-
nation arc older than all revolutions.
They are among tho foremost Of sacred
revelations. God hath made Of one blood
all the families of men that dwell on the
earth In the sight Of God mankind has
from the beginning hesn regarded AZ one
family. he Is tbs Father Of all men alike,

Traffic Violations Many.

Traffic violations continue undated in
both city and State in spite of the Cam
paigns of education" and preventive eff
forts made. According to the statistics
of Commissioner of Motor Vehicles E.
Austin Baughman, fines for the week
ending September II collected from
chauffeurs and owners of motor vehicl es
in Baltimore city alone amounted to
So, 119 the total of fines in the whole
State being S3,15l. Most of the fines
were in small amounts as there was
only one fine of 500 for the week.
One man, James A. Colbert, of Wash
ington was given two Jail sentences of
60 days each, one for operating a car
while under the influence of liquor and
the other for using the car without
authority.
The new week started with a rush, as
about $500 WIS paid in fines Friday,
chiefly by speeders on the Belair road
bound to or from the track meet at Havre
de Grace. This was in spite of warn
ing that the Belair road would be watch
ed with especial care during the Havre
de Grace race.

but in their capacity as Judges of the
highest tribunal in the State the ex-
preston "5O-5 is Greek to them. The
expression puzzles the court.
The Main Island Creek Coal Company
made proposition with J. L. Chain,
whereby he was to purchase certain
lands. Chain reported to the company
the price was $27, 200 and the manager
told him to offer $25, 900 telling Chain
that whatever you save US will be "5-
So" Chain sued for 81, 900 commission
and it was allowed in the lower court,
whereupon the case was appealed. One
of the points in the petition was that
the expression 5000" was meaningless
and the court took that view and grant
ed writ of error and supersedeas.

Seeing Gettysburg.

Early Sunday morning last an aged
man arrived in Thurmont and accident
ally fell in company with Maj. Geo. T.
Castle. The stranger spied the little
brown button on the Majors coat and
soon displayed the same little button
on his coat to Mr.. Castle. Comrade
Myers, aged 81 years, left his home in
Pekin, Ill.,, about six weeks ago bound
for Gettysburg to get view of the
ground over which he fought with the
18th Illinois regiment more than fifty
years ago. He carried frying pan and
coffee pot with him. and took his good
time travelling east. He expects to
spend several weeks driving about the
battlefield then sell the rig and go by
train to his home In Pekin.

Get Ready For The
Homecoming.
Declare Sept. ~ A Holiday For
Your Family.

The big Homecoming event which was
planned for Friday August 18th was
very abruptly postponed only few days
before the date set on account of an
epidemic of Scarlet Fever in mild form
at Catoctin Furnace and that vicinity.
DIR. T. Clyde Routson, Health Officer
for Frederick County made visit to
Catoctin Furnace and Thurmont at the
time and on account of the numerous
cases of the epidemic insisted that our
plans be postponed indefinitely. The
Association having in charge the Home
coming plans took immediate action and
accordingly mailed notices to all Soldiers
and Sailors of this District and posted
notices throughout the District of the
postponement.
DR.. Routson now advises that the
epidemic is practically cleared up and
we have his permission to proceed with
our plan. The Thurmont Homecoming
Association held meeting on Thursday
evening September 4th and has decided
to hold the Homecoming on Saturday
September 9th. The program for the
day will be the same as originally plan
ned and the Association is highly pleased
that it will be able to secure the same
speakers and musicians.
1t is found that very little interest has
been lost in postponing the Homecoming
and the Committees having in charge
the various parts in the program are
waiting to fall back into line and help
carry the event to successful conclu"
sion. Posters are again being displayed
throughout the District giving notice of
the program in detail which is as follows:
1000 a. m. Baseball game on The
Thurmont High School grounds between
the Soldiers of Emmitsburg District and
those of Mechanicstown District.
2.OOp m. Assembly of citizens on
the lawn at the home of Mr. Daniel r.
Rouzer; Community singing, Address of
Welcome, Memorial Address by Chief
Judge Hammond Urner of Frederick;
Concert by the Yellow Springs Band
conducted by Prof. S. Fenton Harris.
900 p. m. Banquet in the Town Hall
in honor of the returned Soldiers and
Sailors of Mechanicstown District. Con-
cert by The Thurmont Orchestra; Toasts.
The date set by the Association may
not be as convenient to the out of town
people as the original one owing to the
vast amount of fall work to be done at
this Season: however we are giving as
much advance notice as possible trusting
that the opportunity may be given all
of our people to make their plans ahead
and be with US for the big Homecoming.
Don't forget the date.

Auto In Jungles.
Buick Sedan Found by Marshall
Reed. No Tags. Probably An
Ohio Car,

What is believed to be a stolen auto
mobile was located last Friday in the
Jungles near Catoctin ore mines about
two miles south of Thurmont, by Mr..
Marshall Reed not far from his home
along the State Road.
When first found Mr.. Reed thought
but little about the car-one peculiar and
unusual thing being thaNit was so far
from the road in the bushes, and an
other that no license tags were on the
car.
Soon afterward Reed was in CONVEX
sation with John Tom Davis who resides
a little further down the road, and spoke
of finding the car This occurred Friday.
On Thursday pair of Ohio State tags
were found along the Thurmont-Deer-
field road. brought to town and deliver
ed to Justice Rob't A. Cadow, the latter
telling Davis of the fact.
After Reed had related his story to
Davis, Tom at once reported the finding
to Justice Cadow, Davis also reports
that on Friday two men came to his
abode and asked for something to eat
and for some tobacco. Davis supplied
their wants and was paid for his food.
Justice Cadow reported the find to
Deputy C. w. Lidie, and the two went
after and brought the car to Thurmont
Friday afternoon. Saturday night two
men came to Mayor Lidie and wanted
the car, stating that it was stolen, but
the number of the engine in the car and
the engine number held by the men did
not correspond, and Lidie refused to
leave the car leave his premises.
The car is Buick Sedan Roadster,
arranged for three passengers. 1t is in
good condition, and running order. From
some things found in the car, it would
seem as though it belonged to someone
in or about Youngstown, Ohio.
Justice Cadow has recently received
word that the car was stolen in Youngs-
town on or about August Oath.

New York Company and production

ter, augmented orchestra.
1t is farce comedy by Henry Darew-
ski and Percival Knight, and is the
work of Captain Arthur Eliot an actor
and humorist. Both authors have been
in active service at the front.
This unique play, which is based on
Captain Barnsfather' cartoons "Frag-
ments from France" has been running
year and a half in London
The authors have called their Offering
"a fragment from France" in two ex-
plosions, seven splinters and short gas
attack. But it is claimed that every ex-
posion rocks the theatre with laughter
every splinter of the seven is shaft of
fun, and the short gas attack is made
from laughing gas.

advantage of che appearance of the
famous American comedian, De Wolf
Hopper as old Bill, who in the vigorous
role of the wonderful character with his
sprawling mustache and good natured
attitude toward everything and every
body Mr. Hopper has the advantage
of the original Metropolitan company

given so long and successfully at the
Metropolis.

Typhoid An Epidemic.

1t is reported that typhoid fever has
reached an epidemic stage at Hagerstown
80 cases being reported last Sunday.
So far all cases are traceable to milk
furnished by one dairyman who had used
infected water from two wells and a
spring on his farm to wash his milk re-
ceptacles.
All milk, as well as the city water and
wells and springs in the community will
be tested for typhoid bacillus. Anti
typhoid incubation is proceeding.
