Rev. DR.. H. Abramowitz, in well
coming the delegates, spoke Of the
debt the world owed to the Jews.
He pointed out that although Jews
had not been asked to send represen-

nevertheless they were represented
in spirit by Moses and Isaiah. Mr..
Reuben Brainin of New York, was
given an ovation. He reminded the
delegates of the work of the great
Jewish leaders who had preceded
them and of the weight of respon-
sibility that rested upon them.
DR.. Chain Zhitlowsky of New

bent upon continuing its festivities
Paris continued it's victory day ceIe-
bration well into the small hours of

mated by $4,000 lamps, and adorned
with the portraits of the Allied rul-

scriptions recalling the principal
events of the war. The whole con-
trivance was more than 5000 feet
long. Eight hundreds of soldiers
dragged the immense machine
through the principal streets on both
sides of the Seine, its progress ac-
companied by the strains of military
band music and it's appearance every
where being welcomed with immense
delight by the people. The densest
crowds were in the Champs Elysees,
where the illuminations were partic-
ularly beautiful in their affect, a no.
table feature of the lighting being
the rays which lamps upon the Arc
de Triomphe sent darting down the
magnificent avenue. Thousands. too,
gathered around and admired the
cenotaps and the bouleyards.

THREE AVIATORS
ARE DROWNED
Plunged to Bottom of Della
ware River With
Seaplane

Philadelphia, July is. - Three
naval aviators were pinned to the
bottom of the Delaware river and
drowned yesterday when a large five
passenger seapnne plunged into
swallow water off the Philadelphia
navy yard. Two others in the sea-
plane at the time were injured.
The dead:
Ensign Harold o. Roehrig, Pasa-

broken leg and badly bruised.
r. Parker, civilian observer, suf-
fering from shock.
The seaplane, of what is technical
ly known as the IF 5-L" tpye,
similar in construction but smaller
than the transatlantic NC fiiers,
was making a test fight working out
a problem in aerial wireless. 1t
was practically unobserved by the
thousands of employees working in
the yard and had been in the air
some time when it was seen to de-
scend at a sharp swooping angle.
When about 200 yards above the
water it suddenly dropped, ap-
parently out of control. 1t struck
the water nose first and went
straight to the muddy bottom. The
plane. completely wrecked, rose
slowly to the surface as small boats
put out to it. The injured men who
were in the rear of the machine
were rescued but the other three,
who were seated in the front, did not
rise to the surface. A large de-
tachment of sailors were put at work
dragging the river for the bodies.

COUNTY FARMERS
LIKELY TO SEEK
100000 LOAN
Baltimorean Who Explains
Branch System Forms
Good Impression

Definite decision to establish a
branch of the Federal Farm Loan
Association in Dauphin county was
reached at a meeting of the county
farmers in the offices of the Dauphin
County Farm Bureau last evening,
when the requirements for the
formation of such an organization
were more than met. More than
fifty farmers were in attendance at
the meeting. Thirteen of these at
once joined the organization.
At least five additional farmers in
attendance will affiliate at the next
meeting, which has been called to be
held in the offices of the Farm
Bureau on the afternoon of July 81.
At this next meeting the permanent
organization is to be effected.
The requirements for the forma-
ton of such an organization are that
ten farmers must signify their inten-
ton of borrowing at least a total of
$4,000. Dauphin county more than
met this requirement when thirteen
farmers filed applications for Gov
ernment loans of a total of $61, 700.
of branch was instituted two years
ago, but failed at that time through
the lack of proper organization, it
is said.
AT last evenings meeting, Irving
p. Whitehead, representative of the
District Farm Loan Bank, of Bal
timore, was in attendance as the
principal speaker, and explained the
matter in detail. He left Harrisburg
last evening, highly pleased with the
prospects, and prophesying that
farmers of the county will ask for
more than 100000 even before their
permanent organization is effected.
Under the provisions of this act,
as explained by Mr.. Whitehead, the
Government, through the district
bank, will lend to any we'll estab-
lished farmer, a sum of money not
in excess of fifty per cent. of the
appraised value of his farm, and
twenty per cent. of the appraised
value of his farm buildings, figured
according to their usefulness. The
farmer pays 5 1-2 per cent. interest
on the money that he borrows, but
is prohibited from repaying any of
the principal for five years. After
five years, to make the payment of
the principal easy, one per cent. is
added to the interest rate, and the
debt automatically pays off itself at
the end of "a years. according to
Mr.. Whitehead's explanation. The
main debt, too, may be killed off,
at the end of five years by the re-
payment of the loan in multiples of
sos
