there were quite a few people over
York county who observed the peculiar
shape of the mighty orb and drew their
own deductions. 1t is likely that most
of these observant ones knew right
away the nature of the phenomenon,
but some at least, simply remarked that
the moon looked funny" The eclipse
Of the moon last Friday was only one
of three interesting astronomical events
promised for this month. An eclipse of
the sun, which will be visible through
out York county, will occur on the
morning of November %, according to
astronomers, and a meteoric shower
will be seen on the evening of Novem-
her 15. The moon was in partial eclipse

AS yet there appears to be no reaii-
Zation of the Associated 'Press's pre-
diction of a few weeks ago that a few
weeks more would see the end of Boil
shcvism in Russia. On the contrary,
it would seem that after the eXpen-
diture Of half a billion dollars by
Great Britain, the only power that has
made any serious effort to overturn
Bolshevism, Lcnine is still as strongly
rntrenchcd as ever. Generals Kolchak,
Denekine and Yudcnitch appear to
have made so little headway that the
end of the campaigning season finds
them all without the circle of Red Rus
sia as winter comes on, and the up
per noble wealthy classes of the. cOun-
try have pCrishcd by the hundreds Of
thousands. LCninc is said to he more
than was the late czar and
any man who tries to disobCy his laws
az interpreted by hundreds and
thousands of under representatives, is
quickly brought to ruin. The new re-
gimc in Russia has now been eStab-
lShcd for two years. notwithstanding
Leninc himself said at the Outse, that
he did not expect 10 last more than
% days.

It was one year ago today that the

America went down on its knees in
prayer and thanksgiving. There were
few indeed who were inscnsible OF the
source of the mighty victory. There
are millions who have not yet forgot
There are millions who are forgetting
Since the foundation Of the world
Gods one unwaverinS requirement OF
man has been that he do his duty ac-
cording to the measure of the Ten
Commandments and the Sermon on
the Mount to mis- fellow men. Every
human being on earth has reason to
regard this day as the anniversary OF
one of the greatest in the annals Of
time, and all true Americans have a
right to feel, holy pride in the
knowledge that they have been es-
pecialIy favored of God. On this day.
however, it behooves all to remember
that to whom much is given much is
demanded, and unless Americans
measure up in what is now required
of them, what they have done goes for
nothing.

 The first preliminary match was a wrestling bout between Sammy Lewis and J. H. Mitchell, two grapplers of the 1855 pound class Lewis put up one of the finest exhibitions of defensive wrestling seen here in some time, but at last was pinned flat by one of Kitchells body holds.
 The rext bout was one that many fans looked upon as the best of the whole even- ing's entertainment namely, that between Railroad Route Stecher of Birmingham and Young I5ackenschmidt of Boston, These two boys put up a mighty fine match. which resulted in a draw, as Ref cree Thomas was unable to make q de- cision Eetween the two.

Both falls resulted from combination body scis- sors and arm lock, body scis- sore for the most part,
 Stecher was at all times master of the situation, and Paddubney looked danger ous only twice during the whole bout, when ne secured head locks on the champ. At times PadGubney seemed to have dan- gerous holds, but each time at the proper moment Stecher would slip out, revealing that he had the match well in hand.
 By one of his characteristic twists, turn Ing his opponents holds into his own ad- vantages, Stecher suddenly cane out of a toe hold, and securing body scissors and double arm lock, quickly pressed Padunneys shoulders flat for the first fall The second fall was mere repeti- tion of the first.
 Stecher, by his showing last night, deme bnstrated that he has lost none of his skill or science. He uses his legs with as much ease, us his arms, and, in fact, secures most of his holds with his trunks. Time and again he pet paddubney to the mat by kicking his feet from under him. In such falls .lle champ was always on top. usual ly with a lock or a scissors hold. Only on rare occasions did Paddubney obtain any advantage from an exchange of S1olds.
