EXPECT ARRESTS IN
 PHILA. MURDER CASE
Man and Woman Wanted in Connec- ton With Pcirce Killing
 Trailed to Wheeling

Philadelphia, Nov. 24.-The mar, and woman wanted in connection with the killing of Henry T. Pierce, the manufacturers agent who was found beaten to death in the rear of his office here Monday were expected by the local police to be taken into cus- tody today. Detectives left last mid night for Wheeling. w. Va. where motor car bearing the same license number and answering the description of Peirce's machine, in which they be- lieve his slayers fled, was left at a garage for repairs.
 Although the occupants of the car, two men and a woman have disap- peared. local officers said one Of the men and the woman were we'll known and they felt sure they soon would be arrested They could not account for the second man in the machine but expressed belief he was an inno- cent acquaintance of the couple who was picked up in flight across Penn sylvania. The police said they were confident the driver of the car was Pcirce.s slayer and that with his ar rest the pmystery virtually would be solved. They announced that late de- yelopments had caused them to aban- don the robbery theory and that jeal- ousy probably was the motive for the killing.
 Investigation it wss stated revealed that the man being sought is well known in sporting circles and was himself a former amateur boxer of New Jersey. His female companion was said also to be an acquaintance of Peirce. The three were seen 10 alight from Peirce's automobile and enter his office late Saturday night. fhe last time he was seen alive.

WHEREIN HE WONDERED.

'The Courant has always held that a league of nations that would as- sure the peace of the world Was a good thing" This statement appears in the Hartford Courant as a lead for an editorial entitled The, League of Nations" Statements and whatnots about the league follow, but the first statement Is enough to start us thinking about the Courant's attitude before Inc election. We would form the tentative opinion, at least. that he complexion Of the Courant was a bit anti-league. We realize that our thoughts have gone woefully astray. but we won't apologize for that We want to thank the Couran for setting us right on the matter. WI have not been alone in our thoughts that he courant was not exactly , throwing bouquets at the league, but

been left out of the scheme of exis- tCnce.
 Faith in country had been fully Justified and would continue to be justified. and his faith in his fellow man dated back to the year 1906 when he had learned for the first time perhaps that splendor of soul may be found clad in the filthiest of exteriors. matically he told of inc occasion when he had been de- layed for Is hours on a train in the Arizona desert. I'etulant and out of sorts at tho prospect of missing a lecture date he had seen the dirtiest of tramps enter the observation car in which he sat. He would have thrown the thing" from shc train out among the rattlesnakes which would have been fit companions for such a creature. he then thought.
 But the wistfuI eyes of the tramp had somehow appealed 10 him. MT. Bangs spoke to him patronizingIy. And then the miracle had happened.
 With musical cadence sf word and thought the tramp had discussed the fine arts with him-one who con- sidercd himself. up 10 that time. so much the others superior in thought. The tramp. murmuring the lines of RosettPs Lost Days" had been driven to despair ashamed to go on living but cheerful lines from the pen of Rosetti's sister came as the anti dote as they bade his friends not to mourn. In this tramp the speaker had seen his vision of pcrsouihed Lost DaSs'' and the remorse of them. In him he had found tho crime of pessimfsm. In him he had seen the good that. he believes, may be found in every man.
 There were SO many phases of Mir. Bangs lecture which impressed. amused and made sorrowfuI his hearers, that it Is possible to in- dicate but R few of them. The flash of the speakers eyes as he. spoke of the great work betng done. by Am erican girls in sFragce and as he asked.

THANKSGIVING.

were IhankSglNing Day to pe tdHit- ed with n particle of selfishness it would he a petty affair in this coun- try. How many would remark pessi- mistically What have I to be thank full for?" How many do make the remark thoughtlessIy?
 But the great, deep significance of the day that comes tomorrow is above thought of self except as such thought realizes. in spite of temporary un- plea sa ntnesses or even hardships. how thankful each individual should be in a big way.
 Thanks is not intended for the good things of the minute, the hour. day of year. Thanks is for all time for the great possibilities of life; for the splendid chg racter of men and women: for the scheme ofjc things under which men, womeR2.n ana ehil- dren may live in obedienSe tNr, the 1 laws Of God and man. surrounded by happiness and sources of joy and pleasure almost beyond the real con- | ception of men.
 The war is over. Those who look | only at the immediate prospect will point to that fact as cause of thanks | giving. This is q small view to take | of tho day. Were the war still on still there would be causes of thanks | giving, many of them, if only one believes in the great day when war | will hn hn dnx- tnNx ard | which each awful catastrophe of the sort is tending.
 We have no League of Nations | Many may refer to that as a cause for dejection. But no! Thanks should be given for the trend of thought that now for the first time has given ex- | precision and vitality to the contem- plation of a general union of alT men. The brotherhood will come. Thanks should be given that the tendency has at last been recognized.
 In a small way, therefore. we may
 be dejected and unhappy tomorrow. Those of us who are inclined to such a feeling are the ones wh1 will be
 satisfied with a fine Thanksgiving dinner. The man who takes the
 broader view of the day would be thankful were there 10 be no dinner for him. The things seen and felt, the thing in hand or in pocket, do
 not bring to the materialist the thanksgiving that comes to the man who is able to look back through the l past and to contemplate the future with the present day sign-post that stands so high and clear for all to see.
 Never have we had the chance to | be so thankful as we will have to- ! morrow. A speaker in New Britain last night-a learned man of letters | declared that man is ah optimist | who sees best because he sees hope | fully.
 The optimist will be thankful. He | will sec best because he has the pene- | traitor to see the good in every 1 man; because he has faith in his God
 because he has faith in his coun- try.
 And there can be no real Thanks
