Thirty-one thousand Canadian troops will sail for service on the Continent within the next week. This announce ment was made olllclally by Premier Borden. Until then It was supposed that the first Canadian contingent would be 22.000 men, but upon the advice of the War Office it has been decided that all the troops now assembled at Valcartler shall be sent to the front at oncu. Thus, in cluding the Princess Patricia Light In fantry, tho Canadian expeditionary force will number approximately SI. 200 men nnd "500 horses. It will comprise 11 bat teries of horse nnd told artillery of six guns each. In addition, four heavy guns, 60-poundcrs, will go forwnrd, as well as n number of machine guns.

ULSTER WILL FURNISH DIVISION OF TROOPS Home Rule Giant Stirs Patriotism of Voluntesrs. BELFAST. Ireland. Sept. 23. Nation alist Ireland's patriotic nttituda toward the war since the placing of the home rule law on the statute book has disa bused the minds of I'lstermon of thn suspicion that the homo rulers might seek to take an unworthy udvantago of the war crisis. The result is that the recruiting at tho old town hall for Lord Kitchener's army Is proceeding as rapidly as the machinery can accommodate It. It Is clear that the I'lster Volunteeis in tend to furnish a full division to tho British. Herruitlng pioceeds with equal briskness in the provinces. Thu raw men are dispatched in contingents to camps In the north of Ireland to complete their training. The forthcoming visit of Sir Kdward Carson and Bonar Law is excit ing great Interest nnd the visitors will receive an enthusiastic welcome. If Lidy Carson, the Ulster leader's bride, accompanies him she will be re. celveil with iiartlcular warmth by tho Unionists. Carson and Law will come September 2 lister Oa, the anniver sary of the signing of the covenant. The feeling is spreading that the blotd plied by Unionists and Nationalists of Ireland In the cause of the L'mpire will make easior a solution of the Irish ques tion after tho war. If It does not cause that quostlon to disappear from politics. Meanwhile, Sir Hdward Carson and Bonar Law will be supported during the coming lslt by the whole body of UUter Union ist Members of Parliament.

If you didn't you have lots to learn. You will find In somo in stances that famous historians have greatly erred, that statisticians havo not been within gunshot distance of facts, and that you'll feel nt the end of the trip that ou should brush up on things concerning your own city. A trip on one of these "rubber-neck ' cars wns taken today bv nn livening Lodger reporter. He stnrted from Fif teenth and Market ureots in receptive mood, but before riding n mile wnR con vinced that he knew very little, Indeed, about places and events In his own city The llrst surprise came when tho car reached tho main po.stoillce. There tho marathon lecturer pointed to the statue of Benjamin Franklin and announced In authoritative tones, "There Is the statue of IJenJamln Franklin. It was upon this very plot of ground that Franklin flew his klto and got electricity from the clouds." Some of the other riders also were amoved. They made quiet com ment, but ns most of the passengers ap peared to be contented the statement passed unquestioned. One could half close his cyrs nnd plc tuie the guide enlightening an audience In a vaudeville house. Cllowing tribute was paid by the lecturer to prominent business establishments on Chestnut street. On reaching Fifth Ptroct, he an nounced that the Delaware Itlver was live squares east: alro that tho Atlantic Ocean, which washed the shores of New Jersey and several other States, was CZ miles cast of that. CONSCIENCELESS ENCPCLOPEDIA. Endowed with a vocabulary which would have done credit to a high school graduate, the speaker then went on Hko a human encyclopedia without a con science. The block from Fifth to Sixth on Market street was referred to as "greut men's row." Luckily there were no mem bers of the Pennsylvania Hlnlorical So ciety on board, for the guide pointed out the early homes of several Picsldents, half a iloreii famous statesmen and resi dences of others who helped make history In the days of the city's early struggle. At Seventh street he was obliged to drop history for commerce. All the de partment stores got the fullest praise and the prices of hats and gowns were not forgotten. In describing one, the lecturer remarked: "There Is a store so large that If a woman bought a hat at the Market street entrance and carried It over every Moor the hat would be out of style before she loft tho building." Just then a building hove In sight In which a white coated cook was turning acrobatic cakes. "That," shouted the guide, "Is a restaurant where a hungry man may get anything from a roast din ner to a piece of bread If he has a roll." This brought a smile and, encouraged, he went on. "There Is the world's largest Penn holder. City Uall, and It cost $.V "0,000 to hold Billy In place. Even at that he becomes Impatient on account of the deeds which go on under him." Up Broad street the car then wabbled. When the suburbanites on board wero surrounded by a batch of beautiful build ings the megaphoned speaker let his ora tory on at full speed. No stenographer could have followed him. A Hood of su perlatives was applied to the surround ing architecture. The facetious talker could tint resist the statement that Venus de Mllo on the Academy of Fine Arts ' lost her head on account of praise." "ISItOTilEUIA" LOVE" EXPLAINED. According to the guide, this is called the City of Brotherly Lovo because the Girls' Commercial School Is opposito the Boys' High School, nt Broad and Green streets. None of Philadelphia's financiers and the amount of their fortunes was forgot ten on the remainder of the trip up Broad street. When asked about a particular ornament which protruded from tho sec ond story of nearly every house on an other street, the guide looked wise. "They are busy-bodies." he said, "and on account of present financial conditions they are placed there fo that the resl dents may learn if there's a bill collector at the door." Later tho passengers learned that a largo plot of ground containing tomb stone was a cemeterv, and more enlight ening Information along this line was doled out until Pnlrmount Park was reached. lie showed the playgrounds for ciiildren to tho right, nnd the playgrounds for "pollcemun and nurses" to the left. Pointing to the statuo of an Indian which faces both places, he raid: "Even the lgllant medhino man cannot devise a cure for this condition." By way of educational Instruction, the guide announced, "No fruit trees can bo planted In the park, yet tho guards often find peaches In pairs on the benches." ,i the ear wu then very near the Schuyl kill Itlver, the speaker again became ser ious. "Ion can readily see," he exclaimed,, "that this Is a river. Every Saturday afternoon there's a boat race here be twoen the crews of tho Unlprslay of Pennsylvania and Glrnrd College. "What's that Hag on the west bank?" asked a passenger, "That is the flag above Fort Belmont, whero Washington nnd his army rested after leaving Valley Forge." WI1EBE PENN MET KNGINEEIIS. A wavo of patriotism swept over the tourits, and it was Increased when tho auto passed the statue of General Grant. The voluble historian called attention to tho fact that the General was facing the home of William Penn on the west bank, ami said Grant was ready to protect It Jut as well as he protected the North In sixty-one. As Spring Garden street was reached the guide pointed out a large mount to the right. "That's where Wlllium Penn met his engineers," he said, "and told them how to lay out the plans of Fair mount Park " This wns followed by a deluge of statistics, which was cut short only by the uppearanco of the Washing ton monument. At 2$d and Spring Garden streets the riders saw a small-pointed three-story building. "That." exclaimed the guide. "U the original ftatiron building, the first In this country. New York copied Its big building from this, just as It fol low ts Philadelphia in other things." By wa of Broad street, the travelers were then taken to the starting point. "We have certainly learned a lot about Philadelphia," admitted the bride and groom, The lecturer said that he was formerly in V'v theatrical business and could eloe a. ias : two, , ,.

ORGANIZED REVOLT AGAINST SMITH AN ANTI-PENROSE STEP Washington Partymen and Members of Republi can Ward Committee Wuold End Former Post master's Leadership. An organized revolt against tho leader ship of former Postmaster Thomas B. Smith, with a closely allied antl-Penroso movement, ha3 begun In tho SSth Ward. This was admitted today by members of the Republican Ward Committee. The first steps In the move to oust Smith have been taken by Washington party men. Smith Is a resident of Glenslde and, ac cording to those leading tho revolt, for a number of ears has not had the right to vote In the SSth Ward or to maintain his leadership there. Despite his Glen slde residence, Washington party men as sert he has continued to vote In the SSth Ward and has been tho actual Re publican leader. Republican committee men declare they do not object to his voting there, but opposo strenuously his muthods In enforcing his leadership. As a concrete illustration of his autocratic contiol, one member of the Ward Com mittee today pointed to the election of Joseph Smith, Thomab B. Smith's brother, as chairman of the Ward Committee. "Thomas H. Smith never had been a member of the Ward Committee until he was chosen chairman," tho protesting com mitteeman declared. "Wo were not asked whether we would accept him. but the word was passed out that he was to be placed there and wo had no choice but to eiect him. Please don't give my name, for if they knew I was fomenting a re volt I would be ousted ueforu manj days." A meeting of the Wnrd Committee has been called for tomorrow night when the et.tire itit"tion probablv will be threshed uut. The prime movers In the revolt admit that as ii-l they are a minority In the Ward Committee and declare that unless they can win others to their way of thinking, the protest will be futile. At present there are 72 members of the He. publican Ward Committee. More than 20. it is claimed, aro In sympathy with ths anti-Smith movi went. While there have been no open ne gotiatlons, co-operation between Wash ington Party men and tho revolting Ilepuhllcnns In the ward Is ndmltted. On the second rrgihtratlon day, Sep tember IS. William F. Klefer. a Jeweler, u Washington Party registrar and com mitteeman, challenged Smith on his at tempt to register from the ICtti division uf the SStli Wnid. The challenge was based on Smith's Glenslde -residence. Smith Immediately made allldavlt that he was u properly qualified resident of tho ICth division, lie wns then allowed to register. The matter was brought before the CommlttVe of Seventy nnd they Intend to make a thorough Inves tigation. If the facts warrant they will take the cas to tho courts. Ono point In common between the Washington Party followers and the Republicans In revolt Is a htrong antl Penrose sentiment. This Is admitted by roth sides. "The leadership of Mr. Smith In our ward," one of the Repub lican committeemen stated today, "Is for nothing else than to create a Pen rose condition, and '.he feeling of the n-ajorlty of the Republicans here Is not too warm for Mr. Penrose." If the revolt gains sulllctent strength fo act against Smith. It is believed one of the first steps will be to oust Milton K. Reedmoyer. the Republican City Committeeman from the 2-Sth Ward. To do this would require a two-thirds vote ot this ward committee. The New Congressman. "Well how's being a Congressman?" "Not what it's cracked up to be.

DENTON, Md., Sept. n3.-For the first time In sixteen years tho voters In the counties of Maryland have stnrted reg istering anew, the old polling hooks being destroyed and every voter being n quired under the law to qualify alt over again In order to vote this fall. The woik of registration, begun yesterday, is contin ued today, and will bo conducted on Oc tober C to 7. In Caroline, as well as other counties of the Kostern Shore and In tho western sections of Maryland, much llltlctilty Is expected by the party leaders and work ers In getting the country people to reg ister, and only by much personal exer tion nnd at a heavy expense for vehicles and messengers do they expect to get a full proportion of the old voters on the books. The only candidates to be voted for In Maryland this year ar thoso for the United States Senate nnd Congress, nnd consequently the party committees have not the advantage In stirring up political Intorest and "bringing tho peo ple out" that Is afforded In local elec tions. Generally, the Democrats look to United States Senator John Wnlter Smith to bear the brunt of tho expense nnd to provide means and methods of register ing the voters of that party, not only because the Senator Is a candidate for re-election this fall, but also because, as the State leader of the party and the dominant llgure In the nominating pri maries next year, ho will have a deep lntertst in the personnel nf the candi dates for Governor and the legislature. The Republican candidate for the Senate, Colonel Kdward C. Carilnstiin. of Bal timore, was the Progressive leaikr In 191! In Maryland.

Republican Candidate for est Political Assembly Seen in Lock Haven in 20 Years. WATSONTOWN. Pa., Sept. 23. Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh nrrlved hero this morning from Lock Haven, where In tho tho Garden Theatre last night ho ad dressed tho largest political rally of any party held there for twenty years. Half an hour beforo his address was scheduled to begin tho doors of tho auditorium had to bo closed to keep back tho crowds which wero overflowing tho nlsles and corridors. Daniel F. Lafean, candidate for Con-grcssman-at-Iargc on the Republican ticket, declared that Dr. Brumbaugh was a man not only of Gubernatorial but of the best Presidential timber In the United States. Doctor Brumbaugh opened a vigorous attack upon tho policy of tho Wilson ad ministration In harassing the people with a war tax as a specious subterfuge of an Incompetent administration to cover up a deflcelncy In revenues caused by tho present low tariff, enacted by the present administration. Tho declaration that he had never known a boss and that he never would called foith enthusiastic applause for Doctor Brumbaugh.

Tho efforts of hundrodes of women In Pennsylvania and particularly In Phila delphia to compel food dealers to bo more careful In tho display of food In stores, particularly tho sanitary wrapping of bread, has received a severe setback In tho public announcement of n ruling by General Counsel Woodward, of tho State Department of Agriculture, ex tracts ot which nro printed by Food Commissioner James Foust In tho cur rent Issue of tho official Food Bulletin of the department. Mr. Woodward rules that the law forces any successful prosecution to tho point whero It must provo that tho food Is handled In such a way that It Is ren dered contaminated, not In such a way that under certain conditions It might bo rendered so. For months tho Civic Club of Philadel phia, with tho support of tho Now Cen tury Club, the Phllomuslnn Club, tho Homo Economics Association of Phila delphia nnd tho Woman's Organization of the National Retail Druggists, havo been trying to obtain a ruling that would force the wrapping of bread, believing that In many cases disease Is carried through tho medium of exposed broad. The first intimation that tho desired rul ing could not bo obtained camo last March, when Mr. Foust, whllo stating that ho was In thorough accord with It, saltT that as ho understood tho Inw It did not authorize any such stringent or der. Ho referred tho matter to Mr. Woodward for nn opinion and was sus tained. Mr. Foust, In tho current bulletin, re views tho correspondence In tho matter to show how Inadequate are the laws of Pennsylvania on pure food legislation. Concerning the Jurisdiction of tho com missioner ho quotes, in part, as follows from Mr. Woodward's opinion: "It must bo conceded, I think, that as Dairy and Food Commissioner you havo no power to make laws. The Legislature of tho State Is the only law-making power under the constitution of tho State. The Legislature 13 not nlone tho only law-making power, but It has no power to delegate the legislative au thority vested In It by tho constitution. Therefore the Legislature has no power to grant you authority to make any law. As an executive officer, you cannot, by a rule or regulation extend tho law be yond Its letter so ns to make It Include anything not covered by a proper con struction of the law. If you cannot, therefore, under the law, punish a per son who delivers bread without the wrap ping of the snme, when you havo no rule or regulation on said subject, tho making of such a rule or regulation will not nld you In securing tho punishment of such poison."
