OTTAWA. Ont.. Sept. 23.
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.
It Is announced that a second contin
gent of 19,000 men will be recruited Im
mediately nnd sent to the front before
November. This will bring tho Canadian
fighting force at the front up to GO.000
men and troops will be sent from time to
time to keep the force up to that fighting
strength.

Home Rule Giant Stirs Patriotism of

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.

Did you over view Philadelphia from a
sightseeing auto? 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

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.

"Not what it's cracked up to be. Been
In Congress nearly three months now,
and ain't been able to get on no Junket

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.

Daniel F. Lafean, candidate for Con-grcssman-at-Iargc

a man not only of Gubernatorial but of
the best Presidential timber In the United

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

Doctor Brumbaugh. After this declara

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."
