Joseph Stockhausen, of Pitts

tion, local option nnd the nttltudo of the
United States toward tho warring nations
of Europe wero considered today at tho
conventions of tho Federation of German
Roman Catholic Societies of Pennsylvania
and tho German Catholic Women's
League of Pennsjlvanla.
Both bod(es began tho day's activities
with solemn mass of thanksgiving, tho
service for the Federation being held In
St. Peter's Church, 5th street and Glrard
avenue, and that for tho women's or
ganization being conducted In St. Donl
faclus' Church, Hancock and Diamond
streets. Following tho services business
sessions were resumed In St. Peter's
Hall and St. Bontfaclus' Hall respec
tively. A fenturo of the morning session of the
Federation's convention was an address
by Joseph Stockhausen, of Pittsburgh,
on "The Papacy the Bulwark of Liberty,
Truth and Right."
At tho final business session of this or
ganization this afternoon an address by
tho Rev. Dr. W. J Garrlgan, or tnis city,
will be given on "The Papacy, Civiliza
tion and tho jMlssIons." At this session
the election of officers for tho coming
year will tako place. A number of Im
portant committees will be appointed nnd
the city at which tho convention will
meet next year will bo selected.
The Women's League will hold a simi
lar session this afternoon and will also
elect officers and appoint committees, but
will nccept the city chosen by tho Fed
eration as its meeting plnco next year.
Tho final rneetlngs of tho two conven
tions will open at 8 o'clock this evening
when they will bo entertained at a "Kom
mers" at tho Glra'rd Assembly Rooms,
tth street and Glrard avenue. A number
of Informal receptions In the neighbor
hood of St. Peter's will also be held In
tho evening.
FIRE DRIVES WOMAN FROM
APARTMENT TO AN AWNING
Less Than Year Ago She Had Similar
Experience With Flames.
For the second time in less than a year,
Mrs. May Derbln was routed from her
home today by fire In her apartment at
253 South G2d street. Tho woman, In her
nlghtclothlng, climbed from tho window
to a metal awning over the street apd
was about to Jump to the ground when
two unidentified men climbed tho awn
ing pole and led her to safety through
tho window of an adjoining house.
Ono of the men tried to rescue a pet
cat which had fled from the flames with
tho woman. His humane Interest was
not well received, however, nnd after be
ing badly scratched on the arm, aban
doned the animal. It darted back Into
the burning npartment apd disappeared.
The cat's fate apparently was Mrs. Der
bln's first concern. From tho shelter of
a neighboring Btoro and a borrowed skirt,
she wept over the loss of her pet.
The- fire, of unknown origin, ruined the
npartment and the water damaged con
siderably the stock In tho fruit store of
Ellon brothers, on tho ground floor. The
loss Is about 509. Last November Mrs.
Durbtn was driven from her apartment
when fire started In tho basement.
