This Is tho gist of a message from

Tho chilling communication goes on to
say that the temperature has dropped 32
degrees In tho Middle West, and that the

rate of speed. Tho quality of the weather
may bo realized when It Is borne In mind
that tho highest temperature recorded In
the shivery zono today was 60 degrees.
Whlln nlwnviv tnA m.a.,1 hai

Weather Bureau Is somewhat pessimis
tic, and tho best that It would promise
for tomorrow was a general drop of about
10 degrees. Tho weather man said that an
area of high pressure following tho storm
of last night is probably tho cause of
tho change In tho St. Lavtrenco Valley
and thereabouts.

tho guests complacently discussed plans

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.
Tho United States will wait a "reason
able time" for Germany's side of tho sink
ing of tho White Stnr liner Arabic. But
it will not hold tho matter open In
definitely. Ambassador von Bernstorff
will be so informed.
It was learned today that this Is the
position taken by President Wilson fol
lowing his conference with Secretary of
State Lansing on tho application made by
Ambassador von Bernstorff that "Judg
ment and action be suspended" until the
reports of tho German submarlno com
manders operating off the Irish coast
reach Berlin.
Ambassador von Bernstorff, it 1b ex
pected at tho Stnto Department, will coma
to Washington Bhortly to confer with th
President and Secretary Lansing. How
ever, no appointment has yet been made.
When ho loft hero Bomo weeks ago he

not return until after this Government's

changed this, and officials are looking to,
him to come to Washington before th

'NELL'S' ROMANCE MAY
NEVER BE REVEALED
Family of Woman Whose Pic
ture Was Found on Dead Sol
dier Knew Nothing of It
The romance of tho swoman whose
picture was found on tho body of a
Canadian soldier, who was killed at the
battle of Vpres, will probably never be
known, for she died before the man who
carried her likeness next to his heart ever
thought of going to war.
Her Identity was discovered today. Bho
was Mrs. Della Bayer, who died at her
home, K25 North Clarion street! on
August 16, MIX
Mrs. Bayer's husband, Oscar, Is believed
to be in Philadelphia, but the relatives of
Mrs. Bayer havetfnot seen him for many
months. Her sister, Mrs, 'Mary Holston,
of 2430 South Watts street, was asked to
day if she could explain the fact that on
the back of the plcturo of Mrs. Bayer
was this Inscription:
Good-by and good luck. Harold dar
ling till wo meet again. Nell"
Bho said she could not explain It, and
thought that probably her sister had lost
a picture, which had fallen Into some
person's hands, who. for some obscure
reason, had treasured It. She pointed out
that her sister's name was not "Nell,
but It was suggested that often good
friends called each other by names that
v. ere not their own
Mrs Bayer had been married 11 years.
She was 28 years old when she died. She
left two young children. The young 1nan
who fell in battle and who carried her
picture was a Canadian. Mrs. nayer s
sister said she never knew any Canadian,
and she did not know that Mrs. nayer
had ever known any one from Canada,
The picture of Mrs. Bayer had been
taken at the Upp studio In thla city. It
fell Into the hands of J. P. neidy, pf the
Canadian cavalry, who sent It to the
Lipp studio with this letter:
"Inclosed Is a photo of some Philadel
phia lady and taken by you, Wa car
ried by a soldier from Canada, believed
to be In the Koyal Canadian Dragoons,
but who fell In the great charge while
saving the Canadian field artillery on the
blood-stalned battlefield of Ypre on April
24 Now, as this gallant trooper carried
it' to his death-and If you can't Identify
the owner-kindly Bend It to ono of the
editors of the newspapers, so they can
publish It."

GLOOM REPLACES JOY
OVER SUFFRAGE 'TORCH'
Emblem of Victory, Found in
This City, Again Vanishes
in New York
Philadelphia suffragists were plunged
from joy to grief today, over the Inability
of the New York suffragists to retain
their famous lost Torch of Victory aften
they had found it.
Early dispatches today said that tho
torch had been recovered In a Philadel
phia street car, and returned to Its right
ful owners, and there was much rejoicing
among suffragists.
Tho news had hardly been taken from
the wires when gloom charged and joy
retreated. Another dispatch Bald the $M00
torch had been left In the chargo of two
small boys during tho Jubilation exer
cises. It had vanished, and the boys with
It.
Tho torch, according to the first dis
patch, mysteriously disappeared from an
automobile at Atlantic Highlands, N. J.,
a week ago. It was picked up In a street
car in this city by Anthony V, Lynch,
Jr., a New York lawyer, with offices at
64 Wall street, carried to the Delta Kappa
Epsllon clubhouse, C08 West 30th street,
and presented to the New York BUffra
glsts last night.
Last week tho torch was turned over
to the New Jersey suffragistB In mid
Hudson, and started on a pilgrimage
through that State when it was lost.
A reward for Its return was offered,
but no Information was obtained as to its
whereabouts until a phone message was
sent to headquarters asking the officers
of tho suffrage party to como to the fra
ternity houso and get it
Mr Lynch explained that he was rid
ing In a street car In this city from
Spruco street to Broad Street Station
when he saw the end of the torch pro
truding from a carefully wrapped pack
age alongside of him.
