The Idea for a State-wide celebration has

plan from one end ot the State to the

Patriotic citizens of all types are looking

WHEN STONE SAYS
HE ENDED STRIKES
Cramp and P. R. T. Offi

About Peace
CARMEN'S CHIEF AMUSED
Flynn Snys Fellowship Leader
Had Nothing to Do With-
Walk-out
The claims of the Rev. II. C Stone,
head of the Stonemen'a Fellowship, that he
had settled the recent strikes among the
employes of the Philadelphia Rapid Tran.
sit Company and the William Cramp Ship
and Engine Dulldlng Company, were riddled
nnd laughed at today by ofllclals of tho
corporations, by labor union leaders, and
by the leader of the faction of the fellow
ship which last week revolted against the
Rev. Mr. Stone.
Henry S. Grove, president of Cramps',
said: "I don't know that tho Rev. Mr. Stono
or any one else had anything to do with
tho settlement of the trouble at the ship
yard In fact we settled It ourselves." '
"The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany knows nothing of the Stonemen'a Fel
lowship omclally." said C. R. Falrchlld. Jr.,
one of the executive secretaries of the com
pany. "No doubt a number of our men
belong to the fellowship, but this statement
seems to bo only something to smile at, as
everybody else seems to bo smiling at It
this morning."
LAWYER HAS LAUGH
When Ellis Ames" Ballard, counsel for the
Rapid Transit Company, was told of Mr.
Stone's claim, he laughed and said he had
never known Mr. Stone's name to be con
nected with the strike or the settlement
thereof.
"The Idea that Stone ever settled or had
anything to do with the strike Is a huge
Joke." said Harry Flynn, local organizer
of the Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Operators of Amer
ica. "I never saw Stone about anything,
and I never want to. He never had any
thing to do with the strike settlement, so
far as rjtnow. nor did he ever discuss
terms oiftevances with any union men.
They were the only ones who struck, so
this statement that he settled the strike
Is aperygood 'Joke Indeed."' ?
Harry T. Baxter, leader of that branch of
the Stoneman's Fellowship which Is In re
volt against tho Rev. Mr. Stone, said today:
"The only thing I ever neard Mr. Stone
say In conectlon with that, and tho only
thing I ever knew any Stonemen to hear
from him In regard to that, was his an
nouncement at a meeting that he had Bet
tied the strike. As far as I know he never
made any reference to It while the strike
was on."
Mr. Baxter was asked If Mr. Stone could
pledge the Stonemen to anything .without
telling the Stonemen to what he was pledg
ing them. Mr. Baxter answered:
"How he could do It Is more than I know.
I don't see how It could bj done, I don't
think any men would let somebody else
pledge them to anything llko conditions of
a strike settlement."
DR. STONE ALSO LAUGHS
The Rev. II. C. Stone himself laughed
when questioned this morning concerning
the stories of the strike settlement, but he
refused to make further comments.
He was accosted as he hustled from an
all-Tnornlng conference with Fellowship
officials at his home, and at first he refused
to listen to the conversation of reporters.
He said he had no time to linger, but when
he heard the nature of the quostlons hurled
at him he paused a few moments on the
pavement to repeat that he had nothing to,
say. He also smiled.
The Rev, Mr. Stone addressed three meet
ings yesterday, speaking to large congrega
tions In Darby, North Philadelphia and, In
the evening, at St. James's Episcopal
Church, Twenty-second and Walnut streets.

LONDON, Sept . Officials of the Hoval

of tho two Zeppelins brought dawn rfnrlnv
.the raid of Saturday night and Sunday
morning witn a view to discovering secrets
or tneir construction. The raid. In which
more than fourteen or fifteen exeat air.
ships took part, was the most ambitious
yet attempted against England by;the Ger
mans nnd It was the first time that an air
fleet has been convoyed by submarines.
The destruction ot three Zeppelins, two
In the latest raid and one in a nrevloua air
foray against London, caused great Jubila
tion and leads to the belief that tho metrop
olis soon will be Immune from sky at.
tacks.
Considerable damage was done on the
eastern and southeastern coasts, but the
loss of two big, new-styled Zeppelins more
than offsets the losses from a military
standpoint
The charred remains of the airmen killed
In the destsuctlon of the Zeppelin near
Mangold have been collected for an In
quest. They probably will be burled with
military honors, as was the case with the
Germans killed when the L-Il was burned.
The sailors on tho other Zeppelin brought
down In the same county are expected to
be treated as honorable prisoners of war,
despite the Intense public feeling against
them. There are twenty-one of them.
Heports received early today stated that
about 130 persons were killed or wounded
In the southern and southeastern districts
of London. Fires were started, but were
soon extinguished. "
Military ofllclals declare that the air de
fenses of London have stood tho supreme
test In repulsing the fleets of raiders which
attacked the city recently and on Satur
day night In tho first Instance ah aero- "
plane brought one of the super-Zeppelins
tumbling to the. ground In flames. Latest
reports Indicate that anti-aircraft guns
scored the hits with which the two airships
were destroyed Saturday night. The latest
estimate of casualties put the number pf
men, women, and children killed In the rale
nt thirty. One hundred and ten were In
jured. Of this number twenty-eight were
killed and nlnety-nlno Injured In the metro
politan district of London.
Of the airships that took part In the
big raid Saturday night, only three of the
Zeppelins approached London for an attack,
and they were driven off by trie anti-aircraft
guns. The two airships brought down
fell near the little village of Mangold.
Bodies of the crew of one of the air cruis
ers, were found scattered about their burned
craft, badly charred. The twenty-one men.
comprising the crew of the second, were
made prisoners by a lone constable whe
was the first to reach the scene of the
wreck and then turned them over to the
military authorities.
