AWAKE AT LAST, PLANS FOR NEW MILITIA After Four Months' Delay, Brumbaugh Begins to Get Ready for Force JIARniSBUrtO Pa, Sept. 19. Governor Brumbaugh yesterday, four months after the Legislature pro Ided tho means for tho orfranliatlon of the militia rsere of Penn sylvania, took tho first strps toward this organization Tho ret.enn Is to replace the National Guard, which has -now left the State. A conference was held by tho Governor with Colonel F D Beary Acting- Adjutant General, relative to the rcvrve which will consist of three regiments of Infantry nnd one squadron of caa!ry. The units, nccordlncr to tho Governor, will be located where there are State armo ries, and renrefntatlo men in these com munities will be selected to form the or tinliatlon if former National Guard com manders cannot be found to do tho work. "The preliminary details " nald the Gov ernor, "are In the hands of Colonel Deary, who Is now working 'hfm out " In a. short time there will be a statement mndn show ing where the new commands will be lo cated.'1 The unexpended National Guard appro priation, barely touched since the new fiscal year started In Juno, will be available tor equipment Lay Cornerstone of Bank Building The cornerstone for the $200,000 new building of the Northwestern National Bank, at Broad street and Talrmount ave nue, has been laid. Tho building, which Is to be sixty feet high, will be deotcd entirely to the bank's business. FEW coal dealers throughout the country have-had at any time this year a sufficient supply of coal on hand to fill their cus tomers' bins. Every absolute need for coal must be supplied. Nearly as many tons of coal must be delivered this year to the consumer as in former years, but necessarily must now be delivered to the indi vidual coal bin more frequently and rapidly than ever before. Coal must be constantly and equitably distributed as fast as itis being consumed. It is too late in the season for a railroad carload of coal to. be apportioned to any one consumer it must be divided and delivered to many. Coal dealers and consumers must co-operate in making and accepting deliveries of coal more frequently and in smaller quantities. Our two-ton power dump coal motor truck wiN solve the coal-distributing problem this fall and winter more efficiently and effectively than any other distribution.device that we know of.

I camo over from a vision of thn battle of Loos this afternoon on a long journey to the Dots do l'Abeyc, near a tiny placo called Fallowal, which I Ulted In April at tho tlmo of my first trip Into the devastated region. I mounted for the second tlmo tho winding- steps lendlnit to KItel Fritz's llttlo one-roomed rustle birch observatory stand ins upon a high elevation commanding tho country for miles around From Its porch, standing directly before tho doorway, over which 13 carved "Hubcrtus Haue," I had looked upon St Quentin four monthi ngo and at tho- Intact cathedral. This evening I saw It a mass of flamo in the near dis tance, witnessing distinctly this additional Bocho sacrilege through a groat trlpodtd glass Tho cathedral stands out a dominating thing In the landscape. As a burning spec tacle it was the true sight of a lifetime. As an cll deed, it-r burning ranks with the bombardment of more beautiful Reims. St Quentin I had visited four years ago when it was my happlne-s to study French Gothic for a specific writing purpose. It had a splendor and an Imposing dimen sion ecjual with greater edifices In the samo stylo to bo found throughout France Its nave, about thirty feet less In length than that of Amiens, and as wldo nnd almost as high ns Notre Dame do Paris, was cut architecturally into two transepts, forming thus In whole tho outline of nn archleplscopal cross This In Itself was a rare thing In French Gothic, and as I remember without looking up tho historical facts, to bo found nowl.cro else save In the ancient ruins of the church at Cluny From without.

Its designing was due to the art of Vlllard do Honnecourt, the celobrnted architect of tho time. Its nave was an admirable thing, and the light ing from Its windows on the same general order as Reims. Like the latter. It hnd preserved In the Interior sense, much of Its ancient richness In carving, nnd was orna mented with superb glass datlnc through tho thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth conturles. Many of its frescoes were pure moyen age, and a treat portion of Its in terior sculpture was painted nnd gilded upon the stone. Time had given this decora tion a mellowness beyond words Gothic grills in hand tooled Iron abounded within It and there wore a number of mortuary monuments. In particular the magnificent marble sarcophagus contaJnlnff the bones of St Quentin. For months wo hare been reading" thrtrach German papers that the Frenoh and Kngllsh armies were mutilating and bombarding the cathedral, and for that reason Its many trft&sures had been removed to Germany. iPilillllll ing 1 1 ISp iillsililsl Hill iHLugigBMl I Wmm Hi liuSSfltf IzImI m ch,nut st 1P We have thus known It haa been pillared, since It Is a matter or record that no single French shell ever reached the cathedral, and also, that this was expressly a spectflo order from the French high command. Now, with doubtUss all lta Interior movable beauties carted away, the Boches have set It on fire. They cannot blame an allied shell, since the city of Bt Quentin has not been under direct Are for months. It Is simply and purely another evidence of German vandalism, another addition to the many churches, great and small, from Reims 'to the most modest of village houses consecrated to God, that have been de stroyed by these evil Invaders from over the Rhine. As at Reims, nothlnir In the necessities of warfare made essential the destruction of this ancient Cathedral of St Quentin. Its burning; the great mass of devouring (lame I have looked upon, la but added evi dence of what tho Bocho Is, and an added score to settle nt tho great day to come when Prusstnnlsm Ii to bo a dead thing at the feet of the Allied armies. When I looked upon St Quentin the last time, a French offlcer took a few amateur photographs of "Hubertus Ilaus," which I was unable to secure In print In season to forward to the Hvenino Leooer with one of my devastation stories. And since they were sent to me a few weeks later, I have thought to toko them from my private col lection nnd forward thorn with this story. The very glass I looked through in April and again yesterday can be seenf It is pointing dlreotly toward the cathedral a few kilometers away, and, of course, Is not seen In the photograph.

They confer as to what stimulant would most likely prove successful, but usually resort to the old time-worn subterfuge of using the name of a piano which had a reputation before the concern went into the hands of the receivers for adjustment; but to make them appear worthy of your confidence, they are still stenciled the old name, although made by some one else, and carry with them the indorsements of Xaver, Philipp, Moritz, Homer, Louis and Emma. We wonder if these indorsers are requested to call each week to draw their salaries and protect the public from those peculiar dealers. q And don't the dealers by their advertising admit they do not understand tho business that they are engaged in? If they did, why employ outsiders to confer with them.
