Harry Kuepzel, County Commis

met his political Waterloo nt 11:45
o'clock this morning nt the headquar
ters of Uic City Committee, Eleventh
and Chestnut, streets.
Everything was going splendidly nt
the convention of tin Women's llepub
llcan Club of Pennsylvania Samples
of powder, tooth paftc nnd other things
persuasive to the feminine heart had
been distributed. The room wns crowded
with smartly drcrsed women. The air
Itself was sweetly scented. From their
gilt frames on the wall, Brothers Ed.
and Will Vare smiled benignly.
Mr. Ktlenzel himself was telling Ills
:iudicncc-nbout marking ballots, about
going to the polls, nbout not being
afraid to tell their ages, nbout working
hard to get the City Solicitor back to
being responsible to the common peo
ple. When, suddenly !
Miss Gill "Wants to Know"
"I'd like to know what parly framed
the charter that made the City Solici
tor responsible to the Mayor nnd not
to Council or the people?" queried
Miss E. A. Gill, of the Tenth Ward,
but nt that moment of tin: fourth row of
carefully shined-iip oak chnirs.
Kor one brief second "llenc" reigned
in tho Republican sanctum sanctorum.
"I wns once told I knew too much,"
came back the answer from Mr. Kucn
zel. "But some party must have been at
the back of the change," returned the
cleat, cold cnll from the fourth row.
Well,' returned .Air, Kpeuzel, us I
the Legislature wns all Itcpublican,
naturally a -hem "
"Well. If the ltepiibliciin pnrtv made
the change," came tho rapid-lire re
joinder, "what are they dissatisfied
about now?"
There wns another second of silence.
Then n bright light dawned on the face
of the pilloried.
"It's a political situation," he snld.
A deep sigh of lelief followed the re
murk nnd there wns an intake of brenth
for tlie resumption of more pleasant
subjects. ,
Another Is Curious
"1 want to ask a question," came
rionting from the tenth row.
"Arc we llcpubllcnns or nre we
split?" said Mrs. Anna Donaldson, a
school visitor of tlie Thlrty-llrst dis
trict "Split, lady?" queried Mr. Kucnzcl.
"You nre Republicans."
"That means you're for the Major, I
take It," was the answer.
"I am a llepubllcan," said Mr.
Kucnzcl. "There is only one legal rep
resentative in tlie city elected by the
people. I am always for the organiza
tion. "Oh, I only wanted to kii.-." came
back Airs. Donaldson. "That s what I
came here for. I want to know who's
my boss.
Then Mr. Kucnzcl almost lost his
temper.
"Vou nro n llepubllcan," be said, in
tones of no smalt decision, "Remember
3 on are too young to walk before ou

can't exnect to know as much as a

The convention of the club began
calmly nnd peacefully enough. Sun
shine nnd blue skies hnd brought nrie
guted millinery and brightly lined
dresses.
As the women chatted lightly of ninny
things Mrs. John J. Parker, who Is
chairman of tlie convention, made her

Belfast. Aug. 10. (By A. P.) It Is reported here that military authori

nnd that all officers and men who nre away on lio.ldajs have been recalled.

Immediately on promulgation of the truce In Ireland large groups, of
soldleis were giaiited leave of absence In hnglaml.
A Belfast dispatch of Monday quoted the Irish News, tlie Nationalist
organ, as claiming to have unquestionable authority for stating that the
British Government's preparations for a renewal of the conllict in Ireland,
consequent on tho possible abrogation of the truce which has existed since
July 11, had been speeded up within the last three du3s to such an extent
thnt they were virtually completed.

expected that a decision wi 1 be reached
befnre Thursday.
I De Vnlera pointed to the virtually
impossible conditions surrounding ne
gotntlons with the Rritisli Government,
for the position, he md. was that of a
man unarmed facing a mnn pointing
pistol.

There were people who wanted t
negotiate to snve their faces, he contin
