Our Language Borrows Pro

Multiplies Rapidly
"The English vocabulary has
Crown to greta size," says Professor
Clark S. Northup, of Cornell Univer
sity, one of the editors of the New
Universities Dictionary now being
distributed by this paper exclusively
to Its redaers; "the number of words
found in Old English literature does
not exceed thirty thousand: recent
dictionaries have listed more than
four hundred thousand, mostly of
foreign origin. Yet most writers use
mainly English words.
"Shakespeare used 90 per cent, of
English words; the English Bible
contains 94 per cent.; Milton, 81 per
cent.; Addison, 82 per cent.; Tenny
son, 88 per cent. Most of our short
est and simplest words are of native
origin.
"If any language comes into close
contact with another, there is likeli
hood of word-borrowing. English is
one of the most cosmopolitan of lan
guages. From the French it began
to borrow even before the Norman
conquest; after that, as intercourse
with France increased, it borrowed
heavily from the Norman and Pa
risian French. Many Spanish and
Italian words have come in as a re
sult of commercial ctivity."
Floods of coupons continue pour

looks as though the raid on the sup

Only two hours before he died
General Stewart sent for Chief Clerk

TUESDAY EVENING,
of the most widely-known men in
Pennsylvania as he had been in the
State's military establishment from
tho Civil War In which he served as
a volunteer and had campaigned in
overy county, being noted as an ora
tor and after dinner speaker.
General Stewart died on his birth
day. He was born near Belfast, Ire
land, Soptember 11, 1848, but was
brought to this country when less
than a yoar old. He grew up In Nor
ristown, where he attended the
schools and then attended Quaker
City Business College. When only
sixteen years of age he enlisted as a
private In the 13 Bth Volunteers and
after the war engaged in glass manu
facture in which he remained until
1882.
Long Military Record
General Stewart was elected to the
House of Representatives from
Montgomery county In 1884 and
served for two years.
The military record of General
Stewart Is a long one. Three years
after the close of the war he became
connected with a Montgomery county
unit of the Guard and in 1877 was
appointed adjutant of the Sixth
Pennsylvania Regiment and in 1889
became assistant adjutant general of
the First Brigade and was reappoint
ed in 189 4. He had much to do with
the development of the Guard after
Its reorganization and on January
15, 1895, he was appointed Adjutant
General by Governor Daniel H.
Hastings. He has been reappointed
by every Governor since, tilling the
office of Adjutant General of Penn
sylvania longer than any man in the
history of the State and laboring
constantly at his desk. General Stew
art refused to take vacations and
handled all the details of the military
arm himself.
Refused to Heed
After the transfer of the Guard
to the United States in 1898, he or
ganized the Provisional Guard and
was engaged in working out plans
for formation of the Pennsylvania
Reserve Militia under the act of
1917 to take the place of the troops
now in federal service the day before
he died. He had been going over
names of men to organize the units
and considering location of the com
panies. Although urged by friends
not to undertake this work so soon
after the strain of attending to the
mobilization of the Guard for war.
General Stewart refused to abandon
it, promising to take a rest when the
task was ended.
Mainstay of Guard
General Stewart attended every
encampment of the National Guard,
division and brigade for more than
forty-five years and in the last two
decades has been the mainstay of
the Guard. He was called upon to
reorganize the State militia half a
dozen times, the last time in ac
cordance with the national defense
act, which work was in progress
when the Guardsmen were mobilized
at Mt. Gretna for Mexican border
service fifteen months ago.
A book could be written, upon his
labors in the military affairs of the
State and he exerted a wide In
fluence in national military affairs.
Under his administration the Penn
sylvania Guard went to the fore
front of the organized militia.
General Stewart served as a mem
ber of the militia board of the War
Department for several years and
was frequently called to Washing
ton.
Throughout his long military
career General Stewart wrote all of
the orders isued by his department
and personally looked after details
of equipment and other matters
which would have long ago worn out
less vigorous men.
Helped Organize G. A. R.
General Stewart was active in the
I formation of the G. A. R. and In
1882 wan named as assistant ad-
Jutunt general of the organization
for Pennsylvania, serving for six
yoars and of the national organisa
tion In 1883. In 1890 he Was
chosen department commander for
Pennsylvania and when General J.
P. 8. Gobln was chosen, national
commander, General Stewart Waa
made adjutant general being reap
pointed twice and in 1902 being
elected national commander In chief.
When the Stute established the
Soldiers and Sailors Homo ut Kilo
General Stowart was one of the com
mission which located It and has
since served as a member of the
board of trustees, serving as secre
tary since 1886. He was also a
member of the Soldiers Orphans
School Commission and has been a
member of vartous State boards. One
of the commissions which he di
rected was that which had charge
of the transfer of the battle flags to
tho rotunda of the new Capitol,
when veterans of almost every Sate
regiment of the Civil War gathered
here.
General Stewart was elected Sec
retary of Internal Affairs in 1886
and re-elected in 1890. He resigned
to become Adjutant General.
For years General Stewart was
prominent In Masonic circles and
with the late Dr. Henry Houck,
Secretary of Internal Affairs, was a
speaker at banquets in this city. The
two men had campaigned together
and were close friends and the sud
den. death of the secretary affected
General Stewart greatly.
The General was connected with
several business concerns and was
president of a newspaper company
at Norristown and a director in the
Union Trust Company in this city.
Few men in Pennsylvania have oc
cupied a prominent place continu
ously in the last generation and few
were better known or had more
friends.
l'Miii-rnl Friday
The funeral services for General
Stewart will be held at his residence
in this city, Friday evening:, at 7.30
o'clock, and will be conducted by the
Rev. l)r. George Kdward Hawes, pas

The Adjutant General's Department
at the Capitol was closed immedi
ately .upon the announcement of the
general's death and the flags on the
Capitol placed at half staff. Mes
sages were sent to Governor Brum
baugh in Maine and General Clement
at Camp Hancock.
General Stewart is survived by two
sisters, who made their home with
him, and two brothers. Mrs. Stewart

Rumor Kerensky Head
I-ondon, Sept. 11.—The Swedish
Aftonbladet says the correspondent
at Copenhagen of the Exchange
Telegraph Company publishes a
rumor could not be confirmed,
who have arrived at the Danish cap
ital from Petrograd that Premier
Kerensky had been killed by a
member of the Bolshiviki. The
rumor could not be confirmed .
Petrograd, Sept. 11.—No report
has yet been received of a collision
betwe'JU government troops and the
forces of Gen. Korniloff which are
coming toward Petrograd. It is offi
cially stater that a part of the rival
forces met near Luga and communi
cated with each other without hos
tilities breaking out. One of Gen
eral Korniloff's detachments is said
to be advancing from the Narva.
Both sides are still organizing and
appealing for support.
The Bourse Gazette says the cav
alry which General Korniloff sent
against the capital reached Duo, 120
miles from Petrograd. The military
section of the Council of Soldiers'
and Workmen's delegates at Petro
grad had sent emissaries to explain
the character of the movement of
the officers of Korniloff cavalry. The
delegates delivered Premier Keren
sky's order of the day and the ad
vance of the cavalry stopped at Dno
to await further instructions.
Fleet Is Loyal
Premier Kerensky has sent in
structions by wireless telegraphy to
all railroad organizations requiring
officials to refuse to obey any order
from General Korniloff. The pre
mier has received a telegram from
the commander of the Baltic fleet
promising support.
It is stated that General Kaledines,
of the Cossacks, has telegraphed to
Premier Kerensky threatening that
if he does not accede to General
Korniloff's demands the Cossacks
will cut the Moscow railway, thus
isolating Petrograd.
Tear Up Tracks
Government officials are tearing up
the railway track at Semrino, forty
versts from Petrograd, in order to
stay the approach of General Korni
loff's troops, the so-called "sikava"
or ' savage division." A special train
which left Petrograd during the
night for Semrino carried the chiefs
of the railway departments,_a large
staff of workmen and representatives
of the Council of Workmen's and
Soldiers' Delegates.
General Korniloff's "sikaya" divi
sion which was formerly stationed
Bt Pskoff and consist of Georgians
and other Caucasus tribesmen, is re
ported to have occupied Writza or
Tattle Yyrayn, on the Petrograd-
Ttylnsk railway, 54 versts from Pet
rograd.
IF YOUR EARS RING
WITH HEAD NOISES
If you have Catarrhal Deafness or
head noises go to your druggist and
get 1 ounce of Parmint (double
strength), and add to it % pint of hot
water and 4 ounces of granulated
sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four
times a day.
This will often bring quick relief
from the distressing head noises.
Clogged nostrils should open, breath
ing become easy and the mucus stop
dropping Into the throat. It Is easy
to prepare, costs little and is pleas
ant to take. Any one who has Ca
tarrhal Deafness or head noises
should give this prescription a trial.

45 PER CENT. NEW
QUOTA TO GO SOUTH
[Continued from First Pn*c.]
day created a surprise. In addition
to Increasing: the quota, the Provost
Marshal dlrocts that the men be sent
In flvo dally Instalments, as nearly
equal as possible. These men will all
go to Camp Meade, there being no
change In the quotas to go to Camp
Lee and Camp Sherman. The new or
ders also mean added work to be done
Hy the local exemption boards and
the appeal board. In order to have the
necessary men certified for a week
from Wednesday. Only 133 men have
been certified from Dauphin county so
far and unless the appeal board at Its
meeting this week breaks all previous
records there will not be sufficient
men on hand to fill the quota.
Steelton has twenty-seven men cer
tified, Paxtang seventy-one and Eilz
abethville thirty-five. Steelton has
sent an added list of 112 names to
the appeal board for certification to
day. and the other two boards have
either sent in another list or are rap
idly preparing one for the present
session of the board. No preparations
had been made for the reception of
the new orders and the boards have
been caught unawares. Indications
point that the only way possible to
secure the required number is to take
all those who have passed without
claiming exemption and sending them
along with those who have been cer
tified by the appeal board.
Act on Claim**
At the meeting of the appeal board
this morning in the House caucus
rooms in the Capitol twenty-one
claims for exemption from Franklin
county were acted upon and of this
number four claims were denied, three
were allowed, and thirteen were sent
back to the claimants for further In
formation. The other action was upon
a decision of the local board and this
was reversed. The claimant produced
affidavits from doctors stating that
he was physically unfit although he
had been passed by doctors of the
local boards. At the rate the board
has been acting upon claims and the
delay caused by the laxity of the
claimants in filing claims and caus
ing them to be sent back for further
information, drags work along at a
slow rate and it will be some time
before all the claims are acted upon.
The new list of 112 names sent to
the board by Division No. 1 will in
all probability be acted upon late to
day or to-morrow.
Yesterday the board at Division 2,
with headquarters in the Dauphin
building, examined forty-three men.
To-day forty-seven more were exam
ined and the results will be made pub
lic to-morrow. At Elizabethville,
fifty-four were examined yesterday,
and of this number thirty passed,
twenty-four were discharged and
seven did not claim exemption. These
two boards will continue examina
tions during this week and after all
those summoned on this last call have
been examined, it is more than likely
that others will be called. The list
of those certified and returned to the
Paxtang board will be published to
morrow. Both divisions 2 and 3 are
behind in the certification of the re
quired forty-five per cent.
Thirty-seven More Certified
Thirty-seven names were returned
to the local exemption board at Eliz
abethville yesterday as certified by
the district appeal board. The
names represent the men that will
go to Camp Meade with the first
contingent September 19. This board
is still behind in certifying the num
ber of men necessary for the first
contingent and eleven more are nec
essary. These are expected to be
secured in the list that has been sent
to the district board to be acted
upon at its meeting to-day. Yester
day the local board examined 55 men.
Of this number 41 passed, 32 claimed
exemption, 9 claimed no exemption
and 14 were discharged. The list of
those that were certified by the dis
trict board is as follows:

Must. Certify Back
State draft headquarters to-day
called the attention of district boards
to the fact that they must certify
back to local boards enough names
to start the shipment of drafted
men to Camps Meade, Sherman and
Lee on Wednesday of next week.
Some of th*> district boards are be
hind with (heir work and from in
quiries made here it is believed that
it is not realized that certification of
names should be made as far as pos
sible In advance.
Attention of all boards has been
called to the fact that the next
movement is to be started on Sep
tember 19 and that the number of
men to be sent has been increased.
Arrangements ar£ now being made
with the railroads to forward the
men and it is planned to have the
Pennsylvania contingents go In spe

WEST SHORE NEWS I
LEMOYNE FAVORS ANNEXATION
OF WEST SHORE TO HARRISBURG
Firemen's Union Arranges For Public Meetings in Five
Towns to Place Matter Before Businessmen

Lemoyne's progressive stand in the
annexation of the West Shore to
Harrisburg, caused the West Shore
Firemen's Union in session ftt Camp
Hill last night to arrange for meet
ings in every West Shore district and
town except Lemoyne and Worm
leysburg. The annexation move was
started by the West Shore Firemen's
Union and Lemoyne was the first to
take up the matter thoroughly. The
businessmen of this town are now
circulating a petition among the tax
payers and expect to have about 85
per cent, of the taxpayers sign in
favor of the improvement, although
it only taxes 60 per cent, to ask ad
mission to the city. Wormleysburg
has also favored the move, but no
petition has been circulated yet. Le
moyne businessmen were heartily
congratulated by members of the
Union last night on their splendid
work in giving the move impetus.
The Union decided to hold meet
ings in five of the West Shore dis
tricts to encourage the move. The
sessions will be in charge of the dele
gates to the Union and will be ad
dressed by prominent men, well
versed on the annexation proposition.

Much stress was put on a report
from Lemoyne concerning the con
dition of the Cumberland Valley and
Reading Railroad bridges at Le
moyne. A committee from the Union
will go before the State Highway
Commissioner and ask that a side
walk and guard rails be provided on
the bridges.
At the Reading bridge there is no
footpath for pedestrians and at the
northern end of the Cumberland Val
ley bridge, pedestrians are compelled
to walk on the bridge entrance for
some distance, without any protec
tion from automobiles or teams.
Several pedestrians have recently
escaped serious injury while walking
up this entrance. The Union will ask
these improvements as safety-first
measures. The committee will also
ask the commissioner to place the
road between Lemoyne and New
Cumberland in a better condition.
This committee Is composed of John
