Several hours after Doctor Gar r .ber so declared himself, Charles Brum Helms, state secretary of the I Pennsylvania Camp, Patriotic Order Sons of America, gave out a state ment by Gabriel H.

If Garber and Simon Gratz are in the way and can't see the light, we have 35,000 loyal Sons of America in the j city of Philadelphia who will show | the way." Mr. Moyer said: 1 "There will be no letup in Penn sylvania as far as our order is con cerned. We propose to push the fighting line up to the men who make the laws and to the Governor ! of this state to strike the teaching I of German out of the'public schools. I In the light of what has transpired land what is transpiring daily in the j Old World no decent and right j thinking person having any regard j for the Deity will want to hold com l munion or fellowship now or here after with any Prussian. The out rages committed and atrocities prac ■ tired are too heinous to be publish ed in the newspapers; no regard is had for the sanctity of the marriage relation, plural marriages art sanc tioned, good morals are beaten down and human beings are brought to the level of the beasts of the field.

How large the French forces arc that have come to help the British has not been disclosed. Field Mar shal Haig said last week that heavy French reinforcements were moving toward the battlefield. On the remainder of the British front and on the Picardy battlefront and French sectors there has been no infantry activity. Belgian troops north of Ypres have repulsed Ger man attacks and captured six hun dred prisoners in ejecting the enemy from trenches he had occupied.

There are reports that the local board may be called upon to appraise properties extending back over the old Camp Meade site, just east of the preseYit development, and at least, one farm to the north, but these have not been confirmed, although It j lis known that the government en- j I gineers have been looking over this i land.
