Presented by Young Folks
of Baptist Church
On Thursday evening the P. R-
R. Y. M. C. A. auditorium will be the
scene of an interesting and humor
ous playlet, "The Old Maid's Con
vention," given by the young people
of Tabernacle Baptist Church.
The plot, humorous in its com
mencement, more humorous in its
progress and a scream in its ending,
sets forth a convention of old maids,
who have met for the purpose of dis
missing ways and means of secur
ing a husband. The pros and cons
of the subject are debated at length
only to result in a quandry of opin
ions. Finally, Professor Makeover,
with his <\ssistant, appear with their
•Remodel-scope" for the purpose of
helping the old maids otit of their
dire perplexity. The function of the
scope is to transform the elderly
maids into charming beauties of
> outh—merely for the purpose of
ianding a man —a man, anything for
a man.
There are twenty-six characters
and great care has been exercised
in the selection of the costumes.
The participants are the Misses
Rachel Tingling, Sue Kawel, Mary
Hill, Bertha Meade, Catherine De
vout, Edith Kirkland. Beryl Kawel,
Blanche Livezy, Miriam W. Peirce,
Maud FetterliofT. Ruth Osman, Mar

Martin. Florence Bertha
Shader, Elsie Carpenter. Mary Mc-
I'urdy, George Carpenter. William
Meade, William Schader. Verna Ely,
Elizabeth Hall. Mae Pugh, Dorothy
Devout and Eleanor Ammerman.
Nothing has been left undone to
make the evening's offering worthy
of the large audience that the ad
vance sale of admissions indicates
will be present.

Snyder Reviews
the Truck Purchase
Auditor General Snyder, who held a
hearing in his investigation into the
purchase of trucks for the State High
way Department, issued a statement
of almost 1,200 words, late to-day, re
viewing the testimony presented to
him. He says that evidence was pre
sented to him that Herman H. May
was approached by Harry Dipple,
who was a sealer of weights and
measures when Mr. O'Nell was com
missioner of Allegheny county, and
who is alleged to have said that he
could arrange the sale of trucks if
the commissions were paid to him. It
is also said that "Dipple stated to
May that the .money would not go to
him personally, bitt would be used as
a part of the campaign fund of his
friend, Denny O'Neil. and his candi
dacy for Governor of Pennsylvania."
W. H. Moore, another witness, is stat
ed to have said that he was approach
ed by Dipple, who said he could put
him in touch with the State Highway
Department in relation to purchase of
trucks. "From Mr. Moore's testimony
it appeared that Mr. Dipple's proposi
tion to him was predicated oh the
payment to him of a commission for
obtaining the business which he be
lieved to be in prospect."
Mr. Snyder also says that J. H. Phil
lips, a salesman, testified that when
he went to see O'Neil and O'Neil said
that he should have nothing to do
with "small ward grafters," and that
any sales would be made without
graft and entirely upon competitive
bidding. The Auditor General also
says that Dipple said that the men
who testified about him were "liars"
and thta he never approached any of
them.
In closing. Mr. Snyder says, it is "too
serious a matter to close up at this
time." He also comments upon the
fact that the orilers for trucks bought
after the transaction were not placed
in Pittsburgh.

TEUTON PRESS
DENIES PLOT
Alleged to Be Engineered by
Entente to Smash Ger
man Army
Now York. —A mysterious plot
against Field Marshal Von Hlnden
burg and General Von LudendortT,
especially against the latter, alleged
to be engineered b ythe Enutente to
bring about the collapse of the Ger
man army, is discussed in a recent
issue of the Frankfurter Zeitung,
copies of which have just reached
New York. The article in part fol
lows:
"Unhappily we are obliged to ad
mit that the miserable method of
suspecting of disloyalty! all those
who doubt or criticise is no longer
new in Germany. In Frafice this
unhealthy trend of thought has de
veloped to a considerable degree,
ljut there are many signs that with
us, too, a mood is forming which
l'avors similar symptoms. Clarity
and frankness are the best weapons
in combating it.
"If there is any knowledge in of
ficial quarters of alleged intrigues
by the Entente against our high
command, let them be exposed for
all the world to see! Away with
the mysterious backstairs gossip!
Let us have clear, open, unmistaka
ble language. A stop should be put
to dark hints and warnings framed
in the style of detective novels.
"They only serve to increase the
already existing feeling of uncer
tainty and distrust and make an
impression of a high degree of irri
tation—an impression which can
only do us harm, both at home and
abroad.
Report in Several Papers
"Certain newspapers of pan-Ger
man or conservative complexion
have Just printed an almost identi
cal report regarding alleged Entente
propaganda against the person of
First Quartermaster General Von
Ludendorff, a report which is apt
to create a sensation and anxiety.
"Colncidently with the efforts of
the Russian high command to un
dermine the discipline and the lead
ership of the German army, it is
asserted that 'according to various
reports whose authenticity cannot
be questioned, the Entente is about
to enact, with the trickiest means
at its disposal, a propaganda against
the person of General Von Luden
dorff.'
"The report further says the En
tente intended to weaken Germany
by the employment of nefarious
means by making an effort to de
prive us of the leader who, as the
right hand of Von Hindenburg, is
indispensable to the German peo
ple. The Entente hopes, it is im
plied, that Aon Hindenburg would
voluntarily retire once Von Luden
dorff had fallen. As long as Von
Ludendorff is jn his present place,
the argument goes on, there is no
thought of peace. It is added that
the newest fashion of political war
fare is directed from neutral coun
tries, and that its center is in Swit
zerland.
"We must confess that this whole
story, in its mysterious, darkly hint
ing form and tenor, makes a very
dubious impression upon us. If
there is actually something known
of Entente plans to overthrow Von
Ludendorff—out with the whole
truth! We fully believe the Entente
capable of atempts to break our
home front and, if possible, to de
prive our arnjy of its leadership; if
the Entente could do these things,
it would most naturally proceed to
do them.
Perspective Is Lost
"Rut what has been so far said
about this sinister plan sounds so
adventurous and is so thoroughly
lacking of solid substance that in
its present form it can be regarded
as nothing more than a symptom
of the irritability of a press which
has entirely lost the proper per
spective of things.
"As long as Von Ludendorff is in
his present place, the story goes on,
"there is no thought of peace pos
sible. Does that mean that the En
tente will make the removal of Von
Ludendorff a pre-condition of peace?
That would be so stupid that we
cannot attribute such a plan to any
of the Entente governments, Cer
tainly it would not be one of those
'tricky means' to which the afore
said newspapers allude. However,
should there actually be agents' re
ports indicating such a plot, the
press which is so excited over it
ought to stop and think how pre
posterous, how unlikely, are the
chances of its realization.
"On the other hand, there lies
In these dark outgivings a" danger
to which we feel It our duty to point
on this occasion. The nervousness
which is evinced by them easily
may bring about a state of affairs
in which inconvenient utterances in
the German press might be branded
promptly with the stigma of 'En
tente propaganda.'
"This danger is the greater inas
much as the name of the Quarter
master General lately has been
dragged into the rantings of the
pan-German and annexationist press
which has sought to make Von Eu
dendorff the banner-bearer of a
certain political faith.
"This might be repeated some
day, and then the pan-German and
annexationist press could kill all
public discussion With the assertion
Lhat criticism by dissenting news
papers was 'Made in the Entente.' "
