Doom of Germany .
Is Seen in Palestine;
Speakers Point Prophecy
Philadelphia, May 30. Germany
will meet her final defeat upon the
plains of Palestine, according to Bib
lical prophecy, the Rev. A. E. Thomp
son, pastor of the American Church
at Jerusalem, asserted before an audi
ence of 2,000 persons yesterday after
noon at the Bible conference on the
••Return of Our Lord" in the Academy
of Music.
Doctor Thompson was pastor in Je
rusalem at the outbreak of the war
and was driven from his charge by
Hie Turks. He is now field secretary
of the American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief.
"This is what ruled in Jerusalem
when I left that country," Doctor
Thompson shouting, holding a Turk
ish fiag high above his head. With a
dramatic gesture he hurled the cres
cent banner to the floor and placed
his foot upon it. Catching up a Brit
ish flag, he cried: "This banner rules
there now!" while a tumult of ap
plause shook the theater.
After describing the success of the
British armies in Palestine and Gen
oral Allenby's triumphal entry into
the Ho!v Citv, Doctor Thompson turn-
Ed his attention to the part Palestine
shall play in the future, according to
Bible prophecy.
He said the Jews w ill go back there
and have a great .nation, which, in the
fullness of time, will meet the on
slaught of a great "northern Power
—namely, Germany.
"For centuries prophets have pre
dicted tliat in the last great struggle
Germany and Russia will be united.
Doctor Thompson said. "Kzekiel has
said it. He describes how God will
put a hook in the nose of these great
warrior nations of the north and lead
them down to the plains of Palestine.
They will fall upon the Jews, they will
press them back, they will be on the
edge of a great victory, when Uod
will intervene. When their hosts leave
Palestine, after that mighty defeat,
only one in six will survive.
" \nd that will be the end of Ger
manv." Doctor Thompson shouted,
while the audience applauded. "That
will be the end of imperialism. Out
beloved President says we must have
a confederacy strong enough to make
war impossible. But Bible propheo>
says there will be ten kingdoms, and
one of them will increase in power
hevond all others until its ruler shall
defv the high heavens. The armies
will gather and a great conflict will
be on. when out of the heavens will
come our Christ, and he will destroy
the Antichrist."
Poles Remain Up Because
of Material Shortage;
Labor Is Lacking, Too
Nineteen poles of the Harrisburs
Light and Power Company in the
central part of the city are still
standing, although the time limit
fixed in the light company merger
ordinance ended yesterday, t it>
Electrician Clark E. Die hi, whan
questioned about the failure to have
the poles removed, said he under
stood the company had difficulty in
securing materials, but will report
the matter to Council and may rec
ommend a short extension of time.
Labor shortage is given as an
other reason for failure to take down
the poles. Mr. Diehl also stated
the city had been unable to com
plete laying the cable in North
Court street because of damage done
to overhead wires by storm necessi
tating the employment of all availa
ble men for repairs. The work will
be resumed soon, however, he said.
Plans have been completed for ex
tension of the fire and police alarm
systems in the Fourteenth ward as
soon as cable arrives. Mr. Diehl also
said as part of the fire rotection
plans for the state hospital in North
Cameron street a lire alarm box will
be installed at the institution, to be
used only in case of a fire there,
other improvements in fire fighting
facilities are being made at the in
situation, city officials said.

German Philosophy
Condemned in Address
Criticising the teaching of German I
in schools, pacifist talk and tiny I
study of writings of Germans, Pro-i
lessor C. H. YanTyne, of the history I
department of the University of!
Michigan, gave a patriotic address
to hundreds of city teachers assem
bled in the Technical High School
auditorium. He compared the two
gifts made to the United States—the
Statue of Liberty, by France, and
the statue of Frederick the Great,
Germany's ideal warrior. Philoso
phy of German writers came in for
a share of condemnation also, as did
pacifists and others trying to hinder
the preparations being made by the
United States.

HARRISBURG BOY SOON TO
GET BRITISH
Central High Grad Learns to
Fly Battle Plane With Royal
Flying Corps
The following letter has been re
ceived from William E. Lewis, Jr.,
who enlisted in the Royal Flying
Corps, December 19, 1917. He
is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Lewis. Sr., 709 Capital street, and a
member of Pine Street Presbyterian
Church. He has about completed his
course of training and expects to re
ceive his commission as pilot shortly.
He is a Central High school graduate
and attended Valley College
and the University of Pennsylvania.
His letter from Camp Borden, On
tario, Canada, follows:
"The camp in which I am now
located is about sixty miles north of
Toronto. It is in the heart of a for
est with lots of hilly ground, with
no towns for miles. The camp it
self is beautiful and rather a large
one. It was used last summer in
addition to the Royal Air Force for
training 40,000 infantry.
"The flying air is much better
here than at Forth Worth, as there
it was rather bumpy and treacher
ous. I had a machine up yesterday
for three hours, and I never had the
least bit of worry. Whereas in Texas
one would fly along and hit an air
bump and shoot up or down for fifty
or sixty feet.
i "Really there is nothing to flying.
I one cannot realize that when he is
i up a few thousand feet that there is
| nothing under the machine but air. I
J with earth in the distance. If you
i ever get a chance to go up with a
reliable pilot, do not hesitate be
cause vou will never regret it. There
is not a>! much sensation in it as in
some of the roller coasters in the
pleasure parks, unless stunting, and
then you do not know where you
are. I have taken dualing in stunt
ing. looping the loop, the Emerson I
turn and spinning nose drive.
I "I shall always remember my first I
j joyride. with my instructor, and I
i then my solo flight. The instruc- I
| tors take great pleasure in getting !
[ our wind up. but then I figured he
, valued his life as much as I did J
I mine, and let him carry on. My |
! solo flight was 7.500 altitude, it took j
j me one and one-half hours to ascend I
and one-half hour to come down.
"I am doing higher training at I
present, bomb-dropping, taking pic- 1
tures in the air and sending wire- j
less messages. It is very interesting i
and helps break the monotony of
the air. as it does get quite lone- :
some bv one's self for two or three !
hours at a time. Of course we find ]
all kinds of diversions diving at '
trains, autos, horses or anything that 1
moves along the ground. I had j
quite an interesting chase with a !
hawk, but T couldn't beat a bird at
its own game.
"Our instructors, who are offi
cers and who have seen active over
seas service, tell us the Hun is a
good fighter in the air. and it takes
a good head to bring him down or
drive him off. They are not sending
us to France overconfldenced. as i
they seem to give us the worse side.

London. May 30. Austria - Hun
gary cannot accept the new alliance I

and economic spheres.

FOR MARINE CORPS

mobile and will establish s quarters
immediately upon their arrival in
one of the prominent sections of the
city. The Marines will rtniain one
week.
If the drive niset-i with success, a
permanent recruiting rtctlcn may be
established here. Such was the case
iin Wilmington, Del., where the party
completed a successful drive last
week. Nearly 10') men enlisted with
the "Devil Dogs," among them some
of the prominent athUtes of the city
and prominent businessmen.
Plan Man Meeting
Throughout the week mass meet
ings will be held in theaters and on
street corners, when recruiting ser
geants will explain to the young men
the advantages accruing from the en
j listment in the fighting organization
t and the many military scopes it
j embraces. A committee of prominent
citizens, headed by the Mayor, will
, be formed for the purpose of co
operating with the men detailed to
I this city by Captain S. A. W. Pat
terson, officer in charge of the Phil
adelphia district.
Particular efforts will be directed
toward the enlistment . of men be
tween the ages of IS and 21 years
and those within the jurisdiction of
the draft law. This is in conform
ity with the instructions of Captain
Patterson, who believes that young
j men make the best fighters and the
I best soldiers.
I "I am very keen about having
young men in the organization," de
| clared Captain Patterson when the
| subject was broached. "I find that
I those between the ages of IS and II
: make splendid soldiers and have an
i easy time becoming acquainted with
j military tactics. They are also
I trained easily because they soon
adapt themselves to the life and are
j happy in their environment.
Registered Men May Go
"All men within draft age also will
, be accepted in the Marine Corps, pro
| viding they obtain releases from
their respective draft boards show
ing that they are not needed to fill
any particular quota."
The drive to be started in Harris
burg on Monday is part of a nation
wide campaign for recruits provided
j for by the passage of a bill in Con-
I gress recently that the strength of
; the Marine Corps be raised to 75,000
j to enable the Navy to put an entire
division of the "First to Fight" body
with Pershing's Expeditionary Forces
i on the battlefront in France.
The action was based on a rec
ommendation of General Pershing
that the brigade of Marines now at
tached to his force be raised to a
complete division. With 75,000 men.
the Navy not only could maintain a
division of 27,000 men in France, but
would be enabled to organize cer
tain advance base forces that have
been planned for some time. The
total strength of the Corps now is
about 43,000.
The Requirement*
Briefly, the requirements for en- !
listment are as follows:
The applicant must be not less I
than five feet four inches nor moke
than six feet two inches in height:'
weight not less than 125 pounds nor
Liberty Has Never Yet Called Us in Vain
I I '
more than 245 pounds: not less than
IS nor more than 36 years of age;
able to speak, read and write the
English language, and be a native
born or naturalized citizen of the
United States. The pay varies from
S3O to $75 per month, according to
rating and length of service.
After the applicant has passed the
physical examination he is sent to
Paris Island, S. C., one of the finest
military training camps in the world,
where he remains for about eight
weeks. His military education is

art of carrying on war in a scien
tific and efficient manner.
1 At this time there are also excel
lent opportunities for electricians,
telephonemcn and cooks. All stand
good chances of being detailed for
i overseas duty. Kighty cooks are Re
quired every month for overseas
duty. These men have excellent
chances and will receive increased
pay when detailed to active service.
