Capture o! Beirut May Release Harrisburg Family From Hands of the Turks Friends of the Rev, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, Jr., formerly of this city, and their two chlldroa, and Miss Margaret West, nleco of Mrs. Wil liam Jennings, also of Harrisburg, who have been held captives In Beirut, Syria, for many months, are rejoicing to-day In the news that German nnd Turkish troops have evacuated that ancient city. The Rev. Mr. Stewart Is treasurer of the Syrian Protestant College, while Miss West, whose father, the late Robert West, once professor in the- Syrian Protestant College, has been making that Institution her home for some time. Mr. Stewart ,Is a son of the Rev. Dr. George Black Stewart, former pastor of the Market Square Presby terian Church, but now president of the Auburn Theological Seminary. Auburn, N. Y. His wife, formerly Miss Janet Wilson, is a cousin of J. Robert Wilson, of Camp Hill, who, prior to her marriage, had spent all her life in this city. No communications from Mr. and Mrs. Stewart have been rocelved In this country for more than a year and a half, and grave fears hgve been entertained at times, for the safety of the couple as well as Miss West. Dr. Stewart, of Auburn, re ceived some time ago. in a round about way, news that his son and family were "still sticking it out" and though things looked dubious, they wero alive and well. Miss West continued to stay at the college after her mother, who had acted as assistant there following the death of her- husband, left for America In August. 1917. Since that date Mrs. West has received no let ter from her daughter, the only news from the latter consisting of periodic cables to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions under whose supervision the Syrian Protestant College is conducted. It is not known as yet whether or not the Americans have been able to remain in Beirut, though It is as sumed that they are still there. In telligence of this is daily expected from abroad.

And hundreds passed her by, nor no ticed That In her hand she held a telegram. And in her eyes—her brown and wondrous eyes— Were tears that ebbed and flowed. She sighed. And then with all her shaken strength She lowered her head and sobbed—a faint Inaudible sob that seemed to shake high Heaven with Its restrained intensity. And still they passed her by, nor stopped To question, in the midday light of noon. Her cause of grief, and the sad burthen O misery that was hers. Newsboys, and clerks, and women with Rustling skirts and all the train of Fashion and color of red and pink and Blue were all the same to her—mov ing Or standing still she saw naught but Blurred streams of colorless bodies In a soundless trance of grief. And then she raised her head With new resolve of bravery that was his. newsboys, and clerks, and women with Rustling skirts—and then a uniform. She lowered her head and the thing That was a sigh, a sob—restrained And mannerly, was sharp and piteous. She stands, a girl of twenty, no longer Upon the curb. But one, among the hundreds That pass the spot, has bought K thousand dollar bond To match her telegram. CHARLES EDWARDS. fl'oqsq>P^ua-oTOgg-,- I sJomrsiiga,aal(U,aada6i.n, J , 0 .

Senate Committee Cuts the Tax on Whisky Wklngtn Oeti 10. =— The Senate commUted ort finance had made a material cut in the tax rate tor die tilled apirltß, pruning the levy down from |S per gallon for spirits with drawn from bono for beverage pur poses to |8.40 a gallon and making a cut of |1.30 a gallon on nonbeverage alcohol similarly withdrawn, tinder the bill as passed by the House even nonbeverage alcohol was to have been taxed 14.40 a gallon. The finance oommlttee set this rate at $3.30. On the point of reducing the tax on distilled liquors there was some dissension among the Republics* Senators. They made the suggestive chargo that back of the movement to reduce the taxes were Democratic fears of partisan reprisal In wet states, of which the Democrats stand In grave fear. The protracted delay In bringing the food stimulation production bill with Its "bone dry prohibition" rider to a vote following upon the numerous conferences over it It was also charg jed was a part of the tamo plan to forestall unfavorable action by the wets against the Domocrats.
