2 POSTAGE STAMPS AND POSTALS AT THE OLD RATES Senate Committee Provides For Change, Which Is to Co Into Effect July 1 WaxhlnKlon, Nov. 30. After July 1 next, a two-cent stump will curry a letter anywhere and a postal card may bo bought at the old price of one cent. Publishers of newspapers and periodi cals may send their product to any point within a radius of 200 miles at the rate of one cent a pound, und be yond that for one und a half cents a pound. The decisions were reached by the Senate finance committee, which is re drafting the revenue bill in the light of new developments resulting from tho signing of the armistice. Of course, the action of the finance committee must be ratified by the Senate aird agreed to by the House, but It is re garded as certain that both houses will agree to the changes now that the war is over. Generally speaking, the changes which were votod into the revenue bill by the finance committee restore the pre-war rates on second class as well as first clash postage. Instead of the present rate of three cents an ounce on letter mail, and a two-cent rate on postal cards, each is reduced one cent. Before the war publishers were able to send their newspapers and periodicals anywhere in the Unit ed States for one rent a pound. Heduces Zone System The action of the Senate commit tee. which was taken !>y a vote of tu to 3. almost wipes out tho zone sys tem for which Postmaster General Burleson fought so hard. Instead of eight zones with trans-, portation charges graded according to the length of the haul, the country. | according to the plan °, f , tb .° i committee, will he divided into two zones—that of 200 miles, and beyond. Furthermore, the action of the com . mittee assuming that it is written in to the law, will prevent the graduat- , ed Increase in publishers' rates, based on percentages of advertlslng to reading matter, which were to hare I gone into effect on July 1 next. It is believed "that the action of the c °™~ | mittee will eliminate the future con troversy between newspaper anil | magazine publishers resulting fionii the" zone system proposals of recent years. 32,000 Names Added to the Casualty Lists; Total Reaches 265,839 By Associated Press Washington, Nov. 30. —The new casualty reports add more than 3 2,- 000 names to the American total for the war.

Haas preached j a remarkable sermon in Ohev Sholom temple lust evening tn connection with Feast of Light, Clianukah, serv ices which attracted a large audience. "The Modern Macabees" was liis ser mon and he compared the spirit of i Jewish soldiers in the armies of the Allies with the Maccabees of old, who died for freedom In tite old days. "It was a tight then as now. against the autocracy, political and religious —a war to .prevent one man's views ] being forced upon thousands who resented it." said Rabbi Haas. It i was "the few against the many, the weak against the strong, the rignteous against the unrignteous," and the Maccabees sacriilced their Uvea for their ideals. Their spirit, said lJr. Haas, appears to have de scended through the ages to the Jew ish soldiers of to-day, who by their deeds and sacritlces have emulated the Maccabees of old. He likened all the men uf all the Allied armies also to these ancient Maccabees land paid a high tribute to the women of America, France.'ltaly and England, for the wonderful part they have played in the war. Children participated in the serv ices last evening, singing patriotic songs and taking part in a pageant of the nations. To-night, under tiie auspices of the Harrisburg branch 6f the Jewish Welfare Work Com mittee, there will be held an affair for the soldiers of Middletown, New Cumberland and Carlisle and for vis iting soldiers and sailors.

There will be parades und speech- j es and red tire and hurrahs. There j will he handshaking, and tears of j joy: there will he special services in the churches. There will be ach ing hearts, too, for the boys who will never come home. But when the red lire has burned out, the parades and speech-making are over, tho hurrahs have died away and the handshaking is finish ed, the soldier boys und the sailor boys ure going to make certain in quiries. "What were you all doing while | we were over yonder?" will be the first query. "Were you 'carrying on' I back home?" Then it will be possible for thou- | sands of us to reply thut we were j carrying on; that we, too, wefe | lighting a good light and were keep- ! ing the faith. There may he some I among us who will Hush guiltily. Every red-blooded citizen of i Pennsylvania and Delaware, owes I it not only to the Red Cross, tiuV to ! himself, to sec either that he joins | the Red Cross during the Christmas ; Rolleall drive, or renews his mem- j bership. This campaign begins December | 16 and will continue one week, j Memberships are only $l. The nn tion-at-large is asked to furnish 55.- i 000,000 members. Pennsylvania and Delaware are asked for .6,000,000 ! members. I suggest that the entire popula-' tion of Pennsylvania and Delaware constitute itself a general commit tee to see to it that Red Cross mem- ! bership is universal. All that is required -is a Heart and a dollar. PERSHING NAMES 80,000 TO COME HOME [Continued from First Page.] | Distinguished Service Menial on I General Bliss.

General March corrected an er- ■ roneous impression that the 27th j and 30th divisions, reported as \ withdrawn from the British lines had been designated for early return to the United States. Those two di- j ! visions, he explained have been re- j ! turned to Pershing's* command and j i have not been assigned for trans- | portation home. Plans for bringing soldiers home, i it was announced, include the use of ; hospital ships for severely wounded and specially fitted transports for j the slightly wounded and eonvales- I cents, on the arrival the men will j be met by hospital trains and the • Pullman Company has been direct- ! ed to convert a number •of sleepers! into hospital cars to carry to the j army reconstruction hospitals, base ' hospitals and other places already j provided.

Stack pole, of the 113 th Field Artillery, In ■ France in u t-ecent letter to the home folks here enclosed a leaflet dropped |by a German airman over the | American lines. Ho says: "The Germans are surely amusing, 'so thick-headed. For instance, just a few moments ago a cross-marked plane swept across at a very low : altitude and dropped a sheaf of | white papers. Several fell near our : position, the ignorance and mis -1 understanding of the pleas, amuses | me: it's so thoroughly Hoche.

I The leaflet, heading and all. is as I as follows: Till: BETTER PART OF VALOR Are you u brave man or a coward It takes a brave man to stand up for his principles. Cowards stand behind leaders and die, imagining that by so doing they become heroes. The motive of an act is its measure. If you think the war is hell and that you as a citizen of the United States of America have no business to be lighting • in France for England you are a coward to stay with it. If J yort had the courage to faee j criticism you would get but and over the top in no time to a place where there is some like lihood that you may see home I again. | What business is this war in I Europe to you anyhow? You i don't want to annex anything, ' do you? You don't want to give up your life fcr the abstract thing' humanit] If you believe In humanity | and that life is precious, save | your own life and dedicate it to the service of your own country and the woman wliq deserves it of you. I.ots of you fellows are staying with it because you ore too cow j ardly to protest, to assert your own wills. Your wills are the best judges of what Is best for you to do. Don't ask any one's opinion as to* what you would better do! You know best what is the right thing to do. Do it | and save your life! Germany never did any harm to you, all the newspaper tales of wrongs Were printed to inflame you to the lighting pitch, they were lies, I you know you can't believe what | you read in the papers. If you stay with the outfit ten I chances to one, all you will get j out of it will be a tombstone in France. Lieutenant Stackpole writes fur ! ther: "One thing 1 do want and that | is to be a part of the army of oecu | pation which will go into Germany. 1 I know I don't want this war to end j until I, have the satisfaction of seeing !

SO.—The alms of the new German Democratic party, the appeal of which for comprehension and support has been sent to Presi dent Wilson, were outlined to the correspondent to-day by Theodore Wolff, editor-in-chief of the Berlin Tageblatt. It was on his initiative that the party was formed. He said: "Our party has been formed to sup port the republic, to further demo cratic reforms on a Socialistic-eco nomic basis and to furnish a rally ing point for the middle classes and keep them from falling Into the power of the reactionaries. The party will, naturally, oppose Bolshe vism with all means at its command. In other words, we aim to win and hold the middle classes for democ- j racy." Herr Wolff explained that, in keep- j ing with the party's alms, all former j members of the progressive or other . parties who have been active in mili taristic and nationalistic agitations, or who. like Dr. Gvstav Stresemann i National-Liberal member of the Reichstag, have actively advocated the submarine campaign, have been tlatl.v informed tliat, while they can not bo excluded from the party If they desire to join, they will, never theless, be rigorously excluded from any participation in its leadership. "The party's membership is already colossal," said Herr Wolff, "and thou- j sands of accessions are coming In daily. Virtually the whole progres- ) sive party membership, excepting a j few on the extreme right, will Join, and many prominent Democrats who formerly stood far to the left that ■ they were kept out of party councils. I These include men like Hugo j f'reuss, Germany's foremost author- | ity on constitutional law, who Is now j drafting a constitution for submis- J sion to'the national assembly. Pros- j ident I'\ Walter Sehueeking, of Mar burg University; Prof. Gerlach, Dep uty Fischbeck, and Prof. Max Web er,". The left wing of the National-Lib erals is also furnishing recruits, ac cording to Herr Wolff. These men include Prince Schoenach Carolath, Dr. M. J. Junck and Dr. Witting, president of the National Bank of I Berlin. The National-Liberals who opposed ; the reform of the Prussian franchise ' or favored the submarine campaign I or annexationist policies will be ex- j eluded from leadership. Herr Wolff J declared that his party was by far the strongest in the empire, next to j the Socialists. It will favor the so cialization of certain Industries such ' as mines and will demand that great estates be divided up for settlement on returning soldiers. It holds, how- I ever, that private property shall pot i j he ' touched without full compensa- | | lion. TO IIOLI) PLATFORM MEETING AT V. M. C. A.
