LAST OF OAKLEY MURAL PAINTINGS FOR SENATE Famous Woman Artist Completes Art Works For State Senate Chamber; Peace and Unity Shown in Panels Depicting Early Days of the • Commonwealth By MISS VIOLET OAKLEY (Copyright by Violet Oakley, 1918). The two paintings just completed aie to be placed on the wall of the Senate chamber qf the State Capitol of Pennsylvania under the visitors' gallery to the right and left of the central entrance. They will thus face the main wall of the chamber and the five large panels which were unveiled two years ago. Although the last to be finished, in point of historic order, these Awo panels form the beginning and foundation of the entire series, the theme of which is "The Creation and Preservation' of the Union," the title of the last great panel, stretching high over the others in its length of forty-five feet, being "Supreme Manifestation of Knlight enment in International Unity." The new paintings symbolize the two Commandments upon which "hang all the Law and the Prophets"— "Thou shalt love the {.ord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind and with all thy strength," and the second is like unto it, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The first panel represents the Force of Dominating Faith in Principle and the second the Force of Dominating Love of -the Brethren. Two legendary incidents in the surly life of the Quakers were chosen is symbols of these invisible "Forces" which caused the foundations of the Jommonwealth to be so firmly laid. Upon such foundations was the na tion builded and preserved, "for it was founded upon a Rock," and upon these foundations is now being con structed that union of the nations 'for which there hath already been such long desire." The title of the first panel is "The Little Sanctuary in the Wilderneps" ind illustrates the legend of the atchstring. The inscriptions are as 'ollows: Upon the upper border the words, 'Here Beginneth the Legend of J eace,". and beneath— "Although I have cast them far off imong the heathen and although I lave scattered them among the coun ries, yet will I be to them as a Lit he Sanctuary in the countries where hey shall come." "This is the Law f the House—the whole limit thereof hall be most holy; behold this is the aw of the House," "I cooked and. iehold, the glory of the Lord filled he House." The Predella beneath illuminates he source of inspiration and the se ret of Spiritual Force, set Iree by ominating Faith in the Unseen, with mall panels of the Passion of Christ. Lround the Crucifixion in the center re words from William Penn: "This now assurtdly that none ever trust d in the Lord and were confounded." The title of the second panel is The Slave Ship Ransomed," and 11- js'trates the legend of the Quaker ho, hearing of a certain shipload of laves 'about to be landed and sold, ought the entire load and sent them orth to Nova Scotia to be set free. The inscription beneath reads: "If tore be a Messenger, one among a tousand, then He is gracious unto im and saith: 'I have found a Rat>- >m."

"Return unto Me." , In the central panel of the Pre della Christ liberates the imprisoned from Hell, and around this are the words: "He hath broken the Gates of' Brass and burst the Bars of Iron asunder." The four other small pan ols of the Predella Illuminate Inscrip tions from the Journal of John Wool man, that inspired Quaker protestor against all human slavery, with the spiritual temperament and vision of some medieval saint. The legend of the Latchstrlng la quaintly related in a collection of "Incidents illustrating the doctrines and history of the Society of Friends," published by Joseph Wal ton; "One of those solitary habita tions on a'frontler settlement was In the possession of a Friend and his family, where thejf had lived in such secure simplicity that they used neither bar nor bolt to their door, being in no apprehension of danger and haviflg no other- means of secur ing their dwelling from intruders than by drawing in the leather thong by which the wooden latch inside was lifted from without. Although the Indians had been burning and ravaging the surround ing country without mercy, the Friends had put no trust in t "the arm of flesh." but had felt themselves safe In the keeping of the Omnipo tent Spirit, believing rather that "man often ran in his own strength to his own injury." Alarmed, how ever, length by the fears of others and by the dreadful rumors that sur rounded them, on one particular even ing before retiring they drew in the latchstrlng. But in the dead of night-the Friend, who had not been able to sleep, found that his wife also could not rest,' so uneasy was she in her soul. Upon this he confessed that he believed "that it woiiid be safest for him to put out the string of the latch as usual." When this was done, com mending themselves to the keeping of Divine Love, they lay down again in peace. A few moments later the dismal sound of the warwhoop echoed through the forest and soon after ward they counted the footsteps of seven men pass the window of their cabin, the latch was lifted dcor flung open. But there was a halt, a colloquy in the Indian lan guage, unintelligible to the Friends, and the door again closed, the Indians retiring without having actually crossed the threshold. Some years after when peace was re stored at the conference with the Indians this Friend related the above incident, in reply to which one of the Indians observed that he himself had been one of that marauding party, but by the simple circumstance of putting out the latchstrlng, which proved confidence rather than fear, their lives "and property had been preserved, for, on -finding the door to have been unbarred, it was said: "These people shall live. They will do us no harm, for they put their trust in the Great Spirit." Congratulations Galore For Dr. Swallow on the Prohibition Victory Dr. S. C. Swallow, at his apart ments,.

Germans Must Be Held on Rhine, Marshal Tells Newspaper Men "Devil's Own Punch" Had the Yanks, He Declares] Knockout Blow Was Ready as the White Flag Flew By Associated Press Treves, Wednesday, Jun. 16.—(De layed)—It is the conviction of Mar shal Foch that the Rhine must be made tho barrier between Germany and France. He expressed this clear ly to-day to American newspaper correspondents. The marshal is hero in connection with the meeting con cerning the extension of the Ger man urmistlce. Marshal Foch Bald peace must, be commensurate with the prlco of victory. Germany now was benten, ho added, but with her resources, especially in men, recuperation in a comparatively short time was quite possible. It now wus tho duty of the Allies to prevent further aggressions. Marshal Foch praised work of the American troops and said General Peishing had asked that the American forces be concentrated for an Attack on one sector The allied generalissimo admitted that the Ar gonne-Mcuse front where the Amer icans began their offeimto on Sop tejnbe- £6 was a "seator hard to tackle." Tile marshal said he told General I'ershing: "Devil's Own Punch" 'Your men have tho devil's own punch. They will get away with all that. Go ic it." The American attack succeeded, the marshal continued, 'and here we ar on ihc Rhine." The armistice wus not concluded too soon and the Allies got all they asked for from Germany without continuing the fighting. The Allies, the marshal said, were prepared for another' offensive stroke which would have forced the Germans to give lip. This was to have been in Lorraine on November 14 with six American and twenty French divisions. "This is for me a happy oppor tunity," Marshal Foch began, "to tell you all the good things I think 6t tho American army and of the part it played on our side. Your soldiers were superb. There is no other word. When they appeared our armies were, as you know, fatigued by three years of relentless struggle and the mantle of war laid heavily upon them. The youth of the United States brought a renewal of the hope that hastened victory. Not only was this moral fact of the highest importance, but you also brought enormous material aid and the wealth which you placed at our disposal contributed to the final suc cess. Nobody among us will ever forget what America did." Marshal Foch was asked by the MILD WINTER BIG BOOST FOR AUTOS Thousands of Cars Beyond the •Usual Number Are Regis tered This Year automobiles reg istered at this time for 1919. Under ordinary circumstances the registra tion the first month is a rather small proportion of the total number of 'ears. This year, however, literally thousands of cars have been regis tered beyond the number licensed at this time in the last three Januarys. A big increase In the number of trucks licensed has also been noted, some of the vehicles being on largo size and weight. From what is stated by applicants for the licenses use df trucks for hauling between cities Is Increasing und new ones are being put into service. Revenue from automobile licenses is far and away above all previous records at this time of the year. The State Highway Department's auto mobile division has had forces at work day and night to get out licenses. Giving Men Credit—Major W. G. Murdock, the state draft executive, has suggested to local boards that in compiling their histories of the operation of the draft in their dis tricts that they include not only names of the drafted men, but those killed or wounded in France or who are cited for bravery. It is also suggested that the histories in clude the personnel of the boards and their auxiliaries and the num ber of men registered at different registrations and the camps to which drafted men were sent, together with contemporary newspaper ac counts. Hoard to Meet—Members of the State Armory Board will meet in Harrisburg next week to prepare the legislative plans for that branch of the military establishment and it is probable that an appropriation for continuing projects under way and for now buildings will be asked. The board will hear reports on the armory buildings throughout tho state" as they have been maintained since the National Guardsmen en tered United States service and are to be ready to house the additional units of the Reserve Militia which It is expected will be authorized. Big Bee Men Coming—Officers in charge of agriculture for the feder al government and for New Jersey and other states are to speak here the latter part of next wgek when the State Bee Keepers' Association will meet. There has been a big expansion of bee keeping In Penn sylvania the last two years and the honey output has been stimulated in every possible way because of the sugar situation during the war. Dr. H .A. Surface and C. N. Greene will make reports on bee keeping In Pennsylvania. * % To Go For Blackbirds—Legisla tion providing for a change In the blackbird season so that they may be shot in August when they are apt to be destructive in oats field* and other parts of farms and In gardens ts being prepared. The game code provided for a season from Septem ber 1 to November 30, but opinions gathered by state game officers indi cate a general desire for the season to be advanced , 7 correspondent: \ •'But was not the armistice COIMI eluded too soon?" "It was not possiblp to do other* wise," answered the marshal, "be cause tho Germans gave up every* thing that wo asked for at They satisfied all of our It was difficult to ask more. ."Doubtless any general would have preferred to have continued the struggle und to have battle when th battle which offered itself was mo promising, but a father of a family could not but help think of tho blood which would be shed. Jk. vic tory, however easy costs the lives of men. Wo held victory in our grasp without uny further sacrifice. We took it as it came. "And now we must make a peaco which will correspond with tho mag nitude of our victory. We nuist have a peace as absolute-as was our success and which will guard U® against ull future aggresslofts, "France has a right to effective measures of protection - after the formidable efforts she put forth to save civllizution. The natural fron tier which will protect civilization is the ithine. Urges Holding Rhine "It is on the Rhile that we must hold the Germans. It is by using the iUitno that we ipnet make it iny possible for them to recommence tho coup of 1914. The Rhine is the com mon barrier of all the Allies, pre cisely of all those who united to save civilization. The Rhine is tho guarantee of peace for aH the na tions who have shed their blood in tho cause of liberty. Then let us watch the Rhine. "We have no idea of attacking Germany or of recommencing the war. Democracies such as ours nev er attack. They ask but to live in peace and to grow in peace, but who can say that Germany—where dem ocratic ideas are so recent and per haps very superficial—will not quickly recover from its defeat. , "England has the channel to cross. America is far away. France must always bo in a position to safe guard the general interests of man kind. Those interests are at stake on the Rhine, it is there that we must prepare to guard against the painful surprises of the future. "The armistice is signed, but peace is not yet concluded. So long as the status of Europe has not been settled let us watch, let us watch to gether, so that we lose not the fruits of uor common victory. Let us re main united us we were in battle."
