In this city the tie-up was vir tually complete. In a few other sec tions partial service was maintain ed thro,ugh the help of employes of departments not involved' in the strike. Exchange managers in sev eral cities announced that some former employes had taken up work at the switchboards. Leaders of the strikers asserted that all the union operators were standing firm for their demand for an increase in wages and the privi lege of collective bargaining. They pointed to the promise of support given by the cable splicers' union and the inside telephone men as evidence of the strength of their position. ' The cable splicers, numbering several hundred, notified the New England telephone management yes terday that they would quit work To day unless their wage schedule, .pre sented some months ago was imme diately acted upon. The inside tele phone men. including electrical workers from all parts of New Eng land ,vote(j last night to strike this noon. They demand "a settlement of all pending grievances of all New England telephone locals, both male and female." Union officials said the action meant the addition of 12.000 electrical workers to the ranks of the strikers. CHEESE STORE SOLD •T B. Welsh has purchased the cheese store conducted by F. A.

Some of these vegetable growths! are understood by man. and some are not. Animals, it would seem, know what to do when they are sick better than men and women. Ob servers have noted that a sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating food and seek out some vegetable growth in the field or yard, which, when found and eaten, often restores appetite and health.

Smart Clothes For Men, and Children ' 34 North Second Street WEDNESDAY EVENING, 1,250 MEN FROM PRESBYTERY IN WAR; 24 KILLED Session in First Church, Steel ton, Closes With Record Attendance NEED MORE CLERGYMEN To Meet Again in Calvary Church, June 2, to Install New Minister With a record-breaking attend ance the Presbytery of Carlisle of the Presbyterian Church closed its spring session last evening. The ses sion convened Monday in the First Presbyterian Church, Steelton. Out of a total of 108 ministers and elders on the roll of the vestry, 45 minis ters and 50 elders were in attendance throughout the entire session. In stead of holding an evening session last night the Presbytery rushed through its final work and adjourn ed at 6 o'clock, to convene in a con tinued session June 2, in Calvary Church. Jolin Luke Gehninn Licensed John Luke Gehman, a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, pre sented a petition to be licensed to preach. After an individual vote he was unanimously elected to receive such license, and was licensed imme diately. He received a call to Cal vary Church in Cameron street. He will begin his work there imme diately. The date of his ordination and installation was at the same time as the continued meeting. Report on Colored Work An interesting report on colored work within the Presbytery ivas given, the latest venture in this work being the Third Church In Carlisle, under the pastorate of the Rev. J. L. Andrews. Aid to the extent of SSOO was asked of the Presbytery and was received. Shortly after an amendment was presented asking the Presbytery to give it larger sup port, to any amount necessary to bring the total support to at least SI,OOO per year. This was unani mously conceded. The Rev. A. N. Haggerty, of the First Church, Car lisle, spoke at length on the good work of the colored pastor in Car- Work among the Italians in tnis city is progressing splendidly ac cording to a report offered. Several hundred Italians have united them selves definitely with the congrega tion. Services are being held in the week days of the homes of members and on Sunday evenings in the Mar ket Square Church. Missions Overpaid $30,000 The committee on Presbyterial and home missions read a letter from the general board of missions stating that last year's apportion ments for general missions had been overpaid to the extent of $30,000, a pleasing record in view of the year being one of war and extra expense generally. The committee on Presbyterial supplies reported having arranged for supplies for the various vacan cies within the Presbytery. A short age of 34 clergymen was reported. The committee made two recommen dations. It recommended, first, that the church at Center be in structed to call a pastor, this church having been without a pastor for the past two years. The recommenda tion was adopted. The second rec ommendation will be acted upon in the fall. It was a suggestion that an amendment be made to Rule 34 in reference to supply pastors, so as to make it compulsory for churches without a jfastor to pay supply pas tor at least $lO over and above all expenses. 1,250 in War Service incomplete reports showed that more than 1,250 young men from the Presbytery had served in the great war. Of these twenty-four made the supreme sacrifice. From among the clergy of the Presbytery, six saw service as chaplains or war workers. The Rev. Dr. Ramsey, formerly of the church at Newport, but now residing in Dauphin, made a plea in behalf of the clergy who left their ANOTHER WORLD WAR FOR 1926 IS SEEN BY SEER By Associated Press. liOiidon, April 16. —There will be another world war, beginning in June, 1926, according to a writer in the British Journal of- Astrology. This prophet, who signs li in use If "Sepharial," asks for a serious spar ing, inasmuch as lie claims to have published a year in advance in each case the exact date of the war of 1914 and of the cessation of hos tilities. "The first phase of the next war," he writes, "will begin with Turkey, whose perfidy will lead to its final overthrow in 1921-22. At this time pulpits for war work. He made the statement that of all the men who left their pulpits to enter military service not one found his pulpit awaiting _ him on his return. He characterized it as unjust and un fair. Commissioners to General Assembly Nominations were made for com missioners to the general assembly to be held in St. Loula May 15. The following ministers were nominated: Dr. L. S. Mudge, Harrisburg; H. Everett Hallman, Harrisburg: J. Marshall Rutherford, Waynesboro: Robert H. Taylor, Hershey; J. B. Crawford, of near Carlisle; G. M. Schaefter, Carlisle. The Rev. Messrs. Mudge, Hallman and Rutherford were elected on first ballot. The fol lowing elders were nominated as commissioners: Prank Weaver, D. A. Flora, T. A. Caruthere, John De- Gray, B. R. Thompson and Scott Cunningham. Messrs. Weaver, Flora and Caruthers were elected on first ballot. The defeated candidates in both cases were then nominated and elected as alternates. An interesting letter was read fram Chaplain Rentz, formerly as sistant at the Market Square Church. In his letter he described life at Paris Island, his embarkation and reception in France. Rentz is now in France. Nominations were made for two ministers and one elder to serve on executive committees. The follow ing were nominated and elected without opposition: The Rev. George Conroe, Prof. Miller, of Wilson Col lege, and Elder Lutz, of the West minster Churcn, Harrisburg. The committee on vacancies re ported the Dillsburg Church hav ing called to its pulpit the Rev, John Spearbnck, of Somerville, N. J. The Great Conewago Church, Hunters town, called the Rev. William L. Smith. The Rev. C. B. Segelken, chair man of the church erection com mittee. reported funds on hand to the extent of about $2,000. No im mediate work is in contemplation, at least not for the next year. The committee recommended stronger means of raising funds for the work'. It also recommended a larger and a more permanent committee. Report From Women Just before the closing of the session a report was brought in from the Women's and Young Peo ple's Societies. The report showed that in the presbytery there are forty-three Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Societies, with a total- membership of 1,550 women. There are twenty-six Christian En deavor Societies, with a membership of 997, and five Junior Societies with a membership of ninety-three. These together with miscellaneous socie ties, bring a total number of socie ties to 137, and the total member ship to 3,887. The committee on religious educa tion reported fifty-eight active Sun day schools within the presbytery, with a total enrollment of 8,741 members. Of these members 2,222 are also members of the church. One hundred and eighty-five Sunday I school members wer received as members of the church within the last year. The committee on inter-c.hurch federation reported at some length on the advance of work done in co operation with denominations. An interesting account was given of the work at McConnellsburg, where a Presbyterian and a Reformed con gregation have joined forces. One pastor has charge of the entire work, but the congregations are dis tinct. Sunday schools have been combined, with each denomination continuing its own lessons. In or der to avoid clashes on the subject of hymns, both the Presbyterian and Reformed Hymnal have been re jected and a new selection of Gospel Hymns substituted. The work ' was reported as progressing splendidly. The same committee also reported an important meeting having been held in the Episcopal Cathedral in South Bethlehem, with Bishop Ethelbert Talbot in attendance. The meeting was in the interest of I closer unity among the churches and definite work was accomplished. To Meet in Millcrstown The Rev. Beverly M. Ward, of the Capital Street Church, was elected moderator for the next session. His election was unanimous. An invitation was received from the Millerstown Church for the fall meeting of the presbytery and was accepted. The fall meeting will be held late in September.

But, according to my calculations, the great crisis will not be reached until June, 1926. "In this great war, which may be regarded as Prussia's counter to the war of 1914-18, the malevolent forces take their rise in Vienna and Berlin, ascend to Petrograd, pene trate through the whole of Russia and descend the Black Sea and Turkey in Asia, on to EJyria and Palestine. Another Allied victory is pre dicted by "Sepharial." TEUTONS FIRST TO KNOW PEACE TERMS [Continued from First Page.] has been driven westward a consid erable distance.

Paris, April 16. —The Council of Four yesterday discussed questions relative to Scbleswig-Holstein, Heligoland and the Adriatic. While the council was in session the for eign ministers met and considered claims which .have been made by Germany to holdings in islands in the Antarctic ocean. Ministers Discuss Treaty The foreign ministers also took up the draft of articles for the peace treaty providing for the recog nition by Germany of the British position in Egypt and the passing over of the Sultan's right under Suez canal convention; the accept ance by Germany of allied prize court decisions and likewise an ar ticle dealing with the future status of Morocco.

(Havas) —Rep- resentatives of twelve cities of Southern "Italy held a meeting here yesterday at which emphatic sup port of Italy's territorial claims be fore the Peace Conference was ex pressed. The congress sent a tele graph message to Premier Orlando announcing that the members of the gathering were unanimously deter mined to fight for the granting of Italy's territorial demands. Ravnrlan News Lacking Direct news from Bavaria is still lacking in peace conference circles. The overnight developments report ed in the press, however, caused less confidence to be felt than previously that the Scheidemann government would be able to control the situa tion. An American mission, comprising Messrs. Ellis, Gresel, Litligow and Osborne, with a force of clerks, will leave to-night for Berlin for the purpose of keeping the American peace delegation informed of events.

He could not con ceive of a worse crime, he declared, at a time when nothing could save the world but keeping the nations together. "It is not true that the United States and Eu rope have been at vari ance," Mr. Lloyd George declared, adding that no one could have treated more sympathetically the peculiar problems ond special susceptibilities of Europe than President Wilson. London, April 16.—Replying in the House of Commons to day to previous criticisms of his activities at the Peace Confer ence in Paris, Premier Lloyd George said the situation was "Still full of perils for all coun tries." He pleaded that "those who were trying to do their best be let alone." Gravest Conference in "History No conference in history, said the premier, had been faced with prob lems of such variety, complexity, magnitude and gravity. The congress of Vienna, which was the nearest approach to it, took eleven months for its work, but that congress, Lloyd Geerge pointed out, sank into in significance. as compared with what had been said by this conference. Time Not Wasted The time rfpent by the Peace Cen ferende in framing the League of Nations plan saved time instead of wasting it, Lloyd George declared, as the league would provide a means of adjustment of possible errors. "I would rather leave Russia Bol sheviki until they sec their way out of it than see Great Britain landed In bankruptcy," was one of tho pre mier's declarations. "It is not true that the United States and Europe liavc been at vari ance," the premier declared.

Bolshevism on Wane In his reference to the Russian question the premier said reliable information showed that while the Bolsheviki force was apparently growing, Bolshevism itself was grad ually waning—breaking down before the relentless force of economic facts. Lloyd George said that it was his earnest conviction that military in. tcrvciitioii in Russia would be the greatest act of stupidity. To Stay Out of Russia Much as the Brftish government deplores conditions in Russia, the Premier continued, it is not its duty to commit England to a gigantic en terprise in order to improve condi tions in Russia. He added: "Russia is a country very easy to invade and very difficult to get out of." There was no question, he con tinued, of recognition of Russia. It had never been proposed and never been discussed. After referring to the world-wide] extent of the war, the Premier said i that new states had sprung into ex- j istence, some of them independent,' some semi-independent and some that might be protectorates, and, although their boundaries might not be defined, some indication of them must be given. In his reference to the League of Nations deliberations Mr. Lloyd ( George said the conference might> have taken more time but for the j fact that it was setting up a machin- ] ery capable of readjusting and cor- j rectlng possible mistakes. "And that is why the League of 1 Nations, instead of wasting time, i savfcd time," he added. Worked Under Difficulties The conference had to shorten its labors, continued the Premier, be cause, while it was trying to build, in many lands the foundation of so- | ciety was tumbling into the dust, j No body of men worked harder or in \ better harmony than the Peace Con- j ference, he asserted, and he doubt-1 ed whether any body of men ever I worked under greater difficulties. "Stones were clattering on the' roof and wild men were screaming; through the keyhole while enormous i issues depended upon them which i required calm deliberation," the j Premier said. He asked for the op- I portunity for such deliberation for I the rest of the journey, which was! not at an end. Eiw-ly in his address the Premier] saidTiis first impulse, when he re-] turned to England [rom France, was! to await the much-advertised criti- | cisms of him, but inquiries h^d ! shown that these were not forth-! coming. The reason assigned was, \ he was told, that he must not ex- j pect criticism until the House was informed what the peace delegates were doing. The Premier said he should not have thought that, in such quarters,- facts would be regarded as the slightest basis for criticism, but he was fully aware there was a great deal of impatience in the world, and he proposed to address himself to the real, sincere, honest impatience which was felt in all lands. Pays Tribute to Labor Leader The Premier paid tribute to George Nicoll Barnes, the Labor leader, and those associated with him in the plan for international aVrangements for labor. Questions have cropped up at the Peace Conference which imperiled the peace of Europe, but the Prem ier believed that the conference had surmounted those difficulties. No Proposals From Russia In answer to a question from John R. Clynes, a Labor leader, whether approaches for peace had come from the Russian government, the Premier saiijl: "We h&ve had no approaches of any sort or kind. None have been put before the con ference."

DISPOSAL PLANT PLANS IN FAVOR [Continued from First Page.] no provision was made to have one constructed because of the cost. After the business session of coun cil yesterday the commissioners dis cussed the recommendation to erect the plant as made by Colonel Ed ward Martin, at a public meeting on Monday evening in the hall of the House of Representatives. Big Ibroblem Here The sewage disposal question in Harrisburg presents a different problem to engineers than in the majority of cities, because of the single system in use. In many mu nicipalities storm water and san itary sewers are arranged in sep arate systems, but in Harrisburg the joint sewerage line is used so that during heavy rains the amount of sewage passing through the pipes in creases greatly. Despite the cost, Dr. Hasslcr declared that preparations for this big step forward in city health and sanitary improvement should not be delayed if any possible way can be found to complete the work. Need Thirty-inch Main Another important improvement which should be made as soon as possible, pr. Hassler said, is the A Monument to a Child is executed here with tender care.

At present there is one line between Uiese points, being used constantly as a force main in pumping water to the big reservoir. From Sixth and North to the reservoir there are two thirty-inch lines, one a continuation of the force main and the other a return distribution line. "By laying this new line at a cost of about SBO,OOO or $-10,000 the city will, bo protected against any serious water shortage. At preeent a break in the line from the pumping sta tion might cause much trouble be cause for a time at least the only supply for the city would be given the central district through a di rect sixteen-inch line running south in Front street." Knglnccrs TJrgo Action City Commissioners agree with Dr. ilassler in the urgent need for this additional thirty-inch line in North street, and it is likely that they will act in the near future to provide it. Enginers who made recent surveys of the water supply system here pointed to this line as a necessity and told the officials no delay should prevent its early con struction. • City Commissioners have been considering the proposition of ex. tending the authority of the city health bureau to cope with the health and sanitary conditions of many city properties. It is planned to give the bureau authority to compel property owners to better conditions where they have been found to exist. It is understood that City Solicitor Fox will be asked to give an opinion as to the power of council to grant this authority. Will Stop Spitting The Monday evening meeting is having other results which will pro vide better sanitary results. Mayor Keister said that he would issue instructions at once to every mem ber of the city police force to strict ly enforce * the anti-spitting ordi nance. He severely criticised, too, the dumping: of raw sewage into the river and took opportunity to add that the "dope" traffic in this city is on the decline, following the re cent arrests of some of the ring leaders in the sale of narcotics here. wM WHEN' FLOWERS F MwSM Are Most Appropriate of All. m, iffl suggests flowers for jpp propriate or expressive of youiy y tractive ideas B for Easter.

The delicate stomach 'lining is irri tated. digestion Is delayed and food sours. causing the .disagreeable symptoms which every stomach suf ferer knows so well. Artificial digestants are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a tea spoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acjd and there is no sourness, gas or pain.
