mencement Exercises at
Gettysburg
By Associated Press.
Gettysburg:; June 12. —Governor
Sproul, who spoke before the grad
uates of Gettysburg College at the
eighty-seventh annual commence
ment exercises yesterday, warned
against the dangers of Bolshevism
and pointed out the way to the bat
tles of peace, which he said would
be necessary during the reconstruc
tion. The Governor sc'.d:
"There is abroad in the land to
day a spirit against a republic that
forbids license. We- may imagine it
financed by millions and millions of
dollars looted from the governments
in the east. We must be watchful,
vigilant and militant in our resist
ance to those things which are hos
tile to our republic and threaten our
faith. We must not be a race to
tolerate those things which are ab
horrent to the government which has
been handed down to us after the
years of hardship and toil that have
made us a God-fearing and a God
honoring people."

Japan Develops
Trade With Java
By Associated Press.
Sydney, June 12.—Japan has
made great strides in developing her
trade with Java since the begin
ning of the war and is now ex
tending her commercial advantages
there, says R. Dryver, of Sourabay,
Java, an expert upon Far Eastern
affairs.
"The cutting off of European sup
plies by the war," said Mr. Dryver,
"forced Java to rely upon Japanese
and Australian markets and these
trade routes will not now suffer
from the resumption of European
activities. To my mind, the East
should be independent of the West
in trade. Japanese concentration
in the Pacific puts in strong light
her ambition to secure commercial
mastery in Eastern waters."

Unsightly Poles to Come
Down in Central Part of
the City, Says Mr. Diehl
City Electrician Diehl feels confi
dent that the central part of the city
will be clear of all poles and over
head wires before the close of the
summer. He has been doing his ut
most to carry into effect the provis
ion of the ordinances placing these
wires underground and believes that
there will be a marked improvement
within a few weeks.
It developed to-day that the big
poles which have caused so much
comment on Third street between
AValnut and Market are owned by
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany and asked regarding these to
day. Mr. Diehl said he had been in
conference with the Western Union
officials and that he had been as
sured steps were being taken to
eliminate these unsightly poles with
others along Walnut street without
further delay. It appears thai the
Postal Telegraph company once of
fered to provide boom for the over
head wires of the Western Union in
the conduits of the Postal Company,,
but the proposition was not accepted.
Unless thei remaining poles are
removed in the central business dis
trict during the next few weeks it is
probable that additional city legisla
tion will be enacted placing a time
limit on the life of the remaining
masts.

BAD CASES OF

When Poslam takes hold of viru

process needed. Contrast the ease of
healing with the severity of the trou
