FEAR BREAK IN CHURCH UNITY AT CONVENTION Tight Seems Apparent Among Episcopalians Over Prayer Book Detroit, Mich., Oct. 13. Breach *>f unity, possibly amounting to im -medlate schism. In the body of Pro ( testant Episcopal Church In Amer ica, may result if further attempt to revise the prayer book Is made In the present triennial general con vention, according to opinion ex pressed by many leading churchmen attending. There is noted a distinct lining up of delegates in the House "frf Deputies for and against revision, (with the controversy centering about 'the attitude of the delegations from (the three Virginia dioceses. Both clerical and lay delegates (from Virginia have made plain their j determination to "fight to the last 1 ditch" against further revision of , ithe devotional service and, it is said, their stand Is having strong influ ence on other southern delegations. Springs Sensation A sensation was developed in the [house of bishops by Bishop Joseph B. Cheshire, of North Carolina, who introduced a resolution to strike out "The Star Spangled Banner? and "America" from the church hymnal. ! More than 100 bishops and several j •hundred churchmen and church j women who crowded the galleries ! listened with amazement to the pro- | posal. So that no one might(|lloubt his | loyalty, B'shop Cheshire .- id he had a son who "spilt hi 3 blood" on the battlefields of France, and added i that his objection to the national i anthem and' "America" in the i hymnal was due to the fact that they > encouraged people to worship stan dards, after the manner of the old Roman empire. "The essence of a hymn is its i worship of God," he said. "I object | to the inclusion' in the church ! hymnal of these two hymns, which ; encourage worship of a flag." When Bishop Cheshire ceased . speaking Bishop James Henry Dar- ; llngton, of Harrisburg, expr seed his j emphatic opposition to the "resolu tion. "I cannot conceive how any one j •can object to the singing of 'The j Star Spangled Banner' and "Amer- | ica' at any time or in nny place," 1 he said, when the resolution was placed on the calendar. After the session several bishops said that Bishop Cheshire's resolu- ' tion was certain to be defeated, i They characterized his objections to j the anthems as those of a "purist," I also of one who was somewhat I "finicky."

Johnson is chairman. The reeord of the policy laid down | by Secretary Baker for the American [ Expeditionary Forces is found in the official minutes of a meeting of the Americnn Liquidation Commission in Paris, on April 16. 1919, which Mr. Baker attended. The declaration of the Baker policy, which was offered ; by the liquidation commission as its 'excuse for the wholesale sacrifice of • American goods and the government's (interests, reads in part as follows: l "The Secretary of War expressed j the opinion that no property or ma iterial noffneeded by the army for con sumption in ths United States should ,be returned to the United States; and | that in no .event should such com modities as clothing, food supplies land engineering equipment be return ed, but that all such commodities, as the same became surplus, should be i disposed of by the commission in (Europe to the best advantage." j Pursuant to Mr. Baker's orders, I surplus commodities in France which ihad cost the government $1,426,000.- 000 v.-ere sold to the French govern iment for the round sum of $100,000,- fOO, or considerably less than one- I third their cost price. "Closed Shop" Is Not American, He Says Washington, Oct. 13. That the "closed shop" is un-American, is the assertion of the Republican Public ity Association in the following statement, given out by the presi dent of that organization, Jonathan Bourne, Jr.: "The crux of the demands of the labor group as presented to the labor-capital conference may be summarized as follows: "The right of wage-earners to bargain collec tively, through unions, represented by agents of their own choosing.' It is a one-sided proposition. It speaks of the 'right' of wage-earners to bargain in a certain way, but as sumes that there shall be no right to bargain in any other way. What the unions desire is not the right, but the power, to bargain collec tively, and, under form of bar gaining collectively, to dictate terms to employers. There object is not bargaining, but dictation.

Harrisburg Navy to Plan For Future at First Annual Banquet Although the Penn-Harrls In Its young life has already seen many strange banquet stunts, It Is doubt ful If It has yet had anything that will any way near approach the Kl pona banquet to be held Thursday evening. For Instance, Admiral J. 'William Bowman, who will be toastmaster, will conduct the affair from the deck of the flagship Klpona. the samp flagship from the "deck of which he presided over the big Labor Day festival on the river. A big force of decorators from the local depart ment stores are now working like beavers to decorate the big ballroom and one of their tasks is to get the big flagship into the room. Just how they will solve this problem Is hard to say, perhaps John Newt6n and his Sons of Rest, who evolved the plan for getting that fa mous steam shovel out of the Penn- Harrls cellar, will be called upon to get the fifty-foot boat to the third floor ballroom. Anyway the decora tors have promised that the ship will be there, so you can count upon seeing Admiral Bowman on deck in real naval style. Ira C. Kindler and the other hustling members of the banquet committee report that the demand for tickets has far surpassed their estimates and those who desire to attend should get In touch with the committee at once. Tickets may be obtained at the Chamber of Com merce offices or from the presidents of the Rotary or Kikanis Clubs. All three organizations have endorsed the Navy's plans and Thursday's af fair will be a real community event. The object is to awaken interest in plans to develop Harrlsburg's wonderful natural advantages for recreation on the Susquehanna and the proposed loan tor $40,000 for river bathing beaches and bath houses wlll'be given a big boost. This loan will be submitted to the voters at the November election and Is sure to pass. While the committee desires to get Into personal touch with every canoeist in the city, the time is far too short, so canoeists are urged to attend and make their reservations through Mr. Kindler promptly. Every canoeist should he a strong Navy booster and should show his interest by being on hand Thurs day. Cheap Oil to Be Used For House Heat A device that will revolutionize the heating of buildings, do away with coal shoveling and ash hand ling, and provide additional safe guard from flres, has been patented by William M. Hoffman. By its operation fuel oil is burned without mechanic&l aids, and out of a very small amount of oil, through per fect combustion, great heat is se cured. The burner is called the three element burner, because in its oper ation it blends in its flame carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It is by the blending of these three elements that the carbon of the heavy, non-ex plosive oil used is fully burned up, and the resultant heat secured. In appearance the burner is a little higher than a desk telephone and is made up of four castiron portions, about eight Inches in diam eter. It is small enough to go ua a common hot air or hot water furnace. The oil flows into a fuel pan, and being lighted, generates in a very simple manner steam which furnishes forced draught for the flame. A mass of very hot flam ing gas—a miniature gas well— comes out of the top of the burner and is radiated out into the osm bustlon chamber of the stove or furnace. One valve regulates the amount of heat furnished. Some of Harrisburg's leading business men, and some of the resi dent state officials have Invited the inventor to make a demonstration here this week. Officials of the Chamber of Commerce and Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs will be among those invited to inspect the inven tion. State High in Number of American Legion Posts Pennsylvania has now 595 posts of the American legion, the third largest number of any State, accord ing to reports recently sent out from the national headquarters in New York. The membership of total number of posts is approximately 750,000 soldiers, sailors, marines, yeomanettes and nurses. The figures given above are In clusive of September 30, and do not include the membership In the drive for 1,000,000 membera It Is expected that by November 11, when the national convention of the Le gion opens in Minneapolis, that there will be over 6,000 posts in the United States with the membership goal secured. There are at present 895 posts In this State and many more are ap plying for charters daily. At the time of the State convention on Oc tober 2, 3 and 4, there were only 350 posts. It was at that time that Governor Sproul made his address to the Legion and gave it his un qualified endorsement, pledging every aid that lay in his power. Mark T. Milnor, of Post 27, and Patrick Sweeney, of Post 279, are the local men who will attend the convention. * LETTERS TO THE EDITOR" NO MINISTERIAL STRIKE To the Editor of the Telegraph: Should the minister strike? No. Does he strike? Yes. He strikes for God's altars, for the Home fires, and ever for the country's sanctity, but not for "wages." Yet he is not so deaf that ho does not hear the hum and hustle of an industrial prosperity that suggests the query, "Why don't tha laymen whose wages have increased more and more, pass the prosperity on to the pulpit? Here is a concrete case, not uni versal, but typical. A preacher re ceives 61,400 a year. It's the largest salary in dollars that he ever re ceived. It's the smallest support he ever had. For his dollars now are only half dollars or less of a few years ago. He lives and possibly keeps up a little life insurance now only be cause he saved a little when he re ceived half the salary, and thus sub sidises to tide over his inadequate stipend of these H. C. of L. times. When his calling is twice as ex acting. both as to quantity and qual ity of his work he is expected to be content with half the support Is this fair for the man and in stitution whose pre-eminent func tion is to teach righteousness and Justice? But he will not strike. JOHN H. MORTIMER, Camp Curtln Memorial. t "--tTCTOBEft 13, 1919. Sounds Call For Mobilization to ' Down Anarchists By Asiootated Press Pittsburgh, Oct 18.— The Very Rev? Father Ignatius Smith, of New York, national director of the Holy Name Society, In an address here yesterday before /the annual ses sion of the Diocesan Union, sound ed the mobilization call for the 1,- 6 00,000 members of the organiza tion to combat what he termed an attempt by "anarchists" to over throw the government of the United States and "hoist the red flag In stead." Present day unrest, said Father Smith, can be traced to radi cal foreigners "who we Invited over here to partake of our hospitality. "These anarchists," he continued, **who know neither God nor obedi ence to our laws must be crushed down. We need not be armed with th rifle and the machine gun to crush them down; we will leave that to the armed forces, but we can help to defeat them by our exam ple of our obedience to the law and the government." Urges "Service at Cost" For Street Railways Washington, Oct. 18. —Adoption of the "servlc'-at-cost" plan of fixing street-railway fares by municipali ties, with the valuation based ut>on "cost of replacement," probably will be recommended by the President's Electrio Railway Commission, which is to report within a few weeks its conclusions from the extended hear ings held recently in Washington. It was learned authoritatively that members of the commission look upon the "service-at-cost" plan, fol lowing In most respects tho Cleve land Idea, as the most logical and equitable solution of the street-rail way problem from the standpoint of both the public and the companies. The "zone system" of fixing fares on basis of mileage and municipal ownership is not regarded by the commission as suggesting a satis factory settlement of the problem. It is understqpd als that the com mission will take some action in the matter of Immediate relief for the companies and suggest that higher fares should be granted as a tem porary relief for the companies to meet the acute financial difficulties into which many of them were said to be drifting. The commission is to urge also. It was said, the abso lute necessity for a better under standing between the public and the street railway managers.
