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."

One Billion Loss in
Sale of Supplies Is
Charged to Baker
Washington, Oct. 13.—Sale of su
burban property of the American ex
peditionary force at a loss to the
i government of more than $1,000,000,-
' 000, under the direct orders of See
'retary Baker, is shown in the records
! brought from abroad by the House
subcommittee investigating War De
partment expenditures, or which Roy
al O. 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.

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.
