Provinces are demanding a high degree of Inde pendence from the central govern ment and In some of them, such as the Tyrol and upper Austria and Styria, it amounts almost to com plete autonomy. If their demands were eventually granted, about the only thing that would be left to the central government would be for eign relations and the regulation of foreign Import and export traffic and limited taxation. j OFFICERS INSTALLED At the Sunday morning services In Trinity Lutheran Church, Camp Hill, the following officers were duly installed: Elder, M.

While the distribution will not be universal, it will be so general as to bring cheer to scores of little for eigners whose fathers answered the call of the national steel strike and since that time have been out. The gl,fts were a part of the regular weekly distribution food for the strik ers and their families and came from . such funds as the local organizations j were able to gather for that purpose. The national committee decided that it could not go into the field of Christ mas giving and confined Its gifts to the children. * REV. DANIEL. BECKER DIES Rev.
