REPUBLICANS IN VAST MAJORITY There was a big rush of voters to get registered Saturday, it being the last day of grace for those desiring to cast their ballots at the November election. District registry clerks had their hands full during the open hours of the day. The registration was par ticularly heavy at night, nearly two thirds of the day's registration being recorded at that time. Incomplete returns from Saturday's registration show an overwhelming number of Republican voters registered.

Although they were in the vast majority at the previous two sessions, the recent get together meeting at county headquarters showing good results. On account of no mail being delivered yes terday, the registrars of voters were unable to obtain exact figures of. the day's session. Early morning telephone reports, however, showed that Republl cans were registering at a ratio of two to one of the Democrats. One district in Green Ridge, however, showed i registration of 120 Republicans a com pared with twenty Democrats and two Washington party voters.

Registration was heavy in the Dem ocratic districts, but not sufficiently big to wipe away the yast outpouring of Republicans in other wards. At previous sessions Republicans have been away ahead of all other parties, and yesterday's session clinched the lead by a good margin. U.

The con vention sermon, in the forenoon was delivered by Rev. M. 'Marie Varney, of Paw Paw, who spoke on "Peace."

He had been missing from the farm since early morning. The man, it seems, walked to Clark's Green, a distance of about seven miles.

This evening about 6 o'clock he entered the premises of Mrs. Mary Batlin. Becoming frightened she telephoned for Constable William Murphy. Before he arrived, however, the man had depart SAYS WAR MUST BE FOUGHT OUT TO ITS FINISH Commending" "the proclamtaion of President Wilson, Rev. W.

B. Beach, delivered a sermon on "The Victories of Peace" at the Church of the Good Shepherd yesterday morning. His text was: "All the armor of the armed man in the tumult, and the garments rolled in blood shall be for burning, for fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given His name shall be called Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9: 5 6.

The 'procuration of our president is a most remarkable document, more re markable than most of our citizens per haps imagine. It is the first time in his tory, I believe that the head of a great neutral nation has called upon his peo pie to publicly pray for the peace of countries engaged in a war with which it is not directly concerned. It is trans parently unselfish in its motive and in its expression. This inspiring appeal for peace only sounds chimerical to those who do not appreciate the funda mental principles upon which our re public is founded. The peace for which we pray today is something more significant than the mere cessation of hostilities, which, at this time, would not promote the cause of national justice' and righteousness, but, on the contrary, would hinder it, by instigating mightier preparations for bloodier warfare.

This war must be fought out to an absolute finish, not that the defeated nations are annihilated and lose their Identity or their promi nence among Christian peoples, for they all have their peculiar mission in the world, and both God and the world needs them all, but certainly until they have been sufficiently chastened that "war" will be to their princes and professors, as well as to their people, the most accursed thing in the new comity of nations. First, we pray for the victory of that most precious principle of American democracy expressed and immortalized by Lincoln, that "government is of the people, for the people and by the people," and we pray this day that no peace may come to that nation behind whose impregnable fortresses and invincible armies there lies the en trenched power which seeks to destroy such government Second, we pray for the victory of that principle of peace which makes the foundation of national government not in its military power and prestige, but in the prosperity of the people. It is never going to pay a nation in the end to spend more on militarism than on the education of its children. Third, we pray for the victory of that principle of peace which reveals to eyes blinded with the glamour of war fare that war is not ot God or of the devil, but of the devilish hearts of un godly men. God has no part in the shed ding of innocent blood, in the making of widows and orphans, and it is the Gaskill family in Lorraine park.

He walked into a room where the family was sitting at the evening meal and dropping down on his knees extended his arms as though begging for something to eat. They also telephoned for the constable. Then the constable, Burgess Ned Nichols, Thomas Shilling and about a dozen others formed a posse and made a systematic search of the town for the demented man. They found him two hours later sitting under a tree. He was locked up in the borough jail and the farm officials notified of his SUPREME POWER ONLY CAN END EUROPEAN WAR "Serving the Cause of Healing Peace was the subject or Rev.

Robert T. Kreitler's sermon at St. Luke's churchf yesterday morning at the Peace Sunday services suggested in President Woodrow Wilson's proclamation. There was a large attendance of members of the parlsiv who commented favorably on Dr. Kreitler's talk.

He said among other things: "This is a day. more of the heart than of the head. A day of interces sion is always such, iorae outstanding facts face us this morning. We are here for a closely defined purpose. suggested and requested by the chief ecutive of the nation.

It is no time for the utterances of cheap and easy platitudes upon, the dreadfulness ot war's cruelty and waste on the one hand, of the brotherhood of man, which has been violated on the other. It is no occasion for special pleading of calling for vengance (7TT those who know not what they do. It is a day of humility. 'Aside from the fact that the President's proclamatio nwill always remain a classic among state papers ior its wisdom; itshumanlty and its rever ance it contains an appeal, unique as well as profoundly moving. In our own national history, three if not four wars project themselves athwart the glance, which is now fortunately ours.

War Gave Action Liberty. "One of these wars irave the nation its liberty, and what was gained then is now woven into the very web and woof of our daily existence as people. The other two, still in the memories ol living men, brought a consolidation of our own unity in '65 and won a large liberty for others in the battles of tian Juan Hill and Manilla bay. "in all three, men fought, not because they lusted for blood, 'but be cause they were bidden to strike for the general welfare of mumanity and the nation's need. If at other critical times we have 'been spared actual conflict and the loss of the nation's defenders by forebearance of "watchful waiting" of what you will there is nevertheless a firm belief that the heritage of our forefathers would be kept unimpaired and our liberties sustained and extended, no matter what the call of duty Demanded.

"With all Uod fearing persons we unite our petitions to Almighty God, praying that the counsels of men shall be overruled; the things that they cannot lorm or alter; set straight; that the nations in the throes of conflict be watched in Divine conipassion. "The chief nations of Europe have been spending nearly one half of all their revenues, arming themselves against the other, as if in the most depraved savage state; and when actual conflict came, rushed' forth, relieved from all the apparently acknowledged restraints of a eemi Chris tianlzed civilization, bent on such wholesale destruction, murder as to fill us ail with a loathing and a pity of which I rather suspect we did not know we were capaible. And we have come to see another thing. 1 Ciun Never Conuneaaurate. "The causes of war are never really commensurate, never adequate never equal to the cost.

Of course given national jealousy and national hatred any trifle is enough to create difficulties and prevent peaceful adjustment. The real matters of peace are quickly lost to sight. Therefore the primary questions will be one of disposition. "No difference too trifling to create war; none too serious for adjustment. "There is something thrilling If you let your immaglnatlon go this morning; A neutral nation in humble supplication seeKing help from the highest source of which it knows; trying to serve the cause of a lasting, 'healing peace; lifting Its eyes to the hills, from whence It believes commeth help.

A recognition of two facts that men cannot solve the problems which the world is facing and that only in Gnd revelation of what the future holds and must be roi us all. i FIREMEN'S CONVEJmO.V. HARRISBURG. Oct. 4.
