Schubert, oi ue ii DR. WALKER ASSIGNS THREE CAUSES FOR GREAT CONFLICT Three reasons for the war' now raging in Europe were assigned by Rev. W. M. Walker, pastor of the Im manuel Baptist church.

In a strong sermon last evening. "Social hatred, military spirit and the ambitions of Europe's rulers are the real causes of the great conflict," declared Dr. Walker. "If the Servian difficulty had "been submitted to the people, there would never have been a war." the clergyman asserted. Dr.

Walker's sermon expressed the hope that with the coming of peace the American nation will rise. to the opportunity and help create conditions through its representatives In other lands which shall remove the intoler able burdens crushing the nations of Europe for so long. "The destruction of Louvain. a city nearly as large as Wilkes Barre." said Dr. Walker, "and the driving of the people from their homes, calls for the severest condemnation.

I do not believe that the war will have a speedy termination. The nations have engaged in such a way that only exhaustion of resources will lead them to agree to terms of peace." CLERGYMEN LAMENT SUFFERING ENTAILED BY EUROPEAN WAR Local clergymen treating of the war in their sermons lamented the great loss of life and the hardships and suffering Imposed on the people of the belligerent nations and expressed the hope that with the clearing away of the smoke of tattle, a better feeling would exist between the nations of the world. In a strong sermon, Rev. W. G.

Wat kins, pastor of the Bethany Baptist church, declared tnat the blame for the outbreak of the war lay with Kaiser Wilhelm. of Germany. "The Slaughter rf the Innocent." or "How a Wise Woman Stopped the War." was the subject of Dr. Watkins' sermon. "I would to God that aome wise woman or wise man came to speak the compelling word to the crowned heads of Europe so that the world might breathe easier and say as this Thus they ended the he said at the outset of hla discourse.

She arrived In Scranton lute Saturday night, having come from tiatcclona on the chattered government steamer infanta Isabelle. All the local teachers who went to Europe for their vacations have now returned and were on hand to take up their duties this Miss Mason describes the conditions In Spain at the outbreak of hostilities as chaotic with the Americans, temporarily marooned in the country, kept in suspense for many days waiting for funds and a steamer to bring them back to America.

"We did not know when we would be able to get passage back and when the opportunity finally came, it was at very sudden notiee. We heard of it onj Wednesday and on Friday went to Bar celona. To add to our suspense in Madrid, the money we cabled for failed to arrive. Everything was in a chaotic condition. Some government power work in the north of Spain was abandoned shortly before we left and the American engineers at work there returned on the same steamer that we came on.

The steamer was not overcrowded, although the men on board occupied the steerage and the women the cabins."

Hoban contrasted the scenes of the war that Is devastating Europe with the spiritual associations of the election and coronation of Pope Benedict XV.

who is alleged to have fired three bullets Into the body of Salvatore Mackalotz, following a conversation in front of the Savoy theater, Dunmore. last evening, and then disappeared. Mackalotz, who has a bullet in his left side and one In each leg. Is being treated by physicians at his home, 41s Corner street. He will recover, they say.

His story that Culo shot him when he refused to loan him fifty cents, does not satisfy the investigators. They believe that there are other causes which led to the near murder. Culo. whom Mackalotz identified as his assailant, has only been In Dun more a week. He came there a stranger and was known to only a few.

According to the story told by Mackalotz Culo stopped him on the street and asked him for fifty cents. When the latter refused the request. Culo whipped out a revolver and fired three shots, all of them taking effect. The wounded man was picked up by Patrolmen Malia and Ferguson, who heard the shots and hurried to the scene'. The gunman had made good his escape.

County Detective Matthews and Chief Burke, of the Dunmore police, are looking for the man today, believing that with his capture they will find a solution of the case. Mackalotz will not discuss the shooting.

All that the police have been able to determine is that a christening took place in the home of Michael Anto shock, in the rear of the FolinskI residence, and a free for all fight that ensued during the celebration might have prompted somebody to take Tevenge bv firing the explosive.

The detonation was terrific. Scores nf noranna in the Trinn Park section were aroused from slumber and for a time the excitement kept many out of doors. The police of the North Scran ton station were unable to account for the explosion, and not until Detectives Ben Gilbert and John Gilroy made an investigation later in the day was the real cause of the excitement discovered.
