I Keen (United Press. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Oct. 29. The Italian situation dominated the whole wcr viewpoint today. Engulfed by an overwhelmingly superior force in men and guns, Italy's armies were fast being thrown back In a rout.

The whole British press was unanimous today in insisting that lie Allies must grant immediate aid. Although all circles reiterated their motives running double, without cars attached, rounded a curve It seems as though it will take a real battle to wake up our women. We hope it will never come, but if the news ever does come to Mount Carmel that fifty or a hundred of our brave boys were shot to pieces, and died horrible deaths because there weren't enough surgical dressings to relieve their sufferings, there will be a great rush to the Red Cross room's- We believe there are at least 3000 women in Mount Carmel who could give at least a. few minutes a week to lih is Work. Less than 50 have been on the job.

The Red Cross rooms are open every afternoon and almost every evening except Saturday, next to the First National Bank. Please cnll. You are needed.

First he put new spirit into the congregation, and the people, under his' guidance, got down to hard work. The first undertaking was fixing the parish house, with new floor, windows, etc.

On the following Easter the new organ was placed in the church. Then the debt on the rectory was paid off, and a heat plant installed. In 1912 the parish house was completely rebuilt. In the fall of 1913 Rector Morgan did his best work 'acquiring the corner, at Fourth and Maple streets, then occupied by a blacksmith shop and an old house.

In 1914 the rectory was moved to front on Maple street, and the church was greatly enlarged, its seating capacity doubled, and the structure completely refurnished and re-equipped. You who remember what Fourth and Maple streets looked like a few years ago, and who like to look at this real beauty spot today, can best realize what has been accomplished.

The parish property today is one that would be a credit to any city in the land. In the year 1914 alone there was spent $6,000. for property site and $12,000. for church Improvements, and Mr. Morgan deserves the credit for financing the entire undertaking.

Today the property is valued at $50,000.00, and there isn't one cent of debt. The parish has not merely had a physical or financial growth. When Mr. Morgan came here the membership of St. Stephen's was just 47.

Today there are 326 communicants, and last year alone 62 were transferred to other parishes, many going to the new Episcopal church at Kulp-mont, which prior to that time was included in this parish. On the first Sunday in December, 1910, when Mr. Morgan took charge, there were 27 members of the Sunday School. Now there are 210. The Primary department alone has 60.

In 1910 the choir numbered just nine singers. During his administration he organized the vested choir that made the church famous. There are now 50 male and 30 female voices, superbly trained. The man who has done so much for his church and for his town is going to take a well-earned and much-needed rest. The parish and the town are greatly in his debt.
