Walter. Rocco Blisto. -Lawrence The people of Sharpsburg last night celebrated the redemption of that borough from Republican misrule of two years.

The entire town was ablaze with red fire, as a parade of more than a mile In length passed over the principal streets, giving vent to great enthusiasm over the election of Democrats to most of the borough offices. entire population turned out to do honor to the great Democratic victory. Large crowds lined the streets from one end of the town to the other and cheered the marchers. For the night, at least, almost every person in Sharpsburg was a Democrat. At the recent election the Democrats won every borough office to be filled this year.

After holding control of the borough for six years the Democrats lost it two years ago. However, they came back strong this year, winning by large majorities. Democrats elected are: Council Patrick Haggerty, John G. Walter, Girard Sisco; school directors, John Gruenwald, Dr. Frank G.

Snyder, Lawrence Berner; justice of the peace, Patrick Coliins; constable, Rocco Blisto; auditor, Clifford Rylando. The celebration was characterized as a return of the Democrats from Salt River. The good ship "Weenie" on which the Democrats made the return trip, held a conspicuous place in the parade. Later it was turned over to the Republicans for the trip up Salt River. It will be in charge of Bureess W.

C. Tibby, as captain, and J. A. C. Stein, as first mate.

The Republicans will start on their trip after the first Monday of January. The parade last night was led ty W. T. not been treated the same as The "Globe" because their offenses were not so serious, but. declared the home secretary, if the government found from this tme forward any newspaper, be it small or great, making false statements which were obviously prejudicial to the public interests, they would be treated as the 0lobe" had been treated.

Sir William Pollard Bylea, who was once a journalist and chief proprietor of the Bradford "Observer," complained: "Our liberties are being taken away from us, one by one." Timothy Jlealy, Nationalist, and Henry K. Duke, Unionist, supported the government. Resuming the debate which was adjourned last night owing to absence of members of the cabinet, William member for the Brentford division of Middlesex, drew attention to the condition of the Royal Flying Corps and the naval air service. He said there was great dissatisfaction connected with the narval air service in regard to the organization and the appointment of a chief, who knew nothing about aircraft, above the heads of those who In fact had built up the fabric of the service. It was important, added the member, that England should have large, new aeroplanes for the offensive next spring, in order to meet the new airships and new aeroplanes which the Germans were building.

He asked why work on an English Zeppelin had been stopped In January, and whether the admiralty had dropped the policy of attacking Zeppelins by aeroplanes. KITCHENER ATTACKED. Arthur Lynch, Nationalist member for West Clare, made a strong attack against Lord Kitchener, who. he said, had blundered In not moving to the defense of Liege, again on the question of munitions, and once again in Serbia-. "The blunder in the Dardanelles," he added, "was at least a blunder of a man who meant to do something." He contended that the war was being conducted with signal Incompetence and that unless there was a change the country was moving straight to disaster.

He would sweep away 70 per cent of the higher British command, beginning with Field Marshal French, who had been in command 15 months and "had made no progress." In the last offensive, continued Mr. Lynch, the allies broke through the German lines, but in the superior command decision was wanting to take full advantage of the moral victory. The government, he declared, had no plan of campaign. The idea of a successful war of attrition was absurd. The war must be won in the field.

The men were good and munitions were there. It was leadership and direction which were lacking. BALFOUR DEFENDS AIR SERVICE. Mr. Balfour, replying to the remarks of Joynson-Hicks, said he did not think it ought to be assumed that the Germans had taken the lead in aircraft construc tion.

It was the desire of the admiralty and war offce to improve the construction of aircraft in strength, power and speed for the aerial defense of London. It would, of course, be an enormous advantage to have overwhelming forces of aircraft of the latest design which could be hurled against the invader and become invaders themselves, and the government was doing its best to Increase the number of aviators and machines for their use. "We are building," he said, "not an Inconsiderable number of lighter-than-alr craft at the moment, largely for the purpose of scouting. The question of light-er-than-air and heavier-than-alr craft is still undecided. There are many persons I who think that Germany chose wrongly in choosing Zeppelins." I Mr.

Balfour pointed out that although when the war broke out the air service I I I i Curley as chief marshal. Ho was followed by Aids T. J. McGIven, John FltB-patrick and James MoGiven, the latter three mounted on white mules. Next in line were numerous floats.

One represented a Salt River scene. Another was crowded with children who sang patriotic songs along the route. More than 1,000 persons participated In the parade. There were more than 100 automobiles, numerous auto trucKs, floats and wagons and hundreds of enthusiastic Democrats on foot. The Democratic rooster also was exhibited to good advantage.

George Green, In one of the leading automobiles, had the rooster perched aloft In a handsomely decorated cage. Many of the Republicans demonstrated mat. Liiey axe goou losers, a large number of them had their homes decorated and stood out in front burning red flre and cheering the paraders. George Car-michael, one of the defeated Republican condidates, appeared on the porch of his home, wrapped In a large American flag and wearing a high silk hat. With sticks of red fire in each hand, he waved to the Democrats and cheered enthusiastically as the parade passed.

crats In the borough was Thomas Dougherty, who was the leading spirit in ar- ranging the parade. He was cheered from one end of the town to the other. All of the winning Democratic candidates also participated in the parade. They occupied automobiles In the front of the line and were greeted enthusiastically along the entire route. was relatively In Its Infancy, It would be found that during the progress of the war it had not fallen behind that against which it was matched.

In fact, it had outgrown its primitive condition and had to be put under the accepted system of the admiralty. The largest part of the defena of London, continued the first lord, must be a coast defense, and as they got more of the appliances for this purpose they would more nearly succeed in achieving it. At present the admiralty were limited by their means of defense, but they were making guns as fast as they could. Just as they were making aeroplanes and developing pilots as fast as they could. The anti-air craft defense were improving daily.

They were becoming more formidable, and would be much more formidable than they are at present. The service was being constantly pulled up by the shortage of men, and no fairy waving of wands could put that right. The aeroplanes had not yet the range to enable it to proceed from these shores and become a menace. The enemy Zeppelins which attacked England came from North Germany, which It was not easy for British airoraft to attack. LYNCHS SPEECH CRITICIZED.

"With respect to the charges of blundering in the operations, Mr. Balfour ald he had no doubt there was much talent in the country which was not finding its best operation; nor did he think that every man in high command was the very best man that omniscience could discover, but nothing could be gained by such a rpeech as Mr. Lynch had delivered. No practical suggestion had been mads except that every man now engaged should be turned out and some unspecified persons put In to direct affairs. He quite agreed that wherever merit was found it should be promoted, but broadcast criticisms of the soldiers and reckless attacks on the diplomatic service, he declared, did no good to the cause of the country, nor helped those responsible for public affairs.

A delegation of more than 200 Democrats from MLllvale, led by James Houla-hen, recent Democratic candidate for county commissioner, participated in the parade and made more noise than any other section. They reached Sharpsburg armed with all sorts of noise making instruments and procee'ded to give vent to their enthusiasm in a manner which brought forth cheers and applause from the crowds.
