BSHOPEFEADS CHURCAINMENCO i Pan-American Mass Speaker | Says Catholics Block Way to Bolshevism. Before a brilliant congregation of most of the pan-American diplomats and many Federal and local officials, Bishop William J. Hafey of Raleigh, N aimed the Catholic Church e barrier o the com- munization .of that country and the stundard bearer of government as known in this country against a bolshevistic regime, at the annual pan-American mass at Patrick’s Church this morning. Leaning forward in the pulpit after L stirring tribute to the American form of government and the liberal- ity of the United States Constitu- tion, Bishop Hafey declared The orthodox church in Russia stood forth as an obstacle to a tyranous so-called form of govern- ment known as Bolshevisi. .nd that chureh was disrupted and despoiled. It it had been testantism it would have heen mnot otherwise.

Buhler MadeI Hancock Statue and Marble Stairs in Library. ~Charles W_ Buhler, 77 years old, ‘Washington sculptor and stone carver of some note, of 1226 New Hampshire avenue, was knocked down yesterday afternoon by a truck driven by Boyce Helslup, 40 years old, 1214 N street, and taken to the Emergency Hospital, where he died of injuries and shock two hours later. According to the police, Buhler was crossing M street near Twenty-first street and walked into Heislup’s truck as Helslup was coming west on M street about 40 feet from the curb of Twenty-first street. Buhler's legs were broken and, according to the doctors, he died of shock. According to Mrs. Charles A. Vose, Buhler's daughter, Buhler did most of the carving of the marble stair- case in the Library of Congress. Also, sald Mrs. Vose, her father worked on the Hancock statue, at Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue, and made the McKinley bust in the post office at Baltimore. He has decorated many post offices throughout the country and did much of the work on the Gov- ernment printing office Buhler was born in many, December 22, 1849, and studied sculpture and stone carving in Ba- varia for many yvears before coming to the United States. He was the father of the late Richard Buhler, actor, who played in “Ben-Hur” and in the stock company at Poli’s Thea- ter some years ago. He is survived by two sons and two daughters, Frank Buhler, Charles W. Buhler, jr.; Mrs. E. A. Clark and Mrs, Vose.

The big church was packed with communicants from all of the Metho- dist Episcopal parishes of the city. Bishop McDowell built his sermon around the text found in Timothy: “I thank Him that He enabled me and counted me worthy of this min- istr: here are two ways of thinking of Thanksgiving, both of them per- fectly natural,” the bishop said. “One thinks of it in national terms and makes it a patriotic occasion, which is essentially in line with the historic orfgin of the day. The other makes it a personal matter and seizes the national observance as an ocea- sion for the expression of personal gratitude. These ways are not con- ¢ but parallel. There has probably grown up among us, both as citizens and as individuals, an unconscious tendency and disposition to emphasize mate- rial welfare and prosperity the basis for gratitude. “If, on the other hand, things have not gone well, if we have missed v and health and material we are quite likely to feel that we have precious little, if anything, to be thankful for. Deeper Basis Urged. ow, there must be a deeper basis for all of this if we are to observe the spiritual element of gratitude and thanksgiving in our lives as indi- viduals or as a nation.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 25.— Thanksgiving day. instituted 305 years ago by the Pligrims in Ply- mouth, Mass., because of a bounti- ful harvest which staved off possible famine and brought happiness to the people, was cclebrated by Americans today at home and abroad. President Coolidge, in his recent proclamation to make the day one of praise to God for a year in which the United States has been ‘‘blessed among the nations of the earth,” was but following out & custom extend- ing from the days of the Canaanites, down through the ancient Hebrews, Greece, Rome, medieval Saxony, pre- colonial England and the discovery of the new world as a mode for express- ing thanks for another 12 months of beneficence. Trains All Filled Trains leaving large cities through- out the country last night and this morning were filled with persons re- turning to their old homes for their annual Thanksgiving dinners. Suc- culent king of America’'s barnyard, the turkey, and cranberries, pumpkin pie and the like graced nearly every In big cities and towns the poor were bounteously served with all the good things that go to make the Thanksgiving day repast memorable. Abroad the celebration began last night in Paris, where the American Club gave its annual Thanksgiving eve dinner. As usual turkey was served, with just sufficlent sauces and trimmings to give the dinner an in- ternational flavor. Myron T. Herrick, the American Ambassador, delivered a speech in which he declared it was the duty of every American abroad to ald in bridging the gulf of misunder- standing that separates the Old and New World. Too Little Understood. Mr. Herrick said Americans too often were unable to understand Eu- ropean motives and facts of Euro- pean history. He referred to every European country as “the inheritor of a long tradition, for better or for worse, where the words conquest, domination, world empire and throne of the universe unremittingly recur.” Gen. Gouraud, military governor of Paris, in an addres outly defended France from the charge of militarism he believed implied by the Ambassa- dor's words. Alluding to war debts, Gen. Gouraud said France wids an honorabte natfon and would pay its obligations. “But,” he added, “we think we should not pay faster than the natfon that was responsible for the war pays Just reparation: s DEPEW SEESBEST OF THANKSGIVINGS Today Will Be Happiest America Has Ever Had, He Says, at 92. By tho Associated Press. NEW YORK, November Chauncey M. Depew believes Thanks- giving day this vear to be the hap- piest and Dest this country has ever had, and hopes the day will prove a “healthy, elevating and improving symbol of a better world, with more right-thinking and right-acting peo- ple.” Mr. Depew is 92 years old. He is ctically recovered from a recent ere attack of grip. “We have in the White House an unliluted Puritan for President, and people not at all serious-minded have an object lesson of a Puritan in power, and they like him,” Mr. Depew said. “We are the extremely practical people in the world and judge every- -thing by results. The result of Cool- idge’s two years has been what people want, and it s a characteristic. of Americans that they are wonderfully satisfied when they get what they want. pr Standard Finer Now. “When I was a boy everybody on Thanksgiving day or Sunday went to church and the churches were full But they were not really temperate, for e ate too much at the Thank noonday meal. Stom- ach aches became popular, because they were evidence you had enjoyed Thanksgiving. “I reckon we shall have glut- ton and the bootlegger Wwith s for many years, but as a Nation we are getting a finer standard of self-con- trol.” Mr. Depew said he believed more persons would reflect on the true significance of Thanksgiving this year than ever before and would understand its true implications. Danger of excess riches does not exist in this country, in the opinion |of the veteran statesman, who said: “We never can get too rich. We must seek a ger and wider dis- tribution of wealth. We are getting that in a way through high wages, but more rapidly through liberaliza- tion of great industries. Workers as shareholders is one of the best solu- tions of the problem. Metaphor No Longer True. “The biblical picture of a rich man getting into Heaven with the utmost difficulty no doubt was true when the metaphor was coined, but it is not true now. I don't know of any time or age when great fortunes were working more intelligently night and day than the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations, “Wealth in America is at work. It doesn't rust. Moths do not cor- rupt it. It no longer gives to the possessor any wonderful power, but it finds useful employment, sharing Its benefits in larger degree than ever before.” BURGLAR IS KILLED.

Awakened by his wife, who was confronted by the two robbers, Mich- lovich was struck on the head with a mace by one of the men, identified as Francesco Trippi, 25, of Wheeling. Although dazed, Michlovich wrested the pistol from the hands of the sec- ond robber, Alex Cozze, 27, of this city, and killed him. ‘Two boarders set ypon Trippi, maul- ing him so badly that doctors at a hospital despaired of his life, STONE CARVER, 77, HOLIDAY CROWDS | ENTOMBED 9 DAYS, JAM ALL TRAINS| FIVE MINERS SAVED, Flood Traps Workers in Shaft——One Man Still Missing Believed Drowned. By the Associated Press. HAZLETON, Pa., November 25.— ‘With five of its residents restored to their families after nine days’ impris- onment in the flooded workings of an anthracite mine 1,200 feet below the surface, the little mining town of Tom- hicken today celebrated its most im- pressive Thanksgiving day. The rescued men were the center of the observances, for, with one excep- tion, none of them appeared any the worse physically by his harrowing ex- perience. John Gondera was a bit weak from the long stretch without food, but physicians said he would be all right after a good rest. ‘The men were lifted from the flooded depths after nearly every one except their families had abandoned hope of finding them allve. They were trapped when Black Creek broke through its banks and flooded the Tomhicken mine on the afternoon of November 16, Charles Smith presumably was drowned in the first rush of the waters. Officials of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, owner of the colllery, said, however, that they would not lessen their efforts to find him. Stayed Above Water Line. Rescue crews, which had heen working in relays day' and night, reached the intombed men shortly be- fore 8 o'clock last night. They were found in an old breast above the water level off a tunnel. Henry Kirchdoerfer, assistant fora- man, upon whom every -one had counted to lead his fellow victims to places of safety, did everything that was expected of him, and more. At the first rush of water, he called to his men to run for their lives. Hastening up an old travelway to a gangway, he noted that the others had not followed him. Battling his way through the rising waters he re- traced his steps and led his comrades into the haven. Here they sat and watched the water rise as the flood reached its crest and then saw it grad- ually recede as the pumping opera- tlons of the rescuers proceeded. None of the imprisoned men had any food, for they were about ready to leave the mine when the flood came and all lunch boxes had been emptied. All, however, felt confident that they would be rescued. Kirchdoerfer kept up the spirits of his fellow workers and all had words of praise for him when they were brought to the sur- face and reunited with thelr famili Suffered From Cold. The men had only sulphur water to drink during their imprisonment, but they said this answered quite well They suffered somewhat from the cold, especially at night, but huddled together in efforts to keep warm. Physiclans, nurses and ambulances were waiting at the mouth of the mine when the men were brought out, but their services were not necessary. All the men insisted on going directly to their homes and doctors agreed that this was the best for them. Examination showed all to be in good physical condition, although some- what exhausted. The trapped men darkness. In fear which had begun to were_extinguished. to within two feet of the men while they were groping their way to safety. Unusual efforts were made to rescue the miners. Steam and electric pumps were started immediately after the flood to clear water from the workings. Large forces of men re- moved ~ vast quantities of debris washed into the shaft by the flood. Diamond drills penetrated the moun- tainside with four-inch holes in an ef- fort to get food and water to the men. Electric bulbs. so equipped as to bring to the surface a signal should the men be alive, were dropped through these hol Watchers at the surface end of the wires, however, saw nothing but discouragement, for no sign of life ever came from the depths. Bumping Cars Gave Warning. Kirchdoerfer, when the flood oc- curred, was going down the No. 8 slope when he heard the bumping of cars and surmised that something was wrong. He called to the men who had been damming up water in the No. 16 slope, turned and ran up an old travelway to No. 8 east old gang- way. When Kirchdoerfer got there he found that the men had not followed him. He ran through the waters and raced after his comrades who were running in the opposite direction in No. 16. Turning them about he led them back to the man- way to No. 8 east tunnel. There they found their way blocked by a fall, and climbed into an old breast which was above the water level. As they sat there they watched the water rise at first as the flood reached its crest, and then it gradually receded as the pumping operations proceeded. How long they sat there they could not tell. Frequently they threw stones into the water and were able to tell this way that the flood was golng down. Finally they got down to the gang- way after the water lowered and declded to work their way over to the tunnel on the west, reaching a point where a heavy fall of timber and other debris stopped them. They kept their watches going, but had difficulty in keeping track of the time. When they were brought to the surface some of them had argu- ments as to what day it was, some claiming that it was Thanksgiving day, but others insisted that it was last Monday. Officials of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. estimated that the cost of the res- cue work would exceed $100,00. REBELS IN ALBANIA MAKE FRESH STAND Zaka Forces, Driven From Scutori, Gain Recruits Among Tribesmen. 0 st d Chic By Cable g M consrieht, 106, 0 M1 BELGRADE, November 25.—Lorry loads of gendarmes and volunteers from Scutari drove Don Loro Zaka and the insurrectionists back to Nills, where the rebels are making a stand. Some say they are gaining recruits. The movement seems to be directed against Achmed Zogu, who is thought to be too friendly to Italy. It is said that Don Zaka has announced terms by which Zogu would remain as head of the Albanian government, but Italy would not receive all con- cessions. Rumors say the trouble arose over the Serb mining conces- sion, which Zogu granted without granting a short rail line concession necessary to exploiting of the mines. Albanian Minister to Belgrade states that the trouble was started by a few officers agitating among the sants, but that calm has now been stored. lived in of black hi utter all lamps — Tennis may be played in Winter on courts made of a cement composition recently introduced in England. ¢ damp, | The water came | 20 KILLED IN SLIDE rising | My Impressions of America By Her Majesty the Written Exclu Queen of Rumania ly for The Star and Other Members of the North ‘American Newspaper Alliance THE MARYHILL DEDICATION. Speaking of that long day before we arrived at Spokane, 1 forgot to mention that all along the way they brought us wonderful apples. It seems to be a great apple country. At one station there was also an Indian chief and his wife who brought us some splendid trout, and the old warrior presented me with a bow and arrows. This was truly a picture of the West and its quaint contrasts. I awoke to sunshine and a most arresting view of the Columbia River set in a curiously bleak but fascinating landscape in different tints of brown. All the grass wos duun color, with golden lights upon it, out of which deep brown rocks suddenly surged, as though old feudal castles in ruin; here and there stretches of sand like the desert, with faded reeds and weeds waving in the wind. These, too, had golden lights upon them, in fact, this whole landscape was a study in browns, buff and gold, with a back- ground of purple mountains dwindling away till they were but faint Japanese- like shadows. Also the crest of Mount Hood had with its crown of clouds a queer resemblance to Fuji- yama. This somewhat bleak country had a strange charm for me. There was something great and silent about it, something unkempt, which neverthe- less seemed to hold a hidden promise. Position Is Strategic. ‘We got out at a tiny station which has no name that I can remember and, accompanied by Mr. Hill, I drove in an open motor to that strange and enigmatic building constructed by that great road pioneer in a veritably strateglc position. It were too long to tell of all the forethought Samuel Hill has built into those concrete walls; as I sald in the little speech I made there in answer to the addresses of welcome tendered to me—a dream has been built into these walls, a big dream. A dream what the everyday man can hardly fathom. Several years ago, when I met Sam- uel Hill and when he became my friend, he spoke to me of what Mary- hill meant to him, and though to some it may seem a lonely and inexplicable spot in which to bulld a great house, he was able to fascinate me with the thought he had put into it. One of the léast unexpected features of the isolated dwelling is that you can, with a motor, drive straight into its big hall. This we did and it was here that the inauguration ceremony S held. I saw a certain astonishment writ- ten upon the faces of those who had come with me, not unmixed with irony. They could not well grasp what it all meant, nor how this half-untin- ished fortress-like house could be call- ed a museum. This aroused in me a desire to take up the cudgels for this great dreamer and for those who haa helped him to make his dream live. So, after the mayor of the place, Mr. Hill himself and M. Tirman had spok- en, I stood up like one who sees into the inside of things, and what I sald to that skeptical audience s a glow: ing defense of all dreamer: Strange Atmosphere Felt. There was a strange atmospherc about that place. E ybody felt it. 3ut few understood what it really w For a moment, while they were under the spell of my words, I made them understand, if not with their brains, anyhow with their souls. Yes, that morning I felt the strange urge to speak of deeper things and to call upon the better side in man, to stir up within every heart a desire for bigger and nobler things. “The dreamer dies, but never dies the dream.” This I belleve: When— as I said that day—the dreamer is also a builder, then he is working for to- morrow as well as today. That morning, too, that powerful desire came over me to make a plea for friendship. There was one who has been my friend through good days and bad for over 2§ years; be- cause this friend was so far removed from me in station some could not understand why such a friendship existed, and I tried at that hour, be- cause my tongue was untied, to make one and all realize that it was not caste which separated human hearts, nor which bound them, but an tnner something which the beggar can feel as well as the king. It is not always the great who can help, the humble one very often can do more, but, strange to say, even in a land of democracy this is not al- ways understood, and I could not help saying that morning that if any democracy is admitted it might truly be between hearts. There is a certain spark which goes from soul to soul which has nothing to do with position, rank or success. It s a spark that God puts into cer- tain souls, and these find each other, no matter how far apart they may be. Ceremony a Strange One. I know that for a moment at least that day 1 made those who had never dreamed wish, if only for a short time, that they could enter that charmed circle in which some dwell every day. The long and short of it is that that fnauguration of Maryhill Museum was a strange ceremony. and that there was something electric in the atmosphere that day, something which stood apart from everyday emotions, something that even the most ironical, the most denying felt. 1 saw more than one furtively wipe their eyes, all in pretending that they were not doing s0. Some openly confessed afterward that tears had choked them, although they had not understood why. I knew why. It was because certain depths d been touched and certain deep ters that lie dormant in every soul had suddenly welled up, and at such moments tears somehow cannot be denied.
