LIKES pHLApELPHIA,s CARS

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger!
Sir-As a recent arrival from the home OF
the Braves, l want TO compliment Philadel-
phia on its street cars-the big green ones, of
course Boston thinks pretty well OF her own
trolleys. especially the "pay- -as-you-e enters"
which she calls Prepayment Cars" But
they're not to be compared with Philadelphia's
The big virtue OF these is their front entrance
which let's the passenger get a little help from
the motion of the car in getting to his seat
the ventilation system Is not TO be passed by
without commendation. L. s, H.

the country at the head of the process
sion was that of universal radicalism.
And his car had to stop to let them
pass. For an instant the indignation
of military autocracy rose strong with
in him at sight of the national colors
in such company. But he noted how
naturally the men kept step; the
solidarity of their movement. The
stamp of their army service in youth
could not be easily removed. He real
lied the advantage of heading an army
In which defense was not dependent
on a mixture of regulars and volun-
teers, but on universal CONSUMPTION
that brought every able-bodied man
under discipline.
These reservists, in the event OF
war, would hear the call of race and
they would fight for the one flag that
then had any significance. Yes, the
old human impulses would predomi-
nate and the only enemy would be on
the other side of the frontier. They
would be pawns of his will-the will
that Marta Galland had said would
make him chief of staff.
Wasn't war the real cure for the
general unrest? Wasn't the nation
growing stale from the long peace? He
was ready for war now that he had be-
come vice-chief, when the retirement
of His Excellency, unable to bear the
weight Of his years and decorations in
the field, would make him the supreme
commander. One ambition gained, he
heard the appeal of another; to live
to see the guns and rifles that had
fred only blank cartridges in practice
pouring out shells and bullets, and all
the battalions that had played at sham
war in maneuvers engaged in real
war, under his direction. He saw his
columns sweeping up the slopes of the
Brown range. Victory was certain. He
would be the first to lead great mod
ern army against a great modern
army; his place as the master of mod
ern tactics secure in the minds of all
the soldiers of the world. The public
would forget its unrest in the thrill of
