officer, who was dashed to the rigging,
blew his whistle until the rising tide

passed it to sailor, saying: Here,
chum, you can do better with that
than / can," and fell back dead. The
blowing of the whistle brought a life

method OF warfare which sends aircraft
over sleeping cities and drops bombs
among civilians. This is not war it is
just plain murder and has been well
called a crime against humanity
I'm many cases there can be no military
justification for vast money ievies against
defenseless municipalities.
Equally to be condemned Is the float
ing OF mines in the ocean track of
neutral commerce. AS humanitarians VIC

The Philadelphians said that never in
their lives had they been so glad to see
the shores of America, They were among
the ls6 tirSt-cabin passengers on the
Merton. They had fed with others from
the very centre of Europe's conflict after
seeing unforgettable scenes. One pas

EXPECT BRITISH TO PLACE
BIG SWEATER ORDER HERE
81 900, 900 Contract Would Give
Thousands Work in This City.

Agents of the British Government are
discussing prices with local yarn manu-
facturers dyers and sweater manufac-
turers with the intention of placing an
order for 100000 sweaters for the British
army. This order will be worth about
600 900 and will bring work to thou
sands of textile workers for several
weeks to come.
The local mills at this time are not
busy. and, in view of the fact that the
sweaters will have to be delivered before
winter sets in, they have high hopes that
the greater part of the order will be
placed here, due to the fact that imme-
date delivery can be made on a portion
of the order.
While the Pennsylvania Knitting Mills
would not make public any of the de-
tails of the transaction, they verified the
statement that they were in cable COM
munlcation with agents of the British
Government. 1t was further learned that
& Co. was figuring on supplying the
yarns for 100000 sweaters
The sweaters wanted are practically
the same as those now used in the United
States army and navy. They will be
of a khaki color to harmonize with the
service uniforms now worn by the British
troops. They will have a plain w. neck
without roll collar and will button down
the front.
The Hygienic F1eeced Underwear Com
pany recently supplied the United States
army with a large order of these sweaters
Competitive bids on $1,000 lots of these
sweaters varied from s212 to $3.50 each

15-YEAR- FAN"
FIRST IN LINE FOR
BASEBALL CLASSIC
Joe Banks Pitches Camp at
Ticket Window Two Days
Before Sale of Worlds
Series Pasteboards Begins.

Hats off, all We fane TO Joe Banks, oi
61s Broadway, Camden, who was the
first in line today for the purchase Of
baseball tickets to the worlds series.
He formed line all of his own and
will probably hold ii alone for many
hours, for the tickets won't be placed on
sale until Wednesday
Joe Is 15 years old and says that he
does not know what a ticket speculatof
is. He says that his father, John Banks
who is an insurance agent, only wants
two s. tickets for every game to be
played in Philadelphia.
His father discussed the matter over
with him and with Sam, his 19-year-old
brother and said he would make 1t in
trresting for them if they would get
the tickets.
It was at 1880 o'clock this morning that
Joe, with n big bag of sandwiches under
one arm and a wooden box under the
other. took up his position at the Ninth
street entrance to Gimbel Brothers, where
the tickets will be sold. He Immediately
s"t UP a camp.
He expects to be relieved this evening
1T $50 o'clock by Brother Sam. They
will take turns about holding the posi-
ton of advantage until the window of
the ticket box Is thrown open.
Joe says that he likes the job. There
Is plenty to see on Ninth street and then
he expects that his fathers reward will
be q handsome one.
It was II o'clock when Joe ate his
lunch. He got hungry again and in
duced a newsboy to hold down the box
while he went skirmishing. He gave the
''newsy" a nickel for not betrayins the
trust and selling the position to some
one else.
Last year a ticket speculator captured
all six first places In the line. He put. his
men in position when another ticket spec
ulator came along and invited the six
to have a little refreshments. The six
agreed and when they returned the six
were a hundred or more number back
and the rival agent smiled cheerfully at
the men who had taken the places and
talked to them just as II he knew them.
