Philadelphia, May IL. - President

the first intimation of what course the
United States government will pursue
In the situation arising from the loss
OF more than hundred American
lives on the British liner Lusitania.
lie spoke by implication, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
meaning that while the United States
would remain at peace II would seek
to convince Germany of the injustice
to mankind OF the tragedy of last
Friday.
America, said the President,
must have the consciousness that ON
all sides II touches elbows and
touches hearts with all nations OF
mankind. The example of America
must be special example, and must
be an example not merely OF peace
because it will not fight, but because
peace is the healing and elevating in
fluence OF the world and strife is not.
There is such thing as a man being
too proud to fight. There is such
thing as being so right that 1t does
not need to convince others by force
that il is right"
These remarks precipitated tu-
multi of applause and patriotic enthu-
siasm attended by waving of thous-
ands OF small American flags.
The President made no direct refer
ence to the Lusitania but the audi
ence did not hesitate to read the ap-
plication of his statement.
The sentiment expressed in the
Presidents speech was epitomized
later by one OF his closest advisers as
Humanity First" While it had not
yet been decided, he said, exactly
what steps would be taken by the
United States in the present crisis.
the idea uppermost in the Presidents
mind was to show that whatever
course is adopted-no matter how
vigorous-it will have as It's objective
the good of humanity
While you bring. he said, ''all coun.
tries with you, you come with nur-
pose of leaving all other countries be-
hind you. bringing what is best OF
their spirit but not looking over your
shoulder. and seeking to perpetuate
what you intended to leave in them.
would not certainly be one who
would suggest that man cease to
love the place Of his origin. 1t is
one thing to love the place where you
were born, and another thing to dedi-
cate yourself to the place to which
you go. You can't be an American II
you think Of yourself in groups.
America does not consist Of groups.
A man who considers himself as be-
longing to a national group is not yet
an American. My advice to you is to
think first not only Of America. but
TO think first of humanity. and you
do not love humanity II you seek to
divide humanity into jealous camps"
The President was constantly inter
rupted by spontaneous outbursts OF
applause. He spoke clearly, and so
quiet was his audience Of $4,000 that
he could be heard distinctly in all
parts of the great hall Everywhere
the red white and blue flag and bunt-

Jim Barton in a front line imperson-

Charlie Chaplin, conVulsed his large
audiences at the Auditorium on Thurs
day when the Krazy Kapers launched
forth an entirely new bill styled Fifty
Per Cent. Syndicate. Jim Barton's
hne OF comedy is brand new to Nor
witch people and he has made a hit in
his impersonation of Charlie. His
makeup is true in every sense of the
word, even to the funny little hat and
big feet always in each others way
while his mannerisms are perfect. The
entire show was full of fun from start
to finish. A number of pretty song
numbers were featured and Miss Ford
and Miss Klein were heard in new
duets. The costumes were pretty and
the stage setting was attractive.

in which Rosemary Theby was ably as

ments Next Wednesday.

In making the first argument for the
plaintiff, The arguments will be re-
sumed on "Wednesday morning, as the
court is to be occupied on Tuesday
with a naturalization session.
One of the incidents of the trial on
Thursday afternoon was the viewing of
the Gordon automobile by the judge,
jurors and attorneys, which was done
at the suggestion of Attorney Hadlai
A. Hull for the defendant. The auto
mobile was in front of the courthouse
at the time, and when the body of men
trooped out to inspect it they quickly
had an attendant crowd of consider
able size, as the impression spread
that there mad been an automobile ac-
cident, especially when DR.. w. K. Ting
ley drove UP in his machine, coming in
response to a summons to testify in
the case.
Major Hull, with Attorney C. V.
James, who is with him in the case,
explained the mechanism of the Cor
don automobile, which was the machine
that Mr.. Gordon was using at the time

Aug. Is last, his death in the hospital
following on Sept. 3.

told of methods of dressing wounds,
and said he used a special kind Of
catgut for sewing and said he did not
care for the kind used at the hospital
as it is prepared by young doctors in
another hospital. He told of the prob
able effect of wounds and was cross
examined by Attorney Desmond. The
doctor said he did not see Mr.. Des-
maFais until after he was dead.
DR.. Kimball was followed by Peter
Cicarelli, an automobile driver and
garage proprietor, who testified to the
operation of automobiles, and said the
Gordon machine could have been stop
ped in four feet if travelling at ten
miles per hour on first speed. Rachel
Gordon, Abraham Levine and John
Evans were also witnesses in the
morning, and just before court ad-
journed for the noon recess Jacob
Gordon, owner and driver of the car
and defendant in this case. was called
to the stand and testified that he was
