PHILADELPHIA NOT RAZED
BY THEORETICAL ENEMY
War Game Reports Untrustworthy.
Moran's Brigade Only Real Victims

The danger is past. The enemy has
been beaten off and the city Is safe from
capture. Reports that the city was laid
in ruins by the fire of allen guns is false.
In fact, had there been a bigger navy
the enemy could not even have landed on
our territory
OF course, the reports of the lombard
ment of the city were theoretical and
therefore the declaration that the city is
saved from capture As also theoretical. In
fact. had 1t not been for an announce
ment by the Navy Department following
the war game that the North Atlantic
fleet has been playing no one would have
known anything about 1t.
Despite the facts that the war man
euvers we're entirely theoretical and that
Philadelphia did not actually fall into
the hands of the enemy, there has been
much confusion. Apparently the war cor
respondents have not been allowed very
close to the firing lines, and as a conse-
quence the newspapers nave been de-
pendent on conflicting reports censored
by military and naval authorities. Per-
haps this accounts for the fact that one
newspaper today said that Philadelphia
was virtually in ruins, while another said
that Philadelphia had held the invaders
at bay.
It may be said at this time positively
that the attack has caused not penny's
worth of damage in Billy PENIS city,
although 1t is officially stated that the
navy yard at League Island has been bad
ly damaged by the dropping of bombs
from aeroplanes. Another report equally
alarming states that Washington and Bal
timore have been reduced to ruins.

British Attitude DepIored

The action of Britain in preventing neu-
trail countries from sending foodstuffs and
cotton TO Germany was deplored by DIR.
Robert Ellis Thompson. president of the
Central High School, today in the course
of an address before the schools debating
society. In discussing conditions due to
the war, he referred to the conflict be-
tween Russia and Japan, and pointed out
that Britain sent foodstuffs and cotton
to Japan during that memorable struggle.
In view of this, the speaker said Britain s
attitude was now inconsistent. Speaking
on the question of preparedness, Doctor
Thompson agreed with the views of those
who favor a larger army and navy.

outlook quickly enough to make the
crop figures fully serviceable to the pub
lie The cost was greater than antcipat-
ed, and the special articles published
therein frequently were lost to sight and
failed to secure the direct attention of
farmers that the circular series of the
Department or the Weekly News Letter
would give them. The separation of the
crop reports from the other material, not
directly pertinent thereto, will enable the
Department to publish the details OF

economies, and make possible more direc,

be continued. but full provision is now
made for their wide publication through

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suffer-
ing from catarrh and head noises. Ameri-
can people would do we'll to consider the
method employed by the English to COM,
bat this insidious disease. Everyone
knows how damp the English climate Is
from catarrh. In England they treat
catarrhal deafness and head noises as
constitutional disease and use an inter-
nal remedy for it that Is really very eff
cacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
watch tick tell how they had their hear
ing restored by this English treatment to

cheS away from either ear.
Therefore, If you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deaf
ness or head noises, cut out this formula
and hand it to them and you will have
been the means of saving some poor suf-
ferer perhaps from total deafness. The

tablespoonful four times q day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the infiamma-
ton and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct any
excess of secretions in the middle ear,
and the results it gives are usually re-
markedly quick and effective.
Every person who has catarrh In any
form should give this recipe a trial and
free themselves from this destructive dis

A new ACCOUNTING
SYSTEM, FOR FRUIT
ASSOCIATIONS

Washington, May 9.-Copies of the
accounting forms necessary in a new
system of accounting for cooperative
tanned from the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. This sys-
tenn has been worked out by the De-
partment to meet the needs of the
smaller organizations which handla
fruit and produce. on a commission
basis. There are several hundred of
such cooperative organizations in the
United States at present and new
ones are continually being forme,
Many Of these, however, are short
lived, and their failure can be traced
in many cases to a faulty system Of
accounting. In the new system des-
cribed by the Department of Agricul-
ture in Bulletin No. o25, "A System
of Accounting for Cooperative Fruit
Associations, an envelope system IS
substituted for the sale book as being
records and papers are held from the
time the fruit is received until pay
ment is made by the person to whom
a carload of fruit is shipped. There
is thus one envelope for each carload
shipment. After the car has been
paid for, the difference between the
amount received and the various
charges connected with the shipment
constitutes the balance due to the
grower.

ton on this subject are requested to

AMERICAN PLAN FOR RELIEF

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence,
PetroGrad, April 10.-The system hur-
riedly instituted by the American en-
bassy at the outbreak of war for the
relief of German and Austrian resi-
dents of Russia has been developed by
Montgomery Schuyler, special agent Of
the state department, into q smooth
ly-working machine which handles the
details with utmost dispatch. Mr.

appointee Of the state department, and

personal affairs. pending possible SINH

When the war began, the embassy

lack of funds. Neither the German or
Austrian governments appeared to ap-

ately. The amount first authorized by
them for the work was totally made

ficulty was overcome. however, as soon
as the facts could be made known, and

Another difficulty is the uncer-

by the constant requisition of ma

requisitioning by the military au-

flamenco of old ones. The revival Of
Belgian industry Of which many of
our newspapers speak amounts to
this: number of businesses are
working two or three days a week.
These facts should be a warning
against exaggerated optimism as to
