WILSON FINISHES
NOTE FOR BRITAIN
Protest on Stopping of Ships To
Be Sent This Week.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-President Will
son has practically completed his ex-
animation Of the draft Of the note TO
Great Britain submitted by Secretary
Lansing. It IS stated authoritstively
that the note will not be delayed be-
yond this week.
Owing to the complex nature OF the
subject and the extreme length of the
document, the President has been OBJ
liged to devote a great deal Of time to
it. He worked yesterday on his way TO
Princeton. and again turned his at
tention 20 II this morning.
The sending Of the note has lcen
postponed several times on account OF
new notes from Great Britain, and be-
cause of the acute nature Of the Ger
man controversy. Twice il has been
necessary to redraft II completely 70
incorporate the State Departments
conclusions on new developments In
the commercial situation.
officials Of the State Department say
that they do not expect any new con-
cessions from Great Britain as a re-
suit of their representations. There
can be no doubt, they say, that the
controversy with Great Britain over
restraint of neutral commerce will
have TO be submitted 10 arbitration

LANSING CONSIDERS
PAROLE VIOLATIONS
German Crews at Norfolk To Be
Kept on Their Ships.
lFrom The Tribans Bureau ]

Washington, Oct. 20.-Franklin D.
Roosevelt, acting Secretary OF the Navy,
referred 10 the State Department to-day
the cases OF breach OF parole Of eight
German naval officers interned al the
Norfolk Navy Yard Secretary Lansing
has not decided what action will be
taken, but IL is probable that the Ger
man government will be asked 10 re-
turn the men If they reach the Father
land.
The Navy Department has no trace Of
the men. War vessels off the Capes have
been notified Of the flight of the yacht
Eclipse.
Precedent for a demand on the Ger
man government for the return of the
men exists In the case OF two Russian
officers who escaped from internment
in San Francisco during the Russo-Jap-
anese war and made their way back TO
Russia The Russian government, at
the request Of the State Department,
sent them back.
The Navy Department is determined
that no more informed Germans shall
escape. II is understood that the paroles
will be revoked and that the officers and
crews Of the interned cruisers Prinz
Eitel Friedrich and kronprinz Wilhelm
will be confined 10 their shipa.

WOULD QUIT BRITAIN
TO ESCAPE SERVICE
Strikers Desire to Emigrate
May Hasten CONSUMPTION.
lBy csble 10 Ths Thbun.I

London, Oct. 20.-Close on the heels
Of the announcement that if Lord Der
by's campaign for recruiting is unsuc-
cessful Britain will adopt conscription
at the end of six weeks appear start
ling indications that great number Of
men eligible for military service are
making plans for emigration to Amer
lea and the British colonies-even TO
Ireland-to escape service. That this
Is no idle rumor is proved by the fact
that half a dozen letters we're received
this morning by The Tribune CORE
spondent asking for information re-
garding the proper bureau or authority
TO give details needed by emigrants 70
America.
There seems 70 be no doubt that this
outflow will reach serious proportions
unless il is checked by government sc-
ton, and the authorities will deal with
the new problem Immediately.
Ii is pointed out that grave damage
would be done TO England should any
great number of her sons pour into
Canada, Australia or India, which have
given freely Of their men and supplies
to help the mother country. Aside
from this injury would be the moral
effect on Great Britains allies. IL is
possible that CONSUMPTION may come
sooner than it is anticipated. for ap-
parently there is no legal method OF
stopping emigration until it is adopted.
In order 10 release men of military
age in London, it WAS announced at the
Police Department this evening that
hereafter licenses would be issued TO
women TO work as omnibus and street
car conductors.

Petrogrnd, oct. 20 Dispatch TO The
Daily Chronicle" London Operations
on the Riga front are growing more Sc
rious. The Germans have brought up
achievements, partly from the Dvina
front and partly from reserves in the
rear. Apparently they intend once
more 70 undertake the exceedingly DIFF
Acult task Of forcing the Dyina near
Riga
The country along the left bank OF
the Dvina toward the mouth Is thickly
wooded and it is impossible TO operate
here on a front at once broad and COM
pact. The Germans are advancing in
separate columns from the Mitau- Win
dsu and the Mitau-Neugut section OF
the railway. They have advanced about
two miles, but are being actively en-
gagged by the Russian troops.
Near Friedrichstadt their artillery
has opened fire from the left bank on
the Riga-Dvinsk railway, which here
runs close to the northern bank Of the
river. The Russians are pressing on
the tanks, bombing stations between
Mitau and Neugut from their Sikorsky
biplanes and at the same time opposing
strong resistance TO the unceasing fire
Of the enemy on Dvinsk.
The new Riga operations by the Ger
mans seem for the present TO be in
stage of reconnaissance. The develop
ment will depend on the turns OF fort
une rather than on any definite plan.

What difference does it make 10 the average man and woman going none t night whether they arrive at 'heh destination at 6.01 or 603? Tho same thing can be said with almost equai truth in the morning.

 it Is said that the commissioners are servants of the people and should re iiect their wishes. They are servants S CT the people, but their proper office IS To protect the public welfare. His tcry touches, without I believe a snH- .ary exception, that the men who have become really great. who have had and ncid the popular approval, have been those who studiously refrained from oenoing to every passing breeze. The true o1Iice of public servant Is to De leader. not follower of public opinion. The public expects the com mission to do what is right, and the pupilc Will support the commission in such a policy. as they have always done in the case of honest and faithful servants. 1t does not expect the com : mission to sacrifice wantonly the pub- lic revenues in order to maintain the phantom of competition, which is un- equal to the demands of a great city. and which. in the nature of things, can never become so.
 Just now the principal office which the jitneys serve Is to enable seconn hand dealers to sell their old cars to men grabbing at straws in an effort to secure something to do. This is not sufficient reason to permit dan gerous service of this kind to go prlc- rica.ly unregulated. to- pay virtually nothing for the use of the Public streets. to maintain no systematic schedules, and to fmpoverish thes one transportation agency in the commu- nity capable of meeting its needs.
 "If the street railway company ia forced to default upon it's bonds be- cause of unjust and unfair competi- tion, twill not be the company which bears the burden of ultimate loss.

The more fact that the jitneys themselves have practically disappeared where anything likc req Honable regulation has been attemrt ted proves that they are wholly unable to cope with. or supply the public needs.

PISGAH HOME, WHERE A DANCE HALL
 WAS CONVERTED INTO A CHURCH

One frequently reads of some edifice
 or institution formerly used for religious
 purposes that has changed ownership, be-
 other secular purposes, but one rarely
 reads of dance hall being converted into
 a church. Yet this has occurred in Bir-
 mingham, for at Germania park. a place
 noted in the past for its revelries, such
 transformation has taken place, and
 peace and quietude and religious effort
 now prevail in that once noted pleasure
 resort.
 The transformation was brought about
 when the trustees of the Pisgah home. one
 of the most worthy of the Birmingham charities, bought the park short time ago
 and have. gradually brought about the
 change. If there is an institution In the
 city that is purely charitable in it's na-
 lure it is the Pisgah home. It's purpose Is
 to care for temporarily the unfortunate
 and down and out of both sexes Its
 doors are open night and day and no
 needy person is turned away. Like many
 of the other institutions of the city its
 work is hampered by lack of funds.
 but without complaint. without ostenta- ton, without abating one iota in zeal, those in charge of the institution have
 gone steadily on doing all the good they bean for lowly and fallen humanity. The question is often asked what is the particular purpose of the Pisgah home The question can be answered in a few words. Its main purpose is to help un- fortunate people to help themselves. Like Dr. Hall, those in charge of the home do not subscribe to the proposition that any person is down and out" They be- lieve a person can be down" but not 'out' until dead. It Is not an almshouse to care for the aged and indigent indefi- nitely, 1t is not a prison for the detention of those charged with crime, it is not a place where able-bodied idlers can find food and shelter, but place where the poor and needy and unfortunate can re-
 ceive aid and encouragement toward bet ter things.
 It is practical in it's methods in that one of it's greatest activities is to provide employment for the man or woman who knocks at its gate. It requires those who stay for any length of time to work, the women at the washtub, the men in the garden But unlike other institutions no task Is required for nights lodging or a meal. The girl who has been betrayed 1 finds shelter in sequestered spot, and is tenderly cared for until the approach 1 ing hours of maternity, when she is taken to the Hillman hospital and on her return to the home she and her babe are again taken until she can find employment. The records of these few years show wonder- l ful results in finding such girls and women employment.
 The home is in charge of Mrs. M. J. Woods. whose heart is in her work. and
 women of mature years who seems partic- ularly adapted for the position she oc- cupies. She is well known in this dis
 trict, having resided here for many years
