- rible expensive nowadays"
Louis Birsky the real estater
remarked, as he seated himself oppo-
site Barnet Zapp In Wasserbaure's
Restaurant. This observation had
been provoked by notice in the bill of
fare that on and after a certain date
the 40 cent regular dinner would be
increased to so cents, and Zapp looked
up from plate of lokshen soup to in
dorse Birsky's sentiment with a nod SO
emphatic that drops of the greasy fluid
were scattered all around.
II bet yer" Zapp said, cleansing his
mustache with his lower lip. "Only
this morning see 1t costs Marcus Fast
two thousand dollars for an automo-
bile already"
"You don't tell mer' Louis ex-
claimed.
"And Harris Shapolnik must also got
to pay for some diamonds fifteen hun
dred dollars" Zapp continued, while
Brsky wagged his head from side to
side and made incoherent noises
through his nose indicative of shocked
surprise.
Il always thought them two fellers
was pretty saving with their money"
he commented.
"a couple of tighter propositions
don't exist at ALL" Zapp agreed.
"Then what do they go to work and
buy all them things for?" Birsky asked
"Who says they bought 'em?" Zapp
asked. "All says Is that Marcus Fast
pays two thousand dollars for an auto
mobile and Harris Shapolnik pays fif-
teen hundred dollars for some dia-
monds, understand me, but it was ia
cob j. Rebfield who bought the auto
mobile and Sam PITT bought the dia-
monds. Also l could prove it to you,
black on white"
Here he produced clipping which
read as follows:
BUSINESS TROUBLES
Rebfield & Pitz.-Schedules in the
bankruptcy of Rebfeld & PITT, cloak
and suit manufacturers, were filed in
the office of the clerk of the United
States District Court yesterday. The
principal creditors are as follows:
Franco-American Woollen Cos21, 432 So
koscusko Bank tsecured...... 10.e42SO
"a. Fast q co .................... 2,0S045
II. Shapolnik & Son.............. 1880
'What did them Franco-American
people pay for?" Birsky asked. "A
steam yatch?"
i couldn't tell you exactly" Zapp
replied, "but you could reckon twenty
hve hundred dollars that Mrs. Reb-
held must got to go to Palm Beach a
year ago, understand me, and another
couple thousand that Bertha PITT is
the Belle of the Boardwalk in Arverne
last summer, Birsky, and that's the
way it goes"
Them two boys certainly lived be-
yond their MEANS" Zapp said.
And 1t amt their fault that they
didn't live beyond Marcus Fast's
means and Harris Shapolniks means
also, because when a business man
starts in TO live beyond his means,
blrsky, he's got downtown con-
science and an uptown conscience.
That's why when Rebfield buys his au-
tomobile on Broadway and Fifty-sev
enth Street for net cash, he didn't
worry himself how much he owes TO
couple of Canal Street woollen houses
ike Marcus Fast and Harris Shapol-
nix
Amt it funny how most of them ex-
fravagant fellers is got such an elegant
reputation for good pay?" Birsky said.
"On the West Side above Forty-see-
ond Street." Zapp amended. and
that's what I'm telling you, Birsky.
Marcus Fast pays for Rebfield's auto
mobile. Just so sure as if he would of

IPacificists Will
Issue Manifesto

Chicago, June 10.-William j. Bryan
and his co-workers in the peace cause
most prominent among whom are
Henry Ford and DR.. David Starr Jor-
dan-will make their supreme effort
in a manifesto that is to be made pub
lie soon.
The manifesto will be addressed to
the people of the United States, and
will make a powerful appeal to the
peace sentiment they believe now con-
trolls the country, calling upon the
government at Washington to main-
tain neutrality.
There will be n strong appeal to
the reace sentiment in the hearts OF
the individuals that is expected to tenn
per the preparedness and war declar-
ations that may be adopted by the two
great political parties in national con-
vention and set in force movement
against undue enlargement of either
the army or the navy.
The manifesto has been written, its
every word weirhed and determined,
and it is on its way about the country
for the signatures of those who are
to stand sponsor for its message.
The plan is to obtain the signatures
of 1000 educators. public men. profess
sional men and those of nationwide
standing and let their signatures be
used in the publication.
The manifesto opens with lengthy
quotation from President Wilson, TAX
en- from one of his peace messages to
Congress about eighteen omnths ago,
in which he declares this country must
not only declare a real and lasting
neutrality as between the nations at
war, but that it must make that neu-
trality absolute in fact as well as in
theory and make it continue unques-
toned
The purpose of the quotation from
the president is read here to mean a
direct challenge, it being directed at
him to prove, if he will, that the peace
and neutrality statements of eighteen
months ago have been made good and
are now in effect.
A direct shaft at the president just
as the delegates are gathering to
write a new national platform and
brought to the fore. with the name Of
William JENNINGS Bryan first in the
thousand signatures, means what may
be master stroke by the Nebraska
man to induce public opinion to sup
port his plans and not follow those
of others.
A,none. the men associated with Mr..
Bryan in the peace manifesto are DR..
David Starr Jordan of California: +:
Henry Ford of Detroit; Rudolph
Spreckels of New York and San Fran
cisco and such men as George B. Nc
Clellan Of New Jersey.
The appeal, while aimed at the
president, is also addressed to the in
dividual American, and is intended to
reach him at the home with his fam
ily. The statements following the Will
son quotations are that the individu-
ais of this country should be neutral
and impartial and the constant advo-
Gates OF peace among the nations and
lpeace among themselves.
