GREAT IN THE
UNITED STATES
SENATOR OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD
AUTHOR OF TARIFF ACT, SAYS,
INHERITED DULL TIMES WE'RE
CHANGED TO PROSPERITY.

Senator Oscar w. Underwood, the
author of the Underwood tariff act,
passed by the democratic congress,
refutes erroneous republican charges
in recent speech and gives the facts
as they are. The senator said:
81 think at this time it is well to
take stock Of the present political
conditions. It is well for us to de
fine the great principle that controls
the party in power in levying taxa
ton before we attempt to analyze
the legislation that has already been
passed BY the present administra-
ton and the legislation that will be
passed before we adjourn this con-
gress. If we sail the ship of state
true to our principles we may make
minor mistakes, but we will carry 1t
safely into port But II We compro-
mise with our principles in writing
legislation there is no telling what
dangers may confront us now and in
the future, and We abandon all justi-
fcation for our having been returned
to power four years ago.
The principle which guides the de-
mocratic party when it is writing
revenue bills has been clearly defined
in its party platform. but know Of
no clearer definition of the principle
than that which is defined in the party
platform OF 1892 when the democrats
won a great victory in the country,
and in the party platform OF 1912.
when 1t was again returned to power
by a tremendous majority in both
branches Of congress and succeeded in
regaining the presidency of the Unit
ed States. Protection was denounced
in both Of the platforms referred to.
The tariff act OF October 1913 was
written to accord with democratic
principles and to harmonic with the
doctrine that the purpose of levying
taxation was for the purpose of rails
ing revenue.

THE PALACE THEATRE BOOKS
A MOST WONDERFUL MOVING
PICTURE ON GREAT SUBJECT,
PREPAREDNESS

As the result of contract con
summated late yesterday between
Harry Lowenstein, manager OF the Pal
ace Theatre and the producers of "The
Battle Cry of Peace" that remarkable
propaganda motion picture play adyo-
eating preparedness against war will
be presented at the Palace Theatre
one day only, Monday, October 2. The
advance representative Of THE Battle
Cry of Peace" arrived in the city yes
terday seeking an engagement in Ard
more for the film for a short time at
the original New York admittance
fee of $500 for the best seats. While
fully realizing that the play Is well
within the two dollar movie class, Mr..
Lowenstein being an ardent supporter
of the Presidents preparedness policy,
urged the producers representative
that a reduction in price and an eX-
tension Of the engagement would not
only enable a larger number Of people
to see the film but would actually re-
suit in greater profits to all concerned.
II is also understood that local organi-
cations and others interested in
American preparedness urged the com
pany management to reduce the price,
promising TO lend their cooperation
in making the engagement a most sue
cessful one. The producers yielded
to the pressure with the result that
the prices for this widely heralded
50 motion picture in Ardmore will
be from 25c to S1.OO.
While thousands have seen THE
Battle Cry OF Peace" and the press
of the country has given wide edi-
torial comment to the play, 1t has
been shown in comparatively few cit
les. This is probably due to the fact
that the producers Of the film, the

The attack by the Servians on the
Bulgarians has brought them over the
Servian-Greek border. and the Ser
Wan soldiers are fighting again on
their native soil from which they
were expelled by the Teutonic advance
last year Germanys victory over the
Servians ousted from the conquered
kingdom not only the remnants of
the Servian army, which was COM
pletely routed, but also great MASSES
of the populace, who took refuge in
Greece. Now, these Servians are
awaiting the day when they may re-
turn to their native land, contingen-
cy, dependent, of course, on the sue
cess of the Servian operations against
the Bulgars. The Servian army has
been rebuilt by the allies. In the
pictures can be seen view of Monas-
tir, the city which is the principal
objective of the present Servian at
tack, and group of Servian refugees
in Saloniki awaiting repatriation.
These people have had to be support
ed by charity since they lost all when
their country was overrun.

W UP WELL IN THE OPENING GAME WITH
WORK, NOT PLAY, MAKES JACK
A BRIGHT BOY AT TENN,
Concentration of Mental and Physical EffO,4
Attention to Instructions and Constant co,,
rection of Faults Necessary to Schoolbo,.
BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN

WITH the opening matches Of the
w school tennis season only month
, away, and the actual playing season
about two weeks distant, It might pay us
to ask ourselves what one thing will bring
the quickest, surest and most lasting inn
provement in our game.
The answer is short and easy to give
WORK.
What Is included under this somewhat
general term? Do we mean purely and
solely physical labor7 No. We mean
concentration, both mental and physical,
at all times when playing tennis.
When YOU start playing this season,
start right. Correct the faults of sloppy
strokes and lazy footwork. Think your
game over and decide where your trouble
lies Then begin to work on those faults
to correct them. You alone can do that.
People may tell you where you are wrong
and show you how the error can be cor
rected but they cannot actually correct
1t for you. That you must do and do 1t
by work.
The schools this year have the services
of several prominent tennis players to
assist their students. Mr.. Paul w. Glib
bons, president of the Philadelphia and
District Lawn Tennis Association, has
kindly consented to assist West Philadel-
phia High School and Friends Central.
William r. Tilden, I'd, is now working
with Germantown Academy and Frank
ford High School and will also add Ger
mantown High, and Episcopal to these
when the season opens.
To the boys of those schools especially
Is concentration during instruction urged.
To work with these men and get all the
knowledge they can impart means work.
but It will repay both you and them for
their time and efforts. To fool away your
time and theirs is a pure waste of good
material So wherever and whenever you
are being instructed in tennis this year
work and concentrate all the time.
The clubs also have this year sue
ceeded in interesting several men In in
structng the boys. The names of these
men as yet have not been made known,
but one prominent player from Cnywyd,
Merton, Philadelphia and Mannheim Is in
charge of junior tennis at his respective
club. So let's start 1916 right and work.
Last Tuesday afternoon group of boys
from the Cynwyd Club met a certain ten
mis- player for their weekly instruction In
tennis theory The question of the rela-
tive merits of the stroke" backhand with
top and the poke" baclkhand without
came up.
The man advocated the use of the
"strolSe" baclihand and was suddenly
shocked to have one of the boys who. by

To Willard and Moran

There is at least one definite point that
Mr.. Willard and the equally Mr., Moran
should consider:
Ten thousand or twelve thousand people
are going to pay more money to see this
contest than was ever dreamed of before
regarding a 1O-round, no-decison bout.
Having paid more than double average
prices, they are going, naturally, to expect
more. And as Mr.. Willard and Mr.. Moran
are getting record-brealirg prices for
their display, 1t is strictly up to both to see
that those who made this big money pos
sible get the proper return; 1t is up to the
brace of principals, not to play 1t safe Just
to get by, but to try and earn those big
purses as far as they can.
They owe this much TO the box-flght
loving public and to the game itself-the
game that has lifted them from few
dollars day to good many thousand
dollars a minute.
The Needed Ingredient
This doesn't mean that Willard and
Moran are to shut both eyes and slam
away every second of the contest.
But II does both mean that, through
every second, each should give the best
in his stock. Not many moments can be
wasted where time is paid for at the rate
of over $4,000 minute, or over $3.50
second.
Harvard can lose football stars by the
carload; but until she loses Percy Haugh-
