U.S.BLO,U Can End War,
Lord Derby Asserts
Continued from PAGE One

NOntinueu from tuke oHe
game desk fought and defeated British
apathy when that effort seemed hopeless.
"Americans are quicker at some things
than the British" Lord Derby resumed after
a moment. IL believe America will get
quicker start than we dd-if the people
appreciate the size Of the job"
CAN TRAIN ARMY QUICKLY
Can the American army be trained as
rapidly as the new units of the British
army - that Is, in three months?' was
asked.
There. again. American quckness will
probably show itself" the war head re-
turned. THE fact that the British are
now able to train men in three months is
partly due to their drilling with seasoned
organizations fropyrthe front
But 7 shoobf Say that three months
training in America, plus certain amount
OF necessary training in France, would
make the fittest kind Of soldiers from en-
tirely raw material
''Tha matter Of getting a small American
contingent over here even earlier is one
which American soldiers must decide for
themselves but Il have no doubt Of the
effect II would have on the British. The
French are less stolid and II would affect
them even greater"
what about Americans on the Russian
'front.'" Lord Derby was asked.
THAT is entirely matter for American
soldiers to dec de, II certainly could not
fall to inspire the Russian people,
EFFECT ON GERMANS
There's another phase OF this question
Of moral effect about which little has been
said. and that is the effect on the German
people when America actually takes the
field Think what It means Many Ger
mans have looked 10 America as sort Of
heaven. Many have been struggling for
years I'm the hope Of emigratng there.
Now IL will seem that the gates are closed.
This effect on the Germpn people may
possibly be the most important single proof
that they are the worst victims OF the
system for which they are being slaughtered
20 defend.
mo one can question the tremendous
effect Of the first appearance Of an Amerl-
can army, however small in the fighting
fine
but, after all. that's not the main thing.
That won't end the war.
mot until America begins making war
as though she alone faced Germany will
there he a possibility of predicting when
the end will come-and ! know that is the
spirit in which the American nation Is
taking up the conflict"

Philadelphia's first detachment for the
front left today when Base Hospital No. 10,
organized by the Pennsylvania Hospital,
steamed out from the West Philadelphia
yards Of the Pennsylvania Railroad at 1918
for Jersey city.
Laden with six months supplies and ready
for any medical duty the 245 men and
women comprising the hospital corps left
amid "A farewell as noisy and tearlul as
1900 friends and relatives could make IT,
There was something different about the
farewell, not only becal Sc this was the
first marty to leave for active service on
the western front. but because Of the
prominence OF many Of the men attached
to the hospital.
There was Or Richard H. Harte-Major

"War Brides"

Some excellent educational pictures
are being presented by the management
of the riverside Theatre. The last to be
announced is Herbert Brenon's "War
Brides" in which Nazimova, the great
Russian tragedienne, will he the star.
''Shall love be sacrificed upon the ALTA
of imperial greed for power 2" is the great
question pointedly asked in the pictures.
No attempt is made to teach or preach.
The scenes simply tell the story aud let
the moral, if there be any, take care OF
itself. But the constant clashes between
the individual aud the state makes the
problem obvious. The story deals with
the Wal brides incidents which took place
IN certain European countries at the out
set OF the present war, but the play deals
less with war, than with its effect upon the
homes and the loved ones left behind. Ii
shows no battle scenes, yet its tragedies
are as great as those OF the trenches. War
Brides will be shown next Tuesday at the
Riverside. Two performances in the ave.
ning and two matinees.

He Paid His Fine

For violating Section % of the Sanitary
Code of Penns Grove Borough George
Liskey was recently fined $l2 and COSTS.
After time allowed for appeal he refused
to pay and execution papers were issued
aud Liskey was delivered to the keeper
of the county Jail. After occupying q
cell for a short time he concluded to pay
the fine and was thereupon released.
The Board of Health of this Borough
has been very lenient with persons who
fail to comply with the provisions of the
Sanitary Code. This case is All example
of the extent to which Board of Health
laws can be prosecuted, and should be a
warning to citizens OF the Borough not to
exhaust nor impose upon the patience and
leniency Of the Board of Health, but in
stead comply with its requests and COM
mauds.
If the present Board of Health had not
changed the fines in the Sanitary Code
last year Leskey would have had to pay a
fine Of $50 and costs. All the Board de-
sires is to have the people become ed
ucated to the new necessities OF the sani-
tary laws for healthful living, not to rob
them with heavy fines.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they >eanno,
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
DEAFNESS is caused by an inaamed condi-
uon OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
nearing, and when it is entirely closed.
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
