]. HAMPTON MOORE'S
FIVE SONS TO REGISTER
Philadelphia Congressman's Gen.
erous Contribution to the
Selective Army

Today, registration day, probably means
more to the family OF Congressman }.
Hampton Moore than TO any other Congress-
mans family in the United States,
For today FIVE OF the Congressman's sons
registered and they are ready TO perform
any service selected for them by their coun-
try. All of the Moore boys are physically
At two OF them are married and have de-
pendent children, and may be exempt from
military service for that reason. As far as
It is known, no other congressman in the
country has Ave boys who will register
today
The Moore boys are: Clayton It. Moore,
twenty-seven years old, Darlington. N. J. !;
Edward M. Moore, twenty-five years old,
1906 South Peach street, this city; Harvey
Moore twenty-four years old, 27l South
Fourth street; Mark NJ. Moore, twenty-three
years old Los Angles, Cal; Dorn Moore,
twenty-six years old, 27l South Fourth
street this city
The accompanying photograph of the
Moore boys was taken ten years ago, when
they were students at Nazareth Hall Mill
tary School, Nazareth, Pa, At an early age
they were imbued with the military spirit,
and they have always been full Of patrl-
otsm.
The Moore family has only one sad mem
ber today, and he is Richard Moore, fifteen
years old, the youngest member Of the
Moore group. Richard attended Nazareth
Hall Military School in 1914 and he wishes
he could put on six years right Off quick,
so he could take n hand at licking the
Germans
But this is not all the aid which Uncle
Sam is going to receive from the Moore
family. Last, but not least, is Miss Sevena
c. Moore, eighteen years old, a student nurse
at Chestnut Hill Hospital As soon as Miss
Moore completes her course at the hospital
she intends to apply for place in the
ambulance corps in France.

HUNDRED EDFAMTLES
ROUTED BY BOMB
Explosion Rocks Whole
Block and Drives Resi-
dents From Homes
MANY HOUSES DAMAGED

A bomb was exploded with terrific force
early today on the doorstep OF Joseph
Richards. at 1898 East Thompson street
The force Of the blast rocked the whole
block, scores OF windows were shattered
persons were thrown from bed and almost
hundred families were driven to the
street In their night clothing. No one was
injured The culprit escaped.
The police are making n thorough inves-
tieation Of the explosion, but have no clue
ns TO the Identity Of the dynamiter. 1t is
believed that a sugar striker, or strikers,
may have been responsible for the act, as
several men who have been working as
etrike-brealSers live nearby.
While walking his beat. Policeman
George Wills, OF the Belgrade and Clear
Held streets station, heard the explosion.
He rushed TO East Thompson street and
found the families almost tumbling out Of
their houses
II was found that the bomb had been
placed almost under the steps and along a
brick wall. Only a few bricks in the wall
were dlslodged and the pavement dented
The whole force OF the explosion was felt
across the street, where many windows
were shattered. ...
Among the houses damaged were those
