FRATERNAL ORDERS
AID RED CROSS DRIVE
Beneficial Organizations Plan
United Action to Get
Members

The entry of powerful all! into the
war. for 100000 new mem, ers for tho
Red Cross in southeastern Pennsylvania
by Christmas was announced today.
/, Fraternal beneficial associations will
be organized for an important part in
the membership campaign at a meeting
of leaders of all the orders in the five
counties covered by the southeastern
Pennsylvania chapter Of the Red Cross.
Plans for a thorough canvass will be
mapped out at the meeting. which will
be held Wednesday in Grand Fraternity
Hall.
Frederick CASTOR. president of the
Grand Fraternity, who suggested the aid
of the fraternal beneficial organizations
said in part:
THE associations have wonderful
opportunity to help the drive. l am
pleased to offer a suggestion for their
work in which ] believe all the fra
ternal leaders will take part. Let a
committee. composed of representatives
all the orders, meet and describe the
methods by which every branch or lodge
can be systematically canvassed for Red
Cross membership. This could be done
through the various lodge secretaries
by special delegates named for the work.
! will get in touch with the leaders of
other fraternal beneficial orders. This
committee could have the use without
charge of the lodge rooms in the Grand
Fraternity Building.
Working together, the fraternal
forces of Pennsylvania are a mighty
host and a systematic entry in the Red
Cross drive by them could be made of
wonderful value"
The next important meeting in the
campaign will be that of delegates from
the city's most influential organizations,
at the Bellevue-Stratford. Monday af-
ternoon. At this gathering, which will
be presided over by Mrs. John White
Geary, directing the women in the cam
paign, plans will be made for rounding
up pledges as Il prelude to the aggres-
sive weeks work beginning December Z
Preparations were under way today
for the great Red Cross public meeting
! to be held in the Metropolitan Opera
House next Thursday night. Requests
for tickets are nearly swamping Red
Cross headquarters at eel South Eigh-
teenth street. Henry y. Dawson, chair
man of the war work council of the
American Red Cross. the principal
| speaker. will explain what is being done
with the Sl00.000,00O Red Cross ma
t.onal fund. Other speakers will be Ivy
| l.. Lee. his assistant, and Henry J. Allen.
! Of Wichita. Kan, who recently returned
! from the war zone. l.. Il. Stotesbury
will preside at the meeting, music for
which will be furnished by the United
| States Marine Band. Positive announce
ment was made that no collections and
pledges for money will be taken.

HARRISBURG, Dec. s.

HARRISBURG, Dec. s.
= The state Draft Bureau has re-
oeived woi. from Washington that
within the next ten days the remaining
2s.oeo. drafted men OF Pennsylvania are
expected to be In Camps Meade, Lee and
Sherman. There are $4,000 men now in
these camps from this State. and the
reason the others were not sent was
because the Government had not sum-
dent winter clothing. This condition
h Is been overcome.
Z The Camp Sherman contingent. from
Washington. Lawrence. venango and
Greene Counties. will be sent 70 camp
beginning Monday. II the railroad sched-
uie can be made out in time and the
men TO go TO Camp Meade and Camp
Lee will begiu to leave their homes the
following Monday. December II.
! The declaration of war on Austria
will present many new questions TO the
draft bureau here and at the same time
will cause I postponement CT the closing
of the work OF the first draft unless
orders are received from Washington
TO close the draft without the states
quota being filled.
The declaration of war against Aus
tria-Hungary will make citizens of the
dual monarchy alien enemies and. Of
course. bar them from serving in the
American army. Already many Aus
trians ave in the National Army, having
been sent there by local boards through
out the State.
Draft bureau officials are inclined TO
believe that all Austrians in the Ma
tional Army who are not citizens Of the
United States will be ordered discharged
by the War Department In this event,
unless orders TO the contrary are issued
places of the men thus discharged will
have TO be filled by others and many of
the local boards of the State will again
have to certify men for service.
No figures are obtanable as to just
how many Austrans are in the National
Army from this State. but II is the gem
eral belief that Pennsylvania Is leading
all other States.
The same problem, although probably
not on 30 large a scale. applies to the
Pennsylvania troops now in training in
the South. While the troops were known
as the National Guard Of Pennsylvania,
quite n few Austrians were in the ranks

BUSINESS MEN WILL
DISCUSS TRANSIT PACT
United Association to Take
Up Revised Lease at
Meeting Tuesday

The revised Smith-Mittou lease will be
the subject of DISCUSSION at the meet
ing of tho rO7 - 'i~ortorS Of the
United Business Mems Association
held Tuesday. Iu. ...., .,-....., wlll be he
at 1915 Ar. II street at = p. M.
The prediction was made today hv
Sidney Earle. chairman of the trans
portation committee of the United Bust
ness Mems Association. that the organi-
zation would be opposed to the revised
lease on the ground that il guaranteed
the company a per cent dividend. Mr..
Earle today said he had looked over
the revised lease and thought that il
was a step forward in the solution of
the plan to operate the city's unified
system.
"While the revised lease is better IN
some respects" said Mr.. Earle, Il don't
see why the city should have right to
guarantee the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company a dividend. whether 1t
be for 4, ) or per cent"
He argued that there would be no
need for the provision to increase iares
II the water" was taken out OF lhe
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.
Another prominent member OF the
United Association, who has fought for
a fair lease for the city for number
cf years, also predicted that the United
Business Mems Association would hght
the passage of the revised Smith-Mitteh
lease.
THE revised lease ais a magnificent
thing for the Philadelphia Rapid transit
Company" he said. ut is easy 10 un-
derstand why the company Is Wiling
to abolish exchange tickets when the
lease guarantees 1t o per cent di'l-
dend"
II don't think the United Business
Men will agree to such n lease with the
proyision guaranteeing the company Il
dividend. because II Is the thing we
fought against at the meetings or the
Finance and Street Railways Commit
tee.
every trolley line in the United
States and many prominent railroads In
this country would be thankful for a
lease that would guarantee them per
cent dividend. II this lease is passed II
will make the p. r.. T. stock as good as
a bond. In these wartimes everybody
has to take a chance on their pronts'
Why should the p. R. T.. with Its wa
tered stock, be mace safe when other
railroads and businesses are so uncer-
| tain as to returns on their investmentsv
He added that in his opinion the
| United Business Mems Association did
not want to hold up the settlement OF
the lease and said the transit matter
should be settled but, after all the pro-
tests against the guaranteed dividend
this feature was retained in the revision.

the Department of Transit. who fought
the original Smith-Mitten lease. said he
would not comment on the lease tod ny.

American unity.
Besides the coming tussle between

war on Turkey and Bulgaria promises
to develop another fight Senator Borah
eSpects to introduce = war resolution
