Looking backward wistfully 70 the

D. To be seventy-four. alone, I'M
able to work any longer and to have
before her nothing but "home for
aged and destitute" IS the condition
that old Anna is pathetically trying to
overcome. After being energetic and
Independent all her life, interested IN
the problems and lives Of her neigh
bors and nursing her invalid boy TO
the end. the thought Of ending her days
in an institution has dreadful hopeless
ness that she cannot overcome.
Old Anna took her problems 70 the
Charity Organization Society. asking
what could she do to live her own life
a little longer. A plan has been made
for her TO lodge people for a nearby
employment agency, and the old soul
proudly demonstrates that IL keeps
her from starving. But her rent is the
rock in her path that she cannot get
around. The society asks for contribu-
tions toward the sum Of sl20, which
will keep Anna for many months in the
little rooms which have been her home
so long. Gifts should be sent 70 the

That the friends Of the fund are hard
AZ work helping to get the children
away before II is too late is evident
n ON the list Of contributions received
bv the fund yesterday. At the head OF
the list stands one of the funds oldest
ard most generous supporters, the vii
LACE of Quogue, L. I. Each year this
loyal friend of the fund takes public
subscription for the benefit OF the chill
dren which usually amounts to about
$500.
Quogue's Gift Doubled
This wear the leader of the move
ment, Miss Lizzie Van Boskerck, feared
that because Of the war the village git
would not be as large as usual, and IN
a letter telling of the beginning OF the
annual campaign for contributions she
warned the fund not 10 expect more
than 5000. But in this case, as in some
others this season, the effect OF the
war was the opposite OF the appre-
hended one, and Quogue's gift to the
vacation cause Is almost twice the sum
the fund was told 10 expect.
Other communities are hard at work
missing funds with which TO provide for
the remaining 5000 children. One of
these is Rutland, VT No intimation
has been received of the size the con-
tribution will reach. but IL will be gen.
erous-Rutland's help in the Fresh Air
campaign always Is.
Another community gift Is to come
from Hudson and Claverack, n. Y. This
will also be n generous one. Strouds-
burg, Penn, has been more definite in
it's assurance Of support, having prom
ised 500. through a committee Of
women Of the place.
Despite yesterdays generous con-
tributions, however, much more money

Jerusalem Made
Impregnable to
Frontal Attack
Only Flank Move Will
Take City From Turks,
Say Missionaries !,

jerusalem, one Of the detectives Of
the British campaign in Palestine, is
now a strongly fortified city, protected
by modern armament, and its Turkish
defenders, Offered by Germans Of high
command, have prepared q defence
which, to be overcome, will require an
effort on a parity with the trench cam
paign in Flanders, according 20 mis-
sionaries here this week from Turkey
and surrounding mission fields.
One Of the party, who for number
Of years has been in charge Of the
work of foreign mission board at q
city in Palestine, asserted that in his
opinion, Jerusalem could never be
taken by a frontal attack, and could
by conquered only by extensive flank
ing operations. This defence Of the
Turks, he said, has been prepared with
every ingenuity of the German mill
tary mind, and it has been under way
since January.
an December, or even January" he
declared, "the city could have been
taken with ease by q single army
corps
The Turks, however, as well as their
German allies to the north Of the city,
are not being allowed to rest in peace,
he added, but are being continually
subjected to air raids from the Brit
ish camp.
Reports that have gone forth from
German sources that the British are
destroying sacred and historical relics
on Mount Olivet are inspired props-
ganda,' he said. THE historical
mountain has been subjected TO aerial
bomb attack, but nothing of value to
Christianity has been destroyed, for
the reason that there is nothing there
of that nature, aside from the noun
tain, to destroy"
The missionaries asserted that there
are both plenty and starvation in Tur-
key--the army officers have the for
mer and the people have the latter
but such is the hold that the military
authorities have that the people dare
not rebel.
"As regards the war, the Turkish
forces seem to be we'll established and
able to hold their own for a consid-
cradle time to come" the spokesman
continued. "The Turkish army has
constantly been underestimate, and, as
a consequence, failures have resulted
to the Allies The fact that the peo-
pie Of the country are starving will
not make the slightest difference to
the government in prosecuting the
war.
Would Turkey be willing to con-
clude a separate peace? She is in the
condition of a man holding a live
wire-she would like to let go, but she
can't. In spite of ELUSIVE journals
tic declarations, Germany is undoubt-
eddy the least loved country by the
Turks"

Check on Speed Maniacs

An active effort to rid the city OF
dangerous automobile operators by the
use Of the new law permitting the revo-
cation of both chsuffeur's and owner $
licenses, at the discretion Of the magis-

This conclusion was reached at con-
ference yesterday in the chambers OF
the Traffic Court by Secretary of State
Francis NJ. Hugo, City Magistrate Fred
erick B. House, presiding magistrate IN
the Traffic Court, and Deputy Police
Commissioner Frank A. Lord.
Under the new law the magistrate
has considerable power in deciding
whether an operators license is to be

Donald B. Macmillan, head OF the
Croker Land Arctic expedition, and
the three companions who have faced
death with him many times during the
last four years. are safe. They are
bound for home on the rescue ship
Neptune, commanded by Captain Rob-
ert Bartlett, commander Of Admiral
Peary's North Pole expedition. 1t is
probable that they will reach New York
early in September.
They found no Croker Land, but in
their failure achieved greater success
They briag with them what, 1t is be-
lieved, will prove TO be one Of the most
valuable contributions to science and
history ever made by single expedi-
ton.
Although word of the safety Of the
party has been brought back from
time TO time by returning members OF
the expedition, a message to Professor
Henry Fairfield Osborne, president OF
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, signed by the explorer. Is the
first direct communication that has
been had with him. The massage, sent
from the Neptune by way of Makovick,
Labrador, and Fogo, Newfoundland,
read:
"All well-every one and every thing
on board. Hovey left Disco by hand
sledge in July. Ice very heavy Mel
vile Bay. Captain Bob did fine work.
Probably proceed to st. Johns"
Three Relief Expeditions
II is probable that no Arctic expedi-
ton ever proved more costly from
purely financial STANDPOINT; Inc eX-
plorers lost the first vessel on which
thew left New York on the rocks off
Barge Point, Labrador, and were forced
to abandon their second vessel In the
GREAT ice foes of the Northern waters.
Three relief expeditions were sent TO
the Arctic before Macmillan was res
cued. ,., -. ~
York Harbor on July 2, 1918. The
urinary object was to search for the
land reported by Admiral Peary IS hav-
ing been seen but not explored on his
expedition to the North Pole in 1906.
After the loss Of the sealer Diana, on
which the party started, the entire out
fl Of the explorers was transferred TO
the steamer Erik and the remainder OF
the trip to Etah, Greenland, was accom-
plished in safety.

The Hippodrome show came back
last night, not so changed as to be be-
yond all recognition, but still sufficient
ly varied to continue the promise OF
drawing to it people who like to see
quarter of the whole horizon used
as a stage. The Hippodrome show is
not merely an entertainment; it is also
habit. There are always bound to be
just so many battaTions of girls, just
so many squadrons Of elephants
horses, and what FOR lack of better
name must be called the Nat Wills
brand Of chorus man. As such, the
| show that took the AR last highland
the water as well-did not differ from
those that have gone before. It is
what is added to this vast foundation
that keeps the Hippodrome show inter
esting, and, impossible thought it may
sound, last night added several new
methods of handling the vast and COM
pick machinery that makes the Hippo
drome unique among playhouses.
Mr.. Dillingham; and Mr.. Burnside
have assumed new roles this season.
There are spots in the new show where
cheerfulness has TO be taken for
granted, but on the whole, "Cheer Up"
is title that the three new acts fairly
justify. And even if "Poor Butterfly
has gone so completely as not to leave
even a shadow behind here, the two
gentlemen who Wrote the music and
lyrics have not been unmindful of the
opportunities the military situation
| offers. "Cheer Up, Liza" with the sew
! eral thousand persons who compose the
Hippodrome, marching across the stage
in olive drab, is the result.
After that lifted curtain discloses
transport loaded with soldiers, with
the Lower Bay and the Statue Of Lib
erty in the distance. There are many
scenes with flags, and just before the
water spectacle the entire stage is sur
rounded by a semi-circular curtain
made of the Allied colors. The water
spectacle itself is ingenious and divert
ing, with a kind of Luna Park az the
BACKGROUND, anu QlNlHB holsV anu W.
ing maidens taking turns from the
springboards. But the most interesting
spectacle Of an evening devoted to spec
tacles is "The Land of Liberty" a
march Of all the historic characters OF
America, beginning with Columbus and
ending with several recent Presidents.
AS for the humor. it is not always
unfamiliar, with here and there a
sparkle to relieve the tedium OF the
Ford joke and its near relations. Nat
Wills, whose chief accomplishment IS
the art of conversation SO every one
within a block can hear, leads of,
capably assisted by Fred Walton
whose pantomime as the toy soldier IS
the first touch of delicate humor OF
the evening, and probably the only
kind the Hippodrome can put to use.
The power Of pantomime as a means
Of reaching an audience too widely
flung to always hear correctly is illus
trated again by Butch Landorf. anoth-
err tramp comedian, probably the funni-
est clown New York has seen for many
days.
Raymond Hubbell led the orchestra.

Suffrage Pickets
Renew the Siege;
Six Arrested
White House Sentries Are
Given Short Shrift
by Police
fsrecin CnrnrpondsncAl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-For brief
period to-day six suffrage banners were
held aloft at the east gate Of the White
House. Then the police charged and
placed the pickets under arrest.
The women arrested were Mrs. Paul
inc Adams, OF Norfolk, Va; Mrs. Ger

released for their appearance in police
court tomorrow morning on the charge
Of obstructing traffic.
The two banners read: 81 tell you
solemnly. ladies and gentlemen, we can
not postpone justice any longer in this
United States (preelection speech by
Woodrow Wilson October 80, l9l7)."
And:
81 don't wish to sit down and let any
mar take care of me without my hav-
ing at least a vote in IL; and if he
doesn't listen to my advice | am going
to make it as unpleasant for him as |
can" (Woodrow Wilson, in THE New

Mcmillan Party Rescued
After Four Years in Arctic
Explorer and Three Remaining Companions Aboard the
Neptune, Third Relief Ship, After Unsuccessful
Quest for Croker Land

party started across land to Cape
Thomas Hubbard, from which point
Admiral Peary had reported that ne
had seen hitherto undiscovered land In
the frozen seas. After cachlng a
quantity Of provisions st Cape Thomas
Hubbard, the party finally began the
long sledge trip across the ice tlelds.
The daring men pushed ahead for l3O
miles and then reluctantly gave UP
their quest, convinced that Croker
Land had never been more than MIR
age. The return to Etah was made IN
the winter of l9l4-15 and then Mac
MILAN determined 70 devote at least a
year 70 geological and glacial research
work.
Finished Trip on Sledges
II was at this time that the first re,
lief expedition started north. Headed
by DR.. Edmund Otis Hovey, curator OF
geology in the American Museum, the
party sailed on the steamer George g.
Cluett in 1918. After reaching North
Star Bay in September of the same
year the ice prevented further progress.
and DR.. Hovey made the remainder or
the Journey 70 Etah, O distance OF 100
miles, by motor boat and sledges.
A second relief steamer started north
in 1915, but could not go beyond Mel
VILE Bay because of the ice. The third
expedition started early last month
from St. Johns. The message from the
returning explorer tells Of its success,
and its arrival at ST. Johns is expected
daily.
OF the original members Of the ex-
petition which sailed away from New
York in 1918 only three remained with
their leader throughout the four years.
They are Captain George B. Conner,
ice pilot and scientist; Jonathan
Small, marine engineer in charge Of the
vessel and soundings. and W. Elmer
Ekblaw, geologist. All the others at
one time or another were sent back,
either with messages of reinsurance or
to summon the assistance that was so
often needed.
The last of the original expedition to
attempt TO force his way out of the ice
prison in which they were living was
Mr. Ekblaw, but he was overcome on
the southern Greenland coast, and from
the fact that his name is mentioned as
being on board the Neptune it Is as
sumed that he must have been rescued
by the steamer, either on the trip
north or on her return.
OF all the incidents Of individual
heroism connected with the expedition
none equals that of DR.. Hovey, who
took three companions in January,
1915, and started on a 1,500-mile sled
journey across Melville Bay to South
Greenland in an effort to send out news
of the party and secure a relief ship.
