The time for sacrifice is here. Let us
wake up to that fact. Let us get ready
to give up our dollars as freely as our
sons and brothers will, give up their
lives for the cause of human liberty.
The greatest failing of the American
people to day is that they cannot real
ize the days of peace and plenty and un-
inte rupted pleasure seeking are at an
end for the present and that we stand
face to face with a situation that threat
ems national destruction in case we fail
in any large sense to do our duty.

The Prussian military autocracy is
composed of the most diaboic and
constituencies bunch of criminals this
world. has ever known. To their
supremacy may be charged not only
the slaughter of millions of men but
the starvation of hundreds of thou
sands of helpless women and children.
The latest report of their moral vacu-
ity is that they boil the dead bodies of
their own heroic soldiers in order to
obtain grease for their ammunition
makers, the bones being reduced to
fertilizer and used like common barn
yard manure. If they win in this war
not only will liberty and civilization
perish, but the world will be plunged
into state of callous barbarity the
like of which history does not record
in any comparable degree Contrast
ed with these monsters who have
made wholesale murder a science,
who coolly and methodically calcu-
late upon the personal advantages
that will accrue from the starvation of
babes, who drop death dealing bombs
upon defenseless cities, the cannibal
barbarian is civilized Christian
gentleman If there is a hell and
these beings are of a sufficiently high
order of creation to entitle them to
special quarters consist
ent with their utter depravity, which
must have been undreamed of, even in
he'll, will have to be prepared for
them

Success of U Boats Not
Fatal to Allies Cause
By Associaied Press

Washington, May 3.-While mem
bers of the entente missions share
the alarm of American officials at the
growing inroads of the submarine
menace, they do not regard the stu
alton as in any sense fatal. It means
in their view, a period of very great
self-denial and further restrictions
but they do not credit in the least
any opinion that II is certain to lead
to starvation or the loss of the war.
They are counting on ships, men and
money from the United States and
possibly American inventive genius
to outweigh the U-boat terror.
Critical as the allied situation is
made to appear, allied diplomats saw.
1t is as nothing to the insuperabie
difficulties of Germany almost en-
tirely hidden under the censorship.

Market Square Church
Extensions Considered;
Acquiring Properties

The Market Square Presbyterian
Church congregation to-day took
over the properties at ia. 116 and
11S Chestnut street, owned by John
Fox Weiss. Mrs. Elmira Brandt and
John +. Hutchison, respectively. The
total consideration was more than
$4,000.
1t is understood that extensive de-
velopments are planned by the
church in the way of providing ad-
ditional accommodations for the ra-
pidly increasing congregation. The
main auditorium and Sunday school
departments are already crowded
during the services, and it is probable
action will be taken in the near fu-
ture relative to extensions as the
Chestnut street properties adjoin the
south side of the church. While no
definite plans have been made one
of the possible means which may be
decided upon for extension may in
clude the erection of a large struc-
ture to provide facilities for the Sun
day school together with large rooms
for other church activities.

BRITISH SEEK
MEANS TO END
U-BOAT MENACE
Aid From United States Is
Needed to Save Allies
From Trouble
BY .Associated Prcss


Washington, May 3.-That the
submarine menace and ways to COM
bat it by increased shipping, freight
selection and naval cooperation, is
the main interest of the British
mission, became certain to-day from
many different sources. The issue
was focused by Premier Lloyd
Georges statement in parliament re-
Gently that the need was for ships
and still more ships; Lord Percy's
explanation here that destruction
was outrunning construction; and
declarations of Secretaries Lansing
and Lane that the submarine situa-
ton is grave.
1t is now evident that other mat
ters before the British commission,
however vital, are being subordinat-
ed.
The British naval officers in COM
ing to this country hoped to get a
considerable number of small boats
to use as submarine chasers, but
they have been disappointed to dis
cover that the few available are
needed here. The British shipping

couragement in the emergency ef-
forts of the shipping board and the
availability of many German ships.
Proposed curtailment of nom
essential freight now being carried
to Europe would give increased tom
mage for necessary supplies. The
American government has agreed
not only to restrict imports, as the
British already do, but. to impose
export restrictions, authorized by the
bill now pending in Congress.
One of the greatest uncertainties
of the situation is a total ignorance
of the number of U-boats Germany
is building. Admiral De Chair has
estimated this at two or three a
week, but many officials here be-
lieve it possible, to turn out many
more on standard plans.

ASH CONDITIONS
UNEQUALED IN
CITY'S HISTORY
Accumulation of Refuse Pill
ing Up For Months Litters
Vacant Lots

Conditions unequaled for years in
the history of the city exist in many
districts because of the accumula-
tlon of ashes during the last five
nlonths,-a result of the failure of
city officials to enforce the provisions
or the contract with the Pennsylva-
MIA Reduction Company.
Backyards piled full of boxes, cans,
cardboard cartons, tubs, barrels and
any other kind of receptacle; piles of
ashes and other refuse on vacant lots
are evidence of the lack of collec-
tions.
For months relief has been prom
ised the residents but the only pros
pect OF this is the announcement of
cleanup week campaign
Recently Commissioner e. 2. Gross
requested postcard complaints re-
porting noncoliection of ashes for
two weeks or more.
More than 215 of these were re-
ceived and n penalty of SLOTS has
been imposed on the Reduction Com
pany Failure. however, earlier in
the year, to get results and enforce
regular collections has resulted in
conditions which are unparalleled
since the present contract began, al
most ten years ago.
Even dCl'pH On the proposed sur
vey to prevent a repetition of con-
ditlons next year has been delayed
Commissioner Gross finding on Tues
day that he cou1d not award a con-
tract for this work until money had
been appropriated by ordinance for
it.
Vacant Lots Piled High
Many of the residents, unable to
obtain receptacles for ashes. piled
them up in their cellars and with
spring housecleaning on. have re-
moved them to backwards. Vacant
lots have been utilized in many in
stances and now are piled full OF
tincans, loose paper, ashes and other
waste.
Other persons, finding that despite
Commissioner Cross various ultima
tums to the Reduction Company no
regular collections had been resumed
earlier in the year, paid private COL
lectors to haul away the accumula-
ton which resulted.
Commissioner Gross announced to-
day that he has notified the company
OF the $1,075 penalty, based on the
215 complaints. lie also stated he
would again ask for complaints with
in the next two weeks If the COM
pany failed toN maintain a regular
weekly schedule in all parts of the
city.
Hopes for removal of ashes accum-
ulated during the last few months
have been shattered and residents
now are looking forward to clean
up week" as the only possible way to
get rid of the refuse.
