QUAKERS IN CANTONMENTS
NOT ACCEPTING PAY
Clerk of Meeting of Orthodox Friends
Representative Reports Men
Well Treated in Camp

Quakers are being well treated in the
cantonments although they have not as yet
been assigned to any duties and are not
accepting any money In the nature Of wages
from the Government, according to a report
by w. B. Harvey, clerk Of the meeting, at
the adjourned meeting of the representa-.
tives Of the Orthodox branch of the Society
Of Friends at the Meeting House at Fourth
and Arch streets, today
There is some uneasiness among these
young men at Camp Meade, however, as
they prefer to be at home serving the com.
munity, rather than simply passing their
time by reading and taking long hikes in
the country Mr.. Harvey said that the
Quakers had been unable to learn as yet
from l sident Wilson just how he con.
templated having the non-combatants serve.
While the Quaker men at the training
camps are accepting their lodging and food
from the Government, since they were
forced to go there, they are not wearing
the uniform, retaining their civilian cloth.
ing, but they refuse TO accept pay Wherever
necessary they are being supported by
Quaker funds
Strong probability that the meeting of
representatives, as such, will once more re-
vert to the original organization as "A
meeting for sufferings." took shape at the
session today. SO much of the business
before the meeting is In the nature of pro.
v'ding help for needy members and espe-
cally during this period OF war sacrifices.
that the sessions are becoming similar TO
those Of more than 100 years ago when the
meeting for sufferings' originated.
