Three Philadelphians have been ap-
pointed members, of the special commit
tee headed by former President Taft to

out the country in honor of Frances ma
tional holiday. They are George Wha,
ton Pepper, attorney and head of the

Announcement of the nationwide
plans to celebrate the fall of the Bastile
have been sent out by owen johnson,
active chairman of the committee. All
such affairs are planned for July Is,
one day after the date of the holiday,
which comes on Sunday. The central
committee of the French colony here de-
cided to stage the local celebration on
Saturday, July 13. Details of the af-
fair have not been arranged as yet by
the members of the Philadelphia body,
according to DR.. Ernest La Place, chair
man of that committee.
Several meetings will be held soon to
lay plans for the festivities. 1t is pos

SHIP PROGRAM VIES
WITH CUPID'S PLANS
Two Favorite Picturesque
Trysting Places in Gloucester
Are No More

Shipbuiding to defeat the Germans
has placed a temporary setback to Gu
p'd's operations in the city of Glouces-
ter and the stricken. youths and lassies
who were accustomed to take wistful
gazes at the moon from the setting of
the Essex street bridge and the King
street hill have been forced to find other
haunts.
The Essex street bridge. which was
known throughout the community as a
'favorite spot" has been closed because
of the recent building operations under
way to furnish the shipworkers with
homes. More than 1000 houses will be
erected on a site at the edge of the
bridge.
When Miss Spooner and youthful Mr..
Spooner reached the bridge last evening
they found several long planks barring
their progress, on which was suspended
red light. A patrolman and watch
men stood conversing at the old spoc
and the entire setting was nix for
Cupid's labors.
A new plant of the New York Ship
building Company is now being coi.-
structed on another spooning spot-the
King street hill. Banging of hammers.
and crashing of boards and steel gir-
ders offered anything but a suitable
place for spooners.
Highland Park, the remaining trystng
place of the city, was crowded last
night because of the breakdown in the
love. program and benches and other
resting places were soon at premium.

GETTING OFF THE THRONE.

London expresses considerable uneaSmesS
over the repetitious character OF the assertion
that William Hohenzollern had not abdicated
because his abdication had never been published
and because it has been pointed out that he had
publicly stated merely that he intended TO aool'
cate"
Every movement of the old German govern
n1ent and all those in any manner IN authority
has been so characterized by deception, dupilcltS
and fraud since the beginning of the war thar 1t
is natural that every act leading up to the peace
settlement should be searchingly studied. Trick
erv and artful cozenage may be expected TO
thrive in soil so saturated with deception and it
is not surprising that fear has been expressed
that the ex-kaiser comfortably housed in his Hol-
land palace was busiy engaged in Matching up 8
revolutionary movement which would be
launched at some auspicious moment after the
revolutionary storm had blown over.
No one knows what the cowardly Hohenzoi-
1ern who skunk away to cover at the first sign OF
danger to his own precious skin, might be eN
pected to do. His grandfather while on the Ger
man throne ran away under cover Of darkness,
deserted his people and finally succeeded in get
ting back into power. SO precedent has possibly
set notion in the back of the eX-kaiserss head
which might inspire him to try to regain his
former position.
But there is too much to be said on the other
side to incline one toward great uneasiness ove-
these reports.
In the first place the Peace Conference is not
going to be made up of little boys. The best
brains in the world will sit at that table We
have no fear that an egotlstcal, shailow-mndei
