P.R.R. DOESN'T PROFIT
ON LIBERTY BONDS

James F. Fahnestock. treasurer OF the
Pennsylvania railroad, Eastern Lines.
today authorized the following state
ment:
Some remarks attributed to a labor
organizer in a recent address before
railroad shopmen at Altoona, Pa,
created the false misleading impression
that the Pennsylvania railroad, or banks
with which II does business, profits
in some way through the adjustment
OF interest on Liberty Bonds purchased
by employees on the instalment plan.
There is absolutely no foundation or
warrant whatever for such inference.
The rate OF interest charged the en-
ployes is the same as that which the
Bond bears. while, as a matter OF fact,
the company is now paying a higher
rate OF interest for carrying the Bonds
than the Bonds bear.
1T Is true that the employe. in many
cases, makes a small cash settlement,
for accrued interest, upon the delivery
OF the Bond. When this happens II is
because the next coupon attached 10
the Bond is for interest due at a f1-
ture date and therefore Is for a larger
amount than the interest accrued at
the time OF making the last payment.
When that coupon falls due, the sub
scriber will get back all OF the accrued
interest upon collection OF his cou-
pom.
For instance. II a subscriber makes
full payment on July IS and pays the
accrued interest 20 July IS. he gets a
Bond with the November IS coupon at
tached and when no collects that cou-
pon he gets back the accrued interest
which he had paid up 20 July IS.
The entire method OF interest ad-
justments is fair and equitable and
In no possible way results in any
gain TO the railroad"

TO OPEN EIGHT NEW
PUBLIC PLAY SPOTS

The State Council Of National De-
fense has become a summer santa Claus
20 the young folks OF Wilmington by
presenting them with eight new pub
liO Fairgrounds and with open play
grounds In the evening.
The members OF the Council were
impressed with the fact that many
children had to walk a long way TO
get 20 a playground, and were play
ing on a dirty. dusty sidewalk or In
dlriier and more dangerous street. The
ball games were breaking windows as
well as city ordinances. but the children
had TO play somewhere.
A favorite sport with hundreds OF
city children who were playing in the
streets was TO dare each other to run
across the street In front OF an ap-
preaching automobile.
Another factor IN the playground sit
nation that has come up this year Is
what 70 do with older children who
are working during the summer. and
have nothing by way OF evening recrea-
ton except 10 stand around on down
town street corner.
The members OF the Council OF De-
fense sympathized with the young peo-
ple and went around among their
friends and Eeighbors, and secured by
private subscriptions enough money 70
do all the things the playground direc-
tors lave wanted TO do for years past.
Five locations have been chosen for
the new Fairgrounds, three remaining
10 be selected. There will be grounds
opened az Brown Park, Browntown;
Clayton Park, Third and dupont streets;
Grant Park, Fifth street and Grant
avenue; Stapler Park, Sixteenth and
Union streets. and at Twenty-fourth
and Tatnall streets. There VIII be
supervisors Of play in all these grounds
Ten men teachers are wanted I'M
medlately for evening work, and ten
women teachers for afternoon and
evenine work. Applicants should have
some teaching experience and knowl-
edge OF athletics, and be able TO control
voun9 peeple. Those desirous and Will
ING to take one Of these positions
should apply 10 Edward R. Mack, Park
Engineer, Room No. 377. third floor OF
tbe CITY Building, or 10 Miss Jennie Nj.
Weaver. Playground Director, No. 40
Lincoln street, D. and A. Phone No.
2509-W.
The playground directors are greatly
pleased over the opportunity to keep
the Fairgrounds open in the evening
for older boys and girls working
through the day. They will plan tennis
matches. and other athletic events
under the training Of efficient instruc-
tors. 10 give a good time and healthy
recreation to all who come.

Poles Are Embittered BY
NelU Diuision of Territory

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 16-Polish Par
llamentarans are embittered against
Austria. says the "Lokal Anzeiger,' of
Berlin, because, in addition to LOSING
Cholm, Poland will not include all Of
the Polish territory in Russia. LODI
and Dombroyitza are severed from
Poland, and the Poles are refused ac-
cess to the sea, the newspaper adds.
In discussing the latest Ukrainian-
Polish developments, the "Vorwarts, /"
of Berlin, Socialist organ. says:
"The fine days Of German-Polish
friendship are past, and its place has
been taken by something quite new,
namely, German Ukrainian com
munity of interest, as opposed to
Polish aspirations. But the gradual
progress of worlds history may again
alter the outlook in the East Even
were there semblance of voluntary
leaning on the part of Poland towal d
the Central Powers. it will now no
longer be attainable. The project of
an Austro- Polish solution of the sit
uation is floating down the Vistula.
May not also plans for dukedom of
Lithuania and Courland also vanish

Final Decree Entered
In Steamer Appam Case

A final decree has been filed in the
Federal Court in Norfolk. says "The
Christian Science Monitor,'' in the case
of the British steamship Appam
which was captured in the Atlantic by
the German raider Moewe and brought
to Hampton Roads by Lieutenant Hans
Berg and German prize crew. The
court had previously awarded the ship
and her cargo to the owners, the Brit
ish and African Steamship Company,
and this final action disposes OF the
litigation.
The court ordered that the costs OF
the case, totalling S4447.55. be deduct
ed from the residue of funds belonging
to Berg and the imperial German
government, consisting of cash capt
ured on the Appam and moneys de-
posted with the court during the liti
cation. This sum, S327 1886, less the
costs. was ordered placed to the credit
of the alien property custodian.
SiXty-two notes of the imperial Ger
man government, aggregating 81,
900. given as security III the case, also
were ordered turned over to the alien
property custodian. No liability is
held against tho notes, the court said
as the cash to the credit of the de-
PENDANT was sufficient to cover all
costs and damages.
