U. 5. ARCH IN PARIS URGED
Rodman Wanamaker's Suggestion
Indorsed by French Here

Suggestion OF Rodman Wanamaker
that an arch OF liberty be erected in
Paris by Americans is receiving strong
Endorsement here among members of the
French colony.
It's an admirable idea" said Dr. c.
F., DEM Sajous 2O43 Walnut street
Anything that will sustain the immense
affection that France has for this coun-
try, and which will remind the French
people of that affection, will be of dis
tinct benefit to both countries
THE arch OF liberty will be a re-
mlnder OF a civilization vastly different
from the kultur which the Germans
tried to force upon the world but failed" !"
Mr.. Wanamaker's suggestion provides
for the erection OF the arch at the Place
de la Concorde entrance to the Champs
Elysee "as a symbol Of the sacrifices
made by both countries on the altar Of
freedom" He proposes that Il be
erected, with the permission OF the
French Government. by Americans in
France. with the assistance OF their
countrymen In America.

than Harry Morris when he was in
formed by the police today that a pile

found in his home at Brown and Brook

That's certainly queer" said Morris
as he stared at Magistrate Harris at the
Thirty second street and Woodland ave-
nue. station. II wonder how it could
have happened" was the only explana-
ton he offered.
The magistrate said he was also non
Diussed. Perhaps" said the magistrate,
dropped the goods from his airpiane and
they aCCidently blew In your window
But until we can verify that l will hold
you in 5000 bail for court"
The goods, according to the police,
were stolen from cars on the Pennsyl-
Nania railroad by Morris. who Is a

SMALL WHEAT CROP.
Delaware's Outlook in This Behalf Not
Promising Mt This Time.


According TO Secretary Wesley Webb
of the State Board of Agriculture, the
wheat crop in Delaware is not going to
e as large as had been hoped for.
While there was ten per cent increase
acreage of wheat planted last fall,
III acreage being harvested is about the
ame as for last year planted in the autumn
of 1916, as many growers abandoned the
wheat crops rs much of it was frozen last
spring.
