SHOULDER AN AXE;
 G0 T0 THE WOODS
Is the Advice of the Fuel Adminis- tratOr, Who Is Endeavoring
 to Improve Situation.

If you want to render a real ser vice during fuel conservation period, shoulder an axe and hie to the woods, split some wood and haul it in. The business men, practically all of them, are not working longer than four hours day, and with the generous offers that have been made by those who have wooded land for public use, one has no excuse for being out of fuel. And besides a little exercise in the woods will do the average man heap of good.
 The fuel administration has urged that men take this step to replenish their piles of fuel. The sooner ev- erybody does his bit to aid the situ- ation, just that much sooner will the lid be lifted.

Associated Press Dispatch.

ASSOclaCoQ 1reSS OlSpaCcn.
 Washington, Jan. Standing by his charge that Americas military establishment is enmeshed with inef- ficiency, Senator Chamberlain, chair man of the Military Committee, to- day replied in the senate to Presi- dent Wilson's denuciation of his recent speech in New York by re- beating his statement. He declared the president himself did not know the truth. He asserted he can show that deaths of thousands at cantonments and camps are due to the war department and that "all epidemics could have been prevented if the war department had been effective" The senator declar- ed that men "who have not proven themselves up to the mark ought to be retired"
 Senator Kirby, of Arkansas, re- piled to Chamberlain. Kirby said: "I challenge the statement of it all. The examination before our commit tee did not warrant that which has been said today or the statement that the military organization has brok- en down." The Chamberlain reor- ganization bill was referred to the military committee.

Doctor Tomkins Lauds Women in
Appeal for Increase in

The Rev. DIR. Floyd w. Tomkins. rector of
Holy Trinity Church. Rlttenhouse Square, to-
day issued an appeal for higher salaries for
school teachers.
Among the noblest and best of our clti-
gems stand the teachers of our public schools"
Doctor Tomkins said. Their spirit, their
denial, their love for their work is not
equaled even in the church. They are a
select body and are doing much for the
advancement Of our country in all that is
good.
THAT such a body of men and women
should be subject to the cares of limited
support Is both unpatriotic and wrong. They
should be the best paid workers of our Com
monwealth. 1t causes tinge Of shame to
note that many cities. such as New York.

advance. '"
'-The public spirit of a community Is mani
also and chiefly in its care for the children.
The horrible cruelty to children during this
war in Europe should excite US to special
zeal in caring for our American young pev-
pie. And the teachers who are dealing with
them daily In school should claim the bes,
we can give in the way of support both
financial and moral. Let us rise to the op-
portunity afforded US to show our public
spirit our patriotism and our belief in edu-

by a unanimous vote. BY so doing We will
do credit to ourselves as citizens of no mean
State and city, and give courage to the
teachers who are doing such splendid work."

SON OF MILLIONAIRE
MINISTER TO NEGROES
The Rev. Theodore Pitcairn
breaches Doctrine of Swe-
denborg in This City

. The religious doctrines of Emanuel Swe-
denborg are being preached to the negroes
of this city by the Rev. Theodore Pitcairn
son of the late John Pitcairn, millionaire
glass manufacturer.
Mr.. Pitcairn, upon his graduation from
the Swedenborgan Seminary at Bryn Athyn
last June, resolved to become a missionary
among the negroes Of Africa. He selected
Basutoland. in British East Africa, as the
scene of his labors.
But because of the war he was unable
to obtain the necessary passports. So he
resolved to come to this city and spread the
doctrines of Swedenborg among the negro
population here.
The young missionary a few months ago
began a street-speaking campaign at Broad
and Lombard streets. He slowly built up a
following as one negro after another became
attracted by the mystic doctrines of the
Church of the New Jerusalem. His converts
rented hall, where meetings are held almost
every night. They are now planning to
erect q Swedenborgian church downtown. In
connection with ths church a school will be
established and the educational system of the
Swedenborgians will be given try-out among
the negroes of Philadelphia
Mr. Pitcairn few days ago received the
passports he tried to obtain earlier in the
year. But the local field has gripped him
too strongly. He says the work has become
so absorbing that he is going to devote all
his time to home missions
The missionary is being assisted in his
chosen work by the Rev. X. r Alden,
pastor of the Church of the New Jerusalem,
5423 Wyalusng avenue.
