lections and an address on the theme
Humility versus the Megaphone" or
Becoming Respect to Others" If we
would live ~peaceably in the home We
need to have regard to those who
share the home with us and we also
need due appreciation of the place
they occupy and the work they do.
This same principle applies to cont
munities and nations. The old idea
that the husband and father is the
head of the house has been exploded.
In like n the idea that one man
has a right to sit on the top seat in
the community or the nation is an
idea that obtains among fools. Let
us throw away our megaphones and
speak kindly II to another in bro
therly love- A cordial invitation is
extended to all of our services.

PLAN FEWER TROLLEY RUNS
Reduction in Number of Cars
Per Hour Being Considered

The State fuel administration is con-
sidering suggestion to reduce the
number of trolley cars an hour during
certain off hours throughout Pennsyl-
vania.
1t was stated by L. L. Cole, assistant
to Fuel Administrator Potter, that the
plan advanced by New York transit in
terests that all service be stopped be-
tween midnight and Il. m. was out of
the question for Philadelphia or for any
section of the state.
There are too many night workers
for this suggestion to be feasible in
Pennsylvania" Mr.. Cole said. but as
for cutting down the number of car runs,
investigation has shown that where cars
ran eleven minutes apart the commu-
nifty would be served just as well by
running them fifteen minutes apart. In
Jther cases where cars are run at seven
minute intervals during slack periods,
10 one would be greatly inconvenienced
# the cars were operated at ten-minute
intervals"

Those Past As but Not 40
Must Register for Draft

An explanation of the new draft
law, which is of importance to men
past forty-five years of age, but
not yet forty-six, has been made by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
1t follows:
For the purpose of clearing up
uncertainty which seems. 10 exist
among some of the older men in
volved in the extension in the draft
ages to include men between
eighteen and forty-five, both inclu-
sive, the following statement is
made:
"A man is considered to be in
cluded within the new age limits
unless on or before registration
day, September 12, he reached his
forty-sixth birthday. If his age is
forty-five years and 364 days on
September 12, he must register.
THE minimum age limit OF
eighteen years, on the other hand,
is intended to include any young
man. who. on or before September
~, shall have reached his eigh.

the negligence which was explained as
Clerical error"
The chief complaint against the APP
peal heard was the attitude which it
had taken regarding classification mat
ters, according to Mr.. Dwyer although
overruled by Provost Marshal General
Crowder Some cases were considered
so irregular that they were presented
to the special Federal Grand Jury,
which is now probing the board
The members of Appeal Board No. 2
who cease as draft officials today are
Walter Willard. chairman, lawyer in
this city; DR.. Frank c. Hammond,
prominent physician. who is said to have
been opposed to many of the actions
of the board; James b. Mcdonald. Al
eXander Lawrence and Charles Lafferty.
When news of the abolition of the
board was made known to Mr.. Dwyer he
issued the following statement:
THE action taken by the Provost
Marshal General after lengthy investi-
Catiom, Is my answer to those persons
making a fight FOR exact justice in en-
forcing. the draft regulations.
s1'fhe action Is no surprise to me. The
members Of District Appeal Board No.
. have from the beginning grossly vio-
lated regulations Their purpose has
been to halt, rather than help. the speedy
raising of an army.
-.-. Alleged "Pull" Was Used
"In many cases in our district, men
who had pull enough to reach one or
more members Of the board succeeded in
being held out Of the army, thus forcing
other men to go to the firlng line out OF
turn.
..Ths was not due to any so-caled
clerical errors, as the evidence shows
that in almost every instance where this
occurred, the men favored were Of social
or financial standing that permitted
them to reach board members, contrary
to regulations"

advised him that department was re-
sponsble.
Senator johnson, of California. do
clared the New Lork roundup was con-
Quoted for the purpose of spreading
terrorism" which would never he en-
pected to occur in a republic, but only
in country like Germany. This ter
rorism." he added, "is the same sort
that makes it impossible for the news
papers of this land to print what they
desire and to permit a man to say
from the platform what he WHAT'S to
say"
Many of the metf taken into custody
in New York, Senator johnson asserted
were arrested simply because they
looked as though they might bc within
the draft age. and although that was
the only crime charged against them
they were held for hours by the authori-
ties
Senator johnson declared the only
place throughout this country where lib
erty of speech exists Is on the floor of
the United States Senate and as long
as he was member ohe intended to
protest every time ''militarIsm runs ram
pant"
Compared With German Incident
Senator Sherman, of Illinois, asked
Senator Johnson If the writ of habeas
corpus had been suspended and the
California Senator replied that in the
draft raids, that and every other writ
had been ignored
rs this one of the ways of making
the world and the United States of
America safe for democracy" Senator
Sherman inquired.
Replying, Senator Johnson said that
while he knew Senator Sherman was
among those disturbed over socialistic
ventures he, himself, was not so dis
turbed over material things" as those
affecting personal rights
The discussion ended with recital by
Senator Sherman of the alleged Incl
dent in Germany before the war in
which a German officer was court mar
tailed for stabbing a citizen who failed
to get off a sidewalk
rs there any material difference"
Senator Sherman asked, between this
miltarsm and Kaisersm in Berlin and
the bayoneting of innocent men in the
streets of New York?'
Poindexter Defends Raids
While regarding it as unfortunate any
innocent man should have been appre-
hended, Senator PoindeXter, of Wash
ington, in reopening debate later, de-
clared there had been a good deal of
looseness in the assertion of facts" by
I. Senators, and that the New York au-
thorities were simply performing their
duty in rounding up slackers. He de-
Tended the action as a ''justifiable mill
tary proceeding" and said there was
nothing to show that the rights to a
writ of habeas corpus had been sus-
pended or that any man caught in the
raid had made any effort to resort to this
legal procedure. He added that there
was nothing to show any great hardship
was imposed on any of the men, and
that there had been an exaggeration of
the whole affair
Probe Resolution introduced
Investigation by the Senate Military
Committee OF the draft-slacker raids in
New York city was proposed in a resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Smoot. of
Utah. Upon objection by Senator Kirby,
of Arkansas, consideration of the re So
luton went over until tomorrow.
