TWO FACES; NO BACK
Girl Essayist Diplomatically Decides
Status of Independence Hall

Independence Hall faces both Walnut
and Chestnut streets, according to
Philcna Hammer. a pupil of the y. II.
Filter School. who today was awarded
the $40 gold prize by the Walnut Street
Business Association for having written
the best composition on "Independence
Hall Does it face Walnut or Chestnut
Street,"
Philena evidently has a judicial turn
of mind, for she says: The reason for
Chestnut is because upon entering the
building one walks directly into the
center of the main room. where stands
he Liberty Bell Then it may he said
that the State House faces Walnut
! street, because the main terrace and
, walks are on this street. Really, candid
| ly speaking" she goes on to say, 1T may
| be said without a doubt that Inde-
pendence Hall faces two streets and
| that 1t has no back"

Nevertheless, those guilty OF inef-
fective methods will mend their
ways and great improvement will be
the result.
From the first offensive act of
Germany in the war she has set n
new record in barbarity and vicious
methods OF warfare. The civilized
world suddenly awakened to the fact
that 1t was dealing with a relentless
organization OF flendishness that was
previously considered impossible on
earth and that Prussianism meant
terrorism. Atrocious acts OF hatred
toward innocent women and chill
dren are pastime with them.
Standing helpless prisoners in cages
and starving them is great fun. But,
bear this thought In mind: Whom
the gods would destroy. they frst
make mad"
Bad as II is. war is not the worst
thing that can happen to nation,
but. no people can be justified in
participating in one without a high
regard for justice. A nation with
out a conscience is a criminal on
the earth and should be executed.
Let every thoughtful person stop for
moment and think-Why is Amer
lea in this great conflict? II has no
selfish purpose 10 attain and asks
nothing for itself. but is struggling
for the safety and equal justice OF
all mankind, whereas. every act and
move OF Germany Is for conquest,
for one man power. to attain which
she maintains a warfare OF cruelty
and hatred. numbering the innocent
to terrorize the nations She Is in
capable OF understanding that such
acts will not terrorize anybody OF
principle. but will stir them to great
er activity. What will be the result
Of this last outrage? America will
instantly redouble her efforts to pre-
pare and the individual soldier will
take extra chances and extra pre-
cautions to destroy the adversary.
Many a Germans life will pay the
forfeit.
This effect remains: The Ameri-

TUSCANIA

Nothing has occurred since this
country entered the war to bring
home to its people the fact that IT
is engaged in a relentless and bloody
conflict as the sinking Of the Tus-
cania. Strange as it may seem, a
dreamy haze Of indefinite listless-
ness has prevailed. especially in the
west. While war preparations have
proceeded with vigor, still even the
enlisted men were unable to grasp
the fact that they we're engaged in
q great war and II meant blooshed
and endless suffering. People knew
that German submarines were con-
stantly in waiting to destroy both
ships and men, still, the very fact
that none had been sunk brought
about a serene feeling OF security
that in many ways doubtless result
ed In carelessness with the powers
that be. When the chairman OF the
investigating committee-and other
members OF the senate also,-says
there has been lack of system and
disaster such as this occurs, the

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Although opinions differed widely in banking cir cles as to the significance of the Ger man chancellor's latest address, peace talk predominated in the financial dis trict today.
 Stocks were firm at the outset, be- coming stronger later on substantial advances in rails, including many low priced issues. Early dealings were limited to comparatively few special ties, shippings, motors and minor equipments making extreme gains of to points.
 The strength of rails was generally attributed less to the tenor of foreign advices than to the publication of fur ther details showing the plan and scope of the railroad legislation now before congress.
 In the foreign exchange market the only direct reflection of the many peace rumors was furnished by the stiffening of cable remittances to Lon- don, francs however reacting.

 CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Likelihood that a prospective cold wave accompanied by snow would delay improvement in the crop movement had considerable. to do today with an advance in the price of corn. The market closed unsettled, fl G asc to 1sc net higher, with March s1.26% and May s1.25 to s125K. Oats gained 1B@1Ac to 11sc. Provisions underwent declines of cents to 22 cents.
 Except for little weakness at the outset, the corn market showed a de- cided upward slant. Peace talk, to which the initial declines seemed due, was speedily offset by bullish construc- tions given to action of the exchange directors in putting a stop to trade in January delivery and in ordering that January settlements be effected at the maximum limit heretofore allowed for futures, SIPS a bushel. Meanwhile predictions of severe cold and snow be- gan to take effect, and with complaints of car shortage put the bears at a dis advantage throughout the remainder of the day.
 Oats mounted to the highest prices yet this season. Continued scantiness of receipts, together with persistent buying on the part of large houses wa. largely responsible. Export sales tot. alled 300,000 bushels.
