ARDEN IS AROUSED
BY anti WAR TALK
Don Stephens Attempts to
Block an Expression
of Patriotism
IS CALLED A
TRAITOR BY CROWD

Residents OF Arden, the Single Tax
colony. wrestled with the question Of
patriotism for nearly four hours SAT-
urday night, when those who own
Liberty Loan Bonds or have assisted
the Government in its war plans en-
deavored TO do something to Offset the
anti-war talk indulged in by Frank
stephens, founder OF the colony, and
his son. Don Stephens. who is now
contesting the constitutionality Of the
draft act The meeting, held at the
home OF DR.. Percy Russell, was the
longest ever held in the colony, being
attended by fifty or more residents. Il
was evident that those present We're
not OF the same mind as Don Stephens,
who was called a traitor during one OF
the debates, which caused a tlt be-
tween him and several Of the residents.
stephens demanded a retraction, saying
that if he was such, the Government
would have tried him on the charge.
This caused one Ardenite TO exclaim
that ne wished he had a Hun hanging
from every one Of his fruit trees.
Efforts TO have the colonists enroll
as members Of the National Defense
League failed. and on motion Of d.
Haines Albright an attorney Of Phila-
delphia, q resolution was adopted urg-
ing everyone to raise as much produce
OF his land as possible TO help win the
war.
The younger Stephens tried 10 block
the meeting by stating his views on
the war and his reasons for not oem-
plying with the draft. lie also took
fling at those who had the fiag-raising
in the colony last year, stating that he
thought ut would have been better to
raise the red flag Of Socialism instead
of the Stars and Stripes"
Those who attended the meeting also
declared that the anti-var orators were
using the colony and its residents 20
advertise themselves and their peace
talk A publicity committee was sp-
pointed 90 give out news from The
colony TO Offset anything Stephens .oy~
his son may say. Another meeting
will be held Saturday evening next.
when this committee. consisting OF
Mrs. Barclay Spicer, G. J.. Whitehead
and Al. Priestman. will report.

railroad PROPERTY
IS swept By FIRE
Small Buildings in West
Yard Are Destroyed When
Lantern UpSets
.LURID GLARE
ATTRACTS CROWD

Traffic on the p, B. * W. r. r., in
cluding one troop train was held up for
an hour and thrce-quarters last night
while fire destroyed three buildings
and several freight cars Of the Penn
sylysnia Railroad at the extreme west
ern edge Of the West Yard, in the Elev-
epth ward. The fire, which was caused
by the overturning Of a lantern, licked
up the yardmaster's Office. the store
room, the car inspectors Office an oil
house, and several cars.
The fire which cast a lurid glare in
the heavens, caused thousands Of pco-
pic to rush to the scene and automo-
biles blocked the streets, preventing the
prompt arrival Of lire apparatus that re-
spended TO an alarm from Box 32 On
their arrival the flremen were ham
pered by the scarcity Of fire plugs. only
two plugs being available. The Fame,
Weccacoc and Union fire companies re-
spended and while cars said TO contain
explosives were nearby. tley prevented
the flames from spreading irrespective
Of the danger.
Owing TO the congested condition Of
the yards it required i6 minutes to get
the first line of hose on the fire.
An old car from which the wheels
had been removed so that it served as
an oil house, pretty well filled with
barrels Of oil, caught fire and made t
dangerous for the fremen to get near.
When these barrels exploded flames
were thrown high into the air. At first
the fremen could do little on account
Of the congestion Of cars in the yard
and the impossibility OF reaching
the flames with lines Of hose.
When the yard finally was partly clear
ed. the buildings were pretty well in
flames and the flremen tried only 10
confne the blaze to the burning struc-
lures.
The yard offices were virtually wiped
out and number Of box cars destroy
ed Only one alarm was rung in. the
three district companies being cOnsid-
cred sufficient to handle the blaze. Al
though hampered in many ways, the
nremen did excellent work. when they
were able 10 get TO the fire.
No one was hurt although ono or the
railroad men came near being caught
on the second floor Of the bunk house
on account Of the ladder being taken
away. The flames lit up the sky for
miles and hundreds Of people seeing the
glow apparently over head, stopped on
the streets and wondered what caused
it.
