The following is short letter
written later to his brother, Albert
My Dear Brother Albert:
| am going to drop a few words
to you to tell mamma and it's about
the allotment money. They could
not take the $500 to use in pay
ing for the three bonds | wanted to
take out so mamma will get the
$500 and she can do what she
thinks best. Altho | have one that
stands good, that is ! can pay for il.
out of the rest Of my wages. How
are they buying the Bonds at home?
Are they taking them with rush
or are the people standing back and
can't decide whether to buy any
more or not. But there is one thing
the people don't understand and
that is the government needs tile
money M and they need it bad. The
more money the more, lives that
will be saved. OF course it. will be'a
long time before they will realize
that it is necessary to haveEmoney
to buy equipments for the soldiers
and also feed and clothe them pro-
perly. I'll tell you one thing and
that is we are all looking for the
day to come when the Germans will
have to give in so we can get home.
We are also hoping every day that
we will come home alive and see all
the folks. But if the people are not
going to help. us it will be that
much harder for us to lick the Kai-
ser for the boys need the guns and
ammunition so it is necessary to|
get all the money that is possibIel
without having to take it away
from them. One more thing and
that is the people of the country
are liable to wake up some day and
see the death list growing bigger
than they ever expected to see. We
boys in our Company have done
| pretty good about buying Bonds
and each one Of us paying for them
out Of our wages. The last report
was $1,000 but it has grown the
last couple of days sol don't know
just how we stand. Of course there
are Companys that have done bet-
ter than that by long ways.
Well, Albert, | don't know any
news that would interest you so I'll
close my letter with my best regards
to you all.
Your Brother,

IRISH QUESTION PATTI
TO POLITICAL PEACE
Lloyd George and Bonar Law
Favor Exploring All Avenues
Looking to Settlement

London, Nov. 80,

London, NOV. -.
David Lloyd George and Andrew
Bonar Law have issued a long election
address TO the country. For the most
part it follows the lines of speeches
made recently by the two political
leaders in outlining plans for preference
to the colonies. 1t says. however, that
until the country has returned to normal
industrial conditions, it would be pre-
mature to prescribe a fiscal policy in
tended for permanence.
I'VE must endeavor." the address says,
ito reduce the war debt in such manner
as to infiict the least injury to industry
and credit. The military institutions
of the country must necessarily be de-
pendent upon the needs of the empire
its prospective requirements and the
necessities of the league for the preser-
vation' of peace.
at will be the duty OF the new gov
erDment to remove all existing inequall-
and create a second chamber based upon
direct contsct with the people.
There can be no political peace In
the kingdom or empire while the Irish
question remains. Therefore all prac-
tical paths toward a settlement must be
explored. There are two paths, how
ever which are closed, namely, one lead
ing to the complete severance of ireland
from the empire and the other to forcible
subjection of the six Ulster counties tc
a home rule parliament against their
will"

FRIENDS OF GERMANY
RENEW PROPAGANDA
Justice Department Agent
Warns Public Here-Readv
to Prosecute

German propagandlsts, campaigning
to justify Germany in the war and bring
about policy or leniency, will be Wig
orously prosecuted by the Department
OF Justice and other watchful Federal
agencies.
Since the signing Of the armistice
many propagandlsts here are reported to
nave resumed their work of fostering
Germany's cause with expressions dis
tnCtly anti-Amerlcan.
Ihe German sympathizert=, from all
accounts, are busy bees' endeavoring
TO create the impression that Germany
ana its ruler were not to blame for the
conflict and that lenient peace terms
should be offered the defeated nation.
Todd Daniel, superintendent of the
Philadelphia's division OF the Department
or Justice, today said It must be re-
membered that peace has not been de-
ctared-the war is still on--and that all
persons making seditious remarks will
be prosecuted.
Numerous reports Of propaganda
speeches have been reported at head
quarters of the Philadelphia division of
the American Protective League, accord
ing TO Chief Gaskill.
The plea Of Foreign Minister Solf for
modification of the armistice terms, and
the wireless plea from committee of
German women were characterized by
the Government officials as types of
propaganda to be avoided.

POLITICS Is BLAMED
FOR RENT INCREASE
Higher Tax Rate Compels Ad-
vances, Says Cirard Es-
tate Controller

Politics is blamed for increases in rent
OF from IS to SO affecting 400 houses
owned by the Girard estate in the south-
ern part of the city. Advances in the
tax rate from $3.50 to S2.35 per 500
real estate valuation has compelled the
higher rent, managers Of the estate as
sert.
The city is trustee for the estate, and
the charge of tenants that the estate is
trying to "proflteer" was answered by
James ~Maccallion, controller of the
estate for the Board of City Trusts, by
reviewing the tax situation.
I'm the Blankenburg administration
the tax rate was $3.50" said Mr.. Mac
GALLON. Now with the awful extrava-
gance of this administration the tax
rate first jumped to s1.75. and now 1t
is sG35. In addition, they've gone and
put up the real estate assessments about
$4,000 for next year. How can the
estate run its property with any profit
under these conditions?"
Maccallion said that the high cost of
labor and the cost of various other sup
plies to run the community were also
reasons for the advance. I'VE thought
of increasing the rents some time ago.
but held off because of war conditions"
he added.
William T. Applebaugh, who is in d.
rect charge Of the dwellings and whose
office is at 1903 Skunk street, assailed
the rotten politics" that made possible
the increase in rents.
Its the same old story. politics YER
sus real estate" he said. Real estate
of course, takes the burden. The big
tax rate and the big assessments are
results Of the poor financial policy OF
| the administration, and this, combined
| with other costs of maintenance, made
! to pay the taxes Of the estate"

New York, Nov. 22.-(By A. P)--
Lieutenant Colonel Charles Whittlesey,
who as major commanded the lost bat

which stood off the Germans in the Ar
gonne forest for four days, although
completely surrounded, was the guest of
honor here last night OF the Williams
College Club. Fred T.. Wood, president
of the club said that Whittlesey's now
famous reply to the German command

refusal. malediction and a prophesy."
When a scholarly looking member of
the club arose ami asked If he really"

BACKS WAR AGAINST CAPITAL
Socialist Tells Meeting Bolshevist
Red Flag Will CONQUER

While the Philadelphia Soviet was
holding an uneventful meeting in sec
ond-noor room of the Russian audi
torium, Eighth and Fairmount avenue
last night. Samuel Glazer was telling
the Twentieth Ward Socialist Club, In
session on the first floor that under the
red flag of Bolshevism labor will inau-
gurate a bitter war against capital in
this country.
Glazer Is a member Of the Twentieth
Ward Socialist Club, and when he was
asked afterward If he did not CONSIDER
it dangerous thus verbally to flaunt the
red flag in this city, in view of police
prohibition and the governmental edict
against 1t, he replied:
We're all for the red flag, and well
win our victory under it,
The club took no formal action upon
the subject: neither did it censure nor
repudiate Glazer's statement.
The Soviet held virtually its entire
session in the Russian tongue, and de-
voted nearly the whole evening to de-
ccding whether it should admit to menu
bership an Italian organization whose
representative said it was composed OF
anarchists, syndicalists, International
lists and !. w. VS."

ENGINEERS IN FIGHT

Wanton destruction of beauties of
France was the spur that urged Penn
sylvauians of the Seventy-ninth Division
on in their heroic fight in Argonne for
est. Scenes of needless devastation of
the countryside that met them at every
turn as they advanced stimulated them
TO give the Germans the decisive defeat
that has won the selected men a place
side by side with other Pennsylvania
units in the history Of the battles of
the great war.
Private Arthur y. Kehoe, OF Consho-
I Train in this advance. and his letters
home tell of some of the fiendish WORK
of the Germans in the Argonne region.
His latest letter was written after Mont
faucon was captured.
"The boche has poisoned all water
now available" he writes. The trees
/ have also been niclled and poisoned,
and as one goes further it is impossible

Engineers in Front Lines
Corporal Frank I. Woods, of Swarth-
more, was with the famous Iron Di-
vision in the Argonne victory.
The 103d Engineers, of which he was
a member. moved right along with the
infantry in the drive, and did it's work
under heavy fire from the German artil-
iHry he writes home.
Speaking of the doughboys, Corporal
Woods says: II hear they have a new
song, IF Your Sons Not in the Infan.

think that they will make an exception
in favor of the pioneer engineers, though
] approve the song, for the infantry gel
most of the credit for driving the Ger
mans out of France"
Al one place the 103d Engineers, ac.
cording to Corporal Woods, found roat
mines which the Huns had hoped &c
explode as the Yankee troops passed
but from which they were driven too

Lorraine Is Wanted

DR.. Etienne Burnet, of the Pasteur
Institute of Paris. gave lecture on
"Pasteur as n Representative of the
French Scientific Spirit" at special
meeting of the American Philosophical
Society yesterday afternoon.
In an interview after the lecture Doc
tor Burnet said there was one thing
that he had noticed in the press of this
country which he would like to correct; {;
namely the tendency toward the belief
that there is powerful party in France
bent on the annexation Of German ter
ritory.
He said that this was not true; that
the only annexation that France contem-
plated was Alsace-Lorraine as it stood
in 1914, IL that might be called anneXa-
ton.

rheumatism
Relief 25c.


There are three vital processes Of
human existence. the digestion Of
food. the extraction Of nourishment
from it and the elimination OF waste.
Poor digestion and assimilation
means failure to derive full nourish-
ment from food and that in turn often
means Impoverished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor elimination means
which poisons the body. lowers vitality,
decreases the power Of resistance to
disease and leads to the development
of many serious ills.
Rheumatism,-du to some inter-
ference with, the process Of elimina-
ton, failure to get rid Of certain body
poisons,-cannot be expected to yield
to any medicine that fails to correct
the condition responsible for It. Could
any reasonable person expect to rid

rheumatic poison is allowed to remain
