RENOUNCES OPPOSITION TO
WAR.

Few members Of Congress have
been more whole-hearted in their de-
votion to the country than the So
called wilful twelve who opposed our
entry into the war in the beginning.
They voiced their protest, but when
the country decided against them,
they whole-heartedly accepted its YER
dict. The following statement by
Senator Aisle J. Gronna, of North
Dakota, eloquently voices their atti-
tude:
"There were those of US who were
not willing at the particular time the
declaration was made to enter this
war, but | hope that, at least, no
Senator will challenge the patriotism
of any of those who were in the
minority at that time.
eve are as much interested in the
outcome of the war as those of you
who were in the majority. We have
as willingly given our sons, and many
of US have given our sons who did not
have to go on the field of battle under
IIlc new law DuI, clICII GAlC al 4lS'Nt
been declared, speaking for myself, |
knew it to be my patriotic duty to do
everything in my power to success
fully prosecute the war.
1--WE have contributed as literally
as we have been able to contribute to
every fund necessary to successfully
prosecute the war. 1t is no longer a
mooted question. We are facing a
powerful enemy.
Every American citizen must re-
alize that it is his duty as a citizen
of this Government to see that victory
with honor is won. Our faces must
be turned to the future. We are not
living in the past. Autocracy and
oligarchy must be crushed wherever
found, in the interest of peoples
government, in the interest of liberty
and freedom"
Senator Gronna, we feel sure,
speaks not only for himself and col
leagues, but for the great majority of
German Americans who indorsed his
original point of view.

JOHNSON ART STORED.
House of Philadelphia Donor is
Being Fireproofed to Pre-
serve Paintings.

Philadelphia, Aug. 8.-The 81, 500, 600
art collection, bcqucathcd by John q.
johnson to this city is now safely stored
in freproof warehouse. Mr.. johnson
was lawyer of international fame and
his hobby was buying pictures. He was
well known abroad AZ an art expert. The
johnson collection includes about 600
paintings
In bcqucathing this collection to
Philadelphia, Mr.. Johnson stipulated
that the treasures should be kept on
exhibition in his home and that the city
should annually appropriate money to
care for them. 1t was decided that a
collection of such value should be con-
tanned in fireproof gallery and the resi-
dcnce is now being altered with this
object in view.
ii is said that outside of the British
National Gallery there is perhaps no
collection of classic paintings that is so
chronoogically complete as is that ac-
cumulated by Mr.. Johnson, and 1T If
certain that there is nowhere any private
gallery To be compared with these care
fully selected exemplars of Italian
Flemish, French, Dutch, German, Spanish
and English schools of art. Mr. John
sons collection is practically an embodied
history of painting for the long period
which it includes.

BARBER PLAYS ROLE Of
GOOD SAMARITAN
Opens Shop to Children And Keeps
Them Cool With an
Electric Fan.

A barber on the west side endeared HIM
self forever with the children of his section
YESTERDAY afternoon. Among other equip
ment of bis Office is an electric fan.
Yesterday afternoon, while the ther-
moIneter was cavorting around l05, the
barber decided he would do his best TO
anuse the poor hot children round about
him Trade was dull and he had the time
TO give TO his kindly thoughts about the
little ones.
First Of all, he moved the fan so that 1t
would play directly over the center OF
the shop, and then he invited the kiddles
TO enter At first they hung back, because
many feared he wanted TO corral them and
shave their heads or some other ''turrlble'
thing. But his smile entIced them inside.
Then he directed them In various games,
that did not require much exercise, and
for three hours the kiddies played cool
and comfortable, while the sun and hu-
midity ragged about on the outside.
The act Of the barber was brought TO
the attention Of the WOmen's Committee
OF the State Defence Council, and 1T was
suggested that the example, IN other ways,
would be worthy one TO follow.
This kind Of weather is exceedingly hard
on grown folks, TO say nothing Of babies
and children Any act Of kindness such as
this tonsOrial artist performed, will be
Appreciated by the parents and well
wishing friends Of the community alike.

SUSPEND DRILLS
BECAUSE OF HEAT
Camp Dix Men Spend Time in
Endeavoring TO Keep
Cool.
Camp Dix Wrightstown, N. J., Aug

Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N j., Aug &
With the thermometer registering l24
degrees on the sun-baked parade ground
the soldiers Yesterday enjoyed another
rcspite from drill by order Of Major
General Scott and thousands Of men
passed most of the day in shady woods
near the camp Even IN the shade,
however, there was little real relief from
the heat. On the shady side of build
ings in the camp the minimum temper
ature was lO4 Because of the lower
humidity, however, there were fewer
prostrations The prompt action taken
by General Scott IN stopping all drill
work probably saved many lives yester-
dav. This action, combined with the
precautions taken by organization com
manders who rushed to the hospital all
men who seemed in the least affected by
the heat, was shown today when the
majority of those treated were able To
return To their companies There were
no deaths and up to this evening all
cases reported were expected TO recover.
Judge Joseph Burlington, Of Penn
svlyania, Yesterday administered the
citizenship oath to the largest class OF
aliens ever naturalized here, more than
800. Judge Burlington urged the new
citizens to strive to learn the American Ian
p1lage at once and closed the Court IN
an unusual way by calling Chrystal
Brown. Y. NJ c. A. camp song director,
TO the stage to lead the new citizens IN
singing some of the most popular Amer
lean war songs. As a finale they sang
the "Star-Spangled Banner"
In honor of Rev. Morgan Dix, son OF
General John Dix, for whom the camp
is named, handsome altar with FUR
nishings and communion silver was dedi-,
Gated last night at st. George Episcopal
Chapel. at Pointville. They were pre-
sented by the congregation OF Trinity
Church, New York, OF Which Dr. DIS
was a former rector. Bishop Matthews
of New Jersey, and other prominent
Episcopal clergyman and iayrnen and
delegations from organizations inter
ested in the soldiers club work conducted
here were present.
A unique feature of the service, which
was conducted by Rev. Karl NJ. Block
of Haddonfeld, was the formal prcsenta-
ton of colors of the Allied nations. Bnt-
ish, French, Italian, Belgian and Amer,
ican flags were paraded to the chance

CAMP MEADE HAS NEW
KIND OF OBJECTOR
Former War Department Clerk,
But Wants Nothing to Do
With War Itself.

Camp Meade, Admiral, Md, Aug. g.
Conscientious objoctors have come from
many strange places, but one who has
Just arrived from Washington is from the
War Department itself and has more
than once been praised for the services
he rendered there. He is Norval Jardet,
who WAS clerk in the office of the adj
jutant general, and he speaks Of the work
going on there as something far removed
from war. Although, as he claims, he
is opposed to war, he went all the way to
Washington from indianapolis and then
went to the War Department for employ
rnent As clerk his work won him
advancement and he was offered adms-
sion to the field clerks force. That he
refused He had a chance to go into
the Quartermaster Corps, but would
not take that.
After side-steppng such opportunities
he decided to tell where he stood, and
he wrote letter TO the Adjutant Cen
eral, offering to resign ON the ground
that he was an objector. lie took the
job of his own choice, he explained, and
as long as his resignation was not ac-
ccpted he held it until ordered to report
at Camp Meade with other civilian
employees Of the War Department lie

Charges That Visiting Swimmers
Padded Expense Account
Not Proven.

New York, Aug 8-The members
Of the Hawaiian swimming team, now
touring this country, were yesterday
absolved Of charges Of falsyfylng and IN
creasing their expense accounts, at q
special inquiry by Amateur Athletic
Union officials held in this city. The
members Of the team, including Duke
f. kahanamonku, Harold Kruger, Clar-
ence Lane and Manager Owen Merrick,
appeared before a special investigation
committee consisting of + W. Ruben
secretary-treasurer Of the A A. u. and
II Obertubbesing and + a Niles, mem
beTs Of the Board Of Governors
Complete expense accounts, receipts
and vouchers were submitted for exam
ination, and all questions were announced
to the satisfaction Of the committee
After the meeting Mr. Ruben said the
Hawaiians had in no way violated the
A A l. rules and that, on the other
hand, their trip and exhibitions have been
the means Of arousing great interest in
swimming throughout the country.
In many cases, he said, they had ap-
peared at cantOnments and other service
camps and given exhibitions before
thousands Of enlisted men without re-
ceying even expenses. No funds were
collected direct for the Red Cross, but
where the Hawaiian swimmers had com
peted in connection with the collection
of gate receipts the promoters had been
requested to devote the net proceeds TO
