PHILADELPHIA HEROES
ON. THEIR WAY HOME

fits are on their way home to Philadel-
phia and other points of the Keystone
State to enjoy their first stay with the
people at home in a long, long time.
Two hundred or more men from the best
State on earth were given thirty-six
hour passes.
These fellows cheered with more vigor
when these passes were given out than
they did upon the signing of the armis-
tice. A pass meant more to them than
decorations or citations. Some of them
had not seen their home folks for six
teen or seventeen months. They were
proud to wear their wound stripes and
he home folk. too, will be proud to
see them, but these folks are apt to feel
a little blue when they see the real
wound scars which the fellows bear as
marks Of their sufferings.
Heroes of Cambria. San Quentin,
Chateau-Thierry, Montfaucon are num-
bered among the homegoers. Some of
these who had been sen here to re-
cuperate didn't get home this afternoon,
but they will get a chanc to see their
folk at Christmas. Some Pennsylva-
mans from tank regiments"-'the
peterborough boys'-got in last night
and more are expected tonight n to-
morrow. In TACT there will be hundreds
of wounded Pennsylvanians received
here in the next few weeks.
Stories OF heroism of officers and men
abound. Thomas T.. Clark. of Camden.
n member of the 313th Regiment, of
the Seventy-ninth Division, told how
Major Benjamin f. Pepper was killed a
short time after he went over the top
on September IS. The major and a few
~privates were lying in a shell crater
when the major told his men to lie low
while he peeped owe the top 10 see II
an advance could be made. AS he did
so q machine-gun bullet hit him in the
head. He was carried back by his men
and died a few minutes later. He had
fought intrepidly, Clark said.
Men of Company A. of the 1O9tf
Regiment, say that Captain Walter
Guerty, commander Of their company
called to his men as he was going over
the top, GIVE 'em hell, boys" He
dropped from the parapet with a ma,
chine-gun bullet through his head.

but Senator wolcott interposed an OBJ
lection, and Senator Reed interrupted:
"If the committee does not keep this
witness within the traces he will have
to take his medicine II he gets out"
81 have no objection to the remarks
going into the record said Mr.. Becker.
II am used to being attacked, and / am
glad to be pursued by any one repre-
senting the Hearst crowd"
The statement went into the record.
Senator Reed read several articles from
the New York Tribune and an AFFIDAVIT OF
a New York American reporter, seeking
to show that Merton Il. Lewis, Attorney
General of New York State, when a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for Governor in August, 1917, used affi-
davits showing meetings between Hearst
n Bolo Pasha in his campaign as a
means OF attacking Governor whitman.
his opponent.
The Senator then questioned the wit
ness in an effort to show that in Febru-
ary, 1915, when Bolo Pasha came to
the United States, this country was
neutral and Won Bernstorff was gen
orally received socially and that, con-
~sequently, Mr.. Hearst was justified in
not suspecting the enemy connections of
Bolo.

U. S. FIGHTS CABLE COMPANIES
Attorney Files Motion in New
York to Dismiss Injunction

Now York, Dec. 21.-(By A. P.)-
The Government resorted to the Federal
Court. here today to bring about a dis
missal OF the injunction proceedings be-
CUR recently by the Commercial Cable
Company and the Commercial Pacific
Cable Company against Postmaster lem
eral Burleson and Newcomb Carlton to
prevent Government ownership of the
cables wned by these companies.
Harold Harper, an assistant Federal
attorney here, filed motion papers
claiming that the Court has no jurisdic-
tion to issue an injunction, because the
cables were taken over by President
Wilson in furtherance of the war power
conferred on him by Congress and as
necessary for the national security and
defense.
Argument of Mr.. Harper's motion
was set for December 81.

WOULD Bar selling
OF tags BY CHILDREN
Juvenile Protective Association Con-
siders Practice Dangerous.

The Juvenile Protective Association
of the District of Columbia seeks to
put a ban on the promiscuous selling
Of tags, flowers and other articles
designed for charitable purposes by
unsupervised children OF Washington.
At a meeting Of the board Of direc-
tors OF the association yesterday the
practice was condemned as giving the
children too large a chance to dis
pose of part OF the money collected
for their own uses.
The board takes the view that these
children, who are sent out with vari-
Gus articles to sell, get any amount
for the same that they ask. often
being told to keep the change" when
the amount proffered exceeds what
is asked. Many of these boys and
girls, says the board. though coming
from the best families. use large
part of the money collected to buy
sodas and candy for themselves with

done near nightfall the mixture will

Cut-worms can be guarded against
by not leaving rubbish. boards, etc,
lying around. They live under things
like that during the day and only ap-
pear on the gardens surface at night.
Frequent hoeing will reach many
cut-worms hiding in the ground dur
ing the day.
Cut-worms attack almost any kind
of plant, but prefer melons, toma-
toes, potatoes and other plants hav'

HOROSCOPE.
Friday, May IL, 1efS.

ny ~
During the busiest hours Of this
day Jupiter and Mercury are in ben
efic aspect. but later the Sun, Venus
and Uranus are all adverse.
1t is a rule favorable for dig COM
merciaI transactions. Manufacturers.
bankers and directors of big business
should beneft.
There is, however, sign read as
presaging efforts OF secret enemies to
bring about a financial panic. A plot
OF widest reach is foreseen by the
seers.
This Is a most auspicious sway for
advertising, which will gain greauy
during the last half OF the year when
it will be utilized for new projects OF
ma ational importance.
While this conEuraftion prevails. II
is most unfavorable for all who seek
employment. but especially for quests
by women.
The stars seem to give warning that
women may lose government places
through inefficiency as they come un-
der a threatening planetary govern
ment.
Love affairs are not well directed
today. Deceit is believed to be en-
couraged when Uranus is in the as
pect astrologers' find today.
Some sort OF trouble or contest over
the appointment OF a woman to a
high position under the government
is indicated.
Uranus again gives warning OF trou-
Bile concerning aviation. Accidents,
