PHILA. ORCHESTRA
MAY have TO QUIT
War Conditions Too Heavy
Burden, Manager
Judson Says
FORESEES DEFICIT
OF ABOUT 500, ,000

With the strong probability that the
next draft will include men Of from
IS TO 45 years Of age. an over-impend-
ing extension OF the ''work-or-fght'
order, increased railroad farces, a pro-
posed increase Of 10 per cent in the
tax on admissions and the possible levy
ing Of a corporation income tax on
orchestras, the existence Of the Phila-
delphia Orchestra is seriously threat
ened.
This was the opinion expressed yes
terday by Arthur Judson. manager Of
the Philadelphia Orchestra Association.
"Orchestras thus far have been free
from the tax on corporation incomes,
Instituted nine years ago under the cor
poratiOn tax law" Mr. JudsOn said
"But now the Government is proposing
60 levy this tax and is going 10 make
us pay returns for the nine years dur
ing which we were exempt on the
ground that we We're an educational
institution. According TO the inter
probation Of the internal Revenue De
parlment, no institution can be classed
as educational" unless 70 has students.
I'VE cannot give more than fifty
concerts season i'm Philadelphia; the
public will not patronize more. The
Income from this series will not cover
expenses, and so we have TO give from
forty TO nifty concerts on the road.
Now 80 per cent. OF our touring has
been reduced by the loss Of special
train privileges and the increase in
railroad fares. We used TO pay two and
one-quarter cents a mile when travel
ing with 100 people. Now we pay three
and one-half cents q mile straight, and
this matter Of travelling alone has in
creased our expenses $4,000 annually.
III, added to this. the present 10 per
cent. Government tax on admissions
should be raised to 20 per cent, which
will mean that we will lose apprOXi-
mately p per cent. Of our attendance,
we may LOOK for another yearly loss OF
$4,000. The 10 per cent. tax )ast season
alone was enough to prevent our pa
tronage from showing any growth over
the previous year.
"All this, coming on top Of our year
~ deficit Of from 10000 10 $4,000,
makes a total Of about 100000 not
anticipating any corporation tax for the
momentl Where are we going to raise
80? The wealthy people who subsidiZe
us are generous and patient. but they,
too, are now taxed in a thousand and
one ways, and there is a limit even TO
the income Of millionaire.
In the meantime ve expect the
'work-or-flght' order 10 be extended 10
musicians at any moment. And II the
new measure fo- draft age limits be-
comes law we might as well close up
shop as so per cent Of the orchestra
members would be affected"

Yank Soldier Going Into Bat

Thought to Parent.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN THE FIELD. Oct. 15.-(Corre-
spondence). When an American
soldier goes "over the top or when
he receives a bullet or shrapnel
wound he thinks Of his mother. The
French poilu thinks of his wife. and
the British Tommy of his sweet
heart.
This fact Is borne out by the Off
GERS and doctors who have served in
all three of the allied armies They
declare that when the American sol
der is wounded the first word on
his lips in almost every case is

to teh hospital he calls constantly
for his mother. His British cousin,
however, seems chiefly absorbed in
his sweetheart. and longs to see her

compatriot thinks only of his fem

One correspondent at the Ameri-
can front asked a number of sol
diers what thought was most on
their minds when they first left
their trenches TO attack the Ger
mans. In nine cases out Of ten the
answer was, "Of home and mother"
There were a few. however. who
said that as they entered the bat
/ tie tlIeir minds were given ever
wholly 10 prayer. although they had
never before been in the habit of
praying. Some OF them kept be-

and counsel contained in letters

one soldier on the morning Of the
attack received a letter from his
mother quoting the Scriptural
/ phrase, Trust in the Lord and no

day and came out unscathed

OF the peat II was a poetic mo-
ment when the sphagnum plants.
as by a gesture OF humanity. rose
from their black waters TO take the
place in the hospitals Of the white
hooded deserters from the cotton
fields
The first experiments with sphag
mum dressings during this war ap-
pear 20 have been made in a Scot
fish hospital in III. These were
followed up the next year in Ireland.
But Il was not until 1915, Prof. Hot
son says, that the British war Office
accepted the sphagnum pads as
official dressings" From that tim 2
their use has gone on increasing.
The work was pushed in 1917 by the
Canadian Red Cross. and in January
last the British war office called for
2O.0OO.0OO sphagnum dressings from
Canadian sources. In March last
these dressings were officially ap-
proved by the American Red Cross.
With how much enthusiasm the
work has been pushed may be
judged by the fact that the faculty
Of the University Of Washington. in
consequence of a call from the
American war department, for So
600 sphagnum dressings, voted o

HotO the War Has DeUeloped a
NerO Use for Bog Moss
BY GARRETT p. SERVES.

II Is remarkable how many of
our most pressing wants nature
stands ready TO supply. il only we
will 90 10 her. Take. as an example,
The rapid development OF the use OF
Sphagnum, or bog moss. for sur
sdcal dressings. which has been
brought about by the necessities Of
the war.
As nation after nation was swept
into the vortex OF the great struggle
and armies composed OF millions OF
lighting men began 20 employ all the
resources OF modern science to pro-
duce death and wounds on an un-
precedented scale IL quickly became
evident that the worlds supply Of
absorbent cotton, one OF the most
indispensable OF the surgeons ap-
planes, could by no means meet
the immense demand made upon IL.
This was known even in the first
year OF the war. The prospect
would have been heartrending II
there had not been in natures
great storeroom a ready and excel
lent substitute, which had before
been tried on a small scale. so that
no time had TO be lost in searching.
II is of course. the absorbent
property Of the moss that gives II
its value for surgical purposes. Its
cells are peculiarly arranged TO en-
able them 10 absorb and conduct
water by capillary action. Both
leaves and stem have strata or
transparent cells, connected by
holes" and this constitutes the
plants machinery for drawing in
and retaining liquids. 1t has long
been known 20 nurserymen and
florists on account Of it's excellence

other uses have hitherto been found
