COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENCE PILL DRIED FOR RETAINING CORPORATION CONNECTIONS
 WHILE PEOPLE STARVE

r,ec. g2. 1917. (by maiD-Today every citizen of New York who is compelled to exist on his own earn ings knows how he is feeling the pinch. Feeling it, feeling it if he has only himself to support, and feeling it far worse if he has a wife and children whom he desires to sec enjoy the comforts of life to which they are entitled.
 Politicians may pifle; prostitue press may promise relief, but while this piff1ing has continued for months and these promises have been again and again reprinted, the cost of everything that the people must have merely to exist still goes skyward Sugar, they are now told, will be sold around ten cents in few days. This price is robbery of tho most fragrant character, and if there were men in charge of pub lie affairs who were really running them in the interests of the people such robbery would be impossible. Many citizens 're wondering why they have heard o much of public spirited citizens who are giving up their time to do these things for them.
 If the worker reads this article by Amcs Pinchot, he will understand mere about it. It is a portion of his indictment of the financial and industrial misrulers of the country.
 Pnchot shows jus: who and what the members Of the council of Ge- fense arc, and taking 33 of them, including such profiteers as Chas. M. Schwab of Bethlehem Steel; E. J. Derw;-d, the coal king; H.

It is clearly up to them to decide which they are going to serve, and this decision cannot be delayed, if the war is to have the confidence of the country.

 THE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL
 DEFENSE.
 By Amos Pinchot.
 Neither the United States nor any other country :an carry on a war which will make the world safe for democracy aud for plutocracy at the same time. II the war is to serve God it cannot serve Mammon. do both is not merely attempting the impossible; but he is fighting his own country in the most effect i've way. AS St. Paul says, There is natural body and there is a spiritual body" All the natural re- sources of the country, all the arm ies, navieS, ammunition, food and other physical assets we can muster, will not make the war a success unless there is also a sound spiritual body of popular faith to carry the nation through these times of un- paralleled suffering and sacrifice. It is the spiritual side of the situa- ton which is being very unfortun- ately and needlessly weakened, be- cause Congress is refuseing to pro- tect the war from the swarm of hungry profiteers who are daily tearing at it.
 But what makes it more serious and this is the condition to which I want to call your attention, is that some of our principal financiers and captains of industry, who have been called by the government to serve upon the council of national defense are the main offenders in the unpatriotic business of discred- iting the war by commercalizing it. In close cooperation with the government, in daily conference with our highest executive officers these men are combining two irreconcil- ble functions. They are sitting in the morning as foremost patriots, ] actively directing the mobilization of Americas resources and they are spending their afternoons in taking advantage of the necessity of the people and the government by mak- ing legalized, but none the less de- structive financial raids upon them raids so provitable as to make us look back, almost with gratitude, at the comparative moderation of Amercan profiteers during the civil war.
 national defence were placed there in positions of immense influence and power, they were not placed there for the purpose of exploiting the public and the government. On the contrary, they were appointed to save the public and the govern mont from exploitation. The mem- bers of the council of national de- fense cannot serve the Unted States and the pockets of the corporations of which they are officers or direct ors, at the same time; at least not in the way they have so far chosen.

TT THERE is n mar in Philadelphia
l. who ought to be proud today it is
State Senator E. Fl. Ware. Yesterday his
wife did two things. For the first time
since she has played golf she made a
score under a hundred, and in doing
cup. which Slayton G.. Dixon gave to
the woman's Golf Association of Phila-
delphia, in memoir of his mother. for
many years its president.
Mrs. Ware has been playing golf but
three years. Last week She qualified in
the first sixteen for the women's golf
championship of Philadelphia. and that
Is a feat that is worthy of note. And
her victory yesterday keeps the big
trophy at the Whitemarsh Valley Coun-
try Club for another year. for last year
| Mrs. W. j. Turnbull won the cup for
the first time at the Springhaven Coun-
try Club.
Sclf.Taught and Long Driver
Mrs. Ware is virtually a s~elf-taught
golfer. n one of her club mates re-
marked yesterday afternoon that. so far
as she knew. she had never taken a
golf lesson. Like others of the White
l1ldTSn payers. Sill Is II IoHS driver,
and the ball she hits is not only long,
but low, so that it gets a forward spin
that carries it much farther than the
majority of drives among her sex.
For the first time yesterday she CO.
Qrdinated her two rounds. Like many
other golfers she has had trouble in
getting two good rounds together. but
yesterday everything was working prop
erly. Incidentally, there were only two
other women playing in the tournament
who had a lower gross score, so there Is
every reason to believe that Senator
Ware is a very delighted man today.
Course in Splendid Condition
None of the low-scoring players was
entered yesterday. not that they dis
like a handicap affair, but other
reasons kept them away. AS a result,
the women will handicaps ranging from
nine strokes to eighteen had the day all
to themselves. The course, which is
particularly suited to women's play, was
in the best of condition. The fairways
had just been cut and everywhere there
was a good lie waiting the players in
the fairways. and the rough was not so
tad that the women could not get out in
me stroke. The greens were perfection
itself and were true and fast, although
there had been a very hard downpour
in Wilmington the night before.
Things looked rather bad when the
first pair left the initial tee. but by
noon the weather was very much inn
proved and no rain fell at any time.
Low Net Scores in a Row

ton, had things her own way with a net

There was every indication that she
would be the ultimate winner. but ten
minutes later Mrs. Ware arrived with
what proved TO be the best net tally of
the day.

women and the rest of the field there
was as wide n margin as there was be-
tween Miss Caverly. Mrs. Barlow, Mrs.
Fox, Mrs. Stetson and Mrs. Munson and
the others who qualified for the city
championship.
Mrs. Dyer as Club Mascot
Mrs. w J. NJ. Dyer. of whitemarsh,
was as delighted as II she had won the
trophy. She has reasons to regard her.
self as the official mascot of W~hitemarsh.
Last year she went to Springhaven In
Mrs. Turnbull's car and yesterday she
drove down to Wilmington in Mrs.
Wares car so that there is every indi-.
cation next year she will have all sorts
of invitations from the Whitemarsh
women to accompany them to the 1919
tournament.
None Of the women holed out in one.
but Mrs. A. F.. Shoemaker just missed
doing so on the second hole with .
spoon shot that rolled to within two
or three inches of the cup.
Fifteen Lucky Handicap
Fifteen is a lucky number for the
Whitemarsh women for both Mrs. Turn
bull and Mrs. Ware won the Dixon
trophy with that handicap. This year
the ormer's rating was cut to ten
strokes.
| have remarked before that Phila-
delphia women are not ashamed Of their
scores. Every one of the entries but
one turned in their cards. and one of
them had the huge total of 169 strokes.
Others were high, but every one of these
women. who can play the course in very
much lower scores, walked UP to the
score board and turned their cards in,
and that is not the easiest thing in the
world to do when they see others score
thirty to fifty strokes lower.
Mrs. w. S. Hilles had charge of the
tournament, and she handled 1t in the
usual capable way that she manages
tournaments. Everything went along
smoothly, and all in all it was a de-
llghtful day for all, for the coruse was in
perfect condition and the women found
it a real treat to play over huch de-
lightful turf, and put over those SPLEEN
