hSSURANCES have gone forward to
1 4 the Philadelphia Chamber of Com
merce that the city is well protected
against an invasion of hostile aircraft.
When the startling news of a sub
marine invasion was flashed along our
coast and the lights were turned out
in New York City, some fear was ex.
pressed for the safety of City Hall
and the large munition establishments
in the vicinity of Philadelphia
Through members of Congress here
the War and Navy Departments were
consulted, and the result was reassur.
ing.
The Secretary of War explained
that the exact plan of protection could
not be made public, but that it EN-.
braced Boston, Baltimore, New York
and Washington as we'll as Philadel-
phia. The Secretary of the Navy
was equally cautious as to the plans
agreed upon by the departments and
the Allied forces, but intimated that
they were comprehensive and included
system of patrol upon which the
country could rely.
In,
sition of Philadelphia is worth noting.
1t is more than fifty-five miles inland
from the coastline and Is 100 miles
from the ocean by way Of river and
equally we'll sheltered. They have a
decided advantage in this respect over
the more exposed ports of Boston and
New York. If Philadelphia were di
rectiy upon the coast would she be
the great manufactu center she is
today? Being inland, but not too re.
mote, may have its compensations
after all
TD! THE POOR landlord. Who in
IL these days of alleged profiteerinS
will say a kind word for the owner
of real estate? Since the scrappy
chairman of the district committee
began his crusade against Washing
ton landlords the tenant has had
things pretty much his own way.
He has ingratiated himself with Con-
gress to such an extent that If he

mer vacation and is fortunate enough
also to obtain a war job he cannot be
dispossessed on the return of the
owner, nor can his rent be raised
Now comes the Darrow bill superin-
duced by the alleged profiteerng Of
Philadelphia landlords taking advan-
tage of the demand for shipbuilders'
homes. This bill is backed up by
United States District Attorney Kane
and is likely to make progress If the
profiteering agitation keeps up. Mean
while, the real estate agents here
and in Philadelphia are catching their
wind. Among others the North Phila-
delphia Real Estate Board is get
ting busy. S. c. Abernathy and. E. V.
O'Hanlon are among those charged
with seeing that the owners get a
square deal
I While no one wants to excuse
profiteering, it is pointed out that the
expenses for repairs and taxes have
increased enormously and that rentals
have not increased in proportion.
Moreover, it is said of Philadelphia
that, being a city of homes where more
of the citizens are actual owners of
the houses they occupy than in any
other city, it is not altogether fair,
because of sporadic profiteering, to
put it in the same class with city
like Washington where absentee land
lordism is fairly subject to criticism

METH0DIST'S
HOLD ELECTION
At Meetings of Cabinet,
Business of Conference
is Started.

A business session of the State
Methodist Episcopal conference was
held this morning at 8 o'clock by the
district superintendent for the pur-
pose of organization.
Rev. F. S. Hollett of Darlington
was elected secretary; Rev. w ].
Medland of Grand Forks, is financial
secretary; Rev. 7. H. Gallagher of
Grand Forks, treasurer, and Rev. D.
The major part Of the work is be-
ing done by the cabinet, consisting
Of Bishop William o. Shepard of
Wichita, Kan, and the district super
lntendents. All measures proposed
by the cabinet will be confirmed by
the conference without debate. The
cabinet is now at work with the APP
polntments and it hopes to be able
to nave arrangements for announce
ment ready for tonight or tomorrow.
No public sessions will be held, due
lie meetings. About fifty men from
the state, whom it was not possible
to reach after the order went into
effect, have arrived in the city. 20
Rev. T. III. Gallagher Oomplimented.
The members and friends of the To-
cal Methodist Episcopal church will
be glad to learn that the report sub
mitted by their pastor, Rev. Thomas
H. Gallagher, to Bishop Shepard and
his cabinet, is considered the best
report for this church in, years. It
has been an unusually profitable year
in all departments of church life.
According to the reports of Fin
ancial Secretary J. Welsh, and Treas
urer W. E. Fuller, the financial re-
port for the year just closing was
never better. The apportionment for
the benevolences. although larger
ever, has been more than met,
while the running expenses Of the
church have been paid in full, with
money left in the treasury; in other
words the local church has gone over
the top in it's local obligations and
benevolent offerings. This is a good
indication of the progress along all
other lines.
The appointment of Rev. T. Fl.
Gallagher to the position of treasurer
of the North Dakota conference is
looked upon by members of the To-
cal church as a signal honor, in rec
ognition of his splendid services to
his parish and church.
