CLERGYMEN TO
TRAVEL AT HALF
RATE JANUARY |
Ruling Changed by Federal
Administration For Bene-
fit of Ministers

Everything is being made ready by
passenger officials of the Pennsylvania
Ind Philadelphia 6 Reading railroads
for putting into effect the special
travel rates for members of the
clergy, effective January 1. Tor the
first time for several years, ministers
in Pennsylvania will be able to travel
at less than full travel rates as a re-
rult of the recent ruling of the Fed
eral Railroad Administration.
Agitations have been started sew
eral times since the abolition of the
special rates to have concessions
made to the clergy, but the plans have
always failed. One time the arrange
ment had gotten as far as the Public
Service Commission. but was not per-
mitted to stand as being entirely out
cf accord with Pennsylvania law.
Under the new ruling, clergy. but
not members of their families, will he
permitted to travel at one-half the
usual travel rate. They will be COM
pelled to pay full rates for travel in
parlor cars and sleeping cars. Only
the mere travel rate is included and
the special rate is granted only FRO
viding the ministers have no other
occupation.
Tickets will be sold to ministers
when application is made on a cou-
pom, issued by the Federal Railroad
administration. Three offices have
been established for the distribution
of these coupons. Ministers in Penn
sylvania will secure the coupons, 100
in a booklet. at the cost of 81, from
the Eastern division offices, which are
located in New York City. Applica-
tion blanks for the issue of the spe-
cial clergy fare certificates may be
secured by any ordained minister
from his nearest passenger agent.

British Admiralty to
Crush Out BOIshevism
From Germany's Fleet

Amsterdam, Dec. 27.-The British
Admiralty is prepared to take dras-
tic measures against the propagation
of Bolshevism in that part of the
German fleet remaining in German
hands, according to a Berlin dis
patch to-day. The sinking of vessels
displaying the red flag and the eX-
ecution of crews infected with Boil
shevism is threatened, it is declared.
The order attributed to the British
Admiralty reads:
Vessels under the red flag will
be sunk without warning. Vessels
without officers will be dealt with
in accordance with the laws of war.
If a single man is caught propagat-
ing Bolshevik ideas the entire crew
of the vessels in question will be
shot"

secure the service record of each
and every Pennsylvania soldier, no
matter how he entered the United
States service.
A war service record blank will
be printed in all newspapers
throughout the state and answers to
questions contained thereon will fur
nish a brief but complete history of
each and every sailors or soldiers
record in the war.
The plan of Camp Dix provides
for the obtaining of the facts from
friends and. relatives because of the
great number of Pennsylvania men
who enlisted voluntarily and whose
names in consequence are not pos
sessed by the draft boards. Many
Pennsylvanians also fought through
the war in the Allied armies. I'm
less these names are furnished from
other sources the roll of PennsylYa-
MIA heroes compiled by the state will
not include them. But, regardless
of whether the men gave service
through voluntary enlistment in the
United States or Allied armies or en-
tered the army through draft Sc
lection, the War History Commits
sion desires all names.
When the war service record blank
appears in the newspapers, relatives
or friends Of every man who entered
the service are urged to clip it out.
fill in the information, and forward
it to the War History Commission.
BY so doing they will be honoring the
men who so nobly sustained the
reputation of the state in the great
war.

was filed to-day by the Rev. Mar
shall V. McDuffie. a clergyman, in
the Court of Chancery here against
the city of Asbury Park.
The minister lives opposite an AS
bury Park school, built since he es-

that because the pupils use the pub

drills and play noisy games, he is SO
disturbed that he cannot prepare the
sermons from which he says he
earns some of the money with which
he supports his family. The school
children's noises, he describes as
