and largely the Christian people, will
rise in righteous indignation against
the militaristic Imperialism Of the au-
tocratic empire of Japan.
1T Is not our desire to disturb the
friendly relations of the United States
with other powers. Our people do not
want the United States to fight for
korea's Independence. for they will do
all the fighting themselves. But we
do ask the people of America to give
us a sympathetic and fair hearing of
our case. We do ask the same moral
support which America gave to Japan
when the latter WAS struggling against

in the Far East the honor and pres
tigs of the American flag, the emblem

No Confidence In japan.
Anyone who understands the pol H.
cal situation OF Japan at present will
have no confidence in Japan's promise
OF civil reforms in Korea 1t Is abso-
lutely impossible for the Japanese gov
ernment to introduce any appreciahIe
amount of reform in Korea without
cndanger1ng the very foundation Of
Iapan's rule in that country The
withdrawal of her military force from
the peninsula means the withdrawal
OF her entire possession In that land
The suspension of any of her suppress
sive measures means an incentive to
the Independence spirit Of the Koreans
An old Korean, saying OF a man
riding on tiger may well illustrate
Japan's military position in the Far
East He who is on a tiger will have
to remain where he Is or else he will
be devoured up by the tiger. Japan
cannot come down from the height
Of her military power and be safe in
Korea All the Japanese promises for
reform mean nothing moro than the
usual face-saving diplomacy. Our peo-
pie have no confidence in those prom
ises. nor do they care for the reform.
The best way for Japan to save her
face is to get right out from Korea
and turn the country over to its legiti-
mate owners. the Korean people"

that 2500 bartenders, most of them

Before Mr.. Ford had been asked n
question he was temporarily excused
and Wcighmouth Kirkland, Tribune
lawyer. took the stand and was exam

report of testimony of General Weaver

The purpose was to refute the statement

advertisement quoting General Weaver
as saying that the coast defense sysSm
was adequate.

The Tribune lawyer. by following
General Weavcr's testimony further

MT GRETNA BATTLE
SPOILED BY RAIN
Annual Maneuvers Are Disap-
pointing Climax to Week
OF Training
BREAK CAMP TOMORROW

Special Dispatch to Evening Public Ledger.
Camp Major Marshall Henderson,
MT. Gretna. Pa. July 1S.-Disgusted
is the only word that expresses the feel
ings and sentiments of officers and
men of the Pennsylvania reserve mill =
ftia today. This was to have been the
big day of the week, the occasion of
the spectacular maneuvers to perfect
hicwh everybody had ben studying and
training since they came here, and it
was all gummed up by showers, the
third day to be thus spoiled.
An attempt was made this afternoon
to put the fight across, but 1t lacked
pep, for the details had to be curtailed
and conditions throughout were anything
but conducive to demonstration Of
the war lessons sought to be illus
trated.
Under the terms of the war game
planned by the army instructors. Col
onel John NJ. Croft and his First In
fantry. together with two battalions of
the Second Infantry, in command of
Colonel Serling f. w. Eyer, with cav
airy and machine gun auxiliaries, were
sent into the Conewago valley as a
Blue army to rout n Red force. The
Reds were reported as guarding
heavy stores at Concwago. the main
proposition of the Blues" being to cap
ture thel supplies. Colonel Franklin
Blackstone. with his Third Infantry
and detachments of cavalry and ma =
chine guns. proved to be "the enemy. y
Umpires on each side watched eagerly
the movements of officers and men in
carrying out plans to effect their op-
posing purposes. There was nothing
cut and dried about the movement of
troops. Officers were left entirely to
their own initiative in devising strategy
and artifice to circumvent the others
plans. In spite Of curtailments the
maneuvers were instructive.

That is my personal view Mr..
Elliott answered.
This latter discussion hinted that
the anti Ware forces outwitted the
Wares when they put through the as
sessmcnt clause in the Council section
of the charter bill.
Mr.. Woodruff then stated that the
people of Philadelphia had generally ac-
cepted the Council of twenty one mem
bers. and he asked how important it
was that the board of commissioners
cut down the representation in any one
district.

The reason for the rejection is that

suppose the words personal magne

about that the situation as to the Sc
lection of mayoralty candidates has
made no progress.
There is another reason. Both sides
are jockeying. The Independents will
hold off as long as possible to see whom
the Ware people will name. The Ware
leaders are doing the same in spite of the
defiant assertion that they don't give
Il .Lnt
In the very inner circles for the last
two days there has been n persistent
rumor that. although his friends are
active and earnest. A. Lincoln Acker
will not be. when it comes to the test,
a candidate for Mayor.
Some days ago I mentioned the fact
that his friend and neighbors were ar
ranging for a spectacular demonstra
tion that would force him to declare
himself as a candidate of the independ
ent or Penrose forces. When it is held
il will be one of the finest tributes to
a public man that the upper end of the
city has ever seen. Mr.. Acker is great
ly beloved-the words are used advised
ly-by hundreds of friends and neigh
bors. He has a deep hold on their
affections, but in spite of it all. if the
inside stories run true, Mr.. Acker will
not be candidate.
Objections Are Made
BY the same token two other gen =
tlemen whose names have been very
prominently mentioned on the regular
organization or Ware side will be un-
ostentatiously sidetracked. 1t is nc
fault of theirs. Tentatively they are
candidates. But | understand that OBJ
jections have been filed by objectors
who are powerful in their own party
| against their candidacy.
1t is the collective force of the above
conditions that has put the mayoralty
situation into such a state of uncer
tainty. In the matter of candidates il
is a game of button, button, whose
got a candidate?'

Mr.. Scott then contended that II the
committee Of seventy's petitions, which
he termed illegal and defective. were
accepted by the commissioners then the
commissioners should grant time for
hearing and, when an answer is filed
to the petition. give the man an op-
portunity to appear personally and show
he is still n resident Of that district
Mr.. Scott then criticized the use OF
the term qualified voter" in the char.
ter bill. The bill states that strike
off petition must be signed by n ''qual-
flied voter" Mr.. Scott said that may
mean a qualified voter anywhere in the
state, adding that the bill should specify
a qualified voter in the district in which
the name is to be stricken from the
lists.

other day by him to the effect that the
strike off petitions were prepared by

said he did not refer at that time to
