credit for its adoption. or because you
may suppose that his party may gain

reasons for supporting or opposing the
league. The question is, will it do good
for this country or mankind? If it will
let's favor it. If it cndangers our coun-

oppose it, but lets base our action and
our views on high and patriotic rea

of the league of nations from that
standpoint. | do not doubt that the
great majority of the people of the
United States. and the needed ma aiority
of the senators Of the United States
will approve this league.

MILLION FOR FACULTY
IN BRYN MAWR ASKED
College Starts Campaign to
Raise Funds in Order to In
crease Teachers Salaries

A campaign to raise 81 ZOO. 900 in
order to pay its teachers living wage.
has been started by Bryn Mawr College.
In an appeal sent out today by rep
rcscntatives of tho faculty, board of
directors and the Alumnae Association
it is pointed out. that the salaries of
teachers at the college range from a
minimum of $1,000 TO a maximum of
$1,000.
1t is announced that since the open
ing of the college in 1855 salaries of
full professors have advanced only 20
per cent and of associate professors %
per cent, while the cost of living since
that time has increased at least 90 per
cent.
The appeal reads. in part:
"A decent degree of comfort. which
is manifestly necessary in order that
teachers may devote their best energies
to professional work, is unattainable on
the present salary. This year number
of the full professors have had to give
up their houses and some have had to
use their savings or borrow money in
order to live.
ihe pieseht Sdidrl'S prevent many
men and women who are best qualified
for teaching from entering the profes-
sion. Bryn Mawr College, as well as
other institutions of learning in this
country, must now begin to recruit fac
uties from among those of inferior
ability.
"A gift of 100000 will cndow Il
chair. with the right to attach name
to it as a memorial or bencfaction
Smaller sums can be commemorated in
various ways

S294,4O MORE ASKED
FOR CITY SUPPLIES
Director MacLaughlin Says
That Money Is Needed to Garry
Department Until Year Ends
HAD s4,0oo,0oo BUDGET

Joseph S. Mclaughlin, director oi
supplies. asked Councils today for an
additional $294,4Q0 to defray the ex-
penses of his department until the end
Of the year.
The department of supplies is now
running on an appropriation of more
than 81 900 900 for the year, the big
gest sum ever voted to that department
for yearly expenses.
Other departments also requested ad
ditional funds over their original ap
propriations. Directors Datesman, OF
public works, asked for the re- cstab
lishment of thirty five positions in the
bureau of surveys, which were done
away with because of war conditions
during 1918.
The positions included are those of
craftsmen, assistant engineers, rod =
men, chainmen and clerks, and their re =
newal is absolutely necessary if the new
work contemplated by the bureau is to
be carried out, the director says. The
maintenance of the positions until the
end of the year will cost 500. 1926, and
an appropriation to meet this is also
asked.
Director Webster, wharves. docks and
ferries, requests increases for five stenog
raphers, the superintendent of boats
and number of others in his jurisdic
ton. Director Wilson, public safety,
asked for $4,000 to purchase additional
equipment for the electrical bureau.
Judge j. Willis Martin presented n
request that Councils approve the lcas
ing by the city of the aviation grounds
at Essington. The city now has a lease
on the grounds, and Frank Mills, an
aviator, conducts a school there. He
pays the city nominal annual rental
Of $500. Judge Martin says the city
should encourage the study of aviation
in this vicinity by continuing to support
the Essington field. The register of
wills asked for several increases.
All these measures were referred to
the finance committee of Councils for
constellation.
The big appropriation asked by Di-
rector MacLaughlin is divided into three
importsut requests. One is for an ad =
ditonal 100000 for the purchase of
coal; one for S75. 900 to purchase hard E
ware and one for an additional $40 900
for the purchase of rubber goods. The
remainder of the 1904 400 is to be
spent for incidental necessities.

Not a Partisan Question

This is not a partisan question. We
should be for or against the league
without respect to whether we are
Democrats or Republicans. We should
be for or against the league without re
gard TO whether we think it will bring
credit to our party or credit to any
man. Personal and partisan considera-

should have no influence with us in
determining an issue SO fateful in the
worlds history and so likely to affect
the future welfare of the people of the

When, therefore, you come to consider
