SAFETY FIRST HITS
CORK LEG MAKERS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 2s.-The
"safety-frst" propaganda with which
this city has been bombarded for the
last two years has caused q remark
able decrease In street and Industrial
accidents. according to the various
artificial limb manufacturers. They
place street car accidents as 80 per
cent less for the last two years than
those in 1915 and 1915.
Due to safety instruction by the in
suFance companies in the mills and
factories, accidents there are but half
as numerous as was formerly the case
when warnings were disregarded and
dangerous faachi1ery left exposed.
Automobile accidents resulting IN
amputation OF limbs are as frequent
as ever, but as three times the num-
ber OF motor-driven vehicles are on
the streets OF Philadelphia today as
were run in 1915. a real improvement
Is evidenced there also.

which we all claim as ours and which
we love SO we'll, is in itself a peculiar
distinction. The circumstances that
prompt this action have their founda-
tion on foreign battlefields, where
American manhood gloriously fought
for the principles Of right and JUS
tice.
To-day our minds are filled with
the thrilling incidents of these fields.
Eager to serve the cause, filled with
confidence in their own superiority,
our young American army passed out
through your gates on their way to
their mission across the seas. Your
enthusiasm for them and the warm
hospitality you gave them and your
godspeed as they sailed away added
new courage to their task.
when they returned home the VIC
torlous welcome of your people has
spoken louder than words the graft
tude Of the nation for duty we'll
done.
:, New York city's part in the war
has been great one. Your patriotic
sons, all of your citizens have gen.
erously contributed funds for the
comfort of their boys, and the coun-
try has always relied on your pa
triotism to carry through the coun-
try's loans triumphantiy.
"New York City's attitude has
been accepted everywhere, at home
and abroad, as that of the whole
people, and your acts have always en-
couraged the Allies and have always
disheartened the enemy. Out of
your patriotism, your support and
your confidence in our success there
has grown up between the people Of
this city and our citizen army a
mutual affection that makes for bet
ter citizenship, and affection tn; t
will grow with time and become a
lasting souvenir in the hearts of all
those that learn to know and love
you.
Your honor, dare not trust my
self to express in this presence my
personal feelings and can only say
to you and through you to the peo-
pie of the City of New York that l
thank you from the bottom of my
heart for myself and for those whom
I REPRESENT"

sion Won its first memorable victory
and gave a new lease Of life to our
wearied allies. Then followed the
sangulnary encounters at Chateau
Thicrry and Scissors, where the Of
fenslve was wrested from the enemy.
In quick succession followed the
glorous victories at Champagne and
st. Mlhlel, and the final overthrow
OF the enemy in the historically
decisive battle of the Argonne.. The
dramatic climax came on Christmas

at was then that the triumphant
First Division entered Cobenz to
occupy German territory, with the
glittering emblem Of our country's
glory proudly swapping in the wind.
And SO the First Division set I'D
another milo-post in our nations
history to take its place with York
town, Lundy's Lane. Chapultepec,
Gettysburg and San Juan Hill.
Our hearts are at once filled with
pride and admiration as we contem-
plate the American expeditionary
forces at whole, an army of almost
three million men, of all classes, for
the most part unaccustomed to army
life and standards, who with only
few months of intensive training
were welded into legion of trained
warriors, and who, when finally sum
moned to the field Of battle, astounded
the world with their unparalleled
courage and military efficiency, and
transmitted to posterity message
OF une&led devotion and sublime
valor. These heroes have returned to
US laurel crowned, with solderly
bearing, better physically, morally
and spiritually, and with keeener
appreciation of our American institu-

treasure.
I'VE cannot thus eulogize our brave
