On tha ground where one Of his an

After defining the by products of war

that must be weeded out of American

Wares Hope to Strip
Toga From Penrose
Effort to Defeat Moore for
Philadelphia Mayoralty
a Test of Strength
NetU York Tribune
WUohi,.Ufo,o p,,

" u-'HlHgtOR bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug 24-The out
come of the fight for the Mayoralty of
Philadelphia may result in candi-
date being brought out in Pennsyl-
vania by the Wares against Senator
Boles Penrose. it was learned here TO-
day.
Representative J. Hampton Moore,
who is being backed for Mayor by
Senator Penrose, is thinking of re-
signing to push his fight. In case
Mr.. Moore is defeated, it is believed,
the Wares will follow up their victory
with new attack on Senator PEN
rose.
The fight on Senator Penrose by
the Wares has been on since the Ware
machine, which ruled Philadelphia for
years, ran up against the charter re-
form bills champoned by Senator Pen
rose. The entrance Of Representative
Moore as the reform candidate under
the new municipal acts is understood
to have accentuated the desire of the
Wares to "get back" at Senator Pen
rose.

feet. but turn our faces to the future
with the resolution that we are going
forward on social and industrial ques-
tions, not backward. We must set as
our ideal condition by which all the
citizens Of this country create for
themselves q vested interest OF some
kind. Then we will never be in danger
of bad national upset. We have got
as many battles to fight in the next dec
ade in this country as we fought in
the last two years and we must fight
with clear head and steadfast hand"
The beneficial by-products of the
war, so far rs this country is con-
cerrcd, according to Colonel Roosevelt
were Cd its democratizing effect; (2)
the spirit Of service it engendered;
(3) its impulse toward Americaniza-
ton. Under the first heading he gave
some personal touches Of his own CAM
paign experience when he had walters,
chauffeurs, city editors and financiers
working harmoniously under him. He
urged that the understanding, SYM
be preserved, now that the war was
over.
Speaking Of the spirit of service that
was developed during the war; Colonel
Roosevelt said: Before this war there
was a good deal of talk as to what the
country owed each man. Now we have
a different idea and think in terms of
what We owe our country.
Whether We served in Europe or at
home we put something into the United
States. We have bought a share of
stock in our country by rendering SER
vice, and we are interested in seeing
that it is run right"
Declaring the third by-product of
war to be Americanization Colonel
Roosevelt said members of the army,
navy and marine corps were strong
nationalists now, rather than weak in
ternationalists. The German-American
has become the American of German
extraction; the Irish American, the
American of Irish extraction; the Ital-
inaAmerican, the American of Italian
extraction. America was written in
capital letters by all of them, he said,
and those who served in the war--no
matter what they had been before
were now 100 per cent natonalists.
Those were the impulses generated by
the war that should be preserved, said
Colonel Roosevelt

Months Spent
raining Girls

These things are ell being remedied
out the process is slow. The tele-
phone company cannot go into the
market and hire operators must
take green girls and spend months
training them. The putting in of a
switchboard and there is a great
amount Of switchboard capacity needed
is also shown. 1t takes nearly a
year to build board-there are nearly
3,UUO,OOO wire connections to be made
on each one-and as much longer to in
stall it. But. the telephone company
officials are confident that there will
continue to be improvements; that the
service will be markedly better by fall,
and approximately normal within a
year.
They have increased the number of
operators by more than 1000 from the
low point of 1918. At present they are
adding 125 week to the force, and are
within about 1000 of staff that will
be normal in size, and will become
more nearly normal in efficiency with
each passing week
They have increased the pay for be-
ginners from SO to S12 a week, and are
receiving more applications than their
training school can handle, although
they have raised its capacity from 289
to 500.
They have brought some 400 skilled
operators from upstate, from Wash
ington and the army camps as fast as
they could get them away from the
government.
They have spent about $1,000 900 on
increased equlmcnt since January /, as
a start on a $26,000,O00 building pro-
gramme that will be completed by
July l, 1920-nearly twice as much as
The city is to spend on new schools in

7 The shortage of girl labor. This
H. has forced the company to relax
the physical standards formerly in
sisted on and to accept girls less fitted
by nature for the work. 1t also made
1t impossible, especially during tho
time the war industries were crying
for girls, to fill up the gaps in the
force of operators.
y A decline in girl efficiency. This
A~s is caused partly by the general
unrest following the war, partly by the
fact that the operators have been under
heavy overstrain for many months, and
know besides that because If the I'M
possibility of getting skilled operators
to put in their places the company
will not dismiss them without extreme
prOvOcation.

usually falls Off fifth during the sum
