WILL 1--WE COMFORT KITS.

Because Of limited room on the
transports the Army has now barred
comfort kits from the personal bag
gage Of soldiers. However, since
these have furnished such real
comfort and pleasure to our boys,
the American Red Cross is arranging
for as large freight shipments of these
as possible to be distributed through
Its Foreign Commissions. For these
have made universal appeal. One big
burly soldier boy was as pleased as
punch over some simple puzzle that
had been slipped into the bag he drew.
Still another instance Is told Of q
soldier boy who came from the trench
covered with CRIME and dirt and with
not even as much as a toothbrush In
his possession. When he was handed
a comfort kit with comb, brush and
even a toothbrush his Joy knew no
bounds, and he immediately made q
mental allotment from his next pay
day TO 20 to the American Red Gross,
which had proved hts friend in his
hour Of need. s

first thought was to express her grati-
tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives Of
millions Of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at oil
to take thought for the food needs Of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem IL she Is
given ccess to shipping and Is enabled
to distribute food TO the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal. all Of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet Immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most Of Russia is already In the
throes of famine, and 100000 people
there are beyond the possibility Of
help. Before another spring thou
sands of them inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re.

BUSY REVOLVERS HIT NOBODY
Empty Wagon Serves as Barri.
cade in Street Battle

After half hour battle at Lombard
and Darien streets, in which fusillade
of shots was fired and clubs and fists
were subsequently used, Philip johnson,
a negro, who recently arrived here from
Georgia, was arrested by Patrolman
Randolph and Lawrence Viscount, a
night watchman. Before he was sub
dued johnson climbed into a wagon,
which he used as a barricade. and from
which he fired five shots at the patrol
man and Waterman.
johnson was halted shortly after mid
night by Viscount as he walked along
Lombard street twirling revolver The
watchman ordered johnson to surrender
the weapon. The negro refused, and. as
Vscount closed in on him, he fired
pointblank at his face. The watchman
drew his revolver and returned the fire.
johnson ran toward Darien street, FIR
ing another shot as he fled.
There he climbed into an empty wagon.
Meantime Randolph appeared and with
the night watchman essayed to rush
the wagon. Johnson fired five more
shots at the two men before they Crap
pied with him. A hand to hand melee
followed, during which all three or the
combatants suffered bruises and cuts.
johnson was taken to the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital for treatment after the
fight and was removed subsequently to
the Twelfth and Pine streets station.

TRY TO HARMONIZE
ON CITY FUNDS PLAN
Get Together Is Slogan of
Experts in Budget
Tangle

Daily conferences are being held by
city officials and others interested in
obtaining a revised budget system Of
municipal financing. City Solicitor
Connellys office has been the scene of
a number Of the get-together efforts.
Chairman GaffRey. of Councils Finance
Committee, and others are scheduled for
further conference tomorrow.
The suggestion to shorten the period
from five to two years as basis of
striking an average estimate of a sue
ceeding years income has started dis
cussion. During the last five years the
excess of revenues shows quite a diver
gence of figures and It Is to permit a
closer estimate that the shortening of
the term has been suggested. The ex-
cess amounts each year were used al
most entirely to meet deficiencies, so the
differences were not actually as great
as the figures show.
Opposition has also developed to a
change from a cash to a revenue basis
for computing the estimated revenues
for succeeding years. The present plan
for using loan funds early in the year
to finance current obligations has proved
satisfactory to city financiers,r and the
revision plan to disturb this method Is
meeting with opposition at the hands
of a number of the conferees.
Whether the provisions of either of
the two measures can be passed in their
entirety Is a question for the Legisla-
ture. Stories of a compromise have been
abroad for weeks, but have been denied
by those interested in passing the char
ter revision bill as it was submitted,
including the financing scheme advo-
Gated by the Bureau of Municipal Re-
search. ....-.

DENY DISCRIMINATION
IN FARES TO SHORE
Atlantic City Nearer and En-
titled to Lower Rate, Rail
Official Says

r. ]. DeLong, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road said today that the new railroad
fare schedule between Philadelphia and
South Jersey resorts, effective yesterday,
do not favor Atlantic City against Wild
wood. Cape May and other resorts on
the Jersey shore.
Hotelkeepers and business men in
Wildwood, Cape May, Ocean City and
Sea Isle, protesting against the boost in
the price of one-way tickets, charge that
Atlantic City is favored by railroad
officials.
Mr. DeLong denies these charges and
to sustain his position pointed to the
distances between Philadelphia and the
various resorts
''The distance to Atlantic City," said
Mr.. DeLong," Is n trine more than
fifty-nne miles, while the mileage to
Cape May is more than eghty-two. Wild
wood is seventy-nine and a fraction.
For years the railroads. in order to
aid the more distant resorts, applied
virtually the same tourist rates that
prevailed for Atlantic City, but last
year when the railroad administration
faced the problem of greater revenues, 1t
became necessary to increase the price or
tourist or what are known as round-
trip tickets The price of these tickets,
good for seventeen days between Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City, was increased
to SO, while the rate between Philadel-
phia, Cape May and wildwood was fixed
at $3.50. a..
"When you figure the great difference
in the mileage between these resorts II
can be seen that Cape May and Wild
wood received very fair treatment
Mr. DeLong asserted that II Wild
wood, Cape May and other South Jersey
resorts enjoyed a winter tourist busi-
ness the railroads would not suspend
the so-called tourist ticket schedule OH
September 80.
Those resorts do not enjoy winter
tourist business" said the Pennsylvania
official, land from September 80 until
May Is are classed with ordinary COM
mercial or residential communities. That
means that nothing but ,one-way tickets
are sold and on the basis Of three cents
per mile. That is the universal rate
of fare"
Railroad administration officials in
Washington have promised to make an
investigation of the South Jersey pro-
test and adjust schedules, II the in
vestigation discloses that distant resorts
are being subjected to discrimination.
