GERMAN CAT HERE BAD EGG
Pussy Brought From Fatherland
Loses Howl by Practcing Vandalism

The first German prisoner to reach
Philadelphia from the fields of France
is a cat which was taken prisoner in
the first German trench that fell into
the hands of Seventy ninth Division.
Private John Moriarity captured the
animal and naming it Fritz brought
it to his home, $50 Wynnewood street,
but his mother, finding that there was
uc way to keep the cat from exhibiting
German characteristics, presented it to
the Animal Rescue League, "a South
Eighteenth street.
Fritz" took a peculiar delight, while
under the care of the Moraritys. in
trespassing nightly on the property of
his neighbors. To tear up the flowers
in nearby garden or to dig up the
sprouting vegetables in patches dill
gently fostered by neighboring farmer
cites was as dear to his feline heart
as the sacking of Belgium or the pill
laying of northern France was to his
compatriots.
As Mrs. Moriarity is not woman
to waste words with German, she dis
patched Fritz" to the Animal Rescue
League. An effort will be made tc
make the animal see and correct the
error of its ways.

Wires and Strike Menace

Washington, July 3. Thy \. Pl-
Postmaster General BurlcSon today is
sued this statement in connection with
the termination of the strike of Com
mercial photographers
1.-The truth is there has been no
strike. It failed from the moment it
was called because the operators. re-
sprcting the broad policy of the wire
control board relative to employees and
recognizing that strikes were not per
missible dL!ing the period Of govern
mental control. refused to respect the
order To strike.
This attempt at a strike thoroughly
justities the postmaster general in his
attitude assumed at the beginning of
governmental control, that all employees
We're to be treated with absolute Justice
and fairness, regardless of whether they
did or did not belong to labor organizu
tiOns. and that no discrimination was
to be practiced against those who be
IOngcd to such organizations aud that
they would be fully protected in their
rights so to do.

port Of U. S. in Absorbing

Washington. July 3.-The league of

Kite of high finance, according to Sena =
tor Edge. of New Jersey. who is formu
lating a bill for the absorption of for
cign securities in exchange for American
supplies. He denies that the govern
mcnt will undcrwrite or guarantee the
corporation organized to this end.
Nothing but the moral support of the
government is sought he insists.
1t has been declared by Senators
Borah md Knox that the International
bankers of New York are seeking TO
commentaries the league of nations and
under its protection exploit Europe.
''rhe only reason why this contem :
plated bill for foreign financing has not
yet been introduced said Senator
Edge. lis because we are seeking the
best method to preclude government in =

the same time to make it n plan of such
real intrinsic value that the government
will be glad to lend its moral support.
Big business is no more interested,
proportionately, in the plan that little
business.
The foreign finance plan, as it now
is taking shape. contemplates this

WHAT CAUSED 1T?
Was It Heat or Thirst or Both? Big
Problem!

Did Americans indulge in a water
dcbauche on the first day of July? Or
did the hot weather make them parti-
cularly thirsty?
New York City reports that its in
habtants stuck exceptionally close to
its water pitchers all day. In fact the
chief statistician Of the Water Depart
ment Bureau there goes 50 far as to
present figures to prove his point. For
June 80. the official figures for the
water consumed show 637 ,OOO, 900 gal
Ions, and on the first of July, 66O 900,
600 gallons. which any mathematician
will tell you. is an increase of 23 900,
600 gallons.
But Philadelphia isn't quite SO sure.
Carlton +. Davis. chief of the Bureau
of Water, declared, when queried on the
subject. that although figures are only
available here once week. he had no
doubt that an increase would be shown.
But he added. this might just
as well. and probably is. caused by the
hot wave which has been increasing
every day. Hot weather alwsy in :
creases the consumption of water
