IS GERMAN HELMETS
TO Be GIVEN AWAY
IN CARTER COUNTY
COUNTY CHAIRMAN GETS ONE As
a COMPLIMENT AND VICTORY
NOTE SELLERS THE REST.

Thirteen German helmets will be dis.
tributed in Carter county during the
Victory Liberty loan campaign. That
is the number allotted to this county
and will be shipped here just as soon
as they can be. County Chairman j.
X. Pennington will have the control Of
the distribution of these thirteen much
przed helmets Just what method he
will adopt to distribute them Is not
vet known. He win undoubtedly adopt
some democratic method such as giving
them as prizes for getting subscriptions
for the Victory loan. Watch The Ard
moreite for further Information upon
this subject. Each county chairman is
entitled to one of these helmets for his
own private property as a compliment
to him for his work.
Here is what the director of publicity
says about the helmets in a letter to
Chairman j. K. Pennington:
There will be shipped just as rap

PRICE OF PEACE" FILM
GREAT WAR EDUCATOR
American Fighters Are Shown in Ac.
tiOn in Governments Official War
Pictures for Victory Liberty Loan.

The Price Of Peace" official war
film to he shown at the Palace thsater
SUNDAY night, is now being exhibited in
many cities and towns Of the Tenth
Federal Reserve district Is attracting
more attention than any war film, due
largely TO the fact that il shows the
American ENpeditionary Forces in ac-
ton and tells better than anything else
how the victory was won.
The first report of the exhibition OF
the film came from Osborne Kan, last
Tuesday. to Mrs. George w. Fuller,
district chairman of the women's Lib
erty loan organization, and who is di.
rscting the educational propaganda,
stating that the Crystal theater there
was packed at four different showings.
"The Price of Peace" contains the
pictorial record OF the first American
attack at Chateau Thierry. and the spec
tator sees American soldiers drive back
the Germans when IL seemed almost
impossible to check their advance. This
picture also shows a spectacular air
battle in which the German aeroplane
lS NtSlTbNtut tlu lilH lul tltuldI ltd-
ture affords an opportunity to see q
German aviator i'm action. A field piece
and It's crew are shown on the screen
and a moment later il is completely
wiped out by an exploding shell from
the enemy's guns At the end Of the
picture the American soldier is regis.
tered" keeping watch on the Rhine.
Activities of the army. navy and air
forces are shown in the price OF
Peace" The American soldier is seen
from the time of his enlistment in the
service until N, crosses the Rhine. It
shows his,iraining preparatory to going
10 France, his embarkation, life on the
transport his debarkauon. and then he
is shown in actual battle for peace.
Because the men who fall are really
dead is why "The Price Of Peace" is
considered ono Of the greatest spec
tacles in the history OF motion pictures.

should be done to get this wonderful
thing for Philadelphia
Daniel Crawford, president of the
Operative Builders Association, said;
II think can say that Mr.. Curtis
wants to build something which will be
a monument to himself and a credit to
the city. and will bring back to the city
very handsomely in the way Of return.
The gentlemen have been talking about
the city retaining the title to the bed of
that street. 1t has always been my un-
derstanding that any right that comes
either under or over the bed of q high
way can be rescinded by Council.
II do not want to set myself up as an
authority on that, but feel that it is
true. The building that Mr.. Curtis pro-
poses to erect is more than a bridge
across the street. Councils have granted
in many instances the privilege Of build
ing bridges across the street or building
tunnels under the street to connect two
buildings, and in most cases that 1 know
of in this city they have been merely a
temporary affair, perhaps a steel bridge
or brick tunnel under the street. 1t
did not mean very much. If the privilege
was not resclnded It would not affect
greatly the value OF the building.
Argues for Easement
at Is not safe for Mr.. Curtis or any
being to build the permanent structure
that he proposes TO put there and not
have ownership in the bed OF that
street, and he is perfectly willing, from
what 1 understand here. to permit an
easement of the street SO that pedes-
trians would have the right and vehi-
| cles have the right forever to &c
| through. While l am not lawyer
and do not propose to set myself up as
an authority. 1 have had some expert
ence in closing streets. If 1t ever be
came necessary to dispose of those
properties I realize that that question
of title would arise. which is mighty
| important one with Mr. Curtis right
now. From the remarks I have heard
| the city of Philadelphia will retain al
that is necessary for It TO retain II
there is the agreement Incorporated ir
| this ordinance to permit of this ease.
ment I have referred to.
"Mr. Donahue has been asked as tc
| the value of what Mr.. Curtis is giving
up compared with the value the city
was giving up. While I do not set my.
self up as an expert Of that item.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-04-01

to be taken from each side, and we are
prepared to put the building back on
the new line on Chestnut street without.
of course, claiming any damages what
ever from tie city.
"The building is to be ten stories in
height, a duplicate in size, design and
construction of the present Curtis
Building, and 1t Is proposed to start
the construction of that building about
the first of tho year, or as soon as the
details can be completed.
Never Proposed to Shut street
IL want to say right here for the In
formation of those who have taken an
interest In this matter that IL has never
been proposed to shut off Sansom street
from any one wanting to 60 driving or
walking through there and look on
Independence Hall. You gentlemen. as
BUSINESS men, will realize how impossible
1t would be for the company to close
Sansom street, for the newspaper
at the highest point Of activity at
Q or o'clock in the morning, to have
this street cut off for vehicles.
II want to say further that the present
assessed valuation of this block from
Chestnut to SAMSON. sixth to Seventh,
is approximately s1,S00,000. The as
sessment of the present Curtis Build
ing, completed some years ago, Is ap-
proxmating S4.s00,000. and Il Is fair to
! assume that when this Public Ledger
Building Is completed the assessment
will perhaps run into five or six million
dollars after the large sum for cost Of
| completion Is spent.
That means. gentlemen, an Increased
assessment and consequent increased
payment of taxes to the city of Phila-
| delphia Of sum approximately $780,
600 to $150,000 year, not to mention
| the enhancing fact as to the value Of
the surrounding property. And I might
say that this has been demonstrated
by the present Curtis Building now on
the site from SAMSON to Walnut. IT
| has resulted in arresting the hand Of
deterioration. at least in value. You will
| recall that the Penn Mutual Building
was erected at the southeast corner
of Sixth and Walnut streets, I believe,
after the present Curtis Building or
after the project was made.
| THESE are the material conditions
that should affect your Judgment. But
| aside from that, we feel that It is q
menitorious request that has justifca-
tion for It. We will perhaps be the
most exclusive users of thls street for
our trucks, wagons and employees Of our
building"
John c. Martin, secretary and treas.
urer of the Public Ledger Company, rep.
resenting Cyrus H. X. Curtis, president
of the two companies, announced that al
the companies desired was the right tc
go over and under the street, however
that might be accomplished legally.
No Desire to Close Street
"rhe question of vacating SAMSON street
was suggested by the city authorities
Mr.. Martin said. II mean that Mr.. Al.
bright (chief of the Surveys Bureau)
and Mr., Datesman public Works Di,
rector) suggested it as the best way oi
accomplishing it. We have no desire tc
close up the street as stated. We dc
want the right to go over and cut under
without having to take it up each tim,
with Councils.
I'VE had no desire to put up gates
These were designed also at the sugges

ton OF tho authorities. We have no de-
sire to close Up SAMSON street, but using
1t as we do at all hours we shall keep 1t
OPEN"
Richard J. Beamlsh, directing editor Of
the Philadelphia Press. who was looked
upon as leading the opposition, was then
addressed by william e. Finley, Select
Councilman from the Thirty-ninth Ward.
1.-THE Ledger people have come here
out of fairness to state their side OF the
question" Mr.. Finley said. II do not
know who Mr.. Beamish represents, the
Press or the public. but I think Mr.
Beamish should state his side OF the
question.
There may be an objection which
Mr.. Beamish has covered up which the
Ledger people should be able to meet.
1t is out Of fairness to the philadelphia
public that Mr.. Beamish should state
his side of the question.
perhaps when there is another ordi-
nance submitted by the PUBLIC LEDGER
Mr.. Beamish may have another objec-
tion. do not like to see any two-cent
newspaper try to make capital out OF
another two-cent newspaper. It's small
town stuff"
Charles seger, Select Councilman from
the Seventh Ward. then interpolated q
question whether Mr.. Beamish would be
willing to withdraw his objections. Mr.
Beamish then said:
"I represent no one but myself. ]
would say otfhand that the vacation OF
such an important street as Sansom
street is to philadelphia is the principal
oh lection, The city should have a su-
preme right over that thoroughfare. We
apree that the PUBLIC LEDGER and the
curtis Publishing Company, for all
nroner uses of their business, should
have all the avenues they need open to
them. II is an important and beautiful
building, but take the position person
ally that the city Of Philadelphia should
reserve the supreme right to tha'
thoroughfare.
The following dialogue then took
place:
Mr.. Donahue-'T submit he is not
answering any part of Mr.. Seger's quee-
tion."
Mr.. Gaffney-'The only question is
one of control and custody of that street
to remain in the city"
Mr.. Seger-"why not answer yes OF
no? Would you, Mr.. Beamish, be satis
fed to withdraw your objection to ar
ordinance that gives them all tne piiV'
ileges they wanted, with the exception
of the vacation Of tho street?"
Mr.. Beamish-'I would personally b'
favorable to an ordinance giving then
all the rights that have here been namet
with the exception Of the vacation OF TIN
street"
William J. Campbell, Of the City His
tory Society of Philadelphia, spoke II
part as follows:
philadelphia Is noted for improve
ments. Here is ono of the greatest tina
has been heard of for many years, an'
IL 1t were necessary to give the who'll

have made a little calculation. figure
he Is giving up $500 feet on Sixth street
and 5000 feet on Chestnut street at n
value of not less than $40 foot, or
soc, 900, and II he were to go Into court
and claim damages his damages would
be three times that. IL you give him
Sansom street you give $4,000 square
feet. think a fair price for SAMSON
street. located as 1t is, would be not over
s5 a foot, or $4,000.
1T am using those figures merely as
a comparison. SAMSON street is not
worth over 25 per cent of the value of
the frontage of Chestnut street and
sixth street--make the figures anything
you like. Mr.. Curtis is giving to the
city just as much in value OF real
ground as he Is getting back
Arnold w. Drummer. architect of the
new building, said:
"Of course It would be impossible to
close SAMSON street physically to build
the building and preserve the Curtis
Building. Nobody's idea for minute.
1t could not be done without running
the whole property. What Is necessary
is to have the privilege to put bridges
here and there, as the business OF these
two great institutions increases, so that
they can connect one building with the
other II is also necessary for their
business to connect SAMSON street and
have certain rights under the roadway
which, of course, won't hurt anybody.
As I understood 1t from Mr.. Roberts.
from the engineer, the way to secure
those advantages was to ask for the
vacation of the street, legal term / do
not understand.
Not Asking for Damages
"These two buildings with these two
great egresses will free SAMSON street
as it has never been freed before, and
we are giving space on all sides, even
on Chestnut street where we are going
back beyond your legal line and asking
| no damages"
! Louis C. Block, of the Philadelphia
| Automobile Trade Association, said:
Just few words. In the first place
| we have talked of the increased revenue
from taxes, the improvement that the
building would be to the city and the
improvement OF the locality, of public
enterprise and so on. To my way OF
thinking these things are a seconda ry
consideration. We have no objection tc

down to the fact whether the public has
