MRS. OAKLEY LAYS
CRUELTY TO BEER
Declares Constant Use Of Alco-
hol Led to Atrocities
by Germans

Constant use of beer by the Germans
has made them cruel, according to Mrs.
1mogen B. Oakley. of the Gladstone,
who is prominent in civic betterment
movements.
In a discuss Jon Of the subject she
said that while the amount of alcohol
in one glass of beer may be small. the
constant use of the beverage every day
for generations can hardly fail to pro
duce an alcoholized race. Mrs. Oakley
said:
The experience of the university stu
dents who drank beef steadily for a
whole day and did not get drunk is es-
pecially interesting in the light of a
recent magazine article by Harvard
professor. This professor is seeking a
reasonable explanation of the cruelty
of the German people--a cruelty that
seems to be innate, since it has shown
itself not only in the treatment of the
Belgians, French and other victims OF
national shreckichkeit. but in the treat
ment the people accord to each other.
eve have abundant testimony of the
cruelty of the army officers to their men
and of the men to one another, and the
high percentage of suicides among Ger
man children seems ample proof OF
cruelty or cruel misunderstanding in
schools and families

Lucky for Two Serseants That
Abundant Foliage Was Near

Floating gently down the stream
the Delaware to be exact-are two suits
of clothes belonging to police sergeants.
The clothing is in motorboat which
may now be somewhere ner the Atlantic.
The raiment belongs to Sergeants Jo-
seph II. Hilegas and Thomas F. Burke
of the Fourth and York streets station.
They had an afternoon off yesterday
: and went swimming in Rancocas creek
Just where it emptied into the Della =

was anchored nearby.
Neither of the sergeants believe that
the boat was stolen by aquatic motor

the boat had entirely disappeared when
they returned to their swimming base.
The men swan ashore and took
shelter in trees near the waters edge
From the friendly foliage, which for
tunately was abundant, they hailed a
farmer who loaned the men two suits
belonging to farm hands. If any pass

Union officials claim there are still
a large number of Postal telegraphers

state striking employees with continuity
of service on condition that they would
return to work yesterday did not meet
with much enthusiasm among the strk
