"You cant fool Americans any more

Before our 5000, 900 American sol

''they had grown quite used to hear

European civilization set high above our
own civilization. But their stay in
Europe has dissipated all that.
THE American boys-not boys only
mind you. but plenty of physicians, law

CAMDEN RIDERS WILL
BENEFIT BY ZONE FARE
Councilman Abbott Says Sub
urbanites Must Pay Bulk Of
Increase Under New Plan

Application of the Public Service
Railway Company for a new zoning
system which will increase the trolley
rates in New Jersey fs looked upon by
Councilman Abbott as distinct ad-
vantage for Camden riders. The Pub
lie Utility Commission is expected
shortly to announce it's decision on the
application. at Newark.
Under the new system. Camden gets
the advantage" said Mr.. Abbott. chair
man of the trolley committee for the
city. The new rate allows two miles for
five cents in the city of Camden and two
cents mile for each additional mile.
The bulk of Camden riders live within
the two-mile radius. and the suburban e
ties are the ones who will have to pay
the higher rate
In former application for increased
rates the company asked permission to
establish n rate of five cents for the
first mile in the city of Camden and one
cent a mile for each additional mile. Tht
Public Utility Commission at Trenton
made no decision on this application
In the meantime, the second coming plan
was submitted.
The application was made by Thoma,
n. McCarter. president of the corpora
ton, who explained that increascc
revenue is necessary because of tn,
recent award of fifty five cents an hou
to the trolleymen by the War Labol
Board. This award will mean an in
crease in the company's payrolls, h,
says, amounting to one and half mil
lion dollars a year.
If the latest increase is granted, sub
urbanites who would have paid six cent,
under the rates established in the frs
application will pay seven cents, ant
those who would have paid seven cent.
will pay nine cents.
On the other hand, many persons
living in the city of Camden who woulc
have paid six cents under first zonn,
system will have to pay but five cent
under the second zoning plan.

VARE COLOR IS SEEN
IN MOOSE MEETING
Progressive Leaders Not Salts
fled With Spirit Of Harrisburg
Session Yesterday
CARSON ASSAILS PURPOSE

Results of the progressive" confer
ence at Harrisburg arc not altogether
satisfying to those of real independent
political spirit.
Doubts as to the sincerity of the
movement were expressed today by those
who took a peep under the surface Of
the so called reform within the Repub-
lican party plan inangurated by Clifford
linchot yesterday.
Presence of many Ware officcholders
and followers generally at the meet
ing lends color to suspicion that the
movement may be merely a trading
arrangement by which the Wares can
obtain the progressive votes at the
primary. and by way of reciprocity
throw their strength to Mr.. Pinchot
should he again decide to enter the
fight for the United States senatorship.
Another T. r. Wanted
Announcement had been made that the
purpose of the conference was to aid
in bringing about the nomination of n
Republican who would uphold the poll
cics of the late Theodore Roosevelt.
liul HlolS "ltH inc regular hppuDllCaIS
was advocated, if possible.
Many present said it was strange
coincidence that prcpondcrance of
Ware followers had been invited. while
none known to be inclined Pcnrose
ward were present.
The Ware Bull Moosers emphatically
deny that there was any discrimina
ton. Several pointed out that they were
aligned with the progressive movement
when it started and came to the meet =
| ing as real progressives.
Pioneer Bull Moosers Ignored
John J. Crout one of the pioneers
of the progressive movement in Phila
delphia; Samuel Crothers, Magistrate
Robert Carson and others were not con
sidcrcd on the somewhat exclusive in
vitation list.
But Judge Carson went to the meet
ing anyhow and aired his views They

Mr.. Carson could not be squelched. He
and several others asserted that many
well known independents had been ig
nored, which action Carson said did
not fit in with the announcement that
the meeting was to be wide open.
Objection was also made by the
Judge" and others to the resolution
offered which. as originally framed. did
not ex nd n very friendly hand to reg
ular Republicans. The resolution was
finally dressed up n bit to avoid any
possible sting to the regulars.

ASIATIC TROUBLE,
Indications That Separate Turkish
 Government May Be Established.

Paris, July 7.-The formation of a separate Turkish government in Asia Minor by Mustapha Kamel Pasha, and Essad Pasha is indicted as a possi- bility in dispatches received in peace conference circles today from Greek sources.
 kamel Pasha, who is reported to have 10000 troops with 47 heavy guns and many machine guns, is said to have refused to comply with an order from the government in Con- stantinople to return to the capital. Essad Pasha is understood to be in Asia Minor in the territory controlled by Kamel Pasha and, it is said, is in touch with kamel, presumably in the hope of forming coalition for a new government.

 The leading Bolsheviki, he de- clared, realized clearly that the game was lost. The Red army was abso- lutely unreliable. Epidemics were raging throughout Russia and there were not enough collins for the dead, Com unications were at a standStill and there was no passenger traffic.
