ctpal' speakers at the America Day
meeting called for Carnegie Hall next
Sunday night by the American Defence

In a circular sent out yesterday by DR..
William 7. Hornaday the statement Is
made:
The American people are awakening
rapidly to the peril OF Bolshevism and
to the need for Americanistic propa-
ganda. II has been proved In many
places that they are in no mood to be
trifed with by anarchists and the
quicker the radical Socialist groups get
that idea firmly fixed In their minds the
better for them. The returned soldier
cherishes no illusions regarding Soviet
government and the wholesale plumber
ing of all those who have property or
wives worth stealing. Wherever there
is a man In khaki he Is a rallying point
against the red flag. and the service man
stands not on ceremony In suppressing
disloyalty. The man who is not true
American and Is not loyal to American
! ideals must either shut up or go. There
must be no such thing as speech or as
| semblage for disloyalty. anarchy. sabot-
age or any other form of Bolshevism
and all radical Socialists may we'll make
note of this fact"

legality of a second fare to Coney

tempting to get out over the top Of the
turnstile. Three detectives were sent
for. and each OF the DIRECTORS had the

QUICK PEACE SEEN
BY JUDGE WADHAMS
League Hastened Work on
Council, He Says.

Judge William II. Wadhams OF the
Court of General Sessions. told an
audience in the First Presbyterian
Church. Fifth avenue and Eleventh

lions had furthered and FASTENED the
work Of the Peace Conference instead of

THE President OF the United States"
he said. suggested the idea OF the league
to the warning nations in 1916. The
Central Powers did not answer the note
while the allies replied in n favorable
way. The answer by the Central Powers
to the Presidents note of January 22,
1917, seeking way of settling the diff
fererces OF the warning nations. was
the zimmerman note 10 Mexico trying
to throw that country into war with us
and offering her the States OF Texas

tO-Order only

There is no stock of anything
on hand.
Every Wanamaker sleepy
mattress is fresh made when de-
livered to the door of the Gus
toner. In this way each client
can have the exact size and color
and kind of bedding he or she
desires

top covering of lambs wool.
1t can be thick or thin or
medium.
1t can be tight and firm or
soft and luxurious.
There are styles for thin peo-
pie and stout folk and for people
of medium weight.
There is even n two-in-one
mattress tied with tapes; the
tapes can be frightened on one
side and loosened on the other,
making half the bed firm for the
person who likes a firm mattress
while the other half will be lux
uriously soft for the person who
prefers softness.
