made to Colonel Hatch, the represen- tative of the navy department.
 Must Suppress Evils


 Tn view of the seriousness of the situation, fraught as it is with grave consequences, We must insist that dur ing the period of demobilization the authorities at Philadelphia will sup press prostitution and other vice conditions, and entrust this duty to those who are able to cope adequately with the situation. The necessity of such action is quite, if not even more, important in the period of demobiliZa- ton, than in the period of mobiliza- tion.
 q have had a conference with the secretary of war with references to the conditions at Philadelphia and I am writing to you to say that we are both in accord, and unless necessary ac- tion is taken to give adequate and full. protection to the soldiers and sailors in Philadelphia, steps will be taken as will give the needed protection to the thousands of young men in uniform, who must either visit Philadelphia or be denied by the war and naval authorities the liberty which ought to be give nthem. It is our duty to see that they have the same wholesome surroundings in Philadelphia that are afforded them in other cities, and this duty will not be evaded.'
 Mayor Smith Answers Back.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-With re- gard to the letter of Secretary Daniels, that the government would protect sol diers and sailors from vice conditions in Philadelphia, unless the city took adequate measures, Mayor Smith to- night said he assumed full responsi- bility for the action taken to eliminate conditions alleged to exist. The mayor said Philadelphia was as clean as any city in the country.
 Last year James Robinson, head of l the police force, was succeeded by the assistant superintendent, as result of complaints by the government of con ditions here. At the time, the mayor said. the government had practically | communicated the police force" Last week Robinson, who had gone into military service, returned to his place as superintendent of police.
 1, Lieutenant Colonel c. E. Hatch, re- presenting the navy department in vice conditions here, wrote letter to f the mayor asking his reasons for plac- 1 ing Robinson in ihs former position The mayor replied he approved the | action taken and did not purpose lend | ing his aid to controversy which could only result in the unjust villification' of the city. Colonel Hatch then took l the matter up with Secretary Daniels.

in a letter made public today, and represents an addition of s60,000, 900 to estimates given by MT. McAdoo in his recent testimony before the com mittee.
 Mir McAdoo explained that the in creased estimate was based on actual net revenue for November, which now was available and which was s28,000,- . 900 less than was anticipated when he appeared before the committee. He es- timated that s6,000,000 of the differ ence was due to reduction in traffic during November and S22, 2,00o,000 to in- creased wages and back payments.
 Mir. McAdoo pointed to this un- expected development as lending ad- ditional emphasis to his statement that Tit is impossible to predicate satis- factory conclusions upon the present necessarily incomplete results for even a single year of federal control especially under war conditions" and said that satisfactory showing of the results of federal operation in 1918 probably could not be made before the first of March.

CHURCHES ID OPEN.
 SAYS COMMISSION

The churches of Phoenix will remain open during the present influenza crisis.
 After discussion of the arguments for and against closing was held at the meeting of the city commission yes terday morning the commission voted to permit the churches to remain open.
 Representatives of five churches were present at the meeting, Rev. J. A Wailes of the Central Methodist church, being the spokesman for the ministers.
 The ministers presented the argu- ment that the churches should not be closed because the New York and Chi cago churches have proved it needless to close; that the experience in Phoenix had proved it likewise; that the people need the strength, hope, comfort and courage of the churches; that the clos ing of the churches did not decrease the influenza and will not now; that the church stands in a class by itself; that it is necessary, not a non-essen- tial

 The driver of the stage is alleged to have carelessly, negligently and recklessly attempted to pass on the left, and that the surface gave way, precipitating the automobile and pas sengers with great force and violence down the embankment to the bottom of the arroyo.
 The plaintiff states he sustained many body bruises and injuries, his left thigh being broken. He was taken to the hospital at Ray and later re- moved to Phoenix.

The next subject to en- gage attention, as next in importance, is the naturalization of international waterways, having especially in mind the Dardanelles and perhaps the Scheldt and the Danube littoral
 Probably next among the foremost subjects to receive attention will be use of the high seas.' It may be sig nificant that this phrase now is being adopted instead of the older freedom of the seas" but it is not yet possible to ascertain in what the distinction is to consist.

PARKLETS FOR IOWA TOURISTS.
Legislature Passed Measure Giving
Roadside Parks in Last Few
Minutes of Session.

Roadside parks will gladden. the
tourist and the users !, Of the. Iowa
highways as result of the action OF
the Iowa legislature in the last
minute of it's existence, in appro-
priating 100000 annually for the
parks in every part of the state. IN
the main, the money will be spent in
securing for the state some OF the
famous beauty spots to which loWans
have long been accustomed to go f0r
summer outings.
Members of the Iowa Conservation
Board, headed by, Prof. l.; II. Pam.
of Iowa State College, express them
selves also as favoring the purchase
of suitable parking places along the
more famous Of the Iowa tourist
roads, where tourists and users OF
the road, as well as the local people,
may go or. stop for luncheons, camp
overnight or enjoy picnics. At least
should be secured on each of these
roads in every county. Water should
be provided, as well as some camp
ing ard picnicking facilities. The
camps may be from two to ten ACRES
in extent, though there is no re-
striction as to size: 1t has been sug-
gested that possibly a regular series
Of these parks might be established
at suitable distances along these
roads to provide homes for the road
patrolmen, who then would become
very naturally the custodians and
caretakers of the parks.
Acting with Prof. Pammel on the
conservation board are Curator l..
H. Harlan of the State Historical
society, John Ford of Ft. Dodge and
Joseph Kelso of Bellevue. The Park
Conservation bill was one of the
very last pieces of legislation put
