Miss Harriet Smith, Y. w. c. A. Student
Secretary In China, Relates Amaz-
ING Story of How 10000 Stu
dents Organized Themselves.
By BERNlcE eRIsWoLp.

Miss Harriet Smith, for ten years
student secretary of the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association in Shanghai,
China. relates the amazing story Of
how 10000 Chinese students organized
themselves to GUST the militarists from
Government offices in Peking and how
they succeeded in becoming the lead
ers Of China.
Fearing that China was not to be
protected from the aggression OF other
nations by the Peace Treaty, as she
had expected to be, some 10000 stu
dents, all of them between the ages or
twelve and twenty-one years and In
GLIDING 5000 girls, organized Them
selves into the Chinese Students Pa
triotic Society Immediately after the
publication of the first draft of the
Peace Treaty to fight for Chinese
rights.
Their first move was to strike from
school or, rather, from lectures. as
they remained In their respective
schools and spent so many hours daily
In private study. They then organized
into bands for getting out propaganda
literature and for public speaking In
the country and small towns and inathe
tea shops in poorer districts of the
cities In order that they might reach
the vast numbers of people who could
not read.
Immediately upon organizing, the
students published their demands, four

IS IN new COUNCIL
MAY BACK MOORE
Next Mayor Likely to Have ~
Votes at Least to Sup
port Policies
SIX STANCH WARE MEN

Politicians forecasting today the COM
plexion of the next Council on the basis
of the official returns of the primaries
figured that the Moore forces in the new
body would have the support of from
twelve to fifteen members at all times.
\ majority is eleven.
Heretofore. on the basis Of the po-
litical situation existing before the
primary battle, the Ware leaders were
credited with ten members and the
Moore men with eleven. giving the
Moore forces mere majority with
nothing to spare.
Politicians said today the triumph
of Congressman Moore in the primaries
has so shaken the Ware organization
that the latter cannot count on the same
absolute support it could have counted
qn had Judge Patterson won the nomi e
nation.
Six Live Ware Men
The irreducible minimum. as it was
expressed. of the Ware strength in the
new Council is six members. These
six are Cox. Finley and Gaffney in
the South Philadelphia district; Hall
and McCoach in the Second district,
and Mckinley in the Eighth district.
In tnp OlHpT nunL, hOOIt lIltluIl-
BILE minimum is made of these eleven :
Burch. Connell and Dcvelin in the West
Philadelphia district; Iimeburner,
Montgomery and Wcglcin in the Sew
cuth district; Cans, Roper and Won
Tngen in the Germantown district; and
Patton and Horn in the northeast.
Added to these is Buchholz, Senator
Martins ally in the Nineteenth ward.
RuchholZ was the only one of the So
called Ware candidates to attend the
opening of the Moore headquarters. Pol
iticians freely concede that Martin
will be an open aide of the Moore ad
ministration. the past alliance with the
Wares Notwithstanding.
Where Others Are
These twelve may he increased to
thirteen by Walter, of the Twentieth
ward. David II. Lanes friend in the
new Council. The thirteen may go tc
fourteen by the support of Hetzell, of
the Eighteenth ward. The fifteenth vote
may come from Frankcnhcld. of the
Forty fourth ward, heretofore regarded
as Ware leader. FrankenfCld is q
friend of Joseph S. Mclaughlin, who
lately broke off with the Wares, and il
would not surprise politicians TO fine
him, after the November election, openly
on the Moore side so far as councilmani'
measures go. At the least, it was said
he will be neutral.

MOORE NOT T0USE
POLITICAL LEV|ES
Ware Assessments on Officehold-
ers to Play No Part in His
MayoraIty Campaign
DEMOCRATS STRENGTHENED

Campaign expenses for the election of
Congressman Moore as Mayor will he
drawn from the same sources that pro
vided the funds for the primary cam
paign, it was learned today.
The Moore united Republican com
mittce will not use political assess
ments made on oficcholdcrs by the
Ware controlled city committee. accord
ing to authoritative information from
the Moore leaders.
Congressman Moore has already an
nounced that when he is Mayor he
will enforce the provisions of the new
city charter prohibiting the assessment
of officcholders.
The position taken by the Moore COM
mittce in this matter has had the effect
in City Hall of relieving the annual
levy on offireholders to such an extent
that the city committee, it is under
stood, will find it difficult to meet bills
in the usual manner.
George w. Coles, treasurer Of the
Moore committee, explained that Con
grcssman Moore was nominated free of
obligations and that it is Mr.. Moore
intention to be elected free of obli-
cations.
In pursuance of his policy of well
coming support of all Republicans Con
gresham Moore and those of the Re
publican nominees who were his col
leagues in the primary battle with the
Ware forces will attend the meeting of
the Republican city committee next
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock, when
the nominees will be indorsed by the
Ware committee. Congressman Moore $
address on this occasion is awaited with
the deepest interest both by Ware men
and Moore supporters in the primaries.

SUGAR SHORTAGE
SHOWN BY CANVASS
Situation in All Sections of City
Acute-Franklin Refining
Company Closes Doors
TO REPEAT WAR RATI0NING

4 canvass of the citv shows the sugar
shortage to be acute. There are few in
stances of profiteering. The grocers do
not have the sugar to sell.
At present there is no system in the
sale Of sugar. If a grocer has stock
on hand he sells it until it is gone. This
condition will be regulated when John
\. Mccarthy puts wartime sugar
rationing into effect next Tuesday. Mr..
Mccarthy, who is vice president of the
Pennsylvania Sugar Company, has been
put in charge of this work by the sugar
equalization board of the United States
food administration.
According to Mr.. Mccarthy, whole
salers have not boarded sugar. The
situation, it is pointed out, is the re-
suit of Great Britain's purchases Of
sugar in this market.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Mccarthy,
however. that with proper care and ra-
tioning the shortage may be overcome,
In all sections of the city the con-
ditions seem to be the same. The
chain stores. evidently because Of their
superior warehousing facilities, still
have little sugar to sell. although
some of the stores in the chain have
none left. Likewise many small in
dependents have stocks they are dis
and some even take care of transient
trade.
The canvass In the city, however,
shows that stocks are low with no more
In sight. Reports from the various sec
tions indicate the same conditions exist
everywhere. In many stores in north
west Philadelphia the proprietors have
signs, "No sugar" posted in their win
dows. Italians are clamoring for the
sugar needed to make wine, which they
brew at this time of year.
Concrete evidence of the lack OF
sugar is the shutdown of the Frank =
lin Sugar Refining Company, 125 South
Orianna street. Operations ceased at
midnight last night.
Refining slowed up as the stock oi
sugar on hand became slowly exhausted.
When a cargo failed to arrive the re-
finery officials shut the plant. This
is the condition in most refineries oi
the country, it is explained. Many
like the Pennsylvania Company, have
contracted to sell their product to Great
Britain. The British jumped into the
market and contracted for all available
supplies some time ago.
Several carnivals in the ManayunB
district have sugar to chance off. One
carnival, on Shurs lane at Cressor
street, offers two POUNDS OF sugar ant
two cans of peas at ten cents chance
and is doing big business.
Just across the Green Lane bridge
