EIGHT SAILORS ARE RESCUED
BY BA ATTLESHIP NEW MEXICO
hie Camden Prepares Royal ecome for Rear nira Wilson
Commander OF United States NauI Forces France Is
Eagerly Acaitcd by 4ged Mother

Eight sailors from a wrecked schoon-
er have been rescued by the L. S. S.
New Mexico. OH which Rear Admiral
Henry Il. Wilson. of Camden, COM
mander of the United states naval
forces in France, is coming home. But
for engine trouble the New Mexico
would have conveyed home President
Wilson's ship, the George Washington.
The news came to Camden today in
a letter from the Admirars wife to his
mother. Mrs. Mary \. Wilson, of Fourth
and Mount Vernon street, the old family
home in which Mrs. Wilson has lived for
sixty years.
Camden is preparing a royal welcome
for Admiral Wilson. II is proud of him
and no heart In Camden is quite so
proud as that of the mother of the
officer--yet she is modest, even perhaps
a little too modest.
But Mrs Wilson is old-fashoned only
in her manners, which are distinctly
those of gentle. dignifed and proud
but not naughty lady of a half-century
or more ago She was eighty last
Wednesday. You would hardly believe
IL. Today as she came downstairs TO
talk of her son she was beautiful.
She was erect, graceful in a close
fitting morning gown of white. Her hair
was white. but her face was slngularly
young Her eyes were bright, not with
that unnatural brightness of age, but
with the normal brightness of youth
She had just finished reading news"

might see some more word of the New
Mexico, but had found none.
Il had letter from Mrs. Wilson
in Washington" she said, but she does
not know when or where the New
Mexico will arrive. The Navy Depart
ment could not tell her 1t was once
reported to have arrived in New York,
but that report proved untrue. Then
there was a report It would arrive at

will not be known when or where the
ship will arrive until further word is
received from it.
The Navy Department did tell
Of the rescue OF eight sailors from a
wrecked schooner-as you know, there
have been many severe storms on the
Atlantic recently
"The New Mexico Is making slow
progress because of the trouble with
the engine 1t is new ship and they
always have more or less trouble. The
New Mexico started to convoy the
George Washington, but could not make
the required speed and stopped and
turned back at the Azores. 7 suppose
1t was on the way back that the sailors
were rescued
"Of course ! am proud of my son."
said Mrs. Wilson. IL cant tell you just
how feel except TO say that I have
tho the natural pride OF a mother in
a son who has done his duty and the
natural joy of a mather In anticipating
the early return OF her boy who has
been gone more than a year. Admiral
Wilson has done his part and done It
well, but It was not very dramatic or
romantic part Still am proud of him
and he Is proud of me- We're just like
other mothers and other sons. That's
all / can say and l believe he would
not want me to say more.
admiral Wilson Is convalescing from
pneumonia, so probably will not be able
to appear very long in response 10 his
welcome, but | know he will appreciate
it,"
Mrs. Wilson has two grandsons ''in
service" one Is Henry b. Wilson, son
of James b. Wilson. of Audubon, ~ j.

tai in England, having suffered a severe

the office
"The outstanding feature in the ac-
tivities of the medical men was the
development in surgery. Much that the
surgeons learned I'm that field will be OF
little service in civil life, but in acquir-
ing that knowledge they developed a
fund of information concerning diseases
that are common In civil life. and that
knowledge will prove of inestimable
value.
Human Life Extended
And we must not forget that the mil
lions of men who served in the ranks
have acquired first-hand knowledge con-
cerning the rules of health. They will
return TO their homes and spread the
knowledge. In this way disease will be
prevented and hundreds of thousands OF
men and women will live much longer"
Touching on the work of women in
the war, Doctor Cohen paid them a
handsome tribute by saying that they
have won tho right to share the respon-
sibilties of government with men.
They have done noblo work and am
proud of them, but personally I hope
they return to their homes and become
home builders. Perhaps I may be bit

Doctor Cohen was born in New York,
but has lived in Philadelphia since in
fancy. He regards 1t as the best city
in America and thinks that 1t is de-
veloping each year.
"In fact, the world is getting better"
said Doctor Cohen, morally and every
other way"
Doctor Cohen graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania in 1860 and
the following year answered the call of
President Lincoln for troops. lie re-
malned with the army as a surgeon for
four months and then obtained a sur
geon's commission in the navy. He was

WAR TAX LITIGATION
Is LOST BY READING
Railroad Must Shoulder
Leased Lines, Burden,
Court Here Holds

President Judge Audenried, of Court
No. 4, has filed an opinion In the con-
troversy between the Philadelphia, Ger
mantown and Norristown Railroad Com
pany against it's lessee, the PHILADELPHIA
and Reading Railway Company, over
liability for the payment of war taxes
assessed by the government against the
former railroad.
Judge Audenried holds the Reading is
obliged to shoulder the responsibility.
He gave judgment for the Philadelphia
Germantown and Norristown Company.
The amount of the taxes i'm dispute was
approximately $4,000
Judge Audenried said, in his discus
sion of the case: There can be no doubt
that the plaintiff was bound to pay the
income taxes and the war excess profit
taxes assessed againt it for the year
1917 Dy the Federal government BY
clause three of the lease under which the
defendant occupies and operates the
plalntin's property, the former agreed
TO pay all taxes and assessments upon
the rent reserved by the latter IN mat
instrument for the payment of which
taxes the plaintiff would otherwise be
liable. The defendant failed to pay the
war excess profit tax assessed against
the plaintiff for 1917 and it has been
paid by the plaintiff, which brings this
action TO secure reimbursement for what
1t has thus expended. It was held by
our Supreme Court in North Pennsyl-
vania VS. Philadelphia and Reading that
covenant by the lessee to pay all taxes
assessed upon the rent payable under
such lease as that with which we
are here concerned, obligated it TO pay
the United States income tax assessed
upon the lessor, whose only income con.
sisted of the rental payable by the
lessee. In Philadelphia City Passenger
Railway VS.. Rapid Transit it was decided
that in this respect the war excess profit
tax stands upon the same footing witt
the income tax or net profit. This case Is
ruled by these precedents and further
discussion of the subject is unnecessary
The plaintiffs rule for judgment wa.
made absolute.
