BURTON HOLMES IN FRANCE
Second Traveloeue Describes His.
torIe eattIearounde

Burton Holmes took all Of philadel
phia's citizenry that could pack into
the Academy OF Music last night on an
edifying and inspiring trip through the
battlefelds Of France. IT was an cdt-
flying tour because there was scarcely
an angle Of the great war which his
tasteful plates and movies did not
image, and it was an inspiring tour
because with admirable art he kept be-
fore his audience that high purpose
which could transform ordinary people
Of the world into heroes and willing
martyrs.
Ruins, Germans, mud wclters which
once were lush farmlauds, grim can
non, peace juGlccs in England and
France, and Il thousand and one other
things, were crowded into the rich two
hours of the lecture.
Burton Holmes will give "Alsace-
Lorraine" at the Academy on Friday
evening and Saturday matinee Of the

KENDR|CK CONFERS
WITH SENATOR VARE
Meeting Had No Political Sig
nificance, Contractor De-
clares After Interview
MOORE LEAVES FOR REST

Political rumor was set buzzing today
when Murdock Kcndrick, who was cam
paign manager for Mayor elect Moore.
entered the Office of Senator Ware in
the Lincoln Building.
The senator was "in" at the time
and long conference resulted.
At the close Of the interview Mr.
Kendrick WAS asked If his visit had
anything to do with the Moore cabinet
or other questions relating to the next
administration.
1.-THE senator just wanted to talk
with me, so he asked me over to his
Office. said Mr.. Kendrick.
"There was no political significance
whatever in Mr.. Hendricks CALL" said
Senator Ware.
Persons close to Congressman Moore
today said the Mayor elect had not de-
cided upon even one cabinet appoint
ment so far.
The name of A. Lincoln Acker. In
dependent leader of the Thirty eighth
ward, is still mentioned to head the
Department Of Public Works. Mr..
Acker has many friends close to Con-
gresham Moore, but his appointment,
it is said, would be protested by the
section Of the Independent group which
prevented the selection of Mr.. Ackpr
as the Town Meeting candidate for the
mayoralty.
Mr.. Moore is out of town today and
even his friends are not certain of
the place to which he has gone to seek
rest and freer opportunity to consider
cabinet appointments. He will return
to the city Monday.
1t was learned the biggest question
now confronting Mr.. Moore is the se-
lection of man for director Of public
safety. Only negative information was
available today on that subject. 1t was
learned George w. Coles is not being
considered for the dictatorship of public
safety, though he is in line for the Office
of purchasing agent. Up to this time
Mr.. Moore has not conferred with Mr..
Coles in regard to a place in the cab
