WORK FOR ARSENAL FORCE
Schuvlkill Institution Will Be
Kept Busy, Officials Saw

Officials OF the Quartermaster's Depart
ment at Washington have adopted
favorable attitude tSward the continued
operation of the Schuylkill Arsenal. They
have assured representatives of the
workmen that most Of the Quitting
that becomes available under the new
army bill will be done at that arsenal.
This fact was announced last night at
a mass-meeting Of the workers held in
the Musical Fund Hall The workmen
were further assured that the schuylkill
Arsenal will be kept on a pre-war basis.
at least until July l..
The workmen's committee journeyed
to Washington last week and was met
by a group Of army officials who showed,
the committee reported, surprising lack
of knowledge Of local conditions. The
army men were under the impression
that the arsenal was working overtime
and that there was huge store of army
supplies here that rendered impossible
the further manufacture OF uniforms and
army clothing here. These statements,
the workmen said, were directly the op-
posite of actual conditions.
Upon being informed as to the true
state of affairs that existed here and
being shown by actual figures that the
Schuylkill Arsenal could actually un-
derbid outside contractors In New York
and Chicago. where the " orknnen feared
the contracts were being diverted, the
army men assured the committee the
arsenal would not be abandoned.

The skip-stop of the Public Service
Railway Company. at the Clemenss

put out of business by the borough coun-
Gil at meeting held last night.

to a fine Of s25 for the first ofrense,

fight between the citizens OF the borough
and the Public Service Railway Com
pany. Clements Bridge road is the
only outlet to the White Horse nike
to and from harrington. Motormen,
when there are no passengers for Bar

Nor would the Cadillac have
been chosen had economy
of first cost been the con-
sideration.
Happily for the Army-and
for the Cadillac-the War
Department had in mind that
freedom from adjustment,
overhauling, and repair,
which alone spells true econ
omy in a motor car.
The average Cadillac owner
enthuses especially over the
beautiful ease, and the soft
steadiness, he constantly en-.
joys in his car.
But you will find that what
pleases him most, in the last
analysis, is that same element
of permanent value which
determined the choice of the
Cadillac by the Government.

Churchman Leader Anticipates
League Of Religious Bodies,
Seeking Common Ideals
Believes Country More of a.
Union Than Ever as Result Of
Vars Lessons

A league OF churches. not unlike the
proposed league of nations. whose mem
bers will cooperate In striving for COM
mon ideals while retaining their own
Individuality and integrity. is antici-
pated by Dr. Russell II. Conwell. pastor
OF the Baptist Temple. The head OF
Temple University has come back from
a months lecture tour Of the West with
feeling that the church league idea Is
growing there as II is here.
This was one of many impressions
Doctor Conwell brought back and talked
about when asked for an interview.
DR.. Conwell came down into the long.
old-fashioned parlor where his caller
was half submerged In an easy chair.
The creator of the poor mans univer-
sity" did not drop his goodly bulk into
similar chair, but wheeled away from
the piano one of those little old-fashion-
ed square stools. upholstered rather
thinly with red plush and fitted with a
little back somewhat like that one sees
on stenographer's chair
It was the last chair in the room any
one would be expected to choose-least
OF all DR.. Conwell, with a man-size body
as well as man-siZe mind
DR.. Conwell was asked to tell what he
saw out West and what the West Is
thinking of doing. The West seems to
remote to some Of us that II is almost
like another country. but It is becoming
less remote. according to DR.. Conwell,
and that, he believes, is a good thing FOR
both West and East. we are much
more Union" than we were before
the war, he believes.
The pastor began by explaining that
he spent only a short time in any one
city and that, therefore. the Impressions
he got might not be the ones he would
have brought back had his journey been
slower He seemed to realize what
most careful and honest students real
ize-that 1t Is impossible for man TO
visit more than two dozen cities in as
big place as the West In n month and
come back knowing it all. ut so APP
peared TO me-" he said, but may not
have understood things just as they
were, although, of course. 1 tried my
best to-"
Not Sanguine OF League of Nations
DR.. Conwell found the West hoping
and praying for the President and be-
lieving in him, but not so hopeful about
the league OF nations. He found the
Vests view much like his own in this
matter. He is not so hopeful about
the league Of nations. but he is far from
hopeless. The doctor is a sane optimist
He is an optimist of the sort that level
headed men who see the world and life
as 1t is admire.
His optimism is not the sicl<ish sticky
sort with a fixed and professional smile
that insists everything is all right and
the millennium will arrive next week He

The men are accused of extorting $50
from negro. They will be tried before
the Police Board Of Inquiry.
While tho Investigation regarding the
charges against the policemen was pc
ing completed. Professor Charies H.
Mason, an authority on political science,
was holding up the police department
TO University of Pennsylvania students
as an example Of ineficiency because
several convicted policemen were re-
tained on the force.
According TO the police. the two pa
trolmen yesterday presented themselves
before Joseph Salus, of the firm of A.
Salus & Sons, Thirteenth and South
streets, with sydney Pugh. negro, OF

The Salus place had recently been robbed

yised Mr.. Salus to prosecute Pugh.
Mr.. salus, II transpired. refused 10
su,.ar out a warrant for Pughs arrest
declaring he had no evidence against
the man. He advised the patrolmen. IL
they desired to press the case. to swear
out warrant affidavits themselves. They
then left the place.
Half an hour later, Pugh, according
to the statements presented to the
superintendent. returned TO the Salus
place and asked what the firm had
against him." He was told that 1t had
nothing, whereupon he declared that
he had given the two policemen $50 to
have Salus "call off the case"
Police Captain David McCoach was
at once ordered to make an investiga-
tion. and as n result of this the men
were suspended by the superintendent.

doesn't ignore the troubles of the world
and the nation. nor try to thing them out
OF existence. but sees them and isn't
afraid of them and believes them con-
siderably less formidable and insuper-
able than they have been before.
West Awakened from Utopian Dream
THE war has made the West read
history as 1t never read It before" said
DR.. Conwell Just as It has made the
East do. SO the West has awakened
from the dream of n perfected world. 1t
knows about 1915. II knows about the
Congress of Vienna and the Holy ALI
ance, and 1t realizes that the solution of
the worlds problems and the curing of
all its troubles are not TO be accomplish
ed III few months now nor yet in a
rev years. II believes, as l believe,
that the sincerity of President Wilson's
religious feelings is as great as the sin
cerity of those Of Alexander Of Russia,
But 1t knows, too. that there are power
tul forces not In harmony and not in
sympathy with the Presidents ideallsm,
which cannot be quickly overcome.
Despite the Cars sincerity and lofty
principles. the Holy Alliance did any
thing but realize his dreams. The West
knows the world problems are not all to
be solved. but it knows also that great
steps toward their solution will be
taken"
Reaction for German Inde emnities
In the matter of indemnities from Ger
many, Dr. Conwell did not find the West
IN agreement with him. He said he was
not In favor OF requiring indemnities,
but made no argument in support of his
view
49, Ihere is strong reaction" he said.
IRON the idea of waving indemnitIes
Ihey believe that now, when we have
beaten Germany 1t would be very foolish
anu unjust not TO require heavy in
demnities-indemnitie that would make
1t impossible for Germany to rise IN
against the world again. To waive in
IDENTITIES, they believe, would be like
permitting burglar to retain his tools
ana his money out of pity for his failure
In an attempt to rob your house To do
such thing. they say, would be TO in
vite renewed efforts to rob you. Yet they
want to feed the German people. They
say we should punish the guilty and yet
be just to the guilty. A wrong-doer is
fined or imprisoned, but not starved to
death"
Capital and Labor in Compromise
~ thc &c pildi ldDOE DE.
| Conwell had this to say: Perfect har-
mony between capital and labor is still
hundreds of years away. but all life is
| compromise and capital and labor seem
to be beginning TO realize that On both
sides there is some disposition, to yield
little. We know that what capital
yields labor gains and what labor yields
capital gains. as they are likely to be
opposed more or less severely SO long as
humanity is the humanity II is--just as
the nations can never be in perfect har-
mony as long as humanity is constituted
as 1t is. Yet We can draw nearer to
harmony than we have been. II we were
getting farther away from It, then we
