Eleven PhiIa. Men In Party to Sail

One hundred and fifty native Thra

who will be one of the party, they are
interested in the cause of maintaining
the independence of their country
against the threatened rule of the Bul-
garians. Representatives from this
body have already protested to the
United States Senate against President
Wilson'S proposal to give Thrace to the
Bulgarians.
IL is now the practice of Bulgarians
who are living in Thrace in great num-

allegiance to Bulgarian under penalty
of death.

ST|RS ENTHUSIASM
Nationwide Campaign H a S
Spurred Church to Maximum
Efficiency, Declares Pepper
BISHOP GARLAND'S VIEWS

Exposition of the objects and results
of the nation. wide campaign of the
Episcopal Church IS given in the Church
News Of the Diocese Of Pennsylvania.
Bishop Suffragan Garland writes. in
part.
THE nation wide campaign gives to
every rector and vestry an opportunity
to present, the facts to the people
the needs Of the presiding bishop and
council for the administration Of the
missionary work of the church at home
and abroad-the needs Of the diocese {:
for our missionary work. church ex
tension and for our institutions.
II do not claim or believe that the
present is the ideal system. but it is a
long step forward. and inasmuch as the
general convention has adopted it as
the present method in the church. we
hope that all our people will Loyalty
give it sympathetic and Jealous trial
and out Of our joint efforts the ideal
system will one day be evolved.
I'm the meantime. il does seem to
be very simple plan to abandon for a
while the apportionment system: pre-
sent the facts individually to all
members Of the church; and then ask
them what they are willing to give not
only to the work in their own parish
but in the diocese. and for the national
work Of the church. Wherever this plan
has been tried, and such a personal
canvass made. the results have been
most satisfactory"
George Wharton Peppers views Of the
campaign are summarized as follows
Intelligent discussion of the nation q
wide campaign in Pennsylvania must be
preceded by definite conception OF
what was the condition Of the church
In this jurisdiction before the campaign
began.
I'm my Judgment. about 10 per cent
of our parishes might have been wiped
out without appreciable loss to Chris,
tianity: another 10 per cent were only
enough alive to be saved by TRANSMISSION
of blood through the process Of consoli :
dation; about 80 per cent were living
far below their possibilities; and tn,
Protestant Episcopal Church in Penn
sylvania was making SO little effectiv,
impact upon the life Of the community
as to be rated low in the list of forces
that are tending to relieve human
misery
Mr.. Pepper says the campaign ha,
spurred the church toward its maximum
efficiency.

from United States Treasurer John
Burke, assuring him that such changes
MS he indicates are already under con
sideratiou by the government and that
his plan is one Of those being studied by
a special committee appointed for the
purpose.
Their consideration of the subject
thus far has virtually resulted in the
elimination Of 'colored bills from the
list Of feasible proposals, IL was said.
and It is probable when the new de-
signs are adopted. portraits and corner
designs--possibly varicolored seals-will
be employed as n means Of ready iden
tificatiop rather than other systems OF
marking.
Treasury officials dislike the idea Of
using different dyes for the various de-
nominations Of bills. They offer as one
objection that colored currency would e
mt look like money" as another that
dyes--even the best-ere not uniform
and frequently fade or change when
the money has been in circulation for a
short. time. and third that the special
gyade Of paper used in engraving money
"takes' the dyes and inks now in use
better than any other.

ASK Use OF PARK
FOR REv|CTED FOLK
Forty-fourth Ward Tenants AS
ISOLATION Wants Commission
ers to Permit Camping
HUNDREDS MAY BE oUsTED

The Forty fourth Ward Tenants
Association today appealed to the Fair
mount Park commissioners to allow
evicted members Of tho association
camping privileges in the Park near
Georges Hill.
The appeal was made following q
special meeting of the board of directors
Of tho association az the nome Of it's
president. Philip G.. Lewis. 142 North
Fifty second street. last night. -.
According TO Mr.. Lewis. six families
in the Forty fourth ward face imme-
diste eviction. They can find no homes
and the only possible means of housing
them is in tents in the Park.
Sees No Other Solution
There is no other solution to the
problem" Mr.. Lewis said. I'm addi-
ton to the six families facing immediate
dispossession, there are several hundred
tenants who are subject to eviction at
any time.
''Thc weather is warming now. The
tent plan is the only one left for many.
The government would furnish the tents.
We will make direct appeal to the
President. on the grounds that every
family has n right to a home.
II have not been in touch with the
members OF the park commission and
do not know what attitude they will
take. but surely they will not deny the
right Of these homeless persons TO live
in the only place left for chem.
THE situation in the Forty fourth
ward is hecoming worse every day.
The board of directors of our associa
ton, whose only purpose is to effect
the best compromise possible between
landlords and tenants, has met four
nights this week
Here Is the Letter
The letter Of the tenants association
to the park commissioners is as fol-
lows:
"We hereby make application to your
honorable body for permit to use a
plot of ground to be designated by you.
in the vicinity of Georges Hill, to be
used for camping purposes by members
of our association who are about to be
forced out of their homes and are un-
able TO find other quarters.
The letter is signed by Mr.. Lewis,
William -. Warner. secretary OF the
association. and Thomas T.. Krupp.
president Of tho board Of directors
r. Dewitt Cuylcr, O member Of the
Fairmount Park Commission when told
of the tenant associations request, re.

The matter will have to be given q
very careful consideration before any de T.

Chaplain Finds Wm Cross
on Desk; Source Is Mystery

There Is one man in the United
States navy who cares nd more for
Croix de Guerre with palm than
hobo cares for the income tax.
According to Captain G. II. Dick.
ems, chaplain Of the navy yard. such
person was at least once in his
Office. and he is waiting for him TO
return.
In 1917. when the chaplain en-
tered his Office one morning, he
found a little fat, oblong box on his
desk, which on examination proved
to contain the decoration. There
was no identification or name on the
medal. and the chaplain inferred
that il had been left in his care for
safekceping by some sailor who
would return for II.
But it has not been claimed.
