Manuel Of Portugal Says

In These Times.
CBy Universal seryiceo

London. Oct. 16.-At a secret
meeting OF his partisans held at
his country home at Twickenham,
near London. former King Manuel
of Portugal. declared his irrevoca-
BILE intention never to seek to re-
gain the throne from which he was
banished after the assassination of
his father and elder brother in
Lisbon.
Economic conditions in Portugal
are very bad, and the country is
ripe for another revolution. Portu-
gal obtained no compensation for
her share in the woEld war. but
was treated as the Cinderella OF
the allied and associated powers
during the Peace Conference in
Paris. The statesmen of the big
powers refused even a hearing to
the Portuguese delegates when they
sought to present their country's
grievances.

fearing that Bolshevism would
come, rushed u message to London
urging King Manuel to counter the
threatened Soviet movement by
making another bid for the throne,
the monarchy still being popular

The former King exhaustively re-
! viewed the conditions prevailing in
1 his native country, and finally came
/ to the conclusion that another mon
archical coup would make Bolshe-
! Yism inevitable if it failed, as many
previous attempted cOups have done.
! He then dispatched to his sup
porters in Lisbon the following
message:
Offers to Help.
What l would have you do is to
help the country to overcome the
grave crisis through which it is now
passing. All must work, not towards
a revolution, which would be fatal
to Portugal, but to defend and up
hold every man who desires to see
anarchy Overthrown and order re-
stored.
Party strife which divides the
country must be eliminated. Without
lrenouncing my traditional princi-
pies, l am ready to place myself
under the orders of the nation il it
is in peril. Meanwhile l will con-
tinue to do all in my power to pro-
mote the welfare of Portugal in
England, her traditional ally"
Manuel made this offer to help
the Republicans merely as a mat
ter of form and to encourage his
partisans to cease promoting in
ternal trouble which would end in
SOviets replacing the Republic. BY
acting as an unofficial ambassador
for his country in England he is
fulfilling his own ambition to settle
down permanently to English coun-

Paris, Oct. 16.-The statement in
Chicago by Anna Gordon, president

soon go dry has been received with
much hilarity by the French press,
but also with considerable gravity
on the part of observers who believe
that she is right.
In spite of the derision by news

for liquor, it is becoming more and
more evident that the public men

against alcohol, although most of
them believe in light wines and

London, Oct. I6.-Human kindness
in the factory, the welfare idea,
made great strides here during the
war. There was such an influx of
women into industry, and the work
so strenuous and so vital to the
winning of the war that care had
to be taken of employees to prevent
wholesale breaking down.
The idea has remained i'll the ma
tiOnaI consciousness. The latest
step in improving conditions comes
in the form of an order made by
the home secretary under the pO-
lice and factories act OF 1916, de-
failing various amenities for the
workers in shops and factories.
Among the provisions of this or
der are the following:

or benches with back rests, crock
cry and table utensils, adequate
means for cooking and warming
food and boiling water, and ar
rangemerts for washing crockery
and utensils.
Canteens Ordered Heated.
The canteen or messroom shall be
sufficiently warmed during meal in
tervals.
The occupier shall provide wash
ing facilities, comprising fixed glaz.
ed basins or troughs and a suffi-
cient supply of clean towels, soap,
and warm water.
The oCcupier shall provide suit
able facilities for sitting for all
workers whose work is done stand
ing. so as to enable them to take
advantage of any opportunities for
resting which may occur in the
course OF their employment.

be. provided first-aid appliances and
an ambulance. and that first aid
box shall contain, among other
things. a bottle of eye drops. a bot
tie of sal volatile, supply of eye
pads.
For factories and workshops en-
ploying over 500 people it is laid
down that an ambulance room shall
be provided, that its furniture shall
include a couch and a stretcher. and

ALL ABOARD FOR
CEDAR CREEK CAMP.

Troop 5, P%leasantville Boy Scouts,
opened their camping season with a
rush and a roar last Saturday and
Sunday. Mr.. Ellenberg, the Scoutmas-
ter, assisted by Somers Steelman and
Firman Reed, the two Assistant Scout
masters, are in charge. They have
secured a ~six-acre tract at Weymouth.
They have a little bungalow with an
open fireplace, furnished in true back
woods style. Each boy who attends
brings the same food, which is pooled
and prepared by the Scoutmaster and
his Assistants. Included in this tract
is an old-time swimming hole, where
the boys enjoy two or three dips
daily. The camp is run under strict
rules and regulations. No boys are
allowed in swimming except at certain
times, when life guards are posted.
The camp will be open every Satur-
day and Sunday to all members of
Troop Five. The only charge is rs
cents per boy, which includes carfare,
but every boy brings his own food.
The camp was quite a lively scene
last Sunday, at which time five auto
loads of the boys parents and friends
attended. The visitors were: Mr.. and
Mrs. Holdings and daughter Lillian,
Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Ellenberg
and children, Mrs. w. T. Cohee, Mr..
and Mrs. Furman Reid, Irwin Hewitt
and Fred Ellenburg, Mr.. and Mrs.
Under and children, of Pleasantville;
Mrs. Froelich and children, Mr.. Ed
ward Froelich, of Atlantic City; Mr..
Charles Waterfall, of Germantown, Pa.
All were very much pleased with
the camp, which is to be run all year
round. Troop 5 is planning a big time
for this summer. Their meetings are
held every Thursday evening at the
Scoutmaster's home, 1872 Doughty
Road. Visitors interested in the boys
work are always welcome.

REGULARS AGAIN WAGLOP
EGG HARBoR BALL ARTISTS

With a singing defeat fresh in their
minds, the Egg Harbor ball tossers
came to Pleasantville last Saturday
with the avowed intention of lifting
the scalp of the P'yille boys in proper
fashion. They started off with a gal
lop that looked to the spectators as
if they were going to do that very
thing, and would have cast much
gloom over the local crowd had they
not gotten their batting eyes open and
gathered in two runs. This revived
the spirits of the home crowd and dis
spirited the visitors, who became err

added more runs to their tally, until
it totaled 7, while the Harborites could
muster but 2.

old veteran, who officiated on the
mound for the Regulars, pulled himself
out of a tight squeeze, the most alarm
ing being in the fourth inning, when
the visitors had gotten three men on
bases with none out. Things looked
sad and serious and everybody held
their breath while a heavy hitter STEP

times did he swing hat mighty slab,
and as many times did the little horse
hide nestle %serenely in the nit of
"Wilse," the catcher. The next up
went the same route, and the third
valiant batsman popped a long fly
safely in Tony Longs nit. Never
again during the contest did the Wis
itors look so dangerous.
The Egg Harbor moundsman did
good work, and had his support been
gilt-edged his opponents score would
have been less.
The Regulars will play a team from
Atlantic City this Saturday afternoon.
