How Bell Was Saved
When Howe Advanced
on the Quaker City.
BY Dr.. Howard s. Taylor.

On September IL. 1777, warm.
bright day. the people Of Philadelphia
stood around in the streets listening to
the faint sounds of cannon firing down
on Brandywlne creek, about twenty
five miles away.
They knew that a great battle was
going on between the American army
under Washington and the British.
commanded by General Howe.
And the Philadelphians listened tO
the booming Of the distant guns with
passlonately divided feelings.
There were. many Tories living in
the city who were devoted to the Brit
ish cause and hoped that Howe might
triumph.
There were also many devout Quak-
ers in those listening crowds who con-
scientiously abhorred war-ultra pacl.
fists who thought that the Americans
had no business to fight even in de-
fense of their liberties.
But large part of the population
of Philadelphia were patriots who had
gotten the Declaration of Independence
into their hearts at its first proclama-
tion two months previously, and were
praying for Washington and his
ragged Continentals."
Sad News for Patriots.
The noise of battle commenced about
10 o'clock in the forenoon. but by night
fall the sounds ceased, and few
hours afterward the Philadelphians
learned that the Americans had met
with heavy losses, had been defeated
and We're retreating before a we'll
equipped army of invasion which out
numbered the patriot forces about two
to one.
Washington managed to reconcen-
trate his troops and slowly fell back
on Philadelphia skirmishing when
ever opportunity offered.

British Authority | Condemns Theory
 Germ InOculatiOn
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Waiter R. Hadwen, president of the British Union for the Abolition of Nivisec- ton, precipitated a clash with Dr. George w. Mccoy, director of the federal hygienic laboratory, here last night when he asserted before a meeting under the auspices of the National Society for Humane Regu- lation of Vivisection. that epidemic diseases were often the result of pro- ventive inoculation. Dr. Mccoy characterized the statement in chal- lenging it from the floor as a damn able lie," and Dr. Hadwen demanded that Dr. Mccoy prove the lie
 Dr. Hadwen asserted that the germ theory of disease would be complete ly upset within another decade, the medical profession recognizing that disease germs were the result rather than the cause of disease. He said inocculation for disease prevention was the most ridiculous assumption ever introduced into a sane world

FEDERAL PROH| FORCES GUT ID
 5OO EMPLOYES
rRepub,Icsn A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Federal prohibition forces will be reduced more than two thirds for 40 days be- ginning Friday because of a lack or funds to pay them. In making this announcement today. Commissioner Kramer said it was obvious that the government could not proceed to a rigid enforcement of the dry laws with a staff so depleted but that he was hopeful that there would be little increase in illegal liquor traffic
 Anti Saloon League officials were not so optimistic, Wayne B. Wheeler general counsel fo, the league, de- claring "a large increase in liquor lawlessness was to be expected to follow a. reduction of the enforcement agents from 1900 to 800. He said 1t was a "very foolish and bad policy for the government to permit liquor enforcement agents to be dismissed for the last 40 days of the current fis- cal year for lack of an appropriation.
 Commissioner Kramer said that of the 500 men who remain after Friday. only 350 were actual enforcement of ficers. the others being office clerks whose retention was necessary. He said that in February the treasury asked congress for S1,600,000 but re- ceived only $1,400. 900. The $2OO O0O denied by congress, he said, had to be saved and the only way was to cut the staff. When the appropria . tions for the next fiscal year are available July l, he added, however an even stronger prohibition force could be built up, IS the new allot- ment of s7 900 was greater than formerly given.
 The commissioner said that the prohibition officers would not cal on the department of justice or any other federal agency for assistance He said what the effect of the reduc- i ton of his force would be on tho
 country could not be foreseen.
 Some prohibition officers held tha | but little increase in illegal iquol l traffic was 70 be expected, as tht stringent regl lations surrounding th' , withdrawal of liquor from bonded
 warehouses had limited the supply 0

MeetingOfSupreme Council To Be Held 1 After Parliament
IR.nuhlican A. p. Leased Wlrel

LONDON, May 1S-It is possible that ghe meeting of the supreme council to consider the question of Upper Silesia may be postponed a few days beyond the week end, chiefly due to the shortness of the interval between the assembly of the French parliament before which Premiar Briand will make an inn portant speech and the tentative date for the council conference.
 If the summoning of the council is delayed, a meeting between Pre- miers Lloyd George and Briand for informal conversations is not un- likely.
 Ambassador Harvey has not yet announced whether he will partici- pate as representative of the United States in the council meeting.
 The French premier has been SUD- piled with a careful translation of MT Lloyd Georges speech in parlia ment last week, and this Is said to have cleared up some of the miscon- captions caused by the fragmentary reports of the British premier's state | ment on Upper Silesia.
 i The British position is declared te l be that the seriousness of the Silesiar l problem demands settlement at the earliest possible moment and that the
 question should be placed before th'
 supreme council without delay.

if persisted in, will be fatal to any entente.
 ''The stand taken by the British, American and Italian public on the Silesian question ought not to be of fensive to France. They stand by the treaty of Versailles. They mean to apply the terms of the treaty justly, whether they happen to be for or against Germany.
 ''The fate of Upper Silesia must be decided by the supreme council and not by Korfanty. Children of the treaty cannot be allowed to break crockery in Europe with impunity. Somebody must place a restraining hand on them; otherwise there will be continual trouble.
 "The course of the world in the coming years cannot be forecast. The mists ahead are more than usually dense.
 'The British people shirk no part of their responsibility under this treaty. There are temporary differ epces which make it difficult to spare troops, but these I confidently antic- ipate will be over soon and I call at tention to the fact that at the recent conference we. intimated our readi- ness if Germany refused the terms of the allied council to place the Brit ish fleet at the disposal of the allies for any operation that. might be de- termined upon.
 ''The British government was anx- ious to have the division of Silesia at the London conference All the facts of the plebiscite were known However, our allies were not ready to proceed with the discussion. we will abide faithfully by the decision given by a majority of the powers who have a voice under the
 treaty in defining the Silesian boun- daries, whatever that verdict may be We fully accept the plebiscite as ar expression of the wishes of the peo- pie of Silesia, but having gone into the great war we sustained gigantic losses in defense of an old treaty tc which this country was a party and Great Britain cannot consent to stand by whilst the treaty her representa- tives signed less than two years age is being trampled upon"

BENSON STATES
 UNION LEADERS
 ARE ARBITRARY

lhCPooH(dh S' Ts GCdSCd WI CJ
 NEW YORK, May 18-Whether the arbitrary exefcise of power un- der leadership" is to be permitted to defeat the purpose of the Amer ican people to maintain a merchant marine under their own flag is the fundamental issue in the present con troversy over reduction of marine wages, Chairman Benson of the ship ping board declared m an address here today before the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers.
 Asserting the union heads had shown an ''uncompromising attitude on the question of 15 per cent wage reduction and while presenting many irrelevant questions" had Nrefused even to discuss the necessary wage reduction, Chairman Benson reit- erated his determination to insist upon the wage cut as mot only jus tified, but imperative.'
 My appeal directly to the per sonnel of the merchant marine has met with very gratifying response, 7 he said. "I have stated publicly and again reaffirm the intention of the SHlpplIlS pOdTQ lO SlNe lnS protection, now and after the settle ment of the contro~crs to all who come to it's aid.
 Reports from all Of our outlying districts continue to be encouraging The movement of ships is going or steadily. A remarkable endorsement of the position the shipping board has come through the reduction of marine wages which has just taker place in Great Britain, the British scale being reduced aoout s12.15 pei month. As nearly as can be esti- mated, the average reduction approx imates the 15 per cent reduction proposed here"
 "When the present labor trouble | threatened a serious tie up of Amer | ican shipping Chairman Bensol l said, "the shipping board was face' 1 with the question Of whether l | should stop it's advertising and g' ahead full force. It unhesitatingl. chose the latter course he said. Tn results of the continued campaign O advertising, the chairman added, hal borne out that judgment.
 "The new reduced wage scale is il effect" the chairman said in con
 clusion, 'tand the shipping board vii continue to make use of all it's re
 sources to keep its ships movini i and prevent the success of this ef 1 fort to defeat the permanent re-es tablishment of the American mer- chant marine

Arizona Passenger
 And Freight Rates
 Ordered Increased

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, May IS. Freight rates and passenger rates within the state of Arizona were ordered today by the interstate commerce commission to be rsis- ed to the level in effect in in terstate traffic effective July 15.
 The Arizona commission in re- fusinq to advance state fares, contended that the interstate tar ifs to, from and through that state were unreasonably high, but the federal commission said the figures submitted to support this claim had little provoca- tive value"
 Regarding charges made by the state commission that the rail- roads were not efficiently man aged, the commission said:
 I've are of the opinion that the showing made by the state is not sufficient to sustain a charge of insufficient management"
 The present main line inter state passenger fares in Arizona are constructed on basis of 4.8 cents per mile, while the state main line fares are on basis of four cents a mile.
 Regarding the freight rates, the commission said:
 "The present rate adjustment gives to jobbing points within the state an advantage over jobbin9 points outside the state."
