SALVATION ARMY
ASKS NO REWARDS
Does Not Look For Gratitude
From Those it Helps, Just
Does Good For All

An old beggar was instructink a.
friend of his in the gentle art Of pam
handling. always ask for quarter
with a tear in your voice, but always
thank the man whether be gives it to
you or not. Every big boob will work
his fool head off Tor a little thanks"
It is often pointed out that 50 called
Social Service Work is highly pleasant
when the proper spirit Of gratitude is
shown. Thousands Of College girls
annually go into social service work
but few Of them remain because there
seems to be so little gratitude express
sed by those among whom they work.
The Salvation Army last Christmas
IN one city sent out over thousand
christmas baskets, filled with chicken
or turkey and other Christmas foods.
Out of the thousand baskets distri-
buted they received but one acknow-
eidgement One old woman wrote O.
letter acknowledging the basket but
concluded that it was not a bit of
good to her as she had lost all of her
teeth and would the Salvation Army
furnish her with set Of false teeth
at once. Such things as this do not
discourage the Salvation Army.
Salvation Army officers have pledg-
ed themselves to work. not for tenn
porary enjoyment but for eternal hap
plness. Lack of gratitude does not
stop them The fact that they are
serving and serving we'll encourages
them to carry on, and the public has

The report of the meeting also con-
tains a warning that the companies

If the individual state labor fed

during the past few years was reveal
ed by senators in discussion of the

1t was shown that of 115,056 cor

These figures show that there were
$3.50 corporations in 1919 that made
a profit of not less than SO per cent,

PART IN BLOWING
up WALL STREET
Plot and Counter Plot
in Chase of Two
Anarchists
NAMES FIVE PRINCIPALS
Willing to Come Back
to America as State
Witness
(By Associated Press)

Warsaw, Dec. 17.-Plots and
counter plots. reading like a chapter
from fiction, were involved in the
search for clues in many parts of
Europe by American secret service
agents which resulted in the arrest
here yesterday of Wolfe Lindenfeld,
alias William Linde( in connection
with the Wall street bomb explosion
in New York in September, 1920.
Lindenfeld has fully confessed, the
authorities say, naming the ring
leaders in the plot, which he deolar-
ed was aimed at j, P. Morgan, the
internal machine exploding prema-
turely.
According to Sylvester Cosgrove
and Paul Altendorf, who trailed Lin
denfeld, the suspect has named five
principals in the plot now in Europe,
who received 100000 from the Mos
cow Third Internationale through
New York communists. Lindenfeld
has declared his willingness to re-
turn to New York as soon as possible
and turn states evidence. The Pol
ish authorities say he was exposed
in 1906 a sa Russian secret agent
and fled to America at that time, re-
turning to Europe last spring.
Get Criminals Confidence.
Altendorf came to Europe in Feb
ruary, last, while Lindenfeld came
over in March. During the summer,
Altendorf, living in various COM
which led him to seek Lindenfelds
acquaintance. AS a result Cosgrove
arrived in Warsaw two months ago,
posing as having connections with
communist groups q in America, and
was introduced to Lindenfeld by AL
tendorf. After establishing his av-
quaintance, Cosgrove suggested to
Lindenfeld a scheme whereby, by
giving information in regard to the
Wall street explosion, he could re-
ceive a large share of the rewards
Offered for the arrest of the plotters,
without risk to himself.
Throughout these operations by
the American secret service man,
Polish operatives shadowed Linden
field, and the Poles claim that, while
LindenfeId was pretending to play
into Cosgrove's hands, he was at the
same time 'double-crossing the
Americans.

rest a number of communists who
are alleged to be spies working
