1T was cut out hast year,

Of course, and the city may rest

Mr.. Walker was speapking of
an item Of $3.50 for badges for
the fire commissioners, which,
he said, has been In the tenta-
tive fire budget for years, and
has been cut out Of the Anal
budget for several years back.
Mr.. Walker said that apparently
q misapprehension about the
proposed badges exists In the
city.

The army high command con-
firmed that the alarm had been a

means, presumably, that airplanes

free and open discussion among
Democrats from every possible
group to select a new town commit
tee. The new committee, he said
could in such a case include the
names Of Mr.. Dunlavey and other
members Of the present committee
It Is believed that Mr.. Dunlavey
and some members Of the town COM
mittee will strongly oppose any pro-
gram forcing them to resign. In
such q case, the split In Democratic
ranks may become one that cannot
be healed for long time.
Both Sides Eloquent
Both sides present eloquent argu-
inents. The reorganization group
says q change Is needed II the Dem
ocrats are to remain o power In local
politics. The town committee men,
bers and their supporters, on the
other hand, say that Mr.. Dunlavey
has not been given q chance To
show his leadership and that he
should be given an opportunity to
do so.
The town committee will hold q
meeting some time next week. An
effort TO arrange q peace" confer
erce next week Is being made, since
the election campaign - rapidly

HUNDREDS SEEK
TO Be CITIZENS
Class of go Candidates
to Appear in Common
Pleas Court Next Week

The largest class Of candidates
for U. 8. citizenship In local history
will appear. In common pleas court
next week for the final tests neces-
sary to become citizens. The class
includes total Of $50 candidates.
Meantime, there Is q heavy de-
mand for applications for FIRST citi-
zenship papers. The increase Is be-
lieved due in part to the European
situation and, most Importantly, TO
worry about employment status
Only citizens are allowed to work on
certain u. 8. government papers,
and many aliens fear that this
ruling, IL extended, may send them
into the ranks Of the unemployed.
The naturalization sessions next
week will be held Monday through
Friday. From Monday TO Thursday,
there will be both morning and
afternoon sessions. On Friday there
will be only an afternoon session.
Judge John y. McDonough and
Judge Miles McNiff viii preside. The
government representation will be
Naturalization Examiner j. Fillmore
Warder.
The size Of the class to be ex.
amined next week is greater thar
ever recorded here before, even dur
Ing the rush for citizenship during
the days Of the World War.

cratic town organisations are keep
ing an official hands-off attitude,
but 1t Is q certainty that workers
for both parties will 'unofficially"
do their utmost to bring about the
defeat Of the new charter.
q o p Workers Busy
Republican party workers are ex-
pected to be particularly active dur
ing the coming weeks. One of their
objections to the charter ID that Its
adoption will prevent the q. o. r.
from winning the city election this
year, when prospects for q Repub-
lican victory are brighter than they
have been In some time.
Despite the great amount Of pub
Lefty given the charter, the voters
In general are not well-acquainted
with its provisions. Alleged defects
In the charter viii be hammered
home by speakers opposing its adop-
ton.
Labor WIN Play Part
Labor organizations may play an
important role In massing votes
against the city manager charter
Oct. 3. There Is fear In labor
ranks that adoption of the charter
would give local factory interests
an extremely powerful voice In city
affairs. Supporters Of the plan deny
that there are any grounds for such
fear, but the fact remains that
many working people are suspicious
Of IL.
There is no question that pros
poets Of the new charters adoption
were enhanced as Q result Of the
outcome Of the conspiracy trial
whether that advantage can be
maintained until three weeks from
next Tuesday remains to be seen.

Papers Change On Warsaw
Morning newspapers announced,
In their largest type: German
troops In Warsaw" Some o. them,
however, which had announced IA
first editions that "Warsaw Is Con-
quered," changed the headlines In
second editions to read WARSAW
Reached"
No newspaper referred to the pos
sibility Of the Polish army being
massed for q crucial battle south
east of Warsaw, east Of the vistula,
Narew and San rivers, but It was be-
ileved elsewhere in Europe that such
was the case and that Poland was
still far from conquered.
The army high command said
armored troop units had entered the
Polish capital at 7:l5 p. m. (2:i5 p.
m. EDT) The city had not yet fall
len, 1t was announced.
There had been no further word
Of the German force besieging War
saw from the north. This army was
last reported ut Plltusk, 20 miles
north Of warsaw. ITS plan was to
join the southwestern army at War
saw, creating Q solid front through
Poland from East Prussia to Slo-
vakia.
Poland Still Healthy
Behind this front, q $4,000 square
mile area OF northwestern Poland
still had not been occupied by Ger
mans, but 1t would be encircled and
untenable.
This mornings war communicates
said that Poles continued their re-
treat on all fronts. In the south,
German troops crossed the Wisloki
I and reached Dembica. Troops forced
a crossing Of the Dunajek near
Zabno 90 miles northwest Of Tar
now, directly south Of Warsaw near
the Slovak borderJ Troops reached
Sandomierz. German troops crossed
line between Bendkow and Stry-
kow, eastward near Lode (second
largest Polish city, 90 miles SOUTH
west Of Warsaw. The occupation Of
Posen Province western extremity
Of the unoccupied, surrounded area)
continued without resistance. Enemy
aircraft hardly appeared"

Reliable Index
One reliable index Of employment
is the number Of waivers signed by
newly-hired factory employees at the
ONCE Of Compensation Commission
er James M. Lynch. During August
there were 248 waivers signed, as
compared with 100 In July and lie
In June. /,
Already this month more than 90
waivers have been signed. Commits
sioner Lynch estimates that the to-
tai signed during September will be
300, pointing out that the average
50 far this month has been In ex-
cess Of 10 per day.

Despite the German submarine
campaign, which in the British view
has started out at the stage which
Germany reached IN 1917 in the
World war-that is, the final phase
Of unrestricted. submarine warfare
every confidence was expressed here
that this time the U-boats would
not become real menace. Not only
are the British establishing q con-
voy system but they are understood
to have other methods, developed
since the World war, Of combating
undersea boats.
British Confidence
This British confidence was re-
flected In communique accusing
Germany Of waging unrestricted
submarine warfare. Further, the
communique gave hint of the new
navy drive to sweep the seas free
Of U-boats.
It was clear, the communique said.
that German submarines had been
at stations on ocean trade routes
with orders to sink merchant ships
on sight without warning, several
days before the war broke out.
"The royal navy Is taking ener-
getic measures against enemy SUBJ
marines" continued the communique
1T Is inevitable that initial losses
should occur when dealing with an
enemy who Is obviously planning
ruthless submarine warfare and
where there are q number OF SUBJ
marines distributed over q very wide
area"
Undesirable News
It was undesirable to publish news
Of destruction Of enemy submarines
the communique said, because 1t was
discovered during the last war that
