Thtcc dormitory buildings, that will ac
commodate 600 feeble-minded women, In

Doctor Harte snld today that ho hoped

crowded wards to tho new Homo for
Feeble-minded Woman within tho next
few months. Ho Is confronted, how
ever, with tho necessity of providing u
power house for heat and light at the
institution bcfoio tho I transfer can be'
mwle. He has already chosen n site
forthe power plant and work on it nlll
bo started Immediately.
The now laundry and dining room
buildings at Bybeny are of brick and
Indiana limestone and were constructed
by Sax and Abbott, contractors. Tho
construction of the three dormitory build
ings has bcon delayed because of tho
abrogation of tho contract by tho original
contractor and the necessity of tho bond
ing company's completing the work.
Five hundred male defectives are now
V housed In cottages at Byberry and all
the women defectives In the city's care
nre kept In tho ward of Blockley.
Doctor Harto will hnvo accomplished
the removal of at least 1500 Indigents and
Insano persons, from Blockley's over
crowded wards before next spring. Flvo
hundred male Indigents havo already been
taken to the new Homo for tho Indigent
at Holmesburg nnd BOO more will bo trans
ferred within tho next few weeks.
Tho transfor of 800 women to Byberry
within tho next few months will add to
the relief afforded at Blockley. Doctor
Harte will urge construction of additional
buildings nt Byberry to house at least 500
more women defectives.
Director Cooke, of the Department of
Public Works, has advised Director
Harte that tho expenditure of the $1,000,000
provided for Improvement of Blockley In
the loan could bo done through the Public
, Works Department to tho elimination of
J Philip J. Johnson, "architect In per-
' petulty" for the Department of Health
and Charities.
Councils will render Impossible any such
arrangement ay. directly appropriating tho
loan Item to tho Health Department for
the benefit of Architect Johnson. Tho
lnflucnco of Charles Segcr, Organization
Councilman on the Finance Committee,
wll bo swung In favor of Johnson nnd
i (he possibility of tho work being- done
under the Public "Worka Department will
be eliminated.
Doctor Harto Is eager tohave the work
on Blockley proceed without delay and
on that account will not opposo John
son's claim on tho architectural part of
the contract,
MOSLEMS TURN DEAF EAR
TO APPEAL FOR HOLY WAR
American Bishop Find a loyalty
Among Allies' Subjects.
LONDON. Nov. 26. Tho Itcv. Dr. W. F.
Anderson, of Cincinnati, Bishop of tho
Methodist Episcopal Church, has arrived
In London after a visit to Mothodlst mis
sionary centres In North Africa. In con
versation with a Dally Chronicle repre
sentative he said he was much Impressed
by the loyalty of the Moslems In Algeria
and Tripoli to France and with their
understanding of the real matters at Issue
in tho war.
Ho said he was especially struck bv
the fact that these zealous Moham
medans had not been affected by the
proclamation of a holy war in Con
stantinople. They knew quite well that
this was duo to German, not Moslem, ln
BDlratlon. "From Marseilles," said Bishop Ander
son, "we went to Oran, from there to
Algiers, then to Biskra and Constantino,
and Anally to Hunts. On the way back
We stopped at Fort National. We made
it our business to call upon officials or
our Methodist Church and upon local "of
fflclala to discuss the situation with
special reference to local Mussulman
opinion. From all sides we received
evidence of the loyalty of the Moslems
to the French Government.
"During one of our Journeys we fell
Into the company of a group of leading
Arab merchants, who unanimously re
pudiated the ideas of responding to the
declaration of a holy war by tho Sheik
til Islam. They were all unqualified in
their avowal of loyalty to tho French
Government, which, they eald. had been
fljelr protector, .and under which they
ha'd prospered. They added that they
would be sorry to seem to be at varl-
(ance with the Sultan of Turkey, but
they were emphatic In their assurances
that tho Constantinople proclamation
; wouia noi weaKen me allegiance of the
l North African Moslems to the French
f Government."
Doctor Anderson thinks 'Iha unitv nt
I Mohammedanism as a political force
"has been broken by the nowar nt m.
cient government In India, Egpt and
t0w-f wvio in .n.Fjci. no Data,
dia 1 rtnd any -Mffii or aymptora of
yropatfiy with Germany."

LONDON, Nov. 56.
"The time has not yet arrived when
the, facta regarding the escape or the

BRITISH WAR LOAN
IS LIKELY TO DRAIN
U. S. MONEY CENTRE
Liquidation of American Se
curities Logical Result of
Necessity for Huge Pay
ments. y
NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Wall street Is
Inking too Httto Interest In the ultimate
effect on tho money markets of the
world of the subscription to the new
English war loan of ti75O,0OO,C00. "When
the terms of subscription were first an
nounced houses here with London con
nections received cables from their cor-
! respondents reading, "Loan open; pleased
i to subscribe."
It cannot be learned that these cables
had any actual results. Most of those
who received them gave the cables little
more than acasual glance and threw
the missives to one side.
That Wnll street did not subscribe to
any material amount of the loan does not
enter Into the question. Undoubtedly
many of the subscrlfiers nro heavy hold
ers of American securities, nnd ns the
Instalments to the subscriptions become
due It wilt be found that American so
Ulrltlrs will bo sacrificed In order to pro
vide funds for these payments. This will
add another Item to the large number of
cash contributions from this side and
will piesent now problems for our finan
ciers to solve.
These payments nre to be made every
60 days until the end of April. The Initial
payments may be mado without resorting
to tho sale of other securities In hand,
but with Incomes of Investors In other
lines reduced nnd further payments to
meet there li ccrtnln to arise the neces
sity for replenishment of cash resources,
and this can only bo dono through the
liquidation of holdings of American Issues.
In London yesterday the first effect of
the loan vwas shown lu the decllno of
consols to below tho minimum ptlce of
ESH. There was n noticeable absence of
Inquiry for subscription privileges, al
though It was nssertcd that the loan was
heavily oversubscribed, but Instead sub
scriptions were offered 1-16 per cent, dis
count. With Germany, France, Italy and Itus
tiL embarked In a campaign of extensive
'financing. English nnd Colonial Investors
must bear the burden or this English loan,
which Is the greatest single financial task
ever placed upon a nation nnd Its friends.
How much assistance will be obtained
from those friendly sources are hardly
ROMANCE, PATHOS, HUMOR
OF GREAT EUROPEAN WAR
A poor old womnn went Into a Paris
pawnshop the other day nnd offered a
5-frnnc piece In pledge. "Why do you
want to pawn your own money?" asked
the clerk in astonishment. "We can only
give you three francs for It." "That will
do." said tho woman. "It was the last
and only thing my dear son could give
me before ho went to the war. and If I
didn't really need tho money I wouldn't
part with It; but as soon as 1 can I'll
come back and redeem it."
Ofllcers' dugout quarters In the
trenches of East Trussla aro furnished
with rich carpets, handsome bedsteads,
costly pictures and shelves of costly books
taken from houses of captured towns.
A Peuter dispatch says 63 lawyers
have been killed In German ranks. They
Include 120 Judges, administration offi
cials and public prosecutors, S3 solicitors
nnd 173 roferendaries.
Having heard "It's a Long, Long Way
to Tlpperary" so frequently, the British
authorities thought it only proper that
the Germans should ascertain for them
selves the exact distance. Five hundred
Germans prisoners have Just arrived at
Templemore, County Tlpperary, and were
mightily amused when they learned that
they nutl reacnea mo aput umuc luiuuua
by Tommy Atkins.
"All the Germans seem to know the
tune of 'Tlpperary,' " said o non-commls-sloned
officer In charge of tho prisoners.
"Our advanced outposts heard them sing
ing it In the German lines one day, and
our fellows Joined In as we went for
them with the bayonet."
How an old peasant destroed nn Uhlan
patrol, at the risk of Ills own life, has Just
been told In Paris. The French troops In
retiring blew up n bridge over the Olse
close to the old man's house, but there
being many refugees who were unable to
get ncross, the old man ferried a number
of them to the other side. Then a patrol
of Uhlans rode down to tho bank and
the officer shouted: "Here, you dirty old
Frenchman, you can ferry us across; we
are going to find out which way your
runaway army has gone "
The old man without saing a word,
pulled his flatboat Into the hank, and ill
lowed the Uhlans to board with their
horses, then with the boat laden down to
the water's edge, he pushed off Into the
stream. Half way across the Olse there
was a dangerous eddy, and lie guided the
boat straight Into the current.

AUTOS IN FOREST SERVICE
Government Testing Their Efficiency
in Fighting Flames.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26. Automobiles
of special construction are being tested
by tho Forest Service, It became kridwn
today, for uso of forest rangers In fight
ing forest fires. Tho experiments are be
ing made over n wide range of country.
Tests are under way to utilize the motor '
engines also as a means of pumping
water for uso In fighting the flames.
"Automobiles, where they can ' bo
used," says a preliminary report, "furn
ish tho qutckct and cheapest transpor
tation for crows of fire fighters. Tha
time-saving element Is very evident, trips
which ordinarily require two dnys ' by
team having been mado by automobile
in a few hours."
What is supposed to be record speed In
getting men to a forest lire wa re
ported from Oregon, where on one of tho
national forests a ranger went to town
In an automobile, hired ten men and got
this force to the fire 12 miles away within
43 minutes af,- lie was notified by tele
phone. As tho eddy swept the boat from side
to side he gnve a dexterous twist of one
of the sweeps, and In a moment the
whole party, horses and men, were strug
gling In the wnter. The Germans had lit
tle chance. Weighed down by their heavy
boots and accoutrements and mixed up
with their plunging horses, nil were
drowned. The old man. wno had swnnv
In tho river from boyhood, worked his
way out of tha dangerous current arl
reached thfe bank, in safety.
Copies of a proclamation whlcn nxo
have been posted throughout Servla by
the Austrlans, nnd which have reached
Tarls from Vienna, have caused soma
amusement. "By tho will of God, who
guides the destinies of peoples and tha
strength of his Majesty the Emperor
Francis Joseph." It reads, "your country
has been 'subdued by force of the arras
of the Austro-Hungarlan army. You havo
submitted to a rule Just and wise ot tha
Gospodar, who sent us. not to avengo
nnd punish, but to Inaugurate a reign ot
truth and Justice. TruBt In his clemency,
trust In the soldiers, who love Justice and
nre conscious of their 'July. They will bo
a strong guard for your country, nnd pro
tect you devotedly."
Five motor lorries ot the British Army
Ordnance Corps, conveying ammunition,
were cut off by the Germans and the men
in charge, to escape capture, made oft
across country after blowing up the am
munition. One, however, refused to leavo
and remained hidden In a wood at the slda
of the road. Tha Germans, finding tha
ammunition destroyed, went off, and as
soon as the coast was clear the soldier
who had remained hidden came out. See- '
Ing that tho wheels of the lorries wera
intact, he managed to get one of tha
motors going and. hitching (he other four
behind, he succeeded In bringing his con
voy Into camp.
