under the wing of tho Emergency Aid
Cdmmltteo Mrs. Tullldge said she had
founded the committee to purchase am
bulances for tho two nations named In

"Mrs. Tullldgo explained that her son

ACCEPTED AS ATIVIT.TAnV
K'The upshot of It was that the Am
ulance Committee was accepted ns an
auxiliary of the Emergency Aid Com
jnlUee; and that this fact was Indicate 1
In the new title, -which was the German-Austro-Hungarlan
Ambulance Commute'!
of tho German Relief Committee of tha
Kmcrsency Aid, of Philadelphia. Roomj
at the headquarters were assigned to the
new commtttco and things went well.
There was a Joint meeting of the German
Iteljef and Ambulance Committees Jnn
uary IB, at which the Consuls of Ger
many and Austria-Hungary were present
nnd Mrs. Tullldge and her plan received
b formal Indorsement.
"Subsequontlv Mrs. Tullldge told thnt
she Intended to send her funds direct to
Vienna, to be spent thero for ambulances
Tne rulci of the Emergency Aid Commit
tee provide that all moneys raised under
Its Indorsement shall be expended In this
country, and. If nosslble. In this cltv. Mrs
I Tullldge was sq Informed, and much
negotiation between the two bodies failed
to secure from the larger body consent to
any1 change In the TUle. A special meet
ing of the two committees took place last
Thursday at tho Bellevue-Stratford.
"Mrs. Thompson was out of town, so
Mrs. C. H. Frailer, of 1724 Spruce street.
presided. Mrs. Antonio Erllch, of the
staff of the Ladles' Home Journal, nnd
president of the Ladles Auxiliary of the
German Societies of Pennsylvania, be
sides being a member of tho German Re
lief Committee, was present.
MRS. TULLIDGE INCENSED.
"Mrs. Tullldge was told of the rule
governing the expenditure of moneys
She and her committee replied that thoy
could not Agree -with that condition. Mrs
Frarler raid that then the two com-
'mlttees could not got along tocethcr. Sirs.
Tullldge and her partv .said that they
would leave at once. Mrs. Prazler said
that the arrangement was agreeable.
"For the next 20 minutes Mrs. Tultldgk
held the floor. Her auditors were speech
less. They were shocked, offended and
outraged, but they saw fit to make no
reply to Mrs. Tullldge and the meeting
broke up,
"There has been no diminution of the
membership of the Emergency Aid Com
mittee. We are told that the ladles of
in 9 amouiance committee are going on
with their work and that they expect
the Ambassadors from the countries they
are working for to be present. The
Emergency Aid Committee Is not con
cerned with the ball nnd has never been
farther than haying lent tho committee
the prestige of Its name for a few weeks.
"We might say in this connection that
nbout ZS committees and societies apply
for the use of our name every week.
Some want to share gate receipts with
us on the proportion of 10 per cent.
"The Emergency Aid Committee will
pot state the nature of Mrs, Tulllgde's
rmarka to the ladles at this meeting.
Ve- merely say that we could not dignify
thera with a reply We do not Impugn
her motives The ladles of the Emergency
AW Commltte. have no reason to believe
that Mrs. Tullldge was aware of the rule
.governing the use of moneys. Mrs.
Thompson, when she accepted the ex
tended aid of this commltee to Mrs.
Tullldge, did not think to bring the mat
ter un.
"Wo do not care to say f any mem
bers of the Emergency Aid Committee
hsva -withdrawn their patronage from
Mm. Tullldge. It Is not our concern."
WASHINGTON, Feb 2. Ambassador
Page, at London, todny Informed tho
State Department that tho British Gov
ernment would sclzo the Wilmclmlna,
which sailed from New York lecently
with n cargo of food shipped by the W
T Green Commission Company, of St
Louis, to mi American citizen In Ger
many. Cone Johnson, solicitor of the State De
partment, declared that Great Britain
had Ignored the guarantee of Germany
that the enrgo would be used only fur
German civilians, nnd had based Its de
cision on tho ground that tho German
Government had Issued a decree taking
over all foodstuffs, thus making food
absolute contraband
He inclined to the Jew that the decision
of British to seize the ship virtually
meant the stopping of food shipments
from the United States to Germany
Inasmuch as the WUhclmlna sailed
from New York with a cargo of food
stuffs consigned to private Individuals
In Germany before the Issuance of tho
German decree ("Vlnclng such supplleu
under Government Jurisdiction, the State
Department's understanding vvns that
Great Brltnln would reimburse tho Ameri
can owners for the full value of the
shipment.
It has been made clear to the De
partment that tho British determination
to block further food commerce between
the United States nnd Germany Is based
on the theory that there Is no way of
telling. With distribution in tho German
Government's hnnds, whatever tho Ger
mans might pay about It, that such sup
piles were not being used wholly or in
part for military purposes.
LONDON, Feb 2. While It Is no secret
here thnt the Prltlxh Government does not j
ui an nice tne tiallsrer of German ships
to a neutral flag, there Is not the slightest
doubt that under certain circumstances
Great Brltnln will not object to tho opera
tion at present of German ships under the
American flag.
Under no circumstances, however, will
Great Britain acquiesce In ships engaging
In Germnn trade, and It Is In pursuanco
of this policy that the Dacla will be
seized. Government purchase of ships is
regarded, despite the fact that Great
Britain will not object, as something dis
tinctly advantageous to England's enemv.
but In American Interests tho British Gov
crnment is willing to waive Its rights In
the matter.
Hundreds of persons entering or leav
ing the Heading Terminal nnd other
podestrlnns have stopped to look at A.
wooden box covering a manhole In, Mar

"Whnt'B the trouble with the sower?"
asked n traveler.
"Out of commission, waiting for the
city to make repairs," replied a reserve
policeman.
For four days merchants on Market
street nnd drivers have been waiting pa
tiently for the Bureau of Highways to
mako repairs of the Bewer over which a
settling of flit dirt recently occurred
According to the policemen In the
vklnlty, a complaint was sent to the
Bureau of Highways several days ngo
When no one appeared to make repairs
policemen coveted tho mnnlinle with
tho box Then a representative from the
Bureau of Highways arilvcd nnd attached
the sign bearing tho word "danger" on

When inqulr was made todav nt tho

In the South American country Is opened
to tho huyers of Europe It will mean a
sharp decline In the price of American

Whether or not this market will bo

"The drunkaid can't do what he ought

lies causes her womanhood to wither, sho
can't live the kind of life she would live
because she Is withered. In every church
thero are persons who cannot do what

He could not helrt discuss n. .-....-
dltlona he witnessed nt the city's hos

"It's the oldest thing Philadelphia has,
next to the Liberty Bell, out of date; out

the prestnt enrolment There have been
more than JS.000 "trall-hltters" here.
The collections have also been good
Mr. Sunday declares it Is always much
easier to do effective salvation work after
the money for tbe expenses has been
provided To date ,UM9 has been
received toward the expenses, so It is
believed the expenses of about f 30,000 will
have been paid In by tho end of this

He Is already working on new sertnona In

Discussing the plan of 1500 to D000
Princston students to com hsre to at

delighted to have them if arrangements

WASHINGTON, Feb 2 -Ship purchase
bill amendments limiting to six 111011 tlm
the length of time the Government may
lease a ship to a prlvato corporation, em
powering tho Government to fix mini
mum rates under tho lease and invali
dating the lease itself If these terms are
violated, were Introduced In tho Senate
this nfternoon by Senntor La Toilette. It
was reportod they reprsentcd tho agree
ment between tho President nnd tho In
dependent Republicans with whom he had
conferred.
Senator Clapp Is said to havo told Mr.
Wilson he did not consider the President
Interesting himself In legislation before
Congress to bo nn oxccutlvo function
under tho Constitution.
As a result. It was said no agreement
was reached, ns was believed to havo
been the case with Senators Kenyon nnd
Norrls, who wore understood also to have
laid before the President views of Sena
tor La Folletto. The latter talked over
tho whole situation with tha President
several days ago.
Frantic nnd visible efforts to win Senn
tor Kenvon back with the old-line Re
publicans in their opposition to the bill
were made on his return from tho White
House, senator Smoot, one of the lead
ers In the fight against the bill, urged
strongly on Kenyon the necessity of op
posing the ship purchnse measure, but
apparently with no success.
A resolution was Introduced by Senator
Burton, of Ohio, calling on Secretary of
Stnte Bran to know If any protests had
been mado by any foreign countries over
the proposed bill. It went over until
tomorrow at tho request of Senator
Fletcher, of riorlda.
A Republican caucus, or what vlrtuall
amounted to one, was held In Senator
Galllnger's office to discuss Just what
tactics to iursue if the forces ngalnst the
ship purchase bill should bo broken by
tho change of a few Independent Repub
licans to the President's side.
Fearing It would be impossible to de
feat thp motion to send the bill back to
the committee, which. In the opinion of
friends and enemies of 'the "blli' alike,
would be the last that would be heard
of It, a proposal was made In the Demo
cratic caucus to amend this measure.
The Idea vvns to provide that tho com
mittee should nt the exolratlon of n. clven
time report the bill to the Senate with
such amendments ns tho committee mlgl-t
deem necessary.
Strenuous objection to this motion was
made by many Democratic Senators on
tho ground that three Democrats of tho
committee vvcro opposed to the bill. These
nre Vardaman. of Mississippi, Clarke, of
Arkansas, nnd Bunkhead, of Alabama.
