arc that tho decision has been readied
nnd tho delay In making an announce

Tho Btep has been ngrocu upon oy

Tho Entente Powers, according to ad

to argue that both Presidents Lincoln nnd
Johnson, In formal proclnmntlons Issued

A gaunt, emaciated mosquito, with dark
hollows under his eyes, wasted to a shad
ow by lack of food, rose In slow spirals
somcuhcrc south of Shunk street, his
senses keenly alert for tho mnn smell.
Suddenly ho cnught It, buzzed nnprlly
and started north.
Behind him rose his heroic brothers and
sisters, billions nnd billions of them, nit

they bad been lying In a state of coma

About this time South nnd West Phila

much of a breeze, but It was something.
"Gonna cool off after all," said South

Then South nnd West Philadelphia
lost tliolr dignity, polso, comfort, con

Ellen, acoordlng to the police, decided
to run away yesterday afternoon, and at
nightfall, unable to find her way back,
eat down on the uteps of the grocery
ttoro of Joseph Klines, ot 70S Spring Gar
den street, and cried.
"Why, that's Benner's little girl," re
marked Hunes to Ills wife, "I guess I'll
take her home.' Hunes put on his coat
and hat and took the child to the home
of Frank O. Benner, at 615 North Frank
lin street. When he reached there he
found no one nt home, so he tried the
knob nnd found the door open. Then he
took tha sobbing child, who persisted she
did not live there, up to a bedroom and
put her to bed.
The child, exhaustod by her excite
ment, fell off to sleep and was discovered
by t-year-old Elisabeth Benner when the
family returned about midnight from an
outing. Elizabeth did not care to have
her father put Bllen out of the bed. so
the children slept together.
Meantime Special Policemen Ernest and

As they entered the station house this

ATMOSPHERE OF WAR
INCREASES RECRUITING
Young Men More Anxious to
Enter Service When They
May Go to Front
Officers hi charge of the Army and
Navy recruiting stations In this city
have noticed no' Increase recently In the
number ot enlistments because of crit
ical situations which havo arisen In the
relations of the United Statos with for
elan nations. Despite this, they say, or.
ders calling for Increases In the com
plement of both Army and Navy are ex
pected,
The increase In the number of ships
has made a corresponding Increase In the
number of men necessary". A report from
Washington says that Secretary Daniels
will suggest to the President a greater
complement when he presents tha special
repoita on the needs of tho Navy asked
for by "Wilson.
In the last year and a quarter there has
been an Increase of 0 In the number ot
naval vessels In full commission. Tho
complement of men has been brought up
almost to the limit preserlbed by law by
the addition, during that time, of Bill
men.
It Is felt, however, that the limit must
bo raised. Lieutenant Commander Ro
per, who Is in eharge ot the Navy Be
orultlng Station at MIS Filbert, street,
says that on August 13 the Navy lacked
but 971 men of Its full strength ot 61,500.
Becrutts are still being taken, and the
number of applications remains about
the same. Because under the present
regulations so few mm can ba reerulted,
