TRANSIT PLEDGE TAKEN
BY ORGANIZATION MEN
Smith and Connelly Swear
They Will Rush High-
Speed Lines
Thomas B. Smith, Republican Organi
zation "harmony" candldato for "layor,
and John P. Connelly, Organization can
dldato for City Solicitor nnd leader of
the transit obstructionists in Councils
duilng tho last four years, last night
promised to work to glse the city real
rapid transit during the next adminis
tration. "Real rapid transit must be had and
can be had under a progressive admin
istration, and If I shall hnve nil opportun
ity to till the otllce of Chief Exccutho
I will see to It that this great need shall
not bo delayed," was the pledgo made by
Mr. Smith.
Connelly placed transit at the head of
tho list of great public Improvements,
which, he raid, must h'v carried to a
completion during the next four years.
"The transit situation must be cleaned
up, and the new conrtltutlonnl amend
ment will provide nmplo money to carry
on this work to complete. It during the
life of the next administration," ho said.
Both candidates made their pledges at
ward meetings In tho northeast, under
the sponsorship of thp Vnres, Accom
panied by Congressman Vnro and Receiver
of Taxes W. Freeland Kendrlck, Smith,
Connelly, Coroner William It. Knight
and James M. Hazlctt, candidate for lte
aflrder of Deeds, addressed meetings of
the wnrd committees and active Organi
zation workers held in the Antl-Cobden
Club. 19th Ward: Vesta Club. 31st Wurd.
United Republican Club, 45th Ward, arjd
the 33d Ward Republican Club.
Mr. Smith promised r "constructive ad
ministration." Connelly, after discussing
transit, outlined the public Improvements
for which contracts will be lot durln;
tho next four years If the Organization Is
Victorious this fall. Hq snld:
"Harbor development nnd the means
whereby tho port can be developed will
be at hand after tho coming November
election. The health and comfort of our
people must, be provided for In a proper
sewerago disposal plant; tho water ss
tem must be enlarged and developed and
the present excellent nitration system
more largely extended so that the bene
Hclal results of this system will be felt
over the entire city.
"The great NortKeast section of Phil
adelphia must be looked after nnd the
contemplated public Improvements car
ried out. There must not be any de
lay In this work. Indeed, tho Hrst work
of the new administration must be to
cast bickerings aside and to have the
people realize and feel that respective
of section or locality, their Interests will
be looked after This, however, can only
be done by realizing our responsibilities
and by appreciating the needs of our
peoplet and thereafter possessing the
vigor to carry the same Into, effect.
"At no tlmo has Philadelphia cvor been
flnanclilly In a more desirable position
than that which exists at the present
time. Money Is available and only needs
the vigorous application of business prin
ciples to successfully work out the prob
lems Involved."

TEUTONS 2LAN TO CRUSH 3ERVIA,
OPEN BALKANS AND END WAR
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
DEnUN. SeVt. 18.
A mighty blow In tho Balkans may end tho war before spring1. By
blasting n road through Scrvla to Bulgaria the Austro-Germnn armies may
settlo not only the Balkan question, but bring an early pence.
Both here and In Vienna the Idea of n. sudden stroke In the Balkans
meets with popular approval. In Vienna, In pnrtlcular, foreign press reports
that tho Austro-Gerrnans will soon throw troops against. Scrvla nro
widely commented on. Vienna belloves no other military move promises
such an early indlnir of the war.
Military men here agree that It would be comparatively easy to defeat
Servla. A short march through the .torthcastern part of Scrvla would Unit
up the central empires with Bulgaria, already very friendly In her rela
tions with Turkey, Austria and Germany. If Bulgaria fights at nil It is
certain she wjll fight beside the central empires, with the strongst nnd
best equipped array In tho Bnlkaps. Her entrance would complete a great
chain of armies stretching from tho Baltic to tho Bosphorus, Invincible
In power.
When I left Vienna early this week the Austrian capital was filled with
Balkan visitors, especially diplomats from Rumania nnd Bulgnrin. Impor
tant negotiations were going on In Rumania, It was understood, but reports
In the English newspapers that Rumania would enter the war on the aide
of the Allies aroused no concern. Bulgaria having established friendly con
nections with Turkey, no ono doubts In Vienna that tho Bulgarian armies
would Ake the field at once If Rumania declared war on tho Turks.
The Allies apparently haVe lost their chanco of winning Bulgaria. Bul
garia. Is still dickering for a slice of Groclan Macedonln, but Greece seems
to have no Intention of giving Up this territory. The Bulgars aro so
satisfied with the concessions granted by Turkey that It Is doubtful now
that they would swing td tho Allies even If Seria Bhould at the 11th hour
grant all Bulgaria nsks In Macedonln.
There Is n bare possibility, however, that Rumania might Influonco
Bulgaria by ceding territory If sho was threatened with attack by the Allies.
Rumania, It Is tho belief In Vienna, Is anxious to play the diplomatic gamo
as long as possible for tho largest possible returns.
The whole Balkan situation muy be summed up In tho statement: "If
one acts, all act."

PARIS, Sept. 18. Switzerland Is being drawn nearer nnd nearer to

The Echo Intimates that the Germans may invade Switzerland In order to
attack the unprotected frontier of France, south of the present sphere of

GARRISON WILL ASK $250,000,000 FOR THE ARMY
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. Secretary Garrison will ask Congress, if Presi
dent Wilson gives his approval, for $250,000,000 to strength the nation's military
defenses. His estimates are now virtually complete and ready for sub
mission to President Wilson.
NO COAL, WARSAW FELL
NEW YORK, Sept. 18. The Russlan-Americnn steamship Kursk, In from
Archangel, was stopped in the White Sea several hours while mine sweepers
made a safe channel. In the steerage was Dr.. H. C. Letneweber, asslsstant
librarian in the division of music in the Congressional Library, and his wife
and child. He was visiting the parents of his wife, who is a Pole, when tho
German army Invaded Poland and exhausted all his money to escape from
the war zone.
Doctor Lelneweber said Warsaw was lost to the Russians through the
breaking down of her railroad system, due to a shortage of coal. They had
munitions In abundance, but were unable to get them to the front because
locomotives gave out at critical moments for lack of coal. While the Russians
were retreating on Warsaw tralnlonds of shells and cartridges were side
tracked on the main line back of the battlefront. A locomotive would stop
,for lack of fuel and would hold up miles of trains behind it. Sometimes It
was three days before a wheel moved.

1 has it proven other than futile effort. Notwithstanding the FACT
that Governor Curtis, of Maine, and United States Revenue Commis

laws fall to enforce the ban upon alcoholic beverages, there still re
main "dry" advocates who continue making FALLACIOUS out
cries for impractical Prohibition statutes.
