NO WAR TRUST
PRBPAKEDNES3 civn be stifled !n Its in
fanoy beyond all hope of recovery by
the simple prooeaa of forming a War Trust.
Mr. Fordi millions would not bo a drop
In the bucket compared with tho effect to
be achieved by a thousand demagogues run
ntnr about the country crying that tho men
urging preparation were those with money
Invested in factories producing war muni
tions. Give Mr. Bryan a handle of that sort
and ha will find enough support In Con
gress to emoscutate any program for relief.
A War Trust would mean millions of the
publlo money expended In Government plants.
Already the propaganda against private man
utectura of munitions has won a large fol
lowing. nA Wot Trust, with tho smell of
the Krupp scandals yet In the air, would not
be. conducive to enthuslastlo acceptance of
and support by the people of a comprehen
sive campaign off preparation.

lack of preparation and denouncing society
for not giving them a chance to get on. they
are spending their surplus energy In hunting A

IS THE CITY AGAINST TRANSIT!
rpilRrtlO Is one way to prevent universal
transfers and a comprehensive transit
system in Philadelphia, and that Is by the
election of Smith and Connelly.
Dave Lane was the Intermediary In put
ting Smith over on tho Vares. Davo Lano'n
Ideas on trnnslt are well known. Ho believes
that tho people of the community wcro put
hero for the special purpose of producing
dividends for the Union Trnctlon Company,
which company, according to Davo Lano, Is
a philanthropist because fares to West Phila
delphia aro flvo Instead of ten cents. Davo
Lano Is one of those who bellovo that any
thing Is good enough for peoplo who do not
own their own automobiles. Imagine him,
or a creature of his, being really In favor of
rapid transit! To spike tho transit program
was Davo Lane's first object In selecting a
candidate. He chuckles when he thinks how
cleverly he has put It over. He laughs out
right when he reads the market and sees how
his stocks have risen at the prospect of
Smith In Blankpnburg'a seat and Connelly tn
the chair now occupied by Mr. Ryan.
Mr. Connelly, It may be remembered, na
chairman of tho Finance Committee of Coun
cils, was sponsor for the fake ordinance that
all but killed transit development. It was
he who acquiesced In, it ho did not father,
an ordinance notoriously defeciUo legally.
Public opinion compelled a revision; but oven
then It was Connelly who kept It In such
shape that the enemies of the Taylor plan
were confident the Mayor would voto tho
measure. Fortunately, tho Mayor was big
enough to checkmate tho whole scheme, rely
ing on the voters this November to repudi
ate the obstructionists and place In office a
4iew Councils heartily In sympathy with real
rapid transit.
The City Solicitor must approve nil con
tracts beforo the Mayor signs them. Ho can
prevent rascality through this power. Ho
can hold a bad Mayor in check. But with
Smith In the one seat and Connelly In the
other, what power would there be to prevent
handing the city over hog-tted to Its ex
ploiters? With these two in the places of the
mighty, citliens can imagine what kind of
contract would be signed for the operation
of the new lines and what chance there would
be of universal transfers. There Is no likeli
hood of another orgy in ordinary franchises,
but there Is every chanco of the city being
mulcted of Its advantages unless sincere,
capable and true friends of transit represent
the publlo Interest.
The issue in November is larger than the
candidacy of any man. The very future of
the community is wrapped up in rapid tran
sit, and the next administration will deter
mine in whose interests the contracts shall be
signed. The construction work Is important,
but far more important are the contracts for
operation. '
The cltlxen who is for rapid transit is
against Dave Lone, against Dave Lane's
man and against Connelly, who has tho
hardihood, after his record in transit affairs,
to come into the open and ask that he be
given legal control over every transit con
tract and agreement into which the munic
ipality may enter.
It is, indeed, time for cltlxens to wake up.
-THEM THAT HAS GITS"
THB money for the hat billion dollar loan
for the Allies will be provided by the
great bankers and the captains of industry.
No sooner was it announced that the Allies
intended to spend the money here in the pur
chase of food and munitions than rumors of
tho formation of a great steel corporation
began to bo heard. The corporation was to
include both producers of steel and those
great industries which change the raw ma
terial into the implements of war.
Now wo aro given to understand that some
of (ho bankers negotiating the loan aro back

planning toonake their commissions for rais
ing avast fund to be spent hero and to make
tho vast profits on tho business by supply
ing munitions to be paid for by tho loan
which they have negotiated, and an inci

this much In admitted by publicists and
eoholars of thin city who Investigated at
Madison, but they concodo merely elabora
tion and advertising, not Inception of the
system, which mnkes nVullablo tho expert
training of scientists and sociologists for tho
publlo service. For this Is what the Wiscon
sin Wea really is, broadly speaking; this,
combined with University Extension work. '
Ttefercnco to the University of Pennsylva-,
nto. catalogues of recent yoars will demon
strate how Important a part tho University
of Pennsylvania has taken In public nffnlrs.
"Absent on publlo buslnoss" nppVars after
many names.
Actlvo Lcavo--of "Absence
8o longao as-1893 Samuel McCune Lind

versity of Pennsylvania- and now Professor
of Social Legislation nt Columbia, was ap

Sonato rinanco Commlttco to report on

and 1900 tho oxpert on tho United States In-'

from 1900 to 1902, Governor Brumbaugh, then
Professor of Pedagogy at tho University, was
tho first of sovoral Commissioners of Educa
tion Pennsylvania furnished to Porto Blco.
Tho catalogues abound with many other In
stances too numerous to mention.
Unlike Wisconsin, tho University of Penn
sylvania has not yet attempted to cover the
entlro Stato In Its extonslon work. But it
has reached out by degrees to various In
dustrial and commercial centres In the years
since tho quiet Inception of tho servlco, and
dcflnlto results havo been accomplished. Tho
Idea of looking after tho public welfaro In
stead of restricting Its opportunities to the
clnsscs "was old at Pennsylvania before It
had been heard of elsowhcre, for the present
grent Institution, Is founded on the "Charity
School," organised In 1740, continued as the
"Academy" In 1749, and chnrtered by Thomas
nnd nichard Penn In 1753 as "Tho Academy
and Chnrltablo School." This, two years
later, by ft confirmatory charter from tho
"Lord Proprietors." developed Into "The Col
lege, Academy and Charltablo School." Out
of It roso tho University of Pennsylvania,
Incorporated In 1791, and tho first American
Institution chartered ns a university, i
University Extension proper, as originated
nt Oxford nnd developed In this country by
tho Society for the Extension of University
Teaching, has dealt almost exclusively with
literary, esthetic and, In general, cultural
subjects. Tho University of Pennsylvania,
through Its "Wharton School, however, has
mado a departure that represents n marked
advance. It has carried out tho original Idea
of democratising knowledge, of bringing the
University to the people who cannot come
to the University. It has maintained its
academic Ideals, but has tempered them to
the practical demands of modern American
business life.
Reaching Out to Ambitious Youth
An Innovator In Its Wharton School of Ac
counts and Finance In 1SS1, three decades
later. It decided upon the policy of making
available the courses In economics, account
ing, transportation, commerce and cognate
subjects to out-of-town students. Previously
It had made these courses accessible to am
bitious young men employed during tho day
through the Evening School of Accounts and
Finance. In 1912 tho University created the
Extension School of Accounts and Finance.
Classes now meet In Scranton, Harrisburg,
Wllkes-Barre and Reading. They pursue A
course of study consisting of four subjects
each year, extending over a period of three
years.
Members of the faculty, who give the same
courses In the Wharton and Evening School,
conduct the work of the Extension School.
The plan adopted, which has proved success
ful In operation, has been to have the fac
ulty member In charge of each course con
duct every other session of the classes, which
aro held weekly. In alternate weeks the
courses are In charge of assistants. Liber
ality of admission requirements Is character
istic of the extension courses. Matriculates
must be at least IS years old. If less than
21 It is required that they have preparation
equivalent to three years tn a recognized high
or preparatory school. Candidates more than
21 years of age, who do not offer such a pre
paratory course of study, aro admitted on
satisfying the faculty that they have had an
amount of business experience and general
knowledge sufficient to pursue the work "with
benefit.
It Is the policy of the University to "ex
tend the extension" as rapidly as possible to
other centres. The growth of the out-of-town
courses has been extremely encour
aging. Each year large numbers of 'aspiring
young men havo availed themselves of the
opportunity to make themselves more effi
cient business men, offered by the extension
school. Its success has paralleled that of its
progenitor, the Evening School, which, since
its foundation in 104, has been the leader as
well as pioneer of similar institutions.
Promoting Public Health
The University cqmes in close contact
with the general welfare at another and
vital point the publlo school system.
Through tho college courses for teachers it
opens out to the scheolmarms and peda
gogues of tho city's schools the rich resources
of learning of the most eminent members of
its faculties. These courses, in which aro en
rolled a large proportion of Philadelphia's
teachers; aro given in tho afternoons and
evenings and on Saturdays.
Another public servico activity in which
the University biased tho way was the es
tablishment of the course in publlo health,
graduates of which are eagerly snapped up
by municipalities all over th.e country. For
completion of theso conrsea, the degree of
Dr. H. P. (Doctor of Public Health) is
awarded. In charge of this school la Dr. A.
C Abbott, for many year chief of the Bu
reau of Bacteriology of Pnllstlelekls.

CAPTAIN KNAPP; ALL-ROUND SAILOR
The Dead Commandant of the Navy Yard Had Seen Service in
All Sorts of Ships in All Parts of the World and
Won Honor Everywhere.
By C0ROL"N BULLEY
CAPTAIN J. J. KNAPP. commandant of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, who died last
night, was unfortunate enough to get through
Annapolis in '73 when thoy graduated
young men as cadet midshipmen, and it
took nearly two
years' "experienco"
and another set of
examinations to be
come even a full
fledged midship
man, whereas now
adays young men
emerge from the
naval college as en
signs, a whole rank
above midshipman,
which represents a
difference of dollars
as well as dignity,
for which reason
they usually get
married the day
capt. j. j. KNArp. after they graduate.
Now. do the sons of any of our standard
alma maters automatically land U700 Jobs on
graduation?
Captain Knapp got ahead about as fast
as he could, however, and In 1SSL as a past
midshipman, was ordered aboard the XL
S. S. Wachusett, on which he cruised round
Alaska and In tho South Pnclflo for about
three years. In those, days, you know,
there really weren't any fleets, but usually
separate ships, or possibly two or three to
gether at times, going their own ways.
Next the captain served on the training
ship New Hampshire at he Job of making
seamen out of raw recruits who aiani een
go to Annapolis, and then in 1SS5 was or
dered to St. Louis as assistant inspector of
lights on the Mississippi River, between St.
Paul and New 'Orleans. Possibly the fol
lowing years of Captain Knapp's career were
not so exciting nnd fascinating as you may
Imagine. If. like myself, you see that part
of the Mississippi enUrely through the eyes
of Huck Finn.
In 1SS7 Captain Knapp indulged In another
cruise in the Southern Pacific waters, around
the Hawaiian and Samoan Islands.
When he was detached from this service
on returning to San Francisco, the captain
was sent on duty to the naval-proving
grounds the place where they try out our
guns not so satisfactory as a war, by a long
chask. but better than nothing. Not long
after that he was put In charge of a class
of seamen whom ho Instructed in ordnance
i. c how guns are put together, set up and
operated) in a gun factory.
In 1S93 the United States sort of spread
herself socially, as it were, by having Ad
miral Qherardl bring his squadron, to whose
flagship Captain Knapp was attached, from
Port Townsend. Washington, by way of tho
Magellan Straits, up to New York, and drop
In at the various countries on the way to
invite Governments to take part in the naval
review, to be held at Hampton Roads in con
nection with the Chicago World's Fair. It
rather reminds one of the way it used to
bo the smart thing in small towns when
you were giving a party to send a man in
livery (or the best-looking substitute you
could get) round to all the houses with a Itst
of the guests to bo invited, and if yon had
a nicer engagement or serious differences
with some of the crowd yon saw on the list;
you crossed your name off.
yiehtinp Poisonous Gases
After tbl graceful little performance was
over. Captain Knapp was ordered to the
Washington Nary Yard as aid to the com
mandant, and while in this post was alee
recorder of the labor board, which was at
tuoptlnc to devise some aort of civil serv
ice means of selecting the employes ta tke
navy yard. Tou fcee. a navy ya esBfOossi

GOING, GOING
gan. "Politics" Is a poisonous, 111-smelllng
substance, like the gas In German bombs,
that can penetrate proverbially airtight de
partments. All sorts of antidotes and pro
tective muzzles aro continually being de
vised, yet thousands of our true reforms. In
fact, nearly all of them, die of It every year.
It has another likeness to the gases used In
the present war, in that sometimes when the
wind changes suddenly men die of their own
politics. If the navy Is successful in exclud
ing tho nasty stuff we shall respect it as wo
nover did before, even if It doesn't stand first
In the .world's series of navies.
In 1897 ho set forth with Commodore G. A.
Howell as flag lieutenant to tho Mediterra
nean squadron. This meant more "peaceful
cruising" till they arrived at Lisbon. Portu
gal, where they got word of the blowing up
of the Maine. After various experiments
with a "made-ln-Germony" torpedoboat,
which even ally proved unseaworthy, the
captain retutied . to America in command
of the U. S. S". Topeka. On arriving in New
York, by the way, he had that uncanny ex
perience of reading his own obituary in the
newspapers. It having been reported that the
Topeka had collided with o. merchant vessel
nnd sunk off the coast of England.
A Target for Spanish Gtms
Captain Knapp's nextreal excitement ar
rived in August of 1S98, when he was on the
San Francisco in Commodore Howell's
blockade of the north side of Cuba. One fine
days the guns of Morro Castle (a fort, not a
royal abode), let fire at the San Francisco at
close range. The San Francisco (this was
the exciting part of it) was given .stringent
orders not to return tho Are. Tho confidence
Washington apparentfy felt in the poor aim
of the Cubans was Justified, because only one
shell did hit tho mark, and at that did llttli
harm and Injured none. But still, one can
not help wondering if the officers and crew
didn't-feel rather nervous through inactiv
ity with that bunch of express trains roaring
over their heads.
As the captain has had an embarrassingly
full life. I guess we will have to begin Jump
ing down. The years 1S99 to 190S Included
more duty at the Washington Navy Yard,
service in the Philippines, during the insur
rection, a trip to the Lubang Islands to set
tle a domestic foment, a post as superin
tendent of the nautical school at Manila,
duty as inspector of guns at the naval gun
.viurjr in n osnington. a record trip In tho
Celtic from the Bremerton Navy Yard
through the Magellan straits to New York,
three months in Cuban waters, when the

In October of 190S Captain Knapp in
given command of the U. S. S. Wyoming,
which changed her name to Cheyenne, the
first ship of the navy to use crude oil at
fuel. She was commissioned to try the thing
out, and made exhaustive tests which es
tablished the value of oil for this purpose.
It Is understood that his report on the sub-
Jcct was accepted by the British Admiralty
without further experiment, and caused them
to build oil fuel dreadnoughts.
In the next few years the captain served
as hydrographer at Washington, and In tbt
Naval War College nt Newport, and had
command of the Connecticut for two yean;
during which ho spent many month'
anchored off Tamplco, that time when the
Mexicans made faces at us and wouldn't
promiso never to do It again.
In 1914 Captain Knapp took the new Min
ister down to Haiti. It was an off season
for revolutions, there being no election 6a
at the tlmo. Or, perhaps. It would be more
truthful to say that there was no election
on, there being no foreign capital at hand to
finance a revolution.
After a short period of duty in Washlnr
ton as a member of the naval examining
board on promoting and retiring; officers,
Captain Knapp came on June JJ, 191B, to UU
the post of commandant of the yard at
Philadelphia.
