Doctor McKlm's nddicss last night

ltl 100 persons who assembled to hear his
jLjjrka on "Is tho Episcopal Church

i Although he did not mime tho two
Hihops who had Issued tho challenge,

'from English statute books how this name

r One of the sensations of Doctor Mc
Klm's address came when ho referred to
Rector Manning, of tho Trinity Church,
IXew York city, who Is one of tho most
bitter opponents or tno rrotestant ennr
cter of tho Church. Doctor McKlm called
attention to tho fact that in the charter of
Wrlnlty Church, granted May (!, Ifi07. tho
eipresslon "Protestant Church of Kng-
land" occurs live times, and that this
charter made It obligatory that tho min
uter In cliargo of tho parish should only
be "a good, milllclent I'rotestatit min
ister." ft. Doctor McKlm dwelt in detail on other
phases of tho history of tho Kplscopal
Church and its formularies to show that
llti rrotestant character Is unmistakable.
Vl am tempted to indulgo In a lawful
slarocatlon of saints," ho said, "to invoke
the names of thoso who, having finished

Protestantism leads to atheism. Tho Hov.

"SUNSHINE" NURSERY
IS TOLD TO CLEAN UP;
CITY CONTROL URGED
Director Kruson Finds Refuge
for Children "Poorly Kept."
Directs Better Sanitation
in Conduct of Placo
FAVORS THOROUGH PROBE
Director Kruscn, of tho Department of
Health and Charities, throiiRli tho division
of houslnff and sanitation, today Issued
orders for n Reneral "clean up" nt the
homo of the Philadelphia Sunshine Day
Nursery Association, nt C47 North I lth
street. Director Kruson lias no direct
control of day nurseries oilier than re
KardlnR their sanitary condition, but In
Issuing tho clean-up Instructions he made
It evident that ho would resort to court
nctlon to close tho placo If no Improve
ment Is made.
In discussing conditions at tho "Sun
shine Homo," tho Uliector said: "I have
had the nursery InvestlKnted nnd from re
ports fi om 'our Inspectors learn that It Is
very poorly kept, at least from n sanitary
standpoint.
CITY'S roVsfill I.IMITP.D.
"Tho Department or Health should havo
contiol of day nurseries and a bill should
be Introduced In the next Legislature Blv
InB us such control. Ah it Is all I
can do Is to improve the sanitary arrange
ments for the small number of children In
tho place. It seems to be n queer sort of
Institution at best. I called up one ma -whoso
name appears on tho list of direc
tors and he assured mo that ho knew notji
lug about the Sunshino Nursery. Others
whose names aro listed as directors appear
to be In tho same situation. Conditions nt
the nursery seem to warrant an exhaustive
investigation, but my power Is limited. I
mean to do everything possible, however,
to make it easier for tho children. I hao
on my desk a full repot t of the place, and
it shows that conditions at the nursery
are anything but what they should be.
The Sunshino Day Nursery Is operated
by Mrs. Lillian Clark, who Is said to en
tertain an average of a dozen children
In rooms reported to bu squalid and lllthy. j
Tho placo is supported Hi part ny tlio
salo of a booklet entitled "Sunshine." Tho
cost of the booklet Is 10 cents, and the
assertion H made that fiO.OOO copies aro
sold In this und other cities each year.
This alono gives an income of $0000. Tlio
nursery. Is owned by Sirs Clark, and was
investigated on complaints made to Di
rector Krusen by tho Society to Protect
Children from Cruelty, tho Society for
Organizing Charity nnd tho Philadelphia
Association of Day Nurserlos.
MATllON DWUNDS IIOMll.
Mrs. Clark explained today that those
booklets wore her sole moans of income
and that from their salo she got only half ;
a nickel of each booklet's proceeds goes
to tho sales agent, sho said. She declared
that sho would welcome an Investigation
of tho nursery and the business methods
employed In running it.
Tlio nursery was clean nnd comfortable,
though It needed overhauling, Mrs. Clark
said, and, although bhe planned to have
this dono, a hanging case of grip for tho
last two months has kept her from mak
ing tho stnrt.
Thcro wcro 10 children thero this morn
ing, nnd they seemed happy and well
cared for. Tho nursery Is In tho heart of
tho Tenderloin, and tlio mothers of the
children thcro cared for aro unusually
poor.
Mrs. Clark answered the attack that the
directors of tho nursery wero not bona
tide thus: k
"When I began some years ago, I ob
tained tho moral support of these direct
ors. I do nil tlio work and thero Is noth
ing for them to do; I simply wanted the
uso of their names. This they granted at
the time, and I havo kept carrying their
names along. They wero satisfied then,
nnd I havo never conferred with them
since. They understood at tho time that
I was asking only for tholr names, not
their time, nnd I havo never bothered Blnco
to get In touch with them."
Mrs. Clark charged that Jealousy on tho
part of tho organized chnrltles was re
sponsible for tho attack. She will suo for
libel, pho said.

ASQUITH MOVES NEW
WAR CREDIT OF MORE
THAN TWO BILLIONS
$2,100,000,000 Sum Asked From
Commons, Biggest Loan in
History of English
Parliament
BIG LOANS TO ALLIES
LONDON, Feb. 21.
Premier Asqtilth In tho House of Com
mons this afternoon moved a vole of
credit for $2. 100,000,000 Willi which to
carry on tho war. The ctedlt Is In two
parts, the main sum being $1,500,000,000
nnd tho remainder $1100,000.000, a supple
inentnry credit.
This Is tho btRgest Mite nf credit ever
moved In tho history 'of tho Houso of
Commons.
Tho money thus obtained will run tho
government until about the end nf May.
Hetween April, IMS. and last SntUr
day,hn lolnl credits oted by Commons
were $5,!!!0.000,000.
From April, 1115. to Fehrunry 10, 1016,
the Hrltlsh Ooxcrtimctit spent $1,174,000,-
000 for ammunition and guns for tho
army nnd navy.
It Is costing approximately $15,000,000
dally to furnish at my and navy muni
tions. Since the outbreak of tho war Knglnnd
has advanced $792,B0O,O0O to her allies
nnd rolonles In loans.
The cost of the war has mounted stead
ily. During tho spring of 10 iS It wns
estimated at $11,000,000 dally, whereas
It Is $25,000,000 a day now.
The treasury still has In hnnd from
previous votes of credit $510,000,000. Mr.
Asquith said. This Is enough to run tho
Government until about the 10th of Mnrch.
In moving the new oi edits, Mr. Asquith
snld In part:
"It Is uncertain whnt sums will be spent
between now and the end of the Usual
year In purchasing American securities.
It Is desired by the Treasury to repay
substantial sums to the Hank of llngland
for moneys advanced.
"Tho Flnanco Committee of tho Cabinet
hns appointed a special committee of busi
ness men to outline a program that will
combine business economy nnd elllclency.
1 do not think, however, that tho present
system can bp Improved on. The Govern
ment Is still conlldont of tho Justice of our
cause and that our cause will eventually
win "
It Is estimated that tho war Is now cost
ing Knglnnd more than $750,000,000 a
month, with no prospect of a reduction In
sight.
The first stop In the Government's cam
paign for economy has been to close many
of tho public museums which have hither
to been supported by the National Treas
ury. Celebrate

It is the best Piano made; not because we say
so, but because over 50,000 Cunningham
owners say so; and who knows better than
the music-loving homes that have invested
their money in Cunningham Pianos and have
found them to be all and more than they
expected ?
We do not ask prospective Piano buyers
to accept as a fact the statement that we
make the best Piano; but we do ask you to
investigate this statement and to consider the
fact that we are the only Piano Manufactur
ers in Philadelphia that for over a quarter
of a century we have been making and selling
Pianos that we sell from factory to home
direct that we save you 25 to 30 that
over 50,000 homes own Cunningham Pianos.
