so quickly and for five cents on tho new

All you have to do to secure these bene
fits, which will add so much to your com

able you to save both time and mnne, Is
to pass the transit loan.
"I urge every worklngman In Philadel
phia to go to work today among his friends
and get them t6 tyrn out on election day
and roll up a huge majority for tho transit
' loan, which will really bo a huge majority
for their own welfare."
Mayor Smith opened tho flnal week of
the tight to have the city's bonded Indebt
edness Increased by mora than $114,000,
000 by a confident prophecy of the passage
of both tho $7.00O,00O transit and port
t bill and the i47.000.000 general Improve
ment bill.
Mayor Smith said:
"1 am certain that both tho transit and
general loans will win by largo majori
ties. 1 have been offered aid from all
sides and am confident of their success.
Every ward leader with whom I have
talked has promised support for thd
measure.. I am not in factional politics
and am not talking anything but the
ban bills."
"I can honestly say that all the ward
leaders I have seen regarding the loans
havo promised their support to both the
transit and general loans. I believe tho
citizens generally realize tho Importance of
the measures and wilt back them to such
an extent that there will be no danger of
their failure."
McNICHOIj MEN PltOMISE.
Asked if he had not conferred with
James Carey, McNlchol leader of tho 6th
Ward; Ellas Abrams, a McNlchol leader
of the 16th Ward, and with other leaders
who are friendly to Senator McNlchol, the.
Mayor said:
"Yes, I saw tho.. men and tbey hare
promleeJ to .upport the bill.".
In .reply to the question, "Does not that
Indicate that Senator "McNichol's frlonds
aro for the loan?" the Mayor replied:
"You will have to draw your own con
clusions as to that."
"I am not talking factional politics."
the Mayor continued, "but I am talking
loans, and I mean to talk loans right up
to May 16. I havo already seen many
ward leaders and mean to see them alt be
fore the close of the week. They havq
j been asked to call, and the reason I have
not seen more Is because I have been un
avoidably tied up with other matters.
The conferences wll be continued eery
day at my office, and I have speaking en
gagements for almost every night.
"I have nothing to say about Senator
Vare's reply to Senator Penrose, and I do
not mean to talk on factional politics. If
anything occurs to change my deternr m
' tlon along this line I will issue a state
ment from ray office to the public."
REPORTS GRATIFY HIM.
"I am receiving encouraging reports as
to the loans from all sections of the city,
and they are very gratifying to me, I
believe that more than any man in the
city of Philadelphia I am for the liana
and their success is my one desire,
"I am working with the one end of
having them succeed and there is no
doubt In my mind but that both bills wilt
1 be approved by the voters generally. I.
mean to tell the voters at every opportu
nity the advantages that will result to
them by the passage of the loans."
The support of the residents of the cen
I tral city wards and of the residents of the
I Northeast for the transit loan Is urged
' by ex-Director Taylor In statements made
publlo today and yesterday. In the state-
t ment to the residents of the Northeast.

SEES END OF CONFLICT
uaron wilhelm M. A. von Orgler, an
Atistro-Hungarlan noblemnn, who bears
the scars of two wounds received In the
European conflict during tho engagement
In the early stages of tho war, In the
battles of the Drlna River, arrived In
this city yesterday, Tho Baron, accord
ing to his own statements, has come to
preach preparedness In tho fullest sense
of Its meaning; preparedness such as will
secure this country against the aggressive
ness of any nation bent on war.
Baron von Orgler, or Doctor von Orgler,
as ho would prefer' to be called, was In
capacitated for further service nnd Is now
visiting this country In an effort to re
store his shattered health nnd strength.
Ho Is extremely democratic In his man
ners. The nobleman Is a firm belleer In
peace, liming seen nil the' "glories" of
war that ho needs. He terms tho Euro
pean conflict a senseless slaughter, saying
thnt the glory and honor of a country
ought to bo preserved In some other way
than by taking the pick of her men and
feeding them to cannon.
He predicts that the wnr will bo over
before the coming fall. The present at
tack on tho forts of Verdun Is tho be
ginning of tho end, ho declared.
Ho said that nlthough Gcrmnny had tho
financial and food resources to carry on
the war for tho next 1C 'years, still, tho
best of her troops had been used up, whllo
tho Allied forces can continue almost In
definitely to pour In fresh men.
"From August 28, for four nnd ono-half
months, I was constantly In tho fighting,
first at tho River Drlna nnd later nt
Hhabatz. My foes were tho .Serbians nnd
tho Montenegrins.
"A few weeks In the cavalry service
tako away much of tho glories of war
fare, nnd substitute, Instead, the horror
of the real thing, tho doing without tho
comforts of civilization, the return to tho
primitive. The only thing It really ac
complishes Is tho malting of beasts out of
men.
"After I was wounded I wns taken to
a Servian hospital. Whllo thero I wns
permitted to correspond with my relatives
In Roumnnla, nnd through their help I
was allowed n great deal of freedom In
my movoments. Upon my being dis
charged from the hospital I succeeded In
making my way to Vienna, whoro I was
discharged from further service In tho
war.
"Now that I am In America, I feol ns
though I never want to go back. Nothing
would please mo better than to become an
American citizen," emphatically declared
tho Baron, who spqakB English fluently.
I care nothing -for my title. Titles nro
lndlrectcly responsible for tho great wnr.
The Ignorant classes are the beasts that
aro bolng led to slaughter. I am tired ot
tho whola business."
When Interviewed at tho Hanover Hotel,
where he has engnged a sulto of rooms.
Baron yon Orgler voiced his sentiments
regarding the position of this country lrf
relation- to tho European war.
"The' American people, as a nation
should prepare for war, whether they an
ticipate In it or not," ho Bald. "Prepared
ness Is tho only safe insuranco against
war. The foreign population of America
should be given every opportunity to em
brace citizenship.''

Miss Susan I Maalntyre, of 1715 Norrls

lived" people, and who Is celebrating her
95th birthday today at tho Woman's Hos
pital, North College avenue and 22d street,
believes that using curl papers Is condu
cive to making women forget their age
She Is not secretive about the curl
papers either. She is perfectly willing for
her friends to know that she does not
have "naturally curly" hair, and she Is
aUo perfectly willing for them to know
that she wants to look as nice as possible.
She w"ent to the Woman's Hospital a
few weeks ago In a slightly run down con
dition. She believes an ounce of preven
tion is better than a pound of cure and
went In time, so now she Is almost well
and will be able to go home in a few
days.
Miss Maclntyro will go down to the
clinic hall of the hospital to attend the
mualcalo which will be given there to
night to raise funds for the X-ray depart
ment. Then, too, she will have a small
party of friends In her room this evening,
before the concert.
Miss Maclntyre's hearing Is peculiarly
acute. She has to use glasses for reading,
but as she is nearlng the 100 mark, this
Is not considered serious.
She comes of a long line of long-lived
people. Her mother, who had a dozen
children, died just It years ago, at the
age of 102 years. Miss Maolntyre has a
brother, Henry Maolntyre. 86 years oldj'a
Bister, Mrs. Elizabeth C. "Walter, 90 years
old, and the baby of the family, Mrs.
Fannie Johnston, 70 years old.

at the hospital. They are glad she Is get

OYRIL MAUDE DECIDES SUNDAY
IN PHILADELPHIA NO PtJN DAY
'Poor Grumpy's Quest of Sabbath Zest Reveals on Test
Our Week Start Here Is One of Rest for
Selves and Guest
If one wants to be happy In Philadel
phia on Sunday he can go to tho Zoo. He
may also drop In at Fnlrmount Park.
And, of course, there's always Memorial
Hall, If you happen to be of nrtlstlo bent.
After this, a plate of Ice cream and a
glass of soda will put the finishing touch
to An exciting day.
Whllo this Is all very well for one
Sunday, visitors often wonder what resi
dents do with tho other 61, or 62, as
there are this year. This was a puzzling
question to Cyril Maude. He likes Phila
delphia, nnd went out to see more of It on
Sunday afternoon. In the, hope, Incident
ally, of getting a little pleasure.
In London the theatres are open on
Sunday, there are sports, and, In fact,
things are no different than on any other
day. Philadelphia being one of the largest
cities of the United Stales nnd a manu
facturing centre, Mr. Mnudo thereforo
sauntered off to a "movie" theatre. But
ho got no further thah tho tloor. Ho no
ticed that numerpus attractions were
billed, but unfortunately .there was nn
Iron gate stretched across tho entrance.
It wns Joined by n ery emphatic lock.
"What time docs tho show stnrt?" tho
actor asked a nearby policeman.
"Tomorrow morning nt ll o'clock," re
plied tho cop. somewhat amazed, Then
he saw thnt Mr. Maude was a stranger
In town nnd Informed him that the movies
ucro not open on Sunday. The actor was
astonished. He expressed wonder ns to
how tho working people, whoso long hours
thrnneh tho week prevented them from
seeing pleasure, obtained any amusement
"I've often thought about that myself,"
said tho policeman, "but no one Beems
to cans."
"Grumpy" foit Juit llko his name for
the time being, but he Joined n few friends
nnd motored out to the Athletics ground.
A good Am'orlcan game of baseball, they
thought, would help matters Bomo In tho
way of a gloom chnser. But tho party woo
worried on the wny out for tear of not
getting n scat They know that tho ball
gnmes, ns a rule, wore largely attonded.
Tho lsltor reached 20th street and Lo
hlgh avenue In good tlmo nnd rushed to
the rcscrcd scat entrance, nut tno uttie
window of tho ticket ofllco wns olosed
"Sold out, I'll bet," said Mr. Maudo,
"we'll try another entrance "Lot's tuke
nny kind of 'an old seiit being as wo're
late," said ono of the party.
And so they scurried to another win
dow throughly resigned to sit In the
bleachers as a last resort. Horrors 1 Even
hero the box office was closed Tho
actors looked at each other. "I always
understood thero was a great doal of
oxcltcmcnt at one of these games," said
one.
"I don't hear tho slightest sound," said
Mr. Maudo.
"It might bo ono of those tenso mo
ments," suggested nnother,
"Well, Jt's positively lasting a long
time," one of the party declared.
A small boy happened along. He eyed
the smartly dressed visitors curiously.
"I say," said Grumpy, "Is there any
other way of getting Into this nrcna?"
"What d'ycr want ter git In fer?" asked
tho boy.
"Why, to seo tho gamo, of course," said
tho actor wondering nt the youngster's
stupidity. ,
"Dero ain't no gamo on Sunday."
The vIsltorB were Bpeechlcss. A silence
of several moments followed.
"What's the next moe?" ono of them
asked ' Mr. Maudo, who was acting as
general guide.
"Lot'srtry Falrmount Park. I bellevo
there's considerable going on out there."
That sounded good, so tho party mugged
to thp park. Tho visitors wero slightly
encouraged on seeing a number of tennis
games In progress and folt that at last
thero would bo something doing.
They rode and rode and rode, but tho

only thing that greeted them were a few

Eventually the party reached Memorial
Hall But ns they neared the entrance
they pictured nnother 'gate with an an
tagonists lock, nut no, they stopped
somewhat startled. "It's open," gasped
one of the visitors They entered some
what gingerly nnd viewed thd various
works of art with much Interest
Incidentally they noticed a sort of
hushed attnosphere about the place, as
though thoso who entered realized the
fact that It wns Sunday, These reemed
to be a painful rigidity about those who
moved softly about and the very paintings
themselves appeared to resent Sabbath
Inspection, I
Mr, Maude wns elated on returning to
his hotel t' loom that thero was a con
cert on Sunday night. He wns there when
tho doors opened, nnd made his way to
the box ofllco In happy anticipation to buy
tickets. ., , .
"Vou should have bought your tickets
yesterday," salt! the ticket Beller. "We
don't sell tickets tonight."
"But tho musicians play tonight,' ns
scrted Mr. Maude.
"That doesn't matter. No tickets sold
today." ,, ,
Then, with horror, tho actor realized
thnt It was Btlll Sunday.

clared today In a stashing minority com-

In addition to attacking extravngnnca,
the two nssalled the committee for having
eliminated from the bill n provision to so

an appeal by President Wilson.
"Such considerations ns getting battle

said.
"Utterly unnecessary at nny time, this

establishment of a national committee to
