CITY EMPLOYES TODAY,
GIVE PORTION OF PAY
TO POLITICAL CHIEFS
Puroly "Voluntary" Assess
ments and Republican Cam
palp;h Fund Aro Called for
by David Lane
TAX HAS GONE UP
. Although today Is the aemlmonthly pay
day In City Hall, th event I not, a usual,
one of Unmixed pleasure for municipal em
ployes. With the Not ember election ap
proaching and a deficit of nearly ISO.OOO
owing by tht llepubllcan City Committee,
the annual call for "voluntary" political
contributions has gone out and the city em
ploye aro expected to hand over to the
leaders their atresement from the pay
which they are to rtcelve today.
Unfortunately for tho officeholders, many
of them had taken seriously Mayor Smith's
promise that he would not stand for the
"gouging" of employes. But In spite ot this
the word has gone forth that the assess
ments will bo higher than ever this year In
order to replenish the depleted campaign
chest of the nepubllcan organisation.
Day laborers who have been asking for
an Increase above 12 a day have been told
that the usual contribution of two days' pay
will not suffice this year and that another
day' pay must, bo added, bringing their
total to U.
With an increase of fifty per cent In the
assessment of laborers, the amount expected
from the other officeholders Is being passed
along from mouth to mouth.
To emphaslte the verbal warning that
this Is the time for tho annual plucking,
David It, Lane, chairman of the Republican
city committee, ha sent out notices to
municipal officeholders and political, worker
that they are expected to make "volun
tary" contributions to the Republican war
cheat.
Mr. Lane's notice foltows:
Dear Sir: '
A voluntary contribution to the Re
publican Central Campaign Committee
for campaign 'expenses will be much
predated, Youra truly,
DAVID H. LANE, Chairman.
Hatry C. Ransley,
Chairman Finance Committee.
Contributions by check should be
drawn to the order of Thomas F. Wat
son, treasurer.
The notices were sent out early this week
In order that the men might have them be
fore the semimonthly payday and to ar
range their plans accordingly. In times
past It was customary when sending out
the notices to Indicate with a blue pencil
the amount of the assessment. Caution has
been observed thl time not to mark the re
quests but to leave It to the designated at
tache In each bureau to pass along the
word how much is expected of each person.
The assessments aro said to range from
10 per cent on the salaries of the directors
and bureau chiefs down to three days' pay
for day laborers. It is not known yet
whether the police and firemen will be as
sessed. The old basis of contributions for
employes In the Department of Publlo
Safety was 110 for the city committee and
IS for the word committee in which the
employe resided.
FAR EAST SITUATION
NOT YET SETTLED
United States Continues to
Probe Conditions Regardless,
of Susso-Japanese, Assurance '
WASHINGTON", Sept. Hr-Notwlthttand
Ing official denials from Russia and-Japan
that neither the new Russo-Japanesetreaty
nor Japan's demands on China threaten the
"open-door" agreement, State Department
officials today are .continuing their In
vestigation of tho Far East situation. That
It Is more grave than appears- on the sur
face was learned In official circles.
The fullest possible report to supple
ment Information already In the depart
ment's flies hae been asked of nil Ameri
can officials connected with far eastern
affairs. Julian Arnold, commercial attache
of the American Legation in Pekln, who
reported In person to officials here two
weeUs ago, has been recalled to Washing
ton fori conferences with Secretary Lansing.
Arnold left Washington, recently for the
Pacific coast on confidential work for the
Department of State.
Officials today pointed out that the cable
grams, from Ambassador Guthrie in Toklo
and Ambassador Francis In Petrograd. stat
ing that they had been officially Informed
by Japan and Russia that American In
terests In China were not affected in any
of the recent diplomatic moves, were the
view of the Japanese and the Russian
Governments only and did not necessarily
mean thl Government looked at matters
from the same point of view.

, ADMIRAL BENSON SPEAKS
Admiral Benson's spocch. which preceded
the boat trip of the woterway boosters
from Camden to League Island, made plain
the value of Internal water lanes In time
of war. He urged Government control
of the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal and
the construction of canals for wartime
waterway communication between Phila
delphia and New York and Norfolk.
Admiral Benson said in parti
"I believe we owe it both to our own
generation and to posterity to see that
such a system of connecting channel Is
provided for and accomplished with the
least possible delay. I firmly believe that
thlB generation would be Justified In the
Issuance of bonds. It necessary, for this
work, 'and let posterity help pay the cost.
"Some of these water routes hae been
allowed to deteriorate. Some are leased to
railroads on long-time contracts and the
railroads have not been encouraged to
keep them up. It would seem a "wise mili
tary precaution to force upxeep under pen
alty of forfeiture of lease.
AS TO RAIL TRAFFIC
"The threat to stop rail transportation In
a way simulated war conditions, for In
time of war the railroads would be so taken
up with the transportation of men and ma
terials for the suddenly and enormously
enlarged army that the delivery of ma
terials and supplies for the navy would,
undoubtedly prove a serious problem.
Realising this, the Navy Department set
about, when the possibility of a strike
arose, to devise ways of getting its sup
plies and materials other than by railroad.
"A system of canals connctlng the vari
ous porta along our Atlantic coast would
facilitate and safeguard the passage of
battleships, submarines, destroyers, torpedo
boats, fast motorboats, eta, up anddown
our coast, wherever and whenever they
might be needed. Such canal would also
facilitate tho transportation of men to and
from training stations, receiving ships,
marine barracks and hospitals.
"Our principal navy yards, private- ship
building plants, arms and munitions fac
tories and powder magaxlnes are ' located
along or near the Atlantic coast A system
Ot adequate Internal waterway connect
ing 1 these activities would be of value
beyond" estimate."
REVIEWS MEETING
Congressman Moore, president of the
waterway boosters, after reviewing the
work of the convention, said: "One great
result accomplished by the convention has
been to attract the attention ot the busi
ness men who have been suffering from
freight congestion, and citizens generally,
who have been paying a higher1 cost of
living, to the importance ot the Improve
ment ot the Inland waterways for trans
portation purposes.
"Another Important feature ha been the
emphasis placed upon the wisdom of taking
over existing canals alone tne mora
populous center of the Atlantic coast for
purpdses ot national defense.
"The delegates to thl convention will go
home to their various States with a high
appreciation ot the commercial and In
dustrial supremacy ot the Delaware and
with a better understanding of the value
to their own communities ot a Unking up
of their1 own water courses with that great
est ot American commercial waterways."
RECEIVED JN CAMDEN
The delegates and visiting ladles, as
sembled at 0 o'clock this morning at
Market street ferries, where they were con
veyed In a special boat to Camden. On
the Jersey shore they were meet by a recep
tion committee and several thousand
spectators. Mayor Charles II. Ellis, of
Camden, delivered an address of welcome
to the body from the plaza opposite the
ferry landings. His cordial welcome
brought a hearty response from Congress
man William S. Bennett, of New York.
"The Delaware River" was the subject ot
the next address, made by Congressman
Peter E. Costello, of Philadelphia. ,
"We want a SB-foot channel on the
Camden side of the Delaware RIVer and
we shall keep on agitating until we get
it," aald Mayor Ellis. Camden and Phila
delphia are linked by common tie and the
great commercial business transacted be
tween the two cities demand better ship
ping faollttles. Wa should have a deeper
channel across the river from city to city."
President Moore, In answering the Mayor,
declared that It wa equally a Important
that Camden hav a SB-foot channel a It
wa for Philadelphia, and that It wa the
purpose ot the association to work 'for It,
Mayor George Alnalle, of JMchmond, Va.'
and Congressman J. Charles Llthlcum, ot

TURKEY PERMITS AMERICAN
RELIEF TO BE 8ENT TO SYRIA
Ottoman Government Had Previously
Refused to Allow Shipments
i
WASHINGTON, Sept. IB. The Turkish
Government, In a communication Just re
ceived at the State Department, consents to
the shipment of relief supplies from the
United States to famine sufferers In Syria.
The action reverses the previous attitude
of Turkish officials, who had refused two
urgent pleas by the department for the
privilege to make such shipments. '
Distribution of the supplies, which al
ready have been offered In large quantities
by Syrian and Armenian relief societies,
would bo made under 'the Turkish plan,
through the port of Beirut. State Depart
ment officials believe that Inasmuch as the
French Government has been anxious to get
such supplies through and may -Itself con
tribute, assent of the Entente Allies for
passage of shipments through the blockade
of Turkey may be confidently expected.
In her previous communications regard
ing Syria, Turkey had Insisted that there
was no urgent need for relief supplies there.
Advices from other sources, however, con
vinced the State Department that many of
the Inhabitants had been reduced to star
vation, and Turkey was Informed In July
that" continued failure to heed the American1
request for permission to make ahlpments
would put a severe strain on relations be
tween the two countries.
