HEADQUARTERS OF THE CANADIAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Jan. ...
. Embedded in the heart of the Rrcnt Canadian army in Frnncc is a botlv of
American citizens in khaki who have alrc.ndy succeeded in clTcctinj another
of several revolutions produced in warfare by the United States.
Tho first, and most important was the aeroplane, invented by the WriRhls;
the second is tho machine kuii, originally (Isoifjned by Hudson Maxim, with the
newer Lewis light machine Rim, easily carried, or for use on aeroplanes. The
third revolution is one I would hardly believe had 1 not had ocular demonstra
tion. It is the conversion of the British Tommy to faith in pork and beans
instead of the beef on which he has fought since tho time of tho Norman conquest
of England. t
Those Americans in tho British army with whom I have just spent a day
ore a part of the topsy-turvydom in which we are living, and when I saw them
marchinp back from the trenches to such tunes as "My Country Tis of Thee"
nhd "Tho Star Spanned Banner," with less classical and more modern ragtime
music, I wondered what the small American boys who have so often tested me
on the Fourth of July celebration in your countty would have thought of this
factor in the war that is not sufficiently known in the United States.

Pickets surrounded tho Manufacturers'
Club today in an effort to persuade women
against serving as strikebreakers following
tha walkout of waiters Inst night. The
club advertised for women to serve In place
of tho dissatisfied men, and a large number
of applicants lesponded.
As each woman approached the club she
was addressed by a picket, .she was told
that the food was poor and that she would
bo unfairly treated, so that many of tha
women deddeU not to apply for jobs.
A detail of police from the Fifteenth and
Locust streets station was on hand. .The
pickets agreed with the bluecoats that they
would act in oiderly fashion, that they
would move continuously and that they
would not block the highway. They kept
their promise and tho policemen offeied no
Interference wun ineir activities.
Whether lunch would be served at noon
today was problematical. According to cm
ninves of the institution telephone calls
weio made to members notifying them that
no meals would be served until the strike
nas been ended. This was denied by John
l-'isler, chairman of the house committee
of tho club.
'f am as happy as a lark," said Mr.
Fisler. "We shall serve lunch to as many
members as desire it perhaps to 200 per
tons. We anticipate no trouble. Our only
difficulty is in getting women who want to
apply for positions past the lines of the
pickets. They speak" to these women and
tell them stories that are untrue, Influencing
them against accepting employment."
Men regularly employed at the club re
che from $53 to ?65 a month, and the
strikers demand a uniform wage of $75,
The "lunch men," who are employed only
for the noon meal, receive l a day, and
tbey demand $10 a week. No tips are per
mitted at the club.

According to Auditor General Powell In s
a lengthy piepared statement defending the
Jj.ocrrior'8 expenditures of the State .funds
for purely personal purposes today, the
Governor Is answerable only to his own
conscience for tho manner -In which he
spent thu contingent fund appropriated by
tho Legislature for his "traveling and other
necessary epenses."
, Mr. Powell wrote It "cheapens tho Repub
lican organization and tho people of Penn
sylvania to raise objection to tho necessary
expenses of the maintenance of its Kxecu
live Mansion out of tho treasury' of the
Commonwealth, and not out of the private
pocket of a man unable to bear that ex
pense." The Auditor General admitted he had
