3 Best way to secure peace is
to establish "nnval interna

n Stand by the President.
Jacob Gould Schurman, president of Cor
nell University and former United States
Minister to Greece, speaking nt tho Uni
versity Day exercise of the University of
Tennsjhanla In the Academy of Music
today, advised against a lenguo to enforce
peace and urged patrol of the seas by
rules of world poweis as a means of pre
venting war.
Doctor Schurman pointed to the present
course of Germany In emphasizing the act
that civilization has not yet reached the
joint where right Is greater than might.
He earnestly warned against craven yield
ing to Germany and appealed not only for
support for President Wilson but for an
adequate preparation to back stern action.
As he was touching upon Germany's
present course In regard to U-boat warfare,
a woman in the audience nroso and cried
out, "What about England's actions are
they not the same?" She was requested by
attendants to leave tho place and did so In
the company of another woman. The heck
ler refused to give her name, but stated
that In her opinion England had committed
lust as grave wrongs on the high seas as
had Germany. A little applauso greeted
!;i'tho woman's Interruption of President
Echurman's speech.
The noted diplomat and educator spoke
on "Washington: Then and Now," nnd his
aodress answered for many In his large
audience of students and scholars the ques
tion what Washington would do In the
present crisis.
Doctor Schurman received the degree of
doctor of laws: being one of three to re
cede honorary degrees. Leopold Stokowskl,
conductor of tho Philadelphia Orchestra,
received the degreo of doctor of music and
Herbert Clark Hoover, chaliman of the
Belgian Relict Commission, tho degrio of
doctor of laws.

THREAT OF A NATION-WIDE FOOD
REVOLT FORCES RAILROADS TO
CUT RED TAPE AND RUSH RELIEF
i
U. S. Officials Co-operate With Lines to Get
Provisions to Distressed East Move
in Congress to Institute Federal
Control of 'Supply
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.
An embargo on exportation of food products and other necessi
ties of life is proposed by Representative Warren Worth Bailey, of
Pennsylvania, in a resolution he introduced in the House today.
Railroad officials and tho Interstate Commerce Commission, scenting n
natiOn-widc revolt ngainst the steadily increasing cost of living, have cut red
tape, discarded train schedules and sidctrncked passenger traffic in order to
rush food supplies to the clamoring East.
Congress has heard the cry for bread it is said there is plenty and a
move will be made at once for Federal control of the supply.
Disposition is not to wait on the investigation urged by President Wilson,
although that will be pushed.
The East is counseled to wait a few days, for vast supplies are being rushed
East and relief is said to be in sight. x
Federal agents are on guard to see that the new supply docs not fall into
the hands of speculators.
Five hundred cars of foodstuffs nrc expected to reach New York today.
Mayor Mitchel has ordered a strict probe of food prices on the East Side. A
demand to halt the exportation of many tons of onions and potatoes lying on
New York piers and to divert them for domestic use has been raised. Leaders
in the movement to force n reduction in food prices are planning to lead n
demonstration of 10,000 women to Mayor Mitchel's office on Saturday. Tea
nnd coffee have joined the rank of rising commodities, and dealers, following the
example of consumers, have begun a boycott ngainst wholesalers.
Heavy snow and cold have added materially to the suffering of the poor and
for the third day, housewives engaged in riots in tho metropolis.
Prices in Chicago are higher than nt any time since'the Civil War. Move
ments of grain to nnd from Chicago arc seriously blocked. Housewives have
begun a general boycott against the purchase of high-priced foods.
Colorado farmers are hoarding 900 carloads of potatoes, waiting for a
further advance over the present five cents a pound rate.
Car shortage and the coal famine arc holding up transportation, rendering
tha food crisis the more acute.
In Maine there are 5,000,000 bushels of potatoes which cannot be moved
Western cities are threatened with a tie-up in nil power plants and motor
service because of no coal.
U. S. CONTROL OF FOOD MAY
BE NEXT STEP OF OFFICIALS
WASHINGTON". Feb 22 As a result of
urgent telegram from the Interstate Com
merce Commission, railroad presidents of
the eastern half of The I'nlted States today
are bending their efforts tovvnrd clearing
the congestion of freight rnrs at eastern
terminals nnd the dispatching empty cars
westward. With the scarcely elled threat
that continued strained food supply arrange
ments will precipitate bread riots In seeral
great eastern cities hanging oer them, the
railroad executlc and the official of the
Interstate Commerce Commission are cast
ing aside the red tape of law and railroad
regulations which In ordinary times govern
car moements.
Itules nnd practices of long standing have
been thrown to the winds nnd the business
of supplying the great cities with food and
fuel has superseded all other activities
The Inlerstste Commerce Coiiimlmlmi lilts

track pmmengrr trains In order that long
trulnloaiU or rnrs loadril with fooiltuir
may mote eastward without Interruption.
Train schedules are admittedly laid nside.
livery step which can be taken without
danger of accident has been taken to rush
the foodstuffs along.

The word of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to tho American people Is to

lean efforts now being made do not result

The Penn cottage, n historic old colonial
mansion at .Wynnewood, where William
Penn nnd his wife once made their home,
was swept by flames shortly after 1 o'clock
this morning. The rear portion of the man
sion was destroyed and an old barn In the
rear of the place was burned to the ground."
The blaze could be seen for miles around,
and attracted hundreds of persons In Cyn
wyd, Arlmore, Narberth and other points,
who drove to the scene in motorcars.
The fire was discovered by a motorist,
who was driving along Montgomery pike
He notified the lower Merlon police. The
"millionaire" volunteer fire companies, of
Ardmore, fjnvvyd, Ilryn Mavvr nnd Over
broolc rushed to the scene. Flames were
shooting out from the structure, whlcli Is
nn unoccupied three-story stone building.
The Btrong winds swept the flames until
they communicated to the barn. Several
nearby residences were endangered.
The firemen had to connect about two
thousand feet of hose in order to reach
a fireplug. Several of the amateur fire
fighters were partly overcome by smoke.
Hundreds of motorists, who came to watch
the blaie, crowded the roads and made
them impassable and hampered the firemen.
The Penn cottage Is owned by1 llobert

Is estimated at 16000. Captain Donaghy,
