"My name Is Howlctt. I am from Lans
downe," ho said. "I want to protest against
mo united htatcs going to war.
"I am opposed to war, too," said Butler,
"but if somebody pull! my hair I'll pull
his. Wouldn't you?"
"Well," said Howlctt, "my resistance
would be mental rather than physical."
"Oh," said Butler, "then you'd glvo him
the Christian Science treatment."
"Something like that," admitted Howlett.
"Well, I am too old to try that," said
Butler.
"Won't you see." naked the Interviewer,
"that there Is a conscience clause which
will rellco from military duty any one
who Is conscientiously opposed to war?"
"Would you tilke advantago of such a
clause?" asked Butler In surprise, ns ho
studied tho tall young man.
"I think I would."
"There Is no use of talkhig more," said
ncprcscutatUo Butler.
A bill providing that all records of the
Civil Service Commission of Philadelphia
must be made public and open for Inspec
tion by any ono at all times and In other
ways radically changing tho regulations of
the commission was Introduced today In the
Legislature at Harrisburg by Representa
tive Frederick Beyer, of Philadelphia.
If the bill passes, tho commission would
be unable to change any rules governing
appointment to city Jobs without holding a
public hearing on the proposed change- and
later getting the approval of the Mayor for
the decision, All promotions In the service
of the city would be made subject to tho
Mayor's approval, tho new bill provides.
In addition the bill would take out of the
omoeholdera' hands their right to appeal
from decision of the commission to tho civil
courts. Instead, In cases of removal from
office, the appeal against removal would bo
made to the commission Itself. Tho bill
also provides that the commission must
make public every week a list of all new
appointments, transfers and demotions and
removals made during the previous week.
At present the commission operates under
the law of March S, 1906.

nolds divorce bill, which aimed to correct

New Jersey. Representative Beyer, of
Philadelphia, led tho fight against the Rey

LONGPORT SHORE WALL "
PLAN ATTACKED IN SUIT
T- '
W. Disston's Estate Files Protest
Against Expenditure for Erection
of Defenso Against Storms
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April 3. Op
position to tho expenditure by Longport, a
small" resort nj population and area go, of
moro than 1380,000 for tho erection of a
huge sea wall of re-enforced concrete to
protect its beach front, a target for de
structive attack by coast storms, loomed up
today when Louis D. Champion, an at
torney, died n protest on behalf of tho Wil
liam Dlsston estate, of Philadelphia, which
has large holdings on the Longport front.
Tho protest Is based upon tho heavy cost
of tho proposed scheme of beach defense,
tho Phlladelphlans maintaining that a sea
wall with Jetties ndoquato for Longport's
needs can be built for n sum approximating
B0 per cent of tho proposed expenditure. The
T-nnennrt nlan Is based upon n dofenshc
system adopted for tho raclflc coast at San
Francisco.
It provides for a series of gigantic steps
with a curving overhang, designed nrsi to
brenk up the battering force of tho waves
and then to throw them back upon Incoming
rollers. It Is estimated that two ears will
be required to complete the structure.
Tho contract was awarded on Saturday
last to Sutton & Corson, of Ocean City, for
$383,000, but under the law execution of
the award must be deferred for two weeks.
In the meantime tho project is open to nt
tnck by nny property owner. It Is asserted
that longport's last great storm, which de
molished the boardwalk and wrecked soveral
cottages, affected confidence In tho resort to
tho extent of at least $1,000,000.

the cry o
f
hungry children
A MILLION Belgian children have gone hun
gry for two years and a half. All that time
they have struggled for existence among un
told, unbelievable hardships. Today they are
weakened, half -starved and disheartened.
They must have more foodem extra biscuit
and a cup of cocoa a day apiece. And they
are pleading with America to provide it.
The pitiful appeal of these little unfortunates
has touched the hearts of rich and poor alike
inspiring both with a longing to help.
A big-hearted New York millionaire has just
given $300,000 to be used in providing extra
rations for Belgian children.
Touched by the same appeal, a Philadelphia
woman in more humble circumstances writes :
" although we cannot donate money to support
the poor little Belgian children, we would be glad
to take one in our family and raise it as we are
doing two sons and two daughters of our own. We
are American people, capable of taking care of
an unfortunate Belgian baby and are anxious
to do it."
There never was a worthier occasion for the
rich to give abundantly from their abundance
and for the humble to spare something of their
smaller portions. It justifies any sacrifice.
Give Something!
1 nhAnnelpi? will provide extra rations for
100,000 Belgian children in the province of
Antwerp for the next six months.
It costs a dollar a month for each child. Even
cent must be pledged this week. Contributions
may be paid monthly for six months. uuons
