OUSTED PACIFISTS
NOT AFRAID TO DIE
t
Mrs. G. S. Morris, Told to
Quit Witherspoon Build
ing, Gives Views
WOULD EVENc BE KILLED
Imprisonment and even death before a
firing squad have no terrors for the numbers
of the so-called "peace organizations"
which hae been ordcrod o get out of ltoom
320, Witherspoon ltuildlug, nnd thereby
cease making It n hotbed of opposition to
compulsory military sen Ice.
This Is the attitude of tho "peaceboost
cis," It was asserted today by Mrs. Gcoigo
Spencer Morris, of Olney. organizer of tho
"peace school," which conducted pacifist
classes In Koom 32S.
"Our members," said Mis. Morris, "will
not volunteer for set vice in the United
Stales army, and if our men are conscripted
they will refuse to light, even If Mich le
fusal means death In front of a firing sciuad.
The authorities may throw us In prison,
confiscate our property and lslt us with all
of the persecutions and tortures known to
mankind and still wo will battle on for
universal peace.
"I organized tho peace school, but ' I
want to state that tho name and purpose
of the Fchool was changed after war was
declared. The school Is now called 'The
School of Internationalism,' nnd It Is to be
tarried on with the purpose of educating
people to (.peak In favor of a federation of
nations.
"Of course, we have to consider war and
peace In the school, and we do not think
war Is right. Wo aro most loyal citizens,
with tho highest views of patriotism, and
we feel that the pacifists at this time must
give their entire cnorgj to spreading tho
President's Idea of a league of nations."
Tho Presbyterian hoard of Publication,
owners of the Witherspoon Uuildltig,
through Franklin I Shcppard, a member
ot the board, has ordeied I). 12. Dallam, the
agent of the building, to tone notice on
the tenants of ltoom 329 that their presence
(hero Is no longer deslied.
Four organizations asked to have their
names enrolled on the directory of the build
ing, These wero the League to Knforco
Peace, the Pennsylvania Arbltiatlon ana
Peace Society, the Women's Peace party
and the American Union Against Militarism.
J. Augustus Cadwallader, the executive
director of tho latter organization, mado
this request, but Instead tho agent of tho
building gave the rijm tho designation on
tho directory of "Peace Headquarters."

Son Comes Into Share at'Onec by Su
preme Court Decision
The Supremo Court in an opinion by
Justice a on Moschzlsker reversed the rul
ing of tho Orphans' Court In tho Wil
liam Dlsston will case and decided that
the son should come Into his share at once.
The Orphans' Court decided that the
son's share must remain lb trustjis long
ns tho widow lived, but tho Supremo Court,
In upholding tho son's contention, said:
"The trust created was not Intended to
continue until tho actual death of his
widow, but only so long as she might have
an Interest In the estate passing under his
will. When she elected to take.agalnst that
Instrument, the testator's full Intent could
not be carried out. nnd the trust came to
an end In tho same extent as though the
widow had physically died, hence the ap
