The accident was the result of a broken
tell cord. As the boat ncarcd the blip
Captain F. S. Gravcnstlne, nt tho wheel,
reached for tho handle to signal "slow
down" In the englneroom. As he gave the
bell a pull the cord broke, tho engineer
did not get tho signal, and the boat hit the
harf at full speed.
Several hundred people were on tho boat
en their way to their places of employment
In Camden. Thoso standing were thrown
to the deck : many rushecT to the stern gate
and an automobile broke loose and rolled
back upon them. Most of those taken to
the Cooper Hospital were crushed against
the gate by the runaway motorcar.
As soon as the boat was made fast to
'the wharf railroad physicians cared for the
slightly bruised, and tho others were taken
to Hje hospital. It Is expected they will
all be discharged .today, as their Injuries
re less serious than 'at first supposed.

, POLBS AND FINN'S FRIENDLY
"Many nationalities subject to Ftussla, as.
for example, tho Poles and Finns, wcro
openly hostile under the old regime and
would have received the Germans with open
arms.
"The provisional government has now
concluded an agreement with the Finns
for adequate protection against a possible
German advance. Hence, Finland Is now
a strong spot, instead of weak one, as for
merly, In tho empire's line of defense.
"People abroad must not be misled by
peace talk prevalent among Russian Social
ists and labor leaders. Peace propaganda
tinder Czarlsm was ten times more preva
lent than now. This however, was not
only never permitted to reach the ears of
the outsldo world, but there were actual
attempts on the part of the bureaucratic
dove tunent to conclude separate peace.
"Today, with our new-won freedom of
speech, re have a healthy discussion which
dissolves Itself harmlessly Into oratory In
stead of breeding sinister Intrigue.
INDEMNITIES AND EXACTIONS
"So far as the unaggressive war policies
of Russian Socialists are concerned, I may
ay that we make a clear distinction be
tween necessary indemnities, as In the cases
of Belgium and Poland, and Irritating penal
exactions."
"Do you believe that a social revolution
Is possible In Germany during the war?"
I asked.
"No," said Kejensky, "I am not Marxian
In ihS1' beliefs, and hence do not agree with
the views of the majority- that the German
Socialists arc likely to precipitate a revolu
tion.
"For the first time 1 am able to speak
unreservedly to America.
"The United States democracy Is better
Understood by the Russian masses than are
England vand France.
"The Russian masses and the American
people are today exhibiting one of the most
profound democratic sympathies of history.
"Speaking for the Russian Socialists,
aolulcrs and workmen who caused the revo
lution, and whose minister I now am, I can
only draw attention to my speech In the
Duma at the. outbreak of the war, when I
said that we' would enter a defensive war,
but perfunctorily, because of our distrust
of the Government. With Russian terri
tory Invaded our war Is -81111 defensive, but
now .we wago a war that will be fought
firmly to the eiiu, with a vision or free
Russia leading us on, which even In Its
Incipient stages ranks among the first
democracies of the world."
RUSSIAN CHIEFS PLEAD
FOR MORE MUNITIONS
PETROGRAD, April 2.1.
Demand for more guns and ammunition
are being made upon the republican govern
went by the army. These are needed, It is
declared, to meet the concentrations of the
Germans on the Russian front. Free Rus
a has reached the critical period of her
tormy history. Inspiring addresses are
oelng made to the workmen and soldiers
almost dally to lead them to fresh efforts.
Prince Lvoff, the Premier, and Deputy
Guchkoff. the Minister of War, have Is
sued a proclamation to the workmen In mu
nition factories saying that the fate of
Russia Is in their hands. An urgent ap
Peal Is made for the maximum production
' war materials. Unless the workers do
their share. It was said, Russia would drift
Back Into "our former slavery."
The- council of workmen's and soldiers'
"legates has been reorganized, owing to
'he unwleldlness of Its membership, which
numbers 3000. A .new political party,
Known as tho party of national freedom,
nas been formed.

BAHLE AT CITY HALL
Soldier, Believed Deranged,
Fights Six Cops When
Taken to Cell
Ttoland Mouton, a French artilleryman,
veteran of Verdun, Imagined that six Phila
delphia policemen were Oerman soldiers at
tacking Verdun and almost fought them to
a standstill In a rough-and-tumble fight
In a cell at City Hall today. They over
powered him and ho was sent to the Phlla'
delphla Hospital, temporarily Insane.
Mouton became confused In Broad Street
Station last night while en route from
Chicago to France to rejoin his regiment.
A policeman took him to City Hall, whorn
he was questioned today by Police Sur
geon Wanamaker. The mar. had consular
papers showing that he had been wounded
at Verdun, had been furloughed and had
visited friends In Kansas.
To refresh the soldier's blank memory
Doctor Wanamaker mentioned Verdun,
whereupon Mouton excitedly began describ
ing the battle. Suddenly he became so
violent that Doctor Wanamaker called for
help, it required tho united strength of
six big policemen to subdue the French
man. "Now 1 know why the Germans didn't
capture Verdun," said one of the blue
coats, mopping his brow after the struggle
Mouton, who Is forty-six years old. Is
tinder observation at tho hospital, where It
Is believed that the Incessant guntlre of the
terrific battle has Impaired his mind.

2900 PERRY SPRING SUITsI
at the . .
One Uniform Pricek
$16
Not one of which has ever been for sale
on our counters before this morning!
This is by long odds the most
remarkable event of its kind that
Perry's have ' ever put across,
because of the unprecedented
conditions in the woolen market!
$ The fabrics in these Intensified Value Suits are
of unqualified $20, $22.50 and $25 grades and qual
itiesin fact, to mark some of them $28, would be
putting their present valuation on them!
C Woolens are both dear and scarce. Many. or
ders placed with mills so long ago as last June are
unfilled and some will remain undelivered.
Woolen mills are refusing orders, and 'clothing
manufacturers are up against the problem of get
ting enough fabrics for 1918 at any price!
The demand far exceeds the supply!
f& In the face of- such extraordinary conditions to,
be able to offer you today several thousand Suits
of unquestioned $25, $22.50 and $20 woolens and
worsteds at the
One Uniform Price
$16
is almost without parallel!
I We set out to provide months ago for this event
with the purpose of offering our public the great
est values to be found anywhere today for the
money values so great the public cannot help
talking about them! -We bought with an opeVi
purse whenever an opportunity offered, and stored
away our purchases for the opportune moment.
That moment is now here, and here are the
clothes!
1 Fancy- worsteds, fancy cassimeres, plain blue
twill and herringbone serges, fancy cheviots, blue
and brown flannels, plain and fancy conservative
mixtures, pin stripes and stripes of other denomi
nations. Single-breasters, double-breasters; plain
backs, belted and pleated backs; patch pockets,
regular pockets; smart, slim styles for young fel
lows, and styles for conservative dressers.
All making their first bow today!
Every one of an unqualified $25, $2230
or $20 quality fabric, to be found selling
at those prices everywhere but on sale
here for this One Week of Intensified
Values at the
One Uniform Price.
