L jjxperts Here See Danger in
Rejection 01 Wilson's
Plan
m
QUICK ACTION URGED
Delay In adopting the plan of army
election would be the greatest aid Ger
napyi could receive tCl this serious crisis.
This Is the opinion not only of prominent
military experts here, whose views are
tuued on practical experience, but aluo of
hundreds of Ph'.iadelphlans.
Following tl.'a pace set by Philadelphia
In arousing tho, people to fight for the plan
recommended by President Wilson, reM
ent of every large city who desire to see
America victorious In tho present struggle
have besieged their Representatives at
Washington 10 auupi mo uniy pinn which
will enable the country to protect itself.
The bill providing for the selective plan
b virtually assured of passage In the Sen-
ate, but In the House It is expected that a
bitter contest will bo waged,
It Is pointed out by the most progressive
men of the city that adoption of the Presl
v dent's plan will not only assure America
tn adequate fighting force, but also pre
vent schemes for personal gain at the ex
pense of the real patriots.
Realizing that quick action la necessary,
members of the House who faor tho bill
litve gone out on the firing line to acquaint
the people with the real object of the se
lective plan.
Congressman William J, Browning, In
an address before the congregation of the
First Baptist Church, Camden, last night,
laid:
"X bellee we should hae selection, not
enly for the army and navy, but also for
all business activities in this emergency.
It Is not right for the coward and slacker
to stand back of the patriot and say go
while he remains home and reaps the bene
fit. The slacker should be made to do his
ahare."
Dr. Edward Martin, professor of surgery
at the University of Pennsylvania and di
rector of the University subbase hospital,
mid If the selective plan is defeated in
Congress it may mean a victory for Ger
many, as It would prevent this country
from putting an ndequate army in tho field
for two years. Incidentally $35,000 has
been raised for tho base hospital, and It is
believed that about $16,000 more wilt be
provided by the Masque of the American
Drama, which will be produced at th
Botanical Garden next month.
Indorsements of army selection continued
to pour Into tho office of tho Kvenino
LBDOEn, which started a poll to test the
sentiment of the peoplo several dava nm
In some Instances petitions urging adop
tion of the Prcsident'3 plan are signed by
the entire force of employes of thj big
ercarttlle and Industrial establishments.
Among scores of others received today
was one from the representatives of the
Aetna Life Insurance Company and affll
Uted companies at tho Philadelphia branch
407 Walnut street. It bore thirty-eight sig
natures, headed by that of John S. Irwin,
manager.
Tho Rev. Dr. Joseph D. Wilson, profes
lor of ecclesiastical history at the Theo
logical Seminary of the RefornW Episcopal
Church, today added his Indorsement to
that of hundreds of clergymen in this city,

Steamship Line Appeals From Verdict
Favoring Fruit Compaq
Argument rbegan 'today on the appeal
the Blueflelds Steamship Company, of
Jew Orleans, from the verdict of a. Federal
eourt Jury in this city In favor of the United
Fruit Company, an alleged trust.
A Jury before Judge Thompson In Jan
uary, 1916, dee'ded against the steamship
ompany In Its $16,000,000 suit against the
fruit company. The trial developed sensa
tional stories of radical measures the fruit
company was alleged to have taken to drive
the steamship company out of the banana
business. Alexander Simpson, Jr., repre
senting the steamship company, argued to
ay that Judge Thompson had erred In ex.
eluding fronr the testimony evidence which,
said, showed conclusively that the fruit
company intended' to wreck the steamship
company.

City and State Must
Prevent Food Crisis
Continued from I'nco (tne
plan on a State-wide scale the problem of
getting more food
THR.ni: FOOD PHRILS
Three perils confront the State and tho
nation In the food crisis, they Bald. These
peril"! arc.
Klrt. Seed l Inekln.
Srroml. There li not ennuch farm
labor.
Third. Tlre I s fertilizer nhnrtage.
Mr. Scwall Is chairman and the other
Industrial leaders are members of the ad
visory committee of tne executive committee
of the Pennsyhanta Committee of Public
Safety.
John C Frazec, chairman; William O.
Kaston, John K Flood, Harry J. Gideon,
Henry V. Gummoro, Charles C. Heyl. Jos
eph M Jamison, William D. Lewis and Ar
thur J Rowland compose tho committee
named by the Mayor to map out plans for
the mohllizatton committee. Tho Mayor'H
npproval of tho report. In cory detail, gives
It official Indorsement, nnd fulfillment of
tho purposes will begin as soon as Mr.
Kdmonds's associates are named.
"t am gling careful consideration to
the names of the men and women who will
serc on tho committee," the Mayor said.
K'ght subdepartments are to be organ
ized almost Immediately. Mayor Smith de
clared that swift action Is Imperative The
departments will be classified thus: Patri
otic and economic instruction, community
service, science and sflentlflc research,
census and adult enl'stment. Junior enlist
ment and placement, agriculture service,
manufacturing service In schools, secre
tarial and clerical service.
PLANKS IN PLATFORM
The platform of the schools, as enunciated
in tho plan for mobilization, declares that
"the schools of America, both public and
private, should Immediately recognize their
opportunities for bervjee In the present na
tional crisis. Tho purpose of their special
activities should be: First, to develop the
best possible realization of the meaning and
responsibilities of a democratic Government
and social order; second, to preserve the
mental, moral nnd physlclal Integrity of tho
children and youth of the nation by organ
izing their activities so that tho yong peo
ple may be prevented from entering Into
unfortunate connections and protected from
possible commercial exploitation, nnd, third,
to render all possible direct assistance In
every kind of public nnd private work that
may contribute to the national well being"
Stressing the responsibility of schools,
tho report continues:
"The sad experience of the European na
tions during the first two years of the war
clearly demonstrated that the schools of
America cannot too quickly begin to pre
pare themselves to meet tho added responsi
bility which Is being thrust upon them by
our entrance Into the world-conflict."
LUARN BY BELGIAN CHILDREN
U. OF P. STUDENTS TO SEND
SHOES TO FRENCH POOR
3000 Pairs Will Be Gathered on "Old
Clothes Day" and Shipped
to Civilians
More than 3000 pairs of shoes will be
sent to France for tho use of tho civilian
population of that country next Wednesday
by students of tho University of Pennsyl
vania. Next Wednesday will bo known ns "Old
ClotheB Day" nt tha University. The Btudents
will gather together nil of their cast-off
clothing. Including suits, shirts, underuear,
shoes, stockings, collars and ties The
clothing will be sent to the Um.rslty Set
tlement House, known as tho "Devil's
Pocket," nt Twenty-sixth and L-nbard
streets, but at tho renuest of Malor Wh nm
Work by scnooi cnuarcn mrougnoui myi Kelly, commander of tho University Res'-
Rummcr Is to bo organized by the moblllza.
tlon committee. While the children are at
work they are to be taught along patriotic
and economic tines.
"In this way valuable lessons will be
carried into tho homes," it Is assertca.
The department of community service will
work along lines suggested by the expe
rience of Belgium and the Inhabitants o
Alsace-Lorraine. Suffering, death and moral
delinquency of children Is to be forestalled
by study of the care and feeding of young
children, by the big sister and big brother
system, by use of school plants and play
grounds and by care of physical and mental
defectives.
"Junior enlistment and placement" Is 10
include "placement and watch-care of junior
workers of legal working age In regular
employment," and enlistment of Junior
grades, platoons and companies under
formal military organization, to be super
vised by enlisted teachers, for service In
agriculture, In manufacturing, In the schools
and In secretarial and clerical work.
CITV BOY PROBLEM
The problem of putting city boys Into
the country as farm wevkers Is to be met
carefully. "The fact that city boys are
not accustomed to the solitude of country
life," the plan says, "is a factor which
experience has shown must be considered
In any large organization of city boys into
agricultural helpers. A wise solution of
the difficulty jlrobably will be found to
be' the organization of small camps, under
the supervision of properly qualified teach
ers, from which the bos would go in work
on adjoining farms or on plots, wholly
cultivated ty the bovs. under the direction
of agricultural experts recruited from agri
cultural schools."
Expected shortage nf cans and other to
ceptacles In which to preserve food prob
ably will make It nceeary for much food
to bo preserved by drjlng. Girls' squads
to do this w'ork will be organized.
JIOST SERIOUS PROBLEM
It was admitted nt tho Publ'c Safety of
fices this afternoon that the problem of food
Is the most feared problem that the State's
preparedness committee has to deal with
Quick And effective action Is believed by tho
committeemen to be absolutely necessary.
Other branches of the work must vvnlt until
this one is attended to Hence, the gather
ing of the advisory committee
Plans to mobilize seed sunnlles will h
made,
"It Is by no means assured that even If
additional land Is opened for cultivation
this vear there will be enough seed to
plant." said Daniel T, Plerctf, of tho Bar
ber Asphalt Paving Company nnd r leader
(p tho public, safety committee organiza
tion, "Wo shall have to see that all the
seed there Is shall be taken care of and
not wasted; that alt land In which Feed Is
planted shnll be cultivated Seed may
have to be apportioned to prevent waste.
"Aa for farm labor," he continued,
"there has not been enough even under
normal conditions. With more land opened
for crop-raising tho need of labor Is even
moro pressing.
"If school children are to be used on
farms they must bo taken out of school
now. Crops cannot wait for school vaca
tions "
Mobilization of school pupils. Boy Scouts
and some Inmates of Stato Institutions, such
ns older lestdents of orphan nsv turns, is
contemplated Colonel Pusey, of Delaware
County, had his potnto crop planted by girls
from the Slclghton Farm Reformatory.
This example mny be followed further.
Fears that the fertilizer supply will
fall nro based on lack of potash Importa
tion from Germany, use of potash and
nitrates for ammunition making nnd the
fact that southern States are seizing fcr
tillztr manufactured In them before it can
be shipped north.
Two nutomoblles crashed . together at
Tvventy-thlrd and Walnut streets early
today, Injuring one man seriously.
The man Injured was Harry Gcrst, of 721
North Thirty-seventh street. Ho was thrown
to tho street, when one of the cars was flung
upon the sidewalk nnd Into a fireplug. He
was taken to the Jefferson Hospital.
Gerst was placed under nircst for alleged
recklcs driving. The other car vvns driven
by Earl S. Titter, of 628 North Fifth street,
Wilmington. Those with Titter were Frank
Show. 801 Orange street; Clayton J.
Swartz, of Seventh nnd Klrkwood streets,
and Frank Nealon, all of Wilmington.
The passengers In Gerst's car were
Charles Mauley. 2310 Sansom street;
George Hall, of Devon, nnd 11. Nicholson,
of 416 uuttonwood street.

So many beautiful things for
so many beautiful homes here
It is interesting indeed to hear the
expressions of surprise and delight
from those who visit our Store for the
first time. They have heard of
"Van Sciver's," of course; everybody
has, for the name is nationally known;
but even the most glowing descrip
tion of friends or acquaintances have
fallen short of the picturesque reality.
We try to tell you something about
this great factory-Store in our adver
tisements; to convey some idea of its
magnitude, the vastness and variety
of its stocks and the opportunities it
affords for economical buying, but the
pen is really unequal to the task.
Therefore, we subordinate descrip
tion to invitation and ask you to come
and see for yourself. You will be
just as welcome and as well received
whether you come as a sightseer or as
a purchaser, and in either case, you
will find your visit intensely interest
ing, informative and profitable.
