Red Cross Paper-Saving
Campaign a Big Success
THE second collection of paper
this afternoon for the benefit of
tho Red Cross proved tho success
of tho campaign, which has been
fostered by the Evening Lniom.
More than four tons of paper wns
collected before noon.
Tho entire city was covered, ex
cept those sections which lay nt the
end of routes which proved too lnrRo
for tho volunteer collectors to cover
complete.
The fact that the routes were too
large for the volunteer collectors to
day proves the Rrcat need for vol
unteer collectors.
A hundred pleasure cars and a
preat many trucks are needed to
Insure that nil of the paper Is col
lected each week.
Will you loan your car or your
truck ?
Note what Edwin A. Smith & Co.,
dealers in building material in
Frankford, are doing for this cause.
If your firm has trucks, urge their
donation for this worthy work.
The Red Cross paper-saving campaign
passed the "acid test" today, t'p to noon
more than four tons of paper watt co'lccted
by the volunteer motortrucks and pleasure
can. This was more than was collected
last Saturday, tho opening day of tho cam
paign, and Is Rood proof that the collec
tions can tic Increased week hy week.
Kvery section of tho city aa covered to
day, with thn exception of the ends of snmu
of the longer routed, which the drhers were
unable to cover complete.
The public presented the paper. In tho
driver" In much better condition today than
last Saturday. In iiioki rases It had been
well tied In packages, us suggested In the
Kveni.no I.Kiuinn the past several days.
Tho public, however, can still do iiiueh
to assist the volunteer drivers u ting this
line, for the few places where the paper has
not been tied at all greatly i hecks tho
progress of the drivers. Not only I looso
paper much hnrder to handle nt the homes
or places of business of thn donors, It Is
harder to unload at the paper houses and
takes more thnn twice the time.
Several pleasuro cars could havo been
Used to advantage In today's, collection, and
It Is hoped that a number of volunteers
will come forward early next week to servo
In future collections. Approximately lull
automobiles are needed to assure that the
collections nro properly made each, week.
With a hutul.-i.-tl pleasure cars and tho
trucks which can be secured the collections
can be properly handled. Now that waste
paper Is assured In sulllclent iuniitltle, the
automobiles and trucks must cnino forward
and "do their bit." Wo urge owners to
volunteer In this wurk iih a number of
others havo been doing.
It Is work of this character, .little by
little, but combined as a whole, that sends
to the front big-, ctllclunt unltn of Itcd Cross
nurses, physicians and drivers and stretcher
bearers. You can help raise money for
this work by helping this campaign which
has been fostered by tho Hvbninii Ledoeii
and Is being: pushed an energetically as
possible by the Kvenino Lkdcikh and tho
Red Cross, lloth organization need your
.Id.
The effect of neighborhood organizations
of paper collectors was upparent In to
day's collection. There were many In
stances whew bpys and girls and women
had organized the territory for several
blocks about their homes Into regular units
of paper savers. In these cases the trucks
found anywhere from half n load to an
entire load at a single house. This Is the
kind of work that counts. Any boy or
girl or any woman can perform this work.
If you want to help this campaign by or
ganizing a neighborhood, communlcato with
the Red Cross Department of tho F.vkninii
Ledger for Information.
The following trucks made tho collection:
Commercial Truck Company, one com
mercial truck.
Little Olant Truck Company, ono Little
Giant truck.
Ptckard Motor Car Company, one Pack
ard truck.
Ward Motor Company, one Ward truck.
Smith Form A Truck Company, ono

Federal Sales Company, one Federal

Vim Truck Company, one Vim truck.
Rands Auto. Company, one Selden service
truck.
W. A. Taylor, of 1268 Walnut street, who
used his car last Saturday In Southwest
Philadelphia, Is collecting In the same sec
tion again today.
The Hoy Scouts performed their usual
Important part In helping the drivers. They
also assisted In spreading news of thn col
lection through bugling. There were
three Boy Scouts with each motortruck and
one with each automobile.
Thomas V. Morris, general manager of
Edwin A. Smith & Son, denlers In building
material at 1017 Frankford avenue, sent
one of the firm's four-ton trucks to West
Philadelphia yesterday afternoon to bring
tn a big load of paper which had been coN
lected by four neighborhood organizations.
Mr. Morris and Harold Smith, owner of the
plant, havo donated two trucks for the col
lection to be held next Saturday. The pa
triotic example of this firm, which Is one of
the oldest In the city, dating from 1822, is
one which wn urge other firms to emulate In
. connection with this campaign.
' Among the several lots of paper collected
by the truck was one of more than 900
pounds which had been gathered by Donald
Lauck, E222 Cedar avenue, one of the many
boys who are 'contributing to making the
. campaign a success by organizing their
neighborhoods and personally collecting
paper and storing It for the Hed Cross.

WANTED BY MOORE
Philadelphia Congressman's
Amendment to Be Fought
by South
MAY MODIFY PRESS LEVY
llu Ktaf! VorrflHfdrnt
WASHINIITON. Mny 1!.
Representative .1. Hampton Mnoir. f
Philadelphia, today Introduced an amend
ment to the war revenue measure tn plnee
n tax of J2.Cn n bale on cotton He said
this tax would raise 30.0wi.fliM annually.
It Is expected that the southern members
will make n vigorous light against the
amendment. When Representative Lonroot.
of Wisconsin, moved to strike nut the tax
of 0 per cent on electric power and bent.
Mr. Mooro presented his nmcndinent to
make up the dellclt that would be erected.
The chair held the amendment was not In
order In that part of tho bill It will be
taken tip later.
Tho Hiimsu today showed a disposition to
support the bill as crlglnaly brought In by
the committee. Convinced that It would
bo Impossible as well as Impracticable tn
raise all of the llrst year's war tax In one
bill, House lenders set about tho task of
enacting tho enmmltteo bill with nil pos
sible dispatch McAdoo's demand for ad
ditional filmic will be met In subsequent
legislation.
House leaders realize that the Senate
already Is determined to amend many of
the most Important sections of the House
bill In such drastic fashion as to constitute
a it-drafting n this account they believe
they would weaken their position If they
made any last-mlnuto changes In tho pro
visions of the bill as It leaves thu House.
MAY MANOB POSTAL TAX
House members, however, have been re
sponsive to general appeals tn strike from
the bill the suction which Imposes tho zone
system of postal charges on newspapers
and magazines. When the Ways and Means
Committee met today to consider tho eiucs
tlon committee sentiment was almost unani
mous for the substitution for tho zone sys
tem of charges on second class matter, a
provision suggested by chairman Moon, of
the House Postolllce Committee. The Moon
amendment would assess most of the second
class charges against advertising carried by
newspapers and magazines.
ni;w PROVISIONS
Ily this provision there would be levied
"upon all newspapers, magazines and other
publications regularly admitted as matter
of tho second class, when mailed by tho pub
lisher and no other, ono cent a pound. Pro
vided, that parcel post rates shall be
charged upon nil that portion of such news.
papers, magazines or otner publications
which Is devoted to paid advertising matter
when addressed to any postolllco In the
third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth
zones "
This amendment as a working proposi
tion would be far less burdensome to news
papers than to magazines. Many of Its
advocates believe that It would produce
more revenue than the provision carried In
the bill as It came out of the Ways nnd
Means Committee.

Conference With Lodge,
Knox and Gallinger Shows
New Attitude
i
TO CONSULT CONGRESS
llu n Btnff t'ttnt imntleut
WASHIN'OTON. Mny 1,
With tho creatent war budget In thu his
tory of tho world before Congress, and with
new and untried problems lo bo settkd. tho
Prcbldent, after the rebellious outbreak In
tho Senate, hns suddenly changed his pol
icy. This shift In attitude was rellccted
last night when be summoned three of the
loading llepublleans of tho Senate to tho
Whit House Lodge. Knox and Oallinger.
President Wilson, In the conference, In
formed tho TtepuhlU-nns of his plan for
food control, and tried to explain why wmo
actions tif his Administration bad been con
ducted ho HPt-iotly. One of tile Senators
who conferred there said that II was u very
coulldential talk and the President ".i
peared In a most human way "
As the result of the retuia of the Presi
dent In tho tradltlonnl meti js, that Is of
considering Congress nn equal braneh of
Government and consulting with lt mem
bers, It Is expected that legislation will pro
coed with great easo In tho futuie.
President Wilson was told of tho nppoht
tlmi to tho arbitrary action of his advisory
board and It wns explained to him how big
business bad been held up and threatened.
Ho was told that business was becoming
alarmed over not only the arbitrary as
sertions of the advisory board, but also over
the disregard of Congress to stabnllzatlon
of husim-HM conditions In thexo times.
In conversation It was brought out that
thero would be a steady flow of men to
Europe, not only from the United Stato3
but Canada.
These Senators congratulated the Presi
dent upon the enactment of the selective
draft bill, which they said was the blgges'
piece of legislation over passed In a coun
try wherein tho spirit Is not militaristic. In
less than live weeks tho American public
was educated to the system, which Is a
radical departure for this country. They
recalled that oven In England and Canada,
where thero was every reason for this law,
their Parliaments had been unnblo to en
act a conscription law.
In the opinion of these men the Inspira
tion coming from the United States will
force Canuda, whose Parliament again is
considering conscription, to pass such a
law spoedlly.
Tho United States has given an Inspira
tion to the Allied countries, said Senator
Knox, who looks for a. steady flow from
Canada and the United States to the Allied
trendies. I
The United States will not only send mi
army and marines, but engineers and rail-
roan constructors nnu scientific foresters.
Partlsanlsm will be absent from any con
siderations of war budgets and war emer
gency matters. The President, however, was
Informed very positively by hla Hepuhllcan
visitors luBt night that legislation had to
be well written and must conform to law
and acceptable ways of taxation.
This was the firet heart-to-heart talk
President Wilson haa had with the Re
publican leaders since Senator Lodge crltl
oiled the Administration In tho last presi
dential campaign.

IIUUNOS AIItKS, May 19.
Argentina suspects tho United States of
seeing things."
Thn view here Is that the United States
l- loo closo to tho war lo be very rational,
consequently, nil stories of German plot
Hugs In Latin-America nro tnken with about
a bnircl' of salt. They nro not exactly dish-Moved,
but they aro doubted.
Argentine- feel that they know Latin
merlra better than It Is known by tho
united Stales. Their theory Is that Latin
tinerlcuns who nro hostile to tho Wnshlng
i n Government's pan-American policies are
'i pt to be regarded In Washington ns pro
i iff-man. This Is declared to bo by no
i i"nns necessarily true.
President Irigoyen, of Argentina, for ex
nnple, Is known to consider tho United
states entirely too much disposed to tneddlo
in Latin-American nffalrs. Doctor Mollnarl,
i hief subsecrctnry In tho Argentine Foreign
i Kill e. wbo actually has been acting Foreign
.Minister since tho retirement of Carlos Uecu
from that position, though Minister of Agri
culture Pueyrredon has held the position
nominally. Is outspoken In expressing a
similar opinion
These men may be classed as anti-North
iiierlcan, bocauso they bclle.vo tho pollcici
of tho United States to bo dangerous to
Latin-American freedom. They aro not pro
German, however. Their friends rballengo
any one to point to u pro-German utterance
or action by them If they believed that
Germany threatened Latin-American In
terests, as they believe the United States is
threatening them. It Is declared they would
be as autl-German as now they nro admit
tedly atftM'ulted States.
Undoubtedly Colombia's loss of Tanama
Is ono of tho most serious counts In tho
Indictment ngnlnst North Americans. Many
other little things that thn United States
has done havo also had their cumulative
erfed, however, though they may not havo
teemed to be much noticed at tho time.
As nn Illustration of this, soon after
President Wilson had made his famous
peace nddrets, La.Prensa, of liuenos Aires,
published nn editorial referring tn the
President as a "relative pacifist" "rela
tive" because ho was shocked by bloodshed
on a large scale in Uuropo but did not ob
ject to it at nil on a small scale In con
nection with the landing of United Suites
forces at Vera Cruz and In Han tlomlngo,
Haiti and Nicaragua.
This lew Is unfair, no doubt, but It
shown lm even so moderate a Lutln
Anierlcna lien (.paper ns La Prcnsa feels
about North American Interference in Latin-American
countries, regardless of Its
Justification
