- MRS. JOHN SINNOTT
Mrs. Sinnott and her two small
sons left last week for California,
where they will spend the summer.
ace Lorlmor, who Is chaliman of the Ar
menian Committee. I often wonder how
alio can accomplish so much She Is nc
tlcly Interested In the Independence
Square branch of the Southeastern Chap
iter of the Red Cross, and in fact Is there at
tho workrooms twice ti week, sho Is Ico
chairman of the Huntingdon Valley and
Ogontz branch of the Red Cross; sho was
ono of the prime movers and workers at
the recent pazaar nnd fair for tho Ablng
ton Hospital, and was nt tho banquet
given recently by tho Men's Armenian
Committee, or, to be more exact, given
at the City Club by Bishop Rhlnelandor,
whoJs head of the Men's Committee At
that luncheon Mrs Lorlmer told some
thing of the work her committee has done,
and It was certnlnly splendid
Now the Armenian Committee has sent
out a folder lulling of what they nro try
ing to do for the poor persecuted Ar
menians and explaining how ten cents
a day will sae a little Armenian child
from starvation.
Mrs. Lorlmor ln her appeal sajs: "The
martyrdom of Christians is as much a
fact In this jear of the German Kiilser as
It was ln tho days of the Roman Caesars.
A Prussian Pontius Pilate washes his
hands of tho blood of a Just people, but
the stain will not out, for Germany was
the controlling power ln Turkey when tho
Armenians were put to the sword.
Is Christianity a ltal forco or a Sunday
habit to Amct leans? Is tho Brotherhood
of Man cant or creed? Is world democ
racy a battle cry or a catch phrase' If
wo live Christianity, wo practice Broth
erhood, If wo beliee ln Democracy, we
will sacrifice all to keep tho faith. We
will sao from starvation tho remnant
of Armenians that tho sword has spared.
Christian Armenia calls to Christian
America."
It's a strong appeal, but what a truo
one! These good, quiet, home loving peo
ple have been torn from their homes,
most of them put to death or wone, and
thoso who liao been spared are left to
wander ln a desolate countrj.
The foldor says: "All relief money Is
sent by cable, to avoid loss at sea, dlfect
to the American Consuls, to supply ns far
ns possible food, clothing, seed for future
crops, cattle, Implements and material
with which to work." Industrial enter
prises are being established whero possi
ble among theso destitute people, and the
Armenians and Syrians aro anxious for
work. A letter recently received from an
Armenian who was a survivor of Erlvan
says: "We decided that a kind of Indus
try that would give the most handwork
with the least capital Involved would be
tho making of socks from wool We buy
crude wool, this Is taken to tho rher to
bo washed. The washing Is done by men
who stand barefooted In the water all
day and pound the wet wool with clubs
made for the purpose. It Is hard, dis
agreeable work, for which sixty cents a
day is paid, and wo have n hundred ap
plicants for every position open. Then
the wool Is dried In tho open air, .which
takes one or two days ln good weather."
Ho continues, telling how the wool Is
taken to tho carding factory, where the
women woik at It, and after much prep
aration it Is finally handed over to the
spinners. There are nearly 1000 women
who spln tho wool and then knit It Into
socks. They make about sixty-five cents
a week.
In this Armenian Committee every dot
lar goes -for the relief, the expenses of
collection and disbursement being met
privately, so you may know what good
the women of this committee are doing.
With Mrs. Lorlmer Is Mrs. Bob Downs,
who is treasurer, and fa host of others
whoso names are not on the folder. The
name of Mrs. Fred Perry Power Is' given
as that member who has coin pins for
sale for the benefit of the committee, and
whtch may be obtained nt Mrs. Power'B
home, 223 Harvey street, Germantown, or
at the Emergency Aid headquarters at
1428 Walnut street.
They are certainly doing a .wonderful
work. One would think they would be
utterly exhausted with it all; but gracious!
they aren't, and can attend to home and
famllte Just as if thty had no othefl

bo nursed back Into good health again
during nine long riajs And long these

forced Imctlvitj was amthema In any con
ditions; a gnawing doubt that he was not
Jurtlfled In remaining ln Vervlers at all did
not Improve matters Monsieur Garnler,
tho cure, was a frequent though unob
truslvo visitor He doctored the Invalid,
and brought scraps of accurate Information
which filtered through tho far-flung screen
of l'hlans nnd the dense lines of German
Infantry and guns Thus the fugitives
knew when and whero the British expedi
tionary force actually l nded on the Con
tinent The heard of the gradual sapping
of the defenses of Liege, until Tort Loncln
fell, nnd with It, as events were to prove,
the shield which had protected Belgium for
nonrly a fortnight The respite did not
avnll King Albert and his heroic people
In so far as the occupation and ravaging
of their beautiful country was concerned
But calm-eved historians in vears to
come will oppralso nt its true value the
breathing space, slight though it was, thus
secured for Franco nnd England
Dalrov found It extraordinarily difficult
to sift the true from the false ln tho crop
of conflicting rumors In the first Instance.
German legends had to bo discounted
From tho ouhet of the campaign the
Kaiser's armies were steadily regaled with
accounts of phenomenal successes else
where Thus, when four army corps, com
manded now by Von Kluck, were nearly
demoralized by tho steadfist valor of Gen
eral Lemnn nnd his stalwarts, tho men
wero rallied b being told that the Crown
Prince wns smashing his way to Paris
through Nancy and Verdun Prodigies were
being performed In Poland and tho North
Sea and London was burnt by Zeppelins
almost dall) Nor did Belgian Imagination
lag far behind in this contest of unveraclty
British and French troops were mirchlng
to the Mouso b a dozen roads ; tho French
raid Into Alsace was magnified Into a great
military feat; the British fleet had squelched
tho German mvy by sinking nineteen
battleships; tho Kaiser, haggard and blear
ejed, was alternately degrading and shoot
ing generals and Issuing flambojant procla
mations Finally, Russia was flattening
out East Prusla and Gallcla with the slow
crunching of a steamroller
Out of this maelstrom of "news" a level
headed soldier might, and did extract certain
hard facts The landing of Sir John
French's force took place exactl at the
time and placo and in the numbers Dalroy
himself had tstlro ited To throw a small
army Into Flanders would have been folly
Obviously, tho British must Join hands
with the French before offering bittle For
tho rest though ho went out very little, nnd
alone, as being less rlsk he recognized
tho hour when tho German machine re
covered its momentum after tho first un
expected collapse Ho saw order replace
chaos He watched tho dragon crawling
ever onward and understood then that no
act of man could save Belgium Vervlers
was tho best possible sito for an observer
who knew how to use his ejes He assumed
that what was occurring there wns going
on with equal precision ln Luxemburg and
along the line of the Vosges Mountains
Gradually, too, ho reconciled his con
science to theso days of waiting Ho be
lieved now that, his services would be Im
mensely more useful to the British commander-in-chief
In the field If he could
cross the French frontier rnthir than reach
Londoh nnd the Wnr Office by way of the
Bolglan const This decision lightened his
heart He was beginning to fear that the
welfare of Irene Beresford was conflicting
with duty It was cheering to feel con
vinced that tho odds nnd ends of Informa
tion picked up in Vervlers might prove of
Inestimable value to the Allied cauie
For Instance, Liege was being laid low
by eleven-Inch howitzers, but ho had seen
seventeen-lnch howitzers, each In three
parts, each part drawn by fortj horses or

WAR-SCARRED CITY
TO HAVE NEW TALE
Philadelphia May Help
Chauny Survive An
other War
ADOPTION CALLED SURE
It Philadelphia ndopts Chauny which
seems more than likely the old men and
old woman of a future day In Chauny will
have a more beautiful story to tell the
little boys and little girls of Chauny than
the old women and men could tell the
children before this war came to lay the
tewn In ruins.
There were stories enough to tell, for
Chauny Is old, perhaps as old as any of the
towns and villages ln the Department ot
the Alsne, and. somo wer ugly and some
were beautiful; but the story of being
adopted after the merciless ravaging at the
hands of the Germans, of belflg fed and
clothed by a big American city that Will
be the most beautiful f all
Ambassador Jusserand Is expected to
name Chauny as the town that Philadelphia
may adopt If Philadelphia wills Then It
will be for Philadelphia to decide whether
It will feed and clotho Chauny and bind up
Its wounds, or whether It will say to tno
Trench Ambassador
No, M Jusserand, I would like to do
something for Chauny, but I really dont
see how I can I have my hands so full,
vou see It would be a fine thing for some
American city to do that I wish I could
Some other time perhaps It was n hor
rible thing for tho Germans to wreck the
town nnd lay It waste before they left It
w as an unspeakable outrage Truly, the
Germans are Huns They should be ostra
cized by the world My heart aches for
Chauny 1 am sorry I can't adopt It I
hope some ono does "
Phllaelphla Jprobably will not say that
Since the Evening Ledoeb last Saturday
told how the cltv may have the privilege of
adopting this peaceful, sweet and simple
hearted French tow n the priv ilege of adopt
tnu it nr leavinir it to die or find nnnther
savior a good many Phltadelphlans have
told the Evening Ledger there can be no
doubt of what Philadelphia will do They
seem to think Chauny Is as good as adopted
now Perhaps they are right Most of them
were old Phlladelphlans and seemed to know
whatthc were talking n I rout They seemed
to know their Philadelphia" (with Its own
wajs that some people smile at. Its ways
that aro often somewhat slow and wearylnc
to people from, sa Chicago, Its dirty streets
that are expected to be clean some day If
they are not now, nnd Its homes and homes
and homes with big hearts ln them no mat
ter how simple tho mav be) Just as New
Yorkers "know their New York" (with) its
Greenwich Village and Its Wall Btreet and
Its Hrondwnj cafes and Its Greenwich VII.
lage and its Wall street and Us Broadway
cafes and its Greenwich Village and Its
Wall street nnd Its Broadway cafes)
Well, those PhllndVlphlans said It was a
foregone conclusion that Philadelphia would
adopt Chauny nnd It was now time to go
nhtad and arrange the details So If what
they say Is true, It Is "up to Ambassador
Juscerand" after all and not "up to Phila
delphia ,
Before this war that has ruined so many
cities and towns and villages and desolated
so man homes the people of Chauny wore
.1 very happy people and they had been
happy for mnnj years for so many ears,
In fact, that the stories the old men and
women told did not oven hurt nny more
Some were stories of the Franco-Prussian
War, but most of them were of the Hun
dred Years' War, which had been handed
down from generation to generation from
tho fourteenth and fifteenth centuries It
was then that Chauny saw bitter days.
This Alsne department city of 10,000 or
11' 000 souls on the Olse, twenty mites or so
southwest of St Qucntln, was racked and
torn time after tlmo In that bloody century
nnd a few jears from 1337 to 1453, when
the French and Eng Ish seemed unable to
make any lasting necommodatlon of their
dlffeienceh lis men went off to the war
and then tho war caino to Chauny Some
times the men never came back and some
times thej came back crippled The houses
and churches and little stores were wrecked
and ruined And' after each horror the
people bravelj struggled to their feet and
built new houses and new churches and
new stores And when they had them
built the men would go to war again and
tho war would come to Chauny again
Chauny lived through it all Chauny
could not bo kllltd then and the Germans
could not kill it now, It seems Only that
Is not a ccrtnlntj The Germans havo not
killed It yet, though It Is weak and bioken
There Is a possibility that It will live some
way, even if unaided, It Is ccrtan to live
if the big. strong city that it needs comes
along and gives It strength and courage.
The stories the old men and women totd
wero of the wrecking nnd rebuilding of, the
town again and again. Those were the
stories told the children In the daytime
when the men were nway at work In the
glass plants and the sugar factories and
the chemical laboratories, for which the
town Is famous
There are no men away at work now and
the old men and women nre not telling the
old stories. They do not do that In times
like theae, when Chauny's houses nreTmly
wreckage and the people have to pile
boards Over their heads toraake some sort
of shelter
But if Chauny Is adopted and Its horres
rebuilt and Its little stores and churches
there will be old men and women again to
talk to the children about the Hundred
Years' War and the Franco-Prussian "War
and the World War and the city that took
Chauny and adopted It and healed It and
mad it whole and kept the life In It soul
after the Qerman Invader p4 been beaks
back. '
