Sinnott and her two small sons left last week for California, where they will spend the summer. ace Lorimor, who is chalrmnn of the Ar menian Committee. I often wonder how sho can accomplish so much. Sho Is ac tively interested In the Independence Squnro branch of the Southeastern Chap iter of the Red Cross, and in fact Is there at tho workrooms twice a week; she Is vlco chairman of tho Huntingdon Valley nnd Ogontz brnnch of the Red Cross; she was ono of the prime movers and workers nt the recent bazaar nnd fair for the Abing ton Hospital, and was nt tho banquot given recently by tho Men's Armenian Committee, or, to be more exact, given at the City Club by Bishop Rhlnelander, whoJs head of the Men's Committee. At that luncheon Mrs. Lorlmer told some thing of tho work her committee has done, and it was certainly splendid. Now the Armonlan Committee has sent out a folder tilling of what they aro try ing to do for the poor persecuted Ar menians and explaining how ten cents a day will save a little Armenian child from starvation. Mrs. Lorlmer In her appeal says: "Tho martyrdom of Christians is as much a fact in this year of the German Kaiser as it was in tho days of the Roman Caesars. A Prussian Pontius Pilate washes his hands of the blood of a Just people, but the stain will not out, for Germany was the controlling power In Turkey when tho Armenians were put to the sword. Is Christianity a vital force or a Sunday habit to Americans? Is tho Brotherhood of Man cant or creed? Is world democ racy a battle cry or a catch phrase? If wb live Christianity, we practice Broth erhood, If wo believe in Democracy, wo will sacrifice all to keep the faith. We will save from starvation the remnant of Armenians that tho sword has spared. Christian Armenia calls to Christian America." It's a strong appeal, but what a true one! Theso good, quiet, home-loving peo ple have been torn from their homes, most of them put to death or worse, and thoso who have been spared are left to wander In a desolate country. Tho folder says: "All rellof money Is sent by cable, to avoid loss at sea, direct to tho American Consuls, to supply ns far as 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 Armonlans and Syrians are 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 bo tho making of socks from wool. We buy crude wool; this Is taken to the river to be 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, dls agrceablo work, for which sixty cents a day Is paid, and wo have a hundred ap plicants for every position open. Then the wool is dried in tho open nlr, .which takes one or two days in good weather." Ho continues, telling how the wool is taken to' tho carding factory, whero the women work at it, nnd after much prep aration it is finally handed over to the spinners. There are nearly 1000 women who spin-the wool and then knit it into socks. They make about sixty-five cents a week. In this Armenian Committee every dol lar goes -for the relief, the expenses of collection and disbursement being met privately, bo 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 whose names are not on the folder. The name of Mrs. Fred Porry Power Is' given as that member who has coin pins for sale for the benefit of the committee, and which may be obtained at Mrs. Power's home, 223 Harvey street, Germantown, or at the Emergency Aid headquarters at 1428 Walnut street.

Life ruhllnhlnt OF 1914 Tracy five persons might gather to watch tho military pageant; It was verboten. And ever tho dim shapes flitted by In the night horse, foot nnd artillery, nutomobllcs, am bulance and transport wagons. There seemed no end to this flux of grny-grcon gnomes. Tho nlr was tremulous with the unceasing hammer-strokes of heavy guns on the anvil of Llece. Staid old Europe might be dissolving oven then In a cloud of hlgh-exploslvc gas. Tho scheme of things was all awry. One Englishman gavo up the riddlo.

HerS was not tho finer quality of human clay which hardens In tho fire of ndvcrslty. She bo came ill, almost seriously 111. and had to bo nursed back Into good health again during nine long dajs. And long theso days wero, the longest Dalroy had ever known. To a man of his temperament, en forced inactivity was anathema In any con ditions; n gnnwlng doubt that he was not Justified In remaining In Vervlers at all did not Improve matters Monsieur Gamier, tho euro, was a frequent though unob truslvo visitor. He doctored the Invalid, and brought scraps of accurato Information which filtered through the far-flung screen of Uhlans and the dense lines of German Infantry and guns. Thus the fugitives knew when and where the British expedi tionary force actunlly landed on the Con tinent They heard of the gradual sapping of the defenses of Liege, until Fort Loncln fell, nnd, with It, as events were to prove, the shield which had protected Belgium for nearly n fortnight Tho respite did not avail King Albert and his heroic people In so far as the occupation nnd ravaging of their beautiful country was concerned But calm-eyed historians In years to come will appralso at Its true value the breathing space, slight though It was. thus secured for Franco nnd England. Dalroy found It extraordinarily difficult to sift tho ttue from tho false In the crop of conflicting rumors. In the first Instance, German legends had to be discounted From tho outset of tho campaign tho Kaiser's armies wore steadily regaled with accounts of phenomenal successes else where. Thus, when four army corps, com manded now by Von Kluck, wero nearly demoralized by the steadfast valor of Gen eral Leman and his stalwarts, tho men wero rallied by being told that tho 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 dally. Nor did Belgian Imagination lag far behind In this contest of unveraclty. British nnd French troops were marching to tho Mouse by a dozen roads ; tho French raid Into Alsace was magnified Into n great military feat; the British fleet had squelched tho German navy by sinking nineteen battleships ; the Kaiser, haggard and blear eyed, was alternately degrading and shoot ing generals nnd Issuing flamboyant procla mations Finally. Russia was flattening out East Prussia and Gallcla with the slow crunching of a steamroller. Out of this maelstrom of "news" a level headed soldier might, nnd did extract certain hard facts. The landing of Sir John French's force took place exactly at the time nnd place and In the numbers Dalroy himself had estimated To throw a small army Into Flanders would havo been folly. Obviously, the British must Join hands with the French before offering battle. For tho rest though he went out very little, nnd alone, as being less risky he recognized the hour when tho German machine re covered Its momentum after tho first un expected collapse He saw order replace chaos. He watched tho dragon crawling ever onward nnd understood then that no act of man could save Belgium Vervlers was the best possible slto for an ohserver who knew how to use his eyes. He assumed that what was occurring there was going on with vqual precision In Luxemburg and along the line of the Vosges Mountains Gradually, too, he reconciled his con science to theso days of waiting He be lieved now- that, his services would be Im mensely more useful to the British com- mandcr-ln-chlef In the field If he could cross the French frontier rather than reach London nnd tho War Office by way of the Bolglun const. This decision lightened his heart Ho was beginning to fear that the welfare of Irene Beresford was conflicting with duty. It was cheering to feel con vinced that the odds and ends of Informa tion picked up in Vervlers might prove of Inestimable value to the Allied cause For Instance, Liege was being laid low by eleven-Inch howitzers, but ho had seen seventeen-lncli howitzers, each In three parts, each part drawn by forty horses or a dozen traction engines, moving slowly townrd tho southwest. There lay Namur and Francei No need to doubt no where tho chief theatre of the war would find Its habitat. The German staff had blundered in Its initial strategy, hut the defect was being repaired. All that had gone before was a mere prelude to the grim business which would be transacted beyond the Meuse. During that period of quiescence, certain minor and personal elements affecting the future passed from a nebulous stage to a Btate, of quasl-acceptance. There was not, there could not be, any pronounced love making between two people so situated as Dalroy and Irene Beresford But eyes can exchange messages which the lips dare not utter, and these two began to realize that they were designed tho ono for the other by a wise Providence. As that is precisely the right sentiment of young folk In love, romance throve finely in Madame Beranger'a little auberge in the Rue de Nlvers at Vervlers. A tender glance, a touch of the hand, a lighting of a troubled face when the dear one appears these things are excellent substitutes for the spoken word (Copyrieht, tMward j.

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 clothe Chauny and bind up Its wounds, or whether It will say to tho French 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, you see. It would be a fine thing for some American city to do that. I wish I could. Somo other time perhaps It was a hor rible thing for the Germans to wreck the town and lay It waste before they left It was an unspeakable outrage. Truly, the Germans are Huns They should be ostra cized by tho world My heart aches for Chauny. I am sorry I can't adopt It I hope some one does " Phllaelphla Jprobably will not say that Since tho Evbniko Ledoek last Saturday told how the city may have the privilege of adopting this peaceful, sweet and simple hearted French town the privilege of adopt ing It or leaving It to die or find another savior a good many Phlladelphlans 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 what they were talking about They seemed to ' know their Philadelphia" (with Its own ways that some people bmlle at. Its ways that are often somewhat slow ana wearytne to peoplo from, say Chicago, Its dirty dtreets that are expected to be clean some day If they are not now, and its homes and homes and homes with big hearts In them no mat ter how simple they may be) Just as New Yorkers "know their New York" (wlthj Its Greenwich Village and Its Wall street nnd Its Broadway cafes and Its Greenwich Vil lage and its 'Wall street and Us Broadway cafes and Its Greenwich Village and Its Wall street and Its Broadway cafes). Well, those PhlladVlphlans said It was a foregone conclusion that Philadelphia would adopt Chauny nnd it was now time to go ahead and arrange the details. So If what they say Is true, It Is "up to Ambassador Jusserand" after all and not "up to Phlla delphla." Before this war that has ruined so many cities and towns and villages and desolated so many homes tho people of Chauny were a very happy people, and they had been happy for many years for so many years, In fact, that the stories the old men and women told did not even hurt any more. Some were stories of the Franco-Prussian War, but most of them wore 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 12.000 souls on the Olse, twenty miles or so southwest of St Quentln. was racked and torn time after tlmo In that bloody century nnd a few years from 1337 to 1453, when the French and Eng Ish seemed unable to make any lasting accommodation of their diffeiences. Its men wont off to the war and then tho war came to Chauny. Some times the men never came back and some times they came back crippled. The houses and churches and little stores were wrecked and ruined And' after each horror the people bravely struggled to their feet and built new houfes and new churches and new stores. And when they had them built the men would go to war again and the war would como to Chauny again Chauny lived through It all. Chauny could not bo killed then and the Germans could not kill it now. it seems. Only that Is not a certainty. The Germans havo not killed it yet, though it is weak and broken. There is a possibility that It will live some way, even If unaided; It Is certan to live if the big, strong city that It needs conies along and gives it strength ana courage. Tho stories the old men and women told wero of the wrecking and rebuilding of, the town again and again. Those weie the stories told the children in the daytime when the men were away 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 are not telling the old stories. They do not do that In times like these, when Chauny's houses aremly wreckage and the people have to pile boards Over their heads tcMnake some sort of shelter. But It Chauny Is adopted end Its homes 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 made It whole and keDt the life tn Its snul after the Oermattavftder had beerf bette' 3! &&?hfi "T- vU'. , T.J H r FRIENDS BEGIN TRAmilftf FOR RECLAMATION WOftg L .
