Again today disappointment waa the lot
of Company E, Pennsylvania Engineers, Hta

that they wcro to leave camp this morning.
Kits were packed and roady for tho trip

Tho men wero lined up nt attention, nnd
then their office held a protracted con

However, as the minutes dragged on It
became apparent that orders to leave for

PIIILADELPHIANS GET
PROMOTIONS IN ARMY
MAY CHANGE CHARTER
TO AVOID BEARING ARMS
Members of Church of Christ
Suddenly Become "Conscien
tious Objectors"'
While thousands Of young Americans are
being drafted for war service, members of
the Church of Christ have suddenly decided
that It would bo against their religious
scruples to bear arms.
Elders of tho church arc now considering
the plan to change their charter, which
would enable them to take this stand "con
scientiously "
There Is somc'dlvlslon of sentiment In tho
matter among the communicants, hut It Is
believed that the nonflghters are In the ma
jority Tho objection to bearing arms Is
based on tho commandment, "Thou shalt not
kill."
Thoso who oppose changing the charter
while tens of thousands of Americans nre
virtually marching to tho trenches say that
It would place the church In n wrong light.
Others contend that they cannot conscienti
ously bear arms and kill their brothers.
Just why the subject was not Introduced
beforo is a matter for conjecture. No one
seems to know.
Tho Church of Christ In thla city Is lo
cated at Fifty-first and Urown streets. It
has several hundred members. The church
has four hundred congregations In different
parts of the United States.
It Is denied by members of the church
that they are unpatriotic. The -suggestion
that tho charter be changed, It Is said, was
mode by one of the elders. It struck a
popular chord among many of the members,
who. It Is said, immediately declared they
had conscientious scruples regarding the
war.
Alfred Jovnes. elder of the church, ex
pressed rigret this afternoon that the mat
ter was to be given publicity. He admitted
that a controversy had arisen nnd would
be decided by the elders during the present
week.
"We must not be misunderstood," he said
'As a church, we cannot sancltlon taking up
arms and slaying our fellow men. Hut as
citizens we are willing to take part In the
war declared by the United States provid
ing we do not have to bear arms."
Those members of the church who believe
the conslentlous scruple clause can bo
worked Into their charter went on an Inves
tigating tour today to see If they could And
precedent for such a step.
Changing of the charter by the church
at this time, however, will not excuse any
members who may be drafted from ser
vice. Claim of discharge from selective draft
Is given only those who come under the
following conditions, as specified by the
Government:
"A person who was a member of a well
rrcngnlzed religion ret or organization,
organized and existing May IK, 1017, whose
then rxMIng creed or principles' forbade Its
members to participate In war In any form
and whose religious convictions are against
war or participation therein In accordance
with the creed or principles of said well
recognized religious sect or organization."
Tho elders will take action on the sug
gestion to change tho charter during tho
present week

SPOTLIGHT TO BE TURNED
ON EXEMPTION SEEKERS
Police Lieutenant nchtermeyer. of the
Second and Christian streets btatlon, who Is
charged with neglect of duty, will have his
"day In court." according to Mayor Smith.
Tho status of Echtermeycr, was was
brought Into tho limelight on account of a
vice raid made In his district, "over his
head," has caused much conjecturing.
The lieutenant said ho was not an actlnc
captain detplte reports to this effect and
nlso that he was not under suspenlosn. It
Is not necetsary for an officer to be sus
pended, It Is paid, unless the charge Is of a
criminal nature.
Mayor Smith and Director Wilson dis
cussed tho vice situation yesterday at tho
Mayor's new home in Atlantic City. Tho
Major admitted that the presence of a
large number of sailors and marines In
Philadelphia had attracted many objec
tionable persons. He asserted, however,
that in this connection Philadelphia was
no worse than any other city. Doth tho
Major and the Director said they wero
doing all they could to clean up vice In
this city. They deplored the attitude of
the courts In handling the cases of persons
arrested as moral offenders.
Police supervision waa today extended to
all sailors and marines on leave from the
Philadelphia Navy Yard, following a re
quest by Commandant Tappan that Super
intendent Itoblnson Instruct tho various po
lice districts to keep a lookout for men In
uniform who nre disorderly or violate the
law In nny manner.
The commandant asked Superintendent
Robinson in the futuro to have nil sailors
and marines arraigned In the regular way
before magistrates and sentenced. He
pointed out that If the police continue to
turn over to navy yard officials for court
martial all of the sailors and marines gath
ered In the dally police net It would bo
necessary to maintain a largo staff of men
at the yard to try cases. He said there
was no reason why the magistrates should
not try these cases, and suggested that
the superintendent advise magistrates not
to sparo .offenders because they wear the
uniform of tho I'nlted States navy or United
mates marine corps.
Immediately following the request of the
commandant Superintendent Itoblnson
called the following into conference: Cap
tain Nicholas J. Kenny, Lieutenant James
Hern, of the Eleventh and Winter streets
station, and lieutenant Pluckselder, of the
Tenth and Duttonwood streets station. Ho
told them what the commandant desired
and requested them to Issue order tn nil
policemen In tho Tenderloin to watch out
for violators wearing tho uniform He nlso
requested them to notify magistrates not
to be too lenient with men from tho navy
yard.
Until today the burden of supervision
over the conduct of men on leavo from the
navy yard has fallen chiefly on the navy
yard patrol.

OFFICIAL IN BROWN'S
COURT RAPS DIRECTOR
Wilson, of Public Safety, Out of
Sympnthy With Municipal
Tribunal, Clerk Says
That Director of Puhllc Safety Wilson 1'
"acting tho part of an ostrich with his
hend In the sand," If he hopes to stand In
the way of the Municipal Tourt's manner of
handling the lco situation, was charged
by Hlco fl. Garland, executive clerk of tho
court today In speaking for Judge Brown,
Judge Ilrown said he refused to get Into
n controversy with another branch of tho
city government, so Mr. Garland mado a
statement In answer to Director Wilson's
statement that the Municipal Court nnd the
probation system are Inefficient In handling
tho vlco situation,
Mr. Garland charged that the police de
partment has nrrcsted women Indiscrim
inately since Secretary Daniels forced no
tion on the vice situation In Philadelphia,
and sent them to the court with Insulllclent
evidence. Ho also charged that Director
Wilson has been unfriendly toward tho
Municipal Court and tho law under which
It operates since the very beginning of his
administration
"Scarcoly two weeks elapsed after Di
rector Wilson took ofllce beforo ho caused
legal proceedings to be started to test tho
constitutionality of tho Misdemeanants'
Court act," said Mr. Garfield. "Failure in
those proceedings, he circumvented the law
by charging women with disorderly conduct
only, which gavo him the option of sending
these offenders elt-ewhere than to tho Mu
nicipal Court. Not until tho United Htatci
Government protested ngalnst condition1)
did Director WINon resume sending them
to this court"
Tho Director was charged by Mr. Gar
land with attempting to shift the burden
of "his responsibility for vice conditions In
Philadelphia upon the shoulders of the
United States Government and the Mu
nicipal Court," and also, Mr. Garland said,
tho Director "never displayed any sympa
thy with the act of 1D15," which took Juris
diction over women who have been nrrested
on vice charges from magistrates' courts
nnd placed It entirely with the Municipal
Court Mr Wilton has "persistently up
held tho old system under which women
aro fined and released by magistrates," ho
said.
Tho case referred to by Mr. Garland as
being "legal proceedings to test the con
stitutionality of the misdemeanants act"
Is the case of Olga Miller, which took tho
form of a tefct cae. Her caso filially
reached the Superior Court and Judge Or
lady held that the act was constitutional.
This case cost the woman In question a
big sum of money and It was alleged that
she paid John R K Scott a big fee for de
fending her.

narrowly escaped burying several firemen.
Not one fireman was overcomo by smoko.

PLAN TO THWART ALLIES
HATCHED IN THIS CITY
Scheme Outlined Whereby Germany
Might Continue to Trade With
France Through Neutrals
An organized plan to hoodwink the AIIIm
Is revealed through the receipt In London
of a circular signed by the "German
Economic Initiative Section." The circular
which was sent from Philadelphia, fell into
the hands of the British-Italian Commercial
Association. It outlines a plan by which
tho Germans might continue to trade with
France through the agency of neutrals.
Among other things It says "the essential
point In order to prevent all difficulties
Is therefore to conceal from. France the fact
that tho goods finally are destined for ft
German firm."
Huge Revenue Bill
Reported to Senate
Continued from Pnite One
the idea of extending them to meet futuro
needs.
"The committee has at all stages acted
with a keen sense of Its responsibility and
of the extremo Importance of Its action In
Its effect upon the country and the success
ful prosecution of the war," tald the report
submitted by Chairman Simmons. "It rec
ognized the fact that tho amount repre
sents the largest taxation budget In our his
tory, nor was it unmindful ot tho fact that
those who have to pay these exactions will
also have to furnish the larger part of the
money to purchase tho bonds to be Issued
to meet such part of our expenditures as
aro not provided for by taxation, and also'l
i-uch sums as wo may from time to time ho
called upon to loan to foreign governments
engaged with us In war against Germany.
"In these circumstances your committee
was profoundly Impressed with tho ex
pediency and necessity of broadenlngg nnd
developing our system of special taxation
so as to present a scientific scheme, logi
cally constructed, so framed as to provide
a substructure sufficiently strong and
flexible to meet not only our present but
our future war needs, and so adjusted as
to distribute equitably tho necessary
burdens of taxation and safeguard the ac
tivities of tho nation by Imposing no tax
which would not leave the taxpayer a
reasonably compensatory return from his
Investment. The basis of the system pro
posed by your committee is the lnromc and
war profits taxes, internal revenue taxes
upon whisky and tobacco and certain
moderate subsidiary levies In the nature of
exclso taxes.
"The system presented Is In form much
the same as that In the House bill, but It
has, It Is believed, been systematized, co
ordinated and made more consistent. The
Incomes and war profits taxes, the basic
part of the system, have been better ad
justed to each other while the latter has
been broadened nnd raised to a parity
with tho former In the machinery of tho
schemo and In Its revenue-producing
qualities.
"As a result ot these changes It Is esti
mated that about two-thirds of the addi
tional revenue, about one-half of the total
rcvenuo from taxation for the year 1018,
will come from tho Income and war-profits
taxes. It Is also estimated that the redraft
of the war-profits provision of the bill will
ralso $302,000,000 In excesn of that antici
pated from these sources under the House
bill.
"In fixing the rates upon Incomes and
war profits your committee kept constantly
In mind the fact that the amount of revenue
derived from these Fources would depend
upon the prosperity and activity of business,
and that to Impose taxes which would tend
to dl?courago enterprise and dampen these
activities would tend to defeat the legis
lative purpose by reducing the revenue
expected from these basic courses. More
over. It thought that If the rates upon
Incomes and profits were fixed at tho high
est level consistent with best revenue.pro
duclng results, there might be but little
margin left for such further Increases In
rates as It may be found expedient to Im
pose to meet future demands for additional
revenue "
Dr. Charles J. Hexnmcr, of Philadelphia
president of tho German-American NatlonM
Alliance, today at tho Corlnthla Hotel
Atlantic City, denounced the sending of a
"creed" by tho Xntlonal Security Leagu
to the editors of 450 German-American
newspapers, for their slgnnture, Dr. Hex.
amer denounced tho ''creed" as an -'insult
to intelligence,"
Tho stntement of principles sent to German-American
editors Includos a paragraph
denouncing tho Kaiser ns a menace to th
world. There nro nine paragraphs on the
list. Ono of tho statements to which the
editors nro nsked to affix their signatures
Is to tho effect that they believe that state,
ments of tho "German monarch and of hl
Prime Minister ns to German alms and pur.
poses In tho war to be false."
Kach editor of n Gorman nevvspaper Is
nsked by tho National Security League to
subscribe his confession to allegations out
lined In tho questions.
Several leaders or the German-American
National Alllanpo In different parts of the
country who have read tho questions have
suggested that Doctor Hexamer call n meet
lng of the national executive council to
take up the questions. '
Doctor Hexamer was nsked today
whether ho would call n. meeting of the
national executive council relating to the
questions now being sent to editors of Ger
man newspapers.
"Certainly not." replied Doctor Hexamer.
"It Is an Insult to Intelligence to senj
out such questions when the organization
of which I am a member has proved that
wo nro loyal to the country. The same
applies to our newspapers which aro pub.
llshed In the German language."
Doctor Hexamer was asked whether h
would answer the questions If they ar
mailed to him. Ho replied:
"No, I won't " .
"Persons of German descent or those who
were born In Germany have proved that
they are loyal to tho United States. This
was demonstrated when tho subscriptions
were asked for tho Liberty Bonds. Just
go over that list and you will see thousands
of German names. It Is nonsensical to
send out such questions, and It Is also an
Insult."
