Nancy Wynne Has Much to Say on the Mammoth
Sporting Carnival Held Today and Tomoiv
row at Bryn Mawr Polo Grounds
LBT'us hope that today n.nd tomorrow
iwlll be "fair nntl warmer with llpht
westerly winds verging to the north,"
nd ti,nt every o'no in, around und about
I'hllftdelplila will turn tip today or
tomorrow, that la, metaphorically Break
ing, of course, at the "Greatest Show on
Earth," which Is being held on tho
grounds of the Uryn Mawr l'olo Club.
Vou can go by motor, you can bo by
trolley and you cun go by rail, and what
la more you can Bet a "Jit" after you
Bet out thcro nt tho stptlon and proceed
to tho polo grounds therein, that Is if
you do not want to walk, for really It's
not a long walk and It's quite a pretty
cne. Still a "Jit" saves time and tint
will' be something, for I doubt If you will
have time to get around to nil the won-
.derful things they will have. It's to last
morning, afternoon and evening fw two
days, and the world and his wife will cer.
tain, sure, attend.
AND that you may make no mistake as
.to all you are to take In and see onca
jou arrive at this marvelous place, Just
let mo enumerate a :w of tho features
ond attractions. The dog show, under
tho guidance of Miss Ellen I.athrop Hop
kins; moving pictures, Mrs Harry Wain
Harrison; vaudeville pcrfoimance, Mrs,
John 11. Thayer; baby show, Mrs.
Marshall; rummage sale, In charge of
Mrs. Alexander Brown; Girl and Hoy
Keout drills: hound show, under Mr.
Stanley Reeves; marine band, Mrs. Stan
ley G. Klagg, 3d; restaurant, Mrs. John C.
Groome; lunch counter, Mrs. C. V. Har
rison, Jr.; horse show, Mrs. David Sharpe,
nd at night tho Main I.lno pageant
under Mrs. Otis Skinner.
Mrs. Archibald Barklte Is chairman of
the whole executive committee, and the
women associated with her Include Mrs.
Billy Clothier, vice chairman; Mrs. Charl
ton Ynrnall, Mrs. Henry Knrnshaw. Mrs.
Mason I.tslc, Mrs. Ned Roberts. Mrs. Wil
liam Henry Brooks, Mrs. T. T. Watson,
Mrs. 'William C. Wilson, Mrs. Edward B.
Cassatt, Mrs. Adolph G. Kosengarten,
accrotnry, and Miss Ellen Lathrop Hop
Mas, assistant secretary. You will admit
It's some committee of ability.
IHEAIt tho Overseas Committee of lite
Emergency Aid has undertaken the
lion's Hhnre of the work of sending the
Christinas kits abroad for our fcoldlers.
Just think, they have to plan and send
them now. that they may suiely be there
In time for Chiisrmas. Theio has been
an almost unanimous resolution through
Emergency Aid -circles to curtail homo
Christmas celebrations, If necessary, that
the men abroad may be given every
thing that can bo gotten over there safely
to help and cheer them on that great day.
A Christmas bag committee has been
formed, with Mrs. Sam Bell, Jr., a
chairman, and Mrs. Louis Rodman Page,
Mrs. Jack Mason, Mrs. Jack Holllngs
worth, Miss Florence Bell and our small
friend, Agnes Brockle. Now, what in
tho world do you think Ag Brockle U
doing among so many older people? Well,
I figured It out that Ag's future mother-in-law,
being among thoso named, has
probably got her Interested in the' work.
And It Is remarkable how much a girl of
Ag's ago can accomplish In this kind of
thing. She is- so cuto and appealing, r
bet thero would be mighty few persons
who could leslst her when sho cocks
her small head to one side and asks for
a contribution for the Christmas boxes
for the men in France, especially when
tlie realize that her own special "liestest"
is oer theie running an ambulance.
Mis Hell and her committee Hie out
for contributions, and they will be most
giatefully received at 142S Walnut street.
Contributions of mon-'y will ftelp muchlv
nd also bags made of cretonne and filled
with any of the useful articles which are
needed. Tho committee has already dis
patched 200 bags, und hope!) to send at
least a thqusand more.
In the bags are an article of warmth, a
scarf, .socks, bweater or helmet, while
tobacco, sweet chocolate, chewing gum,
games.i penclls'und pads and many other
little accessories go to (111 them up. Th.o
tatisfactlon of bringing Christmas cheer
to some poor soldier, when It costs but a
dollar, s being gratefully accepted by
many v)io ate learning of this oppor
tunity for the llrst time.
PHHHAI'.S you'wl
hear that the Ag
III be Interested to
Agnes Irwin Alumnau
Class will resume its weekly meetings for
muklng surgical dressings next Wednes
day in the surgical dressing room of tho
Hmergency Aid, at H2S Walnut street
Tho class meets from 10 n. m. to p. m
every Wednesday during the fall, winter
and spring.
WE MAY leave It to tho kiddies to got
right to the joint about things und
specially things spiritual. Sometimes
when you look into their clear, wide
eyes it seems as if they must see ti
fclt of Heaven In their dreams. When
these small youngsters pray, they ask for
what they want without hesitation, and
they want what they want all right, too,
Con't they?
Ruth and Betty have a good deal to
pray about every night, and Kuth
showed considerable concern In her 'small
countenance recently. The "grown-ups"
had been talking about evcrytWng
"going up," milk going up, coal going up,
bread, Sutter and eggs going up, and
so on, with most of tho necessities of life,
Ruth worried and worried; however, bless
your heart, sho said nothlnf. not even to
Hetty, but she decided unto herself that
the family must have some help, and
astonished her mother greatly that night
by adding to her usual prayer, "and
Please, DO PLEASE, keep things from
'going up,' because If they go up any
Wgher I don't kpOw what wo'll do."
Jiut Betty beat her In the manner of
prayer nnd the object prayed for, when
she was a very small person. She de
sired uboVe all things u white labblt.
llother always kissed her good-night after
her prayers were said, and then stood
outside the door to make sure that Betty
hatj started on tho road to the Land of
cdi But this night tho rabbit was on
tty'a mind, so she slipped down by the
-, W"i.i"PliK!r,l wUnt'u-mbblL
I'leaso do gjvo me n inbblt." Then she
looked around, but no rabbit appealed
Again she -prayed. "Oh! I want u rabbit,
and plcaso make It a. white rabbit." Still
no rabbit. "Oh! please glvo melt whlto
rabbit, just now." She looked around
nguln and still no inbblt. Then she an
nounced Philosophically. "Oh, well, keep
your old rabbit," and bang! mother heard,
as sho bounced back Into bed..
VOU know all the good things to cat
A you always have on your birthday?
And, honestly now, you sort of tuke them
as a matter of course, don't you? Well,
what do you suppose you would do If you
were In the trenches? There wouldn't bo
much of nnythlng to take for granted
there, except shells and mud and smoke,
and you would have n very lively and ap
preciative memory of a-certain night Just
a year ago when you danced the evening
nway with never a thought of doing any
thing else. Ono man who Is In tho am
bulance servlco over theio wiote home,
though, that ho had had a regular "whiz.
bang" feast on his blithday. And what
do you BUppose thnt was? Why, a bottle
of something or other, and several mar
velous, almost-unheard-of eggs. I'll wager
he won't forget THAT party In a hurry.

DU. .SAMFKL McC. HAMILL, of this city,
said on Tuesday at tho convention of
the Medical Koelety of Pennsylvania In
Pittsburgh: "There has been no time In tho
history of the world In which the child has
been a gi eater economic factor than the
present, and for this reason there bus never
been a time when the chili! has had a
greater chance to receive the consideration
duo him." And on tho snmo day IT. John

for the, city to i onslder Philadelphia chil
dren, saying that "playground space is the
greatest need of our public tahools nt pres
eiit What we lack is space and also the
means to get it," continued tho Superlnten
dentif Schools 'There ale sixty hchools In
Philadelphia where tho pla ground space
Is wholly Inadequate for tho number of
child! en uttendlng It Is no longer desirable
or possible for children to play in the street
Times have (hanged The street Is now a
dangerous plaj ground in moio vvajs than
one. '
Now It Is because the street Is a dangerous
playground thnt the members of the Central
North Philadelphia Hiisiness Association
have been working for a pl.ij ground for tho
hildreii of their Immediate neighborhood
It was suggested to tho association by Mr.
'William Urcen, of 1113 West Indiana ave
nue, that tho ground of the old hay market.
Twelfth nnd Cambria streets, would be an
Ideal location for a playground." Imme
diately a committee was appointed to co
operate with tho citizens who have been
urging tho huslness men to work for tho
welfaro of tho children. The nelghboiliood
is thickly populated with children of tho
plavlng age, but the pla ground Is lacking.
Tho old hay market was originally at
Seventh and Oxford streets, built thero in
18D7. Tho ground was sold and new

DEPENDS UPON THE WAR

GERMAN RULE A FAILURE
Teutons Unable, to Govern Colonials
nnd Restoration Would Menaco
NeiRhborinR Possessions
By WALTER LONG
Ilrlthh SeerUry of Stute for the Colonies
Written for the Vnited rrtai
LONDON, Sept. 1 (by mall).
You ask mo to glvo you my opinion upon
tho question of tha German colonies which
wo havo captured during tho war. I do
not think that that question can be put In
qulto so simple a form. It really is depend,
ent upon two totally different conditions.
Tho first and most Important Is the form
and character of our vlrtoiy. If It is as
rotnpleto as wo all hopo and believe it will
he. then, of course, we can dictate our
terms, and there can be no doubt, I think, in
the mind of anybody what they will be. If,
on the other hand, the victory' were to re
sult in an Inconcluslva peace, It Is quite
obvious that any declarations inado now
would havo very little effect. These Ger
man possessions have been captured by Brit
ish tioops, many of them from our domin
ions and colonies. The policy of the empire
Is not. ard never has been, to seek territory
for territory's sake.
Take, for Instance. Australia and the
I'nlon of South Africa. Hach has land
enough and pioblems enough to keep It
engaged for a long time to come, but In the
case of each her German neighbor consti
tuted a grave menace, to her security nnd
peace, nnd it was to remove this menace
that they determined to capture the col
onies, not for the purpose of increasing
their imperial possessions, but the same
remark applies equally to German Hast
Africa not ci fully conquered, but prob
ably soon to be. I tun quite suie of this
that our dominions, looking, as I have said,
to the question of their own future security,
will vehemently resent any attempt to re
store German rule In thoso territories, at
nil events, if German rule In the futuie Is
to be nnythlng comparable with what Ger
man rule has been In the past.
Further, we cannot with wisdom Ignore
tho fact that In tho future the submarine
and airplanes, and all the modern and
tcrriblo Inventions of war. will have ma
terially altered the situation, nnd we are
compelled to ask ourselves what would be
tho opportunities of a selfish and aggres
sive Power, animated solely by military
lust, if wo were to allow them to retain In
every part of Africa outposts which they
would assuredly make submarine and air
craft bases and convert Into strongholds
from which to attack their peaceful neigh
bors. You also ask me what Is my view of the
proposition that the Portuguese should sell
Portuguese Hnst Africa to German), In
order to iccompense her for the loss of her
African possessions. Well, there has, I
know, been some discussion 'about this. Per
sonally. I am not Inclined to favor the Idea,
which seems to mo to savor far too much
of disregarding the views of the natives,
and treating them ns though were mere
chattels. The British territories In Africa
would still havo a very troublesome neigh
bor What they want is peace. 1 have
no doubt that they would entertain no ob
jection to see Gennan colonies growing up
beside them If this meant the real develop
ment of the wholo country, the bettering
of the condition of the natives and African
progress generally, but they know from
bitter experience that It means exactly tha
opposite.
In their view, which I believe to be well
founded, Germany has never learned how
to colonize. Her Idea of foreign possession
Is that It Is something to bo exploited solely
for her own Immediate profit. The rights
and advancement of tho natives seem to
mean nothing to her.
You ask me also what of the suggestion
made In some quarters of trading back to
Germany her conquered colonies in consid
eration of her lellnqulshment of Alsace
Loiralne to France My reply Is that this
haB been suggested as a possibility only
resulting from an Inconclusive peace.
I am not prepared to contemplate or dis
cuss any peace of this character. We as an
empire havo made immense sacrifices? and
ate still making them. The United States
has come Into the war and is throning
all her great strength into the common pool.
We both leallzo quite clearly that the cause
of the Allies Is not Individual advantage In
terrltnr.v. but tho future freedom nnd lib
el ty of tho wot Id. and I think It must ba
clear tr all of us that if the German policy
in the future Is to be what it has been In
the past and. Judging from the utterances
of her leading repiesentntlves. there Is no
f prospect of a change then the security of
our own countries aim me peace of the
world will be gravely endangered If she is
allowed to leturn to the status quo ante
bellurn. A peace that will see these op
pressed German possessions started on the
load toward progress and prosperity, with
a future ilka that of other British colonies
as their goal, la tho only peace which the
world can contemplate with satisfaction.

A try active branch of tho Ited Cr0M
'connected with tha Church of pL Blra
the CyrenUn, Twenty econd and R
streets, of which tha Ilev. John It. UM
Is pastor; It Is Lea's Auxiliary, No, 6. knf
was organized early in the summer. Thi '
meetings are held on Wednesday and Fri
day evenings, from S o'clock until 10, as
all branches of tha work have been takea
up. Mrs. Kdlth M. Hurley is Instructor '
In dressmaking, Mrs. Mary Bradford hi
surgical dressings ana Mrs. J. Jones In mili
tary comforts.
Tho third dance In the series tha't lis
been planned by tha Junlqr Auxiliary ot ,
the Church of the Holy Apostles, TwentyV
flist and Christian streets, took place on
Wednesday evening In tho girls' gymnasium,,
when about 100 sailors from the United
States Naval Home, Twenty-third anil
Grays Ferry road, were entertained. After '
a delightfully Informal dance, at which tha
members of the auxiliary acted as hist
esses, refreshments the home-made kind
were served. In addition to the usual ka
cream, and, needless to say, every minute,
of the evening was enjoyed. It Is a splen
did thing tho way every one Is trying t
make the sailors and soldiers feel they r
not a great ways from home as yet, It hi
said that over In the trenches the very
mention of the word "homo" is abtoluUly
tabooed, for It seems that the mention of
the word makes the Midlers mora home
sick than anything else. It seems almost
too sacred for "camp-fire" discussion.
Tho Friday evening dances given with
such success last year by the members of
St. Itlta's Club. Broad and Ellsworth streets,
have been resumed again this year and to
night is the third affair of the season.
TheJe are very .enjoyable affairs delight
fully Informal, and well managed by tha
entertainment committee, whloti Includes
Mr. Joseph Addallzzl, Mr. Frank Jewell, Mr.
Gerald Brcnnan and Mr. Joseph McCotter.
The annual fall dance will be held this
yenr in Danceland, some time In November.
