PHILADELPHIA CONSCRIPTS LEAVE FOR CAMP

NEW PARTY NAMED
BY BLANKENBURG
"Town Meeting" Title Was
Suggested by Warhorse
of Reform
COMMITTEE BACKS H I M
0fcJMfl'
"Tho old warhorso of reform" has put
across another body blow at civic Immoral
ity: A week ago last night- nearly every
twentieth person In Philadelphia more than
twenty-one jears of ngo crowded around
the Academy of Music In nn effort to get
within Ha doors and Join In tho cxpies
slon of the city's indignation over "govern
ment by murder." That assemblage of 30,
000 citizens constituted one of tho most
remarkable "town meetings" ever held ln
Philadelphia.
Tho three or four thousand poisons who
were fortunate enough to get within tho
building were thrilled most of nil by one
man. Ho dominated the meeting. Venerable,
wlilte-crouned, snowy -bearded Rudolph
Blankenburg thundered denunciation of the
political crimes whoso taint had never sul
lied his administration of tho city's affairs.
Answering his call to rally around the
btandard of civic decency once more, the
great audience bhouted Its admiration for
the uncompromising, indomitable old tighter.
A committee was chosen to translate the
ideals expressed at that meeting Into ac
tion. A new political party bad emerged
from that meeting, dedicated to the over
throw of the "boss" rule of the clt. The
men of tho' committee met together to
give ii name to this new pol't'ui' .rgunlza
lion, born fUhtlng.
One name after another was suggested
Nono seemed to catch and preserve the
spirit which had animated that great gath
ering of citizens which had surged around
the Academy of Mus.lc the spirit of tho
decent people of an cntlro city, assembled
together to act as a welded unit.
Tho suggestion, 'contained, as reproduced
above, on a slip of paper, tired the hearts
of the committee. They adopted It with
enthusiasm 'This Is the name born In
the heart of Rudolph Blankenburg!" they
cried. 'The new party shall bear no namo
except ono which Bhows that the united
strength of 300,000 homes Is Its battlecry "
Only a bit of history, this, which chron
icles how the new party was named by
Philadelphia's oldest warrior for the right.
But If "The Town Meeting Party" always
preserves the same youthful -rigor which
Rudolph Blankenburg has shown Its use
fulness will be never-ending. The slip writ
ten by Mr. Blankenburg and signed by him
was sUen by him exclusively to tho
EVENINO LEDaEIl.
WILL PUSH LIBERTY LOAN
AT WORLD'S SERIES GAMES
Ty Cobb and Other Diamond Notables
Expected to Urge Fans to
"Come Across"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.
In honor of the world's series, which be
gins Saturday, the second Liberty Loan
campaign will be given a baseball angle,
capitalising the popularity of the great
American sport to win support for the Gov
ernment war financing.
Oscar Price, publicity director of tho loan,
today telegraphed to all Federal Reserve
banks and local committees potlfylng them
that the world's series and the Second Lib
erty Loan must occupy at least equal places
In the hearts of the American people for
the next week. The dictum laid down by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo that
"every man who buys a Liberty Bond
makes a base hit against the Kaiser, and
every -man who buys four Liberty Bonds
makes .a 'home ruri," Is to bo used to the
best effect by the local committees all over
the country.
Mr. Price today telegraphed Ty Cobb and
asked him to make a speech In support of
the Liberty Loan during the world series.
Mr, Price wants, Cobb to speak from the
diamond and appeal to all baseball fans In
the stands and bleachers to subscribe to tbe
war loan. If possible Ty Cobb and other
popular baseball Idols will be secured to
make speeches from the diamond every day
of the big series.
It Is the intention of the Treasury that
the people shall not for one moment forget
the L'borty Loan and the country's need fpr
money In their enthusiasm over the ball
games At every turn the thousands at
tending the contests wlh" be reminded that
the money is needed to maintain the Amer
ican side of the greater .contest across the
vwster.

SEARCH FOR TWO
GERMAN RAIDERS
U. S. and Japanese Craft
Hot on Trail of Teuton
Pirate Craft
FORMER SEEADLER CREW
WASHINGTON'. Oct. C.
Watchful ships of the American nnd
Japanese Pacific patrols are hunting today
for the two German raider pirates known
to be cruising the south seas.
The raiders ore manned by ruthless Teu
tons, who piloted the raider Secadler put
of Germany under disguise of a Norwegian
sailing ship, swept her over to the Atlan
tic, sinking victims as she went, and then
around Cape Horn to Mopcha Island, where
she stranded and pounded to pieces. This
fate came only after she hid rounded up
twelve Allied ships In her earlier cruising
and three American schooners, Slade, Manila
and A D. Johnson, In the Pacific.
Some of the stranded acrmans, nftcr
reaching Mopeha, fitted out a motor sloop
on August 21 j the others seized the French
schooner Lutece when she put Into Mopeha,
and. using the Secadler's gun"", started out
afresh.
Onptaln Smith, of tho Slnde, reports to
the Navy Department from Tutulla, Samoa,
that he and other prisoners were dumped
on a derolate island, that he and others
made their way to Tutulla, but that the
others were badly In need of food. This
has been sent. Meantime, there Is reason
to believe that tho two raiders havo con
tinued their operations, though whether
they havo bagged new victims Is unre
vealcd. The patrols are on careful watch, while
the Navy Department has taken the ndded
precaution of concealing all naval vessel
movements and ship sailings In the Pacific?
for some days past.
OFFICIAL STATKMHNT
The dispatch from Tutulla as announced
by the Navy Department reads:
:ST0RE"0PENS 8.30 A. -M., CLOSES 5.30
