Ringing Appeal Made
to All Philadelphia
FIELLOW CITIZEN'S! So far, the
donations to the funds for lite War
Council of the Younjr Men's Christian
Association have been received from
approximately 2000 of a population
of 2.000,000. It is the cHrncst hope
of the executive committee that nt
least 100,000 people will lend their
help with eithor large or small sub
scriptions. Dooths havo been placed
in various parts of the city so that
no man, woman or chih will be able
to sny that he or she did not have an
opportunity to contribute to tho war
fund. Surely Phlla.delpl.iun8 will not
fail to do their part to make the life
of the enlisted men of our army and
navy u little more comfortable and
help provide for those who may bo
imprisoned in Germany!

Chairman for Philadelphia County,
TAFT'S CLARION CALL
IN AID OF WAR FUND
Ex-President Tells Camden
Y. M. C. A. It Opens Way to
Freedom From Militarism
NATION'S GREAT CHANCE
t'lttinate Independence of mlllinrlsm by
the t tilted States Is seen as a rcaull of the
uar by former PrcMdcnt William Howard
Taft. who today told the members of the
Camden Y. 51. f A. teanih working In be
half of the 33,000,000 war fund, that the
Russian und Italian bltuatlons should not
causo tit to beconto iicsslmlstlo and de
xtroy our confidence In final -.leton'. but
rather sliould Etlr the nation to greater
efforts to win tho war.
The cx-Prosldent was In u jovial mood
when he arrived at the association's head
quarters, 560 Federal street, accompanied
by F. Wuyland Aycr, F. 5torso Archer, ex
Shcrlff David Bnlrd and C. W Vhltehalr,
International i-ecretary of the Y. JI C A.
Asked to pose for an Hvi:nino, I.i:t)Ocn
photographer, he replied'
"Sure the plctutu should tell 100,000
copies of the paper."
Then. Ilndlng that Mr. Balrd, who In the
"boss" of tho Republican Organization In
New Jertey, was not in the group, Mr. Taft
called out
' Oomo here, Davy ; get In this picture
I need a boss."
Mr. Taft, In his address to the workers,
praised the educational work of the Y. M.
C A , which, he declared, had taught the
people how to glvo and the "tight-wads of
the country how to open
The ex-Prcildent said :
"N'ovv, In this great war that we are
fighting, this great war that means m much
for the world and for us, that means our
ultimate Independence of militarism, there
are three great things that the men behind
the trenches, tho men. women and children
at home can do. One Is to lend their credit
or glvo thplr credit to their own fiovern
tnent; that we have been doing Another
Is to raise a fund that shall look after the
men who arc wounded, and that we havo
done and expect to do In the future through
the Red Cross The third and equally Im
portant It Is Invidious to make compari
sons, because they are all Indispensable Is
to look after tho unwoundud men, to keep
up their morale, to give them that at the
front which will enable tliem to be good
fighters, and enable them to resist the
temptations of rtrunkennes, debauchery and
demoralization, and shall send them Into
tho trenches to do the work fur their coun
try and for tjielr God.
"The Y. M. C. A. has taught the coun
try how to give. Introepeotlvely and psy
chologically It has been a benefit to the
men of wealth of this country that Is not
aluay8 appreciated but that could not be
exaggerated. The Y. M. C. A. has taught
the men who have accumulated money tho
real uses of that money for their own eleva
tion and for their own Intellectual and re
ligious enjoyment, for that Is what It Is It
has taught them that they cannot be happy
with that money unless they feci a responsi
bility In respect to It and give largely of It
to objects that, having given to, they luvc
their money again In great Increase so far
as enjoyment Is concerned. You havo
taught tho tight-wads of the world and the
country to open; that Is what you have
done In tho Y. M. C. A."
RL'SSIAN-ITALIAX CLOUD A SPUR
"Clouds hang over our caue In the con
dition In Russia und In the condition In
Italy. That should not make us pessl
n Ihllo, It should not destroy our confldenoo
In ultima to lctory, but we should look
upon thoe things as a means of stirring
the country to the necessity for effort, In
order that we may win that victory which
wo must win.
"We ale dealing with a public that has
been atrophied by comfort, by success,, by
prosperity, by money, by case of living. In
all corners of the country and In all rnnks
of life, and they have to be stirred to
think In terms of the country, to lose their
class sentiments and selllsh alms, to fill
the atmasphcro with the war and Its ob
ject and make it the background of every
thing they do. so that other things shall be
only Incidental. Now, you are the Instru
ments to bring that to your people In this
community.
ONLY THE BEGINNING
"You are (inly beginning; this J35, 000,000
seems u large amount; you are winning
your way toward success In that regjrd.
but this l.i only the beginning, and the men
to whom you go you should not encourage
and yiu do not, 1 am sure by making
them think j.hat this is the last that they
are to give.
'This la only the beginning of what they
are to give; and what they are going
through Is a psychological change on that
very point.
"People say, "Oh. hut the calls are so
many!' They don't know what the calla
are going to be ; they cannot know until
they go to Hngland or to Canada or Borne
place whera the countries have been
through three years of this war, and then
they will know the change and krw tho
fierce happiness, for that Is what It is, of
those who hive lost sons, who have given
over most of what they have; the fierce
happlqess that they have In the virtuous
feeling that they have done their duty,
that they have stood up for their country
and that they have made the contest for
the world with all that they have, holding
everything subject to the call of the cause."
Secretary Whltehalr, who hau Just ar
rived from the front, declared that tho
people on this side are not worthy to touch
the blood-matted bodies of their boys who
have given their all, and pointed to the
food on the table In front of him with the
remark that such was not known at the
front. No butter, sugar, or fuel, the latter
being priced at 160 a ton, he added, are
seen there.
The secretary described the horrors pf
some of the battles that he had seen from
the Y. M. C. A. posts In the dugouts made
by the enemy's shells, and remarked; "It
Is the worst hell that man ever has con
ctlved or can conceive." The Y, M. c. A.
ducouts, he added, give tea and encourage,
ment to the men that are wounded and
passed by them.

The defendants registered on Juno 5, at

scheme has progressed.
SAYS U. S. MUST CONTROL
BOTH WAGES AND PRICES
Only Way to Save Country, Fed
eral Reserve Official Testifies
in Re.te Hearing
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.
The Government must fix wages of labor
and prices of alt commodities If the country
Is to escape from the "vicious circle" of
constantly Increasing prices-.
This was the opinion expressed by Paul
M. Warburg, vice governor of the Federal
Ileserve Board, In reply to questions by
members of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission this afternoon at the railroad rate
hearing
"Is It not true that this is only the first
of a long series of Increases that muBl be
granted to the railroads?" Warburg was
asked by Commissioner Woolley. "Is It
not true that, after the railroads are
granted this Increase, prices of labor and
materials will again go up and they will
have to come again for other large In
creases V"
"Yes," Warburg snapped out. "Tho coun
try Is now In a vicious circle. The only
way to stop It Is for the Government toflic
wages of labor and prices of commodi
ties." Still under cross-exnmlnatlon Warburg
was asked what should be tho propor pro
portion between railroad stoeks and bonds.
There are now more bonds out than stocks,
because the railroads have more difficulty
marketing stocks, but the correct proior
Hon. he said, should be "flfty-flfty."
Private financing by the railroads should
be restricted, however, he added, 'to leave
room In the Investment market for floating
of Government war loans.
"The commission should not spilt hairs
and fuss over technicalities," he said.
"It should grant the Increases asked to
put the railroads In stupe to meet the war
emergency."
