AT MMP MEADE
TO BE HOME CHRISTMAS
News Is Out That Passes Will
Be General at
Yuletide
DEPENDS ON RAILROADS
Transportation Agent Declares It Will
Bo Easy Special Trains to
Football Game
CASH' JIIUP, ADJIinAU Md.. Dec. 1.
Twenty thousand Camp Meade men will
receive permission to spond Chrlstmis nt
their home.. This was the good news that
emanated front the camp's big chiefs today.
Although the commander declines to Is
uo an official statement to that effect, there
Is little doubt tint tho good news will
becomo reality long before tho Yuletide
season.
Whether such a big body of men can
obtain passes depends largely upon tho
nblllty of tho railroads to handle? them.
Frank O. Hosklns. railroad transportation
agent at the camp, asserts thai the task
will he an ea3j one for the roads to per
form, and to substantiate his .statement
ho pointed to tho work of today when th
Pennsylvania and Baltimore nnd Ohio Ball
roads handled 8000 men who had passes
to attend the football game In Philadelphia.
Early today tho 8000 men were bundled
Into six special trains and sent on their
way In less than an hour after tho men
nrrlved at the Disney Station. Three trains
were sent to Philadelphia over tho Balti
more and Ohio tracks, nnd the other three
on the Pennsylvania System.
The Christmas crowd. If I.lttlo Penn's
commander decides to permit a crowd to
leave camp, will bo handled In the same
manner.
General Nicholson will not attend the big
game today between tho football teams rep
resenting Camp Dlx and I.lttlo Penn, for
military business Is so pressing that he Is
unable to spare the time. His failure to
make the Journey to Philadelphia Is dlx
appointing to Pennsylvania Ilallroad oin
clals. for they had mado elaborate plans to
convey him to Philadelphia In a special
car. Both the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio roads sought tho honor of carry
ing the General, and to straighten out the
tangle General Nicholson tossed n coin to
determine which road he would patronize.
The Pennsylvania won, but officials of the
road were Informed lato last night that
despite their good fortune In winning flie
toss they would bo spared the trouhlo of
providing transportation facilities for the
good natured and sportHmanflke commander,
Tho hpeclal trains for Philadelphia left
the camp nt eight - minute Intervals this
morning, the first one getting away at 7:20
Two trains will return tonight for the pur
pose of bringing back the Marylanders and
Washington men. Tomorrow nfternoon
special trains will leave Philadelphia for
the camp In order to rellovo tho congestion
for regular trains.
Boy Scouts Open
$125,000 Campaign
Continued from I'uit" On
which show the number of Philadelphia
Hoy Scouts who have entered the nation's
service, and others who will carry more
than 100 smaller flags presented to 'various
scout troops by tho Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution for services they have
performed.
Tho third section of the parade con
tained fi"e divisions which typified the
various Boy Scout activities, such us "first
aid" work, camping and hiking, the merit
badge system, nautical scouting and sig
naling. In the fourth division a big banner, on
which w.s lettered President Wilson's mes
sage of praise to the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica, with hi signature reproduced beneath
It was carried. Then came a float de
pleting the Boy Scouts' headquarters, or
"citizen factory," showing how the or
ganization trains boys. j,Tcp by step, until
they become men who are a credit to tho
community. The Interest of 13,000 boys
has been enlisted by the local organization
since It was started, sax trig hundreds from
Juvenile, delinquency, guiding hundreds Into
suitable trades and professions and Im
planting In all of them the Boy Scout prin
ciples, which "will make the next generation
safe."
When the parade reached Spruco street
it countermarched, nnd at Chestnut street
was Joined by n division of BOO other
scouts who marched from Franklin
Field after having given an exhibition drill
before the football game between the Camp
Meade and the Camp Dlx teams.
Through the courtesy of Stanley V. Mnst
baum, managing director of the Stanley
Company, motion pictures of tho parade to
day were mado. These will be shown In
Philadelphia next week.
Committee Decides
on New City Loan
Continued from Pace One
outstanding and estimated obligations Is
made.
It was to make certain of the opening of
the books In January that Chairman Gnff
ney today prepared and had Introduced the
bills to fund the outstanding financial needs
before the end of the present year. In this
way he hopes to offset and put at rest oppo
sition to the fact that the record-breaking
tax rate does not provide for all tho city
needs as conducted under the Vare-Smlth
Administration.
Organization leaders are making futile
efforts to show that a part of the Increased
expense, caused largely by new places, sal
ary Increases, etc, Is duo to a legacy from
tho Blankenburg Administration. Accord
ing to Controller Walton's report, the last
Administration quit with a balance of J6S6,
003.85 as available for general appropria
tion. At least $400,000 was available, as In
the general deficiency loan of 1916 $270,
918.75 was charged against the former Ad
ministration. MAY BOYCOTT HOSPITALS
Face Interne Shortage for Failing to
Comply With Bureau Request
IIAnniSBCrtG, Dec 1. Several score
hospitals In Pennsylvania will run the
risk of not liaUng internes recommended
to them by the State Bureau of Medical
Education and Licensure for falling to com
ply with the requirements of the bureau to
treat certain diseases.
It Is said most of the hospitals of the
State, Including some which do not receive
appropriations, have taken such steps as to
provldo the treatment, particularly since
the United States Government asked gen
eral support for the movement to eradicate
such cases because of the national emer
gency. The hospitals today received formal
notice of what the bureau asks.

LETTER PROM A SELECTED MAN
AT CAMP MEADE TO HIS SISTERJ
"Bob" Gives "Betty" Recipe for Standard War
Cake Made Without Butter or Eggs.
Describes Men's Hop
CAMP MIJADH, Admiral, Md., Nov. 30.
"pvttArt BUTTY: Another letter, but It Is
-' necessary. In wartlmo you must ex
pect anything to happen nnd bo ready for
great sacrifices, even ready to sacrifice your
valuable time to answer my letters.
But, 'eliminating the personal, I am pen
ning you this letter In order that you can
get husy on .omcthlng practical. Tho war
has de eloped many big things In America,
and our country, despite tho pacifists and
croakers. Is getting down to real business,
but the outstanding featuro of our work at
l.lttlc Prnn concerns tho dcelopment of a
War Cake.
Flr.t honors for this notable nchlee
ment inuit bo given to the 316th Infantry,
an nil-Pennsylvania outfit that 1m com
manded by Colonel Oscar J. Charlo, who
graduated from Wett Point In 1894. The
31 bth Is getting there In everything, but
Its War Cako Is tho last word In pastry,
and, best ot all. It Is a buttcrless, cggless
and mllkless affair. And some cahc, too.
I am hcndlng the recipe and trus,t that
you will pass It along, but do me one faor,
please follow directions. And now for tho
recipe, which I nm certnln will maUn the
bet cake that my little sister ecr reimned
from on oven !
Two cupful" of sugar, two cupfuls of
water, two tablespoonfuls of lard, two tea
spoonfuls of cinnamon, one-half tenspoonful
of salt. Boll these Ingredients about five
minutes and when cool add three cupfuls of
flour with onj teaspoonful of baking soda
sifted with It. Then bake In a moderate
oven.
And If that 'doesn't make the best cake
you ever ate then I shall resign from the
National Army.
This cako has been adopted as a stand
ard for Little Penn and will probably be
como th" standard for tho tntlre nnny, for
It meets the approval of Mr. Hooer, Sec
retary Baker and everybody Identified with
the War Department und the effort to con
sen o food. Don't try to Improve It by
adding an egg or lump of butter, but follow
the directions that were given to mo by
Mess Sergeant Lawrence Kllngler, of Com
pany L, 31Cth Infantry.
Kllngler, who comes from Catasauqua,
Pa., Is not tho originator of the War Cake,
hut Is serving it to the men in his com
pany. Kllngler, by the way, has captured
first honors as an Interior decorator. He
has decorated the mess hall In the com

by headquarters' company of the 315th In
fantry on Thnnksglvlng or. Well, tho big
thing about that "shine" was this: Colonel
Itosenbaum, who commands tho regiment,
smashed army traditions by nppearlng and
dancing with the Indies. Heretofore, It has
been regarded as bad form, In fact, a lola
tlon of army ethics, for an olllcer, and par
ticularly a colonel, to attend a dance that
Is held by the enlisted men. But our colo
nel upset tradition and enjoyed himself and
other officers did the same.
It was certainly a military affair and a
big bunch from Phllly attended. The dance
program read l!ko an army roster. The
first number, a one-step, was dedicated "To
Our President." tho second to Secretary
Baker and then down the line.
Captain P. A, Awl was ery much pleatrd

COURT FINDS FATHER
NEGLECTED CHILDREN
Philadelphia Street Foreman
Held on Charge at
Atlantic City
ATLANTIC CITY. Dec. 1.
A struj told with reluctance by Kllzabeth
Pollantl, fourteen jcars old. while her eyes
constantly searched tho face of her father,
the dtfendai.', tauced Judge Shlnn to find
Domlnlik Pol.anti. of Philadelphia, a btreel
foreman and politician, guilty of falling to
provide for two of lis niny chldrcn, the
witness and Tony, eight years old.
Tho children weir nearly frozen, it Is
said, when counly officials rescued them
from n shack In the uoods near McKee
City a veek ago Neighbors had supplied
them with clothing, food and bed coer
Ings. It war shown also that Elizabeth,
tic elder of the children now In care of
the Crlttenton Mission here, bought, all
her apparel except ulioes and hat wltl
money she had earned picking berries. The
hat and shoes were gnen to her.
Pollantl hi first pleaded poverty and
then said tlir.t lie H the owner of two prop
erties, the house m which he lives, nt 913
South Slth street, and another on Chris
tian street. He denied leaving the two
children aloe in the hut In the woods, a
quarter of a i ur from the nenrest neighbor,
In freezing weati.er Ho said ho had Milt
them basket., of food from time to time
npd ordered the McKee City grocer to give
them anything they required.
l'"ornier Judge Coli counsel for Pollantl,
questioned whether t le defendant, a Penn
bylvanlan, could be held accountable for
his failure to obey 'ew Jersey's compul
sory education law. lie asked tho Court
also to take Into acco mt that Pollantl Is a
foreigner and probably thought ho was
taking sufficient care cf his children.
Judge Shlnu said the fact that Pollantl Is
of foreign birth had nothing to do with
the case.
"He's Iifng In a free -ountry, where chil
dren must hae a squars deal, he added.
Sentence was defcrrcl to permit of fur
ther Investigation. Judje Shlnn expressed
tho opinion that Mrs. Pollantl had not
spokn freely because o fear of her hus
band, and laid he would llko to rclcaso her
from further duress.

NEW REGULATION A POSER
T
District Board No. 1 Struggles Vainly

of Registrants '
Kfforts of the large corporations to have
tholr employes exempted from military
service, pressed to the point of requesting
reconsideration of tho decisions of District
Appeal Hoard No. 2. In this city, havo been
frustrated by orders from the provost mar
shal general.
District Appeal Hoard No. 2 has Jurlsdlc
tlon of the portion of the tlty that cm
brnces.vtrtually all of the Industrial plants,
with their complex labor problems brought
about'by Hie draft, und It has given hear

that they wcro necessary to tho continued
manufacture of tlovernmeut contract ma

speedy delivery of the Qoiemment supply.
In other instances It Is not ho mucn me
question of patriotism, but rather n. finan
cial loss on tho part of the corpr-ratlon.
which will huvo to pay more to get an
other man to fill tho place of the selected
man.
District Appeal Hoard No. 2 lins received
Inttructloiw from Pn'vo.st Marshal Clcneral
Ciowdcr not to reopen any case or recon
sider its decisions. This Is the answer
that tho board Is now giving to all the
cotporntlon rcpresentutlies that nre press
ing th'dr attentions en It for favors of that
character
There Is another order promulgated by
the War Department, however, that has
not met with such consideration by the two
district appeal boards of this city. The
new regulations require the lists of regis
trants to be ninde up In alphabetical order.
Heretofore they havo been listed accord
ing to tho sequence of their serial num
bers. District Appeal Boaid No. 1 has abso
lutely declined to carry out this order, and
District Appeal Hoard No. 2 tried to follow
tho Instruction", but nftcr It had compiled
all but five of the local boards within Us
Jurisdiction It gave It up as i"i impossible
piece of work.
The obstacle In the way of carrying out
tho plan arises from the very bad Inscrip
tion In many cases of the legistratlon
clerks, so that the name of the registrant
la almost Impossible to decipher. In ono
or two Instances the clerical force of Dis
trict Appeal lloaid No. 2 has tried to trace
the registrant by name und has failed to
discover any record theicof, but upon
looking for that person's card on the num
ber list lnund that tho name was spelled
different from that which was supposed.
District Appeal Hoard No. 2 Is resting
on Its oars just nt pit-sent, for It Is con
sidering only the comparatively few cases
that come to It from day to day, nil of
the back appeals and claims having been
cleaned up to dale All of the appeals
to the Provost Marshal ileneral from local
board discharges on grounds of dependency
presented by the (jovernment attorneys ut
lached to those boards have been returned
to the hoaids without change, In accord
ance with orders Just received from Wash
ington. It has been found unnecessary to ieIev
the discharge cases. Inasmuch as the new
regulations cover the ground by requiring
all prisons who have recoiled discharges
of any nature to fill out the questionnaire
and place them subject lo calf us If they
hud never been exempted.

AUSTRIAN PREMIER '
' FOR LIBERAL PEACE
Ready to Make Pact Without
"Territorial or Economic
Violations"
KUEHLMANN RAPS ALLIES
Foreign Secretary Denies Germany
Would Enter Conference "With
Large Aims"
LONDON, Dec. 1.
Austria Is prepared to negotiate a general
Peace without "territorial or economic vio
lations." Premier Keldler told tho Austrian
Parliament, according to a Central News
dispatch from Amsterdam today.
The dispatch quoted Vienna advices, stat
ing the Premier had made this announce
ment in a speech detailing how Austria" was
conducting negotiations with Ilursla "In a
conciliatory spirit."
, . UnilLIN, Dec. 1.
It 13 nbsurd to imagine that Germany
will enter the pence conference with large
alms," declared Herman Porelgn Secretary
Kuehlmann In n Itelchstag speech today.

dltlons, the way is simple but the Kntcnte

BRITISH FEAR LANSDOWNE
VIEWS WILL MISLEAD U. S.
, , , LONDON. Dec. I.
Lngland fervently hopes America Is not
mlMed by the Marquis of Lansdowne's let
ter. Apprehension lest the lew point taken
by the statesman he mlstaklngly attributed
as that of a majority of lOngllshmen was
forecast In the editorlnl comment today. '
Publication of Lansdowne's views has
created a bitter whirlwind of dispute. Sup
porters pro and con are both quoting Presi
dent Wilson freely In support of and against
the former Foreign Secretary's ylews. The
antl'Lansdownc adherents Insist the princi
ples enumerated are utterly opposed to the
"IVIIsonlan viewpoint, while supporters of
the "no knockout" Idea declare It Is tho es
sence of the American President's policies.
Most of the press agreed with Honar Law
that publication of tho letter was a "na
tional misfortune."
Honar Law's speech denouncing the L-ins-downc
letter was prominently displayed
by all newspapers, particular emphasis
being laid on the Chancellor of the Kx
chequer's declaration :
"The letter Is based upon an assumption
and a strange assumption that because
Hermans say they arc -ready to bine n
pact of nations and to talk about dis
armament, therefore pea"se Is possible.
"We nre (old there has been a great
change In German feeling. I helleic there
has grown up a considerable discontent
In Germany with the present system, hut
what Is Its basis? It Is a feeding that the
military system Is not giving expected re
sults." Honnrd Law continued emphasizing that
peace now would merely mean contlnutance
In power In Germany of the men who were
responsible for the war; would mean that
any pact of nations would be useless since
there would be" no force to punish violators
6f the agreement, and that a decisive mili
tary victory for the Allies, plus tho grow
ing sentiment of discontent in Germany,
was the only way In which the war coulr
bo ended.
The livening News, one of the Northcllffo
papers, dubbed Lnnsdowne the "Marquis
of Hands lTp," and bitterly denourced his
message. The Globe referred to the mar
quis's pronunci unento as a Klab in the
back, comparing him to Calllnux In France.
