PEACE POLICY TOPIC OF WOMEN FRIENDS Message From London Society on After-War Issues Dis cussed at Meeting "If people nre comfortablo and happy. In healthful surroundings and congenial environment, they can do their best work," says Miss Ethel Cummlngs, who has been put In charge of the housing- of women workers for tho Emer gency Fleet Corporation, 110 North Broad street. One week ago this housing department started with one desk. Today It employs forty-five stenographers, and the work Is humming along. Tiansfer of the Fleet Corporation's main offices from Washington to Phila delphia quarters will begin .May 18. "We expect to move a division a day until all nre comfortably quartered here, an operation probably requiring twelve days to complete," said F W Kldd. general supervisor of housing, "We have had a large number of places offered us as homes for our women emplojes, but not nearly enough." Miss Cummlngs said that at least 2000 rooms will be needed for oung women workers. "We hope the people of Phila delphia will open their homes to these girls," she continued. "The work thoy are doing for the Government will be done more efficiently if they are properly housed and happy." . and Lottie The need for a constructive peace pol icy after the war was the message of Friends of London sent to the Yearly Meeting of the Philadelphia Friends, at Fifteenth and Itace streets today. "We can evade the Issue no longer," ran the message read before the woman's Bectlon of the meeting. "All out thoughts and acts must be fitted to the world's present needs. Seas no longer separate English from the Amer ican Friends. We need not only serv ice but Inspired service, not only al leviation but healing." the message said, English and American flags hung side by side In front of the meeting house, where the gretlng was written. Janet Payne Whitney, a Friend from London, emphasized the changed attitude of the Friends to the war. "Early In the war." she said, "we emphasized the negative Bide. Then the query arose, What are (he causes of the war?" We must throw more weight on the con structive side, look Into the causes of our present woes.

He has also asked that the city begin temporary repairs at once Tho present drawbridge Is badly In need of repair The admiral Indicated that the Kmergency Kleet Corporation would stand for no delay on the new bridge. The new double-track trolley line lead Ing to the Hog Island gates that Is being laid by the Philadelphia Rail ways Company nt the Instance of the Fleet Corporation will lead over the Penrose Perry bridge. The present bridge, built In 1877, Is not strong enough to bear more than one loaded trolley on the draw span at one time.

To enable the present bridge to bear Its full share of tho transportation bur den Admiral Bo.vlcs has roruiested Maor Smith to establish traffic regu lations which will exclude many vehicles from using the bridge. Admiral Bowles has alo requested that the draw be closed to vessels be tween 6 and 7 o'clock In the morning and 5 and 6 o'clock In the evening, so traffic to the shlpjard may be unin terrupted during the rush hours. He also wants vessels ordered to have their smokestacks and flags-staffs hinged, so they can pass under the bridge. The question of establishing the bridge regulations will be determined next Fri day at 2 o'clock, when a hearing will be conducted by L. D.
