This Is not the President's per

of consei vatlsm and radicalism. It Is
the constant task of the statesman who

usually possess authority, to yield some

In a similar way domestically Mr.
Wilson legnrds concessions to the growth
of the Socialistic Idea ns necessary.
Though he no doubt stops far short of
the British labor party In Its views
upon reconstruction, there Is a certain
general sympathy between him and Its
loaders.

Men who vote for a Democratic Con

vote against it are voting against m

Ifsue personal. He has abked his rwi.
sonal "supporters to give him the kind of
ongrees he wants. If a Democratic
Congress Is elected It will be a personal
victory for the President. It will tend
to Ills comfort In office for the next two
years' and stimulate his desire to suc

Opinions differ on the wisdom of the
President's letter. In general it follows
party lines, though some Democrats con
cede privately that tho President has
made a mistake and some Republicans
with equal privacy say that a Denvo-

SHOPS TO BE OPEN
2 HOURS LONGER
FOR CHRISTMAS
Fuel Administrator .Fixe 9
to
5:30 as Shopping Day,
Beginning Monday
Department stores nnd other retail
establishments In the center of the city
will be open from 9 a. m. to n.30 p. in.,
beginning Monday.
This modification In the coal-conscrva-tlon
hours was announced today by City
Fuel Administrator Lewis.
A statement Issued by Mr. Lewis
points out that 10 per cent of the retail
dealers In the shopping section have
declined to observe the short day nf
10 a. m. to 4 30 p. m, nnd are therefore
profiting at the expense of their moie
patriotic comjK'tltors.
Another statement, from K. L. Cole,
director of conservation. Federal fuel
admlnlstiallon, tles the new hours, and
sa they have been approved to accom
modate the public for Christmas shop
ping. The new ruling affects fluns In the
dlbtilct bounded by Lombard and Vine
streets and the two rivers.
'"JERSEY DEVIL' ABROAD
Seen by Thirty-three Pfiilndel
pliians After Visiting Camden
Thirty-three throbbing heads' nnd
alxty-slx wobbly legs mads a mournful
combination in cells of Philadelphia
police stations today as the result of
Camden debauches gathered while their
armies celebrated the fall of Influenza.
An army of thlrstles went "over the
river" to get their boose and then
brought their troubles back to Philadel
phia cops and magistrates. As there Is
no law preventing a foolish Phllndel-

Incidentally echoes of the bin- ileliimnii
may still resound here for manv of the
persevering pilgrims brought back
souvenirs of tho big occasion Iu the

Cells In some police stations resounded
all night with bacchanalian hannonv
and tired turnkevs were frequently called
on to chase Jersey devils, lavender lions
nnd indigo elephants from the cells
which were all too small for the ravings
of the rum roysterers..
Many of the liquor-laden were taken
home by friends with lighter loads
but thirty-three, beyond reclamation,
had to he toted to prison cells. Of those
'in the hopeless stage fifteen were taken
to the Kleventh'and Winter streets Bin
tlon. eleven to Fourth and flaee streets
two to City Hnll and the others to the

It fell to the lot of Magistrate CJrells

i upon which they are mounted were built
bv tho Standard Hteel Car Company.
which has a plant nt Butler, Pa and
the huge engines required to haul them
from point to point along the front aro
tho product of the Baldwin Lomcomo-
tlve wonts.
Operating Slnre September 10
The guns have been operating In
France since September 16, but this Is
the first time lt has been permitted to
give nny idea of their size. They, arc
all operated nnd manned by ofllcers and
men of the United' States navy, under
command of Hear Admiral Charles P.
Plunkett, formerly director of the of
fice ot gunnery exercises nnd engineer
ing performances.
They wore built originally for new bat
tle cruisers, .but changes In tho design
of the cruisers left then available for
ue on land.
To make them successful they must
he provided with a completely mobile
railway base, so that they might be
operated without being based at any
particular spot. For this reason it ws
necessary to provide railway cars to
mount the runs, and locomotives and
cars sufficient lo accommodate all the
accessories and operating personnel.
Kach mount had to have an Inde
pendent train. The equipment Included
locomotives, gurt cars, ammunition cars,
crane cars, construction, rand, timber,
berthing and kitchen, ruel, workshop and
staff radio cars, ca,rs for officers, bat
tery headquarters and miscellaneous
purpose cars.
High Angle Firing
Tlie locomotives built for this pur
nose were standard consolidation tvn...
I with four palrB of drivers. The weight
I of the engine alone Is approximately
clchty-lhreo tons, and the welcht of
the tender approximately fifty-six tons.
A form ot pit foundation is provided to
enable the guns to be fired at high
,angles of elevation. The removal of the
gun from over the pit formation and
Its restoration to complete mobility Is
but the work of ,a few minutes. The
entire mount Is "covered vvlth armor
plate, 1000 square feet of plate being
lequlred. By shifting the position of
the'gun mount on the tracks the gun
can be brought to bear on any desired
target and the proper angle of train
obtained.
When the first gun car was com
pleted last April, gun nnd mount were
I put through the severest tests and
showed aectratc tire at much further
ranges than had ever before been pos
sible with projectiles of such large size.
There was then only one proving
ground In the United Stntes, that at
Sandy Hook, X,' J., owned by the War
Department, capable of permitting
langlng at extreme distances, and this
nas, on request of Secretary Dunlels,
utilized for the proving tests
Hvery effort was made to secure
rapid construction, work being begun the
day the contracts' were awarded. The
Baldwin Locomotive Company built the
engines and the Standard Steel Car
Company thbox cars. The hugo steel
girders were' fabricated by The American
Bridge Company, some of the plates
being so large they could not be pro
duccd at Us t'encoyd woks and had to
be manufactured In Pittsburgh. Work
at all these plants proceeded night nnd
day, and the material and completed
mount nnd cars were produced In rec
ord lime. Many of the Important parts
of the gun mounts were made nt the
naval gun factoryr Washington, which
worked under forced draft and had Its
pnrt of the work done ahead of schedule
as did the other builders.

The first gun. mounted complete. left

UNITED STATES FUEL ADMINISTRATION '
FEDERAL FUEL ADMINISTRATOR FOR PENNSYLVANIA
. TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SOUTH BROAD STREET
PHILADELPHIA
To the Public :
To accommodate the public for the Christ
mas shopping, the Federal Fuel Administration
for Pennsylvania temporarily approves the
recommendation made by the representatives
of the retail interests including the five depart
ment stores and other firms in the district
bounded by the Schuylkill and Delaware
Rivers north of Lombard Street and south of
and including Vine Street
To co-ordinate the activities of the Fuel
Administration with the other arms of the
government, this Administration has obtained
the aid and advice of the Chairman of the,
National War Service Committee of the retail
dry goods and department stores, and the fore
going recommendations were arrived at in a
meeting presided over by him.
Effective Monday, October 28, 1918
The new schedule will be as follows: '
Stores Will Open at 9 A. M.
and Close at 5.30 P. M.
The transportation problem in Philadel
phia County and adjacent territory is. a very
serious one, and for that reason it will be neces
sary to transport employees from "their homos
to the stores and back again ovar a pariod of
one and onehalf hours in the morning arid a
similar period in the evening.' The Adnktistra
tion is not in a position to guarantee the unin
terrupted continuance of this schedule, as its
success is dependant upon two factors
(1) Available power supply, and (2) rigidity
with which the schedule for transportation of
employees is adhered to.

ACCOMODATION FOR 400
Down-and-Outers Have Found
Help and Food Here
Since 1911
Inasmuch Mission. Locust and War-
nock streets, where many human dere
lict have been aided lo begin life anew,
probably will be taken nvci1 by the
t'nlted States Government ,as a bar
racks for Jefferson College studente
studying for thn medical corps. Nego
tiations are under way for the acquire
ment of the building by the Oovern-
IVrlnll.s In nnnneellnn with tnklna nvarH j
of the building for military purposer
were dlscursed today by representatives
of the. Government and Bishop Bhlne
laiider, one of the sponsors for the mis
sion. - In view of Its many appointments, the
place will' be admirably fitted tor a
barracks.
Founded In 1911
The mission was founded In 1911 by
Oeorgo Long with a capital of twenty
seven cents. It soon became a popular '
meeting place for tho unfortunate, and. I
Long himself worked enthusiastically
nnd energetically tn making it a auc-4
ces.
Manj- philanthropic persons became
IntoiTKted In the work and three year
after the mission was founded, March 24.
1914, Its present four-tsory concrete?
building was finished. It has frequently
been the scene of happy gatherings of
the submerged tenth.
The buildings was erected through the
generosity of Mrs." George Woodward of
Gcrmantown, and Georgo Long, was
appointed superintendent, which post he
still holds. Bishop Ithlnelander took a,
great Interest in the mission from Its
beginning and officiated at the opening
of the new building.
Modern Appointments
The building has accommodations for
40(1 men and Is In accordance with the
latest Idea In sanitary appointments.
There nre bowling alleys and other
games nnd a playground on the roof
which could easily be used for an
open-ulr sleeping floor or hospital.
Thousands of down-and-outers have
received new start "In I'fe at the- mis
sion and on the big holidays of the year
lt has been the scene of fun nnd feast
ing for the fellows who struggle ffom
on meal to the next.
As Superintendent Long once said,
the mission offers "soup, soap, sleep and
salvation, also bread, bath, bed and
Bible."
It will retiulre little pi- no alteration,
it Is said, to transform the mission Into
a thoroughly adequate bJrracks.
