BACKS WAR AGAINST CAPITAL Socialist Tells Meeting Bolshevist Red Flag Will Conquer While the Philadelphia Soviet was holding an uneventful meeting In a second-door room of tho Russian audi torium, Klghth and Palrmount acnue, last nleht. Samuel Glazer was telling the Twentieth Ward Socialist Club, in session on the first floor that under the red flag of Bolshevism labor will Inau gurate a bitter war against capital in this country. Glazer Is a member of the Twentieth Wari Socialist Club, and when he was asked afterward If ho did not consider It dangerous thus verbally to flaunt tho red flag in this city, In view of police prohibition and fYio governmental edict agiinSt it, he replied: "We're all for the red flag, and we 11 win our victory under It." The club took no formal action' upon the uubject: neither did it censure nor rcpudlato Glazer's statement. The Soviet held virtually Jts entire session In tho Russian tongue, 'and de voted nearly the whole evening to de ccidlng whether it should admit to mem bership an Italian organization whose tepresentatlve said It was composed of "anarchists, syndicalists, International ists and I.

Advances In the tax rate from $1.30 to $2 35 per $100 real estate valuation has compelled the higher rent, managers of tho cstato as sert. The city Is trustee for tho estate, and the chargo of tenants that the estate Is trying to 'profiteer" was answered by James flaccalllon, controller of the estate for tho Board of City Trusts, by reviewing the tax situation. "In the Blankenburg administration the tax rate was $1.50," said Mr Mao cnlllon ".Vow with tho awful extrava gance of this administration the tax rate first jumped to $1.75, and now it is $L'33 In addition, thcy'vo gone and put up the real ostate assessments about $125,000 for next year. How can the estate run Its property with any profit under these conditions?" Maccalllon said that tho high cost of libor and the cost of various other sup plies to run the community were also reasons for the advance. "We thought of Increasing the rents somo time ago, but held off becauso of war conditions," he added William T Applebaugh, who Is in di rect charge of tho dwellings and whose olhco Is at 1808 Shunk street, assailed tho "rotten politics" that mado possible the Increase In rents. "It's the same old story, politics ver sus real estate," he said. "Real estate, of course, takes tho burden The big tax rate and tho big assessments are results of the poor financial policy of the administration, and this, combined with other costs of maintenance, made to pay the taxes of tha estate." FRANCE IS NOT GREEDY Dr. Ktiennc Unmet J?a8 Only Alsace Lorraine Is 'Wanted Dr. Etienne Burnet, of tho Pasteur Institute of Paris, gave a lecture on "Pasteur as a Representative of the Trench Scientific Spirit" nt a speclil meeting of the American Philosophical Society jesterday afternoon. In an Interview after the lecture Doc tor Burnet said there was one thing that ho had noticed in the press of this country which he would like to correct: namely, the tendency toward the belief that there is a powerful party In France bent on the annexation of German ter ritory. Ho said that this was not true; that tho only annexation that Prance contem plated was Alsace-Lorraine as it stood in 1814, If that might be called annexation .RAWKS&Ri nl StlkllSbUVKS Sterling Silverware Dressing Table Requisites Desk arid Library Accessories .
