"Slxty-ono Phlladelphlans are In
eluded In tho ranks of the famous
"Phantom Regiment" nnd other units
'which haa arrived at Newport News
aboard tho transport Nanscmond from
-overseas.
I More than 6000 veterans of foreltrn
jeervlco arrived on the transport, most
of them being "three stripers." men
whose three cold chevrons attested eigh
teen months abroad against the Ger
mans. Tho "Phantom Regiment" became
known from end to end of the American
.lines. Attached to no division. It was
here today and Bono tomorrow, con
stantly being moed to another spot
where tho valor of the men would be
mosruseful In the fighting.
The regiment went abroad as the Seventy-fourth
Knglneors, but its uncanny
'ability of turning up nt a point of stress
at Just the opportune moment earned Its
nickname.
Other units In which Plilladclphlans'
returned on the ship were parts of the
Fifty-third Coast Artillery and the Klf-ty-slxth
Hnglneors. Several Philadel
phia casuals unattached to any particu
lar unit also arrlNed. The men will be
quartered at Newport News for a tew
days and then sent to the demobiliza
tion camp nearest their homes.
lleroen (Hi en lloal Welcome
The men were given a royal wplcome
at the landing, the reception eclipsing
any yet tendered to returning heroes at
the southern port. Seeral bands wero
In attendance. The men were glen a
chance to speak to welcoming rvlatUes
waiting on tho pier and seeral touching
reunions were witnessed by thousand.
An anxious mother from New York
and a wife with the baby whom the
father had never seen were among those
who greeted soldiers.

Bishop Shepard and his cabinet were
In session at conference headqunrters

One of the appointments lrtually
agreed upon Is that of tho Rev. W. liirl

who was graduated from Drew Sem
inary and for n time served at Oceanic,
has been nt Belmar for flc cars. The
Rev. George P Johnson, the present
pastor nt tho Camden church. Is not In

Utihop on Amertcn's Opportunity
The league of nations may make the
world a decent place In which to live,
but it cannot mako a decent people to
live In the world : It will not be the
means of making a new world. Bishop
Shepard declared last night In his lec
ture before the conference delegates on
"The Christian Destiny of America "
"The league of nations cannot spring
full-armed from the peace table," he
eaid, "but must be allowed to grow .
must be discussed." While the league
will be only an opportunity, not an end.
something great must come of It. he

LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1919
Indicate some of tho things that nre
stirring under coer.
Harmony between the Tenrose and
Vare factions was rent asunder yester
day over the row In tho House elections
committee, and now the legislative
league, an organization of slxty.seven
ilouso members from rural districts,
threatens to throw n monkey-wrench
Into the harmony machinery and wreck
It completely.
Unless the country members get the
recognition which they demand, legis
lators from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
other municipalities are going to have
a path of thoniB to travel,
Members of Ihe league held a dinner
last night In the Penn-Harls Hotel and
pledged anew their fealty to the or
ganization. Leagues have como and
gono In last Legislatures, but tlie pres
ent one, with some of tho ablest mem
bers In the House directing Its dtstlny,
threatens to keep things moving for
somo time to come.
Dinner rioned Affair
The dinner last night was a closed
affair, but If the talk given out after
ward by league membersils an Indica
tion of what they have In mind from
now on a strong nnd well-organized
third faction In the House is going to
play both ends nnd the middle against
the rival Penrose and Vare factions.
"There Is no definite thought an yet
of organizing a third party In thc state,"
was the rather significant utterance of
Robert L, Wallace, of New Castle, rec
ognized floor leader of tho lenguo, "hut
the country members hae decided they
must stand together.
"The league le not 'dry' nor 'yet,' al

The new legislation Is In the form

These Durable Soles Cut

"For use around cement plants and
similar places where rough materials
grind down soles quickly, I recommend
Neolin Soles. They resist wear sur
prisingly. After working around the
clinker department long enough to
wear out two pairs of ordinary soles,
my Neolin Soles are still as good aj
new," writes A. F. Miller, superintend
ent of The Peninsular Portland Cement
Company plant in Jackson. Michigan.
It is remarkible how tough and dur
able Neelin Soles are: They are made,
so by Science comfortable and water
nroof, too. They come on new shoes
in many styles for men, women, and
children, and are available everywhere
for re-soling. Wear them, and cut
your shoe bills down.
Neolin Soles are made by The Govl

who also make Wingfoot Heels, guar
anteed to outwear all other heels.

sentatives of the unions will go along
to, Harrlsburg to urgo tho passage of
the measure,
Advocates' of tho blli aro prepared
to show that working more than eight
hours a day Imposes a severe physical
handicap on a woman, and, likewise,
cuts down her Industrial efficiency. To
bear out this argument they have pre
pared statistics furnished by states
whero nn eight-hour law for women al
ready Is In force, notably California.
The Women's Trado Union Leaguo has
letters from employe In some of thesn
states setting forth the advantages of
the elght-hour law from the employers

prominent Philadelphia lawyer will ac
company the delegation to speak un tho
legal aspects of the bill. Tho eight-hour
principle already has been declared con
