o
Nancy Wynne Sties Many Going Churchtvard Today She Tells
of the Logan-Wether ill Connections Historical
Society to Have Reception
ALL the social dolug are put nsido for
today nud there nro no pnrtlos. Most
persons' thoughts are churchward. Good
Friday two years ago our country entered
Into tho great world war. Though the date
was not the same, the day was, nnd it added
not n little to the solemnity of that declara
tion. One felt that wo had gone Into'a re
ligious war,' in that we were fighting for
tight, for justice and against a system which
was'cnslavlrjg men. And we did not go luto
it .in .vain, as time has proved. It only re
mains for tho peace negotiations to be
ratified nud tho horror of tho last five years
will go down Into history, though, alasl its
traces' will be found for ninny a day and
generation. But tho whole world will be
better for tho suffering of these years. It's
always n wonderful' study to watch the
good that Invariably comes from palu. It
makes one realize that life is worth living.
I never saw so many people in the street,
all Wending their way toward Holy Trinity
or St. Jamcs'B or St. Clement's or St. Pat
rick's or St. John's or St. Mark's nud most
of tho other Episcopal nnd Catholic churches,
where tho Three Hours' services arc being
held. AH the Ited. Cross auxiliaries und
various other centers nro closed up for
today.
SPEAKING of lied Cross, have you scon
tho darling little black sateen frocks tho
women arc making now in the workrooms
for the wco refugees? I wondered m self
why they arc fashioned of black, but you see
the dirt docs not show as much and the
black frock can therefor be worn longer
nnd docs not require such frequent washings.
Frequent washing wears things out. you
know. They make the cutest little blouses
nnd knickerbockers, too, for the little boys.
Can't you sec tho little lambs In their cun
ning clothes?
The Independence Square Auxiliary took
n number of wounded men to Independence
Hall In nutos yesterday, nnd then out to
the Philadelphia Cricket Club for tea.
IHBAtl Deborah Logan is coining out next
Tpnr. Tt'n milto some time since there
was a debutante In the VYcthorlll family, so
we may expect much cutcrtninlng for this
young bud. She is the daughter of Mr. nud
Mrs. Itobert Hestelrigg Logan. Mrs. Logan
was Sara AVetherill, n daughter of Mr,, and
Mrs. Samuel Price AVetherill and sister of
Mrs. W. Yorko Stevenson, Mrs. t Shillnrd
Smith nnd Mrs. Samuel Henderson. The
Lognns live in Eddlngton moRt of the time.
Their place is called "Snrobia," I suppose
from u combination of the first sllables of
their two names, Sara and Itobert.
Deborah Lognu looks very much like the
WetheriH side of the fnmily, I blioultl say.
She is not very tall, neither is sho small,
however, nnd she has n wonderful thick
mop of curly, rather light brown hnir. The
date for her tea 1ms not been decided upon
as yet, but that there will be n ball in her
honor, given by her grandparents, ,ii not to
be doubted.
THOSE who will receive nt this week's
reception for enlisted men nt the His

gestion nbout automobiles was successful,
and a number of wounded men went to tho
reception Inst week in enrs lent by Mrs.
George AV. Childs Drcxel nnd Mis.i Mary E.
Slnnott. People arc so generous with their
cars, I think, don't you? As soon ns they
find out where the loan of tneir car would
be gratefully received they send it right
along. Mrs. Henry Pcmberton, Jr., Mrs.
Harrison S. Morris, Mrs. J. Bertram Lip
pincott, Miss Hannah Fox, Miss Anna J.
Lewis, Mrs. Herbert Howe. Mrs. William
E. Goodman, Miss Hannnli Lewis Scott and
Mrs. David E. Williams were the patron

interesting address on Benjamin Franklin,
including some new data. Tho siug was led
by Mr. Lewis J. Howell.
DO YOU remember a few weeks ago, or
maybe months ago, n few, nnjliow, I
told you about n certain somebody who was
trying to spell "similar," and insisted on
it'rhyming with "familinr ? Well, jestcr
day she was ut it again writing. I hap
pened to be in the same room with her, and
sho turned to me with n pleasant, conversa
tional smile. "Von know," she remarked,
"I never spell 'similar' wrong any more
sinco we hnd that discussion about it."
"How nice," I replied, just ns conversa
tionally; "how 110 jou spell it?" "Why,
s-i-m-l-l-i-n-r," she answered in a go-to-tho-head-of-the-class
tone. That kind of
thing is really incurable, jou know.

TEACHERS LOSE BONUS
BUT WIN PAY INCREASE
Change Puts No Extra Dollars Into
Their Pockets, However,
and Some May Quit
Teachers of the Gloucester City public
schools have realized that they hne only
been granted the snme increase in salary as
was first proided by the school board for
the new term. It is likely that all nf the
grade teachers will apply fur reappointment
when the board imVts on Slay 5, because
the hoard hns specified that they must do so
by thut time, with the exception of five of
the six high school teachers.
The high school teachers say that they
want $200 incrcas" or they will resign, nnd
as the five nrc nonresident teachers it is
likely that they will carry out their threat,
so this means thnt only one of the present
high school staff will remain in the school
next term.
The school board jesterdrty notified the
teachers that the must file their application
for reappointment before the next regular
meeting, and they must also sign contracts
the same as this jear.
Drop Bonus, Raise Salaries
The school board, when it prepared its
budget iu February, provided an increase
of $5 per month for each teacher and also a
bonus of $50 for each one thut teaches out
the entire term. When a meeting was held
Wednesday night the hoard decided to wipe
out the bonus nnd give each teacher n
strnight increase of Sit) per mouth. The
bonus was placed in ns salary, so thjs means
that the teachers will receive just wlmt the
hoard hud provided for, with the exception
of three teachers of the lower grade, who
will receive u salary of $70 for the new term,
an increase of $15, as under .1 new net the
minimum sulnr. 'rom now en for Jersey
school teachers is $700 per ,enr. They are
Miss Surah Grace, Miss Dorothy Sajres and
Sliss ICntlii'.Mi Carson.
The higher grndc teachers nrc plensed that
the maximum salary has been increased to
$1050, nnd they will endeavor to have it
raised to S1200. Sliss Helen Chcesman and
Miss 12. Louisa Powell, who took the lead
ing part in the fight for jnore salary, said
today t,hat the teachers will be in on time
next jear with their petition for more sal
ary, so thnt the school board will not have
n chance to say that they nrc too late.
The janitors, who assisted the teachers
and also signed their applications for more
money, also asked for an increase in salary,
but the school hoard directors turned a deaf
ear and politely lefused their request.
An effort uufy he made to have the school
board grant n substantial increase in salary
to George Cressman, teacher of mnthematics
and science, nd make him principal nf the
high bchool building becnuse of the work he
lias done this year.

Sirs. AV. S. SInreh in reviewing the poetry

on the part of the compiler in that the poems
comprising his volume for 1018 have been

LURE OF WESTERN SPORT
CLAIMS EASTERN RACES
"Y" Workers Have Taught Yank
Games to Soldiers Who
Knew No Play
One of the most potent "long distance"
influences exerted by the war on the nrlous
peoples of the earth is that of American
athletics, transmitted through the medium
of the Y. SI. C. A', and the Fojers du Kold.it
to the hundreds of thousands of colonial
troops and laborers who served with the
Allies, according to nrmy and navy officer
returning from overseas.
About the time Hint the Fnited States en
teied the war, the Y. SI. C. A. athletic work
was extended to the camps of most of these
"native" troops, and they were taught tho
art of creating their own diversion and rec
reation through American games.
The influeuce of this new recreational
stimulation upon these serious minded na
tives, officials deqlarcd, is going to effect a
far more tremendous result upon the lives
of their fellow countrjmen when they re
turn from home than it lias effected in
France. The individuality and self confi
dence that these games have taught the
average player will be transmitted to others
at home and so probably in time become a
factor in the national life.
During the great struggle, the French
drew upon nbout twenty of her colonial
races, and Great Britain on ns many more.
It was a motley million, from lands thnt
fringe the seven sens.
Few of these people had ever known what
play was before it came to them out of thu
wnr. But they took to sport readily, though
at first awkwardly.
For instance, nt first, 10,000 French
African coloninls were perfectly happy to
get out on a huge field and kick one single
football, nnd each other's shins, ail the
morning. Gradually, however, they became
more discriminating nnd began to learn the
various games.
Now American sports bid fair to emanci
pate millions of Orientals from the lethargy
that they have been sunk into for hundieds
and thousands of years.

CANT GET SERVANTS
FOR WAYNE HOMES
Big Problom Is to Adjust tho Family
to tho Maid, Women
Say
In Wajue, Pn.. It is no longer a ques
tion of trying to find n maid to suit the fam
ilythe problem is to adjust the family to
suit the maid.
Almost every Inducement hns been offered
to attract domestic servants to tho beauti
ful residential suburb. But there is still
a dearth of maids, and housewives arc up in
arms.
As n last ieort two women, each with n
fnmily of live children, living u block npart,
decided to club together and sec if they
couldn't persuade two sisters or chums to
come woik for them. So they advertised for
two white women for looking and downstairs
work, wages to be $10 n week, carfare on
day off nnd children to be kept out of the
kitchen. Two sisters have promised to conic
tomorrow to investigate the would-be mis
tresses. "Where there nrc children in the family
it is almost impossible to get maids," said
Sirs, J. I Cronan. of W Lancaster ave
nue. "I thought I had air Irish girl last
week. She railed nic over the phone and
asked nbout the pint e. I explained It in de
tail and she decided to try it. Then she hap
pened to think to ask about children. 1 told
her I hod live.
" 'Good-night:' she said, 'I wouldn't take
the place as a gift !' And she rang off.
"And yet the maids have nothing to do
with the children. Neither do they have
any laundry woik or heavy cleaning. Slost
of the women in Wnjno have their clothes
done by outside laundresses and have clean
ers to come in once a week to clean the
house., Lnundi esses, too, nre getting inde
pendent. Thej now charge from $2 to S2..0
a day, nnd they call from ! a. pi. to S p. m.
a dn.v. They cat two meals with jou be
sides." Sirs. W. T. Bruknker, of l.TJ West Wayne
nvenue, is another Wnjne resident who de
cries the servant problem.
"I believe there would be a good chnncc
here for n community kitchen," she said.
"Goodness knows tliere are n lot of us who
would be thnnkful for one if some efficient
person would start it. It takes most of our
time to hunt servants."
SAYS. GERMANS PLAN
WAR OF RETALIATION
Chaplain Declares They Have Not
Lost Love for Kaiser and Feel
No Shame for Crimes
Thcte is no lcpcutniiec in (ieiuianj, ac
cording to Chaplain Edward SI. .Icfterjs,
Who is home to preach the Easter senium in
old St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal Church,
of which lie is lector, after twenty-three
months of service with the British army in
France and the Amriicnii Army of Occupa
tion in Germany.
"I have talked with many Germans," he
snid, "and I must say they are in no way
repentant for the part they have taken in
the wnr. They were very fiank iu telling me
they will 'come back' again in ten jenrs
if the terms of the Peace Conference do not
suit Ihciii.
"They have the same reverence for the
Kaiser thej iilwajs hud. and he seems to he
as popular in Germany us ever. There is
no sorrow for I'elgiuui nnd no excuse for
defeat. ecept a shortage of niiiniunition
nnd the troops, contending that theirs was a
war of the defensive.
"The Germans haven't the slightest hesi
tation in asking that American tumps bo
sent to the interior to quell distuihances.
They are the worst lot of winners I ever
talked with. The whine for everjtliiug.
Kor this reason the soldiers of the army of
occupation will i.ever be influenced bj them.
The soldiers are thoroughly disgusted with
their .vellowness."
Chaplain Jeffcrjs. who is still in the serv
ice of the I'nited States, left this citj on
Slay 111, 1017, and sailed with the medhal
unit of the 1'ennsjlv.inia Hospital. During

where conditions nrc iimdc comfortable for

To s:iy tho situntion is serious is puttini:
it mildly. A condition of unrest prevails

Plea for Boys Over Here
To Ihr Editor of thr llrrnlna Public I.rdgrr:
Sir 1 huve been rending the letter of Mr.
tleorge 1'. White, Cump Alexander, New
port News. Vn., published April 10, in jour
most viihtcd paper, nbout giving the boys of
the Iron Division, Twenty-eighth Division,
n grand never-to-be-forgotten reception and
welcome home some time in the near future;
also giving of a medal. Tliere is nothing
under the sun too much to give to these
bojs. Hut don't forget the bojs who weie
ready nnd willing to go "over there," but
were stopped lij the signing of the armistice.
TheM bojs should he (onsideied just ns
much as the boys who were iu luck. They
should be taken along with Uic oversea bojs,
bo given a medal nnd participate to the full
est degree iu every pait of the receiving
of the welcome home to the grand Twenty
eighth Iron Division.
1'lense do something for these bojs. Your
paper is known all over the I'. S. A. for
starting things going nnd winding up with
the goods, now here is a splendid oppoitifUitj
to do a good big lot of good for a buuih of
real gooil bojs.
I nut tho commander of Admiral .lames M.
Torsjth (inrrisnii, No. II,", Army and Navy
I'nion, l". S. A., nnd every comrade in my
gairisou is a veteran in some of the wars,
Mexico to the present wnr. inclusive. They
have nil done valiant service for our I'nele
Sam, and I know that I would feel very
intii h pleased to see the bojs of my garrison
who were kept in some camp honored with
being invited to participate with the bojs
of the Tvvcntj -eighth Iron Division.
t'ndcrstand me, I do not want to detract
one iotn from the Iron Division. (live them
nil the honors high up to the sky. I am like
a father looking after his kids, and my coni
mdes who weie in this war nt camps should
be given some consideration.

As to Open Conferences
7'n Ihr l'.ilitnr of Ihr i:vfnino Public Ledger:
Sir Should the l'eace t'onfereiiee nt l'aris
have been open to the public? There lias
been much criticism hv thoughtless vvriteis
to the effect that the proceedings have been
held behind closed doois; that this is wrong
and thut the public is entitled to know all
that takes place theie. What practical gooil
to our country would Mint subserve? In
the I'nited States the political opponents of
President Wilson prelenil to believe that the
President needs watching and therefore they
have made arrangements to have certain
congressmen, political spies ami informers
go to Paris and tij to timl out all that is
possible that can be used against the Presi
dent. 1 wish them joj in their delightful,
honorable ami patriotic ciiiplnj incut. If
what they hear should be favorable to the
President will thej lepoit that also, or are
they only to icport what can he made use of
to rob the President of the honor he de
serves? Will not some one interested tell the public
what practical benefit the public enn derive
from the discussion-. Unit maj take place
before the l'eace ("onfcrcnic? Why should
the coiiferem e be open to the public?
It it were, then il would be open nlso to the
. eiiem.v. and would give tlieni a line oppor
ttinitj to sow discoid anil suspicion in the
lauks of the icpicscntiitiics of the Allies.
The whole woild is hoping and prajing
for the speedy settlement of the terms of
peine so that norma! conditions may be ic
sinned as cailv as posible. The American
public should seive notice upon Ceoige
Wharton Pepper ami his pet league, and
upon that tubal of political senators that
have leagued to oppose the President, that
they have no patience with their obstructive,
political tactics ami that the public temper
is such that it will not stand for any politics
in the consideration of the terms of peace,
when they nrc submitted for acceptance to
the public. IIAKItV C. C'OPi:.
