Camden's heroes camp homo tndny,
to n welcome which made up for months
of, hard fighting in the Argonnc sector
and at Verdun.
Veterans of the 114th Infantry, led
ny Colonel George Williams, nnd with
their decorated colors borne proudly
at the head of the line, marched through
Camden's streets this morning.
The men whom Camden turned out to
greet today arc the heroes of nearly a
score of battles. The 114th was one
of tho hardest hit of National flunrd
regiments, nnd comes homo covered with
glory.
In the line of march today were nine
soldiers, officers nnd enlisted men. who
i
ma
i
i ti
wore the Distinguished Service Cross

sleeping their long sleep with countless
other heroes, the regiment left nine
more of its best and brnvest, who have
been awarded the coveted D. S. C.
i' In recognition of their heroism.
Camden paid tribute to the hero dead.
nnd to the hundred of gassed nnd
', wounded men who remnined in Trance,
as well ns to the bojs who had the
. good fortune to win through nnd come
home for the splendid celebrntion today.
Touches of Pathos
There were touches of pathos ns well
ns of joy in tiie greetings the soldiers
,, got all along the lne. There were wet
l't eyes ns well ns smiting faces in the
jkij;rovd.' More than one woman who
I waved a flag to welcome a living boy
'win the. ranks wore on her nrin a black
band and gold star that told of another
son who had given his life to his eoun-
try.
1 The greeting was a joyous one, how-
1 ever, that the city of Camden f.avc its
soldiers. And it was ns jojously re
turned. Indeed, all Jersey welcomed
back the boys of the 114th.
'Hie men of the 114th came from all
over New Jersey, with a strong nucleus
of soldiers from the old Third National
Guard Regiment of Canidch. North
ami south Jersey towns sent delegations
to welcome the soldiers home. The may
ors of a score of municipalities up nnd

"As I talk to men nnd women all
oer the country." she 'said. "I am
afraid the thought is that Philadelphia
lias the most corrupt city government
in the nation. Some time ngo jou had
a leform major nud he had difficulties.
He passed the city government on to
the present major and I suppose he is
a good man is some ways.
"Ki lends, however, hne failed to do
their part. 'They, have lived too Jong
within the confines of our own society.
We must live in the world it we would
muko it beMer.
(Jo to Major, She Sajs
"I want you men to take nn ntlve
part in politics and not stand outside
and criticise. Form a body of jour men
nnd women nnd go to the Major and
tell him J oil nre dissatisfied with the
city government. He has a great deal
of God's spirit in liiur. I am sure.
" ''I want the city of Philadelphia to
be pointed to as u pme city and for
men to deny themselves and go into
public positions for the good of the
i.itv.
"I do not nsk that men enter into
political positions as they nre now, but
as good men with the spirit of God iu
their hearts.
"The men of Philadelphia need the
men of the state to help them purify
the city nnd to get men here whom they
might iiave. Huve faith and don't keep
out of these harmful .and hateful things.
These things can be turned upside down
by spiritual men and womcu.

"We must have the faith of David,
and the great Goliath of your city will
be slain. , , ,
"You have a good Governor and he is
a good Krleud."
Mrs. Itoblnson prefaced her remarks
with the statement that she had prajed
i, atinntjnii "inspired by the
goodness of William Penn," and felt
that she must try 10 msi-- --.

Bj the Associated Press
Itrrlln. May 1.1. "Kven If important
changes are not made by the negotia
tions begun at Versailles there remains
no choice but to bow to compulsion nnd
sign the treaty." says nn appeal of
the central committee, of the Inde
pendent Socialist party, in the party
organ, Die I'rieheit, jesterdny.
"Not signing." continues the ap
peal, "means the retention of our pris
oners of war, the occupation of our
inw material districts, the tightening
of the bloekndc, unemployment, hun
ger and death iu mnsses. It is thf
I proletariat that would suiter the most
terribly from the consequences.
"Peace, as hard nnd ns oppressive
as it may be, is n necessary assumption
for the possibility of rebuilding our
social and economic life in the spirit of
the revolutionary proletariat."
The appeal is prefneed by n denuncia
tion of the severity of the peace terms.
It concludes with a demand thnt the
workmen of nil countries unite against
capitalism for a world revolution. ,
