FOR OLD 2D IN
Welcome Committee Goes to Dix
to Urge 108th Cun-
- ners to Parade
j I
TROOPS FEARED LONG HIKE
While members of Ihe 108th Field
Artillery, formerly Ihe old Second
Regiment, arc being rushed thiough the
sanitation process nt Camp Dix today,
Philadelphia is planning to give them n
hearty welcome, providing thc men can
be induced to paiade.
The fact that the men who faced
Gcrmnn bullets aic icady to retreat
from the plaudits of .their own people
many of thehi declnring they were glad
they niisscd the parade in honor of the
other heroes of the Twenty-eighth
has not maried ip the slightest the en
thusiasm of those who desire to see
them as (hey maiched in France.
It was learned thattthe men were re
luctant to tnaich because of rumors that
were spread on shipboard which origi
nated in St. Nazzairrc to the effect that
they were to march from Snyder avenue
to North Philadelphia station with full
equipment a sixtj -two-pound pack,
rifles, helmets and other articles.
Colonel Francis I.eCoq, who com
manded them, said that when news was
icecived that they had missed the pa
rade the cheering was deafening. "They
were tickled lo death," lie said.
It is believed that misapprehension
may be overcome aud lepresentatives
of thc welcome home committee nre in
camp todaj trying to get the men to
march in this city as s0nn its they are
demobilised.
Colonel William It. Scott, commander
of the ,lohu Wanamakcr Commercial
institute Cadet Corps, from wliicb was
lecruited liO per cent of the personnel
of Battery A, is nl?o in Camp Dix
to make whatever pieliminnry arrange
ments possible for n big icceptiou to
be tendered flic men nt the Wanamakcr
store, providing they can be brought
here.
Men Get Packages
Mr. Scott took with him to Dix pack
ages for the men, which it was impos
sible to distlibute to them when they
landed at Sn.vder avenue pier late es
tcrduy afternoon.
Brigadier General William G. Price,
who commanded the Fiftj -third Artil
lery Brigade, is anxious tn have bis
men march here, nnd .Inmes E. Ecnnoii,
chairman of the well nine homo com
mittee of Select Council, said that every
effort is being iiihcIc today to induce
them to come.
The greatest throng of people that
have jet giected n returning tioopship
in this city was on hand yesterday
when the boat docked. Fully -10,000
persons lined the piers and railroad
tracks along the waterfront waiting for
n glimpse of their loved ones.
MRny of the men and women had
been waiting and hoping for four days,
interspersing the wear bouts with song
uucA dance 011 Race street pier until the
definite time of arrival was announced.
One incident marred the arrival of
the essel when more than 100 anxious
and happy relatives found an unlocked
gate and pushed thiough into the en
closure surrounding the pier nt Siidcr
avenue.

Senator-elect Walter K, Edge has
ideas about business In government.
He gave those ideas' to Xcw Jersey
during two and a half years as its gov
ernor. Now ho has some business Ideas
for the government nt Washington,
where lie 'takes his oath as Jersey's
junior senator ou Monday.
He described himself as 'Trlvale
Citizen" Kdge yesterday as he talked of
the past accomplishments nuc! future
plans of "Public Official" Kdge. He
had just turned the governorship ot New
Jersey to William N. Ttunyon, president
of the Senate, now acting governor. He
had three days ahead of playing plain
citizen, nnd he said he liked the breath
ing spell.
j'l feel that I have completed my
program in Xcw Jersey," he said. "I
could do little more than detail work iu
that program if I were to complete
my term. I am quite satisfied with
i.iii.s . iinn nun- iw vu ,ii,uiinii nir
spie,ii,i co-operation of everybody.
..nnf T IP,. nUU in .In H.I.Ai.f.1. U n
"We hnve put business methods into
government here," he went on. "It is
interesting to note that six years ago,
when President Wilson was governor,
the state had a deficiency of $102,000.
Now there is a surplus of $0,000,000,
and we have spent an extra $3,000,000
this year. 'We have shown that a gov
ernment can be efficient..
For Business in Government
"Xo one can say just what he plans
to do when he is going to take his place
for the first time in such a venerable
nnd able body as the United States
Senate. I can speak only of my hopes.
"In n large way, T should say, my
hope is to carry forward my' ideas cjf
business-like government, which I feel
I have shown successful here at Tren
ton. "A government is n big business. It
should not be partisan. It should ns
soon as possible turn partisanship info
business efficiency. Government should
not only be business-like in itself, but
it should be the pnitner and helper of
private business not a, paternal, con
trolling organization. There mut be
legjilntion, of course, but let govern
ment ntteud to its business of govern
ment and allow private business to do
the things it'enn do so well.
"I am convinced that there is only
one way to reduce taxes, nnd that is to
1 educe the expense of government. Theio
is no way except that. And to reduce
expense the firt step is to cut out the
waste. Thai is why we must put iu a
budget on our national government, t
"nverybody knows how millioiiK have
been w listed. That is why the Uepub
Mean paity was returned to power in
Cougrcss. For that reason. I am not
pure that we need do much more inves
tigating of, war activities than is neces
sary to drive home 'the lesson of waste
in government. T for one eje not want
to 'see Congress foddling away all its
lime finding out what we all know too
well already. '
On Progressive Side
He laughed when he was asked
whether he could be classed among the
piogressive men of the Senate.
"I don't think I can be classed
among any shade of political opinion
except that I nm n Itepublicun. I did
not go out when the split civnie in 1012,
although my tendencies have always
been toward the more progressive side.
As to thc question of the appointment
of Senato'r Penrose to the chairmanship
of the finance committee. I will say that
no man is better fitted from experience
and acquaintance with thc subject than
he is after twenty years on the com-
mittee. The fight seems lo be letting
up on him, I understand."
He bec-nme silent when he was
asked what his stand would be when
the peace treaty came before the
Senate.
"I don't want to see America evade
any responsibilities for niding the na
tions of the world keep the peace," lie
said finally. "And yet I do not intend
to allow anything to take from us those
rights of development which have made
us great. We have gone into world
affairs pretty deeply and have, there
fore, obligations which cannot be
evaded, but the world will lose these
very things which make it possible for
us to bit nt the head of the world'
council tnble if our sovereignty is to
be hampered.
''It is 11 drrrim to say that war can
bo made impossible. Look at the Bal
kans. I bear there are eighteen little
wars on there now. But the whole
world is united nnd I know thiB coun
try is determined that something must
be done in the world to prevent nations
going hastily to war. There must be
a detcrcnt.
"But I fear that President Wilson,
with bis idealism, is too eager to shove
the United States into the melting pot
of the nations to make his dreams come
true. I will not stand for anything
which will make this country merely n
minority stockholder In nu interna
tional corporation. 'The lauguagc of
the treaty and the league covenant must
be clear, very clear in Its assurance
that we are not giving up too much in
fulfilling our just obligation to the
world."
When he was asked about the suff
rage amendment, he had another smile.
"Of course I am for it ns I have always
been. I nm to speak on it tonight at
linrfle," be went on. "But I don't
seem to be the determining .vote now.
There is quite a rush it seems to en
dorse suffrage among the new Senators
At one time, though, it was said my
vote would decide thc matter. But
there -is more than enoifgh to assure its
passage now.
'I(: should, be interesting to thc wo
rten of the country that they had to
wait to get n Bepubllcan Congress be
fore they could get the vote. They
know that, too, I feel, and it will haye
icfti'.CaliutioA'.
Delay incident to tho failure of th;
Department of Health nnd Charities tc
introduce In Councils this week an
ordinance providing $50,000 for the
abatement of nuisances may be over
come by the holding of an extra ses
sion of Councils in June.
One of the promises Director Krusen
made thc chtirchwomen who called on
him yesterdny to talk over thc Housing;
situation was to abate nuisances. To
get thc necessary ninds councllmanic
action will have to be speeded un,
Failure to introduce thc necessary leg
islation on Thursday was due to a mis'
understanding as to thc object of tho"
meeting. Primarily the councllmen got.
together to receive a favorable report
on the Jfl4,7c)0,000 loan and Director
Krusen did not understand that new
bills would be received as well.
Churchvvomen who attended the con
ference with Director Krusen toda;
planned to keep closely in touch wlti
the Department of Health and Chari
ties and to insist tipon the publication
of names ot property-owners who fall
to comply with thc sanitary laws. By
publication they hope to force the de
linquents into doing their duty by thei
tenants. 1
The church women, headed by Mrs.
William Abbey, intend to work fpr ft
revision of existing laws thnt permit;
landlords to collect rents for dilapidated
properties. These conditions, Mrs. Ab-,
bey told Director Krusen, must be
remedied, even if action has to be sought
at the hands of the next Legislature.
In the meantime, Director Krusen has
promised thc prosecution of landlords
and owners who fnil to comply with the
sanitary laws. He also has promised to
co-operntc with the Department of Pub
lic SVorks in the matter of obtaining
sewers for the hundreds of miles of
streets that are now without these facil
ities. BANKERS HELD FOR THEFT

bank, were held by thc police today in
connection with the alleged theft of
$13.".,000 in Liberty Bouds and other
securities from the William J. Critten
den brokerage and banking house of
Pittsburgh.
Neither would discuss the case and
the fact 'of their detention became
known only after they had been ques
tioned all night by private nnd city
detectives. Wortliington was then
taken to n cell in thc city detective bu
reau, but Kent was allowed to remain
iu the hotel.
The securities disappeared February
22. Ac-cording to detectives their trail
led to the office of Thomas AVatson, a
Chicago broker, and they are said 'to
have obtained from blm an affidavit
charging Wortliington with having ris
tnined him to dispose of the securities.
