niipt of the Gcrmnntown Improvement
Asoclntlon in the Pelbnni Club ball
room, Emlen and Cnrpentir streets.
Tlirca hundred men licnrd tbc Mayor
ami rbvc liim entbusiaKtic applause.
Mr. Moore referred to hi delerminu
tion to take and keep tlin polic out of
polities and to make, the force efficient
nnil honest, nnd then, with eye kin
lline. announced .that those jesponsi
ble for the administration of justice also
must prove themselves capable and
worthy. v
The Mnyor, who spoke at two other
mcrlinr Inst night, arrived nt the Pel
imiii Club ballroom about 0:30 o'clock.
His address was crisp and vigorous,
floelric with the man's Vitality nnd
ftornness of purpose.
Warns Urlbers, Illgli or Low
He led up to his reference to the
police and the administration of justice
by citing such past practices ns n poljee
ninn's acceptance of n bribe of $,t or
J10 from a violator of traffic rules.
"Surli things will not be tolerated,"
hr warned, "and not only the bribe
taker, but the bribe-giver will suffer,
"Practices such as these I will not
Ktand for. Pitiless publicity will be
the portion of. bribe-givers and bribe
takers, be they high or low."
The Major'a voice was threatening,
as it was, also, a moment later, when
he said there wotildbe no -"side door
entrances" in bis administration.
"We have found graft in many
places," he went on, "nnd wc realize
that wc have our work cut out for us.
Brides getting tbc police nnd firemen
nut of politics, wc are going to vee that
the contractors do the work they are
paid for. The "Republican party does
not need nor want the contractors.
"I know that there are many folks
unwilling to join the administration
Tho are wniting for the return of the
Aid order of things which they expect
Is coming. If they get what thev wuut,
It will be the fault of citizens of Phila
delphia in refusing to give their suppoij:
to us."
Interrupted by Applause
The Major's address was iuteirupted
frequently by bondclapping, and when
he had finished, applause bwept the big
room.
llesides Mayor Moore, the principal
speakers were Sheriff "Hob" Lamber
ton and George Hoth, assistant diicctur
of public welfare.
Colonel Sheldon Potter was the
toat master, nnd the Itev. Stewart P.
Keeling, rector of St. Peter's lOpUcopnl
Church. Germautowu, opened the dinner
with a prayer. He spoke nt the dose
of the program. Transit Director
Twining was present at the dinner.
In Introducing the first speaker.
Colonel Potter declared the club hhd
welcomed four Majors Veaer, Ttey
hmn. Hlankenburg and SmiJJi n simi
lar banquet!!, and thcr. ah":ed tnt every
man present .forget politics nnd his party
affiliations and combine m lnjnl and
hearty support of the new Mnyor.
Alt Must Hack Moore
"If wc don't get behind tiie new
Jlnyor and boost him." he said, "Phil
adelphia will be the talk of the whole
country for the next hundred years as
she has been for so long in the past,"
In the absence of Krnest h. Tustin.
director of public welfare, who is ill
at his home, the assistant director ad
dressed the diners.
"Let us Introduce In our municipal
government the spiilt nnd the quick
nnd efficient action that won the war,"
Mr. Roth said, pleading for more co-'
operation and less isolation of the vari
ous departments.
"Resides the three bureaus alreadv
established by this new department."
the assistant director nsserted, "which
nre those on houses of correction nnd
eharitlesyand the Hoaid of Recreation,
we are Contemplating and planning for
the fourth bureau, that of social
service,
"Under this bureau will come a dlt
vision for work among aliens, another
for work among negroes, a third a legal
aid division, another concerning itself
with women nnd children nnd still an
other to help provide accommodations
lor strangers in the city."
A Serious Problem
This last problem was declaied by
Mr. Roth to lie a very serious one.
The Y. W. O. A. nnd similar places,
necordlng to him, cannot accommodate
n great many of the young women who
come here to work, and the same ap
plies Co men. In regnid to the Legal
Aid Society the speaker suggested that
the University of Pennsylvania, through
Dean Mikell, of the law school, take
over the operation and management of
such nn institution, with students of
law holding sessions. The city's great
need for a children's institution was the
final plen of Mr. Roth.
Mr. Moore then got up, and In his
address he took occasion to compliment
(leimnntown on owning so fine a con
gressman ns George P. Harrow; who,
the Mnjor pointed out. had just re
ceived the appointment to the steering
committee in the House.
Sheriff Lninberton humorously gave
credit for his victory at the polls Inst
fnll to "n man iu Detroit who enabled
mc to get from one end of the city to
the other Henry Ford "
Mr. Lnmbcrton denounced the report
thnt he nnd Mayor Moore were not in
harmony.
"Mayor Moore stands -or exactly the
things I've tried to stand for, nnd I'm
for him 100 per cent," ho said.
"In the past I've had to criticise,
though I've been longing for the time
when I could do constructive work. I
now hne that opportunity."
Mr. Keeling urged that the world get
rid of cynicism and doubt and have n
renewed faith in human nature.
"The other spehkers have pleaded for
co-ordination, which is a very fine
thing." he declared, "but individuality
counts just as much, nnd no man wants
to become a "might-have-been, "
Moore Plans to
Crush the Vares
Contlunnl from Pare One
they can do is to hnrass and nnnoy
Mnyor Moore and his friends, but nt
tremendous cost.
It has, therefoie, finally been decided,
In view of the persistent opposition of
(ho Vnres, to eliminate the whole brood
of disloyal officeholders, Those who
prefer to take their stand beside Sen
ator Vaie and Senator Martin can abide
by the result. They must look to these
gentlemen for political pieferment nnd
future position.
Up to the present, the administration
has contented Itself with issuing warn
ings to those who desired to go along
with the administration to fall in.
Time has now come for action, Th!
places held by antl-Moorc men nre rc
nuiredfor loyal supporters of the new
administration. From now on a gen
eral mopping up will take place,
MAYOR WARNS

Old Bosses Will Have to
Reckon With the People,
He Asserts .
Major Moore rend a new declaration
of independence today n response to
Senntor David Martin's announcement
thnt he nnd Senntor David II. Lane
"would be with the Republican organi
zation." ' "If Mr. Martin and Mr. Liinc want
to join the Vnres in fighting the ad
ministration." said Major Moore, "it
is up In them. This administration
stands for clean politics as well as clean
government. ,
"If old leaders carinot forsake their
old idols, they tannot expect this ad
ministration" to be of much advantago
to them.
"The administration cannot accept
the rivalry of contractor bosses nor
can It stand for leadership that tol
erates the viclous practices that have
hitherto cursed our municipal life.
"If the old Bosses continue to In
terfere wilh the administration, they
will have to reckon with the people."
To Support Max Aaron
The Martin announcement which
brought forth Mayor Moore's reply was
a refusal to recognize the Mayor's lead
ership In Philadelphia. Senator Mar
tin said that he and Mr. Lane would
continue to be tojnl to the Republican
orgauizatlon and, in stating that he
would not seek rc-clectlon to the state
Senate, would support Max Aron, a
liBnc iicuienant in tnc xwenticm wnrti.
Mayor Moore and Sheriff Lamberton
have reached a definite agreement, It
was learned today, to combine all 'the
forces which won the mayoralty fight
for a 'continued battle against the
Vares.
Further, the agreement proposes that
the Vares shall not be recognized by
the Moore administration or by Sheriff
Lamberton, except in their capacity as
ward leaders.
On tliis basis the leaders of the In
dependents, Sheriff Lamberton and
George W. Coles, Chairman of the
Town Meeting party, and Thomas W.
Cunningham, president of the Republi
can Alliance, will nssist the Mayor In
his determination to maintain his posi
tion as titular leadpr of the Republican
party in Philadelphia.
To Lead Fight
It was announced that the Mayor
will lead the fight against the Vares
in the spring primaries in every di
vision and ward in the city where tlcrc
is u fighting chance. The Mayor will
fight to bring about the election of a
friendly delegation to the state Legis
lature, of sympathetic members of Con
gress from this city and also for con
trol of the Republican pity committee.
One of the first mores in the fight
(or 'control of the city committee is
the announcement by Councilman TV.
W. Rqncr, of Gcrmantown, that he
yrill bcTi candidate for he city com
mittee fiofii the Twenty-second ward.
The present Vare committeeman is
Magistrate Watson. . Sbcrlfr iiambcrton
is also a Twenty-second ""vardcr," and
his friends said today hat he might
be Induced to make a contest against
oth Roper and Watson,
Councilman Roper is an independent,
but licutennnts of the sheriff said that
the councilman's path to the city com
mittee would not be a "path of roses."
Governor Sproul is expected to be in
Philadelphia tomorrow nnd develop
ments in the state situation are looked
for. Senator Vare and the tGovcrnor
are to have another conference on the
subject of the magisterial appointments
which 'are demanded by Mnjor Moore.
The Governor and the senntor also will
discuss the make-up of the state ticket.

TOPICS OF THE DAY
"The AUies owe us 450 million dollars interest on the ten billion other dollars they owe
us, but were not going to collect even the interest just at present. For two reasons:
first, we're sorry for them, and, second, they haven't got it" Kansas City Star.
Must England Fight Reds
To Retain Hold on India ?
. "To make a wide impression'' on the elements of discontent in the Punjab, according to
heir commarTder, Brig. Gen. R. E. H. Dyer, British and Indian troops fired without warning
last April on a meeting of Indians at Amritsar, killing five hundred persons and wounding
aKJut fifteen hundred in ten minutes. This action is now being investigated by a committee
headed by Lord Hunter. The violent outbreaks of disorder in Calcutta, Bombay, and the
Punjab, eventuated from the "passive-resistance" movement against the Rowlatt Act, which is
directed at revolutionary and anarchical crime, and is made necessary by the attempts to over
throw British rule in India. Agitators seized upon this measure, the London Morning Post tells
us, to organize an agitation which "threatened the very existence of British rule in India "
Events in Afghanistan, and even in Bolshevik Russia, "may or may not have had a connection
with this movement.
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for January 24th there is an enlightening account of the
unrest in India and how it menaces British rul in Asia. The article il accompanied with a
