Militant Suffragist to be Ousted From Quarters Philadelphia, July 28.—The Fidelity Trust Company of this city, trustee of the Cameron estate, owner of of the Cameron mansion in Washington, headquarters of the National Woman's party, has served a notice upon the party to vacate within three months.

Gest, president of the company, made to htr yesterday. This remark was that the company desired the absence of the Woman's party because of the "unpatriotic, im proper and treasonable behavior of its members in waving the Russian ban ner before the White House" and other features of the picketing dem > onstrations leading up to the recent arrest and imprisonment of sixteen of the suffragists. ??? ? ?

OFFICERS LEARN QUICKLY [Continued From First Page.] their work not only much of the technique of professional soldiers, but the high morale and enthusiasm of men who have been attracted to military service by natural inclina tion." The colonel further expressed what seems to be the opinion of most of ficers already here, that as many of these officers from training camps as can possibly be spared should be sent to France at the earliest possible date to undergo intensive training in the actual war zone, and also to have experience in the trenches so that they will be fitted to act as in structors to the American troops as they are landed. There is a feeling that these young officers should not be held in America until the regi ments to which it is proposed to as sign them are actually formed. Ent in Flcjd The men of the expeditionary forces have settled down into the routine of the new training very quickly and are progressing as rapidly as their officers expected. They are up at 5 o'clock in the morning and reach the training grounds not later than 7.45, drilling and digging without inter ruption until 11.30. After half an hour for lunch and another hour for rest, they dP'l again from 1 until 4.30 o'elock. The men lunch in the field, having sandwiches and other cold rations prepared for them before they leave camp each morning. The French soldiers who are training the Ameri cans rest from 11 to 2 o'clock. They have field kitchens and eat a hot mid day meal. As was to be expected, the Ameri can soldiers have taken naturally to bomb-throwing. They like that part of the daily program better than any other. When they are not hurling dummy metal missiles they may be seen practicing with heavy stones, dummy shellholes having been con tructed as targets. The Americans are wonderfully accurate and the French instructors are amazed at their skill, so easily acquired. This, of course, is largely due to baseball training, although bombs are thrown with a straight arm swing quite dif ferent from the elbow motion of the baseball pitcher. "Homemade" Ilreml Word was received from headquar ters to-day that the expeditionary fcrce field bakery would be in opera tion within the next few days, sup plying the soldiers with "homemade" American bread. They have been living thus far on the regulation French war bread. The hard and willing work of the troops training has made the officers more keenly anxious than ever to provide wholesome amusements for GERMAN AIRPLANES FLYING OVER ENGLAND ' * "* ** * ' ITMII M™"FT ■ -TT This remarkable photograph was taken on the outskirts of London July 7, shortly before the German flotilla of airplanes began to drop bombs on London.

They now have band concerts, given by both their own and French bands, and it is hoped soon to have moving picture outfits available for every battalion. The suggestion has been made that w'ar pictures such as the English film of the Somme battle and later pictures from that front should be shnwn to the men repeat edly, giving them an accurate idea of what actual fighting conditions are like. Negotiations for the loan of these films may soon be taken up with the British government. There is no doubt they would be of intense interest to the young soldiers who have yet to get their first glimpse of a real battlefield. To Visit Front Often It is now planned to take both of ficers and soldiers to,the French front in detachments from time to time, so that they may see and study life in the trenches before they are actually called upon to take their places there. These trips will be made during the training period and men who have been in the trenches' will instruct other squads in what they saw and learned there. Most of the men who know of this plan hope to have it put into execution at the first possible moment. George J. Gould Loses Fortune by His Marriage New York, July 28.—When George J.

Jones Named on Camp Curtin Board Governor Brumbaugh to-day com pleted the commission appointed to purchase a site and arrange land scape work for the Camp Curtin memorial in this city, by naming Thomas M. Jones, of Harrisburg, president of the State Legislative Correspondents' Association. Mr. Jones, who has written ex tensively in Harrisburg and Phila delphia newspapers about the his toric camp, and who is a member of j the Dauphin County Historical So ciety, succeeds Ed. S. Herman, a member of the city planning com mission. Appreciating the honor and ex pressing his desire to serve his State or city in. any and every way, Mr. Herman, explained to the Governor this morning that as president of the City Planning Commission, he felt his service on the memorial commission might be incompatible . with his duty as a city planner, es pecially as It is the duty of the Planning Commission to pass upon all questions of sites for memorials, school buildings, location of streets, etc. For this reason he asked the Governor to be relieved. FIGHTING ILLITERACY The Kentucky Legislature in 1914 created an Illiteracy Commission to extend the "moonlight schools" to every section of the state. It was the first commission on illiteracy in the world. "No illiteracy in Kentucky In I 1920," said this commission. One state after another quickly caught the vision. Alabama sounded a state wide slogan, "Illiteracy in Alabama —let's remove it." Oklahoma, with the presumption of youth, said, "No illiteracy in Oklahoma in 1918;" North Carolina said, "All together for the elimination of illiteracy from North Carolina;" Mississippi said, "Illiteracy in Mississippi blot it out;" New Mexico said, "Illiteracy io New Mexico Must Go;" lowa, with her minimum of illiteracy, began to teach Swedes in her rural districts; Maryland to teach illiterate fisher men on her coasts; California to teach illiterate immigrants; and twenty-two states to teach some, with the ultimate purpose of teach ing all. The mission of the "moonlight schools" is to redeem Illiterates. It receives the semi-Illiterates and oth ers more advanced, but for illiterates it reaches out. If they do not come to the "moonlight school," It goes to them, and they are taught at home by the volunteer teacher or some volunteer assistant. But, usu ally, they come, and come In over whelming numbers, with an eager ness jn their hearts and a determi nation in their eyes that know no failufe. Their tragic earnestness has sent many a gay and thoughtless teacher Into the shadow of the schoolhouse to hide the tears that came at scenes so pathetic—gray haired men and women, flushed of face in their eagerness to spell the word and excel, shouts of exultation over the feat of writing a name, proud emphasis on every word of a sentence read.—Cora Wilson Stewart In jhe Christian Herald. 1 NEW MINIMUM FOR SCHOOLTEACHERS [Continued From First Page.] Stutes House bill providing that i banks of discount may establish sub agencies which may pay out and take in money, but report all business and return all assets to the main bank at night. Minimum Salary The teachers' salary bill was pre sented by Chairman Milliron, of the House educational committee, and provides that hereafter the minimum salaries for teachers with provisional certificates shall be $45 instead of S4O and for teachers with profes sional or normal school certificates, $55 instead of SSO, while those with permanent certificates shall be S6O. In a long statement on his approval the Governor says that the bill will add $1,000,000 to the state's expense and reduce correspondingly the amount districts will receive for oth er purposes. He closes by saying that "much as I had hoped to give relief from local taxation by in creased state appropriations I dare not in a war time deny the faithful, under paid, loyal teachers of this Commonwealth that which they richly merit." In another statement explaining his approval of the fish code the Gov ernor says that while some sections have been protested "the main fea tures are so wise and the enactment so generally desirable that I cannot find it Justifiable to without appro val." The New Fish Code The new fish code will go into effect January 1 of next year. The act fixes the season as follows: Trout, except, lake trout, April 15 to July 31, 25 a day's limit; salmon or lake trout, July 1 to September 30, 25 the limit; and July 1 to December 31 for the following: Bass, day's limit, 12; rock bass, 25; pike perch, wall eyed pike, *>ickerel, Susquehanna sal mon, 25; yellow perch, 50; muscal longe, 4. The season for these is advanced fifteen days, the date for opening now being June 15. Slight changes are made in the sizes at which some of the game fish may be legally taken, but in general these are not important. Indict Gov.
