The bill, in its original form, sought to give the Tubllc Service Commission concurrent jurisdiction with the Board of Estimate in the making of contracts with the New York Central for the improvement of t'ae West Side terminal situation.

The amendment would provide that no additional (ran. chise or lease should be for longer than dfiy years. Senator Brown opposed the amendment. There was a i. liter light wlm-h lasted lor several hours.

The Brooklyn Evening Mich School Regiment was presented' last night with an American flag, standard Infantry size, the gift of William Hamlin Childs.

The regiment now num bers 600 young men, most of whom are equipped with regulation khaki uniforms. By tomorrow afternoon the entire command will be uniformed. This has been made possible through the generosity of a group of Brooklyn business men. headed by Mr. Childs, who donated J3.000 for this purpose.

Because of a temporary Indisposition, Mr. Childs was unable to be present last evening at the exercises in the Boys High School, Marcy and Putnam avenues, so Colonel Sidney Grant of the Thirteenth Regiment presented the colors to the school command. Colonel Grant made a strong plea for universal training. "I know of nothing so good for our young men as i all fc op- should be compulsory. "It costs JSOU to discharge the 12-inch gun used In the service.

They are wonderful pieces of mechanism, and when it Is realized, from a purely business standpoint, that they must do at least $80n damage, the necessity for trained men is very apparent."

THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR THE RELIEF OF FRENCH WAR ORPHANS Principal Office, 120 Broadway The Fatherless Children of France Branch 665 Fifth Avenue NOW SEEKS LIKELY War Situation Brings Need of New Revenue for State. Would Create New Jobs. 'Special to The Eagle.) Albany, April 20 As a result of the extra necessity for increasing th State's revenues, due to the war con dltlon. It is now very likely that the Legislature will pass the Wheeler bill picture Industry. This was Indicated I by statements of prominent legislators rouowing the hearing on the measure before the Senate Judiciary Commlt- hundred nroduoers manaeers a rid theatrical men appeared against the hers of the Wheeler Legislat ive Committee, which probed the subject early It had been planned by the legislative leaders, early in the session, that no definite action would betaken this session.

The subiect was to be thoroughly investigated, a tentative but the tax was not to be pressed for actual enactment. Due, however, to the State's necessity for new sources of revenue, the bill will probably be pushed hard, although as a prospec- polntment. Originally, it had been expected to yield about half a million dollars annually, but this has been cut down to $175,000 above the cost of collection, plus the cost of maintaining a censorship department. As an indication of the determlna- year, Assemblyman Wheeler and Senator Carson, late today, introduced in each house a bill to appropriate $1 25,000 for the payment of salaries of officers of the proposed new Motion Picture Department, created by the tax bill.

organisation Your Tea-pot and "SALADA" TEA will tell you a delightful story. Sold only in metal packets. Never in Bulk. HomeDefensen New York, April 17, 1917. MY DEAR MRS.

STORY: May I suggest that before the great convention over which you are presiding brings its session to an end there is one form of action vhich would be peculiarly fitting for its members to take? You and your associates are the direct descendants of the men who fought our Revolutionary War. Side by side with these men stood the soldiers of France under Lafayette, Rochambeau and their fellows. It was this aid of French soldiers, combined with loans of French ships and gifts of French money, which made possible the success of our struggle for independence. The service which France thus rendered to us was declared by Washington, on the morning after the victory at Yorktown, to call for "unalterable gratitude." This service was of such vital character as to constitute a debt of I honor which every American should regard as a sacred obliga-I tion, to be repaid whenever the opportunity arises. That opportunity has come now, under such circumstances that in paying our debt to France we also render the greatest possible service to humanity as a whole.

France is fighting today for her very existence as a nation. More than that, she is fighting our battles as well as her own. She is fighting for American ideals, for democracy and civilization, and for the reign of justice among the nations of mankind. She needs our help. It is estimated that half a million French children have lost their fathers in this war.

The French Government, staggering under the stupendous financial burdens of the war, can contributed only partially to the support of these children. Thousands of them, especially in the districts so brutally devastated by the retreating German army, are utterly destitue. They must have quick and generous aid, or many of them will perish. They should be saved for the next generation, to take the places of the men who have died that the nation might live. The American Society for the Relief of French War Orphans has undertaken to provide for these victims of this most ruthless war, and to care for them until they shall reach an age at which they will be self-supporting.

The Society has been incorporated for fifteen years, and its work will be continued after the end of the war. Its expenses, both in this country and in France, are paid from membership dues and an underwriting fund, and all moneys contributed to its War Orphans' Fund or for individual orphans are remitted to France without deduction. earnestly hope that the Daughters of the American Revolution, recognizing their peculiar fitness for the work, and indeed their peculiar obligation to perform it, will give formal approval to the American Society's really noble charity, and will pledge themselves as an organization to co-operata with the Society by guaranteeing support for a large. number of orphans. Thus your organization will take upon itself the duty of paying its share in our Debt of Honor to France.
