532251123 i i-1. EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 1919 a wfvWW JUST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Speaks of the Return Home of Several Men Who Have Been Mustered Out Some Are on Leave. She Talks of Next Year's Debutantes WITH the close of the holidays and the return of the youngsters to their vari ous schools and colleKes, entertaining on tho Main Lino has taken sortVf a slump. Tho women are nil busy attain with their different kinds of work, particularly tho canteen service. Every day brines more and more returned men.

Families are Betting the most thrilling surprises In the form of cablegrams and telephone messages telling of the return of somebody from tho war, and sometimes the man himself. In some cases they have received their marching orders so quickly that they have not had tlmo to communicate with their family and Just arrive! Some of the men who have been mustered out of tho service are Major Archibald Barkllo, of Invor House, Wayne; Colonel Robert B. Montgomery, of Ardres-san, Radnor: Ensign William A. Rolln, of Strafford: Lieutenant John Forsyth Meigs, 2d. of Ithan: Lieutenant F.

G. Roberts, of Havcrford; Captain Faul Denckla Mills, of St. Davids, and Major Burton Chance, of Radnor. Mr. Georgo L.

Justice and Mr. Samuel Chew, who were doing Red Cross work, havo also returned. Major John R. Valentine expects to be murtereel out tho end of this month, and ho and Mrs. Valentine nro going South for a few weeks.

Mrs. Channlnc Daniel, who will bo remembered as Katherlno Verner, of Wayne, has had a cable from her husband, Lieutenant-Daniel, stating that ho is on the way homo. Lieutenant W. Kemble Yarrow, of Strafford, who has been In the sen-Ice for twenty-two months, Is expected to arrive any day, and Major Anthony Geyelln arrive at his home In Bryn Mpwr this week. rT MUST bj hard for tho kiddles to go back to school after such a good time In the holidays, for with tho armistice every ono seemed to feel as if they could begin again to entertain, and It being holl- day time for tho children, they promptly did.

Luncheons and theatre parties, din-ners and dances ono after another, until 1 should think study would be a hard thing to take up ngaln. My, but some of those girls around fifteen and sixteen are pretty! I saw Rosemary Howe for tho first time since she has been wearing evening frocks the other night nt a dance, and attractive? My dears, I should say so! She has tho loveliest curly hair and such v. pretty littlo figure. She had on a frock of pale blue tulle trimmed with silver bands and tiny pink rosebuds, and she danced beautifully. That young lady is sure to bo some belle when ehe comes out! She is tho daughter of Mr.

Arthur Howe, and her mother, who died some years ago, was Miss May Denckla. a tlster of Herman Denckla, so Rosemary Is a cousin of Mary Denckla Packard and Pauline Denckla. She has gone back to boarding school slnco the holidays; but nover mind, boys, she'll be back for the Easter parties, and I doiVt blame you ft- wanting to dance with her. She Is so snect and pretty and has such a lovely mat.nor. As I heard ono mother say, "Rosemary Is such a littlo lady." Speaking cf future belles, did you know-that there will bo some real comlngs-out next year? Yes, Indeed, and there certainly will ho a handful of pretty girls.

There's Katherlno Coxo and Nanoy Dunning and Polly Thayer and Hannah Elliott! And there'll be more than over before, for thoso who wero old enough to come out this year and did not on account of tho war will still bo young enough to vje presented, and so thero'll be a sort of innblA effect next season. And thero'll bo ft number who will have big parties given for them. So It's going to bo bomo winter, believo me. I WAS sorry to hear that Doctor Drinker, who is president of Lehigh University, was rather badly injured by fall on the Ice on Friday. He was taken to St.

LukCs Hospital In Bethlehem. Doctor Drinker the father of Ernesta Drinker, who married Willie Bullitt, and of Jimmlo Drinker, whoso wife was Mary Frances Fisher. His oldest son is Henry S. Drinker, Jr. He married Sophie Hutchinson.

Doctor Drinker is such a courteous gentleman. I hope his accident Is not very serious. YOU know there are dances overy year up at St. George's Ejchool, In Newport, and girls from here always go up to them and incidentally have tho tlmo of their young lives. A lot of Philadelphia boys go there to school, and of course they always have to have girls from their "home town." Peggy Thayer went up on time last winter, do you remember, and had a wonderful time.

this year they are Jessie Da Costa, Jano Hepburn, Ellzabet i Jeanes, Edith Hutchinson and maybe Sarah Duane, Sarah's mother, Mrs. Russell Duane, was going with them as chap-erone, but she's rather undecided now, so they aren't quite sure who's going to -chaperone them. But they know they R'are going to havo one, and they also feel erfec.Uy convinced that a marvelous wbun: time Is waiting for them. The dance on, Friday, the 24th, the uamo night as Irs. IVurts's next class.

More About a League of Nations To the Editor of the Evening Public Ledger; Sir Europe Is now In such a state of flux that wo need not expect any Immediate or early solldlllcatlon of the political elements of which she Is composed. The mission ot the Prcwldfnt is to help Europe to get rid of the old balance of power system nnd suu-atltuto a league of nations, which shall ever, more enforce penco upon the earth. As we wore disappointed that tho war was so long-drawn-out, so we should be prepared for nn extended wait for the full accomplishment of the President's high purpose. It has taken our Congress the biggest part of a yiur to pass the revenue bill now on tho stocks, so when the i'eace Congress assem bles and gets to work It Is likely to make a slow nnd Interrupted progress. Would It bo a wrong guess that a league of nations will not be formed at the (list session of the con-fetenco, but a temporary concert of the leading powers will bo entered Into, and the business carried over for a recond and maybe a third session? For one thing, It will tnke a full year for tho people of Europe to he fed up.

and until they have got enough to eat they will not be In temper to bo easily satlsfltd with any arrangement made for their welfare. It will tako two vears, and may tnko longer, for Bolshevism to run Its course. Tho President In Italy said. that tho world will heieafter bo made up, not of great nations, but small ones; It may bo so, but will the wot Id bo galnir thereby? A writer In tbo Atlantic Monthly nvors that "Europe will tio ffirttmntn If It MCnnM Inner uirlna I of petty wars rising out of tho conlllctlng historical, ethnographic, economic, religious and political claims of these new nationalities." Of couiso, the President would not have- Uncli Sam's domains cut up Into smalt nations oh, no. As to the colored races of Asia and Africa, what will bo done about them to settlo their aspirations for self-determination of their future destinies? While settling the affairs of Europe and securing for the people a future of liberty, Justice and peace the dark nnd jellow-skinned people of other continents must not bo left out of the reckoning.

And what of tho negro In this country? Is ho to enjoy the same liberty that the whlto man tnjojs, or Is he to be left to the discomforts and humiliation of tho Jim Crow-car, to the mercy of lynching mobs of the South, to the exclusion from trades and public houses of the North? Some time ago, before the nrmlstlco was entire'd Into. I gave to your paper my views of tlu kind of settlement that appeared to mo to be proper Nearly everything 1 recommended proved to be In accord with what w.ih decided upon nfterward by Foch and his advisers, but a few things, however. were ov erleiolted. First, the sinking of the U-boats, which I recommended; second, tho destruction of the Krupp cannon factory; third, the march of an army Into Rerlln. Thcro fcvems to be no Immediate disposition to do nny of these things, although it does look now as If the armies of the Allies will have to police lierlln and settle the troubles I hole and hold tho hungry Russian hordes from trampling over over thing In their march for full stomachs.

Tho Pence Conference will not fulfill Its true m'sslon until the hullw of the undersea outlaws find their proper plnc at tho bottom of the ocean. Tho future peace of tho world will not bo secure unless those pirates are ruled out bj a league of nations, and tnti bombing of cities piohlblted from airplanes. Any nation committing Infernal outrages should be declared outcast from the, community of civilized proples. Nor should tho use of poisonous gas In war ever be per-mltteil again. Of the vassals of Prussia, thoso In the north, stolen from Denmark, and In the east, of what was once Austrla-ftungiuy, should be liberated, Germany, whether pno ends up a monarchy or becomes a republic, should never be admitted to the League of Nations until Wurtemberg.

Baden nnd Max. ony are set free from the bondage of the Prusslnn barbarians. "Such times! Such times'" says S. M. In Life, "liewllderlrg to the nnNlous, full of menace to the timid, but freighted with splendid promise to the eve of faith WILMEIt ATKINSON.

Washington Seiyare, January 13. As to Teachers' Salaries To the Editor of the Evening Public Ltdger: Sir I wish to congratulate you for the way In which you presented Superintendent A. S. Martin's article In regard to the Inefficiency of the teachers nnd the poor salary paid them You are especially to be commended when ono considers that this cam-palgn for a 25 per cent Incrnse Is strong urged In the city of Philadelphia, the home of your paper. I have been opposed to this vicious piece of legislation.

I fully realise that the teachers of this S'ate, especially In the smaller dlstr.cts and the rural schools, are very poorly paid for the- great service the aro rendering to this country. Hurc'y next to saving souls (Indirectly and directly, how many souls have been saved just because the Influence of some Influential teacher was exerted upon tho boy or girl Just at tho light" time, for good), tho work of training tin minds and hoJIes of the future citizens of the State Is tho most Important work that can bo done In the State. It Is far better to spend tho money rnls a by taxing tho resources of the State for education, training tho children to be good, honest, law-abiding citizens, thnn it Is to spend It to reform some one who has gone astray, and that Is what we do when we build Jails and penitentiaries nnd conllno people In them. I am convinced that the more money spent upon education, the less It will be necessary to qpend upon penal Institutions and other reformatories. 1 am heart'ly In favor of an Increase In teachers' salaries, but as Mi.

Martin does, that the matter should be taken tare of in tho local school districts. I think that I would suggest eve-n higher salaries than he elo.s, I wou my the teachers upon tvvelvo months barls, that I would strongly urge and Indue by offering a bonus, the securing of university credits by teachers during their summer vacation. Very sine rely, PAUL Y. ECKERT. Conshohocken, January 9, Picks the Candidates To tho Editor of the Evening Pub'lo Ledger: Sir Tho next candidates for President and Vice President on the Democratic ticket will be; Governor Smith, of New York, for Pros-ldent and Governor Cox, of Ohio, for Vlco President.

DISPLAY SERVICE FLAGS TILL FRED DATE, URGED War Camp Community Board Suggests Demobilization on Washington's Birthday Don't tako down your service flags yet, nnd don't keep them up until they gradually disappear, weather beaten, ta'tered nnd unnoticed. This Is tho plea of the War Camp Community Se-vlce, which does not believe that these emblems of nil our hopes and fears during our nineteen trying months of war should bo laid aside without fitting ceremonies. Instend, of taking down tho flags ono by ono as fnst ns tho boys hro mustered out or the stnrs have turned to gold, the War Community Service urges that their proud possessors should keep them exhibited until a fixed dato when they can be demobilised at a public ceremony. The service flag hns been tho one central emblem that has represented the sons, the brothers, the fathers and the sweethearts of thoso who havo remained behind.

It has appeared everywhere throughout the country as great sign of reverence, an emblem of prldo and hope. Great mansions and Isolated little huts have displayed it alike, and fine has waved to flag from the humblest milk wagon or peddler's cart to the most gorgeous IlmouslneH. War Camp Community Servics suggests the period In which Washington's Birthday falls ns a fitting occasion for the first ceremony of t' "demobilization of the service ting" hruary 22 Is national holiday, and on Friday the 21st tho schools will no holding Washington's birthday programs. On this same day, factories, department stores, office buildings, banks. Industrial Institutions and fraternal orders might well also havo tho exercises of tho "demobilization of tho service flag," It Is pointed out.

On Sunday, the 23d, the churches should have their demobilizations, It Is contended. Tho service does not put this forth ns a vacuo suggestion, but has planned a well-defined program for these three davs Service bars should bo pinned (and later sewed) across the stnrs which represent the boys who have come homo. For the flar.s with stars which have turned to gold a specially designed permanent service flag, to bo known ns Glory" should be substituted, and these should bo kept on public exhibition as long as the mind of man retains the memory of this most Just of wars. The chief fenturc of the celebrations nt which these ceremonies take place should be community singing. The following program could bo arranged, It Is said, If tbo Maors of cities and Governors of State nnd President Wilson himself, back from planning tl, great penco, would include In their Washington's Birth-dny proclamations a plea for Its fiitlllmenf The singing of "America ten minutes of community singing; ten-minute address by a civilian; ten-minute response by a service man; solo; ten more minutes of community singing; fifteen seconds of silent tribute to tbo men who have fallen; demobilization of the service flag stars for those men who have he-en mustered out; prayer; eommunltv singing, ending with "Home, Sweet Home," and the "Star Spangled Banner." Only those stars should bo demobilized which represent cither death or discharge from the service.

In tho former case "Gold Glories" should bo hung hj a place for permanent exhibition. TheW demobilization ceremonies should be repeated several times during the year. Until our army Is demobilized, it Is said, there should be at intervals of several months 'service ting demobilization" nt block parties, churches, ollieo liulldlngs, department stoics, fr.iternal orders, high schools, colleges, small communities and nt every place where there la a service Mag.
