5 Philadelphia, May l-tl. N. &) Dr.
Bernard "Dernburg, ; former colonial
secretary of Germany, today advocated
compulsory arbitration as a means of
securing permanent world peace, : In a
speech delivered at ,the meeting1 at the
Academy of Social Science. . ' -
"1 favor any scheme," he declared,
"whereby ! nations, through economic
pressure, may be compelled to arbi
trate their differences before going to
war. : I favor . the Inception . of such
a principle in the peace conference
that will come at the close of the
present European war. We will only
squander time by waiting for The
Hague conference to adopt such a
measure.". ,
Dr. Dernburg was not on the regu
lar program today, but appealed be
fore the academy to deny an asection
made by one of the speakers t-t last
night's meeting to the effect that Ger
many had protested against the right
of the United States to sell aims to
the belligerents.
"Germany complains only of the in
equality ht treatment she has received
at the bands of America," he explained.

Iondon. May 1. The board of trade
has taken vigorous steps to prevent the
abandonment in England by. steamship
companies of American muleteers and
horse tenders, who ar coming over
now In large numbers with the ship
roents of army horses. 1
During the early months of the war
hundreds of Americans who crossed on
the -horse boats were left stranded In
England by the steamship lines, which
advanced various debatable reasons for
not returning the men to America.
R. P. Skinner, American consul gen
erai in London, laid the facts oef ore
the board of trade a month ago. : The
consulate was at once advised to refer
all stranded i horse T and mule tenders
to the board, with the result that all
such Americans are being cared for.
Furthermore, Mr. Skinner has been
Instructed to provide return passages

GERMANY'S WARNING
NOT GIVEN TO BRYAN

Mose Eloch was very busy yesterday
oecauxs it was county pay day. He
was busy shaving: time . checks an
warrants of the men who had drawn
Iheir month's wases. i f
What does Mose Bloch care for the
order of county commissioners or the
reports of grand juries? t It is very
evident he cares nothing. The com
missioners ordered him to cease mak
ing: bis' headquarters In the county
offices.- The grand jury approved of
the order and decried the 'fact that a
shaver-- of county,- warrants was al
lowed to operate within - a few feet
f 4Pl county treasury ) and nnder the
samet roof that houses all the county
officials.
Te last nlffht Mose Bloch. was run
ning his warrant shaving! business in
the office of 'the janitor of the court
house. ; About 1 S o'clock hs . arrived
with a gang of 25 or SO men who had
been employed ; on the county roads.
Janitor Jos Hoeye met them In" the
corridor. He led the way to the jan
itor's office, unlocked the door and In
stepped Mose and the gang. Mose car
ried a satchel tilled with, fives, tens
and twenties, and much silver .for
small change. .
The small change ' was needed, ' be
cause Mose counts the .nickels when
he begins taking his toll from the
$2.25 a day wages of the men who
feel they must divvy with Bloch or
take chances of losing- their ; Jobs.
Mose took 1 pr cent of the men's
wages last night.? Tomorow he will
go to the courthouse and get hls'-money
back from the County treasury. One
per ; ecu ti interest for money outstand
ing over Sunday is pretty fair profit.
It is equivalent to about 100 per cent
a year. .Most of the men were those
