PHILADELPHIA H \S A WAR CHEST
WHICH IS NOW OVERFLOWING, j
PHILAD1 ’HIA, Julv 18—This city’s War Chest
has been filled to overflowing. The war chest was institut
ed by a .V v leading banl.c rs here, who inaugurated an in
tensive campaign for a fund of $20,000,000. The campaign,
w hile officially »mU-d, is still getting belatedresults.lt
netted not only the $20,000,000 asked for, but a substant
ial amount besides.
Th? fund through the agency of various benevolent
societies, will be spent in ministering to the wants of the .
soldiers •. d sailoi id in actual warfare,
and for the relief of the many women and children in fore- '
ign counti u s, who have been made to feel the hitter sting •
of the titar.ic conflict.
* ‘ ' ]
The- government provides its fighting forces with un- j
iforms, munitions and the other necessities for warfare.
but the “little extras" must be bought by funds subscribed
by individuals. That was the purpose of the War Chest
campaign here.
Welfare expresses the use to which the fund will be |

the men, who are fighting to make the country safe for de_
mocracy.
When the campaign started it was announced that the
money received would eliminate further soliciting for war
actitiyies for a year. It was also made known that, in ad' i
dition to expending the funds for the litle extrs” for the
hoys on the firing line that help would be afforded to the
thousands of women and children of Belgium, France Ser
bia. Poland and Armenia, who have been made homeless
by the war.
Many unique posters were placed in conspicuous
: places throughout the city. None probably attracted so
J much attention, or was so effective in results, as the series
labeled “31 to 1”, meaning that the soldiers and sailors
were giving 31 days and nights in fighting for their coun*
| try, while the stay at’ homes were only asked to give one
['day’s income to the War Chest.

BUCKWHEAT CAKES ARE RELISHED
BY KING AND QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
LONDON,-King George and Queen Mary tasted
American buckwheat cakes for the first time yesterday at
the Eagle Hut of the American Y.MC.A: The visit was a
surprise, one made at the king’s own suggestion.
The king explained to the secretary that he had heard
so much about the Eagle Hut he had determined to seeit
“What s the most distinctive American dish you have
here?” he asked “I want to sample it.”
“Buckwheat cakes is the best thing we have,” replied ,
the secretary. (
The king and queen sat down at an oilcloth covered
table, beside a group of khaki clad American aviators and (
a couple of American bluejackets. Each ate a plate of buck
wheat cakes hot from the griddle, with a generous cover- !
ing of genuine maple syrup. Both finished their portions j
politely refused a second helping, but declared themselves j
in favor of the adoption of buckwheat cakes into the Bri
tish national menu
After going through the Eagle Hut, examining the
‘quipment, dormitories and kitchens, the king and queen
raid a visit tft the new Washington Inn, the hostelry erect-,
id for American officers by the Y.M.C.A. in StrJames
suare.

and held until last January, arrived here today on a I reii*
ch steamer. He was released in an exchange of prisoners.
Mr. Jackman said he was one of thirty-three men tak
en from the ship November 10,1916, when the vessel wa
stopped by a German cruiser and escorted into the harbor
of Brug ges.
QUARTERED IN STABLE.
“With three other Englishmen,” he said, “I was held
at Bni o'iies in solitary confinement for sixteen da\s; then
ivo wore shipped to Ruheleben, a Gernian prison caiup
near Jierlin. We were kept in barbed wire inclosures and
:o mpelled to sleep in what was formerly a stable. We were
ill .owed to have a tire only one hour a day, and that •nil;,
.v'aen the .temperature was 9 degrees below the frost lino.
M -equently the temperature was more than 30 degrees b<>

“Germany is decidedly short of food and prisoners
are made to feel it. Those in the camp where I was confin
ed were allotted meat only once a week and that only one
ounce, on Sunday, cut up in our soup. On four days of the
week our ration was sou]) of potatoes and bailey and on
two days they left out the barley, subsituting a turnip
mash. t
400 MEN MADE SICK.
“The potatoes were bad. and on one day shortly before
1 was exchanged 400 men in the camp were taken sick as
a result of eating the potato sou]). We could get no medi
cal attention or medicine and we had to recover the best
we could.
“I was released in exchange for German prisoners be
cause I was over 45 years of age."
“MERRY WIDOW WILL BE SHOT
IN FRANCE AS A HUN SPY.”
PARIS, July 18— Announcement has been made that
a Paris court-martial has condemned to death as a spy
Mme. m-, 37 years old. Her son, Noel, 16 years old,
who was accused of being her accomplice, was ordered to
be sent to a penitentiary colony until he becomes of age.
The court believed he was too young to be held responsible
for his acts.
As the case was not heard in public, only a few details
have become known, such as that Mme. M’s husband died
at the front in March, 1916, and that the wife soon started
a life that earned her, in the circles she frequented, the
name of “The Merry Widow.” She soon ran through the
money she inherited and, to obtain more, communicated
with a Greek living in Spain, an agent of the spy bureau
established in Barcelona by the Germans.
_ _ •
When mother and son were arrested the boy was just
about to engage in the aviation service in order to obtain
information to be supplied to Germany.
A writer in the Paris Midi identifies the Greek as the
j head of German propaganda in Spain and director in par
ticular of the service for arranging explosions in factories.
I'fe was a regular visitor to a girl’s school in Barcelona,
where he went to see three little girls whose guardian he
was supposed to be. One of them, the youngest, aged about
11 handed over to him on each visit several letters which
he carried away.
These three little girls were French, being the daugh
ters of Mme. M- The “Merry Widow” used to pass on any
information that she obtained to her son, who wrote it to
his young sister, placing it in the middle of his letters,
which were never really examined, when it was seen that
they were letters from a brother to a little sister at school.
1 NINE WOMEN KILLED BY AIR RAID.
