MR. LONGWORTH served his fellow countrymen in State and Nation for over 33 years--nearly the whole of his adult life.
His passing is a loss to the Nation.
The independent cooperation of the Salvation Army in this work has been invaluable.
The people of Philadelphia have done a splendid work in providing local relief of local distress in these difficult times.
