CHICAGO HOTELS
REAP|NG HARVEST
FROM BIG CROWD
Walters Find Bonanza In
Delegates and Visitors
! During Convention.

CHICAGO, June 2o.-The hotels are
making the greatest profits since the
Worlds Fair out of the convention
crowds. All records for attendance at
the Michigan avenue hostelries were
broken today. Last night the biggest
of the Congress moved slowly through
the corridors-and the most of the male
contingent sought the bar.
Manager Burke today estimated that
the hotel entertained $500 persons
Twenty-six bartenders dispensed good
cheer-the largest number on duty at
the Congress.
Although the hotel employees are
tagged BY extra service and the ex-
citement of handling such vast crowds,
they are nearly all making money
fast One waiter at the Congress, John
Kurtz. today figured than In one hour
he had salted away $18 In tips.
Want, Extra Duty.
The Chicago Walters Union is seeing
to II that the union restaurants employ
enough extra hands to relieve the regu-
lar walters but, as a rule, the men
want the extra duty and service to the
crowds, expecting and getting extra
enoluments.
In one short instant today a sharp
nosed individual with goatee and Taft
spised and, at the same time, the most
carefully watched person with whom
doorkeepers at the coliseum had TO
deal
The hatchet-faced person lolled about
unnoticed until doorkeeper passed the
word to, fellow-employes that the man
with the green tie was a Burns detec-
tive, placed there to pinch those who
tried to smuggle friends into the hall.
The suspected sleuth evidently felt the
report, or else went about his real busi-
ness. because It was not very long until
he disappeared.
Few Robberies Reported.
Chicagoans are pointing with a good
deal Of pride to the fact that since the
convention crowd arrived there have
been only a total OF a dozen small
thefts reported to the police. The
criminal record has been remarkably
small.
The reason. the police hint, is that
word was passed out through the under
ground channels that folks wearing
badges must be severely let alone, or
there would be a cleanup of ali the
suspects in the city.

Naval Expert Warns
Great Britain to Resist
Invasion Of Germans

London.-The naval correspondent
OF the London Times, in an article
in which he is foreshadowing a Ger
man invasion of England, says:
Now that the wal Is reaching the
climax Of its violence we must an.
ticipate that all the living forces OF
Germany will be thrown into the con-
fict and that the Germany navy no
longer will remain inert.
The length OF Il coasts, the alb
sence of our best troops over sea,
the want of a national army, which is
still only in the forming; the sub.
marine menace, which keeps our
grand feet often far from the ulti.
mately decisive point; Zeppelins,
mines and other conditions, more or
less novel, throw upon Sir John Jelli'
coe a burden Of responsibility which
no one must underrate.
With an intact navy and initiative
much can be done, and 1t probably is
hoped that while the German navy
engages ours the transports, escorted
by the older war ships, may slip
across and complete a landing under
the protection Of mines, submarines
and vessels sunk in the fairway.
There is ample shipping in German
ports for the embarcation OF a quarter
Of a million men or more, and from
the evidence OF calmness with which
the German generals sacrifice life to
attain their objects we can be sure
that a loss OF $4,000 men in transit
would be considered a cheap price to
pay for throwing the remainder
ashore.
Are there troops to spare? Ger,
many has three million men on her
two frontiers, but she has four million
men in her active army, reserve and
Landwehr, besides a million and three
quarters more in the Landsturm and
Ersatz reserve. She may have now
a million recruits Of the new contin.
gent at depots. There are reports
that over a million men who have es-
capped service in the past have volun.
teered. Even II we deduct from these
figures half a million men for losses
In the field by wounds and Illness II
will take a great deal to convince us
that the number of troops needed for
an invasion OF England cannot be
found.

BOTH BATTLE LINES REACH SEA
NO POSSIBILITY OF OUTFLANKING
TORPEDO SIXTH BRITISH CRUISER
BATTLE FRONT HAS
CHANGED ENTIRELY

LoNDoN.-lt seems as II the
struggle has reached such a
complicated stage that ever the
most highly organized general
staff is incapable Of exercising
general control over the move
ments Of any particular group
Of the armies, and in various
quarters Of the field the gener.
ais are acting more or less In
dependently.
The principal fact Is that both
armies have executed a most
complete change Of front since
the battle Of the Marine. They
are now holding vastly more ex-
tended lines, running almost
north and south. The Allies
line stretches from Client, or its
environs, to scissors. For the
past ten days the Germans have
concentrated their main efforts
on breaking through the centre
Of the Allied line.
Their object has been TO
reach Amiens and thus control
the railroads running north.
As a whole, the situation Of
the Allies daily becomes more
favorable. Everywhere they
have held their own, and In
several places have gained a
town.

which to attack the British fleet.
The entire feasibility Of trans.
porting submarines overland Is
the contention Of a well.known
American engineer here who has
had much to do with the study
of submarines and the handling
Of submarine mines. He said:
at would be possible to trans.
port submarines by rail from
Germany to the Belgian or
French coasts once the railroad
lines we're secured, but after
reaching the coast then would
come the problem Of escaping
the British war vessels or mine
fields"
