Making Rounds of New
York Restaurants.

NEW YORK, March 2l.-Singing hymns
in opposition to tango music is to be
tried tonight by a picked band of ten
Salvation Army men and women to at

The crusaders, who are the sweetest
singers in the Salvation Army in this city,
plan to march from one tango restaurant
TO another.
The line of march covers the most popu-
lar restaurants and hotels in the theater
district. The proprietors of some of the
tango restaurants announced today that
guards would hold the door against the
crusaders, while at two places the pro-
prietors said the singers would be per-
mitted to enter and would be given a re-
spectful hearing, if they did not create q
disturbance.
Salvation Army officers announced that
tonight's invasion is the beginning of a
series of nightly descents on hotels and
restaurants. Later. it was said, the cam
paign might be extended to include the

OPPOSES BILL FIXING
NAVY MACHINISTS' PAY
Secretary Daniels Says Maher Meas
ure Would React Against
Federal Workmen.

Secretary Daniels. before the House
labor committee today, opposed the Maher
bill to fiDarbitrary rates of pay to gov
eminent machinists in navy yards, and
asserted that the navy wage board and
the Secretary of the Nays office should
have discretion
THE wages paid by the government"
said Secretary Daniels, are as good Or

private yards. / believe in good wages
and want to pay the machinists good
wages. But if we make the wages too
high it will not benefit the men in the
end. because Congress requires that We
send our work where it can be done the
cheapest: and if private yards are paying
less they will get the business. Congress
ought not to attempt to fix a hard and
fast wage scale as proposed in this bill.
Secretary Daniels said the wage board
heard statements from all sides on the
question of wages for machinists and
that the departments information was
that the government rates compare
favorably with private enterprises. He
said the Mexican situation had checked
the even flow of repair work among the
various government yards and that the
chief cry of the machinists now seemed

LACKS TASTE AND CANDOR.
Prof. Perry's View Of Criticism in
American Book Reviews.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, March 21.-
Literary criticism in American book
reviews is lacking in good taste and in
tellectual candor." declared Prof Bliss
Perry Of Harvard in the first of his
Bromley lectures on journalism at Yale.
Criticism is influenced by the league
between the publisher and the critic to
obtain the best commercial results
from the sale of books. Most criticisms
are done by ill-paid and unframed
journalists.
He also criticised the book advertise
ments. THE courts insist on labels
for food he said. There are no pure
food law for books. This indiscriminate
advertising will ultimately defeat it.
