Germany has let the Times TO make
an inquiry i'm the Industrial centres OF
England as TO the reasons for the
lessened output from British workshops.
The majority Of those among whom
the inquiries were made agree that inc
OUTPUT Of the British workmen Is not
to-day what IT formerly was. either IN
value or in weight. Most agree also In
attributing the falling off to the eXag-
gerated interest OF workpeople IN sport

Birmingham many employers complain
loudly of the loss and Inconvenience
caused by men absenting themselves
from work on Mondays and Wednesdays

Kenneth Davis, of the Birmingham
Small Arms Company. said that IN tie

In Cardiff the managers do not COM
plain so much Of the loss Of time through
attendance at football matches and
other sporting events, but Of the lack
Of initiative ana enterprise In their work
men. The managers said that the Eng

ing to be mere plodders.
The employers Of Glasgow show great
concern over the unpunctuality of their
employees The secretary Of tho SHIP
building Employers Federation SAID
that. Notwithstanding The fact that clyde
shipbuilders in 1913 had a larger output
than ever before. there was no question
ing the fact that Individually the men
did less work. Labor saving machinery,
he said, did no more than make up FOR
the lessened output of individual work.

was losing more than 80 per cent Of

down to too good wages. The output, he
said. was I'm inverse ratio TO the men

Managers Of Leeds factories said that
among the Workmen there the football
topic was an eternal one. The men dis-

Small Use for Idea Original

Blackburn. April Mayor J. HIigSin-
son. I'm reply TO a deputation favoring
women police for this city stated that
he believed in the necessity for the for
nation OF a feminine corps. but he eX-
pressed the fear that some difficulty
would be experienced in institutinS the

protection OF girls.
Replying the Mayor said that while in
this part of Lancashire people did not
look with favorable eyes on innovations
from America. he would take the oppor-

ut was actually modelled from the arm
of verger at the abbey, named Johh
Burton, who was also champion prize
fighter of England. Burton was the dean
verger and he was asked on one occasion
II he would like to be buried In the ABBEY.
Replying In the affirmative, Burton asked
that the fact should be inscribed on his
tomb that he was champion prizeAshter
of England, and TO this the dean con-
serted.
when the time, came. however, ii was
decided by the chapter that the inscrlp-
ton should he omitted, and those VINO
knew where to find Burton's tomb would
see on it a blank space
The lecturer also told story about
Sir Frederick Bridge, the organist of the
at hey. II related to an incident whlch
happened just after the organist was

your heads together and see II you cannot
do better than that" on returning Sir
Frederick found all the boys lying pros

LONG GALLERY
FOR NEW LINER
Aquitania to Have 15OsFOOt
Covered Promenade Embel-
lished with Works of Art.
[From The Tribune Correspondent. J

London. April 4-When the Crnarder
Aquitania leaves the Clyde carly next
month. one Of the most interesting things
on the great ship will he the long gallery,
a great room stretching for nearly $50
feet from the first class smoking room
to the lounge. with windows overlooking
the deck promenade and sea on the port
side of the ship The walls are panelled
in mahogany and painted a delicate Nile
green. The period Of decoration is dated
about 1850 and is in the Adams style, with
which the black and gray thing OF the
floor harmonizes admirably. The whole
room Is very reminiscent Of Christopher
Wren and the Kensington Orangery.
This gallery or arcade is essentially
place where passengers may promenade
or. rather. stroll, for its beauties are so
varied that leisure is necessary TO ex-
anime them. Prominent among its feat
ures are showcases which will contain
exhibits Of iewelry. china. lace WORK
prints and other objects of art These, i'll
themselves would be of sufficient interest
TO establish the unique character of the
gallery. But Just as vital to the scheme
will be the magnificent prints which will
adorn the walls, making ii not only
gallery Of art, but one OF history as well
Particularly appropriate will be the oiu
prints Of English seaports in the early
part Of the eighteenth century-LiVer-
pool. the birthplace of transatlantic steam
navigation; Deptford. where the "goodhe
shippes" of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries were built; Greenwich. with its
ROYAL Hospital for seamen; Plymouth,

New World is the Mayhower; Bristol. the
