ON WORK FOR POOR

The Board of Estimate secretly on
gagged In u heated debate to-day on
the advisabiIity OF voting n, 000, 900 for
public improvements to provide work
for the unemployed. In the executive
session the doors were shut and
guarded by a policeman, while Mayor
Mitchell advocated the appropriation
and fought a wordy battle with Con-
troller Prendergast, who holds the city
can not AFFORD any such outlay. The
Board OF Estimate experienced its
FIRST big split since Mitchell became
Mayor.
The public meeting OF the board was
delayed two hours, while the officials
wrangled In the committee room.
When the mem: ers of the board filed
to tho horseshoe table around which
they sit, they looked unusually seri-
Gus. Precipitation was on the Mayors
forehead.
Mayor Mitchell usually agrees with
Copptro Ter Prendergast on questions
OF financial policy concerning the
city. but. following the advice Of FL
bert II. Gary, Chairman of the May
or's Unemployment Committee. Mr..
Mitchell bucked the Comptroller.
Judge Gary is Chairman of the Board
OF Directors Of the United states Steel
Corporation.
mitchell has reversed himself. as
until recently he was one Of the
lComptroller's firm supporters In the
contention that the city. too, must
draw the purse-strings tighter.

A few ordinary -four sacks forwarded
from American millers have come back
TO the Offices of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium, II Broadway, as
beautifully embroidered testimony Of
Belgian gratitude. This consignment Of
empty sacks is considered the most
novel and at the same time the most
artistic expression of thankfulness re-
ceived for American charity in warding
off famine and hunger from King Al

1t is said that the sacks received yes

FRENCH TURN IN MORE GOLD
Rivalry Between People Results In
Rise to sl2,OOO.o00 Weekly.

Paris, Sept. lS.-Through the stir
ring Of local and professional pride in
every part Of the country to turn in
the largest sums, the voluntary ex-
change of gold for paper at the Bank
of France and its branches, which had
dropped to 50,0O0,o00 francs (sl0.000,-
000) weekly, has again risen TO 60000,-
900 francs. The railway men have thus
far done the most toward swelling the
total, and there is also considerable
rivalry among parish priests and
mayors of cities, who are issuing calls
TO the public, urging them TO give up
their gold for their country's sake. AS
an example, Mayor Bellamy Of Nantes
posted the following on the billboards
of the city to-day:
"To keep your gold is to betray the
heroes who are giving their blood. To
keen your gold is 10 delay victory. To
bring in your gold is to be good
Frenchman."
The negotiations in progress in New
York for a loan 10 France and Great
Britain are being watched with
extraordinary public interest. The
newspapers contain columns OF tele-
grams on the subject, devoting more
space to IL than TO the submarine con-
troversy between Germany and the
United States.

lBy Gable TO Tho Trioune.l

London, Sept. 18.-Sir Henry Dalziel,
one Of the most influential members Of
Parliament outside the Cabinet, an in
cisive critic of the government, and an
important newspaper proprietor, made
the following statement to The Tribune
correspondent to-day:
By SIR HENRY DALZIEL.
Too much Importance must not be
paid in America 10 occasional differ
ences here regarding matters Of domes-
tic interest or in questions Of the con-
duct of the war. In every section po-
litcal thought is absolutely united in
determination to prosecute the war
until victory Is finally assured, no mat
ter what the cost in men or money.
The only point of difference, II indeed
there is q point Of difference at all, IS
whether we should not, without wait
ing longer, with view OF shortening
the war, mobilize every national asset
at our disposal. The nation is abso
lutely resolute and will continue so

met is strong enough to carry the
country to a victorious issue, certain
ly think 1t is. There are any number OF
men in the Cabinet fully alive to the
necessity Of more energetic action than
has yet been taken, and the country
is fully prepared to do anything and
everything that is demanded Of 1t.
In reply to your question as to
whether, il the government decides on
conscription, there will be a repetition
OF the failure of compulsion in the
Welsh coal strike, want to say that
| do not agree with your suggestion
that there will be great labor troubles
in the event that national service is
decided on. If II is proposed it will
be with a view of ending the war soon.
Workingmen in this country, when they
have the facts fully before them, will
act in accordance with their undoubted
patriotism and agree to everything and
anything for which responsible gov
ernment can make out sound case.
It is admitted that mistakes have
been made in the past regarding the

conduct Of the war. But it must be
remembered that a war of immense
magnitude such as that in which we
are at present engaged Is thing en-
tirely novel to our country. 1t was
inevitable that II would take some time
until we got into our stride. We have
now got our first breath. Every day
we are protiting from past miscalcula-
tions. Criticisms which were made in
the House of Commons have had the
desired effect on every department, and
it is perfectly safe to look forward to
bigger triumphs in the near future
than we have had during the last year.
| have had some complaints put be-
fore me in regard to the action of the
censor respecting the American press
and | am personally investigating
them. The desire prevails among all
political parties here TO be on the best
terms with America. II any legitimate
grievance is brought to my notice |
will undertake that It will be immedi-
ately rectifed. There need be no mis-
giving whatever on the question of the
British Empire standing the financial
strain. Our enemies will suffer from
the strain much sooner than we.
There is no conceivable sacrifice
which VIII not be made by every sec
tion of the community in order to in
sure victory for our arms. The final
victory may be delayed somewhat be-
cause of our unpreparedness at the be-
ginning Of the war. But our early dif-
fculties are now being rapidly over
come. With the new important devel-
opments at present in contemplation
am more than confident of the final
triumph of our cause.
As TO the trouble in the Cabinet, IL
must be remembered that among TWEEN
ty-two men it Is impossible to get all
to agree on every point coming before
them, but in my opinion there is no
reason to anticipate anything like dis
sension within the Cabinet on national
service or anything else. Mr.. Asquith,
during his Premiership, has surmount-
ed difficulties of even greater magni-
tude than any question which can
come before the Cabinet now. The
members of the Cabinet are patriots
before politicians. Ny forecast is that
the Cabinet will remain united and
that the country will not stand for
moment for anything else.
