establishes that when marines are de-
tached by order Of the President for
army service the War Department is
charged with the duty of dealing with

marine. who for an offense at Vera
Cruz was convicted by navy court
martial over q protest Of his counsel
that he was subject 10 trial only by
IN army court martial.
The judge advocate general OF the
navy sustained the objection that the
naval court martial was without juris-
diction and the case was open to army
trial. Upon habeas corpus proceedings
the federal district court for the east
ern district of Pennsylvania held that
the navy had no jurisdiction where
marines are serving with the army by
order of the President and that they

CONFIRMS STATEMENTS
MADE BY THE WORLD
Samuel Gompers Admits Efforts
Were Made to Cause Long
shoremen to Strike.

| Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor. has is
sued statement confirming state
ments made in the New York World to
| the effect that efforts were under way
last spring to cause a strike among
longshoremen on the Atlantic coast.
The purpose of the strike. it is as
serted. was to hamper shipments of
war munitions to the allies. Mr..
Gompers directed attention to the fact
that he had already written to Ernest
Bohm of the New York Central Fed
Grated Union intimating that agents of
foreign governments had tried to cor
rupt labor leaders and cause strikes
among 1ongshoremen.
In the statement mention is made of
Boston man named Cummings who
was mentioned in newspaper reports
as being eager TO enlist labor men in
the strike movement. Mr. Gompers
said:
Cites Letters to Ernest Bohm.
"Replying to the question as to the
expose, published in this mornings
New York World. regarding the efforts
of the agents of foreign governments
| to corrupt leaders of labor. for the pur-
pose of inaugurating strikes among
longshoremen. it may be Interesting to
call attention to the fact that in my
letter to Ernest Bohm, secretary of the
New York Central Federated Union, of
June IL l intimated that subject. and
then in response to his query in my
letter to him of July IS. said
Authentic information has come to
me that efforts have been made to
corrupt men for the purpose of hav-
ing strikes inaugurated among seamen
and longShoremen engaged in handling
of American products and manning
ships containing American products
consigned by agents of 4 foreign gov
ernment, and that ] had no doubt that
the same agencies and Influences We're
at work elsewhere with the same pur-
pose i'll view.
In the same letter | said:
THAT the effort has been made to
corrupt some of our men for such
purpose (strike) is true, but that the
strikes have been inaugurated is un-
men who have given time and service
to the workers of our country have in
terposed in time.
The facts as disclosed in the Worlds
exposure l have known for a consider
able time. If you compare the time
when Mr.. Cummins ceased his inipor:
tunities with President O'Connor of the
longshoremen and the dates of my
letters which were made public, some
reason may be found for his getting
under cover.
when the time shall arrive and fur
ther disclosures are necessary the peo-
pie will learn with astonishment what
has already taken place, and the obli-
cations, which all owe to the repre-
sentat;ves of labor and what great
temptations they have been honest and
patriotic enough to resist, in the efforts
to maintain first strict neutrality in
the present European war, and also to
insist that the American labor move
ment shall be conducted by the rank
and file of that movement of our coun-
try, free from corrupting and contain
mating influences of representatives of
foreign nations.

Popular Judgment of Genius.

Fabre's first chronological work gain ed the honors of the Institute of France and prize for experimental physiol ogy. His extraordinary absorption in his chronological pursuits was source of perplexity to those among whom he dwelt One morning he was passed by three women vintagers on their way to work When they passed him again at sunset he was still seated on the same stone. with his eyes fixed on the same spot, whereupon he saw one of them tap her forehead as she whisper ed, "A poor innocent" But more than one country guard suspected that he was up to no good in his mysterious wanderings about the countryside However, the sight of the little dark ribbon of the Legion of Honor. with which he had beeh decorated by the French government, was generally sufficient to allay suspicion.-W Westmin, ster Gazette.
