CENSUS TO Be TAKEN
Of UNEMPLOYED MEN
Department of Labor Decides to I'm
dertake Count in New
York City.

Jobless persons of Greater New York
are to be offlcially counted by the De-
partment of Labor, through its bureau
of labor statistics. Secretary Wilson OF
the Department of Labor shortly after
noon today issued orders to this bu-
reau to begin Immediately the work of
taking a census of the jobless of the
metropolis.
officials of the department were in
clined to believe that the bureau did
count. but 1t was said that attempts
would be made to have the police OF
New York make the census. with a
to furnish a check on the statistics
turned in by the police department.
without informing the police before
hand as to what districts would be
checked by the federal investigations,
1t was planned to have the police pro-
ceed, and for the federal employees to
pick out a section here and there and
take account.
Chicago Reports Exaggerated.
The matter of making a count first
came up several months ago, when ap-
plication came from Chicago to turn
the immigration station quarters there
over to the unemployed.
At that time 1t was declared that
there were thousands out of work with
no place for shelter. Investigation by
federal officials proved erroneous these
statements, as none of the municipal
lodging houses was filled, nor had they
been filed. In fact. one of them had
no one staying there at all.
Then the request came from New
York to use Ellis Island, and permis-
sion was given. Later it was decided
to make q count to see whether the
were any different from
those in Chicago. and the orders issued
today were the result of that determi-
nation.

REGARDED
BREACH Of NEUTRALITY
Germany Protests Against Sales Of
Hydro-aeroplanes to Bel
ligerents.

Germany protested to the State Depart
ment today through her ambassador.
Count Bernstorn, against shipments of
American hydro-aeroplanes to the Euro
pean belligerents. on the ground that such
aircraft are war vessels
A statement by the embassy today
says:
'The Curtiss works at Hammondsport.
N. Y, have sold and sent to England the
well known hydro-aeroplane America and
five hydro-aeroplanes of the same type.
Thirty-six hydroaeroplanes of diff
ferent type have been ordered by Eng
land and are under construction by the
same firm. Also Russia has ordered a
nunber of these vessels from Curtiss
for use in her navy.
Considered War Vessels.
There is no doubt. and it does not
need any explanation, that. from the
standpoint of international law. hydro
aeroplanes have to be considered as
war vessels and that, therefore, by
article VIII of the agreement con-
cluded at The Hague October IS. 1907,
neutral countries are prohibited to sup
ply belligerent countries with such ves-
sells The selling of hydroaeroplanes
by the Curtiss works, therefore. con-
stitutes breach of neutrality. Hydro
aeroplanes are not especially men,
toned in The Hague agreement, for
the simple reason that this kind of war
vessel did not yet exist at that time"
