EVE GARB STYLE
THREATENED BY
GARMENT MAKERS

Washington, July 2O.-President
Wilson today received a request from
Henry Morgenthau. former ambassa-
dor to Turkey, Cleveland H. Dodge,
A. Barton Hepburn and several other
New York men, asking that the gov
ernment intervene in the cloak max
ers' strike. which has been in prog
ress in New York City for twelve
weeks.
The petition was made on the
ground that the strike threatened the
supply of women's clothing of the
whole nation. The president probably
will forward the request to the de-
partment of labor with instructions
that the bureau of Cancellation make
efforts to end the strike.

SHORT $3.50 CARS
Railways Need Equipment fol-
Troops, Says w. J. Black.
Former TOpekan Tells of Move
ment Problems Here.

Chicago, July 20.-In order to move
the maximum number of troops on
short notice the railroads of the coun-
try must have 6, $50 more cars perma-
nently at the call of the war depart
ment. according to W. J. Black, pas
senger traffic manager of the Atcni-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, in
a statement here today Such an in
crease. he said, would allow the move
ment of 1,750.o00 troops within 4S
hours.
The railroads. Mr.. Black said, now
have a surplus of about 5000 passen-
ger cars. With fifty men to a car,
these would accommodate 1000.
Including 2,500 sleeping cars of all
kinds, $500 additional or a total of
487, 500 men could be transported at
one time without disturbing CONNER
cial business.
Mr.. Black declares that if all pas
senger and sleeping cars in the United
States were used at once, 1,75O,0OO
troops could be transported, but it
would be tmpracticable to abandon all
commercial trains even in time of
war. At least fifty per cent of the
normal traffic would have to be man
tanned. On that basis, he says, avail
able equipment would enable Ameri-
can railways to move only 100000
troops in 4S hours. hence the increase
in cars necessary if 1t were desired
to move the largest contingents

learned from Frank Shepkowski,
my first American soldier today, he
would break the British censorship to
get the story to the world shepkow-
ski, of Company III Second Illinois
Infantry, will march up the steps of
his little home at 1452 Emma street,
North Chicago, within u couple of
days, give his wife a hug and say:
We'll, I'm home" He's got a check
he's careful after paying his fare he
ought to have about $40 to hand over

weeks holiday here In Texas.
Worrying About Home
It was from Shepkowski that got
my first inkling that thousands of
Americans here who were snatched
suddenly from their families in the
little breeze of war which struck
America three weeks ago are worry
ing about folks back home and won
dering whether they are getting food
and other necessities of life.
1T wasn't so bad with me,' said
Shepkowskf, because my wife was a
dressmaker and could quit my glove
cutters job and go to the front with
out her starving, but there are lots of
fellows whose wives don't work and
and they're worried stiff"
There were thousands of tragedies
as grim as many in Europe in Ameri-
can homes three weeks ago which are
just coming to light here on the bor-
der. General Funston and his staff
officers are hearing them. Shepkow-
ski put his finger on the greatest
present fault with the American army
plan.
Interviews Funston.
Can a man be a good soldier and
do good work if he's wondering
whether his family at home has
enough to eat?" asked General Fun
ston after leaving the jitney and max
ing my way to his hot office. The
general, whose perspiring head was
leaving patches of dampness on the
leather back of the huge chair In
which he sat, leaned forward, saying
earnestly:
"Of course not. I permitted IA men
to return home yesterday because
their dependents were suffering and

like grounds that it will prove neces-
sary to release several thousands with

These men are given 3h cents mile
age homeward. Money which has
been spent in bringing them to the

the lesson that in our army
plan we must provide well for the care
of soldiers families If we are going to
insist on taking men away from their
families into the army.
What about my family" is the
biggest question in all national guard
camps along the border.

Plunger Bremen May Arrive
Here by Saturday.

Baltimore, Md, July 20.-Dawn to-
day found the German sub-sea freight
er Deutschland still docked here,
Thanked by pbscuring bargest and the
fphDtecting tug Timmins. Maneuvers
before daylight led to the belief that
she intended to make a dash for the
capes, but what her plans now may
be is hidden in mystery deeper and
darker than the mud beneath her.
A run for the capes before or after
nightfaH seems logical and probable.
z During the night, the Deutscnland's S
matches were fastened and her fore
and aft masts telescoped. so that only
her periscope showed.
This with the extra precautions by
watchmen. by patrol launches and the
searchlight operators on the TImmins
gave rise to the impression that at
last the giant undersea freighter in
tended starting homeward.

like a giant green fish. Now and

Gus. Finally at a. m. she opened a
line in the barges, maneuvered for a
few minutes and seemed ready for the

terry was more mixed than ever. Cap
tain Hinch, transportation master for
the new freighters, is whispering to
his friends that the Bremen will dock
here by Saturday Certainly every
thing points that way-and to the de-
parture of the Deutschland either si-
multaneously or earlier. The men
smiled at reports that they feared
death on the return trip through cap
