SOLDIERS GOING WRONG
Charges of immortality Near Jefrer-

St. Louis. June 16.-Charges of inn
morality and violations of the anti
drinking provisions of the selective
service bill in the neighborhood of
jefferson Barracks. threatened to de-
velop a city row here today. News
papers, public and city and county
officials are divided and statements
and denials are flying thick.
Governor Gardner, following com
plant from officials of the st Louis
branch of the National Security
league, yesterday directed city ana
county officials to investigate condi-
tions near the big army post and
dispatch from Washington, purport-
ing to come from Raymond b. Fos-

threatened to remove the great bar
racks from st. Louis If conditions IN

In a statement this morning Col.

''horrible exaggerations." The re
formers came back with a statement
asserting that saloons near the post
have furnished dressing rooms where
soldiers are allowed to change from
uniforms to overalls furnished by the
saloons so that drinks can be sold
them without violation of the in uni

| to catch up this common cotton ma
terial into its vortex and pitch it out
again at twice the price that has al
ways been paid for it.
Possibly, this may not happend. 1t
may be only rumor, so it is best to
buy as much Bingham as possible while
one can get it at reasonable price,
for there is no doubt that it is to be
in high fashion.
Plaid figuring is not becoming to
every woman. There are those who
cannot wear entire costumes of checks
and stripes, but there is no one who
cannot use this design for collars and
cuffs, for girdleS and pockets, for
jumpers and hens.
The growing fashion for attaching
a medieval cuirass, sleeveless and
with a round decolletage, to any sort
of gown, gives one chance to put a
bright bit of plaid Bingham in a clever
way against frock in a plain color.
As a rival 10 the jumper, there
comes the short jacket, and it is
usually made of a plain color and put
over frock or separate skirt of plaid
Bingham.
Bingham in Sport Skirts.
At the first races that have been
held in the open this season, and also
at many of the country clubs, smart
women are wearing Bingham frocks
in all colors, and sometimes separate
| skirts of the plaid Bingham with a
| colored sweater or jacket. There
seems to be no condemnation against
the mingling of silk and bingham, for
several women have the former ma
terial made up into a short sport coat
| loosely belted in with a piece of it
| self and worn above the skirt, with OF
! without separate blouse.
The sketch shows a gown recently
worn, made of plaid Bingham in
green, red and black. The blouse is
quite simple, with a narrow belt OF
| itself, and there is a double pleating
of white mousseline in front. Notice
that this pleating does not end at the
waistline, but drops below to give that
long, panel effect which is one of the
| features of the season.
| The coat, which is cut in a skeIe-
ton manner, is of sage green taffeta
| belted in below the waistline. Its col
lar is almost cape. and at the side
of the tight cuffs there are full white
| ruff1es.

Minimize u. S. FORCE
America Can't Get Troops to Europe
Until 1918, German Press Is Told.

Copenhagen, June 16, (via London).
Representatives of the German press
were told yesterday at the regular
weekly press conference in Berlin,
that arrival of American troops in
noteworthy number in the European
theater was to be expected only in
1918.
The general staff lecturer also took
the ground that the American force
should be treated as a negligible
quantity in t. general reckoning ow-
ing to the difficulties of finding suf-
ficient tonnage for transportation and
supplies. The suggestion was follow
ed in numerous articles in the news

IN SIGHT BY TUESDAY
Y. NJ. War Campaign Workers Must
Raise Money Early Next Week.

The 100000 goal of the War
Work campaign must be in sight be-
fore Tuesday noon, according to re-
ports sent out by the national head
quarters at Washington. Under orders
of the federal government the Y. NJ.
must have it's subscriptions practical
" all collected before that date which
has been set aside for the opening of
the national Red Cross campaign.
Reports from the 500 workers in
Topeka this noon showed that the
amount pledged had mounted to the
$4,000 mark in Topeka, which is just
half the amount to be raised by the
city. The workers, however, are far
from discouraged and stated TINS
morning that the campaign would
progress more rapidly than ever in
their final drive of Monday morning
and Tuesday morning.
Great success was reported to state
headquarters this morning and the
$4,000 for the state is practically as
sured Shortages we're reported from
only three cities of the state. An en-
couraging pledge received this morn
ing came from Osborne, Kan, in the
form of a draft for $355.50.

Bingham frOcks have been taken up
by women of wealth, and the fash
ion is spreading over the continent.

New York, June leach of the
experts in various fields of industry
and activity is writing on the curious
psychology that has propelled all the
things done for economy's sake into
the realm of extravaganza.
1t is useless, it Seems, for any of
them, no matter how great their posi-
ton and how exhaustive their infor-
nation, to explain with any satisfac-
ton to the public the reason for the
increase of prices in every field of
life. 1t is like building a child's pyra-
mid of blocks, each reason resting
upon the other with a slight excuse
as its foundation, and the whole pyra-
mid growing higher as each person
puts on another block.
For instance, the experts of the
country advised rice as a cheap and
nutritious food to be used as a sub
stitute for onions and potatoes, which
had grown too high in price for the
average household. Prestoi Instant
ly rice goes up in price.

TWO MORE BIG CARRIERS FOR
 R. R. MATERIAL

SEATTLE, Friday, May 25.-The charters for two more vessels to aid in moving the thousands of tons of supplies for use on the government railway have been closed by H. r. Warren, engineering representative of the Alaskan Engineering Commission. The two vessels secured are the steamer Portland, of the Independent Steamship company, and the barge Louisiana, of the Griffiths fleet. The Portland will take 100000 feet of lumber, including 5000 ties and 100 tons of general cargo direct to Anch- orage. The charter is for the single voyage and is for private terms. The Louisiana will take a consignment of 5OO,00O feet of lumber, 300 tons of rails, two large boilers and other rail way equipment. Delivery of part of her cargo will be made at Seward.
 The movement of cargo to Anchor age has been extra heavy recently. Besides the two vessels chartered yes terday the 2,OOO-ton barge Gen. Fair child is completing a full cargo for Anchorage and will sail shortly. The Daniel Kern sailed May 23 with the barge Lawrence.

CHAIRMAN EDES
 GIVES EFFECT OF
 WAR ON WORK

That one effect of the war has been to raise the cost of supplies for the government Alaska railroad to almost twice what it was when construction work was begun is the statement made to the Juneau Dispatch by Chairman William c. Edes of the Alaskan En- gineering Commission, then en route north.
 When asked point blank his opin- ion as to the effect the war would have on the construction work he seemed to be at a loss for a direct answer but he hopes it will not be very serious. The increase in the price of powder and all other supplies is very great and the cost of rails since the work began has increased from S1 200 to $l,5OO per mile, which means an increase of cost for the line from the coast to Fairbanks for steel alone more than half a million dol lars.
 In answer to question as to when the line would be completed to Fair banks Edes expressed himself by say ing. "Two or three years" but he be- Heves it possible that this will depend to a great extent on any effect the war might have with respect to sup plies or the number of workers. He does not seem to think, however, that a large number of the construction workers will be called away for mili- tary service. He is also fairly sure that Seward and Anchorage will be joined up this year.

NAME TUNNEL
 ENGINEER FOR
 THIS DIVISION

Lynton Warren has been appointed division tunnel engineer by R. J. Weir, engineer in charge here Warren ar rived on the s. S. Alaska and will take up his duties at once in connec- tion with the relocation and recon struction of the line north of Mile 45.
 Warren comes from the Tehachipi division of the Southern Pacific val ley lines and has also been on the San Luis Obispo division of the coast line in Southern California While he sev- cred his connection with the southern road before coming north, Warren was really only loaned to the Alaskan En- gineering Commission, his former chief giving him explicit instructions to return so soon as his work in Alas ka is completed. Warren's success in handling the big tunnel fire on the Tehachipi division some years back and a similar fire in tunnel near San Luis Obispo is we'll known in Cali fornia railroad circles. The line across the Tehachipi summit carries about the heaviest traffic possible for a single track and by skillf1 use of temporary tracks around the Eountain he was able to cut delays in service during the reconstruction of tn: tun- nel to a minimum.
 Existing tunnels on this division of the U. S. R. R. present quite prob lem in winter owing to water seep- age which results in ice.
