she did was to point out that a table
of statistics prepared by Director
Ralph himself showed that there had
heen 135 hospital cases from the
bureau during June. as compared
with 70 in June OF 1915.
Here are remarks from the table
which Congressswoman Rankin called
particular attention to:
THE l54 printers assistants on two
twelve-hour shifts have been res
duced to eIght-hour shifts.
"Seventy-two counters IN the wet
ting division reduced from thirteen
to twelve hours.
"One woman in printing division
reduced from thirteen to twelve
hours"
THE 1856 lin the examining division)
working over twelve hours daily had
their time reduced about one hour
each.
"One hundred and fifty-fve women
in the numbering division reduced
from thirteen to twelve hours each.
zone hundred and two women in
the stamp perforating division re-
duced from thirteen to twelve hours.
division reduced from thirteen TO
twelve hours"
The rest periods shown on the
table range from none to Fifteen
minutes" For instance. no rest pc
riod is shown for the 155 women
working thirteen hours in the num-
bering division. and none is shown
for more than 800 women in the ex-
amining division working twelve
hours and over. The rest period was
for only pressers and sizers in this
division.
Miss Rankin contended that the
statement itself was a prima faci case
against Director Ralph. and proved
that the reductions were from a thir-
teen-hour to a twelve-hour basis, and
that the eight-hour day Is by no
means general through the bureau.
The table also showed that when
women worked overtime in the bureau
they did not receive time and a half
as Is customary generally. but Just
straight time, pro rata, as for the first
eight hours.

CITIZENS ASK BETTER
STREET CAR SERVICE
Congress Heights Residents Prepare
Petition to Utilities Commission.


Suggestions were made for petition
for better street car service In Con-
gress Heights last night at the meet
ing Of the Congress Heights Improve
ment Association in Lofier's Hotel.
For some time the association has
been gathering information regarding
the service accorded by the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company.
A "spotter'' has been making the In
vestigation. The association Is putting
the finishing touches on the work of
this "spotter" and will obtain an af-
fidavit from him.
After finishing these details, the as
ISOLATION intends to make an appeal
for a hearing before the Public Utili-
ties Commission.
Another matter discussed at the
meeting was the numbering of the
houses In the suburbs. One member
of the association declared he wrote
to the District authorities some time
ago about the number of his house.
He received a reply stating that the
correct number of his house was 400
on a certain avenue in Congress
Heights. The policeman on the beat
came around later and told him that
the number on his house was IS digits
out of the way. So the citizen bought
new set of numbers and made the
number of his residence Sl5. And now
the number appears in the directory
and phone books away up In the
thousands, and. even at that. II Is
some few thousand units ahead OF a
house half a block away.
A letter was read from the superin-
tendent OF st. Elizabeth's Insane Asy-
lum, which was a response to the re-
quest made by them some time ago
asking that the fence on the east
side of the grounds be moved back
in order to give room for a wider
sidewalk. The letter stated that the
matter had been taken up with the
authorities and that permission was
expected to follow in a short time.
The. e.two-plantoon system for the
firemen OF the District received the
Endorsement OF the association.
Rev. John Hortskamp. pastor of the
Catholic Church OF Congress Heights,
and Rev. A. T. Perkins. pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of Con-
gress Heights, were elected to mem
bership in the association. At the next
meeting, August II. the petition re-
garding the car service is expected to
be ready for presentation TO the Com
missioners.

Big GUNS in BATTLE
Shown ON SCREEN
Audience Shrinks at Firing of Mon.
ster Shells.

There was a rush of applicants for
enlistment at the Coast Artillery re-
cruiting stations on + street yester-
day, more than three times as many
being signed as on any previous day.
There were twelve applicants, but a
much larger number showed their in
terest by applying for information
and booklets.
A well-attended rally Of young men
was held last night at the Vermont
Avenue Christian Church, where war
films. showing the life of the artil-
lerist and sidelights on just how the
men behind the monster guns at the
front handle their hayoc-wreaking in
struments Of war, were thrown upon
the screen.
The pictures, which were taken
during actual fighting operations at
the French front, showed how Ger-
man trenches and fortified positions
were obliterated under the fire of the
French ''seyenty-fives" and -four
hundreds" the latter being the long
range 16-inch guns. These -four hun
dreds" are mounted on railway cars
and hurl high explosive shells. weigh
ing more than a ton, a distance of
sixteen to twenty miles.
A number of British 90 howitzers,
which are hauled by tractors, were
also shown. The films showed the
part the artillery Is playing in mod
ern warfare. The land between the
German trenches and his supports in
the rear, along the sector where the
pictures were taken, show that the
explosion Of the French shells left
not a blade of grass, a tree or bush.
Just one she'll hole after another, the
lip Of one touching the lip of the
other, and from all sizes, some twenty
feet across and as many deep, and
the small holes OF the field guns.
DR.. Earle Whitley, who donated the
use of the church to aid the District
Artillery in its campaign for recruits
gave short lecture illustrated wish
slides. His explanations of the slides
showing mobilization scenes in France
and Germany, were interspersed
among the films shown.
There were many whispered "ahs"
and "ohs" from the ladies in the
audience at the size of the shells
used; some as tall as a man were
showed into the yawning breeches OF
the big guns. These exclamations
were often accompanied by such ejacu-
lations as no wonder they die" when
the same shell was fired with a flash
Of smoke and fame as big as a barn.
Besides showing the guns and how
they are handled. the scenes depicted
shells bursting over the German
trenches.

field Shoe COMPANY
Lands Big CONTRACT
Berberich Is Local Agent for Lucky
Boston Firm.

One of the largest shoe contracts
ever given out by the government Of
the United States has just been
awarded to the Fred S. Field Shoe
Company, Of Boston, Massachusetts,
The contract which was awarded
through the War Department calls
for $4,000 pairs of Army Field Shoes
at a contract price of sL73 IL
pair. The Field factory forces are
already busy preparing for the deliv-
cry of the huge contract.
Local interest in the awarding of
the contract centers on the fact that
the Field Company. which also makes
the Burt and Packard Burro5eps shoe,
is represented in Washington by the
Berbertch Shoe Company.
The Field Company has already
been awarded and has filled a number
OF large war contracts for shoes, the
most notable being that OF a previous
order for 22o,Ono pairs OF the Field"
shoes which have proved especially
adaptable to the needs of the army.
A numb@ OF foreign war contracts
for shoes are ALSO being filled by the
Boston firm including an order from
the Italian government which is near
ly as large as that OF the United
States contract.

placed on the advisory board Of the
exports council to represent the State
Department. Mr.. Mccormick was
chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee which elected Mr.. Wilson
to the Presidency. The President was
thus convinced OF his abilities. He is
a volunteer for national service. His
selection to represent the State De-
partment on this board gives further
evidence OF the Presidents deep per-
sonal interest in 1t and of the i'm
portance OF the boards work as af-
fecting our foreign relations.
Yesterdays developments made 1t
clear that Secretary Redfield of the
Commerce Department, announced as
the executive officer" OF the exports
control machinery, will be little more
than its chief clerk. The Presi-
dent has been convinced that there are
other and more effective methods OF
| handling the problem than through
the cut and dried channels of the
routine Commerce Department.
The powers which this embargo
clause gives the United States as a
factor in the politics OF the world
are too vast to be entrusted to any
but the most expert hands. They are
so vast that they make the British
blockade OF neutral ports, British
dominance of the banking world, and
even the British control OF the sea
seem insignificant.
British control of the seas was in
sufficient to check food getting into
Germany. The United States now
can do this absolutely.
Such diplomatic weapons as Great
Britain. France and Russia have
been able to use upon the neutrals
have at best proven but left-handed.
The President now has in his right
hand a weapon with which he can
deal almost a death blow.
There Is little talk of this exercise
of the embargo in Washington, but
the manner in which the exports con-
troll machinery was organized yester-
day indicated that the administra-
ton wants il cleared for action" in
every respect.
1t was predicted by diplomatic OBJ
servers here that the embargo may
prove the most important factor in
the war up to the present time. II
may mean that the United States can
force an entirely new lineup against
the central powers.
Strengthening the belief that the
embargo is one Of the most important
features OF our foreign policies, Its
machinery was organized yesterday
largely under the dominance and along
the favorite lines of Herbert Hoover.
Mr.. Hoover and the President are
| today perhaps the two men in the
government in closest touch. He II
known to have the Presidents ear
as few other officials have. The Presi.
dent accepts his advice on food mat
ters above all others.
The real source of light in the EN-.
barge situation will not be to form a
council OF Cabinet officers, but ar
advisory board of hIgh-class volunteer
experts. As at present contemplated
each member Of the export council
will appoint one OF these advisers.

between the official accounts from
Berlin and Vienna dealing with the

the Russians once again tackled the
Teuton line in a weak spot defended
by Austrians, and that the German
reserves saved the day by stopping the
