member Of the Board of Survey de-
scribed as the most superb piece OF
marine architecture he had ever seen,

line engine is the simplest OF all en-
zines TO wreck. A little piece Of steel

Within a few days after the survey
was completed every German ship in
the Port Of New York swarmed with
workmen. Here and elsewhere there
were at one time mora than 10000
workmen repairing, overhauling and
renovating the boats which, aside from
wanton injury, had greatly deteriorated
during nearly three years Of idleness.

weeks, and by the end % October all
were repaired. and at the same time
the passenger boats were converted
into transports.

Social Prevention
The Best Remedy

THE sooner We recognize the truth
openly the sooner we will find the great
problem solved. Prevention is the So
luton 10 the camp activities, as il is
to the problem OF missing girls. Pre-
yention is the highest form OF con
structiye social service for men and
women, boys and girls. The men and
women who have dealt for years with
the girl problem Of our great cities
recognize the truth. There are rooted
in all human beings elements that are
universal.
"The American man is naturally
clean instinctively. Preventive service
will only help TO keep him so. we owe
il to our boys. to our girls, TO be con-
structive civilians. II the most sue.

cities have learned in recent years

"0ur problem Of to-day must be met
without sentimentality. The problem

recognition-men are men and girls

Women of Charm
Should Work in Camp

without women standards are
bound to be lower Il is fact, not
pleasant but true, that men in herds
adopt lower standards of thought and
manners Of speech than they do
when they mingle with women. This Is
one drawback TO the life off, soldier
or sailor. The lack of woman's CON
partnership is a real problem. The
burlesque shows, which play 50 impor-
tant a part in the present problem Of
safety for the girls in the training
camp towns and vicinity. would never
have adopted the low standards they
now have IL women had patroniZed
them. II is unusual 70 see woman at
a burlesque performance. II one Is
there, she is apt not to be lady, to
say the least.
"The appeal OF the burlesque show is
TO the emotions, to the baser man. IL
tends TO increase rather than decrease
immortality around the camps or else
where. Theatrical productions ought 10
appeal to the emotions, but to the right
emotions. A play can be wholesome

of adventure hidden away in even the
shyest of US. IL can appeal 10 our bet

Oppression Spurred
Him to Action

lie was strong, reflective char
acter, of touching amicability and
easily moved TO action by distress and
injustice within his direct observation.
Therefore, be was very active in civic
betterment work at Hoboken. But he
needed the immediate contact with
suppression TO be stirred 10 action.
This popularity Of his character gives
the key to understanding the seeming
duplicity in the life Of Hans Kudlch,
whose name otherwise would, like that
Of Carl Schurz or Kossuth, be written
with golden letters in the history OF
our Civil War.
Hans Kudlich was born in 1923 in
the small town Of Lobenstein, Austria.
The son of a peasant, he was filled with
indignation over the "Erbuntertaenlg-
-serfdom-which continued N
spite OF the revocation Of the bondage
laws under the Austrian despot, Joseph
III. These serfs, without compensation,
were forced TO work for the landed no
bility about 100 days every year. The
tithes and taxes averaged 10 per cent
Of the peasants net income. While
the small farmers had. as a result OF
the reforms instituted under Joseph
II. ceased 10 be bondmen, they prae-
ticallylwere little better of until Hans
Kudlfch became the "liberator Of the
peasants" Of Austria.
His parents wanted him 10 become a
minister of the Gospel. After admis-
sion TO the University of Vienna. Kud-
Itch studied law. He took an active
mart in the revolution Of ls4S, and was
wounded on the barbados of Vienna
on March 10, 1913. He was elected a

Gives u. s. Vast
Transport Fleet

Altogether 1913 German ships and IA
Austrian were taken over, rehtted and
repaired. Their total gross tonnage IS
10000 equivalent TO about 100000
tons dead weight, which is 100000 more
than the entire merchant tonnage built
in the United States in 1916. about
equal TO the entire ocean-going mer-
chant marine of Japan before the war
and almost one-third of the American
tonnage as of June I last.
All this was attained at cost OF
only about $4,000. 900 about equal TO
the cost two super-dreadnoughts.
So, in considering the additional ton
mage the United States has with which
10 meet the requirements Of war, 1t
must be remembered that in addition 10

transports. 1t is the irony Of fate that

Remote Ships Were
Brought Here for Repairs

Some 'of the German ships were lying
IN remote ports, as in the Philippines
and the Hawaiian Islands, where facil-
tiles for repairing them were not at
hand. Except for few of the smaller
boats in the Philippines, which were
fully repaired there. temporary repairs

member of the Austrian Reichstag.
There he was one of the many with
out a name, without influence. So
called academic oratory Of abstruse
phrases, unintelligible TO the masses
was regarded as the essential trait of a
parliamentarian. The deputies uttered
many high-sounding words. but never
took action.
1t was no wonder that the revolu-
lions in Germany and Austria were
doomed. The reyolts had only one es-
sential beneficial result, and this was
due to Hans Kudlich. who, on July 26.
lS4S, introduced in the Constituent
Reichstag this notion:
"Henceforth bondage and all rights
and duties resulting therefrom are
abolished"
A storm of applause broke loose
when the secretary of the Constituen ut
Reichstag read this epochal sentence.
But the bill had no easy sailing. The
powerful benefciaries of feudalism put
forth all their strength to prevent the
passage of this act Their efforts were
in vain, when Kudlich succeeded in
winning the support Of Lesser, the elo-
quent deputy from SalZburg, one of the
best political economists in the body.
On September Z, 1913, Kudlich's motion
was passed. The peasants of Austria
were free men. Their liberation was
the first and, it must be admitted, the
only great achievement Of Kudlich.
But il makes for him a niche in the
Hall of Fame Of the worlds liberators.

Burlesque Shows
Need Improving

"The story seemed to cause little in
terest, and yet these few lines told the
big story. Morals and manners OF
towns near training camps deal with
the big, general problem of what kind
Of standards we give the men.
81 do not wish to generalize too much
on burlesque shows. There are bur-
lesques which are clean and whole
some. There are others which are un-
wholesome, filthy. The average bur-
lesque show in a small town belongs
TO this latter class. The manager of
the theatre in a small town seldom
puts up notices stating that II jokes
of certain character are used on the
stage the show will be closed.
"But, unfortunately. the average
type small town burlesque show has
standards of clothing, language.
dancing and genera! behavior quite
different from those of hostesses Of the
following night, who. in their patriot
ism and womanliness, receive the at
tendants Of the burlesque show at
dances in the social centres or in their
homes.
"The average soldier gets his ideals
Of girls in this careless way. His ideal
girl is like the snappy. sporty female
he has seen on the burlesque stage.
One of two things is bound TO happen,
and either the girl or the man. or both,
pays the price by adopting lower stand
ards.
Girls the world over are anxious to
please men. They try to be what men
want them TO be. A cosrsening Of the
standards Of girls is the inevitable re
suit. A lowering of their ideals Of be-
havior follows.
"If the girl holds TO her finer stand
ards the man is bored by the efforts
Of good society TO entertain him and
ceases TO frequent high grade parties.
He seeks his level. In either case the
results are such that we hear terrible
tales OF the immortality Of training
camp towns. Every one breads TO

lished near his or her home town, be-

theory that they would soon revert to
their original owners
That theory being adopted, the next
step was TO find way 20 wreck the
engines IN such manner that they
could be quickly repaired by their own
ers, but only slowly and tediously and
az great expense by the Americans
IL was decided that smashing the
cylinders was the thing. II would take
The Americans long time and a mint
Of money 90 build new cylinders of so
many different sizes and types, where
as 10 was an easy matter 70 have new
cylinders made in the shops in Ger

German thOrOughness, new cylinders
were ordered from German shops the
moment it was decided TO destroy those

tremendous mass fell like a guillotine

sides OF the receptacle.
In other cases the cylinders were
b'oken with their own power. A piece
of iron or steel was fastened 70 the
crosshead Of the piston and the throttle
opened As the piston drove into the
cylinder this piece was driven by ire
sistible power through the cylinder

cylinder.

smash the steam nozzles which are the
connecting links between the steam
pine and the steam chest.
Numerous small but essential parts
OF the engines were removed. These
things, however, were merely annoy

was the main form Of sabotage.

Not a Single
Bomb on the Ships

LET the Germans do it themselves"
said some one.
Mr.. Malone was called into confer
ence.
A little later the officers and en-
rinecrs Of the interned ships were
called together at Ellis Island, and Mr.
Malone made 90 them one Of the most
convincing and persuasive addresses of
his Oratorical career. The men were
impressivcly reminded that the United
states and Germany were no longer ex-
changing polite notes, but were at war.
That this being the actual situation,
any attempt by them upon the lives of
American citizens was violation of
the laws Of war, punishable by instant
death, with a stone wall background
and firing squad foreground. If they
had placed explosives on the ships, now
was their grand opportunity TO save
their own lives. II was the last call.
The men vehemently declared that no
explosives of any kind were. concealed
on any OF the ships, and offered, in
proof Of their veracity, to assist in the
survey. They were taken at their word,
and il is recorded that not ia single
bomb or any form 6f explosive was
found on any of the ships.

At first it was thought that it would
be impossible 10 patch up mapy of the
cylinders and that new ones must be
obtained. just as the Germans had call
culatei. In fact. the "dope sheets" Of
the survey recommended a great many
new cylinders, and as some of the Ger
man ships were built in England. or.
ders were cablcd to England TO have
new cylinders made in such cases. But
these orders were later countermanded.
The dismay Of the Board of Survey
when il first inspected the damaged
engines soon gave place 70 confidence
that every cylinder could be patched.
The method Of repair was quickly de-
cided upon. and within Few days every
German ship in the North Atlantic was
AZ a shipyard or machine shop. A
few Of them were repaired at navy
yards. but most of them were handled
by private concerns.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-12-02

German ships will convey to France the
major portion Of the vigorous new
army that is counted upon to smash the
German war machine.
The great German liners that were
the wonders of the sea before the war
we're designed so that they could be
easily converted into troop transports.
Possibly the designers had in mind that
some day they might carry troops west
ward across the Atlantic, perhaps to
collect a great Indemnity from the
United States; perhaps to lay the foun-
dations Of German overseas empire
somewhere in the Western Hemisphere.
Certainly, they never dreamed the
day would come when advantage would
be taken of their plans to expedite
the movement Of American troops to
Europe for the ultimate purpose Of
eliminating forever the dream of en-
pire to be attained through blood and
iron. But that is what fate has
wrought. Thanks TO German ships, the
mighty blow of the Republic will the
quicker fall upon the German legions.

years, TO do in its entirety.

Board Of Survey
Takes Over Repairs

Congress declared the existence of
a state of war with Germany on April
6. Commissioner Donald, Of the
United States Shipping Board. left
Washington that evening with full au-
thority and power 20 take over and
repair the interned ships. At :he
same time Dudley Field Malone, Col
lcctor Of the Port, and as yet free
from Bolsheyik faint, rounded up the
crews Of all the German ships in New
York, and instructions were flashed
by cable, wireless and telegraph TO
every American port 10 take the crews
Of German ships into custody and be-
gin repairs with all possible speed.
Mr.. Donald consulted with engineers
and shipping men all night, and by
morning had constituted board of
survey made up Of the most prominent
consulting engineers and surveyors Of
New York. as follows: Frank s. Mar
tin, chairman; Stevenson Taylor, J.
Rowland Gardner, George r. Robinson
and Robert MacGregor.
The first thing this board did was 10
appoint a chief engineer and engine
room crew for each ship. Then a host
Of junior surveyors and engineers
were impressed into service for the
stupendous task Of infinitely examin-
ing each ship from the smokestack and
masts down to the lowest recesses Of
the remotest holds.
Caution was necessary. Each ship
might be vast internal machine load
ed with concealed bombs. To press
an electric button, remove a hatch,
open a door or turn nut might mean
a terrific explosion. The board Of
surveyors felt. great responsibility
Tor the lives Of the men they were
placing on the ships. How to locate
the possible explosives WAS the prob
lem
