Association at their thirtieth annual

the apparently growing sentiment
against the war in the United States:
Robert Collyer, director of the Train
ing School for Community Workers,
urged that there be developed in the
nation "the will to war" The outcome
of the war, he said, depended upon the
cultivation of this spirit.

S25, 900 Cabled to Aid
Poor in Jerusalem

Twenty-Five thousand dollars was
cabled to Jerusalem yesterday by the
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief TO relieve the destitute
civil population which the British dis
covered on their entrance into the
CITY. AS soon as arrangements can be
perfected through the American consul
late in Jerusalem 100000 more will be
sent to be distributed iwpartially
among the Jews, Moslems and Christ
ians OF the city, who are in desperate
need of food, clothing and medical
supplies.
Charles II. Vickrey, secretary Of the
Armenian Relief Committee in the
Metropolitan Life Building, said last
light that a cablegram from Cairo,
sent through the State Department at
Washington, revealed truly terrible
conditions in the Holy City. There are
more than $4,000 starving people in
Jerusalem alone, and the whole coun-
trvside is in need OF food, said the
message. The British military authori-
ties have opened emergency hospitals
and have offered the American relief
workers all possible transportation
facilities over the military railroad
from Cairo to Jerusalem

Goethals Urges
Vehicle Tunnel
Under the Hudson
Three Years and $4,000.
600 Would Complete the
Project, He Reports

The sub-Hudson vehicular tunnel
project, long deemed fantasy by
many honest critics, has received Cen
eral George w. Goethals's stamp OF
approval. The plan to connect New
Jersey with New York By land pre-
sented few obstacles TO the man who
linked the Atlantic and Pacific with
water. Three years and $l2,OOO,OOO
would do it, he said in a report sub
mitted 20 the New York and New Jer-
sey Hudson River Bridge and Tunnel
commissions at a meeting held at 115
Broadway. General Goethals was re-
tained as consulting engineer by the
New Jersey commission.
T. Alheus Adams, of Montclair, y. j.,
vice-chairman of the New Jersey COM
mission, declared yesterday that the
construction Of the tunnel was Of
prime importance, particularly in view
of the war, as such a highway would
render New York virtually Independent
Of weather conditions when it came 70
getting coal or other supplies. The
congestion Of the port would be re-
lieyed 70 a great extent, he pointed
out, ii waterfront warehouses and
piers on the Jersey side could be
cleared Of the burden of supplies
whose ultimate destination was New
York. lie was confident that the tun-
mel and the motor truck would accom-
plish this.
In an estimate furnished to General
Goethals by John F. ORourke, of the
O'Rourke Engineering Construction
Company, the cost of the tunnel was
placed at S12,00O,O0O, and Mr.. O'Rourke
promised that it would be ready for
Use within three years.
Genera Goethals recommended a
single tunnel rather than a pair, but
ne suggested that the single tube be
large enough TO provide a double
deckcd roadway, the lower level for
slow moving vehicles and the upper
for fast cars. The 0'Rourke company
suggested roadways Of sufficient width
TO accommo late three streams of traf-
fic each.
"A question which has been brought
up. IN connection with vehicular tun-
hel3 for motor driven vehicles which
merits consideration" General Goe-
that's said, "since it has been asserted
that such tunnels are not practicable, is
based on the belief that carbon monox-
lde viii be present in dangerous guam
tltles. he insidious and dangerous
effects OF the poisonous gases are not
to be deprecated. BY theoretical dis
cussion attempts have been made to
show that the air in tunnel porme-
ated by such gases would be injurious
to health.
THE fact remains, however, that
motor vehicles operate through the
tunnels under the Thames River with
cut disastrous results, and these have
no artificial ventilation. That the tun-
nels in question have not the length

scarcely valid objection, since, by
vent lation, the sections of the former
can be duplicated in the latter, and Il
would be fair to- assume that the re-
suits will be tho same"

Slovak Art Exhibited
Bohemian Work Shown at the
METROPOLITAN Museum

A group OF drawings in color by a
little Slovak girl occupies a prominent
case at the exhibition of CzechSlovak
art, recently placed on display in Glass
room d at the Metropolitan Museum.
The Bohemian peasant art shown is the
work of the Slavs, who, not having been
driven out By the Teutons, Magyars or
Turks, stretch across Central Europe in
a ragged belt, forming a wedge between
the Germans on the one hand and the
Magyars on the other.
The exhibition is of especial interest
at this time because the Bohemians
are separated from their relatives, the
Russians, and their relatives, the Croa-
tians, Slavonians and Serbs, and either
the German agyarTurkish coalition
or the advance of the English, French
and Russians will mean their practical
humiliation.
The handwork at the museum shows
the influence of Rome, Byzantium and
Russia, as at different periods Bohemia
mediated between the Latin and Slavic
civilizations from east TO west and be-
tween the Byzantine and Russian cult
ures from north to south. Convention
allied tulip and confronted bird designs
are in evidence in the embroidery,
which il worked in vivid color, enliv-
ened with sequins and metallic thread.
There is an abundance Of cross stitch
on canvas and of darned and pillow
lace. A variety Of Bohemian peasant
costumes, including head handkerchiefs,
jackets, LODGES, aprons and skirts, are
shown, together with some genuine
pieces of pottery and Bohemian glass
and limitations made by Bohemians in
the United States.

War and the Railroads
:.~;;tv Orders That Work Posteriority Respon-
Nh. .;hle for damned Railway Terminals and
Subsequent Lack of Necessaries
at Needy Points
BY Theodore M. Knappen

Board, above mentioned. empowers Off
Gals representing the government in
general, the army, the navy and the
Shipping Board to file orders with the
Car Service Commission TO produce
cars at any cost at any point from
which a shipment on government ac-
count of ten cars or more IS contom-
plated. Then these same officials and
their multitude Of agents. as well as
all Of the hundreds of shippers OF gov
eminent goods. are furnished with q
special way bill envelope, which they
are instructed 10 send with all carload
shipments Of government goods, and
these envelopes mean, 70 quote the
order, Cars accompanied by these
envelopes must be given continuous
movement and must not be delayed"
regardless of the name of the con-
signee. Finally, all railway employees
are told TO respect these priority en-
velopes, even though they suspect they
are being abused.
Imagine the confusion that ensues
when priority cars get mixed up IN
trains and in terminals with cars not
so marked and throng OF government
traffic representatives beSiege the yard
masters with insistcnt demands that
the movement Of the cars be expedited.
This is one of the features OF arbi-
trary governmental meddling with the
movement Of freight that makes oper-
ating officials dread the possibilities OF
direct government control and why
they think the situation may best be
met by means Of the creation of a
government director OF transportation,
with large discretionary powers. who
will work hand-in-glove with the rail-
ways in enabling them TO adjust gov
eminent requirements TO actual trans
narration conditions
