Men Cheer News That New
York Division May Reach
France by Fall
Preparations Rushed
Bell Confers with Organ on
Plans for Departure to
Spartanburg, S. c.

Major General J. Franklin Bell, com
mander Of the Department of the East,
visited New York National Guard
headquarters in the Municipal Building
Yesterday and conferred for an hour
with Major General John F. Organ
concerning the departure Of New York
troops for Camp Wadsworth. at Spar
tanburg, s. c.
Since the mobilization and muster
OF the Guard into Federal service on
Monday General Organ has been re-
sponsible to Governors Island, where
the regular army officers have been in
constant touch with the work that is
being done to prepare the state troops
for their training for foreign service.
The regular officers are assisting wher-
ever they can to expedite prepara-
tions.
Guardsmen. from General Organ on
down, were elatei yesterday by the
news from Washington that New York
soldiers would be in France by Novem-
Der. General Organ said the report
sounded reasonable to him, as the divi-
sion was in great shape and could not
get overseas a minute too soon.
The physical condition Of the state
troops astonishes the regular army
surgeons who are giving the rigid new
examinations. The tests have been
going on since Monday at the 69th
Regiment Armory and not a single man
has been rejected. Although Colonel
Reed was severe in the examinations
he gave his men before they were mus
tered into Federal service, he did not
anticipate this. Accordingly he re-
cruited his regiment to 200 over war
strength. so as to have men TO replace
those physically disqualified. Now IT
looks as if the recruits would be LETT
behind.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, ir., son Of the
commander of the 22d Engineers, en-
listed yesterday in the field artillery
section of the ammunition train. He
was assigned 10 the 18th Company, and
after he had gone ou, and bought HIM
self uniform was assigned TO clerical
work at the armory at Sixty-eightn
street and Columbus Avenue.

Women Volunteers
Wanted to AidU.S.
In Canning I omatoe:
They Are Called For to Fill
Labor Shortage in Canneries

WANTED-Youne women to skin
tomatoes for the government IN the
Food Reserve Corps canneries.
This is the call issued yesterday by
the Federal Employment Service and
the bureau Of registration and informa-
tion of the National League for
Women's Service. Young women who
are strong in body and anxious to serve
their country are asked to give up their
summer vacation TO saving the surplus
food which is going to waste in the
farming sections because Of the short
age of masculine labor. The statement
of the league is as follows:
"The demands which the war is max
ing upon industries have left the cam
neries, always hampered by their highly
seasonal nature and irregular hours,
with a serious labor shortage. There
are not enough unemployed women
wage earners to make up the deficit, but
there are many vigorous young women
without home ties or cares who could
do their bit by coming forward to meet
the call for food conservation.
THE output of the canning factories
part to the government TO help feed
Oul SOlulSAo anu SN4ASASb VI W WA
allies.
"The work in the canneries is just
beginning and will last about rHo
months. 1t will all be paid for on the
piece work plan. Most of the women
will be wanted TO skin tomatoes, and
the amount of the earnings will vary
with the workers dexterity. While the
work is not difficult, the continued ap-
plication will be hard, especially at
first, for women not accustomed to
factory work, and will be test Of
their willingness TO serve their country.
Women and girls are being organ
lied into groups of ten each, with a
woman leader for each group. She will
take the responsibility for the COM
fort and wellbeing Of the workers.
Special efforts are being made to pro-
vide suitable living accommodations
near the canneries. A plain service
uniform with the letters F. r. c. will
be supplied at cost.
college women and teachers have
already volunteered TO act as leaders
and TO serve in the ranks, but prefer
ence in all cases will be given TO wom-
en- dependent on their wages for their
living"
Those wishing TO enlist should ap-
ply at the Offices Of the bureau in the
Southern Building, Washington, D. c.
The call for women has the support of
Herbert c. Hoover and Secretary
Wilson.

u. S. Squadron to Visit
Buenos Ayres Soon

Washington, July 1S.-The visit to
Buenos Ayres Of the American naval
squadron now in South Atlantic waters
will be made in "A few days. Secretary
Daniels to-day formally announced the
acceptance Of Argentina's invitation
which came while the squadron was
visiting other South American coun-
tries.
Admiral Caperton was instructed TO
pay the visit at his convenience, ana II
is believed here the call may do much
10 remove some of the slight strain
that has been created between the two
countries by Argentina's apparent re,
luctance 10 join Brazil in her stand
against Germanys methods OF war.
With Argentina standing aloof, Ad-
miral Caperton's work is regarded as
most difficult, because OF the possible
offence that might be given either 0y
his own ships or by those of the Bra
lillian government following German
craft into waters of the Argentina
coast.
Uruguayan waters which lie between
those Of Brazil and Argentina have
been declared by Uruguay open to such
operations, and until similar rights are
conceded by Argentina it Is realized
that the time might come when the
flight Of an enemy craft into neutral
Argentina waters might prove en-
harrassinQ

Neutrals Present
Their Protests
Against Embargo
Statements Submitted Show
Disposition of Commodities
Received from u. S.
LFron The Trihune Bureaul

Washington, July 1s.-All the neu-
trail countries of Europe have sub
mitted statements TO the United States
concerning their export trade, and sew
eral have protested their innocence OF
charges that they have been selling
to Germany commodities purchased in
the United States.
It is not expected by the State De-
partment that there will be formal
correspondence with the neutrals such
as took place among America and
Britain and America and Germany re-
lating to neutral rights. State De-
partment officials believe all the dit-
fculties arising from export restric-
tions affecting the neutral countries
can be adjusted by negotiation.
II was disclosed to-day that Great
Britain has made many guarantees TO
neutral countries in consideration OF
concessions made by the neutrals, and
will not insist upon an absolute ces-
sation of commerce by the rest of the
WCrlQ WIN Inem. Inc comp!ele eA-
tent Of these agreements is not known,
but they were necessary, it was stated
by An authority to-day, to make the
British blockade of Germany most
effective.
L. S. Goods Reached Germany
The blockade was enforced by patrol,
visit and search. and prize court pro-
ceedings, supplemented by agreements
with the neutral countries regarding
the rationing system for the neutrals,
by which Britain was assured that
goods bought in America and trans
ported TO the neutral countries would
not be re-exported into Germany.
Despite these agreements, however,
large quantities of goods purchased in
tho United States did find their way
into Germany, but the British system
had reached it's maximum Of efficiency
before America entered the war The
export policy of the United States will
supplement and perfect the British
blockade, and it is believed this gov
ernment will respect the agreements
between Britain and the neutral coun-
tries.

Mcmillan S arty
Lacks Food; No Relief
Before August |
Letters from DR.. Hovey. of
Rescue Expedition, Re-
veals Shortage

The Crocker Land Expedition, under
the leadership of DR.. Edmund Otis
Hovey, may be suffering from food
shortage if the steam sealer Neptune,
which on July was sent TO the relief
of the explorers, has not reached the
scientist. The Neptune was expected to
arrive on August /. 1t sailed under
the command of Captain Robert A.
Bartlett.
The trials Of the expedition are sug-
gested in letters from Dr. Hovey to DR..
Henry Fairfield Osborn, president Of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, and to George II. Sherwood, as
slstant secretary Of the museum. The
letters bear the date of November 10
and December s, 1916. DR.. Hovey, who
is curator of geology of the museum.
was sent North to rescue the party un-
der command Of DR.. Duncan b. Mac
MILAN. which has been doing scientific
research work in the Far North FOR
several years.
"A close estimate made in the au-
tumn of 1918 showed that there are
provisions enough on hand for the sus-
tenance of the seven men OF the stan
for another year." DR.. Hovey wrote to
DR.. Osborn. There was not, however,
an average of two men here during the
year, the others being at North Star
Bay. on the Cluet, on their way home
ward The result is that there are now
-four. for the four men who are here 70
supply our wants until next fall. If no
relief comes next year, which we be-
leve most unlikely to happen, we shall
be unable to heat the house, our supply
of white mans food will be extremely
limited. If not exhausted, and we shall
be obliged TO distribute ourselves
among Esquimau igloos here and else
where and live like natives"
DR.. Hovey stated that the food on
hand is remarkably good, considering
the fact that most of it is over four
wears old. As for news Of the war, the
supply is meagre. They were posted
ND to March. 1915. DR.. Hovey says he
and his companions are puzzling over
the Presidential election.
DR.. Macmillan, according to DR..
Hovey. has secured a splendid collec-
ton Of scientific data. great collec-
tion of skins, skulls. skeletons Of land
and sea animals, large number OF
bird skins and eggs, much of old and
new Esquimau materials, and 1000 to
5000 photographs. He had made many
meteorological records and was en-
gagged in compiling an Esquimau-Eng-
lish dictionary, comprising more than
5000 words.
had been set up in the Far North, and
had been running for year when he
wrote. DR.. Hovey's letter Of December
s. 1916, was written at Etah, Greenland.
