Dairy Lunch"
One spot in No Mans Land which
the Germans used 10 visit has now
been closed TO them by the activity
OF the American snipers. 4 single
apple tree was spared by the shell
fire and on some days the French

on other days the Germans picked

This particular sharpshooter missed

he sent him scUrrying back to his

The patrols at night sometimes
take shelter behind the walls and
try to find cheer in the room where

The French maintain that on dark
nights the ghosts of cognac, or bur

about, in and out of the broken
windows, and that a lucky Ponu
may sometimes detect a ghost, or
an inner warmth and a tingle from
some drink that is gone.
Sometimes it is a German patrol

increase the morale of American
armies to a wonderful extent, and
will enable America to crush Kaiser

Mr.. Nanderlip declared that goods

The recurrence of disastrous fires

aroused the Department of Justice.
Following the Cabinet meeting yes

It be known that within a few days
important notifications to the regu-
lations with regard to the movements
of aliens within restricted zones will
be put into effect
What these changes will be Mr..
Gregory refused to indicate. It Is
generally considered, however. that
they will consist in a Tightening of
the regulations under which permits
for aliens to enter the barred zones
are issued and the development of
plans in co-oTC ration with local no.
lice authorities for the more stringent
enforcement OF the regulations.
1t is admitted that in New York
City the problem is very severe. With
the large foreign population and the
necessarily huge traffic to and from
the waterfront, it is next to impos-
sible to inspect all those who approach

as practically impossible to remove

McADOO OUTLINES PLAN
FOR WAR THRIFT CLUB
81, 600, 100000 Will Be Raised for Financing
Fight Against Kaiser by Selling Savings
Stamps to Cost from 25c to 81.
BEAR 4 PER CENT INTEREST

Details Of the plan to decentralize
the control OF Americas thrift club to
be organized during 1918 were given
to the members of the National Press
Club last night by Secretary McAdoo
and Frank A Vanderlip, the Neg
York banker who will be the adminis-
traitor of the campaign.
1t is planned TO raise 5000, 0O0, 600 in
this manner. and the size of loans
scales as tow as % cents. These will
be purchased in the same fashion that
postage stamps are purchased. Four
dollars worth of them plus the diff
ference to make up the war savings
certificate cost may be exchanged for
the regular s. certificates at any time.
With the first war savings stamp
bought the purchaser will obtain a
war saving certificate containing
spaces for twenty such stamps. If
the twenty spaces are filled by the
end of January, 1918, the cost to the
purchaser for the certificate will have
been SS2.40 and on January /, 1923, he
Will receive 500 for it, giving him
$3.50 for the use of his money.
Bear 4 Per Cent Interest.
Thrift stamps. costing IS cents
each. are to be affixed to thrift
cards. Thrift stamps will not bear
interest, but a thrift card, when
filled at a cost of sLO0, may be ex-
changed for a war-savings stamp

SHIPPING BOARD +.
SECURING WORLD
FOR VESSELS
u. S. to Release Steel to
Japan for 100000 Tons
Of Shipping.

The United States Shipping Board
and the War Trade Board are scour-
ing the world for ships. 1t became
known yesterday that ships are now
forming the principle basis Of nego-
tiation between the United states and
a half dozen other nations.
The negotiations between this coun-
try and Japan are reported to be ap-
preaching a satisfactory conclusion
whereby the United States will re-
lease some 10000 tons of steel plates
to Japan in return for some 30O, coo
tons of shipping. In the same way
negotiations are under way with some
Of the northern neutrals whereby food
will be released to them Immediately
II their ships are chartered to the
United States for the cause of the
allies.
The anxiety of the Shipping and
War Trade boards to secure vessels
already built is sharpened by delays
to our own building program which
now seem inevitable.
In the case of Japan the only hitch
reported in the program is the natu-
raj desire of Japan to keep as many
Of her vessels as possible in the
comparative safety of the Pacific. The
urgency of the United States in de-
manding these vessels for the trans
Atlantic trade has been accentuated
by the developments of the Russian
situation. With the practical elm
ination of Russia as an aggressive
factor in the war it is considered
likely that shipments to that coun-
try across the Pacific will not be
hastened. The plans for the double
tracking of the trans-Siberian Rail-
way are going forward, but only
such material as can roll on its own
wheels is now going into Vladivo-
stock.
In the case of the northern neutrals
all of them have expressed willing
ness to let the United States and the
allies have ships in return for i'm
mediate releases of food. The United
States has insisted that the food will
not be released under any considera-
ton, however, until the War Trade
Board has been satisfied that none Of
1t will get into Germany. The data
by which the northern neutrals have
hoped to prove this has not yet been
completely submitted to the board.
