TO AID IN MEETING FARM
LABOR SHORTAGE.
Survey Commission Will Take Active
Steps In This Direction.

To aid in meeting the shortage
of farm labor throughout the State,
the Maryland Preparedness and Sur
yey Commission has created Farm
Labor Bureau Committee, with w.
H. Manss, head of the Industrial
Department of the B. & o. r. r. as
Chairman, and composed chiefly OF
men who are closely In touch with
the supply of labor in Baltimore
City. N. NJ Parrott, Of the Adver-
tising Club of Baltimore, is Secre-
tary.
A census will at once be taken OF
the farm labor situation. Blanks
for this purpose are being sent to
every County Agent, to De filled out
by the farmers, and returned to the
County Agent, who with the Chair
man of the County Agents Advisory
Committee of the County Prepared
ness and Survey Commission will act
as a local County Committee to CO.
operate with Baltimore Head
quarters.
Meanwhile an extensive puhlicit'
campaign is to be started in Balti-
more. Volunteers for farm work
will apply to the United States En-
ployment Service, which is earnestly
cooperative in the work. The in
tention is to have this bureau at the
city end, and the county agents at
the county end act as the go-between
for the distribution of the help
among the farmers as needed.
This work is under way, and will
be rushed as fast as possible so as
TO get help to the farmers before
the planting season is over. Later
on it is planned, in addition, to send
out gangs of men to be housed and
boarded as in construction camp, the
Committee appreciating that if the
farmers are to sow greater acreage,
they must be assured the additional
labor necessary during the harvest
period.

Wrong To Bet At County Fairs, But

GERMAN SAILOR GIVES FIRST HAND ACCOUNT
 OF LOSS OF FLAGSHIP LUTZOW AT JUTLAND

upon it cooly. Hundreds have lost their lives, while many have lain for hours in torture, and the fight is not yet over. The bow is now crushed in and is entirely submerged. The four screws are already sticking half out Of the water, so that the Lutzow can only make s to 10 knots an hour, as against the normal S2.
 "The Admiral decides to transfer to the Moltke. He gives orders to turn and get away from the scene of the fight but the Lutzow has not gone a mile before she receives a broadside of 3S-eentimeter shells. The entire ship was filled with the poisonous fumes of shells, and anyone who fail ed to afiix his gasmask was doomed to be suirocated.
 "It was three-quarters of an hour before the lighting installation was re- stored. Then for the first time could the extent of the damage wrought by the salvo be seen. One of the shells had landed in the sick bay. Here there were three doctors and fifteen attend ants besides 160 to 1S0 wounded. Of all these only four remained alive.

These four werehurled into the next compartment by the air pressure; they lay there unconscious.
 "The Lutzow was now a complete wreck. Corpses drifted past. From the blows up to the first 30-centimeter gun-turret the ship lay submerged. The other gun-turrets were complete ly disabled, with the guns sticking out in all directions. On deck lay the bod ies of the sailors in their torn uni forms, in the midst of the empty shell cases. From the masts fluttered torn flags twisted signal lines and pieces of wire of the wireless installation. Had not the lookout man and the three of iicers on the commanders bridge giv- en signs of life, the LutZow would have truly resembled ship of the dead Below, on the battery deck and in the coal bunkers, there still lay in- numerable wounded, but there was no longer a doctor to attend to them.
 Night came on and hope was en- tertained of getting away without a further encounter. But at 3 o'clock in the night news of the approach of two British cruisers and five destroyers was received and just at that critical time the fore and middle bulkheads gave way.
 "Orders were given to quickly carry the wounded to the stern. Then the order rings out: All hands muster in

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July 10, (Mail Correspondence). - Scenes on board the German flagship Lutzow during the Jutland naval battle when some of the newest and largest of the German battle cruisers were battered or sunk by Admiral Beatty'S British squadron in June, 1916, are vividly de scribed by P. Krug, one of the Lut- zow's survivors in a pamphlet which has just been published here. It is be- lieved to be the first detailed story of that great battle from the point of view of the German sailor to reach the public eye.
 Torpedoed by a British warship early in the engagement the Lutzow, which was the flagship of Admiral Ripper, was hammered unmercifully by the big guns of the British vessels, and soon became a complete wreck a "ship of the dead as krug des- scribeS her.
 According to his story twenty-Seven German sailors were trapped in the Diesel dynamo room before the battle had been long in progress and remain ed there when the Lutzow, a disabled hulk, was abandoned and sent to the bottom by a torpedo from a German destroyer. Two of these imprisoned men had been driven insane and were kept tied by their shipmateS.
 After describing the first part of the battle and telling how the arrival Of British battleship turned the tables on the Germans, Krug writes:
 Suddenly the entire ship is roughly shaken. The colossus heaves far over, and everything that is not fixed IS up set. The first direct hit! The torpedo pierces the fore part of the ship. Its effects are terrible. Iron, wood, metal, parts of bodies, smashed ships imple- ments are all intermiXed, and the cleo trio light, by chance spared, continues to shine upon this sight.
 "Two decks lower in the Diesel dy- namo room, there is still life. That compartment has not been hit, and 27 men in the prime of life have been spared, but the chamber is shut off from all others, for the water is rush ing into all sections. They are doomed to death Several 3S centimeter shells souarely hit the mark, working terri ble havoc. The first hit the wireless department. Of the twelve living men who a moment ago were seated before the apparatus, there is nothing more to be seen. Nothing is left but smOk- ing heap of ruins. The second shot again pierced the fore part of the ship. The entire fore part of the vessel, as far as the Diesel motor room was past saving. Another broadside meant for the Lutzow fell short, but torpedo boat close by disappeared, leaving only a few odd pieces of wood and broken lifeboat drifting round. It is now half past seven, and the hostile circle grows ever smaller The Lutzow and the Seydlitz lie with their bows deep in the water; both are badly mauled. The fore part of the Lutzow was in flames. Shells burst against the ships side in rapid succession. A terrible sight is presented on board the Lut- zow, and it needs iron nerves to look

division order abaft.' A tumult arises on the lower deck, for everybody is now bent on saving his life. It is im- possible in that short space of time to bring up all the wounded, for they are scattered everywhere. Eighteen men had the good fortune to be carried up, but all the rest who could not walk or crawl had to be left behind.
 "The 27 men shut up in the Diesel dynamo chamber had heard the order through the speaking tube, for many, mad with anguish, screamed through the tube for help and it was learned that two of the number lay bound be- cause they had become insane. Inspir- ed by their sense of duty, these sealed up men had continued to carry on their work in order to provide the ship with light.
 "The torpedo-boats now quickly took off the crew of the Lutzow and those left behind were doomed to death. It was resolved that no piece of the yes sel should fall into the enemy's hands. Just then seven men were to be seen running like madmen round the rear deck. Over-fatigued as they were, they had apparently dropped off to sleep and only just awakened. As the tor pedo exploded, the Lutzow's bow quickly dipped, and the stern rose un- til she stood on end. Then she heeled over and sank, forming a great whirl- pool that carried everything within it into the depths.
 "When the roll was called it ap- peared that there were 1903 surviv- ors of the Lutzow; 597 men had per ished in the battle"

Distributing The
New War Burdens

George L. Record in discussing the
plans for .raising the war taxes says:
cit seems now probable that one
of the great results of the war will
be the absolute destruction of auto
cratic power, and with it the power
of any few men to involve any ma
ton in war.
"The Kaiser will have to go as the
Gar has gone.
eff Germany isb eaten a republic
will be born in Germany. The same
thing is true of Austria-Hungary.
Zone of the first things to do is
to help create public opinion which
will sustain President Wilson in CON-
pelling the rich to bear the expense
of the war. The President in his ad-
dress to Congress committed him
self definitely to his principle as far
as it was possible to apply it.
eff we enlarge the income tax so
that the bulk of all incomes over ten
thousand dollars a year are taken for
war purposes we will easily be able
to pay the expenses of the war as
they accrue. If the poor sacrifice
their lives there is no injustice in
forcing the rich to sacrifice their
luXuries."

State To Aid In
7. B. Defense Survey

The New Jersey Tuberculosis
League has offered it's cooperation
to the National tuberculosis Asso-
citation in making it's survey of the
tuberculosis situation with view to
combating the disease among the
American troops. This survey is
being undertaken by the National
Association at the request of the
Council of National Defense
Every hospital, sanatorium and di-
spensary, or other agency for the
care of the tuberculsous in the state
is receiving a letter from the COM
mittee in charge of the survey, which
consists of DR.. Norman NJ Biggs,
New York State Commissioner cf
Health, DR.. George M. Kober, of
Washington, and DR.. Charles j. Hat
field, executive secretary of the Ma
tional Association. This letter asks
each agency to fill in blanks stating
the number of beds available for ad-
vanced and iacipient cases, what
facilities they have for charging
their plants, whether they. would be
able to do this without government
aid and how many of their staff mem
bers could accept appointments as
members of the Medical Reserve
Corps.
In addition the National Associa-
ton is working out plan whereby
the state and local association can
cooperate with educational propa-
ganda or concrete aid. The New
Jersey League is preparing sugges-
tons as to the part it will be pre-
pared to take.
The survey will endeavor to list
the facilities of the country for the
treatment and care of soldiers,
prisoners and interned civilians who
may become victims Of the disease,
and to insure the use of such pre-
cautionary and preventative measures
as may save American troops from
disastrous spread of tuberculosis.
The first step in a national cam
paign for the prevention of tubercu-
losis in the army will be medical ex-
animation of recruits for the pur-
pose of detecting incipient cases. This
must be done by experts and the COM
mittee will suggest names of those
who will join the Medical Reserve
Corps. The next step is the formula
ton of a plan by experts to prevent
the spread of the disease among the
armed forces. These plans will be
embodied in a report.
The third measure will be to place
in the hands of the government ac-
curate information about all the
agencies which will be depended upon
to help in case of necessity.

Women Club Notes

The Free Borough entertainment
arranged for Friday of this week was
postponed on account of the elocu-
ton evening at the High School.
Remember the borough entertain
ment for April II. Full notice in an
other column.
The address and afternoon tea, on
Thursday afternoon, was greatly en-
joyed by a large gathering of women
in the hospitable home of Mrs. P. E.
Brundage.
Delicious refreshments were served
to the many guests by Mrs. Dicken-
son, Mrs. Venables, Mrs. Wharton
and Mrs. Bull, Mrs. Sammis presided
at the tea table.
A social hour was enjoyed, and fol-
lowing piano solo by Mrs. Moore,
Mrs. Dickinson, chairman of the Edu-
cational Department, introduced Mrs.
Pietnizsky, the speaker of the after
noon, on the subject of the 'Immi-
grant Woman and her Needs"
Mrs. Pietnizsky is woman of
pleasing personality and of large ex-
perience as member of the State
Board of Health, of Housing Com
missions and as social settlement
worker, in many states of our Union.
In addition to this her residence in
different countries abroad gives her
deep insight into the life and needs
of the foreign born who come to our
shores.
She laid particular stress on the
fact that worker among our immi-
grants must live among them in order
to be of real help at any time of
day or night, ready to go out to them
or to extend hospitality to them in
her own neat rooms which would be
a constant example of the right kind
of a home.
She made the fact clear that the
women need the close social touch
and constant teaching to impress
upon them American standards and
ideals, for most of these women COM
ing from the lowest classes, have no
of morals, of hygiene, of obedience to
law, or of the bringing up of chill
dren.
The latter is made particularly diff
fcult by the children's education in
our schools which gives them dan
gerous feeling of superiority and dis
regard for any parental authority.
This first generation of children
born in America and brought up in
these un-American homes are the
future burglars and prostitutes and
saloon loafers.
The conditions of these so-called
homes Zone room for large family
and the result of such conditions were
forcibly presented.
The remedy for much of this misery
and the salvation for our country
lies in the hands of the social worker,
in the elimination of the saloon, in
the education of the adult immigrant
who will be no longer in such an in
ferior position to his children, and
in the religious uplift and ideal, for
so many of these people, young and
old, say, 'there is no God in
America"
