Establish Labor Bureaus.

Copenhagen, June pa German
industrial bureau has been established
in Brussels for the purpose of recruit
ing Belgian labor for German war in
dustries and Belgian women for farm
work. The official announcement
mentions the voluntary nature of
the recruiting but does not specify the
conditions. The details are available
on application to the local trade bu-
reau and laborers can only return to
Belgium with the permission of mill
tary authorities.
The Belgian provinces have refused
to meet the increased war contribu-
ton of 6O,00O,00O marks monthly
which the Germans have now imposed
on them. In the same fashion as for
merly the Germans have forced con-
tributions from the banks. The banks
are given these securities of the two
year bonds for which the provinces
are responsible, the amount covering
six months contributions.

Desperate Artillery Raging
Along French Front.
French Guns Reply Shell for
Shell in Titanic Struggle.

Paris, June 2o.-A titanic artillery
struggle is in progress on the greater
part of the French front. today's war
office statement revealed. Between
the Ailette and Moulin Laffaux and in
sections east of CzhreuX wood and
north of Rheims this fire was heaviest
from the German batteries. A violent
bonn bardment of French positions was
directed there late at night Along
the Champagne front it was more of
duel of violence, guns on both sides
roaring increasingly thruout the night.
The Germans unsuccessfully at
tackled a small post near Monts Teton
and Cornillet and further west, fol-
lowing a bombardment," the state
ment continued. 1.-The German attack
was dispersed and thrown back to the
German trenches from which it start
ed"
The violence CT the German artil-
lery fire suggests the possibility that
Hindenburg may be preparing
counter offensive move against the
French. During the last three days
the German fire has been intense.
The positions under bombardment are
mainly those commanding the valleys
leading up to Laon, taken by the
French in their April offensive drive.

Mrs. HumistOn Makes ST 900 Reward
NucleuS-HeIp Find Missing Girls.

New York, June 2O.-The $1,000 re-
ward which Miss Cruger's father had
offered for his daughters recovery,
it was announced today, will be the
nucleus of a Ruth Cruger fund. which
will be used to aid in the search for
missing girls. Mrs. Humiston had
received the reward but returned it.
While renewed digging in the cellar
of Cocchfs shop was in progress, a
piece of charred bone and various ar
ticles of girls clothing found there
last week, were placed in room at
the district attorneys office so they
may be viewed by relatives of miss
ing girls. Members of the Cruger fam
lily were unable to identify these ar
ticles. Commissioner Woods issued a
statement urging parents of girls to
report circumstances of men paying
suspicious attention to their daugh-
terS.
Mrs. Humiston said today it was
most imperative that the government
should make Cocchis return certain
and if a statement could be obtained
from him he will involve so many
important people the case will be one
of the most sensational ever experience
ed in this country"

MUST TAKE CHANCES
Men Drafted Into Army Cannot
Choose Department.

Washington. June 2O.-Men drafted
into the new armies by selective con-
scription will, to a great extent, have
to take their chances as to the branch
of service in which they want to serve.
An announcement by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder today stated
that the assignments to the different
branches would be made at the dis
erection of the war department.
Most of the men brought into the
army by selection are for the infantry.
The draft is for the army alone-in
no cases are men to be assigned to the
navy.
In the program of exemption reg
ulations by President Wilson, provi-
sions are made for physical examine
ton of men drawn for service who are
absent from the place of registration
Must Find Out If You're Drafted
The war department places the bur-
den of learning whether or not they
are drafted wholly upon the abSenteeS.
1t was suggested today that they make
arrangements with friends to notify
them at once if drawn by the lottery.
Another official announcement eau
tons eligible men that because they
escape the first or subsequent levy,
that they are noe released from liabil-
ity to service.
Absentees are warned that the gov
eminent cannot pay their expenses or
reimburse them for travelling eX-
penses incident TIC reporting for ply
steal examinations or actual service.
Thousands of wanderers" who reg
istered by mail in their home towns
are affected by this order.
General Crowder points out that
there are two kinds of exemptions,
permanent and conditional. All occu-
pational exemptions will probably be
cor ditional and the exemption will
cease when the holder changes into
another industry.

The Mail Tubes Retained

BY decisive vote the Senate has put an
end to Postmaster General Burleson' S
scheme to curtail the mail tube service
here and abolish it in other cities. More
over, it has commanded him to spend for
tube service and for no other purpose the
money appropriated, which is one step
further than the House went, but Is alto
gether in accord with the sentiment IN
that branch of Congress, as was indicated
by the vote in favor of the tubes and
against Mr.. Burleson's proposed substltu-
ton of automobile trucks. Thus for an
other year, at least, the country can be
assured of prompt and efficient handling OF
first class mail, and business men need not
worry about the losses and inconvenience
which slower system of handling letters
would bring to them.
New York City particularly will rejoice
at this settlement of the question because 1t
will mean, here, freedom from serious COM
plication of the already highly serious
traffic problem. Congress has decided
against the wishes of Mr.. Burleson, not
only not to inconvenience business but not
to loose on the public of this city big fleet
of life-destroying mail trucks in addition
to those now at large. For this considera-
ton the city viii pays the latest profits
of all into the Postal Department is duly
grateful. It's hope is that some arrange
ment may later be made by which the
government may lease the tubes on long
term contract, or acquire ownership out
right, whereby the danger which has
threatened may never threaten again.

Pacihsts and Others

We confess that we cannot get excited
over the contortions and rhetoric Of the
out-and-out pacifsts. These simple people
do not worry us. Their extravaganza of
speech and their transparent innocence OF
thought make them comparatively harm
less.
There is even a certain suggestion OF m
verted moral courage in the abjectness OF
their pacifsm Professor David A. Muzzey,
of the Department of History at Columbia
University, was quoted in "The Times "
the other day as saying at a meeting OF
the Emergency Peace Federation; Before
going to war would wait until they sank
seven ships? Yes, | would wait until they
had sunk seventy times seven, and then
wouldn't go to war. Should we wait until
the Kaiser's subalterns insulted us? Yes,
I would wait until they had insulted us,
until they were sick of insulting us
Such talk is it's own antidote. We have
no fear of the American pacifists who are
waiting to prove how many insults they
can take from the Kaisers subalterns
without batting their eyes. The only paci-
fists we are concerned about are pacifists
under cover-those who are too clever to
make open confession of their abasement
of spirit, but who dc the work of pacifism
under the cloak of high-sounding profess
sions of regard for national honor.
while talking war, prepare for peace,
is the motto of school of public men more
dangerous than any group of super-honest
Emergency Peace Federationists. While
talking defence of national rights these
under-cover pacifists are planning to dodge
the annoyances and inconvenience OF any
real defence. They are the true enemy IN
the household-more subtle and more In
sidious than all the organs and the Muz-
zeys who could be let loose to preach non
resistance as the highest duty of good
Americans.

Americas Disgrace in Art

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; As one interested in the progress OF
every form of art in this United States OF
ours. | was much interested in the publlca-
ton in the illustrated section of The Sunday
Tribune of a page OF illustrations Of Amer
icas disgrace in art"
1t is a sad, sad day, and a sad commentary
on our progress, when the greatest cathedral
that has ever been created in this country
must blazen forth the fact that 1t is orna-
mented, not only with windows created on the
other side of the water, but that these win
dows themselves are replica Can it be
possible that there are no artists or artisans
in this country capable Of creating work suit
able for adjoining our great cathedrals and
churches? Ny answer is emphatically NO
and again No" We have the men. We have
the artists. We have the artisans if-but-
our architects and our people had the cour-
age. the discernment and the common sense
to give them their chance.
How long will it be before the academic
Pharisees who control the destiny OF crea-
tive architectural beauty In this country
will wake I'D and give their fellow artists the
same chance that they themselves are enjoy
ing at our expense?
| sometimes wonder what sort of a howl"
would go up from our architectural brethren
If the committees in charge of the building
of our important edifices were to go abroad
for their architects to the same degree that
these architects go abroad for everything
they possibly can. w. FRANK PURDY,
President Of the Art Alliance of America.
