HOME SERVICE TRAINING.
Will Be offered by New England Red
Cross Division.

The New England division of the Rec
Cross at 755 Boylston street, Boston, viii
offer a series of institutes in home scrv,
ice training, the first beginning on Oct
Is, under the direction of Miss Kate Nc
Aahon, previously the head worker oil
the medical social service department oi
the Boston dispensary and affiliated with
the school for social workers. Each class
will be limited to twenty five, with a reg
/ istration fee of 50, and the course will
extend over six weeks and consist OF
lectures, field work, and reading.
| Not enough social workers can be freed
| from their regular work to meet this de-
mand Therefore the Red Cross under
the direction of W. Frank Persons, direc-
tor general, civilian relief has arranged
for a series of home service institutes
over the entire country, to train volun-
| teer workers.
One hundred thousand is the lowest es-
innate put by the Red Cross on the num-
Der of families of enlisted men who will
need civilian relief this next year. This
relief is not of financial kind for the
government by federal aid and the sol
diers by allotment of their pay, will
attend to that. The relief will be in the
form of medical or legal advice. It may
be in giving counsel in the education of
the children, their choice of occupations,
and advising on questions of health and
sanitation. In many cases it will re-
quire some outside friend familiar with
the family. conditions to see that church
affiliations are maintained, that the in
surance is paid, or the family income
wisely and economically expended.
With the return of the father, dis
charged because of illness or wounds, the
problem becomes more intricate. The re-
education of the bread winner in some
other vocation may become Immediately
necessary. Help will also be needed to
bridge financial depressions which are
bound to occur in the most wisely ad
ministered households, due perhaps to
long sickness, death or other unpreventa-
bic causes.
Those interested should apply to Miss
McMahon at the New England division
offices, 755 Boylston street, Boston.

EXPORT TRADE IN TIMED PLATES
Reached Highest Record During the Past
Fiscal Year.

Exports of tin plates, terne plates and
taggers tin reached their highest record
in the fiscal year ended June 80, 1917,
with a total of 52l SCI 800 pounds, val

the increase in 1917 over 1916 was only
5,603,9l7 pounds, the increase in value
was S9,700,e60.
The large exports in the past two years
are remarkable when the fact is taken
into consideration that tin plate has be-
come factor in our export trade only
during the last decade. The first record
of exports OF tin plate was in the year
1898, when POST pounds were exported.
American timed plate is exported to

IMPORT EMBARGO
MAY BE CALLED
Passing by Senate of Trading With.
Enemy Bill Gives the President
Largely Increased Powers.

Washington, D. c., Sept l3.-The ad
ministration trading with the enemy bill
which passed the House without a dis
senting vote last July was passed by
the Senate late yesterday with many
amendments, including one guaranteeing
the president power to embargo imports
and prohibiting publication of war com.
ment in the German language unless ac.
companied in a parallel column by a
translation in English
Other important provisions interdict
commerce between Americans and Ger
mans or the latter's allies give the pres
ident broad powers to regulate opera
tions of enemy insurance companies in
this country and extend espionage pow
ers.
The import embargo amendment add
ed yesterday at the administration re-
quest, would extend present presidential
powers over export trade to imports as
well.
The bill passed the Senate after two
days of Iistless debate, heard by an aver
age of less than dozen members without
roll call and virtually without objec-
ton.
The amendment restricting publica-
tions in German, adopted by viva voce
vote, was offered by Senator King and is
subject to elimination in conference. 1t
provides:
"That during the tendency of the
present state of war and until peace
shall be concluded and the fact declared
by proclamation of the president, it shall
be unlawful for any person, firm or asso-
citation to print or publish or cause to be
printed or published in the German lam
guage, any comments respecting the gov
eminent of the United States or of any
natio with which Germany is at war, its
policies, information relations, the state
or conduct of the war, or of any matter
relating thereto, without printing or
publishing in column parallel to such
matter, a true and correct translation
of the same in the English language
"Any print or publication in the Ger.
man language which does not conform
to the provisions of this section. shall
not be admitted to the mails, and it shall
be unlawful for any person to transport,
carry or otherwise publish or distribute
the same.
any person violating the provisions OF (
this section shall on conviction thereof I
be punished by fine of not more than
$500 or by imprisonment for a period of
not more than one year or may, in the
discretion of the court be both fined and
imprisoned"
Senator King urged adoption of his
amendment as a curb against the vi
pers in our midst trying to create dis
sention.
There is no question" said the Utah
senator, "that the press-the German
press, but I don't mean to say all-has
done everything it could to stir up sedi-
ton and strife and make this war IN
popular and those newspapers ought to
be suppressed"
