Junior League
Girls Plan Trip
To Aid Russia
Society Women May Join
Famous Legion of
Death"

If the government will issue the re-
CURED passports the Junior League is
prepared to send a delegation Of young
women to Russia and Rumania 70 show
their faith in the women Of those coun-
tries by working among them and
teaching them how TO make use Of the
democracy for which they are fighting.
II the present plan does not miscarry
IL is likely that some Of the Junior
League members-members of the
eity's younger social set-wil JOIN
RussIa's most picturesque women's
body, the Legion of Death" and take
their positions as near the firing line
as their work requires. They DO not
expect to fight any enemy but ignor-
ance and dirt, however, and as con-
sequence will not have TO enter the
trenches.
Want to Reach Trenches
The suggestion that such a move
ment be undertaken came yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the Junior
League at the home of Mrs. Charles
B. Alexander. 4 West Fifty ghth
Street, at the conclusion Of addresses
by Harold !. Pratt and DR.. A. c. Harte,
who have just returned from Russia,
where they were carrying on Y. NJ. c.
A. work. Mrs. Frances Louis Slade
Immediately arose and said that the
young women of the organization
wanted TO know how they could get
into the trenches.
DR.. Harte told the young women that
there was a new spirit in Russia, which
would continue 70 burn In spite OF up
heavals like those just described IN
the newspapers. He said that the girls
who were fighting in the trenches were
heroic and morally clean, but that they
were subject 70 all sorts Of tempta-
tons and needed the assistance OF
other women.
Il DO not know anything you can
do" he said, that will be more vaiu-
able 20 the cause Of the Allies than 70
90 over there and help those women.
You will have to suffer some priva-
tions. You will have 70 endure the
same things they do; the vermln viii
annoy you, but in time you Will forget
that, but you viii be working with
women of your town type and standing,
and you can do wonderful things for
our ally in such service"
Rumania News Help
Later he included Rumania in this
invitation, and told the members Of
the league they would work there with
Queen Marie, who was leading in the
service for the women and soldiers
When he had concluded. after telling
OF the prison camps, ne was questioned
as TO whether the Y. VI. c. A. could
secure passports and passage to Russia
and told them II was possible If they
really want 70 20 20 work and not 20
see. Immediately upon adjournment of
the meeting several young society
women came forward 20 give in their
rames as volunteers, and were referred
70 the international Committee.

Standard Ships Too
Large To Be Strong

+ Is maintained the standard ship
!, TOO large for fast and economical
binding and also too large 10 be
strong. The slow progress heretofore
made seems 10 support the first part
- this contention and the alteration
!, the structure now decided upon
seems 70 support the last. From Fleet
Generation sources it is learned that
a give strength the design had feat
B-ss that were new 20 wooden boats
and il IS probably ynese very feat
ure- that the builders complain about
a. being unnecessary. Now it has
been determined that even with these
added elements Of strength still more
mast be done.
So vital is this additional strengthen
ing considered il has been ordered into
every boat. no matter how near COM
rle.on. thus involving delay in all the
,hsps and considerable delay IN the
more advanced ones. This strengthen
ing s intended 70 maintain sheer lines
on the bottom. At first it was sug-
restsd .nat 1s-inch steel beams be in
eorporated. but the decision has been
made 20 use additional timbers. Il IS
hoped thus 20 overcome q weakness
that wooden vessels have always de-
vslo-ed after q little service.
The weakness. II It can be called
sreh. does not affect the s,anchness OF
the ship. but affects seriously the
power transmission Of steamship be-
cause i tends 20 disturb the alignment

French Have aith
In Wooden Ships

Yet, it is significant that foreign
governments, especially the French.
have full faith in wooden ships, and
are having large numbers of them built
in American yards. Of about 1000 ton
mage. Private capital is also building
many wooden ships, but both the pri-
vate shipowners and the wooden ship
yard men are in a dilemma. The gov
eminent doesn't appear 20 want any
more wooden ships, and yet the yards
are not able 20 get guarantees against
comman deering. so that they can go
ahead in full knowledge that their plans
will not miscarry. This also applies
TO small steel ships.
The result is that there are many
yards. on the Pacific Coast, at least,
that are idle. or likely soon to be Idle
that could easily book their capacity Of
wooden and small steel ships. Az there
seems TO be an unlimited demand for
ships for coasting service, It would
seem TO be the part Of wisdom for the
Shipping Board to give such yards a
free hand
