of them have expressed sentiment of the loftiest patriotism. Many others have enlisted in the military and naval serv- ice of the United States and are prepar- ing to die in defense of the cause of this country on the fields of Flanders. It did appear that an effort to stigmatize native born Germans, as a class. alien enemies was lacking in justice and di- plomacy. At any rate, the House de- feated the section.
 Mir Burnett representing the Seventh Alabama, in whose district are a number of native born Germans, spoke against the section.
 BURNETT STATES CASE
 Said he: We must not be swept off our feet. We ought to proceed cautiously If the President finds that anyone is in lmical to our government let him fix a penalty for individual responsibility without embracing a whole class If we do not strike out this section, we will make new enemies. We will say to naturalized Germans, some of whom are following the flag, We brand you as en- emies, and will put in their hearts en- mity which now they do not feel"
 Later MT. Burnett said: T am glad that We struck out the sentence which would have placed opprobrium on every German, even those naturalized, even those who are following the American flag in France. I have very few Ger man people in my district, one one-thir- tieth of the population of that district. Practically all of them especially the naturalized Germans, are as loyal to the government and to our flag as any

fashion possible. I saw that inde- fatigable enthusiast in war work, Lady Juliet Duff, taking out a party of wounded soldiers on the river near Windsor quite recently. She is you will remember, one of the war widows and a daughter of the beautiful Marchioness of Ripon, who is a close friend of Queen Alexandra. Lady Ju- let is very tall and slim and aristo- cratic in appearance She was wearing a gown of pale biscuit colored tus- sore with a broad sailor collar enn- broidered with black wool and a band of black woolen embroidery round the hem of her skirt. With this she wore a wide brimmed black sailors hat and black suede shoes. By the way I sup pose you have noticed the fact that all the newest dresses from Paris are being embroidered with wool. The flimsiest fabrics have wooden flowers of conventional designs stitched upon them think they are rather ugly myself, but still they are one of the fads that seem to have created d vogue in the world where fashion is still king.
 Tn London and throughout England, everybody is talking and thinking very hard about babies. For some reason or other the practical necessity for provid
 ing the coming generation with fair start in life has only just taken firm grip on the minds of the Anglo Saxon race. Toward this end the prime min ister. the Duchess of Marlborough, Mrs Lloyd George, Lady Rhondda and va
 rious other notable feminists and pub licists are launching a campaign that Is to find expression in a national baby week" that is to occur in the beginning of July. All sorts of schemes for the necessity of impressing the public mind with the importance of baby welfare are being pushed before the public and a good deal of important practical assist ance is being given to the scheme by Judge Henry Neil, of Chicago, who in troduced the system of mothers pen sion into 30 states of the union. Judge Neil is having g very busy time of it in London and is making speeches before mothercraft schools, welfare centers and social reform societies throughout Eng land. I am told that he is going up to North Wales very soon at the invita- tion of Mrs. Lloyd George to make ad- dresses before some of the Welsh cen ters that the prime minister's wife is specially interested in. It is also ru- mored that Judge NeiPs mothers pen sions scheme will have the consideration of the House of Commons in special sitting before long.

 Host 10 Men Deported
 From Bisbee, Arizona

Columbus. N M. July 14.-The Uni- ted States is host tonight to Arizona s deported miners. mill men and mer- chants who are encamped on the desert half way between Columbus and the Mexican border
 A small city of canvas has sprung up on the site of the Mexican refuge camps established by General Pershins and 1140 men are sleeping on beds to- night for the first time since Wednes- day, when they were deported from under escort of United States cavalry All afternoon the men have been working in a blistering sun setting up tents, digging pits for field kitchens and hauling firewood.
 Government rations were issued, con sisting of canned beef, canned toma- toes and bread. Tomorrow at break fact they will receive a ration of cof- fee, the first they have had since leav- ing Bishee.
 Lieutenant Shekerjian, provost mar shal, established the camp and is or ganizing the refugees into a regi- ment composed of battalions and com panies
 The men are beginning to consider when they will be returned to Bis bee where they have their families, homes and many of them business af- fairs. They are almost universally agreed they will be ready to return to Bisbee when accompanied by Cni- ted States soldiers and not before.

.GOETHALS IS GOING
 AHEAD WITH HIS
 SHIP PROGRAMME
Plans for Reouisitioning Yards COmpleted-Noth- ing Will Be Allowed
 to Hamper

Washington, July 14.-Plans for re- quisitioning on Monday all steel mer- chant ships under construction in the country were completed today by Major General Goethals, manager of the ship ping boards emergency fleet corpor- ation. All American yards will be noti- fled that the government has taken charge and that they are to follow the corporations directions
 About Is yards in the country are producing major ships. A government agent will be put in charge of each, although the present managers prob ably will be designated as the govern ment representatives
 No ships under construction for the government will be requisitioned, nor will any vessels under repair be talk en over. Ships under construction will be speeded up. General Goethals an nounced, by the addition of over time where necessary; by additional labor shifts and by the elimination of nonessential refinement of construc- ton. As soon as the ways are cleared General Goethals will start construc- tion of standardized designs which can be built quickly.
 Contracts will be let Monday for construction of the two great gov ernment-owned shipbuilding plants in which General Goethals will have fab ricated steel ships built These two plants are expected to turn out with in Is months or two years 400 ves- sells of 2.500.000 tons
 Although General Goethals has am nounced contracts for 34S wooden ships with another 100 under negotia- tion, possibilities of trouble between him and the shipping board were still seen tonight over the wooden ship Ebuilding programme. The shipping board. it is known, favors construc- tion of a large number of wooden ships of one design. while General Goethals is letting contracts for an- other design said to be better type of ship, but of slower construction that the one the board fancies.
 The board has contended for con- struction of a type of wooden vessel which will give the country immediate tonnage. Whether it will insist on con- struction under this design has not been<made known. but it is considered certain that the boards members, as stockholders in the fleet corporation, will take an active interest in the building programme.
 The fleet corporations board of di- rectors, composed of shipping board members and employees. will meet Mon day to discuss General GoethaFs pro- gramme. There were indications to- night, however, that General Goe- thals is ready to proceed with his plans and that he is determined not to be hampered in any way.

SWEDISH OFFICIALS
 ENCOURAGE HUNGER DEMONSTRATIONS
These Are Being Held in Towns Throughout Coun- try, But in Quiet and
 Orderly Manner

Stockholm, June 0-(Correspon6ence ) The so-called hunger demonstrations, D which began in April and still are con tinuing in various towns and cities all over Sweden, have encountered a sym pathetic understanding and reception from the different municipal authorities and from the Swedish people at large. This feeling, which has been heightened by the exemplary orderliness of the dem- onstrants, rests upon a comprehension of the very real hardships which the people of small means have to bear.
 The cost of living has risen 70 per cent since the beginning of the war House rentals have been advanced 80 per cent.
 Prices of foodstuffs averaged from 70 cities, in the United States are, almost without exception, lower than the prices for the same articles in Sweden few articles cost more in America than in Sweden, but all meats and all canned foods are much dearer here
 Some of the prices are well calculated to stagger one; cornmeal at 21h cents a pound. for example, and smoked horse meat sells a 47 cents a pound. There Is a legally established maximum price for potatoes of about S.34 per bushel, but no dealer pays the slightest attention to it. The prevailing price is $3 20 a bushel Lard at 53 cents per pound is another item contrasting strongly with American prices. A mixture of beef tallow and hog fat for frying can be had for 51 cents per pound. The same high prices pre- vail for all sorts of canned goods
 With food prices at this height, there ls little left for the poorer people but bread and the F 1-3 ounces allowed daily are admittedly too little for them Sup pienentary bread cards have been dis tributed in great numbers-some 1, 800 OO0- bringing the ration up to as much as a pound for persons doing especially hard manual labor. but the hunger demon- strants sfy that thousands of them have received either no cards or not enough. They demand also an increase of the amount of cracked oats, barley, rye or wheat which in normal conditions. under the name of greats, play such an impor- tant role in the households of the less well to-do classes.
 The demonstrations have brought de nlands for commercial agreement with England. and for the prohibition of the exports of all foodstuffs. About 5000 head of cattle are going to Germany monthly. but the government maintains that if cannot secure needed articles from Ger n,any--especially coal-wthout this con cession.
 Other demands include a lowering of food prices and rents, tax reductions for persons with incomes below s7Oo yearly. votes for women and-in some of the resolutions-prohibitio of the sale of all intoxicating liquors.

Army officers are ignorant as to what the next move will be and say they have orders only to feed and care are not being treated as prisoners, but are being guarded by soldiers with siderams and no one is permitted to enter the camp without pass.
 The men believe the President will order them sent back to their homes, but there is no information in camp upon which to base this supposition. The men continue to complain abo1t having money and valuables taken from them at Bisbee but are unable to give names of any one who robbed them. They also allege their wives were not being permitted to draw money from the Bisbee banks, but tnis report was not confirmed.
 When the unshaved and unwashed prisoners marched up to the refugee camp this afternoon they presented ono of the strangest sights Columbus mas seen since Villas Mexican bandits dashed into the town on March g, 1916
 Many were without hats and wore soiled handkerchiefs on their heads to keep off the hot sun. Others limpcd from blistered feet. while old men and the physically unfit had difficulty in marching the mile to the camp from the railroad.
 One man tainted after reaching the camp and the hospital tent was crowded with minor cases during the afternoon, though no serious illness has been discovered
