opposite the White House the other

the Nation has not yet adopted suf-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE fire.
quent and inspiring declarations in
favor Of a united and independent Po-
land made by President Wilson, coupled
with American propaganda to offset
Germanic schemes, are responsible in
part for the present military and
political moves in Poland, according
to the view held by Polish leaders
here.
"The present demonstra ation.' a lead
ing Polish authority said tonight, "is
only beginning, and the Austrian gov
eminent. at the reopening Of Parlia-
ment Tuesday, Will find favorable

liamentary troubles viii arise also in
Germany.
The American propaganda was made
effective by reason Of the recognition
Of the Polish National Committee in
Paris by the American government. AS
a result, the speeches of President Will
son, which the Wolff News Agency, Ger
man controlled, only distributed after
the references of the President to Po-
land were deleted. have been sent for

migrants in America have been able to
assist in making known the real Amer
lean attitude to the Paris committee.
German Misrepresentation we have
been informed, has in certain cases
been overtaken on the threshold of Po-
land. The real facts are now being
made known, and it is hoped that this
is only the beginning.
"Out of the Near East has again
come proof of the loyalty OF the Poles
They do not promise; they act. They
do not ask with folded arms for aid;
they fight. The cost of the sacrifice is

War Expenses
For Six Months
Show Big Cut
Army Cost So Far One
Fifth of So, ,79O, 900, 900
Estimate for Year

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17--Details Of
how various government departments
are spending money in the war emcr-
gency were disclosed to-day in a finan-
cial statement by Secretary McAdoo
covering the first half ot the fiscal year
up to January /.
The military establishment expended
81 1852 100000 in the six months. as
compared with estimates Of War De-
partment heads that expenses for the
entire year ending next June 80 would
be $8,790,oo0,O0o. Although the rate
OF expenditures consequently was far
under the carly estimates, the Treas
ury statement shows the outlay is in
creasing rapidly, amounting to $780,
100000 in December, as compared with
1887 100000 the month before.
A similar relatively low rate Of ex-
penses was recorded for the Shipping
Board, which spent s45.774,ooo in De-
cember, about s2,0O0,OOO less than the
month previous, making total expenses
for the six months S16o. .922 900. Esti
mated expenses for the whole year were
1901, ,129, 600
The may expenditures were about
equal to preliminary estimates, amount
ing to $3.50, ,936,oOO for the six months,
as compared with the estimated $780,
10000 for the year
These three departments accounted
for the great bulk of the government
expenses. The outlay for most others
was approximately the amounts antici-
pated.
The net public debt of the United
States was 1864 1859 097, about a bill
fore.

Internationalism Scored
DR.. w. L, Sullivan Rebukes
Disturbers of Morale

A stinging rebuke to all disturbers
of the national morale in the name of
so-called "internationalism" was issued
by Dr. William L. Sullivan from the
pulpit Of All Souls Church yesterday
at is perfectly plain that great deal
Of the talk we hear in disparagement
Of loyalty he said. proceeds from a
class dogma or from reluctance to ac-
cept the obligations of loyalty. Ger
tainly we need not be very cynical per-
sons to permit ourselves smile, even
a smile of contempt. when we hear the
same people, who denounce patriotism
as narrow, cultivating incessantly a
class consciousness Of the smallest,
btterest, most vindictive character.'
Dr.. Sullivan also expressed his
scorn of those who, while protesting
to be actuated by motives of human
ity" have done nothing to relieve the
suffering Of soldiers or refugees
abroad.
when the nation as a moral posi-
tility and patriotism as moral devo-
ton are destroyed" he said. 1--WE have

Illinois Leads States in
Shipbuilders' Enrolment;
100000 Goal Is Near

WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-Illinois led
the states in the number of men en-
rolled in national shipbuilders' regis
tration week, which closed tonight
with the goal Of 250,0OO men almost in
sight. The registration will continue
until everybody has had chance to
offer voluntary service in building the
merchant feet which will support the
armies in Europe.
Exact figures Of the number Of men
enrolled have not been compiled, but
officers Of the Public Service Reserve
we're confident that the total did not
fall far below $50, 900
In Illinois $4,000 men were signed up,
slightly less than the states quota.
Rhode Island made the best proportion
ate showing, with 5000 registrants. or
more than three times the number
asked from that state. The City of New
York fell below its quota Of 10000,
registering something more than half
the number

Uniforms for Ship
Workers Approved
BY Men Themselves
Tribune Suggestion Wins
Favor Among Employees
and Officials

The Tribune's suggestion that ship
wrights be put in uniform or receive
conspicuous insignia to wear as token
Of their employment in national task
Of vital moment. gained widespread ap-
probation yesterday, including that of
workmen employed in Staten Island
shipyards. Oscar S. Straus declared d
that in this crisis shipbuilders had the
rospons bilities Of soldiers and were
entitled to similar badges Of honor and
10 pensions. Strikers, he added, should
be treated as desertcrs.
"The Tribune's proposal is q good
one" he said. "The shipyard workers
should have uniform or a distinguish
ing badge, as soldiers do. Men who
build ships are soldiers in our indus
trial army and should have the same
consideration as those in the front line.
1t would be wise to hold up war duties
to them. l should advocate giving them
such pensions and honors as soldiers
can win by merit. II the ship work
ers strike they should be treated as
deserters."
James c. Auchincloss, New York
chairman of the Four Minute Men who
are cooperating in the drive TO enlist
shipbuilders expressed hearty approval
of the plan. Uniforms or badges would
create an esprit de corps IN the regl-
ments Of workers, which was fully as
important there, he declared, as i'll
France. Similar views were expressed
by Henry Macdonald, director general
of the Mayors Committee on National
Defence.

and any plan that Will promote such a
feeling is to be highly commended.
These men are of the greatest value to
their country, and it is essential that
they should feel pride in their work -
The $4,000 shipyrd employees on
Staten Island wear badges supplied by
the Department of Commerce. The
badge is small bronze disk, describ-
ing the work of the wearer, and be
comes the property Of the workman at
the end OF the war.
While satisfied with the government
badges, the workers desire something
little more conspicuous. The present
service marks are very small and have
to be worn on the inside of the coat
The shipbuilders say that the men
working for the army or the navy are
designated easily by insignia and uni
forms. They also desire something that
will mark them as workers for Uncle
Sam.
The Tribune plan vas heartily in
dorsed by James A. Dividson, genera
manager of the Staten Island Ship
building, Company. Five thousand mer
are employed by this plant. Nh David
son said that better work viii be done
! by men who wear either a uniform OF
conspicuous mark Of service. While
it would not be practicable for tho
men to wear uniforms at work, it wou(
greatly encourage them if they coulC
don one while of duty, he said.
