RAISE RECOMMENDED
For All Rail Workers with Salary
Less THIN ss50-Recommenda'
lions, II Adopted -Wlll Give
Workers 300, 100000 In
Back Pay.

Washington, May 8-All railroad
employees whose monthly pay In De-
cember, 1916. was less than $3.50 q
month have been recommended for
wage increases by the roalroad wage
committee.
The recommendations, II adopted by
Director-G General McAdoo, would give
the workers $1OO,OO0,0OO in back pay
to January /, and would add $2SS,O13,-
71S to the payroll as of 1917, net In
creased OF 1901 per cent.
Wage advances proposed, however
do not represent net increases over
existing pay, but are based on the
month of December, 1915. In other
words, any increases which may have
been allowed by individual roads since
that time must be deducted. In some
cases deductions will almost, II not
altogether cover the increases sug-
gested, according to the report.
The roads themselves during 1916
and 1917 increased wages an amount
equivalent to 100000 If applied
to the present number of their EN-
ployes.
"As to those who have received
such increases" the report says, we
advise no other course than that the
scale be adhered to, for it has its
foundation in principle and not In the
compelling force Of any unusual COM
petition. In no event, however,
Should there be any reduction In
wages from those now obtaining.

needs of the time, this end can not

play for other forces than those we
have recognized"
Flat increases of 500 a month are
proposed for all employees except APP
prentices, receiving $46 or less and all
others up to $239 would get advances
ranging from 43 per cent on down.
ward to 4.6 per cent, the smallest in
creases going to those with the high
est wages. Above $239 fiat increases
would be given to make the wage

The second prize was carried off
by Allen Wood, who was attractively

The third and fourth prizes were
won by the two girls in the parade,
Misses Catherine Rosenstein and
Elizabeth Cady.
Mr.. Karl Bauder was in charge of
the parade and deserves much credit

500, 900 UNITED STATES
TROOPS NOW IN FRANCE
Forecast Made IN january Has Been
Surpassed-Baker Says Nc Can Not
Discuss Number But Says
Early Promise Has Been
Fulfilled.

Washington, May 8-More than half
q million American soldiers have been
sent to France. Secretary Baker to-
day authorized the statement that his
forecast to Congress In January that
100000 troops would be dispatched to
France early In the present year, now
has been surpassed.
Mr.. Baker dictated the following
statement.
an January told the Senate COM
mlttee that there was strong likeli-
hood that early In the present year
100000 American troops would be dis
patched to France. can not either
now or perhaps later discuss the
number of American troops in France
but am glad to be able to say that
the forecast | made in January has
been surpassed"
As a result of a personal investiga-
ton OF machine gun production dur
ing the past few days, the Secretary
announced that there is no present
shortage of light or heavy types Of
these weapons either in France or
America, and no shortage is in pros
pect.
Mr.. Baker said there had been no
question brought uD as to the supplies
of light type Browning guns, which
were coming forward in quantities.
He would not say whether shipments
of these guns to France had been
started.
The Secretary chose his words
about the troops in France with ut
most care. He would not amplify the
statement that the press refrain from
specializing as to what precise fig
ures his guarded remarks covered, so
as to what possibilities of early fur
Their increase In the other side there
might be.
There has been repeated official an
nouncements, however, that the gov
ernment'is bending every energy to
rushing men across to back up the AL
lied lines in France and officers d.
rectly in charge of the transportation
have expressed satisfaction with the
progress being made.
There is doubt of the present force
of American troops there represent
only small part of the total strength
that will be available for employment
by General .Foch before the summer
fighting ends.
There are indications, too, that the

ments.

Washington, May 8 - Legislation

alton, he said, of half million more

the General said. now has a total Of
about 2,265,OOO men of which 100000
are electives.

credit plan and asked that the meas
ure be passed as approved by the War
Department.
The conference report on the bill
for registration of youths becoming
81 will be called up in the House to-
morrow with prospects of lively de-
bate over the proposal to exempt min
listers from the law.

Washington, March 21.-Upon Hol'
threats, to put into effect her volun-
tary agreement for restoring her mer-
chant marine to normal activity, the
United States government reQulsl-
toned all Dutch ships in American
waters. At the same time Great Brit
Ian took over Dutch vessels In British
ports. A total of seventy-seven ships
Of probably 100000 tons was added to
the American merchant marine by the
requisitioning Another 100000 tons
are put into the allied service by
Great Britain's action. Most of them
will be used in the food-carrying trade
between the United States and Eu-
rope.
President Wilson's proclamation
taking over the ships was issued only
after word finally came from London
that Hollands delayed reply was
rejection of the British-American de-
mand The government had waited
more than forty-eight hours beyond
the time when Holland had been re-
Quested to make decision as to
whether she would carry out the orig
inal pact or submit to requisitioning.
Every effort was made to avoid
drastic action. as transfer by agree
ment was sought. rather than by seiz-
ure. although the latter is an exercise
Of sovereign rights justified in inter-
national law and practiced by all ma
tions.
The Presidents proclamation was
issued Immediately. authorizing the
navy to take over the vessels, which
will be equipped and operated by the
navy department and the shipping
board, the dutch cross being supple
mented by American civilian sailors
and naval reservists. Compensation
will be made to the owners as re-
quired by law
Although the ships have been taken
over without any formal agreement.
the United States proposes to carry
out scrupulously the terms Of the orig
inal pact, SO that Holland shall re-
ceive ample foodstuffs and will be
protected in her colonial trade by
having sufficient tonnage to maintain
its commerce.
Although the reason never was for
mally expressed The President said.
'it was generally known that the
Dutch ship owners feared lest their
ships should be destroyed by German
submarines. That this fear was not
wholly unjustified has unhappily been
shown by the recent act of the Ger
man government In sinking the Span
ish ship Sardinero outside the danger
zone, when carrying a cargo OF grain
for Switzerland, and after the subma-
rine commander had ascertained this
fact by an inspection of the ships
