Speed Army Training
To Rush Men Overseas

WAsH1NGToN, Oct. as.-Army
w training camp commanders
have been ordered to eliminate from
their schedules all work that can be
done after the men arrive overseas,
as one of the moves Of the War De-
partment to speed up the enlarged
war programme and overcome de-
lays resulting from interference with
draft calls by influenza.
If the peace talk has had any ef-
feet at the War Department., it ap-
parently has spurred everybody to
further exertions to swell the num-
Der Of troops going to France. The
October draft calls, held up because
of the influenza epidemic, are be-
ginning to 60 out again, and nothing
will be permitted to interfere with
the movement of soldiers overseas
at the rate Of 250,O00 monthly.

Women Unite
To Keep Out
ss
German Toys
Modern ''Boston Tea Partv''
Threatened If Goods
Reach Public

Thousands of determined American
women in speech and action yesterday
expressed their firm resolution that
the boatload of German toys landed
here few days ago shall not be dis
tributed to the children Of this coun-
try.
Butler Brothers, the consignees of
the goods, said they would not accept
the shipment and would have nothing
to do with the toys.
The importation of the Hun play
things at this time was viewed by many
patriotic leaders as characteristic
piece of German propaganda.
Every peaceable effort, it was said,
would be made to prevent their distri-
button, but it was intimated that if no
other method availed an up-to-the min
ute repetition Of the famous Boston
tea party might be staged.
Women Are Indignant
The storm of protest, which first de-
veloped at a meeting of the New York
Federation of Womcn's Clubs Friday,
reached a climax yesterday in the ac-
tion of the committee appointed at the
meeting to deal with the matter. Mrs.
Oliver Cromwell Field, chairman of the
committee and president of the Ameri-
can Relief Legion, announced that the
City were determined that the German
goods should not be placed on sale in
America, and that plans are now being
made with view to their return to
Germany of their ultimate destruction
here.
In view of the strong opposition to
the acceptance Of the einGermany
stuff Walter Scott, vice e-president Of
Butler Brothers, issued a statement de-
elaring that the goods had been or
dered in the spring of 1914, prior to
the outbreak of tht war; that they
were given up as lost by the local firm
and that the company has notified the
government that it will not accept de-
livery of the merchandise. The goods
are now in Brooklyn storage house.
"Although it was at first suggested
at the meeting Of the Women's Clubs
that the thing was of sufficient impor
tance to require the personal attention
of President Wilson," said Mrs. Crom-
we'll, "more sober minds prevailed. 1t
was decided that the President had too
many burdens at the present time to
be saddled with the affair, and that we
ourselves were capable of coping with
the situation. AS chairman Of the COM
mittee appointed to take over the mat
ter have selected Mrs. Henry Clarke
Coe and Mrs. Albert Gleason as CO.
workers, but will have many more on
the committee in day or two.
I'VE have arranged to have the toys
watched night and day, and will use all
peaceful means to persuade the con-
sgnees to return the INTO Germany or
have them destroyed. The sugge stion
of Mrs. Mary M. Lilly at the federation
that we do as her ancestors did
with the tea in Boston harbor is a good i
one, and if other means fail there may
be repetition, Of that famous party.

FORTY VESSELS IN LINE

On Board U. S. S. George Washing
ton, Dec. 13.-(By the Associated
Press. 1.-The American battleship di-
vision joined President Wilson's ship
at S o'clock this morning, providing
one Of the greatest naval spectaclcs
in many months. The vessels ma
noeuvered with lights and the sight
was an inspiring one.
Long before daylight the battleship
Pennsylvania, leading the presidential
convoy, picked up by wireless the
vessels approaching. The night was
partly cloudy. Suddenly the Pennsyl-
vania got series of rapid signals
from a destroyer, lowering off on the
sylne, and began signalling. The
searchlights pointed long illumi-
mated finger into the sky and wrote
a message in flashes on the big black
clouds. In few seconds the answer,
written on the sky by a battleship
away over the horizon, began to come
back.
In Appointed Places.
Then the toplights of the fleet came
over the curve one by one and stood
by the Presidents ship, which pro-
ceeded on her way until daylight
when all the ships in the convoy
spread out and fell into their appoint
cd places on the right Of the line of
formation.
The Pennsylvania was head of the
center column, having on either side
line of dcstroyers, then line of
four battleships, then line Of de-
stroyers on the extreme outside. The
battleship Wyoming, with Vice Ad-
miral Sims on board, headed the line
on the left, followed by the Utah, the
Oklahoma, the Nevada and the Ari-
zona in that order. The line on the
right was beaded by the New York,
followed by the Texas, the Arkansas
and the Florida,

House by Chairman Moon, of the

the measure had been drafted in con-
sultation with Postmaster General
Burlcson, who had informed him that
the legislation was approved by Pres
ident Wilson
The resolution was referred to the

Till Otherwise Ordered.
Government control and operation
Of the telegraph and telephone lines
is limited by the existing resolution
to the period of the war, but under
the measure offered it would con-
tinue "until otherwise ordered by
Congress-" The resolution directs the
Postmaster General to negotiate con-
tracts for the purchase of the tclc-
phone lines subject to the approval
of Congress and to have an appraisal
made as to the value of the telegraph
property.
Under Existing Law.
The right of the government to
purchase the telephone systems is
given under an existing law, accord
ing to administration officials. This
law, passed in 1866, was designed to
give government aid in the construc-
tion Of telegraph lines, and provides
that the privileges of operation given
the companies were non transferable
except that the government might
purchase the property.
Provision was made for the ap-
pointment of five disinterested persons
to appraise the properties should the
government decide to purchase them.
Two of the appraisers would be
named by the Postmaster General,
two by the companies and the fifth
by these four men.
