War Stamp Drive
Planned to Enlist
$1,000 Buyers
Limit Investment Society
Aims to Double Present
Membership Here

Two important events are scheduled
for the coming ten days or two weeks
in the war savings stamp campaign.
Both are expected not only to spread
the interest in this form of saving,
but to add materially to the amount
Of stamps sold in this district.
The first drive will be made by the
War Savings Limit Investment Society,
of which Elihu Root is honorary presi-
dent. This society has for its main
object the enlisting Of as many per-
sons as it can in pledge to buy $1,000,
the limit set by the government for in
dividual holdings Of war savings
stamps. The drive is to double the
number of those who have already
joined the society.
The special appeal of the Limit So
ciety will be continued until June ZS'
the day designated by President Will
SON as War Savings Stamp Day:
Several sub committees will be ap-
pointed at once to make personal ap-
peals for members, and those in charge
Of the campaign believe that the pres
ent membership Of nearly 1000 not
only will be doubled, but even trebled.
Throughout the week as we'll school
children in grades between IA and
8-B will compete In series OF con-
tests in more than three hundred pub
lie schools having those grades to de-
termine who will speak at De Witt

Clinton High School on June % in
the final competition to determine New
York's champion junior four-minute
speaker of the war savings move
ment. There are to be ten speakers
in al1, allotted as follows: Manhattan,
a; Brooklyn, 2; Bronx, q; Queens, /,
and Richmond, 1.
The competition was launched in
May by the division of four-minute
men of the Committee on Public In
formation. The first prize is $50
Liberty bond of the third issue and the
second five So war savings stamps.
The competition in New York is be-
ing followed with great interest by
Treasury officials, who plan to in
auguratc similar ones in the other
cities of the country.
DR.. David H. Holmes, Of the school
division of the four-minute men of
New York, stated last night that it
was believed the competition would
spread the principle of the war saw
ings stamp movement in the homes
better than any other plan that had been
evolved. While the children have done
excellent work, DR.. Holmes said, in
popularizing the savings movement,
this competition takes it directly into
their homes, and that has been the
end most sought after by the War Saw
ings Stamp Committee.

Brokers May Sing and
Parrots May Object

If light-hearted insurance broker
chooses to sing gaily before his shay
ing mirror these summer MORNINGS

1T is far from stimulating, K. S. Jasper
averred-in the West Side police court
yesterday, to be interrupted by mo-
notonous, raucons chant of "Cut it
out! Cut it 0 u IT." However. CON
tinped Mr.. jasper. it was a parrot, ut
tery lacking in patriotism or dis
crlmlnation as a musical critic.
Mr.. Jasper added that he was in a
position to know, for he was the caroll
ing Insurance broker. He was in court
to press complaint against Mrs.
Pauline Michaelson, his neighbor at
3 West 10Sth Street, and the owner
OF the parrot, for whom he had oh
tanned summons. Mrs. Michaelson
declared that her parrot was an in
telllgent bird, never objected to music
and never lost it's temper except when
Mr.. Jasper sang.
After due consideration Magistrate
Ten Eyck ruled that Mr.. Jasper had n
right to shave and right to sinr
and the parrot likewise had the riphf
to have its cage hung in Mrs. Michael
sons open window, but he suggested
that during the period Mr.. Jasper de-
voted to shaving and singing Mrs

Want Special Books
For Negro Soldiers

Believing that nothing should be
left undone to keep alive the war
ardor of American negro troops, a
special appeal is being made to the
public for assistance in sending to
these, soldiers inspiring books by au-
thors of their own race. Efforts to
this end are being directed by the
Negro Books for Negro Soldiers"
movement, of which Henry F. Down
ing is manager. acting in cooperation
with the American Library Association.
Mr.. Downing explained yesterday
that some time ago Herbert Putnam,
librarian of Congress and director
general OF the American Library As
sociation, intimated. to him that the
colored soldiers literary needs were
not being satisfied, and approved of
movement to supply this want. 1t
WIS felt, said Mr.. Downing. that the
negro soldier should be given some
reading matter by authors who more
thoroughly understand him, and so
books written by men Of his own
race.
Among the works declared desirable
are Fifty Years and Other Poems"
by James w. Johnson; ''The Negro in
Art and Literature" by Benjamin
Brawley; Cup From Slavery" by
Booker T. Washington; "John Brown y
by w. Z. Dubois; "The Haitian
Revolution" by G. S. Stewart;
Poems" by Paul Laurence Dunbar;
Aftermath of Slavery" by DR.. WILL
lam Sinclair; "The American Cavalry
man" by Herbert F.. Downing; IA
Tribute for the Negro Soldier" by j.
X. Bruce; "Out of the House Of Bond
age" by Kelly Miller. and numerous
others.

Soldiers Witnesses
Against Russellites
Say They Were Urged to Re.
sist All Military
Orders

The government rested it's case
against Joseph F. rutherford and his
seven associates, charged with con-
spiracy, in the Federal Court, Brook
lyn, yesterday, after Clarence l.. Con-
verse, agent of the Army Intelligence
Bureau, had finished his testimony.
Converse testified that he had on sew
eral occasions taken possession of
papers and correspondence from the
Students Association, the Pastor Rus
sell organization of which Rutherford
is president and the other defendants
are members or officers. Some of these
papers and letters, the government
charges, contain seditious matter.
A motion to dismiss the defendants
by their counsel, Frederick w. Sparks,
was denied by Judge Howe for every
defendant with the exception of A
Hugh McMillin. Judge Howe reserved
his decision on that motion, but said
he was inclined to dismiss him.
Three soldiers, all of the Russell faitn,
from Camp Devens, Massachusetts, were
the principal witnesses for the prosecu-
tion yesterday morning. derry de Cecca
brother of one of the defendants, testi-
ned that GIOVANNI, the defendant, had
written him November ID to resist
even hospital duty "under military
order" He identified two letters sent
him by the Russellite with advice about
his conduct as a conscientious objector
IN camp. Carmello Nicica and A. D'Ono-
frio also testified, D'Onofrio admitting
that he had distributed thirty copies
of THE Finished Mystery" in various
cantonments.
The defence will begin its case this
morning.

Morale of Women Munitions Workers

little experience in<organized welfare
work, she said, and it was not until
the women workers in the munitions
factories were fast reaching a bad
state of morale that they realized
some welfare work must be done
among them.
The French government provides
long plain barracks, where the women
workers are housed and fed The food
is fairly good, according to Miss
Crafty, and the barracks are comfort
able enough but no provision at all
was made for amusements.
There was a weird mixture Of men
and women of all races and national
first thing we did was to organize dra-
matte clubs.
Foyer Soon Popular
"The French girls had two hours
off at noon, which they soon learned
to spend at the Foyer d'Aliees.' We
served them with little luxuries of food
not provided in their government fare:
About 1900 every noon were served
end then entertained.
ave have had the most wonderful
appreciation, not only from the girls
themselves, but from the soldiers. We
have had most touching letters from
poilus who have visited our canteens
during the holidays, thanking JUS for
making the women happy.
"The French girl was not so adapt
able as the American or English to
factory life. She would never have
gone into industry at all had it not
been for poverty caused by the war.
Now, however, l believe she will stay
in, because, even after the munitions
factories are closed they will be used
by the government for restoration
work. The women will be needed for
this later"
Police Chaperon Maids
In Paris 1900 women are employed
by the Ministry of War alone. For
them canteens were erected in various
sections of the city, The Hotel Petro-
grad, erected in Paris for the use of
American women war workers. was
another of the associations undertak-
ings. Everything in Paris is closely
watched by the police, who chaperon
the hotel maids on their afternoons
off. Each maid is obliged to register
the place and the hour of her holiday.
In the evening a policeman calls to see
that she has carried it out according
to schedule.
The four association workers will
return to France after q few weeks
vacation. They expect to take over
fifty more workers.

Mrs. Busch was ip the habit of max
ing frequent trips to Germany before
the outbreak OF the wax She hap
pened TO be on one of these at the
time of the entrance of the United
States into the conflict, and desnite
her efforts to return it was not until
this government went to her assistance
that she was finally able to leave the
country.
While Mrs. Busch was stin in Ger

How war-weary France was cheered
by the entrance of America into the
world conflict, and the appearance upon
her streets Of vigorous well-dresscd
young American men and Women was
told yesterday by group of workers
sociation, who nave just returned from
six months service among the women
workers of France.
They were Miss Mabel Crafty, gen.
eral national secretary; Miss Blanche
Geary, construction expert; Miss Ella
Schooley, finance director, and Miss
Henrietta Roelofs, head Of the associa-
tons work in France. Miss Roelofs
went over in August and planned the
winters work for forty women in
war bureaus and congestcd districts of
Paris.
France a Drab Nation
France was dull, gray, almost hope
less before America came into the war;"
said Miss Crafty yesterday afternoon
at the Young Women's Christian Assoc
iation, 600 Lexington avenue, "The
women all wear mourning. If they have
lost any one in the war-and they all
have, of course. Thus France is so
much more sad than England, where
the women have retained their bright
clothing and where even the munitions
workers wear gayly colored uniforms.
In France the munitions workers
have a dreary, drab uniform, and no
sense of amusing themselves. After
their hard days work they go home
and sew.
at is wonderful how the sight of
our first American troops cheered them
up, and now the streets are beginning
to be quite bright-at least in Paris
with the uniformed members of the
Young Mems and Young Women's
Christian Association, the Red Cross,
and the Smith College Reconstruction
Unit and others.
All Praise americans
"'Have yor seen the Americans p
the French say, Such htg men they
have. SO strong and so jolly
"France did not believe America
could respond so quickly, and the ar
rival of our first thousands in their viii
lagos is little less than miracle to
them. 1t has given them new courage.
Miss Crafty described the organiza-
tion of the first Young Women's
Christian Association canteen in
munitions centre in the south of
France. The French women have had

through the medium of moving pict-
ures. The first public display Of the
courses of instruction for the screen
will be given at the war convention of

every phase of fighting mans exist
ence, from the time he is first called
to the colors until he is passed out
through the cantonment mill ready to
take his place on the firing line, the
weeks, possibly months, the period re-
quired for soldier training. The great
necessity of getting as large q force
as possible across the sea in the short
est time makes the film instruction
project of great Importance.
1t is purposed through the use of
film courses to familiarize draftees
with the schooling of the soldier long
before they are called to the canton
ments. 1t would be possible to make
soldiers Of the same identical pattern

Plans to Apply Ship Board
Methods to Plane
Production
Seeks Cooperation
Of All Builders
S ator Chamberlain
Drafts Bill Granting
Necessary Authority

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Authority
to organize one or more government
owned corporations was asked or Con-
gress to-day by John D. Ryan. Direc-
tor of Aircraft Production. 1t is pro-
posed to apply to aircraft production
the methods successfully used by the
Shipping Board through it's Emergency
Fleet Corporation.
A bill providing the necessary au-
thority was sent to the House and
Senate Military Committees. with the
approval of Secretary Baker. and Chair
man Chamberlain, of the Senate Com
mittee, introduced it. Under the meas
ure corporation might be formed
with maximum capital stock OF $780,
100000, owned by the government.
Chamberlain Frames Bill
One of the main purposes of the
proposed corporation will be to syn
chronize the efforts of American and
foreign aircraft builders so that their
needs for materials and parts may be
known sufficiently in advance to insure
their supply in needed quantities and
specifications. At the presnt time. ac-
cordng to Mr.. Ryan, there is much
because of this lack of cooperation.
The bill was framed by Senator
Chamberlain. 1t was referred to the
Committee on Military Affairs and Mr..
Ryan will appear before it to-day to
90 into details as to the needs for the
fiscal year of the eircraft braucn of
cur service.
AS yet no formal report by the in
vestigators OF the military committee
who were engaged last week in sur
vey of the aircraft production plants Of
New York State and the middle West
has been prepared. The Senators who
went on the tour returned encouraged
as to the certainty of general develop
,ment of quantity production in the near
future. They preserved suggestive
reticence in regard to the causes Of de-
Law in production, having takn q pledge
not to talk until their peport appears.
Details Not Completed
1t was said that the trip of inspec-
tion did not complete by any means
the investigation at first hand which
had been undertaken. For example,
at the Curtiss plant in Buffalo the in
vestigators passed only a day, and en-
gagged merely in a brief examination
of some of the departmental heads
of the enterprise.
They had no opportunity to investi-
gate conditions among workingmen in
regard to the accusations of virtual
sabotage laid against unidentified en-
ployes there by Senator Overman N.
c. in the Senate, when he produced
a steel bracket from one of the Bris-
tol planes which had been tampered
with SO as to render it unsafe for use
and charged that German agents had
been guilty of the offence.
Details of Mr.. Ryan's plan, which it
is expected will correct all of the evils
the investigating committee uncovered,
have not as yet been communicated to
Congress. 1t is understood, however,
that one of the immediate projects con-
templates the building of branch line
railroads into spruce forests in the
West to bring out timber for airplane
frames.
