Commission Inspects Ship
Commissioner Charles r. Page, mem
Der of the Shipping Board from Cali
fornia. came to New York yesterday
to inspect the Austin. which is the
first Federal training ship to be put
into operation. He saw apprentices
doing the actual work of sailors, fire
men. oilers, water tenders, coal pass
ers, cooks and stewards, under the
supervision of Captain Charles f.
Kemp.
"This training system was conceived
by Henry Howard. Of Boston," said
Commissioner Page, "and the Shipping
Board Recruiting Service. which he is
now directing. has begun great work
for the American merchant marine
"The operation Of free government
navigation and marine engineering
schools. from the Atlantic to the Pa
citic, for the training of experienced
men for officers and the training Of
American youths for crews means that
the Shipping Board will have Amcri-
can officers and men for the new

Plan Drive to Enroll
Children of Nation

The Council educational Defence, in
cooperation with the United States Bu-
reau of Education, is about to start a
nation wide movement to organize the
75O, 900 teachers and 22,000,0O0 students
Of the nation for national service. An
nouncement that this campaign is about
to be started was made yesterday by
DR.. Henry NJ jackson, special agent of
the Bureau Of Education, in an address
before the alumni of Teachers College,
Columbia University.
DR.. Jackson explained that it was the
intention of the directors Of the drive
to establish little democracies through
out the country, with the schoolhouses
as their centres.
"Such an organization, believe" he
said, "is the most efficient means
through which to mobilize the intelli-
gencc, sympathy and material re-
sources of the people on behalf Of the
cause of democracy"

to America to provide them.

Draft Dodgers Prefer Prison Garb
To Khaki, Declares Sheriff Knott
Men Break Law to Evade Service He Says-Woud Make
Them Do Their Bit-Tells How Slayer Resented
Taunt of Stacker

Many draft shirkers prefer to wear
dull gray prison garb rather than the
khaki uniform of soldier in the Ma
tional Army, Sheriff D. II. Knott, who
conducts convicted men from
this city to Sing Sing Prison, said yes
tcrday. In public statement he urged
legislative action to prevent unpa-
trlotic young men from evadng mill
tary service by committing petty
crimes which entail prison terms.
II do not believe" Sheriff Knott
added, "that we want such slackers in
the ranks Of our brave soldiers. but I
do believe there should be law
nassed to compel them to do their bit.
They might do menial duty in the
camps, clean out the trenches or even
dig the graves for the bodies of the
brave men who have been willing to
go over the top and have made the
supreme sacrifice"
The Sheriff said that he had person
ally overheard the conversations of
splneless evaders, and was convinced
that they deliberately became con-
victs to avoid being soldiers.
Dodger Prefers Sing Sing
One Of these draft eligibles, accord
ing to the Sheriff, was heard to remark
on his way up the river, "Well, l had
rather go up the river and do my bit
than go over the top and get killed.
Believe me, Sing Sings better"
And Mr.. Knott declared another was
beard to say: "They treat you fine in
Sing Sing. You can read and play
baseball, and have plenty to eat, while
over in France fighting the Hun you
are exposed to all kinds of danger and
are likely to get killed"
"Of course" the Sheriff continued.

German Furniture Famine
Forces Cities Into Trade

Germany is suffering a furniture
famines owing to the suspension Of
f.rniture making during the war, to
such am extent that the municipalities
Of greater Berlin have been compelled
to entet the industry in order to pro-
vide the absolutely necessary furniture
for the-poorer classes.
Hospitals and other municipal instr
tutions serve as gathering places for
furniture belonging to deceased Ber-
liners, and the collected furniture is
carpenter shops.
Recent Berlin papers add that the
municipality is also having designs
made for simple suites of living room
and bedroom furniture, and has ap-
piled TO the army authorities 10 supply
the necessary woods to make the de-
sired pieces at moderate cost.

Price of Fresh Eggs Lower
In Chicago; May Drop Here

The fact that fresh eggs dropped
in price in Chicago yesterday from
81 to 45 cents leads food dealers
here to believe that a corresponding
decrease in price will be noticed in
this city. probably beginning to-day.
63 and 81 cents. The drop in Chicago
is probably due to mild weather. food
experts declare, and continuing good
weather here may start the hens to
work so that in short time eggs
may be much lower.

100000, 600 TO BE RAISED FOR

No agency in the world is doing
SO much to relieve suffering and aid
| to the comforts of the brave boys
who are now lighting our battles as
the Red Cross and no other so fully
is entitled to our sympathy and sup
port. The need of money to con-
tinue and increase the scope of work
that the noble women and men are
engaged in for humanity is urgent
and the National Association Of
which Woodrow Wilson is president,
has asked the American people to
contribute $100,000,000 to the
cause, and sKentuckians are asked
for 100000 of it. Cashier John r.
Downing, of the Phoenix and Third
National Bank, of Lexington, has
been made State Chairman and Mr..
S. w. Calder, Executive Secretary,
with Offices at Lexington. They will
be supported by board of compe-
tent men selected from all over the
State, who bring business methods
and enthusiasm to the cause.
The drive for raising Kentucky's
quota will be made during the week
of May 20-27 and arrangements are
being perfected for it's success. The
intervening time will be used to Gre
ate interest in the matter and awak-
en- the people to the duty of contrib
| uting with unstinted liberality to
the glorious cause. Chairmen are
being appointed for each county and
the amount that each will be asked
to give fixed. These chairmen will
meet with the board in Louisville.
April %.
Already interest has been aroused
in sections of the State, and people
are going to work not only to raise
the requisite amounts, but to send
it away over the top. For instance,
the w. G.. Duncan Coal Co., Of
Greenville, which operates the Ora
ham and Lucerne mines, has given
the output of day and the miners
their wages to the Red Cross, the op
orators in addition contributing dol
lar for dollar with the amount of the
wages of the men, who number some
500. This coal will be shipped with
the Red Cross seal on it and sold
for the benefit of the organization
and is expected to bring much more
on that account. All the mines in
the State will be asked to make
similar contributions and speakers
will visit them to tell what the Red
Cross is doing and why it needs our
assistance.
In Warren County, the great
strawberry section, Mr.. Charles ).
Nahm has secured from the Straw
berry Association a car load of ber-
ries for shipment east to be auction
ed off for the benefit of the Red
Cross, each box and crate to he
marked with it's seal and they will
doubtless bring large amount to
add to the fund. Mr.. Nahm is also
arranging to have a car load of hogs
contributed, with every prospect ct
success. He is one of the wide
awake men Of the State, and fully
imbubed with the worthiness of the
cause and the necessity of the great
est liberality towards it, 1t is hoped
that these examples will be emulat
ed and that each part Of the State
will vie with the others in raising
the largest amount.
