Laadon, Jan S.--The bolsfevist are
definitely strengthening the front. Pet
rograd advices say. The correspondent
of the Daily News obtained this in
formation from NJ. Radek, one of the
Russian delegates, who took a promi-
nent part in the negotiations with the
Austrians and Germans at Petrograd.
He said the bolshevist were Intending
to send home all who did not wish to
fight, so that they would have an army
which was willing to fight for an ideal.
The correspondent asked: What
would be the attitude of the bolshevists
in case OF actual war; with regard to
help from the allies?"
M. Radek replied:
We do not desire their help. Our
strength lies in our weakness, and ii
we accepted help from the allies the
significance of our position would be
destroyed The weaker we are the
stronger we are. The Germans can
drive us back, but what good would 1t
do them?"
"The country behind the front has
been stripped bare. There is not enough
there to feed single horse. The Ger
mans will not wish millions of starv-
ing persons on their hands.

ATTRACT MANY
Applicants For Jobs In
Most Cases Are Past
Draft Age.

New York, July S-The anti-loafng
law which Monday, the first day Of
it's operation. brought 6,247 appli-
cants for work to the various federal
titled itself again yesterday when
5000 more men came looking for en-
pIoyment, and 1,747 of them were as
signed to tasks which will aid directly
in winning the war.
The men appeared in large num-
bers at all of the IL offices which the
government has established in this
city as bureaus for the recruiting of
war labor, more than 5000 of them
applying at the main Office, % East
22nd street. The lines of waiting men
had thinned but little when the offices
closed for the day at 4 o'clock, and
as many applications as yesterday are
expected for today.
The offices will be closed tomorrow,
and so that no worthy men need spend
the nations birthday in apprehension
the police will make no arrests be-
tweenn today and Friday.
The officials in charge of the labor
bureaus found qualification yesterday
| in the fact that nearly all the men
who came to them were beyond the
military draft age, and some disap-
| pointment in the fact that about 70
per cent of them were unskilled.
| There was also an embarrassing per-
| centage of clerks, timekeepers and
| checkers, and until some plan is de-
vised by which these latter can be
given useful work they will have to
wait for assignments.
| The bureau chiefs we're gratif1ed
also by the fact that but few of the
applicants raised any objection to as
signments which placed them at work
in places remote from this city. A
number were sent upstate and to
| Connecticut, and some as far away as
West Virginia. Of the few applying
who proved to be highly skilled me-
chanics, nearly all were foreigners
whose inability to get good work was
due to their unfamiliarity with Eng
| glish. One man was discovered to
be of aristocratic birth, but in decay
ed circumstances. He had a untver-
| sity education but no trade. When
however, it developed that he spoke
seven languages he was quickly as
signed as interpreter to a shipyard
where his talents will net him $44
a week and overtime.
For the benefit of whoever is rea.
sonably qualified it was announced
| that the bureaus are in crying need OF
500 carpenters, 500 boilermakers, 40C
ironworkers and 200 constructors.

SUNDAY MOVIES
MAY Be BANNED
Gotham Justice Upholds
Law Forbidding Paid Film
Shows on Sabbath.

New York, July 3-The much agi-
tated but recently dormant question
of whether Sunday motion picture
exhibitions to which an admission fec
is charged, are permissible in this
State, was answered negatively in
Brooklyn, yesterday, when Justice
Fawcett, in the Supreme Court, dis
missed write of ha5eas corpus by
which Nathan Goldstein, proprietor
of the Palace Theatre at Patchogue
L. L, had hoped to prove his arrest
there on June was illegal.
Justice Fawcett declined to pass
upon the question of whether the ar
rest of Goldstein was valid, but in
refusing to sustain the writ and re-
commencing that Goldstein should
make his appeal to the Court of APP
peals, he left open the way for tbs
police authorities on all of Long Is
land, including Brooklyn and Coney
Island, to close motion picture thea
tres on Sundays for the rest of the
summer.
Unless the higher court should
break precedent to pass upon the
Goldstein case Immediately, it was
pointed out by the anxious movie
men, there is no way by which de-
cision could be hoped for before next
autumn, when the court reconvenei
after the summer recess.
The decision shocked the movie
theatre proprtetors at Coney Island
and other summer resorts on Long
Island whose greatest income is de-
rived from Sunday crowds.

is not sufficient as the regular treat
ment cov~Ee a period of 80 days or
more.
1t was reported from Fairfield that
citizens of that town were alarmed
yesterday when a dog ran amuck

everyone and everything that came
in it's way. 1t escaped in the direc-
ton of the meadows where large
posse is now searching for it that i

REPRIEVES COHEN
IN BAFF MURDER

The governors reprieve postponed
execution of Cohen until the first week
of October. 1t was granted with the
understanding that unless Simon has
been tried before that date the re-
prieve will be extended until Simon
has been tried.
Cohen has been in the death house
since July 27, 1917, when he was con-
victed before Justice Tompkins and a
jury in the supreme court. He was
arrested 10 months after the Staying
of Baff had caused a sensation in New
York second only to that which fol-
lowed the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai, the gambler, because, like Ro-
seminal, it was alleged the murder
had been done by professional gun
men who did their work under hire.
Bats killing, it was alleged, was
prompted by business rivals, who We're
declared to have suffered when the
poultry king" cut prices. The police
caught the actual slayers of Baff
without much trouble, but getting the
men who instigated the crime was a
different matter.

she failed to testify against him. AS
a consequence the New Haven author'

detail how he forced her to live life
