ALLIED SHIPPING
SITUATION CROWS
BETTER STEADILY

Washington, Feb. 20-The low point
of available Allied shipping has been
passed, two or three weeks earlier
than officials expected, and confidence
was expressed today that the amount
of shipping available for the future
would increase steadily.
Several factors were said to have
contributed to advancing the amount
of available tonnage. Included among
them were the increased efficiency of
the offensive against the submarines
and the beginning of deliveries from
American shipyards.
The transfer of neutral shipping to
trade outside of the war zone, thereby
releasing Allied tonnage for trans
atlantic service. also contributed to
the increase of available bottoms I'm
provement in harbor defenses and
facilities in France, so as to facili-
tate the unloading of transports, like
wise tended to speed up the release
of ships.
Food Administrator Hoover in a
statement today called on all patriotic
ship workers to enroll in the public
service reserve. No amount of in
creased food production, decreased
food use or food substitution and saw
ing will help unless ships for sending
food across the Atlantic are available,
he said.

FRENCH PAPER

Washington, Feb. 20.-The war de-

publication in France of a weekly
newspaper for the American troops.
The paper, entirely devoted to Amer
lean news, will be known as the Stars

In addition to matter sent by its

French government.
A feature service for the Stars and
Stripes also will be furnished by the
committee on public information and
arrangements have been made with
a syndicate for a weekly cable ser
vice.
Advertising contracts are being made
in this country and publication begins
with the promise that the Stars and
Stripes will be self-supporting.
Although official notification has not
been received, it is assumed that the

SCHRAMM Tells
TALE OF MURDER
OF CARY PRIEST
Describes to Capt. E. o.
Cronan Method Of Accom-
plishing the Crime.
NAMES "JOE THE WOP"
AS HIS ACCOMPLISH
Prisoner Believed to Be
Member of a Chicago
Gang of Bandits.
Wednesday, Feb. 20

Mike Schramm, the confessed MUIR
derer of Father Kayser, the Polish
priest in Gary, Indiana, nearly three
years ago, was again before Detective
Captain Cronan today and gave ad-
ditional details of how the priest was
done to death in a struggle to take
$4,000 away from him.
According to the latest story told by
the assassin, he met another man
known to him only as Joe the Wop'
in poolroom in downtown district
of Gary. Joe asked him if he was
game enough to go and get some mon
ey, and he answered that he was.
The pair went to the priests house
and Joe the Wop' took Schramm to
an open window through which he
showed the priest counting a huge
pile of money, the proceeds of a char
ity bazaar. Then he stationed
Schramm to guard the back door of
the house and he opened fire with a
revolver at the priest.
Apparently some of his shots went
wild for pictures of the priests study
show bullet marks all over the walls,
but all did not miss their mark and
the priest MORALLY wounded struggled
to his feet, ran through several rooms
of the house and out the back door
in vain effort to get help.
At the back door he was met by
Schramm, who struck him down with
g. heavy club. The priest dropped
and never moved. Schramm then,
according to his story, became terri
fed and ran. Joe the Wop," in the
meantime, had entered the house by
the open window and gathered up the
money, making off with the booty.
Schramm said he did not see Joe
the Wop" for several days afterward,
but when he did see him he asked
him about his share of the money,
only to be told you are lucky to be
alive much less whining about dough"
After this Schramm did not tarry
long in Gary, but came east He has
been in Bridgeport since last Septem-
her. shortly after which he came I'M
der the notice of Detective Captain
Cronan, who at that early date de-
cided that the man needed watching
The result was his arrest yesterday.
Schramm declared to Captain Gro
nan today that for the first time in
nearly three years he was able to
sleep and rest well last night He
seems anxious to make a clean breast
of his share of the murder, come to
trial, and have it all over with.
Captain Cronan is of the opinion
that Schramm is a member of the
bandit gangs that infested Chicago &
number of years ago and is putting
him under a continuous grilling in an
effort to worm out of him what con-
nection he had with a number of
other crimes committed by gangsters
in the Windy City.

UP
DRAFT FOR
new LAW
Second Consumption Awaits
Passage Of Pending
Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 20-SecTetary
Baker authorized the statement
today that no date had been Sc
Iected for the beginning of the
second draft.
The governments disposition
not to disturb the labor situation,
particularly on farms at the
planting season, is one of the fac
tors entering the situation.
The provost marshal generals
office, it is understood, is disin-
clined to go ahead with the Sec
Ond draft until congress has per-
fected the law by pending amend
ments to change the basis of APP
portiOnment and to authorize the
president to call the military SER
vice men skilled in industry and
agriculture regardless of previous
classification.
The remaining increments of
the first draft will begin to move
forward to the camps beginning
this week. 1t is probable that
next month local boards may be
asked to forward small increments
necessary to succeed men going
overseas, but the expected sum-
mons of half a million men will
be later.
Plans for the second draft in
cIude calling 100000 a month UNI
til the second quota is complete.
In that way officials expect to
avoid much of the confusion that
accompanied the fist call. The
men will report in a steady
stream and be assimilated into
the military machine before the
next lot is received.
1t has been definitely settled
that the first cOntingents will be
used to fill vacancies in National
Guard divisions caused by the
withdrawal of men for the orga-
nization of special technical units.
Similar vacancies in the National
Army divisions win have been fill
ed by that time from the final in
crement of the first draft.

The German Independent Socialists
are arranging for a demonstrative
strike in the munitfon factories of the

to information received from Berlin

Gen. Hoffman,, the German mill
tary representative at the Brest-
Litovsk peace conference, has tele-

for a written authorization of the
Russian wireless peace message sent
yesterday to Berlin. Gen. Hoffman,,
according to a Russian official state
ment today, says the Authorization

MONTANA WILL

The Montana state fuel administra-

burners and use the soft coal pro-
