.ASSERTS WILSON SCANS CLOSELY
 :. WAR WORK ITEMS
Hurley Tells Manufacturers He Knows More About
 Costs Than Is Thought.
STRONGLY AGAINST
 ANY PROFITEERING
Shipping Board Head Says Merchants Should Learn
 of New Marine Service.

Chicago June 2S.-An intimate pie ture of President Wilson's familiarity with the industrial phases of Ameri- ca's war organizations was given by Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the a meeting here of the Illinois Manu- facturers' association.
 we are applying manufacturing principles to the ship building business and we find these methods suce essful,' 3 MT. Hurley said. Incidentally, it may interest you to know that the methods adopted have been followed with close interest by President Wilson. You probably think of the President as a man so overburdened with work and the statement of policies that he has little time to study methods.
 T think there is no impropriety ir telling you that the President handles all his work so systematically that he finds time to give a part of his atten- ton even to the more intimate prob lems of the various departments.
 "You know how steadily I preached knowledge of manufacturing cost: when I was chairman of the Federa' Trade Commission. The President knows more about costs than any o1 you woulo believe to be possible in the case of a great war executive. YoI know that Congress allotted the Pres ident an appropriation of $100, ,00( for emergency war purposes. He pur- posely kept his own accounts and vol may be confident that every dollar wal | k,S ton.
 ''The President has been steadfast 1T his determination that there shall bt no prof1teering in this war, and I an willing to stand sponsor for the fac that he knows what constitutes profit eering and what, on the other hand 1 constitutes margin of profit that en ables the manufacturer to expand hi plant to meet the nations needs il 1 this war.
 President Wilson's whole though 1 is given to the successful prosecution 1 of this war, and when the end of i comes America will have the con sciousness that there will be no repe tition of it, and that the peace of tn world will be secure. Under his lead ership the country is reconstructinj itself not merely for the length of tn war, but for the enduring peace of tn future"
 Chairman Hurley told the manufac turers that they could not afford t wait until peace is declared befor beginning preparations for the wis employment of Americas enormou ] new mechant marine

 The winner of this suite may choose between mahogany or walnut, or may choose any suite or any mer- chandise in the store and $125 will be credited against such selection.
 Much has been written about this magnanimous offer of the Clerk Fur niture Co.,, but we want to add that in the entire commercial history of Bridgeport no merchant has ever made more unselfish or a more pa trtotic donation. Mir Morrison not only gave the suite (without strings of any sort) but also prepared signs in abundance annoucing the offer also devoting upwards of s200 of ad- vertising space, delegating one man of the store staff to sell thrift stamps, all of which detail was financed by the Clerk Co.
 That nearly s5,oOO will be realized by the sale of stamps during the two weeks proves the merit of the prop osition and is mute evidence of the help accorded the War Savings Com nittee.
 The accompanying illustration of hugh circus wagon bedecked in Thrif: Stamp signs. which appeared in the Barnum & Bailey circus parade last week is but another of the Tive wire" publicity stunts which Mir Morrison evolved as a means to further co-op- crate in the sale of these little baby bonds"

CHIEF TEUTON SPY FAILING BODILY
 IN N. Y. TOMBS

New York, June 2s.---John Hanley, warden of the Tonlbs prison, advised United States District Attorney Caf- fey yesterday that Franz von Rin- telen, the German agent, who has been in the Tombs since last Decem- her, had failed physically to such an extent since Secretary Lansing de- cnned to return him to Germany in exchange for American prisoners that his transfer to some other institution was advisable.
 Won Rintelen's depression has grown, Warden Hanley declares, since he read the accounts of Italian sue cesses on the ,Piave, and Gen. Peyton c. March's statement that 90000O American troops were already in France. Dr.. Perry Lichtenstein, the Tombs physician, stated that the pris- oner had become very nervous and irritable and that his general condi- ton was very poor.

MEN DRAFTED
 60 TO DEvENS
 WEEK OF JULY 2

Hartford, June 2S-EEajor John Buckley sent to local draft boards notices that the men. drafted under the call issued June 22 will be en- trained for Camp Devens during the week beginning July 22. The en- trainment will begin on Monday of that week and continue for five days. The call is for 2,S07 men for general service to be taken from class 1. The call was received from Washington June 22 and it was thought best to withhold the publication of it until Major Buckley had communicated with the different boards and ascse- tained the number of men each had in class 1. He has now received re- ports from all the boards and they show that there are 2,306 men avail able to make up the call quota for Connecticut, or just one less than the required number. Major Buckley mo- tified every local draft board in the state this forenoon to suspend at once the issuing of certificates for enlist ment in the navy. He has taken this step so as to forestall a disposition on the part of any of the men in class 1 to make application for this certificate and to use it as reason for claiming exemption from the draft. No more certificates for en- listment in the navy will be granted to those registered June 5, 1917 un- til the present call is completed. Class 1 of this registration is now wiped empty or in the words of an official it has been wiped out. But it is ex- pected that the process of cornbing other classes which has been institut- ed the class will be recruited to a large number.

DEALERS MUST GET
 POULTRY LICENSES

Hartford, June 2S-Under a procla- nation of May IA so-called operators of poultry and egg packing and stor- age plants were ordered to obtain licenses. Under an interpretation today of the order accompanying the proclamation the scope of the license is greatly enlarged, so that any mer- chant who deals in eggs and poultry and any farmer who sells either to q dealer or to packer must have d license.
 The interpretation points out that many merchants at country stores buy eggs and poultry from farmers and because their real sales are small they have believed that a H- cense was not necessary. A license will be necessary. and farmer will need a license unless he deals ont eggs and poultry direct to a con- sumer

 Since the issuance by this govern ment on May 2S of the statement re- garding the natiolalistic aspirations for freedom of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugoslavs,, German and Austrian officials and sympathizers have sought to mdsinterpret and distort it's mani fest interpretation.

SEEK MEN FOR COMMISSION TO
 VISIT RUSSIA U. s. Plan So Far Advanced Personnel of Body Is
 Discussed. MUST UNDERSTAND
 SLAV CONDITIONS It Is Not Expected Work of Political Nature Will
 Be Done.

Washington, June 2S-Plans for sending a commission to Russia to assist that country economically and industrially have advanced to the point where it is possible to announce on official authority that the person. nel of the commission is now discuss led.
 Men familiar with industrial con dit;ons in Russia and especially those acquainted with the transportation systems of the country are sought. The delicate work which the com mission will be called upon to per firm in dealing with numerous fac tions in a country just beginning to work out it's destiny will require that each person selected be weighed care fully as to his fitness. It may be some weeks before the personnel is completed.
 The decision to fulfill President | Wilson's pledge that the United | States stand back of Russia ready to give any aid possible. it is under stood, will not be changed by devel- opments there. In fact, the possible shifting of governmental control is regarded as more likely to hasten the ] departure of the commission than to retard it.
 1 It is not contemplated that the commission will undertake any work | of a political or diplomatic nature, ex- cept in so far as 1t is necessary for accomplishing it's purposes in an in- dustrial way. For that reason the chairman likely will not be a mar connected with the government. or who has held high position and beer constantly in public life. Rather. il is hoped to find men for the com. mission who have been intimately connected with big enterprises, anG who can approach the Russians witt singleness of purpose to offer ex-
 pert advice on internal reconstruc. ton.
 The object of the commission vii be solely to help Russia. There vii be no show of force accompanying |;
 but it Is expected that due precar tions will be taken to safeguard the | lives of the memb bers. If any actiot becomes necessary it will be. of 2 police nature rather than military.
 Activities of the commission natur, 1 ally will be determined to & grea
 extent after they have reached Si beria and begun a study of :he situa tion. The commission wili go will
 virtually free hands, to work as uEit -or separately as it. sees fit. |
