War on Loafers Opens Monday;
25,000Here Must Find New Jobs
Many Difficulties Are Expected in Getting Positions for
Chronic Iders When Work or Fight and Anti
Loafing" Laws Become Operative

Barnes, another member of the COM
mission, state superintendent.
The rounding UP Of the loafers--
the industrial slackers--will be left
to the police and the Sheriff's office,
and the prosecution to the District
Attorney Sheriff Knott and Chief Of
Police Enright have practically COM
pleted their census of loafers and par
asites. Tiny are on the rosters of
the police and sheriff, and unless they
60 to work. they will be drafted into
the army.
Loafers Hard Hit
The main burden of the new law
will fall on the men who are loafers
by trade, the men who have lodged
necessity and have managed to live
without working steadily at any oc-
cupation.
For the Federal and state employ
ment bodies announce that they owe
the same duty to the employer as the
employe, and they are not going to
palm off my trash on men who want
workers willing and able to work.
Loafers, "lounge lizards" dancing
Bowery folk will be labeled as such.
There will be no false branding of
industrial material on the part of the
Federal and state employment bureaus.
An official Of the former said yester-
day that the Federal bureau would
register the goats as well as the sheep,
and would help the goats as much as
they could.
"But it is going to be very hard to
deal with the loafers and lounge liz
ards, professional crooks and ex-con-
victs who do not want to work." said
Charles B. Barnes, State Superintend-
ent of the United States Employment
Service. "The police and the Sheriff
and the District Attorney talk of
rounding them up and impressing them
to work, but who is going to be i'm
pressed into taking them? We certain
ly shall not tell any employer that they
are good, trustworthy men.
Must Shift for Themselves
GAS a matter of fact, these men will
have to shift for themselves. They
will have to hustle their own Jobs or
go to Jail. If anybody, knowing what
they are, will give them work to do, We
shall be glad to help place them"
Mr.. Barnes said that about 1000
women, members of the Women's Farm
Labor Reserve, were already stationed
in camps throughout the state, work.

Dual Monarchy
Shaken by Work
OF Anti-Germans
By George F. Steward
Especial Cable to The Tribune)

\Spect0t CGOtG to me Ir1bnne)
Copyright. 1918. by The Tribune Association)
ROTTERDAM. June 27.-The most Sc
rious factors in the Austrian dilemma
have now become political and mill
tary rather than purely economic. and
although the latest problems may di-
rcctly concern only a comparatively
small circle of intriguers, the effects
Of their Vaccinations will probably
shake the foundations Of the Dual
Monarchy deeper than the food demon
strations, which were the first and
more obvious signs of the latest up
heaval.
Vienna has literally been robbed Of
the bread of life, and there seems every
probability that the last breath Of
political freedom has also been denied
her by the farefaced system of open
absolutism.
The strong action of the Polish ele-
ment, with its marked antipathy for
its German neighbors, has resulted in
a recognized failure to secure anything
like constitutional government by a
majority. There seems to be nothing
left but the illegal absolutism which
now threatens at the most critical
period when the army is in retreat and
the populace is crying for bread.
The last provisional budget gave only
monetary supplies up to July /. In
other words, only another four days
and the Austrian government will be
compelled to get money Honestly" if
1T can, but get it. Sudden agreement
or extraordinary embarrassment, there
tore, seems inevitable.
This fact, coupled with the deter
mined anti-German action taken by the
roles, is causing considerable anxiety
IN Germany, especially as that country
Is unable to send the Poles food
enough to give real propaganda value

PEKING, Monday, June 24.-Paul S.
Reinsch, the American Minister, will
leave at the end of this week for the
United States. having been recalled for
conferences at Washington.
John V. A. MacMurray, counsellor Of
the embassy at Tokia. will come to
Peking as Charge d'Affaires, while Will
ing Spencer the first secretary here,
will go to Toxic.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-No par
ticular significance is attached at the
State Department to the return of
American Minister Reinsch from his
post at Peking. Mr.. Reinsch is to
take sixty-day vacation. While here
he ,wll confer with officers on the pro-
posed resumption of participation by
American fnanciers in Chinese loans,
which were discussed "in principle"
here yesterday by group of promi-
nent bankers and officials of the State
and Treasury departments.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-28

The United States is about to be
shifted completely over to an indus
trial war basis.
With the demands of war multiplying
during the past year, this process has
been under way for months. but the
final adjustment will begin next Mon
day, July l, and it is expected that it
will be completed by August /.
The "work or fight" decree Of Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder will be
in effect on Monday. On the same day
there goes into effect the state anti
loafing law. General Crowder's order
means that all men of draft age must
fight or labor at some essential in
dustry The state law means that all
men between the ages of eighteen and
fifty must be employed at some useful
occupation.
This mobilization has been under way
for some time. The United States EN-
ployment Service placed $4,000 men and
women in useful industries during May
in greater New York. Thousands of
men and women have registered with
the State Industrial Commission under
the anti-loafng act, thereby applying
for positions and signifying their will
ingness to be drafted for work.
Survey of Positions Begun
The last six weeks have seen many
branches of the Federal, state and mu
nicipal governments preparing for the
industrial changes, as follows:
The Federal Employment Service
has virtually usurped all the labor
agency functions of the State Indus
trial Commission to simplify the in
dustrial changes which must take
place.
This service has begun survey of
common labor requirements OF the
nations war industries for the next
three months and the common labor
reserves in each state. These two
estimates will be used as basis for
the allotment Of quotas of unskilled
labor which each state will be called
upon to furnish.
Registration stations have been
established for workers throughout
the whole country. There are seven
of these stations in greater New York.
The police, the Sheriff's Office and
the Office of the District Attorney
have organized departments to CO.
operate with the Federal and state
employment bodies in enforcing the
law compelling all able-bodied men to
work or fight.
Henry D. Sayer, member Of the
State Industrial Commission, has
been appointed Federal director Of
the United States Employment Ser
vice in this state, and Charles B.

American Wounded

Speedy Handling Aids SOL

PARIS, June 27.--Almost the last
batch of Americans wounded in the
recent German offensive. who are to
be removed from the base hospitals
In Paris and sent either to the United
States or to other hospitals in the
South of France for further treatment
and convalescence, will leave Paris
tonight on one Of the splendid Amer
lean hospital trains.
Their departure, which will leave
only a few hundred rapidly recover
ing American wounded in Paris hos
pitfalls, spells what the French de-
clare and the Americans believe will
be the speediest and most successful
handling and care of wounded on
record. The French, who have had
ample opportunity to see at first hand
the American methods. are frank in
their admiration, while the British
have found the trains so valuable
that they have borrowed three Of
them for their wounded.
The German offensive at its outset
was SO fast that several French hospi-
tails had to be given up in the retreat.
This increased the work of the rest
OF the hospitals, and especially the
labor Of the ambulance service in car
rying wounded to the rear.
The chief of the United States Army
Ambulance Service with the French
army.-a service replacing the old
American ambulance-dr upon his
resources of several thousand men and
rushed his Paris sections, together with
half hundred reserve drivers to the
front, where they picked up French
and Americans indiscriminately and
transported them to Paris so quickly
that the av.yage time from the battle
field to the Paris base hospitals, includ-
ing stop-off at preliminary dressing
stations or advanced hospitals, was cut
from two to four hours.

there is strong opposition within the
empire to Prussian militarism?
Whatever his motives, whether hon
est or dishonest, it is certain the Ger
man milirarists will redouble their ef
forts to win decision in the next few
months. Between Ludendorff and Won
Kuehlmann there is no question which
way the people will decide.
While Germany is seething with ex-
citement over the Won Kuehlmann af-
fair, the British House of Lords has
gone or record as favoring the policy
of league of nations, and the govern
ment is pledged to study the formation
Of such league. Great Britain and
America are getting into political step
and France will soon join them
While the quadruplice is slowly
crumbling, the grand alliance is being
more firmly knitted, not only militarily,
financially and economically, but also
politically.
The disaster which overlook Austria
and the uncertainty confronting Ger
many will not make for a stronger
alliance. If the Allies meet the test
of the next few weeks, and confidence
runs high, victory may come sooner
than the war map would indicate.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-28

Others are for inviting the advice and
assistance of the American Federation
Of Labor.
Postmaster Patten said the griev-
ance of the employees was news to him
and that he had never even heard Of
its cause. He said he did not know
that any charges had been filed against
the men.

filing of these charges till new,s said
Mr.. Patten. 81 know nothing about
the cause for filing such charges and

General Sarrail
Is Transferred to
French Reserve
M any Other Changes
Among Staff Officers
Announced

PARIS, June 27.--Transfer to the re-
serve of General Sarrail, who was re-
called last December as commander in
chief of the Entente Allied operations
in the Balkans, was announced in an
official list Of staff changes issued to-
night. Eight other major generals and
ten brigadier generals also are placed
in reserve.
Among the officers promoted are
Brigadier General Mordacq; head of the
military cabinet of the Minister Of
War; Brigadier General Maxine Wcy-
gand, former member of the Inter-
Allied Supreme War Council and now
assistant to General Foch, the supreme
commander. and Brigadier General
Passaga. They are made major gem
erals.
General NJ. P. +. Sarrail was replaced
December 10, 1917, by General NJ. L. A.
Guillaumat as commander in chief of
tne Allied forces in Macedonia, prob
ably as result Of revelations made
during the exposure Of Joseph Gail
iauX's connection with Bolo Pacha in
behalf of German interests. Docu-
ments were found showing that Gail
lauX plotted the overthrow of the gov
ernment by force and then intended to
make Sarrail commander in chief Of
the French army.
Sarrall was commander Of the army
OF Verdun at the outbreak of the war
and was responsible for the construc-
ton of the defences Of that fort. After
the battle of Verdun he was trans
ferred to command the French expedi-
ton to the Dardanelles, and on the
abandonment of operations in that
theatre was sent to Macedonia
General Maxine Weygand, who is re-
ported promoted from brigader general
to major general, was reported to have
received this same promotion in 1916
and to have been made a lieutenant
general in November, 1917. He has
been closely connected with General
toch throughout the war. He replaced
General Foch as the representative of
France at the 1nter-Alled Supreme
War Council at Versailles in December.
1917, and was replaced in April, 1918,
by General Belin in order to be- able
to devote his time to act as principal
assistant to General Foch

sons irving to drop bombs on them;
ask any of the officers who were need
ing more ammunition for their bat
teries; they'll tell you about the am
munition trains.
"The horses became frightened and
began to jump and plunge; in fact,
they always do-can't seem to get used
to it. The rain of shells became
heavier every hundred yards. Not
few limbers were hit-'napoo' for the
driver, his mates and the team. Some
times the horses scream-on the level,
actually scream-but the limbers COM
ing up behind have to get to their own
destinations and there is little time
to think of anything but ones own job,
and little enough for that.
Rush Through Barrages
THE noise of the traffic and the
smash of the shells drown the voices
of the drivers and the wall of the
approaching shells. Perhaps it is just
as we'll that they do, for it is not
possible for the men to leave the horses
and seek shelter. They just have to
drive right on through the barrage and
the pandemonium, gesticulating and
roaring themselves hoarse at horses
which do not hear and are too fright
ened to see. They are bearing the
mess tor the guns, "nlch must never
be starved.
"Not long ago an ammunition sec
ton went up the trail to the gun pits
at great rate, past every kind of OBJ
stacle, down into and up out of shell
holes, the horses stretching into the
pace like track racers and the driver
standing in his stirrups, roaring, ours
ing, tugging, like a man possessed.
He landed in great time and came to
halt in bog hole above the axles
in mud.
"A captain came along and congratu
lated the driver on his pluck and dar-
ing. Don't praise me- said the driver.
ITS the ponies you have to praise =
they got so scared of the shells that
| couldn't hold 'em and l was so scared
of their being scared that l couldn't
hold myself. If it hadn't been for that
mud hole l guess we would have been
way beyond the first line by this time.
We sure we're going some.'"
