GERMAN WAR BOOTY
ATTRACTS BIG CROWD

The train bearing German war
booty arrived in this city on schedule
time today and buglers from the
train went through the city an
nouncing the arrival OF the relics.
Hardly had the train slowed down
before people began gathering and
soon the crowd became so dense that
one could hardly squeeze alongside
the cars. The many kinds Of death
dealing instruments and ammunition
were great curiosity to the people
and the by the time the train left at
/ o'clock fully 1000 interested spec
tators had given the articles on dis
play the once over. One large Ger
man gun was captured by Americans
who accounted for the last Internal
Hun operating 1t. The shield on the
gun was perforated until 1t looked
like sieve. The piece was finally
put out OF service by a monster she'll
which burst on It.
For time the exhibit put a quiet
us on the soliciting of Liberty bonds
for >the reason that most everyone
was at the train, but 1t gave us an
idea Of what our boys are going
against on the western front and
was worth going miles to see.

Ellis Island Soon
To Be War Base
Army and Navy Will Utilize
Immigrant Station. Now
Almost Idle
[Stuf Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The army
and navy, through arrangements soon
to be completed with the Bureau OF
immigration of the Department OF
Labor, will use most of the property
at Ellis Island for war purposes
Secretary of War Baker announced to-
day.
The army will utilize a portion OF
the property as hospital and as an
army post for casuals returning from
France.
The navys portion of the property
will be used as an assembling point
for armed guards of merchant ships
and for officers and men who are re-
levcd from patrol duty in American
waters.
The plans thus far outlined con-
template the retention of the immi-
grafton station at Ellis Island. but.
due to the falling off in immigrants,
only small part of the facilities are
required for this purpose.
When the army and navy take
charge of the property, it is. planned
to remove the persons now held at the
island by the Department of Justice
to one of the internment camps of the
army, either at Fort Oglethorpe or
Fort Mcpherson. Those who are held
for investigation and not actually
classified as enemy aliens are to be
removed to another point of deten-
tion not yet selected

$5OO,O Is Asked
To Transport Men
To u. S. Positions

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Transpor-
tation of workers enrolling for indus.
trial war service will be provided in
a revolving fund of 100000 which, the
Department of Labor to-day announced
has been asked of Congress. Advances
would be repaid either by the workers
or by their employers, according to the
individual arrangement.
Appropriations for transportation and
for housing, $5O,00O,O0O having been
asked for the latter, are expected by
officials of the department to 90 far
toward solving the apparent labor
shortage, which they say is not a short
age at all but merely a problem in
distribution and of providing salts
factory living quarters. Inability of
many workers to pay travelling ex-
penses over great distances has proved
handiacp in recruiting workers. The
proposed scheme was evolved as a solu-
tion after a study of the British dis
tribution system.
"In order that the advances may be
instituted at once in the interests Of
shipbuilding," Assistant Secretary Post
said, t'and for harvest labor during the
latter part of May and the whole
month of June, an urgent deficiency
New-York tribune., 1918-02-12

appropriation for the present fiscal
year is necessary.
TO make an exact estimate of the
amount that may be needed is not pos
sble in the absence of sufficient Amer
lean experience. but needs for workers
IN shlpyards' construction total about
tour hundred thousand, and the aver
age travel is about one hundred miles,
at three cents mile. This would re-
quire $1,2OO,O00, but as travelling ex-
pense advances will, as a rule, be
promptly repaid, the amount necessary
TOR capitalizing the fund would doubt
less be very much less.
"Inasmuch, however, as the turnover
of this fund is not likely to be more
rapid than bi-monthly, and as heavy
drafts will be made upon it within the
next six months, considerable part
OF the advance will not be repaid until
after the end of the present fiscal year.
Consequently, a capital fund of $780,
600 might not leave much margin"
Appointment of Otto M. Eidlitz, a
New York architect and builder, as di-
rector OF housing, was announced to-
night by the Department Of Labor. Mr..
Eldlitz, who was chairman of the Coun-
Gil of National Defence's sub-commit-
tee on housing, will have control of all
the governments activities in provid-
ing living facilities for industrial
workers other than those employed in
shipyards.
Secretary Wilson to-day gave his
full approval to the plan for the Ship
ping Board to go ahead and provide
housing for shipyard employees.

Government May Draft
Shipbuilders. Savs Piez

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Fear that in
dustrial draft may have to be resorted
to in order that necessary shipbuilders
may be obtained for government work
was expressed by Charles Piez, gen.
cral manager of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, who arrived here to-day.
"The manufacturers Of the country
must see that we get some of their
best men to assist in building ships,'
said Mr.. Piez. "If we do not get them
through the manufacturers, we may
have to resort to an industrial draft,
which would practically mean the shut
ting down of certain industries to re-
lease their men for the more important
task that now confronts us.'
More than 1000 men lined up at the
Offices of the State Council of Defence
during the day and declared their will
ingness to serve the government.
