GREAT IMPROVEMENT
MADE in SHIPPING
War Council Reports Important
Gains to House Committee.

Great improvement in the shipping
situation was reported yesterday by
the War Council of the War Depart
ment in its weekly conference with
the House Military Affairs Commit
tee.
Both in the number Of ships and In
speed made for the round trip, the
department said, new marks were be-
ing set. As against the old time of
from six TO eight weeks for a vessel
to go and return from Europe, void
ing submarines, recent record has
been made Of sixteen days. The net
result has been that troops and sup
plies are going across at a rate un-
thought Of only few weeks ago.
Only a brief study was made OF the
present stage Of the German offensive.
War Council members said that the
allies, in the respite between Teuton
blows, had improved their positions
and strength.
Aircraft remains q serious problem
with American troops. It was report
ed that both small arms. machine
gun and artillery supplies are in good

With LIBERTY BONDS
Representative Miller. in Patriotic
Address. Urges Support for Loan.

What a lesson there is to America
in the retreat of the Russians" said
Representative Miller, Of Minnesota
to the employees Of the Washington
Terminal Company. at a Liberty Loan
rally in the Union Station.
They did not retreat because they
were licked. but because of treason
at home. II there is retribution in
the universe, the traitors who be-
trayed Russia will sizzle and fry in
the hottest depths OF hell, and hope
that they do" vehemently declared
Mr. Miller, in an address in which
he urged his audience to assist in
destroying the work of the German
propagandists in this country and to
support the armies in the field by
the purchase of Liberty Bonds.
Mr.. Miller, who visited the battle
front Of Europe a few months ago,
also told his audience something OF
the conditions there. W. ]. Wilson,
superintendent of the Washington
Terminal Company, presided at the
meeting and introduced the speaker.
Preceding Mr.. Miller's address, q
number of patriotic songs were sung
by the audience of Terminal Com
pany employees and their friends, a
large number of whom were present.
At the close of the meeting, Liberty
Bonds were placed on sale. a large
number being sold.

MAY DUST TENANTS
FROM DISTRICT HOMES

Fear that the Secretary of Labor
might commander under the Swan
son housing bill. homes and DWELL
ings already occupied by residents
of Washington has led Senator Gal
.linger to seriously consider the in
PRODUCTION of an amendment to the
bill which will exclude homes now
occupied. =
As the bill now stands the secre-
tary Of Labor can commander any
body's house no matter who they
are or where the house Is located.
In order to house the thousands Of
government clerks who are coming
to the city every week, the Secre-
tary may. for all the Senate knows,
requisition homes occupied by per-
sons not engaged in war work, re-
gardless of whether or not they
own them or rent them. Not a
house in the city IL exempt accord
ing to the bill as It now stands,
and Senator Gallinger expressed
himself as being very much opposed
to that idea.

GERMANS FAKE news
FOR AMERICAN BOYS
Drop Fictitious Reports to Break
Morale of Soldiers.

Germany IL circulating leaflets
and fake newspapers among Ameri-
can soldiers in France in an effort
to destroy their morale. according
to advices received here. Army Of
ficers say the attempts to spread
dissension and fear among the men
of the expeditionary force have
proved to be boomerangs as they
have served only to increase the
fighting spirit in Pershing's men.
The Continental Times. printed in
the English language, and presum-
ably a full fiedged newspaper. has
again made its appearance. This
paper was distributed W d ell y
among the British forces earlier in
the war. 1t contains sensational re-
ports purporting to come from Lon
don and telling of the sinking of
American transports by U-boats.
Other articles attempt to show that
Great Britain plans an invasion OF
America from Canada.
The propaganda is tied to small
balloons sent UP at night when the
wind Is blowing toward the Ameri-
can trenches. The balloons fall
after being in the air a short time.
The American troops use the litera-
ture to start fires in their dug-out
stoves, often a hard job when only
damp kindling is available.
The last advices received from
American agents indicated that the
literature is being written in Berlin
by several renegade Englishmen aid
ed by an American. The American
is known to officials here as the
black sheep OF an illustrious Amer
ican family.

MUST TAKE civil
SERVICE TXAMS"
New Bureau of Mines Employees
Not to Be Exempted.

New employees Of the Bureau of
Mines who are to be employed when
the mining and minerals bill now in
the House becomes a law will be re-
CURED to take the regular civil ser
vice examination. an amendment to
that effect presented by Representa-
tive Robbins of Pennsylvania having
been adopted by the House yesterday.
The bill. introduced by Representa-
tive Foster Of Illinois, is designed to
control the distribution. conserve the
supply and facilitate the production
of minerals now almost entirely i'm
ported. and appropriates $50Ooo0oo for
that purpose. 1t was Representative
Fosters idea to allow the thousands
Of new employees to be hired to carry
out the provisions to forego the civil
service examinations and be employed
by the Secretary of the Interior ac-
cording to their various qualifica-
tions. The debate on the subject was
somewhat heated and insinuations
about the return to the spoils system
and deserving Democrats" were
freely cast about.

ROADS WILL Hold
EXPORT SHIPMENTS
No Freight Will Be Moved Unless
Licenses Are Procured.

The Railroad Administration. acting
In concert with the War Trade Board,
has adopted regulations under which
no freight for export willie be moved

Belief that Aircraft Head

Appointment of John d. Ryan. the
copper king, az director OF aircraft

confusion, according 10 many who
are interested In seeing the whole
program pushed through without an

Members OF Congress and oficials
In aircraft circles believe there should
be q separate Department of Aero

builder or expert, should have o more
general position and that Howard =.

which he II thoroughly conversant.

Capitol Is that Congress will give him
anything he wants with respect to
aircraft now. .'-...
