Canada's Supreme
Court Holds ARMY
Draft Law Valid

OTTAWA, July 19.-Constituton
lty CT the amended military service
act, abolishing certain exemptions, was
upheld by the Supreme Court of Can
ada to-day in dismissing the applica-
tion for a writ of habeas corpus made
on behalf Of a drafted man. The ap-
peal division of the Supreme Court of
Alberta had previously decided the
amended law was invalid.
The whole fabric Of the Canadian
draft law was involved in the case, and
an adverse decision, it is believed,
would have necessitated an extraordi-
nary session of Parliament.
The status of 10000 men now in
service hinged upon the highest tri-
bunal's ruling, Chief Justice Sir
Charles Fitzpatrick, Sir Louis Davies
and Justices Duff and Anglin sustain
ing the legality of the order-in-coun-
Gil of April 20 and Justices Ellington
and Brodear dissenting.
Many on Way Across
Many of the conscripted men already
are on their way overseas, but a ma
jority Of them are in Canadian train
ing camps. The lower courts were
besought, on behalf of some Of the
draftces, who tried to cvadc service,
for writs Of habeas corpus. A dozen
such men in Sarcee Camp, near CAL
gary, were granted the writs, but the
military authorities refused to recog-
nlze them or surrender the soldiers.
Lieutenant Colonel Phil Moore. the
commandant to whom the order Of the
Supreme Court of Alberta was direct
ed, was adjudgcd in contempt. and a
Sheriff was ordered to bring him into
court. Moore's, superiors instructed
him to resist. and serious trouble was
avcrted on July 13 when both sides
reached compromise, the army au-
thorities agreeing not to send the SOL
Giers overseas until the Supreme Court
OF Canada had passed upon the case
Army Given Full Power
The decision establishes the right
of the government to suspend the
habeas corpus under the military ser
vice act.
Under the authority of the amended
military service act, established by
orders in-council and approved by res
olution of both houses Of Parliament
the government cancelled the eXemp-
tions held by unmarried men between
twenty and twenty-five years old, in
elusive.
The validity of the orders-in-council
was contested on the ground that they
were unconstitutional; that amend
ment to the military service act should
have been made by an act of Parlia-
ment instead of by order-i council

today give prominence to a report of
a new type Of British airplane, which,
having been tested at the front with
success. is about TO be employed there
In large numbers.
No technical details are given. but it

bic of carrying great weight in bombs,
machine guns and other equipment, and
Of attaining height of 10000 feet in
an astonlshingly short time.

distances at a speed which leaves ali
but the fastest modern scouting raa-
chimes far behind, and thus is able to
cross the enemy's lines and drop bombs
and return for fresh load within a
time limit far less than any of the
earlier airplanes.
The engines of the airplane are de-
CARED to be so completely reliable that
TIsk of compulsory descent into the en-
emys territory is eliminated. 1t is
added that not one of these wonder
machines has yet been downed, not

u. S. Orders Closing
OF Page-Shaw Stores
Especial Dispatch to The Tri5une)


WASHINGTON, July 19-Page &
Shaw, included among the leading con-
fectioners of the country, have been
forced to close their New York factory
and their five New York stores for one
week, beginning July %, and to post
signs stating they have been closed for
violating food administration rulings.
In addition, they must turn over to the
government all supplies of sugar above
those needed to meet their require
ments for thirty days. This amounts
to about 81 900 pounds.
The penalty was imposed after an in
vestigation by the Now York Federal
Food Board and approved by the food
administration in Washington. At a
hearing in New York it was shown the
company had boarded sugar and had
used it in excessive quantities.
Under a food administration regula-
tion, effective July l, confectioners are
limited TO so per cent of their re-
quirements last year. On this basis
Page & Shaw had on hand in New York
four months. while the food admins
tration prohibits holding more than
thirty days supply
The New York manager admitted he
had been carrying about three months
supply, adding that no sugar had been
purchased since May. This indicated
that before the so per cent limitation
became effective he had been even higher
above the thirty days requirement.
Page g. Shaw We're warned about two
months ago by the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Massachusetts that
sugar holdings at their Boston plant
seemed excessive, and they were given
a clear Interpretation of the food ad-
ministration's attitude.

New Workers Rush
To Enlist When
Battle News Comes

Echoes from the Yankee smashes on
the Marine resounded in New York City
yesterday on the steps leading up to
the army, navy and marine corps re-
cruiting rooms. Hundreds, impelled by
the thrill in every line of the war
news, men above and below the draft
age and registrants in deferred classes
eagerly beseeched place with the ad-
vancing men Of Pershing.
Friday according to recruiting Of
ticers, is the poorest enrolment day
OF the. week, under ordinary circum-
stances. But yesterday, through the
pressure Of the American successes,
was record day.

Fla. for flying serVi ice. He has been
in command Of the local Marine Corps
recruiting since America entered the
war. Lieutenant George Kneller, who
received his commission June 3, and
who succeeds Lieutenant Gardner, re-
ported seventy recruits taken, out of
800 applicants.
AT the navy recruiting station, in
East Twenty-third Street, ninety-si::
men, almost doubling Thursdays en-
hstments, were accepted. In other navy
recruiting stations throughout the city
almost as many more were enrolled
The station at Twenty-third Street
had its own casualties, in the fainting
OF pair of twins who were rejected.
The two were exact in every measure
ment. Both fulfilled every physical re-
qulremcnt and were ready for enrol
ment when it was discovered that they
were afflicted with a disease of the ear,
slight, but enough to cause their rejec-

examining physician both paled and
one OF them dropped over unconscious.

"Hobo King" Plans
Hotel de Gink for
Our Fighting Men
Jeff Davis Proposes Free
Lodging in Old St. Denis
and Astor House

A Hotel de Gink for the soldier or
sailor who comes to New York with
plenty of leave but very little money
is to be established. it was announced
by the founder of the original, the
hobo king" jeff Davis, yesterday.
New York is making buns out Of
soldiers and Sailors" said Mr.. Davis.
"Exactly one thousand of them sleep
IN New York every night on someth ing
besides bed. 1t may be park bench,
or 1T may be dock, or it may be a
Staten Island ferry, but it's anything
but bed, for we're shy just one thou
sand Of them every night in the week
except Saturday. And Saturday we
need five thousand"
To Be Self-Sustaining
A hotel that is absolutely self-sus-
tanning is contemplated by Mr.. Davis,
who wants the new establishment run
on precisely the same plan as was his
hotel for hoboes at Worth and Centre
streets. There is to be no charge for
the accommodations, as, according to
Mr.. Davis, "there never was sailor
or soldier in the world that isn't
broke all the time"
ne guests OF the new service MOTEL
will make their own beds, cook their
own meals, wash their own linen, and
thus relieve the management of the
expense of maids, cooks and laundry
workers. Foodstutfs will be procured
from commission merchants and paid
for by few hours of honest toll by the
soldiers and sailors themselves. Mess
duty or mop duty will be nothing in
the lives of the men in the service, Mr..
Davis argues, if it means a meal and a
bed as compensation.
Two Buildings Available
Mr.. Davis said yesterday that he al
ready has the Endorsement of several
of the members of the Mayors Com
mittee on National Defence for his
project and has been promised furthe
cooperation. He hopes to get the gov
ernment to buy the cots, and has been
promised the use of the old St. Denis
Hotel and the old Astor House, pro-
vided they can be repaired to meet the
fire laws. The original Hotel de Gink
is to be turned over next month to the
Federal Employment Bureau.
