Sugar and Flour Lost
In Warehouse Collapse

Three floors of the four-story ware
house of the Atlanta Warehouse Com
pany, 1 Gansevooft Street, overladen
with thousands of bags of -four and
sugar, gave way yesterday with roar
that startled the ighborhood and
filed the cellar TO the brlm with the
cake mixture. Deputy Fire Chief Mar
tin estimated The value OF the sugar
and -four at $4,000
Immediately after the collapse the
walls of the structure bulged, over
hanging the sidewalk in several places.
Chief Martin and patrolmen from the
Charles Street police station declared
Hudson, Gansevoort and West Ihir-
teenth streets a danger zone in the
vicinity OF the warehouse and roped It
off, preparatory to an attempt to use
guys and props ii an effort to prevent
further co apse.
The walls might fall at any mo-
ment, Chief Martin said Fremen

men were posted as sentries to warn
away traffic The west wal of the
building, fronting on Hudson Street,

Churches Observe
Children's S Day by
Pleas for Babies
Many Pastors Urge Congre-
cations to Join Campaign
to Save 100000 Lives

Children's Day was observed in most
of New York's churches with special
sermons, in which the ministers urged
the congregations to interest them
selves in the governments baby con-
servation plan, by which it is hoped
this year. New York's quota of baby
lives to be saved is 4,70O.
"An unfortunate byproduct of the
world war into which America has so
gloriously put her whole heart is the
neglect of the babies" said the Rev
D. H. Martin, of the Fort Washington
Presbyterian Church, at Broadway and
l74th Street, preaching on "The Chill
dren's Year" in his church yesterday
morning.
"A statistician has said it is six
times safer to be soldier in the
trenches in Europe than to be a baby
in the cradle in the United States"
DR.. Martin continued. Child mortal
ity is due much to under n punishment
of children because of the high cost of
food, and especially to the lack of care
on the part Of mothers who are obliged
to 90 INTO OUTSIDE occupations for sup
port. The absence Of many husbands
and fathers in military service neces-
sarily forces the mothers into work
which precludes personal care of their
children. The result Of this is a lower
birth rate and higher mortality in
the child statistics of America. There
were several thousand fewer marriages
this year than last, which also accounts
for the large decrease in the birthrate.
That the conservation of child life
ia matter Of paramount Importance
ia proved by these startling facts:
Since the war began the decline in the
birth rate In Great Britain has been
more than 100000; in Germany. the
fall in the birth rate Is reckoned at
$500, 900; in Austria Hungary, ,60o,-
900; while the birth rate in France has
decreased more than half In America,
in normal times 300 900 children under
the age Of five years die annually, but
with this special children's bureau in
operation it is thought at least 100, 900
Of these lives can be saved this year.
at In hoped every physician will
cooperate in this national conservation
Of child life, and that mothers, fathers
and people in general also will do their

Red Cross Officials
Object to Juvenile
Observation-Disclosures
Statement Points Out Dan
gers to Child Of Pressure
and Over-Stimulation

Strong expression of disapproval by
Dr. Henry n. MacCracken, director of
the Bureau of Junior Membership of
the American Red Cross, and George D.
Strayer, Of the Division of Education
Of the National War Savings Commit
tee, of the exploitation of school chill
lren for the purpose of collecting war
funds, and announcement OF the estab-
hshment Of Red Cross Bureau Of
Conservation were given cut yesterday
by the Atlantic Division of the Red
Cross.
Dr.. MacCracken and Mr. Strayer, in
their Jolnt statement, assert that 4 few
cases have been found where the SER
wees OF school children have been mis-
directed. Activities OF children, who
have engaged IN unauthorized street
speaking, selling, soliciting and collect
ing contributions outside of school
hours, have had their origin in the
laudable zeal of the children, or those
responsible for their welfare, but must
be discouraged, the statement SAYS
1t asserts further, that. although
education in patriotism and service is
one aim of the Junior Red Cross and
the school campaign Of the National
WI ar Savings Committee, the danger of
overst.muiatiOn and of the undue
pressure exerted by interschoo com
petitions is as great as the danger Of
slacknesS and Indifference.
where the children of the country
are concerned" the statement contin-
ues, these aims are far more impor-
tant than the material results of their
service in money or supplies. The
reversal of this policy would endanger
the future which these children hold
III their hands.
"Teachers sometimes create the con-
dition OF oYerstimu alton by saving
to the children, You must bring a
quarter or dollar Monday On the
ether hand, saving or earning in proper
ways for war savings stamps or the
Red Cross will inculcate the habit of
thrift and selfdenal in the minds of
our boys and girls.
"The children are the hone of the
world. This generation Will leave them
a heavy legacy of world problems. Our
wisdom and foresight to-day must fit
them to meet the future. Boys and
girls under the legal age of labor must
not be exposed TO the dangers of street
work"
The establishment of the Red Cross
Bureau Of Conservation, made at the
request of Bernard NJ. Baruch. chair
man of the War Industries Board is
for the purpose of educating the peo-
pie in the principles of systematic CON
servation.
1t is believed that this bureau can
enlist the active interest OF more than
20,000000 members of the Red Cross in
conserving materials essential to the
winning of the war, and thereby bring
this country to the highest degree Of
conservation efficiency.

Navy Disputes Hurley's Au-
thority Over Growing
Merchant Marine
Seamen's Law Proves
A Serious Handicap
Method Being Sought to Es-
tablish Commercial Service
on Permanent Basis
By Theodore Nj. Knappen

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-Chairman
Hurley of the United States Shipping
Board yesterday ammo 1nced the ap-
pointment of d committee to study
man power for the merchant marine
from every angle presented by war
conditions and the future trade re-
quirements of the country" To-day he
issued q statement in which he said
that the board being assured of the
success of It's huge shipbuilding pro-
gramme, would now concentrate its
power on the manning of the merchant
marine with allAmerican crews. In
the latter statement he briefly reviews
what the board is doing and purposes
to do to provide men for the new mer-
chant marine. Mr.. Hurley calls atten-
ton to the fact that as fast as the new
ships come from the yards half OF
them are turned over to the Navy
Overseas Transport Service to man for
direct naval and military transport
use, while the other half are assigned
to commercial voyages, whether
through the war zone or elsewhere.
and are manned by civilian crews. The
navy thus operates the ships required
for its own supplies as well as those
serving the army transport. In the
case of the ships assigned to the
army the Army Transport Service d.
rects their rou ings and uses, but the
navy operates them.
Thus there are being built up two
distinct and separate personnel organi-
cations for the merchant ships. On
the surface it would appear that the
naval organization, which is drawn
from the naval reserve, would not
outlast the period of the war. and that
M Hurley must look forward to the
eventual manning and operation of all
the ships either directly or through
private owners, depending OF, what dis
POSITION is ultimately made OF the
ships the government has built and
reeuisitionoi in the building. AS to
the latter, the policy seems TO be to
turn them lack to their owners soon
after competition, but the general prob
lon OF providing Crews and officers
end assuring permanent mercantile
rsrine persor mel Minis, in any
event, the = sponslbility of the Ship
ling Board.

and earnestly hope that all the gov

and earnestly hope that all the gov
ernment ships will be turned over to
them after the war. There is talk Of
organizing special navy bureau to
TOOK after this work and prepare for
the future. The Naval Reserve sailors
and officers who are now being used
IN this service are enlisted only for
the period of the war, so that it is
necessary for the navy, if it hopes to
continue in this field to begin to lay
its plans.
The navy does not contemplate the
commercial superintenden of ship
ping, but would have the nautical side
OF all gsvernment-owne vessels under
ITS supervision and control. The Ship
ping Board might charter or lease the
vessels to private operating companies
or go into the shipping business it
self, but in either event the navy's
idea is that the ships should be
manned with naval crews.
There is strong argument in ex
pediency for this course, as it would
avoid either of two troublesome
courses; one being constant strug
gle with the lneptitudes of the sea
mans law and with the union and the
other the undertaking of the laws re-
peal-either of which seems to be
hopeless course. 1t is recognized on
all sides that aside from the annoy
ances of operating under law, which,
among other nuisances, permits crew
to sign of at the end of every voy-
age, it will be impossible for the Am
erican merchant marine to cope with
competition in normal times unless
some way is found to evade, amend or
pensate for IT,
How much Mr.. Hurley appreciates the
gravity OF the problem is shown by
the fact that he has instructed his man
power committee to make a special
study of the operations Of the sea
mems law. This committee, by the way

College. recognized authority on
labor problems, at present connected
with the War Department. William c.
Ewing, of Boston, formerly connected
with the Boston Chamber of Commerce,
