SUNDAY WORK
 ON THE FARMS

Washington, D. C., July 2.-Tt is quite right and proper to do farm work on Sunday if that Sunday work is nec- essary to produce food crops, to help whip Germany. That is the attitude of the rural churches of Indiana, ex- pressed recently in conference at Pur- due University. The reason given for this position was the conviction of In- diana rural ministers that Germany is the worst enemy of civilization, and of every church of civilization-of all religion everywhere, that is worthy of the name of religion; that the victory of the barbarous Huns would be lit orally victory of the devil and the triumph of that pagan monstrosity created by the Kaisers savage and sacreligious mind and called by him "the good old German gott;' in short, that every church in America is fight ing for it's existence, just as every oth- CT component Of civilization is fighting for its existence, and that if Sunday l work in saving crops will help over- throw this bestial menace it becomes vertically churchly work to do.

TRANSFORM BIG FOREST
 INTO MILITARY CAMP
One of the Achievements American Engineers Are to Be Commended For-Huge Task Accomplished
 in Four Months Time

reservation, as we'll as for training men in the construction, operation and maintenance of battle-line rail- roads. A 60-centimeter, narrow gauge road twelve miles in length, similar to the French roads, covers the camp, and all day trains of fiat cars and gondolas run back and forth with construction material and SUD- plies. The locomotives are built es- pecially for foreign service, and the power is furnished by four-cylinder, ffty-horsepower, gasoline motors. So well trained are the Humphreys en- gineers that the construction gangs can lay track at the rate of half a mile a day.
 These railways will be taken to France with the railroad engineers and 1t will not be long before they will be running from the rear lines to the front loaded with shot and shell and guns for American infantry and artillery. As rapidly as the battle line changes, the combat railway can be moved to conform with it.
 All phases of engineering are taught at the camp. When the recruit ar- rives, he is put through the three principal schools-the sapper, gas defense and pontoon schools, in order that he may get the rudiments of the engineers work. If he is found to possess special qualifications or tech | nical ability he is sent through one | or. more of the following supplement tary courses: Highway and trench construction, railroad construction md ro1-ly estry,- animal transportation. camou- fiage, surveying map production, cleo 1 tric wiring reclamation. gas and flame, gas offense, mining, quarrying. | bridge building, trestle work and ott- CTS.
 On the correspondents inspection l trip, three regiments of half-strength
 were marched in review-approxi- mately 1000 soldiers filing past the commandant, his staff and his guests, with healthy stride and military bear 1 ing, marching to lively music of the | camp band. In the outfit was one
 regiment whose drilling was especially
 attractive With snap and precision, 1 the men of this regiment marched
 across the parade ground, heads high,
 eyes front men who eight days be-
 fore were engaged in civil pursuits.
 They were the latest arrivals, and
 eight days after they had answered
 the nations call for men, these young
 Americans were, to the civilian eye, q | trained outfit of American engineers, apparently ready to face the foe, to do or die for the freedom of ths
 world. Negro troops of the service battalion also commanded attention of the spectators.
 When a man has been graduated from Camp Humphreys and is sent
 abroad he is an engineer in the strictest sense of the word. He is
 more than an ordinary soldier-he is an expert in his line, the best en-
 gineer his officers can make him, and his officers are the pick of the En-
 gineer Department-West Pointers and civilian engineers who have join
 ed up'' so the country may have the
 benefit of their knowledge and prac- tical experience.

STRICT RULES
 GOVERN USE OF
 CARS IN IRELAND

Dublin, July 2.-Gasoline is the most strictly rationed article in Ire land today. The use of automobiles with the most rigid restrictions, and elderly women are prosecuted if they go shopping in motor cars.
 Under these strict regulations re- garding the use of gasoline, one of the perpetual mysteries is how the Sim Feiners are able to get apparently as much as they like without leave or li- cense from the Petrol Commissioners. In a recent raid for arms on a castle at >Baronscourt, the Sim Feiners ar rived in twenty motor cars, all abun- dantly supplied with gasoline. The rural police are constantly reporting the confiscation of gasoline from cars which are being operated without proper permits.
 According to insiders in Dublin, this is explained by the fact that conskd- erable quantities of gasoline have been washed ashore along the Irish coast from torpedoed ships, usually ir cans, barrels or large drums Legally all such finds are the property of the State, but the State seldom gets 1t fo1 Athe rewards paid to honest fishermen
 who turn over such treasure to the government are insignificant, while
 the fisherman who picks up a drum
 or two of petrol out of the Atlantic
 perhaps at some personal risk, cal always dispose of his find surrepti 'tiously at large price.

AIR RAID ALARM DRIVES CITY FOLK
 INTO CELLARS

New York, July 2-Shrill siren blasts heard all over the eastern and lower sections of the Bronx at noon yesterday greatly excited the neigh borhood and the police stations were overwhelmed with telephone calls.
 Some people who remembered that cirens were to sound warnings of an air raid on New York started for their cellars. When the blast drag ged out for fifteen minutes and was shortly followed by another of sim liar length factory workers quit their machines and the scare was wide spread Police reserves were called out at the Simpson street Station.
 The siren was on the roof of the building of the American Bank Note Co. at Hunts Point and was being tested for use in case of an air raid alarm. A. c. Cary, vice president of the company explained that the test was made at the request or the government and he said policeman and an army sergeant were present: The siren is a powerful one erected under government supervision.

Washington, July 2-Transforma- tion of forest into great military camp in four months is one of the achievements of which the American Corps of Engineers boasts.
 Early in February, Camp Allen A. Humphreys, at Betvoir, Va, was vir- tually unknown. But American en- gineers were put on the job and to- day it is thriving, pulsating camp, a great city in itself, housing some 17,OO0 men and growing day by day until by August it will accommodate 3O,000.
 Camp Humphreys, named for the first Chief of Engineers of the United States Army, is some twenty miles south of Washington, just below the town of Acotink, Va. Its confines cover the historic Lord Fairfax tract; to one side is Mount Vernan, home of George Washington, and in the other direction is Gunston Hall, plantation and typical old Southern home of George Mason, illustrious Virginian, author of the Bill of Rights, the fla nous document which Thomas Jer- ferson made the cornerstone of the American Declaration of Indepen- dence. Camp Humphreys is pecu- liarly adapted for an engineer train ing school. In the hills and valleys Americas citizen-soldiers are tunnel ing, mining, quarrying excaVating, | fitting themselves for work on foreign l battlefields.
 The camp is the only engineer re- placement camp in the country, and it is here the vast supply of engineers | is to be kept, upon which General 1 Pershing will call for men to expand and replace engineer units working with the American overseas army | Already replacement units have been sent across. Early in June, 2,500 men trained in all branches of en- | gineering work were sent to Persh-
 ing The camp can train, equip and dispatch men to France at the rate of 5000 month, and by the 1 first of the year the capacity will be raised to 5000 month.
 Washington newspaper correspon-
 dents recently were guests of the Corps of Engineers on an inspection trip to the camp ana us vicinity
 Every detail of the work was explain
 ed to them by headquarters officers o1
 the staff of Lieutenant Colonel Rich l ard Park, U. s. A, an engineer ot
 engineers, who has been placed ir
 charge of the greatest replacement
 camp.
 Seventeen thousand men are at the
 camp at present most of them draft
 ed men, and new ones are arrivinE from civil life every day. There is {
 continual ebb and flow of troops, mer
 being sent across the Atlantic as fas
 as they can be accommodated 1T France, and new ones arriving to takt their places at the schools. Even af ter the war 1t is the governments in tention to make Camp Humphreys { permanent training camp for engin eers, and all work is being done witt that scheme in mind.
 One of the most interesting feature of Camp Humphreys is the light rail way which has been constructed fo the carrying of supplies through tn

CROWDER ORDER
 IS NOT FOR MEN
 PAST DRAFT AGE
Says Communities Have Confused It With States
 Anti-Loafing Laws.

Washington, July 2-Commenting on the New York work or fight regu- lations, which went into effect yester- day, Provost Marshal General Crow der emphasized today. that the or der does not affect men outside draft ages. Several communities appar- ently have confused it with anti-loaf- ing laws in some states.
 Gen. Crowder explained that the work or fight order is purely milf tary step, and that regulations re- garding employment or military ser- vice for unregistered men are not em- braced in his functions. The only effect the order has on persons not subject to draft is that it offers them more opportunities of employment Places vacated by men liable to draft necessarily are left open for men out side the draft he explained. Of the service performed by men who leave essential pursuits to take up es- sentiaI work, Gen. Crowder said:
 ''The army and navy are taking the men who are best able physically to do the fighting.
 But that Is only one part of the national task imposed by the. war. The other part, the part that falls on the other men, is to set free these men who are to do the fighting. Every man who helps to set free a fighting man is helping to fight and win the war.
 ''How many of the men of draft age ip deferred classes 2, and 4, defer red, that is on grounds of dependency are not engaged in effective indus | tries
 "The spectacle is not a satisfying one of a contingent of drafted men from Class 1 being marched down the street to camp while other men of their own age, watching them from | thew indows, remain behind to sell cigarettes or dispense soda fountain drinks, solely because they have re- received deferment on grounds of de- pendency.
 If these men of the same age are to stay behind let them at least get into work more effective to help the war. Their deferment takes them ou of military service and yet serves nc economic war purpose whatsoever They are of military age and there fore have the primary duty to do wal work. If their dependency gives them deferment from immediate mil itary war work, let them at least dt something economically useful tc maintain the nations welfare while at war. They should get into somt useful and effective occupation or els forfeit their deferment from militar, service. The alternative is fair one.

GERMAN TROOPS CAPTURE TRENCH
 FROM BRITISH
Strong Attack Carried Out By Enemy Under. Heavy
 Bombardment Fails.

London, July 2-German troops last night, after a strong bonibardment, attacked to the northwest of Albert, north of the Somme in an attempt to regain the positions lost to the British on Sunday night. The enc my succeeded in gaining a footing in one of the British trenches, the war office announces, but elsewhere were repulsed with loss.
 The statement reads:
 "An attack carried out by the ene- my last night under a heavy bom- bardment northwest of Albert, to re- capture the ground taken by us on Sunday night, was repulsed with loss except at one point, where the enemy succeeded in gaining a foothold in one of our trenches.
 "The enemy attempted raids in the neighborhood of Aveluy wood, Avion and Hinges. The attempts were re- pulsed.
 "A few prisoners were captured in patrol encounters"

The following statement was is sued
 "The navy department is informed that the Belgian steamer Chilier was sunk by shell fire from a German sub marine about 1,400 miles at sea from the Atlantic coast on June 21. Twenty i've survivors were rescued on June 27 by a sailing vessel. First informa- tion was received last night. The Chilier was a ship of 2,966 gross tons"
 The Cilier was sent down in mid ocean three days after the British transport Dwinsk was torpedoed 700 miles from the American coast. It is thought probable here that both yes sells were victims of a German sub marine or submarines returning tC base after raiding off the United States coast.
 No evidence of submarine activi- ties near the shores of America has been neported since the steamer Hen rik Eund was sunk 120 miles east O. Cape Hatteras on June 10
 Advices to the navy about th' Chilier were brief and did not Sd! how many if any of the ships com pany were missing.

In May, last of the five months, thS roads were beginning to recover from the paralyzing effects of blizzard and embargoes. and the operating income rose to a point nearer last years fg- ures. For the five months the total was $186,987,144, compared with $295,183,970 during that period last year, and for May it was $54,276,80F against $76,290,630 last May.
 In spite of the reduced operating income revenue of the roads actually was larger for the five months this year than last They were s1,S2O,- 62S,924, compared with $1,724,970.- 47S, giving a margin that was eaten up by increased expenses.
 For May operating revenues were .$313,790,1S1, as against $2S4,7S2,550 in 1917. Operating expenses for May, 1918, were $236,688.368, against $196,793,140 for May, 1917. The net

SEND PRISONERS
 TO COUNTY JAIL AWAITING ORDERS
slackers Rounded Up in Big Raid Saturday Night May
 Be Sent to Camps.

The sixty slackers held at police headquarters for the federal authori- ties since the raid last Saturday night were today transferred to the North avenue jail where they will be housed until the authorities decide whether they will be shipped to a training camp by special car or split up and sent to different camps.
 For the last few days relatives of the men have assembled in large crowds at police headquarters seeking to get into communication with the prisoners, but acting upon instruc- tions from Department of Justice Agent Charles H. Lane, the police officials refused to allow any one to get in touch with the men detained.
 At noon hour today the work of transferring the prisoners started and the big patrol wagons of the police were kept busy making trips between the jail and headquarters until after two o'clock.
 Officials at headquarters are very glad the men have been moved to the North avenue jail as their friends and relatives have been so anxious to see them that they have pestered every man in uniform to death.
 Federal authorities are very reti- cetn as to the ultimate disposition o1 the men held for them, but the pre- vailing opinion is that they will be al once inducted into the service and sent by special train to one of the large training camps and it is sait that orders to start the movement O. the prisoners will arrive in Bridge port within a few days.
 Among the men detained it is saic are several important catches, but a
 the authorities are not altogethe
 sure the men detained are the rint leaders in a certain movement to de
 feat the drafting of men, they are be ing thoroughly investigated with
 view to finding out their connection ; both in this city and elsewhere.
