F Firemen and Police
To Get $3.50 Raise
Increase for First-Crade Men
Tentatively Agreed Upon
by Estimate Board

Policeman and fremen of the first
grade will receive $3.50 increase in
salary to become effective on Septem-
Ter !. The advance was tentatively
agreed upon yesterday at a conference
OF the members Of the Board of Esti-
mate, in the Mayors Office. The gen.
e1al policy of salary increases was dis
cussed, and it was announced that the
question of increases for other city
employees was still under consideration.
The salary advances in the Police
and Fire departments apply to mem
bers who have received no increases in
salary during the present calendar
year The salaries are advanced from
$1,000 to $3.50, and there are about
10000 men in both departments who

increase about S1,50O,OOO The money
TO pay the increased salaries from Sep

from accruals in the Police and Fire
Departments, and from other CITY de-
rartments if found necessary. An ap-
preparation will be made in the CITY
budget for 1919 to cover these salary
increases
The men of the rank and file in the
Police and Fire departments petitioned d
the Board of Estimate some time ago
for an increase in salary They con-
tended that it was badly needed be-
cause of the increased cost of living
under war conditions. The Board Of
Estimate was in favor of granting the
INCREASE for that reason. but found
difficulty in providing the necessary
funds from the city's resources. way

Besides cooking, the Salvation Army

reilgious services which are held twice
week among the soldiers.
One hears Of atrocities peri ormed
upon prisoners, but sees few evidences
of them, Rrigadier Sheppard says. She
herself saw none, though she was told
by American soldiers that they had
found a French prisoner hung by his
feet and slit open like hog in a place
where the Germans had been quartered.
She witnessed the capture of a
wounded German. who dragged himself
to the lines and begged to be taken in.
After the American boys had been
treated he received care, and begged,
with shower of tears, to have the
Americans get his wife and children
from the Fatherland, to which he never
wished to return
There is great opportunity, the
brigadier says, for personal work on
the front. She cites one case Of a
soldier who had not heard from home
for six months and in the meantime
read in an old newspaper of his sis
ter's death. Here is a case where the
worker must cheer the boy and arouse
the parent at home.

says. ''In spite of mail delays every

His wife and his brother, E. H. James
United States Marsha, for the Western
District of Kentucky, were at his bed
side. Death was due to an acute affec-
ton Of the kidneys.
At first it was thought that Senator
James's chance for recovery was excel

condition became less promising and
blood TRANSMISSION became necessary
Senator James steadily became weaker
The news that he had been renominated d
tor the Senate caused brief improve
ment recently, but for three weeks his
condition had been critical, although he

OF William Jennings Bryan as candi-

Senator James ought to have the nomi-
nation.
For many years Senator James had
been an admirer Of Mr. Bryan. and he
believed in the former Secretary of
States peace policy He was firm
supporter Of the Administration, how
ever, and almost up 10 the time that
war was declared appeared to be Of the
opinion that President Wilson would
avert the danger.
When war came it found Senator
James still an ardent supporter of the
President and a stout advocate of
Americanism. One of his most impor-
tant speeches, made short time before
ne became i'll, was in defence of the
Presidents war programme
ln 1872 he was elected to the House
OF Representatives., and was reelected
successfully for ten years. He was
chairman of the Kentucky delegations

counsel in the election contest in Ken

All Shop Work

A survey of all training courses for
women war workers has just been COM
pleted by the Clearing House for War
time Training for Women, 19 West

courses are offered for various branches
of war service. Information concern
ing fees, time and place of the course
has been collected by the Clearing
House and compiled into a handbook
Additional information about the
courses may be rad at the office OF
Miss Emma P. Hirth, the executive
secretary Of the Clearing House.
The creed by which the Clearing
House operates includes two important
articles-equal opportunities in train
ine for women and single wage scale
Hanhazard ard unrelated as the
emergency training courses for women
all over the city have been, they can
easily be expanded and coordlnated to
meet the call for women workers In all
branches. 1T is thought, and 1t is the
aim of the Clearing House to encour-
age the opening of new courses to
women whenever Vie o4e
uation leads into new fields
1t has been found, for example, that
very little training exists outside the
factory for women who enter industry
They learn as they go in "vestibule
schools" Such training is considered
Inadequate by Miss Hirth, who would
have an industrial woman know the
fundamentals OF ail shop work and the
relation of her own to the whole work
In this way women will not be. shunted
into blind alley" occupations, accord
ing to Miss Hirtn. but will have an
understanding of their industry that
will enable them TO move up in thell
field.
I'm no other way" said Miss Hirth
Yesterday, "can We expect to hnc
women ready for the call when il
comes. Shall we continue to ignore
the need for national programme fol
the training of women and to leave
the formulation OF plans for thell
specific education to scores OF unau
thorized agencies ?"
