$500 Englishmen and 500 Americans.
On the day that the armistice was
signed there was a tremendous cele-
bration and $50 planes were in the air
at one time, all doing circus stunts.
We Americans started parade Of our

which went to London and cleaned
up the army champions by a score of

also and after n while got the British

no small triumph.
Some of the officers had seen air
fighting in France. Lieut.. George
Barrett Dunn OF Oakland, Cal, was
one of these, and he told a story which
explains why the hatred for Germans
Is so deep and thorough in the hearts
of men who know what the German
mind Is capable of.
Germans Robbed Dead.
Last year" said Dunn, II was in
bombing operations on the French
front with a bully chap. an American.
He went up over Chateau Thierry one
day and the Boches' got him. The
French reported that he had fallen
behind the German lines. When our
men smashed through the German line
we found that boys body beside his
wrecked machine. They had stripped
him, taking everything he had, even
few almost sacred little personal be-
longings. They stripped him and left
him lying like dog I took photo

creatures are capable of, to prove the
way they treated an American officer

Early in the afternoon the passer-
gers of the Orca were transferred to
the ferryboat General Weston and
we're taken TO Long Island City where
they were entrained for Camp Mills.
1t Is expected that the United States

The Comfort will bring 400 wounded

Whitney and Craig in High
Tension Over New Subway
Contract Settlement.
DAMAGE DENIED BY P. S. c.
Trouble Grows Out Of Delay
in Building Eastern Park
way Tubes.

Tension between the Public Service
Commission as Represented by Com
missioner Travis II. Whitney on the
one hand and tho city administration
as represented by Comptroller Charles
l.. Craig on the other appeared last
night to have almost reached the
breaking point.
The high point was reached yester-
day afternoon when the commission
had under consideration a contract
of the Intercontinental Construction
Corporation Of Brooklyn, which has
under construction an important link
Of tho Eastern Parkway subway. Inc
commission for some weeks has been
considering tho cancellation or the
contract owing TO the alleged failure
of the construction company to COM
plete the work according to the terms
of the contract.
At the same time claims for dam
ages have been filed with Comptroller
Craig by the company. These are
computed on increased cost OF mate
rial and labor alleged to result from
failure on the part of the commission
to furnish plans and specifications on
time. They aggregate approximately
81, 900, 900, and may be settled by the
Comptroller practically out Of hand.
Comptroller Craig's appearance be-
fore the Public Service Commission on
October 80 in opposition to the pro-
posed action of the commission In de-
claring the contract forfeit caused
Commissioner Whitney to characterize
the action as an unprecedented pro-
ceeding."

Mrs. Louise G. Warner persistently
denied any wronsioing with Harry G.
TIolhrook, named by Charles r. War
ner as correspondent in his divorce suit,
when she took the stand yesterday In
the Nassau County Supreme Court nj
Mineola. She answered all questions
put to her by her husbands attorney
with marked curtness, and the most
skilful attempts at Icross,examination
did not lead her into long voluntary
statements OF the many incidents dis
cussed.
Once or twice she showed embar-
rassment, notably when ISL telephone
slips for calls during the mouth OF
August between her apartment and
Holbrook's place Of business and club
were introduced in evidence. She had
previously denied that she had called
him up very often"
Liquor supply stored.
It developed that during the four
months her husband was in a sani-
tarium In Connecticut, she had pur-
chased ss16.S4 worth OF liquor which
had found its way into the cellar of

writing her husband she said, accord

Regarding the raid at the Goshen
Inn. Mrs Warner said she had no idea
how Holbrook had entered her name
on the hotel register as she had not
looked at the entry. The arrival of
the raiding party was an entire sur =
prise 70 her. she testified. She said
she had just stepped into the bath
room from Mrs. Frickling's room
when she heard the crash. She
screamed and called out. MY God,

and the raiders came in.

so, whereupon her father-in Ia W

Heating Admits stipulation.

Yesterday at an adjourned hearing
on the matter Frederick l.. G. Heating,
counsel for the Intercontinental Con-
struction Corporation, admitted that a
stipulation was about to be entered
into between the Comptroller and the
construction company, whereby the
latters claim for damages was to be
settled for an amount estimated at
$500, 600, with an initial payment OF
$4,000 next month.
Commissioner Whitney said last
night:
II consider tho situation thus re-
vealcd as most astonishing. The
Comptroller has failed to say a single
word to the commission with respect
TO any such stipulation, and he is pro-
posing to settle claims for something
around million dollars for a very
substantial sum OF money, when as a
matter OF fact ne has in his hands a
report from the commission, based on
the reports of commission engineers
pointing out that, as the claims based
on the past. the contractor Is entitled
10 very little. The contractor claims
that his damages arise from the delay
of the commission in furnishing plans
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-12-06
Damage. n Any. Nominal.

The contention OF the commission
Is that, even though various plans
were furnished to the contractor later
than times fixed In the contract. which
il not admitted. the contractor was not
damaged thereby because he had not
prosecuted his own work to the point
where the absence Of plans was any
damage to him. / am aware that, #
the claims are settled for a substantial
sum, aaerc are unreasonable critics OF
tie commission who would say that
such sum of money represents the cost
81 delay by the commission. Yet the
report of the commission shows only
nominal damages at most"
The Public Service Commission last
night sent n letter 10 Comptroller
Craig protesting against any such set
Element of the Intcrcontinental Con-
struction Corpora TONS claim.
One of the provisions of the pro-
posed stipulation Is understood to
have been that the money received
by the construction company Is to he

by Secretary James +. Walker, 1t Is
declared that no such provision ap-
pears enforceable either by the Comp
troller or the commission.
