Returning Jurist Enthuses
Over Americans March
to Chateau Thierry
Saw Piave Victory
Two u. S. Divisions Would
Have Given Italy Complete
Triumph, He Thinks

Judge Ben b. Lindsey, of Denver,
who sat on a mountain 1000 feet above
the Piave Valley and watched the Aus
trians retreat before the Italians few
weeks ago, arrived from England yes
terday on British steamship.
He had been away six months and
had skirted the greater part Of all
fronts. In that time, he said, he had
observed many impressive sights, but
the one that affected him most of all
was the march of the marines to their
positions before Chateau Thierry.
Il assure you it was inspiring" he
said. "to see those boys going out to
fight and to die, heaGs erect, shoulders
back, carefrce, snappy stride, and
determination written all over their
faces. One could not associate fear or
sclf-concern with such an organiza-
ton. The French saw it and the Brit
'sh saw it, just as l saw it, and it i'm
pressed them as i did me- 1t was like
fine wine to the French. 1t thrilled
them and gave them a confidence and
a determination that could have come
from no other source"
Saw Piave Victory
The judge said he had ,ectured in
England, France and Italy, ander the
auspices of the Bureau of Information.

Epidemic Of 1yphus
Reported in Berlin
Especial Dispatch to The Tribuno)

WASHINGTON, July 25. - Several
epidemics are reported from Germany
ard the health Of the army in the
interior is being undermined by dis
case, according to a diplomatic tele-
gram from Berne to-day. 1t says:
he German newspapers have shown
for some days great moderation in re-
gard to the health situation of Ger
many, but in the news coming to
Switzerland, it is declared several cpl
denies are at present raging in Ger
many
"The 'Neue Zuricher Zeitung of July
2i, announces that the German censor
has forbidden the publication of any
news concerning the spread of the in
fuenza epidemic. Nevertheless, it is
known that this epidemic has made
terrible ravages. A great number Of
deaths have occurred in Germany at
the charity hospitals.
The principal doctors Of the Bava-
rian army declare that the state Of
health of the troops has been under
mined in consequence of the effects of
influenza. The most serious cases were
among the troops in the interior and
not among those at the front. The
number of deaths is far from being
insignificant
"The Lokal-Anzeiger' hears from
Lssen that during the last few days,
IN consequence of an influenza epi-
demlc, the output from the mines in
the basin of the Ruhr has suffered
considerable decrease, but that it
ls still hoped to make up for the deficit
before autumn.
The appearance of an epidemic of
typhns is reported at Berlin. The au-
thoritles attribute it to the consump-
ton of milk. The 'Strassburger Post
announces that an epidemic of malaria
is reported in the grand duchy of
Baden. The germs are supposed to
have been brought back by soldiers
from the Balkans"

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Charles
NJ. Schwab, Director General of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, on his
return from tour of the Western
shipyards, day, called conference
for Monday of representatives of all
the big steel plants, to devise. means
for keeping the government supplied
with steel. so that the war programme
viii not be interrupted.
Schwab said the shipbuilding pro-
gramme now called for total of A.
100000 tons q year. I'VE are now get
ting steel at the rate of about $780,
600 tons annually" Mr.. Schwab said
"That amount would suffice if we had
been able to build up a reservoir in
each year--a sort of cushion, so to
speak-on which to fall back in emer-
gencies Until we have such an ac-
emulation in the yards the larger fig
ure of shipments will be essential.
There is nothing to do but to speed
up and get It"
Mr.. Schwab returned from the Pa
cihc Coast chiefly to take up the steel
situation. He declared himself delight
ed with his trip West.
THE whole country is thrilled with
q patriotic impulse"
Reduced submarine sinkings in June
We're declared by Mr. Schwab to be
one of the most hopeful developments
of the war. He pointed out that deliv-
cries in June from American shipyards
alone equalled rs per cent of the ton
mage sunk.
The big Hog Island yard, yet to
launch its first vessel, is about 95 per
cent complete, Mr.. Schwab said, and
would be finished at cost of approx
mately S55000, 900, the excess over es-
Inmates being caused by the rise in the
cost of labor and materials, which has
affected every big building project.

Workers Bound Together
in Common Purpose to
Win War, He Asserts
Returns From Pacific
Declares if Kaiser Knew All
u. S. Was Doing He Would
Concede Defeat

Never in the history of this country
has one body of industrial workers
been so bound together in a common
purpose as are our shipbulders for the
winning of the war. Almost as many
rivets are being driven into new ships
as bullets are flying into the Huns
from the ranks of the Allied armies.
When America wins her part Of the
coming victory she will owe it to her
shlpbuilders almost as much as to her
soldiers over there
DR.. Charles "A. Eaton, head of the ma
tonal service section of the United
States Shipping Board, so declared yes
terday on nis return from three
weeks tour with Charles NJ Schwab Of
the shipbuilding plants on the Pacific
Coast, Visiting the shipyards from
Portland to San Diego. Dr. Eaton said
he spoke TO 10000 workers, and from
every group heard expressions OF "un-
atlnted enthusiasm for the winning Of
the war"
III the Kaiser knew what prepara-
tons were going on in this country and
could realize the determination of the
workers | am sure he would throw up
his hands and concede that his cause
is as good as lost" said DR.. Eaton.
AT San Francisco we saw a big vessel
launched anu exactly six seconds after
ward saw the keel of another ship laid
down in the same spot from which the
other craft had slipped into the water.
Ships are being created on the Pacific
Coast as if by magic
Schwab the Moving Force
is Mr.. Schwab He is loved by all his
workers. They call him Charlie-this
man who himself employs 10000 men
and has monthly payroll Of $15,0O0-
C00."
DR.. Eaton said that while in San
Francisco Mr.. Schwab placed govern
ment contracts for $2OO,OOO,00O worth
Of ships.
AS means of arousing enthusiasm
among the men DR.. Eaton said card
is placed in each pay envelope These
cards contain sentiments such as
these:
Cone quarter of man in shipyard
is worth a whole man in the trenches.
How many quarters of man are you
worth 2"
Zone rivet is worth seven bullets.
How many bullets are you firing
daily? ?"
"Thc cathedrals which Germany has
destroyed were built by workmen with
religious passion. Why not build
American ships with the same spirit
of devotion and sacrifice?
DR.. Eaton said he thinks that the
workers in the shipyards are so imbued
with patriotism that strikes during
the war are practically impossible
Vast Work Maintained
Dr.. Eaton's section, which is main
tanned by the government, has 300
speakers, who visit 154 shipyards and
5000 plants that fabrcate materials
for ships, in addition to all the navy
yards and about 5000 plants that pro-
duce materials for the navy These
speakers reach from 100000 to
100000 workers at least once every
two weeks. Since last February the
national service section has expended
$l,5O0,0O0 in this kind Of work.
In the Western trip, besides Dr..
Eaton and Mr.. Schwab, were Charles
Piez, general manager of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, and C. w.
Cuthell, counsel for the corporation.

 CASES IN THE COURT

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. B. = The railroad commission has filed with he Supreme Court of California a petition for rehearing in the Lake Hemet Water company case. The peti ion was signed by Douglas Brook man. attorney for the Railroad Com mission, and Max Thelen, it's presi dent.
 The decision of the Supreme Court, which was written by Justice Hen shaw and concurred in by Justices Lucien Shaw, Melvin and Lorigan, holds that the Railroad commission has no jurisdiction over the water right contracts of irrigation com panies. and declares that the portions of the constitution and statutes of California declaring that the sale of water by private companies is a public utility, violates the Federal Constitution.
 The Railroad Commission states in it's petition that the decision, un- less reversed. will deprive the com mission of jurisdiction over most ir' rigation companies and will throw back into hopeless confusion the af- fairs of many water companies which the commission during the last five years has placed on a constructive basis

FL PASO, Tex, Feb. High heel ed cowboy boots, chaps and ten gallon" hats have replaced shoes of English. lasts, pinch back suits and golf capes as the wearing apparel of the majority of recruits who are accepted at the local army recruiting station for service in the American army
 The rush of the city boys and young men to join the colors is al most over, according to the officer in charge of the station. But the news that the United States needed her young men has just begun to oercolate to the isolated COW camps, ranches and mining districts of the Southwest The result was rush ,f applicants for enlittment from the sparsely settled districts of the en tire Southwest.
 When given their choice of branch es in which they may serve the men invariably ask for an assignment tc the cavalry division as they shoot from the saddle and never walk when hey can ride. But when they are told the cavalry will not be sent abroad as soon as the other branch es they almost change their requests and ask for an assignment in the engineers, artillery or even in the infantry, although the typical COW man never walks when he can ride
 Because of their life outdoors their regular habits and acquaintance with the simple fare of the chuck wagons, these men are quickly trans formed into good soldiers, the re cruiting officers say
