Burieson Assailed for
Mail Subway Proposal
New York Tribune
WrsJ,fn0fOn Bureau

New York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec 14.-Postmas-
ter General Burlcson was the target
for scathing criticism during consider
alton of the postoffice appropriation
bill to-day in connection with his pro-
posal to construct subway between
the Grand Central and Pennsylvania
stations in New York City to carry the
mails. Representative Peter F.. Tague,
of Massachusetts. and Representative
Jerome +. Donovan, Of New York City,
joined in the attack on the Postmaster
General
1T was pointed out that while Mr..
Burleson had "ruthlessiy wiped out"
the underground pneumatic mail tube
system in New York and other cities,
he was now coming forward with a
proposal to expend money for another
underground mail carrying system.
Congressman Tague recalled that dur
ing the fight to retain the pneumatic
tubes the Postoffice Department insist
ed that motor vehicles were entirely
adequate to take the place of the
tubes. In the recent annual report of
the Postoffice Department, Mr.. Tague
pointed out, there is a reversal on this
point, and the department frankly ad-
mits that street congestion makes de-
sirable the carrying Of the mails I'M
derground
The mail subway proposal now id
vanced by the Postoffice Department
was assailed as being impracticable,
and it is predicted the cost of such a
construction would run into several
million dollars. The proposed mail
subway, it was pointed out, will have
to run under at least three of the city
subways, which would require exca-
walton at depth below 100 feet, and
in many places through solid rock.
The advisablity of constructing an
underground mail carrying system at
q great cost for handling second and
third class mail was seriously ques-
toned. 1t was pointed out that the
first class mail, which is carried at q
profit, merited speedy transportation
and that the classes of mail which
showed an annual loss of $60,000,000
had no claim for such rapid move
ment
Sentiment among members of the
House from all the larger cities still
favors the resumption of the pneumatic
mail tubes for first class mail. 1t is
probable that with the Republican Or
ganization in the House in the next
Congress measures will be introduced
to operate the tubes as government

Leriathan Coming
With $500 Troops
And Wounded To-day

The United States transport Levlathan,
formerly the Hamburg American liner
Vaterland. with about $500 soldiers and
sailors on board is expected to come into
Quarantine this morning at $3.50 o'clock
and dock at Pier in Hoboken about an
hour later. Her docking depends upon
the lifting of a thick fog which hung
tenaciously over the harbor yesterday
and which gave no indication of clear
ing late last night.
An army officer of the port of en-
barkation in charge of the vessels
docking said last night that she might
not be able to reach her pier before
10 a. M, as the fog that hung over the
harbor was reported as extending over
the coast as far as Nantucket Light
ship.
With such weather conditions pre-
vailing it is assumed that the Leviathan
would be forced to reduce her speed
from twentyfour to ten OF twelve
knots, q reduction that would put her
some two or three hours behind her
schedule
More public interest has centred
upon the Leviathan than upon any
other transport that has come into this
port since the American troops started
homcWard. Even in war time. because
of her size, the big liner has been an
unusual attraction whenever she ar
rived or departed from this harbor
She is the biggest passenger vessels
afioat, and on her trip which will end
to-day she carries the largest passen-
ger complement of soldiers and civil
Jams that has been brought to New
York since the United States entered
the war.
According to advices received in Ho-
boken yesterday, the Leviathan has on
board 7,249 soldiers and sailors and
about 800 civilians, chiefly war workers
returning from England and France
She took on part of her travellers at
Liverpool and the remainder at Brest
where she steamed for coal.
The big vessel has 1T officers and
4.747 men of the navy, SO officers and
2,213 men of the army, Is women
rurses and officers and 108 men of
the American mercantile marine. Among
the men of the army there are a Off
GERS and 1,421 privates who are either
wounded or are recovering from non
contagious diseases contracted abroad

Fog Prevents
Veterans From
Reaching City
Transports Unable to Land,
Due to Weather, and Re-
ception Committee Dozes
Leviathan Is Due To-day
Fighters From France Will
Reach Manhattan When
Seas Permit Safe Entry

Hundreds of American soldiers,
tingling with anxiousness for the first
glimpse of Manhattan's towering sky
line. were held all day yesterday in
clouds of fog down the pay within a
few hours of the picture they longed
to see in reality for months as they
fought on the fields OF France
Further out to sea, speeding so that
her human cargo of about $500 fight
ing men might have the same vision
realized all the sooner, was the giant
Leviathan, bringing the greatest SOL
der passenger list of the war. She
will dock some time to-day probably
this morning, at Pier, a, Hoboken.
New York yesterday was without the
thrill which has come almost daily for
the last two weeks. Not transport
went up the river. The city's whistle
chorus, which has been trained to well
come homecoming soldiers, was divert
ed to the task of warning harbor craft
caught in the fogbanks which settled
over the city and its waters early in
the morning.
Fog Proves Real Barrier
There were many narrowly averted
collisions. The Hamilton Avenue ferry
boat Montauk and a United States navy
lighter crashed in Buttermilk Channel
off Governors Island. The passengers
were shaken up, but none was injured
Ferryboats between Staten Island and
South Ferry and New Jersey and Man
haitian were far off schedule.
Three or four transports were due to
dock yesterday, but if they reached port
they were lost in the fog down the bay
and did not dare to venture further
The Dorcha, SAINT Anna and the Sia-
mese Prince, all crowded with troops
and civilian war workers, we're be-
lieved to be lying at anchor just out
side the harbor, where IL was safe. The
reach Sandy Hook until 5 o'clock this
morning.
The United States customs cutter
Immigrant started down the bay yes.
%erday to see what was out in the bay
She got off Governors Island and then
turned about and returned to her slip
at the Barge Office. The British trans.
port Empress of Britain, which brought
back a thousand or more troops Tues
day, was scheduled to sail yesterday
with returning British soldiers anc
officers, but her departure was post
poned because of the heavy weather.
Tug Hits Navy Lighter
The haze was probably at its wors
when the ferryboat Montauk and the
navy lighter crashed. The lighter
which was being towed by the tug
Charles Runyon, struck the port side O.
the ferryboat, causing the Montauk t.
careen so badly that passengers were
spilled out of their seats to the decks
while horses on board became so ex
cited they threatened to stampede.

Red Cross Registration
Will Be Voluntary
Instructions Are Sent Out to
Thousands of Chapters From
Headquarters

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Instruc-
tons were sent tonight from Amer
lean Red Gross Headquarters here to
thousands Of chapter workers through
out the country that registration for
the membership campaign beginning
Monday must be purely voluntary
Not one of the millions of men and
women who are expected to enroll or
renew membership. viii be urged to
do so.
Compliance with these instructions,
the organization announced, will mean
that no persuasion has been necessary
to swell the Red Cross membership in
the campaign to continue through the
week.
One of the principal reasons for
placing the registration on voluntary
basis is that each person is expected
to sign the roll but once and pay 81,
which is all that is asked.

BREADS.


Bran bread Is healthful, cheap and
Very easily made. That raised
with yeast is best. 1t should be
baked slowly and is more wholesome
n allowed to stand twelve hours be-
fore serving.
To have red cheeks, good teeth,
red blood and a good digestion, eat
bran or whole wheat bread. You
will also have the satisfaction of
knowing you are getting all the food
value out of the wheat.
Use one quart flower one quart
bran. one even tablespoon salt. Mix
these together. Make a well" in
the center and turn into it two and
one-half cups Of tepid water to which
has been added two tablespoons mo-
iasses and one tablespoon melted

Gen minutes. Cover bowl with a
heavy cloth aSd let rise over night.
In the morning shape into loaVes,
nut into creased pans and allow to
double its size. Bake in very mod
crate oven for one and one-half

RIGID RULES OF PoLITENEss
Continental Countries Carry Forms Of
saIutation and Courtesy to What
We Consider Extremes.

In all continental countries men lift
their hats when saluting one another.
1t is also customary for them to nm
cover their heads on entering any kind
of private premises, including Offices.
and in some parts even banks.
1t was, until recently, considered ex-
tremely rude for a man in Poland to
enter even a shop without removing
his hat, and it was not unusual for q
customer who omitted this formality
to be told that he would be attended
to when compliance with the demands
of politeness should entitle him to the
shopkeeper's consideration. It was
only few years before the war that
this practice came gradually to be
abandoned. The reform was largely
due to the action of the more import
ant tradespeople In the principal
towns, who exhibited notices In their
shops saying, Gentlemen are request
ed not to remove their hats"
In Poland and Russia visitors are
expected to leave in the hall not only
their goloshes. but hat, coat, and stick
as well, no matter how short their stay.
Clients calling on professional men are
expected to do the same.
