HOG ISLAND RULERS
 DEFEND THEIR WORK
TRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON, March 14.-A gen. eral defense of the work at. the Hog Island shipyards by Walter Gooden- ough, general manager of the plant, and statement by Dudley R. Kennedy, head of the yards industrial relations department, that enough dynamite had been found at Hog Island last month to destroy half of the yard, featured to- days hearing of the senate ship in vestigating committee
 MT. Goodenough, whose $25,000 a year salary frequently has been under fire before the committee, told the senators he did not believe his salary was ex- cessive if his services were accepted as satisfactory. He also defended salaries of other employees. In that connection, Senator Nelson of Minnesota. asserted that two high priced officials at Hog Island formerly were in the junk busi- ness in Minneapolis at low pay
 MT. Kennedy defended the work done at Hog Island and it was in connection with the difficulties encountered in building the plant that he told of find ing the dynamite.
 Two hundred and forty five pounds of the explosive were found at different times last month, he said, and only re- gently twenty pounds were discovered in one place in the plant An inves- tigation is now being made by gov ernment agents, he added.
 Mir. Kennedy caused much surprise among committee members by the statement that the recent 20 per cent advance allowed by the wage adjust mcnt board 10 ship workers on the Delaware is retroactive to last No- vember IS and to last January IS for men engaged in building shipyards.

 Today. on cross examination. Burke admitted that he and Mrs. Nolan had mad two drinks of whiskey while at the roadhouse. At the Mulligan trial Burke testified that they drank nothing but soda water after leaving the Nolan home where Burke made a new years call at II o'clock at night. Mrs. Nolan , previously had testified that they drank two pints of champagne before leaving her home for the automobile ride.

The British authorities have discov- cred an ingenious way of checking up their national register which was sort of war census taken couple of years ago to secure a line on the nation s man power It has always been known that good many persons lodged that census, and since it was taken the dis tribution of the populations has been so changed by the necessities of war work, the erection of great new muni- tions towns which have resulted in mil grations of population. and from other causes connected with the war. that the national register today is of very little use.
 It is being brought up to date and perfected, however, by the sugar-ra- tioning system, which is now in pro- cess of being worked out. Every one in the country wants sugar and after the end of this year no one will be able to get it who is not the posscssor of q sugar card.

AMERICAS MORALS
 SAFER IN FRANCE
(Review of Reyiewsl

France is said to be by some inn moral Paris has its faults, but so have London and New York. This one thing is evident in the Paris of today, that such safeguards are now provided as no other city knows. Read Laurence Jerold or Charles Dawbarn.
 Those responsible for France and those responsible for our own boys now there are acting with efficiency. In fact, it is more difficult for a stranger to go wrong in Paris now than in Chi cago or St. Louis. The French family, the crowning glory of her many noble institutions, is opening it's doors to stu dents from abroad. The American Uni yersity union understands the problem and is working at it.
 Conditions more favorable to whole some living than Germany has ever known will soon be furnished to the satisfaction of the most conventional. It means much. especially to those who have been recently in Paris. that no less an organ than La Revue has re- enforced the efforts of M. Reinach in

 The sums mentioned were not di- vulged, but Fulton's manager said he was unable to consider the offer At the conference he informed Miller that he would guarantee Willard $100.000 to fight Fulton in New Orleans on July 1. Nothing definite concerning the latter proposal has 7transpirsdr
