West Eighty-third Street. lifelong
member of Tammany Hall and affili-
ated with Jimmy Hagan's club in the
new 7th Assembly District, as medical

Superintendent Kramer took the
place of William B. Buck, who was

tration by Charities Commissioner

administration on charges which were
declared to have been unwarranted by
the Citizens Union.
The War Department is now negoti-
ating with the city for the taking over
Of Sea View Hospital as base hos
pital. In that case the city patients
and the hospital staff would be trans
ferred to plant to be built at Otis
vile by the government.
Commissioner Coler said yesterday
that there was no politics in DR.. Kra-
mer's appointment. He declared he
had made him temporary appointee
without q civil service examination be-
cause of his unusual fitness for the
position. DR.. Kramer was connected
with the Health Department for twenty.
one years.

riss and Ryan, I wish to thank for the
high type of civic pride that they are
manifesting by giving SO literally of
their time and money to the depart
ment that means SO much, not only
to the city, but the country as we'll.
Praises Police Women
"The police reserves, under Com
missioner Wanamaker, have improved
to such an extent that if it were not
for the uniform one could hardly tell
them apart from the officers and men
of the regular force. Also, l wish to
say that the police women made a
great impression upon me. and l want
to congratulate them and their chief
for the remarkable showing they made.
The four hundred and odd police wom-
en- who were in the parade will have
much to look back to in the future
in connection with this movement, be-
cause to them will go the credit of
being pioneers in this work.
"The Police Department has i'm
proved since Commissioner Enright as
sumed command, and it will continue
to improve, am sure, so long as he re-
mains the head of the department.
"Ghe Police Departments aid in
facilitating the work of the Federal

Norwegian Liner
Carefully Searched
For Spy Messages
Delayed for Hours While
Rigid Examination
Goes On

AN ATLANTIC PORT, May H.
After rigid examination of every one
cf its 100 passengers and search
of their baggage by "a large squad OF
customs and army and navy intelli-
gence men, Norwegian American
liner left here for Scandinavian port
late to-day.
Every letter and paper on which spy
messages and military information
might be smugglcd through to Ger
many was confscatcd. Four passen-
gers were taken before a special board
of inquiry, but were finally allowed to
sail when the liner left hours late.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
at the dock to prevent, as far as pos
sible, the enemy traffic which is known
to have been carried on through neu-
trail countries contiguous to the Cen
trail Empires. All approaches to the
vessel were patrolled by The United
States Naval Guard Forty secret SER
vice operatives. of various bureaus, CO.
operated in delving into every piece of
hand baggage and all trunks.
Passports of each passenger had to
carry the wise of the Collector Of the
Port and the French, British and Nor
wegian consuls. An irregularity in
passports resulted in the temporary de-
tention of the four passengers, it was
reported.
The liner carried the greatest num-
ber of passengers that has sailed on a
ship from this port in months. Among
them were P. J. Berg, American Con-
sui General at Stockholm, returning
to his post after three months leave,
and Mrs. Berg; Marion Letcher, Amer
ican Consul General at Christiania;
Mehdi Khan, Persian Minister, and
DR.. Fridtiuf Nansen, Royal Norwegian
Commissioner.
DIR. Nansen, the famous explorer, is
returning home on the successful COM
pletion of a mission to reach an agree
ment with the United States for sup
plies Of wheat and other foodstuffs for
Norway. He declared that, before the
agreement was reached, Norway was
on the verge of being forced to accept
food from Germany, and putting her
self under obligations toward Pots
dam. Norwegian sentiment, he said,
would now find no bar toward it's pro-
Ally leanings.
Much intcres, was aroused Ky the
fact that Lieutenant General Vladi-
mir H. Roop and Captain Comlly
Schutt, Russian diplomats under the
regime of the Gar, were sailing for
Petrograd. They have beer in Wash
ington, and are said to be strongly
pro-Ally.
Important papers bearing on the re-
lationship between Denmark ard the
United States were said to be in the
possession of Count Frederick Moltke,
attache of the Danish Legation in
Washington, who is returning to Den
mark.

Enright Lauded in Verse at
Dinner of 700 Traffic COPS

More than 700 traffic policemen had
their annual dinner last night at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. If anything
was needed to show what crackerjacks
they are as traffic policemen, the fol
lowing verses, written by one of them
and sung by them all to the tune OF
"Over there" probably is it:
Richard E.-Richard E.
He is now in the place he should be-
On boat he's jolly. On land--oh, gollyl
He's fair in his authority
On the force Why. of course,
Every man is for him good and strong.
For Dick Enright, he is "in right"
And it's one sure bet that he'll never be
wrong.
After the dinner Special Deputy Com
missioner John A. Harriss took the men
to special performance at the Winter
Garden.
Members of the motorcycle squads
had their first annual dinner at Rec
tors in the afternoon, with Mayor Hy-
Ian and other officials as guests, but
without any poetry.

LIBERTY LOAN LIST
 IN GLENDALE PAPER

Frequently during the past few days The Republican has been ques- toned by Glendale people as to the reason why the Glendale list of sub scribers to the third Liberty loan were not published in this paper
 The Republican wishes to explain that 1t was not only willing, bu anxious to publish this list of sub. scribers, but a request was mad from Glendale that this list be no given to the Phoenix newspapers fol
 publication until after the drive had
 been completed. and then by reques the list was given only to the Glen dale newspaper.
 The Republican is glad that the
 Glendale newspaper is to publish this list first, and willingly waits until after this list of patriotic Glendale people has very appropriately ap-
 peared first in the Glendale paper The list then will be available to Thi
 Republican and will be published ir The Republican so that everyone 1T
 Arizona may know of the very won derful record made by the Glendale people.
 This statement is made in answer to those persons at Glendale who have been asking why The Republican omitted the Glendale list, and thi. paper does not wish it inferred tha | there is any objection to the abov. plan. On the contrary, The Repubii- can is pleased to accommodate in any | manner.

FROM FRENCH FRONT, TELLS ROTAR|ANS 0F
 WORK OF RED CROSS

Joe Doran and Ralph Cameron, Jr., were guests of honor yesterday at the Rotary club luncheon. Both of these young men soon are to enter the ser vice, Mir. Doran in the marines, and MT. Cameron in the aviation corps.
 An especial feature of the luncheon yesterday was an address by Sergeant H. L. White of Kootenay, Canada, who was the principal speaker. His talk was highly interesting and was closely followed by the large attendance.
 Sergeant White has served for three years, two of which were in the trench es on the fighting front in France. He was one of the gallant Canadians early to enter the service. Two of his broth CTS have lost their lives in the service, and he himself has been very severely wounded.
 To aid in the Red Cross drive here next week, Sergeant White has been sent to Phoenix and Arizona by the San Francisco division. In his talk of yes terday the sergeant was graphic in his 1 description of the wonderful work ac- complished by the Red Cross and of its inestimable value to the soldiers. He | explained how early in the war the people at home did not appreciate the | need of the Red Cross nurses and doc
 DTS, but that now all realize it would be almost impossible to get along with out such an organization. Before the Red Cross was fully established at the front there was much suffering and many deaths for lack of sufficient care The Red Cross, the sergeant ex- 1 plained, is the one and only big organi- zation that fills a certain place, the only one that has complete access and the cooperation of all the govern ments of the allied armies. It works with every element of the fighting forces. As a great vehicle of mercy the Red Cross has relieved much sui fering and prevented many deaths Sergeant White impressed upon those at the luncheon that it would seem tc be very small part for the people al home to give money to sustain sucf a great and merciful organization compared to what the men at the iron are giving.
 Clarence Boynton made a splendid talk on the subject of the thrift cam paign. MT. Boynton is captain of on, of the Rotary Thrift stamp societies Several groups of his society, he stat ed, had subscribed over 500 per cent O. the amount originally pledged by them
