said one House member. The sys-
tenn of protection for transports is
wonderful. The way in which the
destroyers swarm about the trans
ports all the way across the Atlantic
and hover about and guard them d ~
and night Is amazing. The officers
and men on the destroyers are using
both their heads and their guns. They
simply will not permit q transport
to take any chance. And that, OF
course, is as it should be. I saw Il
transport at southampton about to
cross the channel held up for twenty
four hours and not permitted to go be-

prehend submarines. Other vessels

FINE WORK N
THEWARZONE

Though the brilliant work Of Tie
American army at the front in
FrsSce is now on the lips OF all
members ef Congress who have re-
turned from abroad, they also have
much to say in high praise of the
navy's work on the other side Of the
Atlantic
Everybody in Congress who has
been "over there" has something fine
to say about Admiral Sims. Only
they don't often use the word "ad-
miral" in speaking OF him. It's just
''Sims,T the plain, blunt direct sailor
man OF action.
It appears that Sims and the navy
have not only won golden opinions
from the British, but they have cap
tured the hearts of the solons who
have seen something of their work
and learned a good deal more.
Not much secret has been made in
conferences between members OF
Congress who have been abroad and
such prominent British naval officials
as Sir Eric Geddes, of just what is
happening in the allied naval world.
Admiral Sims has also spoken with
frankness to Congressman about
phases of the work of hunting down
submarines Some Of the things told,
it is just as well not to print.

U-Boat Defeated.

In a general way, however, the
members Of the House who have
lately been on the other side have
come home convinced the German
submarine has seen it's best days 1t
would not be correct to say it has
been conquered, but Congressman
have been informed in detail Of the
measures taken to combat the sub
marines, the success achieved, the
plans for the future. and so on, and
they have come to believe that from
now on the U-boat will go down hill
and the allied shipping will steadily
expand.
They have got the subs beaten"
said one member OF Congress today.
There will be submarine attacks. of
course. We will have some raidins
on this side. But the worst is over.
The British navy and the American
navy have been doing great work in
hunting down subs. They haven't
made much noise about it, but they've
sunk a lot of them. Sims and our
fellows have made a splendid record.

D. c. BUSINESS MEN
TOAD GOVERNMENT
Continued from First Pase.)

The local community labor board. on
receiving instructions to divert un-
skilled labor wherever possible.
made the mistake OF officially Great
ing a "non-essential" list. The word
ing should have been different, for
high Government officials have
banned the hYphenated word entire
ly. Nevertheless the list remains
about the same as when made up by
the board, except that IL is now
nameless. Also there are no threats
as to what may happen IL employers
fail to cooperate.
The local board frankly admits
that 1t has no power OF enforcing its
decisions as to what an employer
may or may not do when asked to
part with men now under him, but
the statements made by each en-
ployer are being recorded, it Is
stated, and should any serious fric-
tion arise the records will be trans
mitted to higher authorities"
Business Men Patriotic.
There is a splendid tribute to
American business men in the fact
that they have never given much
thought to what could be done to
them" IL they failed to cooperate
with business agencies OF the Gov
ernment in Industrial matters. They
have promptly co-operated- II the
Government thought a thing should
be done, that was sufficient to them.
Serious though the oYerturning might
be they have adjusted themselves.
There has been no spirit OF an
tagonism from q single business man

Kline today. I'VE are appealing to
to go as far as possible in
releasing unskilled men, and we be-
lieve they are going to do It without
any thought Of conflict. We are let
ting them know that there is dire
need Of labor in war work field and
they understand"
Business men who have conferred
with the board are making clear the
kind of work they are doing. number
of men employed, the possibility Of
replacing these with women or boys,
and other facts.
' Employers who DO not get in touch
with the board in q reasonable time
will be visited by examiners. and the
nature OF their business inquired into.
Men released by employers are ex-
pected to report to the Employment
Service Bureau at 1410 Pennsylvania

Policies Sympathetic.
The board does not propose to be
or unsympathetic in it's
policies, II was asserted today: has
no desire to cripple established in

the claims of business men, but in
