LIEUT.. sCHwIEGER LONG DEAD.

PARIS, Aug. 29.-The Ministry OF
Marine denies that a French patrol
boat has captured Lieutenant Schwie-
ger, who commanded the submarine
which sank the Lusitania. II is de-
cared that this German officer died
some time ago.
A dispatch from Paris Tuesday re-
ported the Paris Journal as saying that
lieutenant Schwieger had been among
those rescued from the crew Of a Ger
man submarine sunk in the Mediter-
ranean by French patrol boat. The
German Admiralty had previously adj
mited that Schwieger was killed in an
accident in the Ncrth Sea in Septem-
Der, 1917.

ALLIES TO SOLIDIFY

out Of these various factors.
AT times there have seemed to be ive
OF them:
Siberia's five Governments.
THE Horvath government.
2-The autonomous Siberian govern
ment, or "Derber government" named
after its first premier.
3 - The NladvOstok government.
which for a while claimed the support
OF the allied cOnsuls at VladvostOk.
4-The western Siberian provisional
government. first announced 20 have
chosen General AleXieff as its generai-
issimO.
5-The Czech-Slavs. on whose sensa-
! tional military successes. one OF the
most electrifying campaigns Of the
present war, which / am describing in
a later story, all the new Siberian units
have been built up.
But it is my judgment that, when
all the rumors in this hotbed OF rumors
are sfted, things simmered down. with
Allied Intervention, 10 the Horvath
group. accused Of being somewhat re-
dictionary. and the autonomous Siberian
government group. accused by Horvath
OF being too radical and socialistic.
So great and so general was Russia's
disorganlzation. even here in compars-
lively settled Siberia, that without Al
lied Intervention these two factions
would probably have remained at skies
and sevens, pulling in opposite direc-
tions. until the results OF the Czech
military successes. the actual, factual
basis OF the hope for a new Siberia.
had fallen down in the crack between
them and bten lost. Even today fun
Siberian unity has not been achieved.
But
why Intervention Now Is Timely.
The chief timeliness OF Allied inter-
vention lay in this
Il came at the psychological moment
TO summon the HOrvath crowd and the
autonomous Siberia faction to unite
with the intervening Allied troops and
the Czechs, and present a single front
10 the BolsheviH and armed German
prisoners who are the mutual enemy OF
all these Siberian camps.
Only outside force could have ANAL
gamated Siberians, even when the
Czech-Slavs presented them their release
from Bolshevism on a silver platter
on that basis and toward that end the
present campaign is being conducted

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
SMYRNA, Del, Aug. 29.-It was no
tlced last evening at the Firemen's
Carnival that is being held here that
the Harlan band OF Wilmington, which
is supplying the music for the carnival,
did not play with its usual regard for
musical technique.
Even when Mile. Ruby, the shapely
aerlollst from Luna Park, Coney Is
land, was doing her stunts on the high
trapeze and looking her best in snow
white tights beneath the brilliant cleo
trio lights. the musicians from the Har-
Ian plant did not come up TO their full
form.
Clarence Cox, the leader blew his
horn with g viciousness that caused
remarks; the snare and bass drums did
not roll and beat Mile. Ruby around
and around the aerial arc as they were
supposed to do; while the basso pro-
fundO let out a few sOnOrOus blasts
that strained eardrums, burst rain
cloud and brought on a shower.
Investigation disclosed that the Har-
Ian musicians went to Bowers Beach
yesterday morning on a fishing trip.
When they arrived there the seas were
running so high in the bay that they
did not dare go out. They returned
without a fish or the scale OF a fish
hence their musical distemper.
During the evening Cox composed
three numbers for use this evening
One is 1.-THE Weakflsh Foxtrot': an
other "The Hardhead Jazz" and the

FAVORS EXEMPTION
FOR SHIPYARD men
Admiral Bowles Insists
They Are Most Essential
to War
WILMINGTON TO BE
IN ORGANIZATION

PHILADELPHIA Aug. pa blanket
exemption for shlpyard workers, ex-
elusive Of the clerical force. was ad-
vocated yesterday by Admiral Francis
T. Bowles, manager OF the Tenth Dis
trict Of the Emergency Fleet yards.
"Shipbuilding," he said, SHOULD be de-
clared an essential occupation. The
Government recognizes it as such and
shipbullding is the chief one at the
present time There is a very natural
and proper feeling Of objection on the
part Of the men against asking for, in
dividual exemption. And they should
not have to do so.
THE men themselves will not per-
NIT the shipyards 10 become a haven
for slackers. A man must fight or
work. There are two reasons why
believe unjust advantage would not
be taken OF exemption OF actual ship
workers as a class. In the first place,
a self-respectlng American citizen, cap
able Of doing the work required, would
not be satisfied with being a loafer or
Stacker. In the second place, the
workers know how to get such fellows
out Of a shlpyard. There is plenty Of
paint and there are plenty OF hot riVets
near at hand"
The Hog Island yard he declared, was
only driving twenty-five per cent. OF
the rivets that ought TO be driven
there. There are now 40i rivet gangs
ard three or four times that many are
needed. There is and will continue Tor
some time TO be a great opportunity
TO drive rivets at Hog Island, he says :
an the Admlrars opinion not much
improvement can be made at the pres
ent time by the piccework system: Inc
men have to be trained sufficiently to
make more money by this than by the
flat-rate system, otherwise they are
not attracted or stimulated by 10. And,
besides. the work has to be prepared
in a certain standard way to make the
system practicable.
The forty-flrst keel was laid at Hog
Islsnd Monday, and the sequence OF
parts coming to the yard is now so
nearly balanced that the whole 80 ways
arc expected soon to have ships pro-
crossing in their scheduled stage OF
construction
At Emergency Fleet headquarters a
double sitting process Is going on. one
to determine just which individuals Of
those in the deferred classification Of
the draft arc absolutely essential to
the efficiency cf the work; the other
10 find out how many Of the force can
be eliminated without impairlng the
service.
Announcement was made at the
Headquarters Of the Atlantic Coast
Shinhuilde-s' Association Medical Arts
Building. that a meeting will be held
in the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel on Fri
day. at 8 p. m, for the purpose Of
organizing a Philadelphia and Will

correspond with the section already Or

ALL ABOUT THE CzECHo- -sLOvAKs

ALL AbDtl HE Ah,
They came from Bohemia, Slo-
vakla and adjoining provinces in the
heart OF the central empires, be-
tween Austria proper and Germany.
In the middle ages they were a
powerful Independent nation.
For almost 300 years they have
been Austrian subjects against their
Will.
When the world war started they
made up part Of the Austro-Hun-
garlan army because they had TO.
The Austrians executed hundreds Of

At the first opportunity they de-
serted or surrendered to the Rus

Russian prisoners or units In the
