Navy Calls Reserves
For Active Sea Duty

WASHINGTON. July 81 - Orders
have been issued by the Navy Depart
ment calling into active service thou
sands of reservists for duty on ships
constructed under the Shipping Board
and navy building programmes. The
exact number Of men transferred to
the active duty list was not announced,
but it was said to-day that every man
for whom space existed in the training
camps has been summoned.
Further calls of reservists for ac-
tive duty will be made as fast as new
construction is commissioned or the
navy completes it's preparations to as
sumo control of more merchant ton
mage for military purposes. There still
are scores Of ships in this class manned
by civilian crews which eventually will
be taken over.
All naval officers and enlisted men
employed in the Bureau of Supplies
and Accounts, regulars and reservists,
whose duties can be performed by
civilians, are to be released from shore
duty to add to the navy's fighting
strength.
In an order announced to-day Rear
Admiral MCGOWAN, Paymaster General
of the Navy, directed the officer in
charge of each bureaus divisions to
make critical survey Of his per-
sonnel" and report on the maximum
number Of men who can be spared for
sea service.
1t also was learned that the Marine
Corps has determined to replace men
in clerical and similar positions with
women and to send the men to camp

Coal Crisis Confronts
Britain, Says Stanley
German Advance Deprives
France Of 100000 Tons
Annually

LONDON, July 31.--ln a discussion
of the coal situation in the House OF
Commons to-day Sir Albert Stanley,
president of the Board of Trade, said
the German advance since March had
resulted in decrease of 100000 tons
annually in the French output of coal,
which Great Britain would have to sup
ply.
In exchange for the use Of ships of
other countries, Sir Albert added, Great
Britain had had to provide these coun-
tries with more coal; 100000 men had
been withdrawn from the mines for
military services and an additional 75.-
600 had been rcquistioned by the War
Cabinet since March.
The food supply, Sir Albert continued,
now seemed secure, but the coal prob
lem was most grave and could be solved
only by everybody concerned

sumers pulling together to economize

Food Controllers
Warn u. S. of Need
Of Rigid Economy
North America Looked TO
for Supplies to Help
Allies at War
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune }


WASHINGTON, July 31.-Continn-
ance of food conservation by the Amer
lean public to accumulate food reserves
Tor the prosecution of long war, if
that is necessary to humble Germany,
was urged to-day in cabled resolution
received by the food administration
from the Conference of Allied Food
Controllers, now meeting with Herbert
e. Hoover in London.
The resolution emphasized the neces-
slty OF building up reserves in North
America as an insurance against crop
failures and the diminution OF agrl
cultural labor. The cable message reads
as follows:
Resolved, That while the increased
production of the United States rem
dered it possible to relax some Of the
restrictions which have borne with
peculiar hardship upon all our peoples.
SeO ~ Is absolutely necessary that rigid
economy and elimination of waste in
Ihe consumption and han9ling of all
foodstuffs, as we'll as incseased pro-
ouctlon, should be maintained through
out the European Allied countries and
IN North America. 1t is only by such
economy and elimination of waste that
the transportation of the necessary
men and supplies from North America
to the European front can be accom-
plshed and that stocks of foodstutfs
can be built up in North America as
an insurance against the ever-present
danger OF harvest failure and the pos
slpie necessity for large and emergen
cy drafts to Europe. We cannot ad
munster the food problem on the basis
OF one years war. We must prepare
for its long continuance if we are to-
insure absolute victory"
before the war about 10 per cent of
the food deficit in the Allied countries
was provided by America. Approx
mately so per cent of the Allied deficit
was tlled last year by the United
States and Canada. From the 1918
crops the United States probably will
be called upon to supply a much larger
proportion of this ever-increasiny En-
ropean deficit
About 100000 tons of shippino
could be saved if it were possible to
withdraw ships now taking to Eurone
food from Australia, India and South
America. This would transport and
maintain in France much larger army
OF American soldiers, it is pointed out.

Identity of Post S y
New Head Not Revealed

At the Office Of "The Evening Post"
yeste rday it was announced that moth
ing concerning the sale Of the paper
would be made known for five or six
days.
There was much speculation as to
the identity of the person or persons
who had or would acquire the interest
of Oswald Garrison Willard, formerly
president of "The Evening Post" and
its chief owner. 1t was rumored that
a man close to the Washington Ad-
ministration had bought the Willard
stock and that the paper would be
made an Administration organ This
rumor is without foundation.
Mr.. Willard inherited his stock from
his father, Henry Willard, who was
born in Germany, acquired large
fortune in American railroads and OBJ
tanned control of "The Post" in 1881.

Seek to Justify Bombing
Germans Say Red Cross Was
Not Displayed on Hospitals

LONDON, July 31.--In answer to a
question in the House of Commons
to-day, James Ian MACPHERSON, Parlia-
mentary Secretary to the War Office,
said he was aware that the German
government WAS attempting to justify
the bombing of the hospital at Etaples,
France, on the night of May 10, by
alleging that the Red Cross was not
displayed. Dir. MACPHERSON had seen
in German newspapers photogra phs,
published with the intention of prov
ing that the Red Cross sign at the
hospital was not shown on May q,
but existed in large numbers on
May 27
German photographs of this nature
arc never conclusive" he said. an
any case, the hospital was again
bombed on the night Of May 81, in
spite Of the Red Cross signs, which

Friends, However, Are Pull

Him From Court Martial
Farce Disgusts All
Appearance of Ex-Premiers in
Witness Box Unpleasant
Shock to French
By Caspar Whitney
Especial Cable TO The Tribune)

Copyright. 1918. by Tho Tribune Association
PARIS, July 31.--Among the fussy
Paris politicians there is little group
that is ever busilv end darl<ly bur
rowing in its effort to obtain for Gail
laux a trial before the Senate, such
as Malvy is having, rather than by
court martial, as previously arranged.
But after the Malvy vaudeville it is
highly improbable that the authorities
than a military tribunal to decide Gail
laux's fate.
Whether actual legal proof suffi-
c;ent to execute him is in hand is not
disclosed. That his reasonable activi-
ties have fully earned him the death
sentence, however, every Frenchman
believes, save those under the inhu-
ence of certain political cliques. That
is tantamount to saying that every
patriotic Frenchman favors the death
sentence.
Held To Be Dangerous
Even if the evidence on which to
put him to death is not Forthcoming,
enough has developed to prove that
Caillaux at liberty is dangerous man,
carriage of justice through political
The Malvy show we'll illustrates the
license of politicians who are deter
mined to rescue a onetime confrerc
and the hazard of trial in which such
persons receive the freedom of the
Chamber: Yet however urgent or man
ifest is the endeavor to cleanse his rec
ord and bolster his bona fdes through
the unctuous testimonial of his for
mer chief, Aristde BRAND, the evi-
dence given by more disinterested wit
nesses clearly established that regard
less of what verdict the jury may final
ly deliver, his conduct has been in
imical to the best interests of France
at war
Certainly, there is evidence enough
to place him among those who have
failed their country in it's hour of ter
rible need, which of itself is enough
to at least put him out of sight.
The appearance in the witness box
Of former Premiers in such a case gave
patriotic trenchmen and foreigners an
unpleasant shock incidentally, Brands
itch for return to power seems to
have undermined his natural shrewd
ness, impelling him to activities which,
ct such an hour as this, find no re-
sponse save among his coterie of NAL
contents and the narrow type of selfish
Socialist which he is courtng
He has quite lost out with those
Frenchmen who really count and who
might at one time have favored his
appeal for recognition. France has no
patience with or thought for him and
his kind or their brand Of "patriotism."
Her head and heart are with Clemen-
ceau, that single purposed, vibrant
patriot who is holding the ship of state
steady on its course TO victory

EMERALDs MORE COSTLY
THAN DIAMONDS
IN the minds Of the average person

Nm the minds Of the average person
the diamond is regarded as the
Il most valuable Of precious stones,
but as matter Of fact large fawless
emeralds are a great deal more costly
than diamonds of similar size. One Of
the considerations that make these
rich green gems so high priced. if per-
feet, is that they are seldom free from
flaws, says Popular Mechanics. Ac-
cording TO the Smithsonian Institution
0ood diamonds at the present time
are 2Oorth from $3.50 10 S400 per
carat. according to purity and SIZE,
whereas an emerald varies from S3oo
to $500, the price increasing rapidly
with size. Flawless emeralds weighing
more than four carats are practically
priceless, but diamonds of that size
are worth only 81 900 or $4,000.

FEEDING THOUSANDS.

That Malhem and Haney counties are
doing great work i'm producing food for the
nation may be judged by the fact that from
September l, 1917, to September l, 1913, &
total of 2311 carloads of cattle and sheep
were shipped from Ontario and the towns ON
the branches leading 20 the westward
from here.
There was time, years ago, when On
tario alone recorded the shipment of MANY
hundreds of carloads, while today it is fourth
OH the list, topped by Jumtua, Crane and
Brogan. But they all pass thru here and this
is the gateway for business of the hundreds
of stQckmcn.
The Argus can not give figures 10 show
the value of the cattle and sheep but il would
approximate $5.0O0.000 for the year. and
since there are but 10000 people in the two
counties il would seem that there is annie
reason for the prosperity being enjoyed. OF
course the profits of these shipments is a. a
degree concentrated in the hands of but a
comparative few, but that condition will
some day be corrected as the bigger holdings
are divided into smaller ranches.
