Daughter Sues to
Gust Baudouine
Estate Executors
She Accuses Father and
Uncle Of Violating
Their Trust

Mrs. Marguerite B. Burke has brought
an action in the Supreme Court for an
accounting in the estate Of her grand
father, Charles A. Baudouine, in which
she makes various charges against her
father, John F. Baudouine, yachtsman
and horseman, and her uncle, Charles
A. Baudouine, executors Of the estate.
She also asks that they be removed
from the exccutorship, that they be
surcharged with S175,000 and be COM
PEELED to make good all cash principal
misapplied from the estate. John +.
Baudouinc has been married three
times, the plaintiff being a daughter by
his first marriage.
Says Executors Got Too Much .
Charles a. Baudouinc, the testator.
died III 1885 and left an estate valued
real estate assessed at S2,49S 900, and
it included numerous Broadway and
Fifth Avenue properties. He left his
estate in trust, his sons to receive an
income out Of the principal, which at
the death Of the sons was to so to
their children. 1t is the allegation OF
Mrs. Burke that her father and uncle
"in violation of their powers and the
trust imposed in them unlawfully
mortgaged property valued at $l75, 900"
and have not discharged the mortgages
against the property. She also COM
plains that the executors have paid
themselves tco much money out cf the
trust estate, which, she says, also was
true in the payments made to Abram
Baudouine, another uncle, who died a
little more than year ago.
Mrs. Burke says the executors of her
grandfathar's estate rendered an ac-
counting in 1896 and did not file an
other until 1916, the latter being made
necessary by the death of Abram Bau-
douine.
Objects to Lives of Luxury
In the interim, she alleges, her father
kept her in ignorance OF the estate,
which in the twenty years between ac-
count;ngs had brought an income Of
50, ,596. AS to her uncle Abram,
Mrs. Burke says that he was "a gentle
man of no especial social pretensions
and no station to maintain, with only
q wife dependent on him." She says
that although $4,000 year would have
been sufficient to allow him out of the
trust estate he was able to accumu-
late S75O000 out of his share of the
income. Her father, it is alleged by
Mrs. Burke, lavished his money "on
the support and entertainment of social
parasites"

Democracy is fighting at the lathe as
well as in the trenches, and democracy
must march with song on its lips.
Such women as these. with their
stories behind them, and the young
Americans, who have as yet had only
the vision and not the story in their
own lives, are contributing their share
to the very practical thing which is
going on in Bloomfield. 1t is SO prac-
tical, indeed, that already certain
labor leaders have noticed it, Major
w. j. Hawkins, vice-president of the
company, vouches for the fact that
these women have speeded up produc-

DATE IS TO-DAY

This is the fore-runner OF a serie.
of letters to be sent every little while
by the National Woman's Libert,
Loan Committee. These viii tel
you something of how the vast sums
of money appropriated for the pros.
ecution of the war are being spent
by the Government.
The money We pay out and what
we get in is a fair statement of our
war program and of our National
achievement SC far. and indicates
definitely the magnitude OF our un-
dertaking, the giant scale OF prep
aration and the standard we have
set for ourselves in this grim strug-
gle to preserve our national life and
the civilization of the world. What
we have done so far points TO what is
before us-what we must do week
by week and month by month until
the war is won.
In normal times--in peace times
1T costs about a billion dollars a
year to run the Government. For the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1918.
Congress appropriated in round num-
bers. including deficiencies. $~1S,SS2,-
coo. 900. For 1919 Congress has ap-
propriated in round numbers at the
present session, including deficiencies
and appropriation bills pending,
S24,3S0, 600 900.
The mind is often confused over
appropriations and "expendi-
lures Congressional appropria-
tons fix the limit of what may be
used. Then the Government depart
mcnts and bureaus spend what is
necessary. At the end of the year
the appropriation lapses. official
figures show for the fiscal year 1918
the Government spent s12,6q6, 7o2,-
|471.14 and in addition during the
war months of 1917 disbursed $780,
900 900 for loans TO Allies.
Our Allies, on the other hand,
owing to lack Of preparation, had
to come to the markets of the United
States for most of their war neces-
%saries, and in the years of our neu-
I~trality their account with us totaled
approximately SO. 453,524.547.
You will be interested in knowing
some of the things our Allies really
did with the sums we lent them,
First they used over $3.50, 900, 0of
for relief in Belgium and Servia.
Resides the mormon expenditures
embraced in the term munitions oi
war" they have spend $1,000, 000,0 00
for meat and other foods and 5000.
l000,0 900 for cotton.

5000 TRAINED MEN
 WANTED AT ONCE
 BY UNCLE SAM
Special Representative H. A. Wheeling of Ordnance De- partment to Visit Bir-
 mingham This Week

Uncle Sam must have at once ap-
 proximately 5000 especially trained em
 ployes to assist in the manufacture of munitions. This is patriotic service and is vital to the successful prose cution of the work of the ordnance department.
 This call for men is urgent; muni-
 tions must be manufactured in tre-
 mendous quantities for our soldiers in
 France. No one factor will bring vic
 tory in this war: ships must be con
 structed, transportation provided, food
 conserved fuel saved and munitions
 delivered promptly as demanded by
 the commanding officel of our over seas forces.
 The time has arrived when every available American citizen, both men and women, who can fill anw of the following positions, and who is no. now actively engaged in government
 work, must consider this personal appeal This appeal represents an op- portunity for service on the part of those who are responsible to their | families and who cannot afford to serve the government without receiving re- muneration; the appeal addresses itself to those persons who have not been included in the draft and who may be
 willing to serve the country in a civil
 ian capacity, provided they are i'm pressed with the urgency of the need
 and believe their services are neces- sary.
 Special Representative H. A, Wheeling of the ordnance department will be in Birmingham Monday and Tuesday for the purpose of accepting applica-
 cations from those qualified to serve MT. Wheeling may be consulted at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. between the hours of 10 and 12 o'clock
 Monday and Tuesday.
 l The ordnance requirements include 1 300 mechanical draftsmen, 600 me- chanical engineers. 800 inspectors ord- nance material, 1000 inspectors of niu- nitions, 1000 assistant inspectors of munitions, 200 chemists. 100 clerks qualified in statistics or. accounting, l or office administration, or business administration, 250 clerk bookkeepers, | 40 construction foremen, 100 assist
 ants to business manager. 100 experts 1 in business administration, 1t0 statis- 1 tical experts.

MAJOR WATT MAKES STRONG APPEAL FOR
 RED CROSS FUNDS
Large Audiences at the Lyric and Bijou Theatres Give Famous
 Chaplain Warm Welcome

Two packed houses heard Maj
 Houghton Macean Watt, chaplain of the Gordon Highlanders. speak at the Lyric and Loews Bijou theatres last night on the war and the Red Cross campaign that opens tomorrow. On account of the vaudeville artists at Loew's having to catch an early train for Memphis he did not speak there until after 10 o'clock
 but the audience remained to hear him, and his remarks were heartily received.
 Major Watt told of warfare as it Is waged in France. and of the great task the allied armies have before them in winning the war, but he expressed confi- dence in ultimate success. He made q strong appeal for subscriptions to the Red Cross fund. lauding the men and women who have given up their time and their business that they may con- tribute to the comfort of the soldiers.
