British military medal and letter Of
commentator from General Pershing,
according to "Dooins," a paper pub
lished by United States Reserve Base
Hospital No. 2. General Pershing's
letter in part follows:
~. You were commended by the

in chief of the British army for the
award Of the military medal in the fol
lowing terms:
"'When on duty as operating siste,
at No. 81 Casualty Clearing Station on

ment entered the right cheek and, pene-
trating the orbit, passed into the right
eye, causing instant blindness.
AT the time of the raid, before

Gus gallantry and continued at her
duty in the operating theatre until she
was wounded
"2. The commander in chief desires
to say that he appreciates the excep-
tional conduct shown by you on this
occasion. Such gallantry on the part
of one of our own splendid women is
an inspiration to US ALL"

War Industries Face
Shortage of Labor

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Heads Of
Federal employment service from all
states, here attending the Natinal War
Labor Conference, were told to-day by
Department of Labor officials that war
industries are perilously short Of men,
and that there must be no temporizing
in handling the task Of putting labor
where it will do the most good.
Nathan A. Smyth, in charge of the
unskilled labor section, outlined plans
for recruiting unskilled labor, which
will be taken over exclusively by the
service after July Is. There will be an
agent of the service in every county
and township to aid the 400 branch Of
fees throughout the country. In in
dustrial communities, boards repre-
senting employers and employees will
be organized to play part in the
work.
Louis F. Post. Assistant Secretary of
Labor, told the conference that by
bringing labor and capital together the
service was doing much toward elm
mating inequalities. "By the time the
peace treaty is signed" he said, "thee
old division between employers and
employees as distinct class will have
passed away"

Hungarian Deputy
Denour1ces Secret
Division Of Calicia
Declares Formation of Sep.
arate Province Opposed
to Polish Interests

AMSTERDAM, June 14.-The report
ed secret agreement to make Austrian
Galicia a separate province was at
tackled in the Hungarian Chamber of
Deputies Thursday by Count Theo-
dore Batthyanyi, member of Count
Karolyi's Independent party, according
to a Budapest dispatch. He interpret
lated Premier Wekerle also with refer
ence to the governments attitude on
other phases of the Polish question.
Count Batthyanyi declared that
separate Ga!ician province was in ac-
cordance neither with Polish nor Hun
garian interests, and asked whether
steps had been taken to prevent q
realization of the project.
Premier Wekerle said he regretted
that the count had subjected the action
of the German government regarding
Poland to scathing criticism based on
one-sided information. The Premier
added:
"Whatever sympathies we cherish
for the Poles, the historical fact can
not be denied that the liberation of the
Polish nation, which is also desired by
US, is due to the cooperation and arms
of our allies. We, with our allies, were
the first to proclaim the establishment
of Polish state and to take the stand
point, which we still maintain, that it
is for the Polish nation itself to de-
eide definitely its future destiny. Not
only the government, but the whole
Hungarian nation welcomes the devel-
opment of the Polish nation.
despite our sympathies, however,
our constitutional position must under
go no alteration"
After stating that widely divergent
views had been expressed regarding
the solution of the Polish question in
Germany and Austria-Hungary and in
Polish circles, the Premier said:
"The question has not yet arrived at
q stage at which we or Germany can
describe our attitude, while Poland has
not yet been in a position to declare it's
own standpoint. Under such circum-
stances, the House will understand /
cannot express my views"
The Budapest dispatch does not say
that Premier Wekerle made any refer
ence to the secret agreement. AS re-
CARDS the Ukrainian question, he said
that the treaty with the Ukraine had
not yet been ratified.

Protests Postal Raise

The Central Federated Union, at
meeting in Labor Temple, Eighty
fourth Street and Third Avenue, last
night. adopted as resolution a letter
from Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation Of Labor. asking
Congress to repeal or suspend those
sections of the war revenue act to be-
come effective July increasing postal
rates on second class matter. The ac-
tion was based on the ground that the
law, if put into effect, would mean the
destruction of the free press of the
country" would throw out of employ
ment thousands of printing craftsmen
and enormously restrict the reading
matter of millions of people.
Resolutions also were adopted in
favor Of granting the right to vote to
soldiers under twenty-one years old and
favoring government direction and con-
troll Of telephone and telegraph facili-
ties. A protest entered against the
proposed enactment providing for wom-
en- bartenders by the bartenders' union
also was indorsed.

An assurance Of the cooperation OF

ice shortage this summer resulted from

jamin B. Odell, State Ice Administrator.
and Jonathan p. Day, Commissioner of
Markets, patched up their differences
and discussed plans.
The principals in the lively tilt of a

mer Governor Odell, at 120 Broadway,
and shook hands without hesitation.
"You can rest assured, doctor. that
everything we can do to help you pro-
tect the poor of the city will be done,"

sponded.

price at the bridge to 81 thousand
pounds. 1t is now $4.4O. He also urged
that the maximum price for delivery

Comfort Grief-Stricken Woman

!he prison chaplain, to set the wheels
In motion for the withdrawal Of his ap-
peal and his early execution. That
came later from Father Cashin him
self.
Mrs. Chapman already knew that as
a result OF the uproar ut the last open
ing of the brown door to the death
chamber all privileges had been cur
tailed along Murderers' Row. When
she broached the subject Paul admitted
ne had not seen the sky for a month.
But when she spoke of his surround

Just Like Club
ut isn't bad here at ALL" he asserted.
I've got lots of time for reading, and
there are some mighty good books in
the library. can have as many as
! want. And the fellows are fine.
They've all made their mistakes, like
I've made mine, but YOU mustn't think
eyre bad lot. We get along great
together, just as if this was a club"
Part of the time Paul talked to Mat
thew w. Wood, who was there because
he was Paul's lawyer, and to a Tribune
man, who was there because he had
a Supreme Court order. Mr.. Wood had
sent him transcript of the testimony
IN his trial for completely in the murder
of Sam and Harry Regensburg, whose
home in Brook yn Pathfinder the
leadership Of another boy. who did the
actual shooting-had planned to rob.
~ can't read the record, Mr.. Wood,
so please take it back" Paul pleaded.
"It's too-ghastly. You know all I
know, anyhow. I've always told the
truth, and l didn't kill anybody or
shoot at anybody. If they're going to
electrocute me for what l did do l
suppose there can't anything stop them,
though.
"The fellows up here tell me that I
talked too much when 1 was arrested.
Well, the minute the detectives got me
I made up my mind to tell them every
thing. No, sir, l think I'd almost as
soon be here as go through life with
all that on ny conscience"
Would Like to Go to School
Paul was asked what he would do if
in some way he could at once be freed.
"No danger of that, l guess" he
smiled. "But l think I'd want to go
back to grammar school for another
six months and graduate. Then I'd
get job and go to night school until
I'd learned trade. I'd like to work
around automobiles or engines. That's
the kind OF active work I've got to do.
You know father and brother died of
consumption and don't want to take
chances"
1t was o'clock when Paul's visitors
left him--a bright, somehow likable
sixteen-year-old boy, with plenty of
faults, but not without his better
points, closed up in shadowy border
land between life and dishonored
death.
A few hours later Herman Ostransky
Alvah Briggs and Peter Lischuck, men
with whom he had for months rubbed
elbows and broken bread and exchanged
thoughts on morals and Immortality
were led through the brown door tc
their end.
Must sixteen-year-old Paul Chapman
follow them?
Will the people permit what the Law
demands?

Greek Minister Attacks
Statements Issued by
Enemy Diplomat
Cites Aggrandizement
Charges Acts in Balkans Dis
pute Claims Put Forth
in Washington
Especial Dispatch to The rrionne)

Especial Dispatch to The Tribnme)
WASHINGTON. June 14.-Georges
Roussos, the Greek Minister, issued
statement to-day assailing declarations
recently made by Stephan Panaretoff
the Bulgarian Minister to the United
States. He said: f
1.-The representative Of the Bulga-
rian government in the United States
has been lavishing declarations on the
American public. One feels quite puz-
zled as to whether the author is ac-
qualned with the policy Of the govern
mcnt he is representing.
"The Bulgarian Minister recognizes
that portion of the Dobrudja, which
was taken from Rumania, is inhabited
by Rumanians, and that in Transyl-
vania, wholly under Hungarian rule,
there is a considerable Rumanian ele-
ment. There is no consequence to this
declaration but one, that the Rumanian
Dobrudja should be given back to the
Rumanians and that the Rumanians of
Pennsylvania should be assured of
their independence.
"The Bulgarian government does not
seem, though, to share these views;
they have annexed the whole province
of Dobrudja, and, furthermore, the
Rumanian ports of the Black Sea are
actually under the control Of the Cen
tral powers. AS for Pennsylvania, it
is no secret that one of the dogmas
Of the Bulgarian policy is the extern
sion of Hungary and the establishment
of common frontier, with the latter
at the expense of Serbian territory.
The Bulgarians for some time had
taken as much advantage as possible
Of their Slavonic origin, representing
themselves even as one of the purest
elements of this race. To-day, though,
to to help their cause, they claim Tura.
nlan or Tartaric origin, which would
bring them into the brotherhood of the
Hungarians and the Turks. Their aim
is undoubtedly to consolidate the Hun
garian and Turkish power with the
purpose Of taking personal advantages
later. They have consequently imposed
on Rumania to make concessions on the
Transylvania border, which brings Ru-
manians of Rumania under Hungarian
rule.
"The declarations Of the Bulgarian
Minister, therefore, are diametrically
opposed to the acts Of his govern
ment. Whom should we believe? The
American public, however. will not be
misled.
What was, therefore, the object OF
the Bulgarian Minister in the United
States when he tried to compare the
liberal principles of the United State:
with what has been the rule of the
Bulgarian policy? What should one
think Of his declarations If they are
merely the expression of his persona
opinion? They are undoubtedly il
contradiction to what are the prin
cipal features of the Bulgarian policy
But personal opinions in this case are
of no Importance ana can have no in
fuence in general matters. 1t is pos
sibly a case Of disagreement betwee.
the representative and those he repre-.
sents.
"In such a case every conscientious
person knows what would be his duty
If such is not the case, then the Amer
lean public can easily make up their
mind and realize the object of such de-
clarations."
