by Surgeon General Gorgas.
The buIl Sings proffered are an nd <
minstration building and four dornfi.
tories and are ideally suited for the ptr-
pose, city officials say.
It was the original Intention Of the
Government officials to locate base hos
pital in the woods In the vicinity os
Philadelphia. in order to permit the ioys
from this city who are invaded from
overseas from wounds or disease to re-,
ceive treatment near their homes. WheE
the matter was brought to the attention
Of Mayor Smith and Director Krusen thu
two officials determined to place TIM
buildings on the Byberry tract at the
disposal of the Government. They tool
the ground that since Philadelphia hat
contributed such a large number OF mer
for service in the army II was only fair
that convalescent hospital should be
located in the environment from which
they came. ca
The five buildings in question are sur
rounded by tract of land containing
about 200 acres. The four dormitory
buildings will have accommodation Tor
about 500 patients, but with little -.
tustment the capacity can be increased
to 1000 Each building Is about 50 per
cent completed. and fully 95 per cent Of
the material for finishing the structures
is now on the ground The cost OF this
particular group of buildings 10
$l,250,000.

Name When Ready to Sail
By the Associated Press

Havana. July 20.--The schooner Geor-
gina Roop, which has on board 100000
liters GsOO gallons) of Cuban rum.
apparently for Uruguay. is under de-
tention here by Cuban treasury officials
The vessel was seized yesterday. after
it was learned that, when about to sail.
she had suddenly changed her name and
there seemed reason to suspect the rum
might not be intended for Uruguay as
the ships papers stated.
For some time there had been report
ed that German submarines had been
supplied with Cuban rum and alcohol
at points near the Spanish coast It is
understood that these reports. coupled
with the schooner's sudden change of
name, prompted the officials to detain
her In order to make sure that her
cargo was really destined for Uruguay

LABOR BOARDS
TO RECRUIT MEN
Go IN m u nifty Bodies to
Handle State Problem,
Trigg Announces
ORGANIZE HERE SOON
Plan Decided Upon at Confer.
ence Held With Densmore
in Washington
ORGANIZE HERE SOON

Community labor boards in various
parts of the State will be intrusted with
the task of recruiting and placing skilled
and unskilled labor in Pennsylvania.
This has been made public by Ernest
T. Trigg, president of the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce, who represented
this city in the States delegation at
washington yesterday, when J. b. Dens-
more. director general of service. con-
ferred with representatives of twenty
eight States east Of the Mississippi.
The plan is destined to add stability
to the labor supply and make the prob
lem of securing men for essential in
dustries much less troublesome than it
is at the present time In their work
the various communities will be super
vised by a State board, subject to di-
fections from the proper authorities at
Washington.
Will Keep Politics Out
A chairman of the Philadelphia board
and the personnel of the board itself
will soon be organized. Steps will be
taken to see that politics do not creep
into the choice Of men for the position.
Mr. Trigg says
Mr.. Trigg was empowered to carry to
Edgar c. FELTON,, Pennsylvania State di-
rector of the employment service, direc-
tions to request Philadelphia and other
newspapers to refuse to accept adver-
tisements for workers for other States
and other parts of the same Common
wealth. Some local papers have already
agreed to refuse such advertisements,
Mr.. Trigg announced In speaking Of
the new plan. he said:
The entire plan for labor recruiting
has been left till the last in the genera
program of Government war control
and 1t is the biggest and most import
ant. That 1t should have been left Sc
long is only reasonable in view of the
Importance of the project and that Il
more than anything else, touches the in
dividual closely. 1t is. matter which
took long and careful consideration"
