Attorney Lewis the horrible accident
in which more than 100 bodies
have beer taken from what is known
as the Malbone. street tunnel OF the
Brighton Beach line of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company. 1t has oeen
determined hat the accident was the
result of the carelessness and reckless
ness of a green motOrman who a
taken the place of a striker. The
strike is a sympathetic one. Nearly
thirty men were discharged without
any apparent cause, and the men de-
handed reinstatement of their fellow
workers. The company refused, and'
in the language of the district attor-
new and the police department, the
accident resulted.
Five hundred sailors ran riot recent
" through the streets OF Norfolk, Va.
The cause Of the riot has not been
determined. A policeman was shot
during the outbreak.
The untoward aircraft situation was
brouhgt about, says Charles E. Hughes
by defective organization of the work
of aircraft production and the serious
lack of competent direction OF that
work by the responsible officers OF
the signal corps"
The Fourth Liberty Loan went over

more than 1886, 416,SOO worth. This
amount will be used to materially re-

The chief waste from the original
aircraft appropriations of 1901, j, 1856,
the report of Charles E. Hughes and
Attorney General Gregory to President
Wilson says, was in the abandonment
of two types Of airplanes, one of them
the Bristol, and a failure to salvage,

CATHOLIC BOYS JOIN

To put behind every Catholic fighter
in France the support Of one boy or

Girls Earn and Give" Division Of the
United Work War Campaign to raise
$17O. 100000 "for the boys over there"
during the week Of November 11-18.
. Through diocesan, county and parfshl
organizations, the rallying of one
youngster for every man who has gOneI
to war in every community is already
under way. By their own earnings,
and not by contributions, it is expect
ed that these sturdy little sponsors

least five dollars for the joint well

are already being picked to represent
each fighting man who has left. their

that flies a service flag little brothers

WOMEN TAKING PLACE OF

London. April 16.-With women
taking the place Of men workers, con-
ditions in many parts of the country
are undergoing remarkable chance.
This is most noticeable in parts
where women land.workers are max.
ing their homes.
The Women's Institute is largely
responsible for the movement which
is gradually revolutionizing village
life, making 1t more attractive and
stimulating sense of citizenship.
In conjuncture with the Food Pro-
duction Department, a preliminary
meeting is called which elects a DEM
tcratic committee representing farm
ers wives, cottagers and landed
women, who thereafter manage af.
fairs, arranging for monthly social
gatherings where useful lectures are
given, exhibitions of housecraft or
gardening skill held, and old, treas
ured recipes and household hints
exchanged.
Several hundred villages already
have their committees and the Food
Department Is inundated with de-
mands Tor organizers and lecturers.

MUCH BURIED MONEY

seemingly agreed that the soil of

German propaganda is the reason.

agents and of newspapers, to assure
persons of Teutonic extraction that
their property will not be seized,
there has been a noticeable shrink

Behind the British Lines in France,
April 16.-The Germans are in for
rude awakening If they are sincere In
discounting the American army In
France, in the opinion Of +. M. Cut
lack, assistant official correspondent
with the Australian Imperial Force
here.
"These American" he asserted,
"have spirit for which the Kaiser
would sacrifice a good half Of his
numbers II he could get 1t into his
troops today" Returning from a
visit to the American forces Mr.. Cut
lack wrote:
1.-THE dominant fact in the arrival
of the United States army is the
huge bigness of It. It is new-new
as paint--and keen as a racehorse In
training-or rather a whole paddock
full Of racehorses. The world will
probably not have the chance again
of seeing such spectacle OF amateur
warlike earnestness, for the Ameri-
cans are learning very fast.
"It saw something OF the same
sort when the Australian War Army
began long ago in 1914-the same
light-hearted enthusiasm, the same
rich raw quality all unstrained and
inexperienced. the same outpouring
of the very best OF the whole coun-
try in an emotion of national pride,
counting neither cost nor returns.
The Americans are not soldiers yet,
and no people realize better than
themselves how much they have still
to do to make themselves soldiers,
but they will be a great and powerful
army in probably shorter time than
they reckon upon.
"Great armies have before this
been raised for great causes and the
British Empire has the best reasons
for knowing how with the vital spark
in him the most unmilitary civilian
may become a fine soldier. But no
army you can read of In history ever
marched with a more splendid ardor
or faced a great struggle with seren-
er satisfaction than the American
