land yesterday, II know they would not
allow single unused violin or banjo
to remain in their attics. We know
from officers of the Allied armies, as
we'll as from our own officers. of the
great value Of music in making army
morale.
Hundreds of our boys were told at
the beginning of the war that they
would not be allowed to take musical
instruments to camps, 80 they sold
them or gave them away, and, of
course, on army pay they arc not able
to buy new ones now, even if they can
come to New York to the music stores.
1--WE have received some very re-
markable letters from boys to whom
we have given instruments. How can
I ever repay you for the guitar you
sent?' one boy wrote. 'I'll do my best
to bring you the Kaiscr's head to put
In one of our great American mu-

Another boy brought us a battered
banjo, which he had used in the
trenches. He caught the pitch Of the
shells singing over their heads and
played an accompaniment to them.
That's morale for you!"

Employment Bureau
Prepares to Garry
Out Croavder Order

The United States employment SER
vice in New York City has been pre-
pairing for several weeks for Provost
Marshal General Crowder's order call
ing all men of draft age to the colors
or to useful occupations.
Without any public announcement
tho service has expanded from an OBJ
scure and comparatively dormant
agency in the Barge Office, on the Bat
terry, to big central institution, with
branch offices all over greater New
York. An indication Of Low completely
the service has been reorganized. and
enlarged may be seen in the fact that
$4,000 persons have been placed in po-
sitions thus far during this month. The
largest previously monthly record in
the history of the New York district
branch was 600.
AS explained yesterday by officials
of the service this sudden expansion

sue in placing in useful and essential

LONDON, April Pals 1t realized

WASHINGTON, May ga petition
has been presented to the German
Reichstag by four pacifist associations,
the Deutsche Friedensgesellschaf the
Bund News Vaterland, the Deutscher

den, and the Zentralstelle Volksrecht,"
says a Paris dispatch. This petition
examines the war aims which Germany
must strive for. and declares itself
against an annexationist peace.
"This petition, dated February IT,,
1913, contains long passage on the
Alsace Lorraine question. This pas
sage proves that the signers, in spite
Of their pacfism, do not dare oppose
the current, and concludes with the
statement that the solution Of the AL
sace-Lorraine problem cannot be looked
for anywhere but inside the empire.

Declares teWork or War
Rule" Won't Be Used
Against Strikers
Purely Military Move
Nm Intention, He Says, to In
terferc in Labor Depart
ment's Province

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Formal de-
NAL that Provost Marshal General
Crowder's work or fight" regulations
were promulgated with intentto affect
labor conditions was made to-day by
Secretary BakSr. They arc purely
military measures, the Secretary said,
designed to modify certain privileges
in the way Of deferred classification
in the draft now granted some regis
trants and are not intended as In In
direct CONSUMPTION Of labor.
Explaining the effec of the regula-
ton In cases of unemployment due to
strikes, Secretary Baker said:
~The regulation is silent on that sub
ject. bat It is not the intention of the
department to permit the draft regula-
tons to DO used to affect any such
labor controversy, and unemployment
By reason Of strikes will not be re-
garded in such way as will cancel
either exemption or deferred classifi-
cation
1.-THE whole question Of the relation
of the government to labor Is for adj
min;stration by the Labor Department.
and the War Department does not in
tend any direct interference in it."
II want to state in the most positive
way that this regulation has nothing
to do with the labor situation of tho
country, and it is no part of the inten-
ton Of the War Department, either in
this regulation or any other, to under
take to affect the labor situation of the
country by military regulation. The
sole purpose Of this order is to guide
exemption boards in their duty to APP
ply the provisions of the law affecting
occupations as a reason for exemption
and deferred classification"
The shortage now existing in some
lines of industry, particularly the non
skilled branches, is expected to be ma
terially relieved when the regulations
become effective and men Of draft age
now engaged in what the War Depart
ment terms unnecessary lines of en-
deavor turn to essential work.

Lorraine. The same document main
tains the validity of the Frankfurt
treaty, forgetting that Germany herself
tore it asunder, and pretends that the
cession of Alsace-Lorraine in 1871 is
still covered by international law.
I'm fact, the Frankfurt treaty does
not exist any more since the German
aggression. Germany destroyed this
treaty with her own hands, which had
recorded one of the grossest violations
Of the rights of peoples. After setting
aside the right of Alsace-Lorraine to
bows in advance to the will Of the
Prussian military caste. 1t says:
Metz has practically become German
city, and the decisive word about her
fate ought to be said by the military.
The answer probably would be in the
negative"

 m many cases work which has talk en days to perform ls swept away Dy a heavy sea.
 One O1 the most brilliant achieve mentS of the department was the raIS- ing o1 a colner partly filled with coal, on top ot which was another Sunken vessel which forced the colliers hull deeper into the sea bed.
 LIFT $500 TONS.
 1t meant lifting a dead weight of $500 tons, and four lifting vessels, with l6 wire ropes 3 inches thick, d'd the work. Successive lifts, aided by the tide, with divers patching the holes in the wreck, and much pump ing, finally accomplished the seem ingIy impossible feat of lifting both the sunken ships. The collier was re- paired and restored to service.
 At present no ship can be raised from a depth exceeding l2O feet, as at this depth the pneumatic tools used for cutting and drilling theship's side refuse to work But with English and American ingenuity striving constant ly for improved methods, 1t may some day be possible to recover ships sunk in deeper water.
 AS an example of how a ship can be repaired no matter how badly damaged, the admiralty cites a large oil tank steamer, which with a cargo of oenzine, struck mine and caught fire
 Salvage vessels rushing to the res cue fired 40 shells into the vessels hull to sink her and extinguish the flames. An explosion took place be- fore she sank. But despite all this damage the ship was successfully raised and repaired.

FAST PROGRESS
 IN SALvAGING
 SUNKEN BOATS

LONDON, Aug, l6 - So success full has been the work of the admiral ty salvaging department that hopes are now being raised that some of the larger vessels torpedoed by the Ger mans may be recovered.
 1t is not too much to hope that the Lusitania may some day be raised, for salvaging methods are steadily be ing improved and the efficiency of the department is being increased.
 From January, 1915, to January, 1918, the admiralty recovered 2GO merchant ships sunk by the Germans in British waters. This year, up 10 the first of June, t47 ships have been salvaged, or more than half the num- Der recovered last year.
 This increase is not due to the greater activity of U-Boats, but to more efficient salvage methods.
 MEN ARE HEROIC.
 The salvage workers are doing as heroic work as sailors in sea battle or the men at the front Many times their lives are in peril. One salvage vessel was torpedoed while at work
