COLORED CREW SETS new
RECORD in Pile DRIVING
Edward Burrell And Helpers at Hog
Island Are New Champions.

Another group Of colOred men as
sisting in the shipbuilding program
arises to claim 4 world record. This
time it is at Hog Island, where Edw.
Burrell, foreman, and his crew drove
22O piles, aggregating IA ,260 lineal
feet, in nine hours and five minutes.
To make this record it was neces-
sary to send 63-foot pile full length
into the ground about every two and
a half minutes The other colored
holder of a world record in ship
building work was Charles Knight,
riveter, who, with his crew, recently
sent home 4,S75 hot pins" in nine
hours, taking the record from an
English riveter
The previous record in pile driv-
ing was held by Capt. Boo" Sutton,
of the Raymond Concrete Construc-
ton Company, also working at Hog
Island, who drove 10,257 lineal feet
of timbers in nine and a quarter
hours-E Fleet News.

comic in its effect
On the Gay when the Austrian ulti-
matum to Serbia was delivered the
Kaiser was on a yachting trip in the
North Sea. That fact has often been
advanced as a proof of German in
nocence. But when DR.. Muhlon
read the ultimatum to Serbia he had
another interview with Helfferich,
to me that the Kaiser had gone on
his northern cruise only as a blind;
ne had not arranged the cruise on the
usual extensive scale, but was re-
naming close at hand and keeping
in constant touch"
And finally Her Won Jagow, Ger
many's foreign minister at the out
break of the war, in replying to
Prince Lichnowsky's evidence, makes
this startling admission, among 9TH
ers: Il by no means share the
opinion prevalent among us today
that England laid all the mines for
the outbreak of the war; on the con-
trary, l believe in Sir Edward Grey's
love of peace and in his earnest wish
to arrive at an agreement with us
Neither was the war popular with
the English people. Belgium had to
serve as a battle field" Won Jagow
even admits that war might have
been averted by an international con-
ference ON the Serbian situation.
I'VE could not agree" he says, Ito
the English proposal of conference
of ambassadors, for it would doubt
less have led to a serious diplomatic
defeat For Italy, too, was pro-Serb,
and, with her Balkan interests stood
rather opposed to Austria. That is
to say, Won Jagow admits that war
was chosen by Germany as an after
native to an international confer
ence, which would have declared the
Austrian demands on Serbia unjust
even in the eyes of Italy, the ally OF
Austria and of Germany.

AN ARMY OF STENOGRAPHERS.

There is today in the City of Wash
ington in active operation an army
whose exploits attract little notice,
large "bit' toward winning the war
for America-an army of stenograph-
ers and typists, twelve thousand
strong, recruited from every state in
the Union. A majority of these SOL
diers of the notebook and typewriter
are girls. Day in and day out their
nimble fingers faithfully click out the
tremendous volume Of correspondence
and records required by a great ma
tion at war. They wear no badge nor
uniform; their work is all work and
has no thrill nor romance; but the
United States could not stay in the
war month without them.
The rapidly expanding departments
of the Government in Washington
employ stenographers and typists
with a greed that seems Unsuitable.
The United States Civil Service Com
mission estimates that there will be
twenty thousand Government en-
ployees of this class in Washington
at the end of this year. Owing to
the general demand the Commission
is finding it difficult task to meet
the calls of the departments. Exam
nations are held every Tuesday in
$50 cities and the Commission states
that an examination will be held in
any city at any time, ,lay Or night,
when there is prospect If assembling
a class of three or foun competitors.
Eligibility may be obtained through
passing an examination in practical
tests in shorthand and typewriting.
1t is practicable to complete such an
examination in one hour. Represen-
tatives of the Civil Service Commits
sion at the post offices in all cities
are furnishing definite information to
persons interested.
