Hawkins Named to Speed
Canal Barge Construction
Well Known Marine Worker
Engaged by Railroad
Administration

The United States Railroad Admin
istration announced yesterday the ap-
pointment of Clifford S. Hawkins as
chief construction inspector for the
Division of Inland Waterways. Mr..
Hawkins's principal immediate work
will be to speed up work on the large
fleet of steel barges for service on the
State Barge Canal.
Mr.. Hawkins is we'll known in New
York marine circles, having been the
supervising engineer of this city's
municipal ferries, the present person
mel of which he organized ten years
ago. During the war he supervised the
installation Of Diesel plants in govern
ment vessels and constructed feet
of ships for the Mexican Petroleum
Company. The design of these vessels
was accepted rs the standard for all
oil vessels authorized by the U. S.
Shipping Board. He was a factor, too
in sending fleet of "knockdown" sub
marines to Canada, where they were
assembled and launched as part of
Great Britain's navy.
Cap" Hawkins joined the Brazilian
navy under Admiral Mello in 1896
and sailed from New York in charge
of the famous, but then untried, Zal-
insky dynamite gun on the cruiser
Nictheroy. Hawkins had to load, sight
and fire the gun all alone.

Judge Mack Says Je,cs
DO Not Ask Repubic

Judge Julian w, Mack, of Chicago,
one of the nine men chosen to lay the
claims of international Jewry before
the Peace Conference, said at the Free
SynogcTde yesterday that the Jews of
America do not demand an independ-
dent state in Palestine. They do de-
sire, he said, a commonwealth in the
Holy Land under the suzerlanty of
great power such as Great Britain
which was the first TO look with favor
on the suggestion.
"All that the Jews want" he said,
"is the recognition throughout the
world of their inherent rights as hu
man beings, the rights of equality of
citizenship with all other races and
civil religious freedom. American
Jews have nothing to ask of America,
having every right here that every
other race has. But what is desirable
for the Jews in Eastern Europe is a
guarantee by the powers at the Peace
Conference of their freedom from
persecution and their full reception
into citizenship in the countries where
this has been denied them. In many
lands the Jew is regarded as a distinct
nationality and it should be the pur-
pose of all Jews to see to it that the
countries where he is thus dscrimi
mated against be compelled to live up
to their moral obligations-'

Reformers afflicted with the "intel-

Madison Avenue Baptist Church.

astOr Calls This
Christmas Second
Most Important
World Has Reached Its Near.
est Approach to the Mil
lenium, the Rev. DR.. Day
Tells His Congregation

THE second most important Christ
mas in the worlds history" formed the
topic Tor sermons in many New York
churches yesterday. That character
lzation of the great Christian festival
was made by the Rev John Roach
Stratton, pastor of the Calvary Baptist
Church, in his address. The Rev. DR..
James R. Day. chancellor of Syracuse
University, speaking at St. Pau's
Methodist Episcopal Church, hailed the
day as marking the nearest approach to
the millennium that civilization had yet
made.
DR.. Stratton in his sermon said that
the future of civilization was to be
measured in terms OF children.
Baby Christ Most Interesting
The most interesting baby ever born
was Jesus" he said "In the manger
cradle of Bethlehem was locked the
whole destiny Of the world This was
the greatest baby, but the birth of any
child is the most important event on
Garth.
"New York needs to take this to
HFdII, because many OF the S0-called
better class seem to think little Of
babies. A church worker recently
asked her minister how many children
Tor the Sunday school might be found
in a given populous district. The
pastor answered there were probably
not moro than five, but if she we're
looking for dogs she would find about
5000. He said if we started a Sunday
school for dogs we could pack it to
the door"
Wrong War Combated
"A silent, invisible spirit of right per-
vades the world to-day,' DR.. Day said.
This force and its power were never
more apparent than in the last four
years. When in the place of Luthcr's
nation we saw a people of horrible
materialism and miltarism men
rushed forth by hundreds of thousands
determined that things which were
wrong should not assert themselves
over the right.
THE spirit of righteousness was
never so much in the world as it is to-
day. We were never SO near the mllen-
lum as now. Nothing has ever drawn
US so closely together before.
We are finding the kingdom within.
1t Is Christ's kingdom. and it has not
one element which other kings regard
ed as essential: Christ had no army or
navy, yet he built the only kingdom
that can stand upon the earth"

The Fenner law, which requires
municipalities TO pay to a city official
or employe in the military or naval
service the difference between his
lederal and municipal pay, has cost the
cities $6e8 ,8s621.
Because of the increase in the mum
Der of voters all cities have had to
appropriate s303, ,23021 more for elec
tons this year than they did in 1917.

Striking Clothing Workers
To Reject Arbitration Demand

A statement will be issued to-day by
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers op-
posing the arbitration demands of the
Clothing Manufacturers Association.
No forecast of the contents of the
statement could be obtained from the
Anna lgamated's officials yesterday.
The manufacturers have expressed
willingness to submit their side of the
dispute with the 10000 workers now
on strike to a board of arbitration, if
all the problems of the industry would
be decided. The union has previously
opposed this, but has agreed to submit
their demands for an eight-hour day
only and increased pay to arbitrators.

AutOmOtives
Transport Committee to Check
Up on Ferry Con-
gestion

Better ferry service between. New
Jersey points and New York City. as
relief to motor traffic congestion,
is being sought by the Highway Trans
port Committee of the New Jersey
Council of Defence This action is
the result of suggestion to the com
mttee by the Manufacturers Associa-
tion of Newark, as TRANSPORTATION is
seriously handicapped by ferry delays.
The Jersey City Chamber of Commerce
and the Motor Truck Club of New Jer-
sey have already given their coopera-
t'on to the movement.
Thomas J. Wasser, Hudson County
Engineer offers a plan, involving a
census of motor traffic over the fer
rles, to include both motor trucks
and passenger cars. Cards with
blank spaces on which to record the
time consumed in trip from one point
to another which takes in passage
over the ferry and upon which delay
at the terry may be noted, are to be
put in circulation within week and
will be distributed to motor truck
drivers and passenger car operators to
fill out. The cards will have a return
address and upon their receipt by the
committee the information will be
compiled and presented to the Railway
Administration having charge of the
ferries.
The Highways Transport Committee
believes that the service could be
doubled or tripled by putting into oper-
alton all the ferryboats around the
harbor. All me work that is being
done toward keeping the roads clear
of snow in the winter will be of little
avail if the congestion at the ferries
is not relieved.

tribution of it's products Fred Gardway
