WAR WORK NOT
TO BE CRIPPLED
BY COMING DRAFT
Darragh Delaney, of the War
Department, ReasSures
Manufacturers

Philadelphia, Sept. 5.-War indus
tries will not be crippled in the next
draft which includes men between
the ages of Is to As. This assurance
was given to the ordnance manu-
facturers of Philadelphia at the
weekly meeting at the Manufacture
ers' Club yesterday by Darragh De-
lancey, of the War Department, who
is associated with Provost Marshal
General Crowder. Mr.. Delancey pre-
dicted that men with dependents
would not be granted deferred classi-
fication' under the new draft regula-
tionS, unless they were engaged in
essential occupations.
Mr.. Delaney said that there would
be no Presidential appeal in the
coming draft. The district boards, he
said, would be almost Independent
bodies to make such decisions as
they saw fit, as long as these deci
sions did not conflict with the nation
al selective service regulations.
Three methods by which to obtain
and hold their skilled workers were
outlined to the ordnance manufac-
turers. To get a deferred classifica-
tion a government contractor is COM
PEELED to show the district board that
he is the manager of an essential in
dustry. If he can prove he is engag-
iIl6 WOIhlleH III dl eSSenlldl III
dustry he can ask for a deferred
classification for his men.
The second idea is the indefinite
furlough" plan. This was explained
as method by which a workman
may be returned from camp after
once being inducted into the service.
He must be skilled in his line and
will thereupon be granted an inde-
finite furlough. He does not wear his
uniform while on duty. but off duty
he must wear the soldiers uniform
to show that he is still in the service.
Many skilled workers, Mr.. Delan-
cey said, have been so overcome by
their patriotic emotions that they
had enlisted and this at first threat
ened to take advantage of the oppor-
tunities offered them to obtain skill
ed workers, and to keep them.
The newly organized section of the
ordnance department intends to con-
tinue these Wednesday morning talks
and to have speakers of prominence.
Addresses on subjects vital to the
producers of ordnance material will
be delivered and all are invited to
attend the conferences.

BOLD TEUTON SHIP
PLOT IS Barred BY
COMPANY SEIZURE
Alien Property Custodian Pal
mer Takes Over American
Transatlantic Concern

Few York, Sept. 5.-On the ground
of German ownership, the American
Transatlantic Company, which. until
its ships were commandeered by the
United States Shipping Board in Oc-
tober, 1917, operated in ocean trade
a fleet of eleven steamships flying the
Stars and Stripes. has been taken
over by A. Mitchell Palmer. alien
property custodian.
Richard G. Wagner, formerly OF
Milwaukee, an American-born citi-
zen, head of the concern, for three
years deceived the American govern
ment with truly Prussian arrog-
ance," as we'll as British and French
prize courts as to the real ownership
of the property, according to francis
P. Garvan, Investigator for the GUS
todian, who made public last night
a summary of Wagner's activities.
The ships were, in fact, bought
with German gold and the company
was organized eight months after
the outbreak of hostilities with funds
which Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man Ambassador, caused to be trans
mitted here for Wagner's benefit
Wagner, under the examination OF
Mr.. GarVan, protested the SnlpS Were
American owned until the last; but
finally confessed, before the weight
of evidence, that the backing of this
venture to keep German commerce
on the high seas came from German
shipping interests.
Refused to Remove Captains
Suspicion toward the American
Transatlantic Company was enter
tanned by this government from the
time that Wagner sought to have his
eleven ships. then flying neutral flags,
transferred to American registry.
While he succeeded by complying
with all the technicalities of the law,
it is known that the American Trans
atlantic Company was closely watch
ed At the time the ships of the COM
pany were Communicated by the ship
ping board, as were other ships fly
ing the American flag. the Navy De-
partment, it is known, refused to de-
liver to the commanders of the ships
confidential instructions and other
naval secrets, because they were not
American citizens.
