Crowds were there with cameras.
Little Willie stood with his back against
the rope of the enclosure while his
father took his picture with the NC-4 In

Those lucky enough to be taken up
and introduced to the seaplane made
good the opportunity to have one of the
party lean against the hull and. take a
picture.
Photographers climbed TO the branches

is in charge OF the assembling of the

taking her in. He explained to her that
the wings did not really flap UP and
down when the ship was in motion, but
that those things which she called fans

diners In the Ritz-Carlton restaurant, or
what used to be that In the pre-war
days of Hamburg-American activity.
But they regained their composure
swiftly when they saw the ships fire
department tackle the blaze.
The ship was stopped 80 the wind she
created by her own progress might not
fan the fire. and in less than fifteen min
utes she resumed her course with the
fire out and all hands back to their
posts. The firemen were careful not to
let their powerful streams hit the WIN

Guiding the italian Ambassador, who
seemed to enjoy the spectacle.
Commanding the troops on the I'm

There was some complaint among
casual officers who arrived by the Cap
Finisterre because they were travellers
in quarters usually taken by enlisted
men. There were S4S of them, chiefly
from the infantry, and as a whole they
took the situation good naturally. II
was said that the commander of the
Cap Finisterre, +. r. McCrary, had pro-
tested to his superiors against leaving
Brest with his first cabin crowded with
officers, but Capt McCrary declined to
discuss the subject.

the demands were the subject OF long

adopted, demanding wage increase
OF 90 per cent for every section Of mine
workers; the eight-hour day; and that
the demands OF the miners Of the Pas

to the French railway employees, as

DECREASE IN WAGES SHOWN
Reduction Of Hours Responsible for
New York Factory Workers Max

The bureau Of statistics of the New

ports that factory wages in the state
from January to February declined 5
per cent, due, so 1t is believed, to re-
duction In working time rather than
in rates of payment. During that same
time in which earnings in general have
decreased per cent. the cost Of food
retail, has declined per cent. IN
December and January together, 1t Is
said, earnings decreased 5 per cent
and the cost OF food 8 per cent.
The most noticeable decrease in
wages, the report says, were in the
textile and metal industries, being 9
and 10 per cent respectively. The
firearms group, however, shows an in
creased wage Of 20 per cent in Febru-
airy over January. The entire wage
output for the month of February is
said to have been II per cent greater
than that Of February, 1918, and 30
per cent greater than that of Febru-

Vaudeville performers in the Keith
theatres have received orders from
Edward F. Albee, president of the
B. F. Keith circuit, prohibiting them
from any slurring reference to the
work of the Y. M. c. A overseas.
'SUn-American, un- Christianlike and
blot upon the intelligence and upon
our gratitude for what the organiza
ton has done," is the way in which
Mr.. Albee stigmatizes criticism of the
7. N. G. A in a letter addressed by
him to A. G. Knebel, associate general
secretary Of the "Y" War Work Coun-
Gil.
He bases the, statements in his let
ter upon information obtained by him
self and the employees of his theaters
throughout the country in converse
ton with thousands OF soldiers. MI
Albee declares that he personally
knows ~of the high esteem in which
the theatrical profession holds the Y
NJ. c. A. and all kindred institutions
that have done so much from the be-
ginning Of the war in the foreign
countries. H.:
He speaks also Of the assistance
that actors and artists have so freely
rendered and are s4in rendering, to
the Association, saying: 1.-THE Theatri-
cal people. as whole, have done
inII ~ fhas io$r
from the beginning Of the war, and
are stfll doing it, being active in en-
tertaining the soldiers in the hospit-
ais, at the cantonments, benefits of all
kinds given for the relief and aid So
cieties for our Homecoming troops"
THE Young Mems Christian Asso-
cations devotion, energy and self
sacrifice" Mr.. Albee continues" has
been so glorious and of such magni-
tude that one cannot believe that any
one would consciously criticise its
great work, or refer to it any way ex-
cepting in the most Mandatory terms.
