STRIKE OF SEAMEN IS INTERNATIONAL
American Labor Trouble is Ex- tending to Ships of Foreign Registry-Vessels Are Being Tied Up.

New York, July 15.-The strike of American seamen assumed an inter- national aspect tonight when Gus H. Brown, secretary of the eastern and gulf division of the International Sea- mems Association. announced that crews of dozen ships of foreign reg istry had quit their vessels in New York harbor. They declared, MT. Brown said, that their strike was not only in sympathy with that of Ameri- can seaman but for the purpose of equalizing all wages on the high seas.
 Crews today deserted Dutch, Dan- ish, Norwegian and Swedish ships, MT. Browne said, adding that Ameri- can union delegates had experienced considerable difficulty in persuading the crews of several British ships to remain at work. The crew of one British vessel, of the Booth line, did quit despite the fact that they had been signed for round trip to Eng land, he said.
 MT. Brown stated he would send cable message to Joseph Herbert Will son, head of the National Firemen's and Sailors Union of Great Britain and Ireland, informing him of the sentiment among British crews here.
 "We dno't want this," he said, "but you can see how the strike fever has spread. We must stop it and I have ordered my delegates to instruct the crews of foreign ships to stay on their boat"
 About 1000 members of the Ameri- can seamen's union are employed on ships of foreign registry, Brown de- clared.
 A general conference of leaders of all marine workers organizations, in- cluding those involved in the strike and unions not yet ogected was held today. General headquarters of the strikers were established this after noon and tonight reports were receiv- ed from Norfolk, Philadelphia, Wash ington, Port Arthur, Galveston, Mo bile, Boston, Newport News and New Orleans, declaring ships are being tied up in those ports as fast as they dock.
 IT. companies have met the unions de- mands.
 No overtures for settlement of the strike were made tonight by either the American Steamship Association, the unions or the shipping board, it was said.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT
 INJECTING EVERY COUNTY

Little Rock, July 16.-The good roads movement is injecting every county of the state. Thousands of miles of improved highway are pro- jected, or under construction. Both the Alexander law and the special acts of the legislature are being invoked for the building of roads.
 Yesterday the Highway Depart ment received the first petition for a road to be built under the Alexander road law from Forrest Center, Scott county, to the Oklahoma line.
 An effort is to be made to induce President Wilson to visit Little Rock during the Centennial in November.

Some hospitals will take girls of
eighteen as nurses. but the require
ments differ with the different hospitals
and your qualifications have great
deal to do with being accepted as a
student. The only way to find out about
to the superintendent of nurses. because
you can judge for yourself how you
answer to the requirements. The Sal
vation Army headquarters is at Broad
street and Fairnrount avenue. aud there
you can find out more about the or
ganization, its requirements for its
workers and the work that it does.
There are numbers of charities and
settlement houses which need workers.
and the social service departments Of
the hospitals are always glad for trained
workers. There is n PENNSYLVANIA
School of Social Service at 1902 Pine

if YOU want to 60 into this kind of work.
This pays rather better than either
