NAVY YARD CLERKS ONLY
ENTITLED TO $3.50 BONUS
Mr.. Roosevelt Reports to Secretary
Daniels His Findings-No Fund
to Extend Effect.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the
Navy, to whom the question was refer
red for investigation. has reported to
Secretary Daniels that there appears to
be no authority Of law, nor any funds
available, to extend the benefits Of the
$3.50 salary bonus now allowed cleri-
cal employees at navy yards to me-
chanics and an other classes of labor at
the yards.
He took the ground that the law of
Congress was designed for the sole ben
eft Of the clerical employees whose sala-
ries had not been raised for many years
and not to the workingmen whose
wages had been raised three times in
recent years. At any rate, the appro-
priations evidently had been based on
that theory. he said, and would not per-
nit of the extension asked for the rep
resentatives Of other classes of en-

u. S. MILITARY POLICE
END GERMAN STRIKE
Use Machine Guns and Sawed-Of
Shotguns as Attempt Is Made to
Extend Berlin Trouble.

COBLENZ, July % (by the Associat-
ed Press).-American military police.
armed with machine guns and sawed
off shotguns, put down strike Of
German workmen yesterday in less
than two hours after the men had
walked out, merely by their presence
in the district
The strike, involving 500 Germans,
was in Bendorf- on Rhine. It was call
ed in conjunction with the general
strike in Berlin and other parts of
Germany, in spite of warnings issued
from American Army headquarters.
When word reached Coblenz that the
men had struck, forty military police
men under command of Capt. William
Dewhurst of New York City rushed
ITO Bendorf in motor trucks. The SOL
diers took up positions in various
parts of the town.
Almost as soon as the machine guns
were in position the strike leaders
sent word to Capt. Dewhurst that the
strike was called off.
In several other industrial villages
in the occupied region where strikes
were expected to take place the mill
tary police were on duty with their
machine guns and shotguns. No tr.ou-
BILE at any of these places has been're-
ported.

Vital Test of Soldier.

During the world war officers were
regarded as a distinct class and pri-
waite soldiers were made subordinate
class, whether on or off duty. In our
civil war private soldier who
showed high soldier qualities in the
trying ordeal of battle was booked
for promotion. We had no grammar
school for officers in order to qualify
them to command. Our war demon
strated the fact that while knowl-
edge of military tactics and discipline
are necessary qualifications of an
officer. the one vital test is the cour-
age to stand fire in the hot hell of
shot and shell. and to hold the mental
alertness. the cool judgn lent and calm
poise in this terrible environment
IF there is now some prejudice
among the private soldiers against
their officers it is largely on account
of this new system of military train
ing that put schoolma
officers over private soldiers who had
no battle experience and giving the
men who stood behind the guns no
favoring chance to earn promotion
actual conflict.
Hence, i say in all candor and with
q judgment based upon an experience
of some forty-two battles that l hail
the private soldier and sailors of this
world war with my most fervent pray
ers for a successful mission to make
fraternity and real comradeship a
living vital element in their future
lives. with the hope that they will SO
live that a grateful people will ap-
prove their conduct and example;
furthermore that they will not have

ceive practical recognition of a ma

The American train. however. pro

The French were in a tumult.
When the American train was
within a short distance of the French
train the airbrakes were applied and
the former was stopped precisely
where it would have been finally un-
der the regular French railroading
procedure.
Then the drama-loving French
gave that train an ovation. They
applauded and cried Bravo" Just
as if they were at the opera.
That incident and others like it
have removed from the European
railroading mind the bad impress
sion created by the hastily construct
ed railroad equipment in Egypt.
Indeed, during the war America
gave to Europe most convincing
demonstration Of the value of Amer
lean equipment.
The railroads of the countries
which have taken an active part in
the war have suffered great depre-
ciation in equipment and rolling
stock. Parts of them have been de-
stroyed.
The railroads Of the neutrals have
been allowed to deteriorate, because
the neutrals were unable to obtain
materials, cars and locomotives. Sc

1t is not unlikely that a number Of

the great loss and curtailment OF
capital abroad, it is quite probabl,
that American capital will be usec

This makes it certain that more thar

w ar Costs Pile
Up Lons; After
Fighting Stops

a MERICA issues her fifth ap-
~ peal for fighting dollars at
time when the diplomatists of
the world seem ready to write their
signatures on the parchment of
peace. The plain citizens who CON
stituted so large a proportion of
the 2O,OO0,0OO subscribers to the

precisely why the Treasury seeks
war loan more than five months
after hostilities on the field of bat
tie have ceased
If the gods who regulate the des-
tiny of mankind could have touched
an electric button on November
II, and instantly reconstructed the
world, perhaps a Victory Liberty
Loan of $4,000, 100000 would have
been unnecessary. Under such
divine conditions the last gun OF
the war would have been fired and
presto EVERY soldier and every
auxiliary would have been back
working smoothly at his pre-war
job. There would have been no
post-armistice war cost.
But in the real world in which
human beings live demobiization is
costly. And occupying enemy coun-
try is also expensive. Technically,
the war will not come to an end
until the treaty of peace is for
mally proclaimed. Economically, it
will last until the last civilian fighter
is discharged.
Moreover, debts from the pre-
armistice period still hang over.
When the issue of the great CON
f1ict remained to be decided, the
government could scarcely wait for
direct popular authorization for
each expenditure. The response Of
Americas millions in the first four

pie Of the United States were ready
