MERCHANT MARINE
WANTS E-YANKS

T@euty-hVe hundred jobs for eX-
service men were made available to-
day by the United States Shipping
Board, when il ordered its recruiting
service to accept at once that num-
Der of young Americans between
eighteen and thiTty-hve for training
as sailors. iremen and stewards in
the merchant marine.
Notices were mailed today to the
boards 5000 recruiting agents order
ing them in accepting men under the
call to give preference to eN-soldierS
and sailors.
As men accepted for merchant. ma
Tine training need not have had sea
going experience, the door was thus
opened TO ex-soIdieTs, from whom the
board has recently received many ap-
plications for employment on the new
merchant ships.
The boards call today was 10 fill
the places of apprentices now finish
ing their training for the merchant
marine and shipping out in the crews
Of new merchant ships, which are now
coming along in large numbers. On
the Great Lakes alone the shipping
board this month will provide crews
for not less than 100 new ships. which
will come down to the seaboard in
the opening of navigation.
Two thousand Of the 900 men
called today will be given intensive,
schooling on training ships based -
Boston and 500 on the Pacific coast.

Opposition to League
Aids G. O. p. Senators
To Iron Out Differences

The fact that the Senate Republi-
cans have to large extent been i'm
PEELED to unite in opposition to the
original form OF the covenant for the
League of Nations is serving to iron
out the differences among them over
organization.
Senate Republican leaders are no
longer alarmed over their ability 10
control the organization OF the upper
house. They. expect TO do il and TO
do il without difficulty. They look
for more harmony than usual to be
displayed at the Republican caucus.
The war on Senator Penrose for
chairman OF the Finance Committee
will not take on serious proportions,
according to the present outlook.
While there will still be some express
sion of opposition TO him, there will
be no jeOpardizing OF Republican
control by Senators Borah. Kenyon
and others opposed TO Penrose.
See PenrOse - chairman
This means that Senator Penrose
will be chairman of the Finance
Committee.
The prOEressives among the Repub-
peased by the adoption of the Norris
rule, which is calculated to bar "Old
Guard" Senators from control OF the
great committees. This will be ef-
fected by limiting the number OF
important committee assignments a
member may hold, in accordance with
The Washington times., 1919-04-06

the modified Norris plan, which has
been accepted.
AS a matter OF fact, both Old Guard
Republicans will be we'll taken care

Commerce. Senator Borah chairman
OF Education and Labor, and Senator
Jones chairman OF Commerce. Sena-
tor Hiram johnson will be chairman
OF the Suffrage Committee. and Sena-
tor Poindexter chairman OF Naval At

Foreign Relations Committee and be
chairman OF the Philippines.
Foreign Relations For Lodge.
Senator Lodge will head Foreign
Relations and probably Senator War
rem will head Appropriations unless
he chooses to take Military. In that
event, Senator Smoot will head Ap-
propriations.
Senator Smoot is a great student
OF the appropriations and of reve-
nues, and many of the Republicans
hope he will get this place. On the
other hand, they would also like 10
see Senator Wadsworth head the Mill
tary. II Senator Warren does not
head Appropriations, he will be
chairman of Military. The judiciary
Committee will be headed by Senator
Nelson. Senator Knox will be chair
man OF Rules, and Senator Page
chairman OF Agriculture.

RED CROSS SAVES
SERBIAN REFUGEES

Serbia has its full share OF the dis
tress. disease and famine that is nov
the common lot OF most OF the Euro
pean countries. Reports of the pitt
full plight of the thousands ol
Scrbians who have struggled back 10
their own country from Bulgaria in
the last few months have been re-
ceived at American Red Cross head
quarters from the Red Cross mission
which is now at Uskub.
Major d. J. Mccarthy, a physician
of Davenport. Iowa, is in charge OF
the Uskub mission. Two of his as
: sistants arc Major Robert c. Denni-
son. formerly pastor of the United
Congregational Church at New Ha-
ven, and Ma jor John w. rockingham
OF Brooklyn.
Only the most rugged among the
refugees managed to get back 10
Serbia. according to reports. Many
dropped by the wayside and died of
exhaustion and exposure. The Red
Cross mission on its arrival in Uskub
found a large number OF the homeless
people in an old Turkish inn, part OF
which had been given over to horses
and oxen. Family belongings were
found heaped on the floor with men.
women and children, all weakened
from sickness and lack of food, hud-

TlUus cases TO the nearest hospital
and then served liberal quantities of
milk 10 the women and children. the
first real nourishment many Of them
had had in weeks.
Dr. Mccarthy obtained a disinfect-
ing plant left behind by the Germans
and a bath house from the local au-
thOrtties. The refugees are first
given hot baths and later rubbed with
kerosene after which the Red Cross
give them fresh clothing.

also passed out TO them After

too far gone when relief reached
them, hundreds have been saved and
