Liner La Touraine
Misses an Iceberg
By Only 500 Yards
Runs Past Sea Menace in
Fog Off the Grand Banks:
Brings $50 Military and
35l Civilian PASSENGERS

Officers on the French liner La
Touraine reported on arrival yesterday
from Havre that the vessel had passed
within 500 yards of an exceedingly
large iceberg Thursday. The Touraine
Grand Banks. Captain Bordeaux,
master of the Touraine, had run at
reduced speed for twenty hours be-
cause of thick weather. At noon Thurs
day the temperature dropped suddenly
and at 3 p. M, when the vessel ran into
clearing the big iceberg was observed
800 yards off the port bow. 1t had
two spires and the passengers thought
they had observed two bergs.
Among the Touraines passengers
was Owen Johnson, the writer, who
had been abroad nine months as an
unofficial observer in France.
He said it was difficult to predict
what would happen after the Germans
had signed the peace treaty. Promi-
nent Frenchmen with whom he talked
told him he said that within two
months after the signing of the treaty
the old German regime would again
be in the saddle.
The omnipresent and never-tiring
propaganda of the German Empire, he
said, was still doing business in France
and striving to sow the seeds Of dis
cord. The laboring classes of France,
he said, are in q listless and sort of
convalescent state and susceptible to
cleverly disguised propaganda.
The Touraine carried 45O military
and 351 civilian passengers. The troops
were in command of Lieutenant Colo
ned Charles A. Davis, of the regular
army. Major Roger Perkins, pro-
0f oft oLol n j
Cross forces in the Balkans, returned
after nearly years service. He said
he hoped prohibition would be victo-
rious in every detail, as liquor is a
menace to the country, and to prolong
its existence as a beverage would be
an insult to common sense.
Another traveller on the Touraine
was Sergeant Rene T. Verlagst, of this
city, an American by adoption, who was
born in Antwerp. He enlisted with the
radio service of the A. E. F., and, hav-
ing an excellent knowledge of German,
Intercepted much important informa-
tion Of the enemy.

War Cross Brings
No Job So Bill
Rejoins the Army
Jewell, Back From Argonne,
Goes to Mexican Border {:
Recruiting Record for
Day Believed B r o k e N

Bill YewelPs Croix de Guerre couldn't
get him a job in New York, so he
signed up yesterday at the recruiting
station ats461 Eighth Avenue for serv-
ice on the Mexican border. Bill won
his decoration in the Argonne with a
negro regiment.
"Ah'm goin' back where they appre-
ciate a medal" said Bill, as the medical
officer stretched tape 0ound his
chest. "Them army beans smell mighty
good to me right now. hTe grub amt
regular enough in this town."
Yesterday was record day for re-
cruiting, the officers in charge believe.
Although the official figures have not
yet been compiled, it is thought the
high marks set last week were eclipsed
on the first day of the second week of
the campaign to fill the ranks. In the
New York district 367 men were en-
listed in the week ending last Sat-r-
day.
They don't all enlist because they
can't get civilian jobs. Bernard Judel-
son was making $25 a week until
yesterday, but that didn't prevent him
from signing up as a buck private at
$50 a month.
II want to be radio operator" he
told the recruiting officer, who en-
listed him in the signal corps. "L have
been studying about it in my spare
time, but / never made much headway
because I couldn't neglect my work to
read technical books. l read in the
newspapers about the army schools, SO
l came here to get in. I'm only nine
teen years old, SO M come out of the
army still kid, plus an education and
a trade"
The first hundred men who enlist in
the motor transport corps will be
taken on transcontinental motor trip,
from New York or Washington to San
Francisco, it was anpounced yesterday
at the recruiting publicity bureau.
Plans for the tour have been completed
and the start will be made about July l..
Men who join the motor transport
corps and wish to mana the tour will
be sent to Fort Meigs, Washington,
D. c., for preliminary instruction.
More than 200 officers and men, in
cluding the recruits, will make the
trip. The convoy will include two
motor truck companies and several staff
officers, representating the engineer
corps, field artillery, medical corps
and air service. The organization will
maintain itself in the field, and will
sleep on the trucks or in the army
buildings on the road. AS far as pos
sible, the tourists will follow the Lin
coin highway. The main object Of the
trip is to test the strength of the army
motor truck under adverse conditions.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Up to June
the War Department had spent for
all purposes since the beginning Of the
war s14,544,610,213. It's total appro-
priations in the same period were s24,-
S17,624 ,371.S4. Of the total amount ex-
pended s1,s39, ,727,539 was transferred
to the A. E. F. for use abroad.
These are some OF the numerous sta
tistics that were submitted by Secre-
tary Baker in writing to the War Ex-
penditures Special Committee to-day at
its first open meeting. They were
transmitted through - General Lord,
chief of finance of the army in answer
manded of the Secretary by the COM
mittee. The information furnished will
serve as the foundation of the War De-
partment investigation that is to be
elaborately built with the aid of FIVE
subcommittee.
The largest disbursing medium was
that relating to quartermasters' sup
which accounted for $8,265, ,705, ,433.
Ordnance came next with s4,142,483;
aviation consumed $902,310, ,160; engi-
neers' corps spent $640,061,155 the
medical departm ent, 1928, $4,000; signal

List of Contracts Furnished
A complete list was furnished cover
ing all contracts Of more than 100000,
and the amounts of each contract will
be forthcoming within few days.
Other information explained War
Department organization and reorgani-
zation under the Overman act and cited
the Statutory authoriy for all the ex-
penditures.
Immediately after receiving this in
formation the committee adjourned
until tomorrow in order to make an
attempt at digesting it before proceed
ing with the examination of witnesses.
IT was. decided that persons called be-
lore the committee might be accom-
panied by counsel, but that the latter
may not examine witnesses or address
the committee without being granted
special permission to do so.
Publicity To Be Promoted
Owing to the vast extent of the
field to be covered, and the diffusion
'iof attention that may result from five
sup-commlttees simultaneously probing
the enormous mass of data, the COM
mittee has adopted the rather unusual
course. for legislative body, of es-
ta.b5lishlng a publicity agency, which
will prepare daily digests of the tes-
timony and facilitate in other ways
the work of the newspapermen. The
subcommittee probably will do
good deal of travelling in order to in
spect plants and take testimony in
different localities. The one specially
charged with investigating A. E. F.
expenditures may visit France and,
perhaps, other parts of Europe.

pears in the person of Fenwick Flint.
He wants to marry Mrs. James Gordon,
and is looking for some fair lady to
captivate her husband, thus providing
grounds for an easy divorce. At first,
when he offers Cynthia gold to do the
work, she thinks she can go through
with it. incidentally, however, she and
James Gordon really fall in love. So
she confesses the whole thing and
hands back the money, and goes off to
be stenographer. After while Cor
don, who meanwhile has been divorced,
finds her, and her troubles are at an
end. In this picture most of the rich
people are bad and all the poor people
are good. This reflects the spirit of the
times, as some deep thinkers would
have us believe. Still, we think the
