ACKCLUE INDEATH
OF CAMP DIX GUARD

CAMP DIX. J., May 19.-Missing
six hours from his post as sentry at
the magazine storehOuses before his
body was discovered with a bullet
wound through theA heart. Private
Floyd NJ. Hill, Company !, Fifth In
fsntry. met death in a manner that
is a mystery to camp authorities. a
military board investigating the trag-
edy has been unable to decide whether
Hill committed suicide or was slain
while guarding Government property.
Hill was reported missing at mid
night Saturday. He had been sta
toned as one Of the guards at the
magazines in a lonely spot north OF
the Pemberton road on the outskirts
Of the camp a search made OF the
vicinity at the time produced no trace
OF the guard, and another soldier was
sent to the station. His body was dis
covered by the corporal OF the guard
about $50 yards from his post.
The sentry's own rife had been dis
charged. but whether in self-defense
OF not investigators have not deter
mined. Tending to discredit suicide Is
the direction OF the bullet through the
body and the fact that there were
neither powder stains nor burns on
the soldiers uniform A careful in
spection is being made OF the ground
and of foot tracks near where the
body was found.
Hills home was in Blacktown, Ark.
He was twenty-five years old.

TROOPS IN JUNGLE
LIKE MOVIE" KISS

The movie kiss has won new ad.
mirers on the edge OF the jungle
within sound Of the hyena's laughtef.
Nowhere is the love story of the
screen more popular than among the
SwaheIis of German East Africa
those dusky German soldiers who be-
came British troops after the con-
quest of the territory by General
SHUTS in December, 1917.
So says w. P. Stanley, a negro
worker sent to serve the native and
British soldiers in German East
Africa by the national war work
council of the Y. NJ c. A. in co-opera-
ton with the w. international COM
mittee. Mr.. Stanley. whose home is
in New York city. has just returned
the tropics.
5000 See Film At Once.
THE Y. NJ. c. A cinema theater,' -
Mr. Stanley said. in telling how the
movies were brought to the Swaheli
soldiers, was the old German market
place in Dares Salaam. We set up the
screen in the middle Of the hall. The
SwaheIis would crowd into the place,
and by watching the pictures from
both sides the screen fully 5000 could
be accommodated.
They delighted in the sentimental
pictures. the love stories, il the plot
was not too complicated. They would
chorus ordinations of pleasure when
the hero kissed the heroine. Their
other fayorite among the screen shows
was the fairy story film. which, be-
| cause of its simplicity, they could fol-
low easily.
"If at one Of these SwaheIi picture
shows you kept your eyes on the
screen you would believe yourself
back in America. Every picture was
an American film. Probably every one
had been shown on Broadway. But a
glance at the gelaming eyes in the
dark faces of the Swaheli men and the
sound OF a hyena laughing off in the
jungle, would call you back to a reali-
zation that you were in the ~ cinema
theater in Dares Salaam."
TOmmIes Hold Debates.
Often, Mr.. Stanley said, the laugh
Of the hyena would cut into the
cIamor OF heated debate. For the 7.
NJ. c. A. organized a debating society
among the British troops from the
West Indies, and the Tommies would
plunge into a melee of talk over some
such theme as:
Resolved, That money is more Is.
sentiaI to success than education"
Three Y. NJ. c. A. canteens were
maintained for the Swahelis alone,
and Mr.. Stanley learned the language,
in order to be able to supervise the
natives in charge OF them. The
tastes of these Africans. he said, were
quite unexotic. They relished sardines
and salmon, cakes. cheese and candy,
quite as much as the average Tommy
did

State Asks Prompt
Start on New Memorial
Bridge Over Railroad

Present plans are for the State
Board of Public Grounds and Build
ings to meet Tuesday to award the
contract for the new Memorial
Bridge. The official checking up of
the bids does not show any ma
terial change and an award to the
Central Construction Company, of
this city, is assured.
The State will ask very prompt
start on the bridge, and it is the be-
lief that the Central, with its good
organization, which handled biz
government work, will be in a po-
sition to go ahead very soon. The
first move will be to construct a
temporary bridge for pedestrians at
State street and the State street
bridge will be removed.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Off
cials are still considering plans in
relation to the bridge, but the State
Board is going ahead regardless of
any studies and will consider them
later on when the cost apportion-
ment comes up. The railroad COM
pany seeks to buy several strips
of land from the State.
Drilling for the test for founda-
ton for the new Capitol office build
ing started to-day in the park ex-

Reaplng Harvest
on lmportatlons

Washington. Sept. 26.-The right
of the employees to have some voice
in determining the conditions un-
der which they work is the para
mount issue in the strike of steel
workers, Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, told the Senate investigating
committee to-day. Appearing us the
second witness for labor, Mr.. Comp
crS was first asked by Chairman
Kenyon to define the issues in the
controversy.
The right to be heard is what
the steel workers are asking above
all else" Mr.. Gompers said. The
right to speak with their employers
through their own representatives
TO have some voice in determining
conditions under which they work.
Denied Rights
The right of workers to associa-
ton has been denied-denied with
all the power and influence, and
wealth of the steel corporation
denied by brutal and unwarrantable
means.
1T has been said that most of the
men taking part in this strike are
OF foreign birth and not naturalized
citizens. That may be and no doubt
is true. The largest proportion of
steel corporation employees are of
foreign birth, but these men were
brought here by the companies

complain.
Under the efforts of the steel
corporation the hours of labor were
always abnormally long. They never

changed from day to night they got
them working "a hours a day.
Met Opposition
o The right of association. the at

sternest opposition by the steel cor
pOration.
The appeals coming to us from
their employees were for help in or
ganizing. But most of the efforts
were slaughtered by the detectives
and the agencies in the company

fort in this country had been de-

mines, and mills. They have been
used as agent provocateurs to in

them to strike too soon"

employees by detectives, Gompers
