RHENISH REPUBLIC
 NOTHING BUT JOKE
Is LAlzened Unto n Comic Opera By Statement From Third Ameri-
 Can Army.

Coblenz, June 3, (By Associated Press. )-Regarding the reports re- ceived here of the launching of the Rhenish republic, today's summary of intelligence issued by the American third army says:
 "The events of the last few days which have eliminated in definite attempt at Wiesbaden to proclaim a Rhineland republic, independent of Prussia but nevertheless part of the German federation might be regarded as in the nature of comic opera were it not for the fact that they involve the deliberations at Versailles to a certain extent, To the impartial ob- server the importance of the move ment consists chiefly in the opposition which has developed against it.
 One sees no hilarious greeting of this proffered freedom from Prusslan rule but one does see and hear much to the contrary. It would seem that if in the course of events the Rhine land is to become independent of Der lin it will require a set of German apostles better known than those who hitherto have been fathering the movement

IMMIGRATION LAWS
 CAUSE OF OUTRAGES
Secretary of American Federation of Labor Issues Statement on
 Bomb Explosions.

Washington, June 4.-Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor in statement on the bomb Outrages declared the country was req ping the result of it's immigration policy. '"The attempted destruction of life and property should cause calm reflection rather than hysteria on the part of every American" he said. "I can understand why the nihilist of Russia used bombs, but this method can have no place in American insti- tutiOns. And when it is used it is our patriotic duty to inquire why.
 For years the trade union move ment has urged the restriction of inn migration, but the workers were op- posed by steamship companies, the steel trust and other employers of la Dor who stimulated immigration at the rate of 100000 persons a year. Many of these immigrants were herd ed in large cities or other industrial centers. They were encouraged to use their own language and to perpetuate traditions of their mother country. At election time, in innumerable in stances, they were voted en block, and if they would organize a trade union. or suspend work to stop ex- ploitation, they were enjoined, clubbed and jailed. This is an old story in West Virginia, Colorado, Pennsylva- mia and elsewhere.
 What can Americanism mean to those people,? They do not even un- derstand our language. To them Americanism means a petty boss and low wages. They know nothing of cur theory of government. This country is now reaping the result of it's immigration policy--or lack of policy-during all thesr years.
 "BOmb throwing is always a chal- 1enge to organized society and should be met in that spirit. But the ques- ton must be traced back to it's root and treated accordingly. q American ism must be more than a shibboleth It must mean education, opportunity and social justice for all"

FRENCH'S PLANS
 WORRIED CABINET
Would Have Left Ally in Lurch, As quith Asserts, Answering ViS-
 counts Criticism,

London, June 4.-Herbert H. As qu1th, British premier at the outbreak of the war, replying in a speech to criticisms made by Niscount French, the first commander of the British forces in France, in his book concern ing the government in the early days of the war, said that, prior to the visit to France of Earl Kitchener, the intended movements of Lord French had filled the cabinet with conSterna- tion. The movements, the eX-premier added, would have had, in the judg- ment of the cabinet, the effect of leav- ing the French army in the lurch in the moment of supreme need This consternation, MT. Asquith declared, was shared by the French govern ment.
 In reply to the charge of Lord French that he was not supported by the government in the supply of mu- nitiOns, the eX-premier read d letter he received from Lord French at the time of the formation of the coalition government. In the letter. Lord French said: ''I am sure that in the whole history of the war no general in the field has ever been helped in a difficult task by the head of his gov ernment as I have been supported and strengthened by your unfailing sym pathy and encouragement
 la reply to the charge of Lord French that he was not supported by the government in the supply of muni- tions, the ex-premier read a letter he received from Lord French at the time of the ormation of the coalition government. In the letter. Lord French said: 'I am sure that in the whole history of the war no general in tre field has ever been helped in a diff ficult task by the head of his govern ment as I have been supported and strengthened by your unfailing sym pathy and encouragement
 MT. Asquith read a, passage from a report made by Lord Kitchener to him immediately after the formation of the coalition government in 1915, in which Kitchener said: "I talked to- day with Gen. French, who authorized me to tell you that the present supply of ammunition will be as much as his troops will be able to use over the next forward movements"
 Mr. Asouith added that after the in troduction of high explosive shells Lord French on Nov. asked for 50 per cent shrapnel and 50 per cent. high explosive, but a week later te1e- graphed that the proportion of high exlosive should be o5, not 50 per cent. Mir Asquith declared that the retire ment of Lord French as the British commander in France had nothing whatever to do with the supply of shells.

BOSTON WILL BE
 BIG NAVAL BASE
Announcement of Governments Plan Made by Chairman Cole of State
 Waterways Commission.

Boston, June 4.-1nforuation that the United States Navy is going to construct a big naval base on the South Boston waterfront, between tho fish pier and dry dock, was given out by Chairman John N. Cole, of the Massachusetts waterways commission, speaking before the joint judiciary committee OH Governor Coolidges message recommending legislation to cede jurisdiction over approximately 30 acres of state-owncd land to the national government.
 Negotiations have been pending for some time between the Navy de- partm ent and the waterways commits sion regarding the sale of this land" Chairman Cole said, 'and a satisfao- tory agreement has been reached The United States governme ent is go- ing to pay us $1061, ,000 for 4,396,48O square feet most of which is under water now. Great piers and docks will be built on this land by the gov ernment.
 'The United States government has not made public it's plans for the land which is being purchased from the state, but I know that there is going to be a tremendous development there which will be of vast importance to Boston harbor. It will be used as a supplementary naval base to the Char1estown Navy Yard and the Vic tory plant at Squantum. The con- struction which will take place there on that land, now unused, will mark another very important step in up- building our port"

TRAINING FOR
 GARMENT MAKERS
Government Prepares Special Courses Under Direction of Experts Who
 Understand Business

Washington, June 4.-Specitic rec concentrations by which the garment making industries of this country can be put on a more profita ble basis are contained in four pamphlets being prepared by the United States Train ing Service of the Department of Labor Experts employed by this service have been making an inten- siVe study of the metho ods followed in these industries and have practically completed outlined courses for use in training old and new employees in four different lines namely, making mems suits and overcOats, making womens S cloaks, suits and skirts, making over alls and making shirts.
 Garment manufacturers in this country are very much in need of helpful material of this sort because the war has deprived them of labor from Europe. Without some help, it is difficult to see how they can main tain the prominence they have en- joyed. Aside from cutters, most of the workers in garment factories have had their initial training in Europe. Where training has been introduced it has been a great help in standardizing
 
 a practical means by which employees can better themselves. It has also overcome the shortage of labor.
 The need for standardization is shown by the contract to be found in two mems clothing factories studied by the Training Service representa- lives In one, all but two of the scores of operations were done by machinery. In the other factory there were three hand operations to each machine op- eration. And yet both plants turn out similar products. The pamphlets cov- ering the four branches of the gar ment industry will be ready for dis tribution the last of this month. They are designed as a practical guide in establishing training departm ents, in dicating in detail the steps to be taken in teaching each of many operations required to complete a garment.
