doing something extraordinary in
the way of commercial achievement,
are going to move an entire indus
try, the garment trade, employing
thousands of workers and millions
of capital and housed in hundreds
of buildings from one section of New

project, started several years ago,
and has just now assumed tangible
form.
Factories which have long despoil-
ed part of Americas most famous
shopping thoroughfape, scores OF
them, within a few months will have
packed up bag and baggage and
transferred their activity to another
area of Manhattan, west of Seventh
avenue from 30th to 39th street, to
establish the garment center of the
United States.
fifth avenue for years has borne
the reputation of being the city's
best residential street, the downtown
section being devoted to retail shops
of high and most diversified types
Into this region of imposing busI-
ness buildings and exclusive merch-
ants, as time went on, the cloak ana
suit manufacturers, made their way
Soon tho sewing machines bade fair
to eliminate the yardstick. Americas
promenade of elite trade and style
was being transformed into factory
district where noon and closing hour

ment Which Has Been
Brought to a Head
BY DMIRAL SIM

Washington, Dec. 27.-The reyis-
ed report on naval decorations made
by the Knight board after a survey
OF all the facts, will probably be ac-

Vened Monday, January 5, to revise
the recent recommendations as to
naval awards, which have been the
source of a controversy brought to a
head few days ago by declination
of Admiral Sims to accept the distin-
guished medal while the awards re-
mained as at present.
While approving in the main the
recommendations of the board of
awards" said Mr.. Daniels in his or
der to Rear Admiral A. M. knight
to reconvene the board, my exam
ination into the subject has convinc-
ed me that there are a number of
cases requiring further examination
and there have been additional rec
concentrations since your board ad-
journed which require examination
by board of officers
The order to reconvene the board
was made public late last night fol-
lowing receipt of reports from New
port, R. l., that Vice Admiral Hilery
P Jones and Capt. Raymond d. Has
brouck had followed Admiral Sims
in refusing to accept the medals be-
slowed on them, disagreeing with the
policy determining the officers to be
rewarded for services during the
war. Secretary Daniels, it was said
at the navy department., however,
the declination of Capt. Hasbrouck
or the reported declination of Ad-
miraI Jones.
In revising the list of distinguish
ed service medals and decorations
Secretary Daniels will follow in gen
| eral the same policy as in the origi-
nal list of awards. At the same time
the board will give consideration to
the views expressed by Admiral Sims
and other naval officers. Secretary
Daniels added that he hoped the new
| recommendations would be accepta-
| BILE to him and that he could make
the awards according to these with
out amendment

PRESSURE ON LEADERS TO
GET TREATY RATIFIED

Washington Dec. 27-Dissatisfied
with the progress made toward So
luton of the peace treaty tangle,
Senators of both political parties to-
day moved to bring greater pressure
On their party leaders for a compro-
mise to insure ratification promptly
On the reassembling of Congress in
January
The mild reservation group of Re
publicans notifying their party lead
er, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
that in them opinion the time had
to come to part company with the
irreconciliable foes of the treaty, de-
clared that unless compromise nego-
tiations or more who1e-hearted sup
port came from the Republican side
they were preparing to act indepen-
dentIy for an agreement with the
Democrats.
Among the Democrats, the move
ment was not SO well defined, but
criticism of the course OF President
Wilson and Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, the acting Democratic lead
er. reached proportions where some
predicted that it would be given IN
tangible form. One prominent Dem
ocratic Senator was said to have told
the Republicans that more than 81
of the At on that side would join a
movement to ratify the treaty at
once on the best terms they could
get.
The effect was a scrambled situa-
ton in both party organizations
which the leaders seemed confident
they could straighten out, but which
the compromise advocates predicted
would greatly strengthen the move
ment for bipartisan conference OF
those determined to ratify the peace
treaty at the expense of material
y concessions on both sides.

Republicans Rescind Their
Action Regarding Three of<1A
Largest in Country ~
AND RESTRICT orHENs


serelng In the army appropriation
plll OF the extra session of a proyi-
sion which halted real estate mr.
cnases at various army camps. the
republican House has just passed a
special measure in effect resembling
It's action regarding three of largest
camps in the country and directing
tnat these camps b ecompleted.
Meanwhile, because of the real es
tate rider on the regular army bud
get, hundreds of householders who
were compelled to give up their land
when the government took possess
sion OF the areas involved, have been
denied settlement of their contracts.
The validity of such contracts and
the value of the camp sites selected
by the war department now receives
belated recognition from the present
House of Representatives.
Action of the House directing the
completion of purchases at Camp
Benning, Georgia; Camp Bragg,
North Carolina and Camp Knox,
Kentucky, came only after investi-
eating committees had gone to these
camps. These committees were sent
out after the passage of the army
appropriation bill of the past ses-
sion and the fact that the investi-
eating committees reported in favor
of the retention of these three camp
sites, which had been subjected to
most of the criticism heard in Con-
gress, is vfndication of the judg-
ment fthe war department IN its
selection of the three sites and the
construction so far as it had pros
gressed.
1t is now planned to proceed with
the construction of the infantry
training school at Camp Benning,
near Columbus, Georgia.
Likewise the special appropriation
| bill provides funds for the compile
tion of a great artillery training CEN
ter at Camp Bragg, Fayetteville, N.
school at Camp Knox, Kentucky.
A recent statement from Republi-
can sources said that the Republican
House ''deplored" the action of the
war department in proceeding with
the construction of such camps af-
ter the armistice but it had been de-
cided that under the circumstances
it would be wise to proceed with the
expenditures, fulfilling existing con-
tracts and completing the camps
Aside from the political issue rails
ed by the Republicans of the House
it is significant that General John
Pershing recently made an inspection
of both Camp Bragg and Camp Ben
ming. He approved both projects as
entirely suited to the purposes OF
the army and strongly advocated the
completion of the artillery and in
Ifantry schools.
Of the several projects, Camp Ben
ming has been most vigorously as
sailed by critics of the war depart
ment. 1t was asserted that when the
war ended construction of this camp
had not progressed to point where
it was inadvisable for the war de-
lpartment to 'let CO." On the other
hand, friends of the infantry school
presented figures to show that the
government had entered into con-
tracts and condemnation proceed
ings which were made in good faith
with landowners, and that completed
the camp was not only an act OF
Justice but military necessity.

ERICKSON UP
FOR DAUGHTER
Father Examined by Board
Regarding His Girl Held
For Fake Alarms.

The father Of Ruth Erickson, who
is held by the police in connection
with numerous false fire alarms here
during the last few weeks. appeared
before the county insanity commits
sioners this afternoon t O answer ques-
tons regarding the early life of his
daughter, Ruth.
Miss Erickson was examined yes
terday by the insanity commissioners,
at which time she admitted she had
been in DR.. r. F. Fletcher's Office dur
ing the noon hour Of the mysterious
fire there. 1t is thought by the police
that Miss Erickson may have been
connected with the fire.
The girl was arrested Saturday
night shortly after another of a series
of fake fire alarms had been turned
in. The woman owning the house
from which the alarm was turned in
claims that Miss Erickson is the girl
who came to her home and asked to
report a fire Eel the telephone.
Miss Erickson, who has been en-
ployed at a local laundry for the last
year, first came into the limelight
when she caused officials considerable
worry in 1914 by a mania for cutting
down Tri-State telephone poles in
Falconer township and sending FREE

MERCHANTS MAY
MARK new TRAIL.
Branch of King Trail From
Climax to East Grand
Forks Proposed.

The proposal to mark a branch of
the King trail from Climax to East
Grand Forks was discussed at. the
meeting of the Merchants Credit as
ISOLATION Of Greater Grand Forks at
the Commercial club this noon.
This proposition has been discussed
by members of the association for the
last week or two but no definite ac-
ton has been taken in the matter
yet.
The King trail is one Of the best
marked highways in the northwest
and includes some beautiful strips of
road. The section Of the road nearest
East Grand Forks is marked from
Crookston to Climax and from Gil
max to Moorhead.
There are two good routes from
Climax to East Grand Forks that
would include splendid roads and fine
scenery and if the trail should be
marked from Climax to East Grand
Forks, motorists from the south to
East Grand Forks and Grand Forks
would be saved a considerable mile
age.
One route would be from Climax to
Fisher and from Fisher to East Grand
Forks, while the other would be direct
to East Grand Forks from Climax at
a still greater saving Of mileage over
a fine stretch of road.

routine matters was taken up at the
