war. Turks whose dogs were taken
away from them and dumped on an
island in the Marmora sea to starve

Judgment from Mahomet. Those who
prophesied at the time that the whole

bad luck to Turkey are now waggine
their heads eagerly and recalling their
prophecies.

|ORDER ACT IN
| US. CONGRESS
Oficials to Confer on Plans
for Work Until Congress
Gives Funds

NEWARK, July S.-One branch of
Uncle Sans administration that is
feeling very much like a step
child is the federal employment SER
vice. When word came at the closing
of the last session of congress tina the
appropriation for the service was lost
in the general filibuster, information
at Observation-Disclosures employ
ment bureau at oil Franklin street
here was to the effect that the bureau
could continue for a while on its
funds. Then came an order for alb
rupt discontinuance of the service,
bringing dismay. Next came a new
telegram, declaring that the service
could &c on. Now an order has been
received from John B. Densmore, di-
rector general of the service, which
will cut down the federal employees
of the service in New Jersey from
forty to eleven.
Instead of $2,O0G,000 asked for the
continuance of the work, 100000
was allowed finally by congress-. The
allotment for New Jersey is $1,000 a
month, a sum declared to be entirely
inadequate for the maintenance of all
the offices in the state. A conference
is to be held today by Commits
sioner of Labor Lewis T. Bryant, as
federal director of employment for
New Jersey, with officials of the SER
vice here, to frame an appeal to COM
munities throughout the state to come
to the rescue with material assist
ance.
In a statement by Director Dens-
more, received at the local office, it
is declared that, with the continued
aid of the states, municipalities, well
fare organizations and other private
bodies, the federal employment SER
vice should be able to operate at
nearly its former scale for a period
Of five months"
Hope For Bigger Funds.
SIN appropriating $500, 900 for the
continuation of the United States en-
ployment SERVICE" declared the state
ment, sit is understood that it was the
intention of congress to bridge over
the gap until action can be taken on
the bills providing for a permanent
service which are now being consider
ed in joint session by the house and
senate committees. Action by o n
gress on the question of a permanent
service can reasonably be expected by
December /. 1t is therefore planned
to utilize most of this appropriation
within that period. On this basis the
work for returning soldiers can go on
undated until rehabilitation is over
and a considerable part of the work
for civilians may be continued pro-
vided the assistance from outside
sources Is not cut Off"
How many of the offices will be con-
tinued in New Jersey in cooperation
with the state authorities it is de-
clared has as yet not been decided,
This is the case in New York, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania and a number
of other states.

master general hat British censor-
ship of American mails was being

fish censorship been employed to help
British firms at the expense of their

AppeaIed---othe Police
Gases

Sophie Butchko, of ABS Smith street.
refused to plead to a complaint made
in Police Court this morning before
Acting Recorder Delaney charging her
with having interfered with employees

complaint of Roundsman Calvin who
declared thai he saw her throw a stone
at a group of employees as they were
leaving the factory last night. On
cross examination Senator Brown de-
clared that the striking employe was
not guilty of interference and con-
tended that the officer could not show
that the stone actually hit any one
of the girls.
AS first drawn the -complaint charg-
ed Mrs. Butchko with using abusive
language toward the employees. It was
later amended to include the charge
of interference. 1t was because of
the addition to the original complaint
that had been sworn to of an addi-
tional separate charge that the senator
advised his client not to plead.

place admitted to Acting Recorder De-
laney when arraigned on a charge of
wife beating, that he had beat his wife

grand jury.

PARIS, June 16.-Lens, the mos
thoroughly devastated town of the war
is showing signs of revival. When the
Associated Press correspondent visit
ed this erstwhile busy coal mining CEN

as though a set of giant sledgehammer

To the west of it lies the grim battle
field of Loos, which has the curious
appearance of a petrified sea. The
soil has been plowed up in an extraor-
binary manner by thousands of poison
Gus gas bombs, which have tinged the
sparse vegetation an unhealthy gray.

Poppies.

A characteristic of the corn poppy,
beside its brilliant scarlet coloring, is
the large size of its two outer petals,
which hide the lesser pair until the
bower has opened. Poppies of Flan-
ders, be they corn peoples or other
varieties, are not of the oriental spe-
cies from which opium is derived. The
corn poppy, when cultivated, is known
as the Shirley poppy. The flower is
perennial or annual, according to the
variety.

The modern banjo was introduced
Into England from the United States,
to which country it was probably
taken by the African slaves, who
originally obtained the idea from In

seems to have been derived from
"banya," the name of a Senegambian
instrument of the guitar species.
