Cunard announces Plan
For UItra-Luer1ry Ships

FLOATING palaces which will sur
Il pass anything the world has
ever seen in point of luxury and
magnitude probably will ply the
Atlantic in the future, according to
dispatch from Sir Alfred Booth,
chairman Of the Cunard Line. The
announcement, which was given out
by the company yesterday, said:
"The Cunard Line Intends to take
the place of the German lines in
providing a regular service of pas
senger steamers of the highest class
between Southampton, Cherbourg and
New York" 1t mentions that the
Aquitania and the Mauritania event
ually will be used to SOUTHAMPTON,
while the Liverpool York service
will be equipped with steamers of
greater carrying power"
When the Aquitania and similar
ships were built they we're termed
the last word in transatlantic liners.
steamers of greater carrying power"
probably indicates that the 1,O00-foot
ship, and even larger, will soon
steam up New York harbor, floating
rivals of the sumptuous hotels that
have lately risen in Manhattan.

Episcopal Church
To Help Soldiers
Get Employment

Substantial aid will be given the re-
turning soldier in finding his place in
the industrial world, in the church
and in his own home, if plans worked
out by the Joint Commission on Social
Service of the Protestant Episcopal
Church are carried into execution.
In booklet just issued by that or
ganization the menace of continued
unemployment, alienation from the
church ard even a new position in his
own home are pointed out as serious
not only to the returning soldier but
to the nation as a whole Figures con-
tanned in the booklet show that 100000
men were listed as the "labor surplus"
of the nation on February 8, with 3OO.-
zoo men returning from overseas each
month.
Besides obtaining employment for
the returning soldier, the commission
expects the Church to aid him in re
adjusting him to all the conditions he
must face in the transition from mill
tary to peace-time service.
Reconstruction has in some quar-
tiers been taken as synonymous with
~>~>~J No>AAASi'e3 - INV pl tHdC-
as a question largely of refitting the
home coming man as expeditiously as
possible into his former normal envir-
onment-family, community, church."
is the definition of the commissions
purposes as set forth in the booklet.
Attention is called to the fact that
in many cases the home the soldier left
has been broken up or entirely reor-
ganized in order to permit his wife to
become wage-earner. In many cases
the independence thus acquired by the
woman wage-earner, it is argued, will
be hard to relinquish. For that reason
it is expected to offer the aid of the
Church in readjusting home life, wher-
ever outside assistance may be required
for such readjustment.
AS for the liberties found by 4he sol
der overseas it has this to say:
"Thet many Of our younger mon,
freed from home restraints, have
found what they consider greater per-
sonal liberty in military life, with it's
well-known temptations, and conse-
quently will return home changed, not
inevitably or invariably for the better.
is a consideration to be reckoned with"

AT LEADING NEW YORK RESTAURANTS
Prince George Hotel

Lovers of Boston baked beans,
New England mince pie and other
dishes for which the northeast cor
ner of our country is justly ia
nous, will welcome the new dining
room recently opened by Mr..
George II. Newton, manager of the
Prince George Hotel.
From the colonial sign at the
entrance on Madison Avenue to the
old prints and models of famous
ships with which the room is deco
rated, the atmosphere is typically
colonial, and Manager Newton
promises that the food which comes
from his kitchens will do credit to
the reputation which New England
holds for good things to eat. The
old pictures on the walls have a
real historic interest, and depict
quantity and graphically the by
gone days in many New England
towns and other cities throughout
the United States.
Mr.. Newton is unusually we'll
fitted to transplant to a me tropoli
tan hotal bit of the real New
England His long experience as
manager of the Parker House. one
of Boston's famous hotels, has
given him a frst-hand acquaint-
ance with all that is typically New
England.

Martinique

A novel method in the form of a
voting contest has been inaugurated
by Gus Edwards in his "Springtime
Version of Attaboy" at the Hotel
Martinique to discover which are
the most popular principals and
chorus girls in the new revue that
in two weeks has become the talk
of Broadway. Originality and pro-
gressiveness being Producer Ed
wards's watchwords, he has decided
that the winners in this original
stunt in the cabaret field will not
go unrewarded. Therefore the for
tunate chorus girl will be elevated
from the ranks to principals role
and distinction at the close of the
contest, while the winning princi-
pal will receive substantial in
crease in salary.
The balloting takes place during
every performance, each girl in
the company passing out post cards
with her photo and vote thereon
to the various guests in the room
during the rendition Of an original
"letter carrierette" number.

Inquiry Here Shows
Naval Officers Won
ssBets'' From Sailors

A remarkable run of betting luck
among influential naval officers was one
of the interesting subjects taken up
yesterday in the graft and bribery in
vcstigation being carried on in the
Third New York Naval District.
1t came to the knowledge of Major
John F. Muir, Secretary Daniels's spe-
cial investigator here. that wagers be-
tween enlisted men and their superiors
took strange forms. But the results
were not unusual.
When condition arose where an of
ficer could transfer several men to a
desirable station the word was passed
that the "gold-stripe" was in a bet
ting mood. This was the cue for any
enlisted man who was interested to
approach him.
81 bet you I don't get a transfer
the enlisted man would say, naming
the amount he would be willing to stake
If the sum was high enough-and it is
the officer would close the deal
He would place money on his opinion
that the "gob" would be shifted. He
was invariably right. The laws of
chance appeared to have ceased work
ing, and in every case he pocketed the
money. The regular navy, as we'll as
the reserve force, was said to have felt
a sudden influx Of sporting life Pro-
motions and discharges, as we'll as trans
fers, were subjects of betting.
Three men who welded considerable
political influence in Brooklyn were re-
ported yesterday to be involved in the
traffic in eflistments, promotions and
discharges. One is said to be a yeoman
at the Bensonhurst Naval Training
Base, the other two in civilian life.
One of the civilians, said to have the
most power, is a Tammany leader and a
Congressman. 1t is known that a note
from him was the sure means of get
ting a job at a fat salary in the Brook
Ign Navy Yard.
Through a political lieutenant he got
in touch with young men who feared
they would be caught by the draft The
meetings took place in upper Manhat-
tan, far from the club which was the
leaders, usual haunt. The slackers were
fixed up" and, for consideration
were enabled to stay safely on dry
land, although they wore navy blue.

Reisenweber's

The New Edition Revue of 1919
in the main dining room at Refs
enwebcr's, Fifty-eighth Street and
Columbus Circle, is a departure in
revue production and may be
classed in the category of must
cal comedy. The costumes, the
lighting effects and the music were
unusual. Earl Lindsay was re-
sponsible for the staging and Louis
Silvers for the music. Midgie Mil
Ter, the soubrette, in new role
was as bewi.ching as ever, and her
grace asserted itself even more
than at her previous appearance at
eisenweber's. Leon Fastovsky,
the tenor, was we'll received. Lo-
retta Rhodes, the prima donna, was
daintiness itself personifed and
Margaret SEVERN introduced re
markable novel dances and the
GRANGE Sisters, who made their
first appearance on Broadway,
were the cause of much praise.
