Mannix Has Host
 of Syllpatflizers
Overwhelmed With Messages Fro m England, Scotland and Ireland.

London. Aug. 11-Archbishop Daniel J. Mannix of Melbourne, Australia, who arrived in London yesterday after hay ing been technically arrested on board the White Star liner Baltic and taken ashore at Penzance today was over whelmed with messages from sympa- thizers throughout England, Scotland and Ireland. These communications con tained, besides expressions of indigna- tion at his arrest by the governent, many invitations to address meetings, accord ing to statement by the prelate's sec retary, ather Vaughn, to the Associat- ed Press. Father Vaughn added that none of the messages were answered, as the archbishop is still without definite plans for the future,
 No one at the Nazareth House con vent, where Archbishop Maunix and Father Vaughn are, residing, would ids cuSs reports published in London that the archbishop will be seeking legal ad- vice to determine his chances in a suit against the government. Authorities on the subject, however, told the core pondent that from a purely legal view point it was believed that Archbishop ManniX could have little hope of win ming. The reason given for this opin- ion was that the government enoys wide powers under the defense of the realm act adopted during the war.
 Archbishop Mannix's habit of sudden ly leaving his quarters for short auto- mobile rides is furnishing much action to detectives detailed to observe his movements.

NEED FOR MODERN HOTELS
 AT MODERATE PRICES

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Demand for private rooms, with sunshine and hot and cold running water has supplanted that for dime flop among wayfaring working men, according to the observations of the Salvation Army.
 Lieutenant Colonel Emil Marcussen, head of the industrial department of the army for the states west of the Missssip- pi, said today:
 ''The day of the dormitory, or, more ac- curately, the flop house has passed. The kind of men who used to come to us, seekin gfree beds, or glad to get them for dime, now ask for private rooms. Since prohibition became effective, I have closed several of our workingmen's hotels, including one in Chicago and another in Kansas City.
 There is a real need for good, modern hotels for men at reasonable prices and those which we have are run along such lines. Our Workingmens Palace in Chi cago has 571 beds. Three years ago We would have found ten or twelve men in the Palace with bank accounts. Last month there were 312 men in that hotel who carried bank books.
 As for the industrial homes, they used to contain many young men who ceased to be producers and who had to be made over. sometimes by long andspainstaldHg process, into good citizens and wage earn CTS Today there is hardly an abIebodied man in any industrial home in the United States.
 ''The men who are there are nearly all permanently disabled to some degree or they are convalescents from hospitals who are unable to do an ordinary days work z hese men are not only able to take care of themselves but even to save a little from their earnings
 There is room in every industrial home. The Chicago home is not half full That is why the Salvation Army is able this year, through it's home service pro- gram, to extend an nffer of the facilities of these homes to every small community in the west"

FRENCH SCENARIO WRITER
 FINED FOR SHOPLIFTING

New York, Aug. 11.-Three justices in the court of special sessions today re- fused to accept the plea of Miss Gastain Lachangez, 21, a French scenario writer, that she practiced shoplifting merely for the purpose of gaining adnittance to some prison where she might get "at- mosphere" for picture plays. The jus tices branded her defense on the charge of stealing from a department store as rot and ridiculous"
 Justice Freschi, in imposing a fine of $50, which was paid to avoil ten day jail sentence, told Miss Lachangez that another woman had been before the court earlier and pleaded guilty to shoplifting.
 This woman told the court, the justice said, that she stole because she had seen another woman do the same thing and get away with it."
 Perhaps the example of your stealing encouraged this poor mother" said the court. T believe that women like you should be severely punished"
