Washington, April 18.-Germany'S

tragic effect which has gone unno-

It has wrecked one Of the most

Redcaps at the Pennsylvania Station
in New York City no longer will get tips
ranging in size all the way from a dime
to dollar or perhaps more if the traveller
is in particularly generous mood. The
porters who tote your bags to and from
the trains are to be put on uniform
pay-basis. They will receive ten-cents
per bag from the patron, which must be
turned in at the end of a certain working
period For their services in the railroad
terminal they will be paid 3Ocents per
hour. The change is caused by the fed
eral wage and hour law and it is expected
that every large railroad terminal will
fall into line. Grand Central Station in
New York is next, according to latest
advices from the big city. Tips and wages
have long produced controversy between
employers and employees. Perhaps once
established among porters the minimum
tip will extend to restaurants and hotels.

Down in Bridgeport plant-a-tree
movement has been started by several
city officials Coming right after the
official Arbor Day proclamation of Cover
nor Raymond E. Baldwin the idea ought
to catch public fancy. And certainly it
should interest many property owners in
Fairfield County where the March hail
storm did so much damage to trees and
shrubbery. All the pruning in the world
probably won't replace much OF the valu-
able foliage that was ruined this spring.
Not only Fairfield County should have
plant-a-tree movement, every county in
the state could join such a campaign.

HUGE ARMY IS DEMAND OF SECRETARY KNOX

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19-Sec- retary o1 Navy Knox today de- clared that the United States, lacking two ocean navy fleets, needs a huge army" and urged that one be created by conscrip- tion.
 Should England be defeated by Germany" said Knox, we will be left without a friend in the world"
 The Secretary of Navy express ed the opinion that England might be defeated by Germany within the next sixty days.
 Secretary Knox, in his appeal for a huge army, asserted that this nation faces a very grave crisis and none in this country can tell the trend of the battle for Britain because information of the belligerents comes thru officially controlled communiques.

A UNITED FRONT

That's the way talk ran around here before the assemblage of the delegates of the21 American na- tions at Havana. Secretary Hull arrived on the scene and went to work.
 One of the men who was at the conference said: 'No man work ed harder than he. No man was more patient, more tolerant, more deeply solicitious of the wishes and views and attitudes of the other delegations and be it said also that no man enjoyed more esteem"
 Those are attributes of states manShip and with those attribut- es Hull nodded the conference into a united front.
 True it is that Argentina is a litle cool to the whole business and it's Congress may not ratify that Act of Havana," but that does not keep official Washington from shoWering Hull with such phrases as "the croWning achieve ment of your long and illustrious career"

against it because t would shoot holes in their campaign conten- tion that the President is leading us into war. The Democrats would be against t because they are taking all the responsibility for cur foreign policy and will continue to do so through those vital days ahead luntil next Jan uary at least, even if the election goes against them) and that there should be no question of sharing the credit, if any.
 In other words, if the political observers are right, you can look for no further coalition or unit ed front from either of the par ties until after November, if then.
 With all the billions being spent by the government here now, there's scarcely a depart ment that isn't sweating over ec onomics. At the insistence of the President and the Budget Direct or, they are cutting from S250,- 100000 to $4OO,OOO,O0o off current expenses. Whats worrying the rank and file of Government workers is whether salary cuts will get into the economy drive too. The President says not if he can help it.

SECRETARY OF STATE HULL MAKES RECORD GOVT. EXPENSES CUT
By Jack Stinnett

WASHINGTON Capital talk:
 In recent weeks, no man has so covered himself with what pass es for success in diplomacy as Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
 When the conference was call ed, the capital was full of skepti- cism. These Pan-American confer ences always had been sessions of sound and fury signifying mo- thing much and this, everyone said, was going to be just an- other one. The economic situa- tion was too full of antagonistic selfish interests. As for the Mon roe Doctrine, that always had been the United States own baby.
