For the first time In six mouths military
routlno was abandoned todny white the
JOO city troopers, comprising the First
Squadron of the First Pennsylvania Cav
alry, Just home from the Mexican border,
enjoyed their first day at homo with friends
and relatives.
The troopers' armories were not occupied
long this morning. The men had tn report
for S o'clock rollcall, but not five minutes
after the "top" sergeants had shouted "dis
missed," was there a trooper In the build
ings. As soon ns they were released the
guardsmen went on with waiting friend
and relatives. Announcement was made
that the men will lino to report each morn
ing In uniform until the troops are mus
tered out'of the Federal service It Is not
expected that this will be accomplished
for a week or ten days.
When they arrived last night nt Twenty
ninth and Market streets the Second City
Troop, known ns Troop i), and Troops A
and O proceeded Immediately to tho now
cavalry and engineers' armory at Thlrty
Bccond street and Lancaster avenue. The
First City Troop went to Its armory on
Twenty-third street below Market. Thcro
was no olllclal greeting from tho munici
pal authorities. In accordance with tho re
quest of the troops, but there was a warm
welcome from friends and "others" who
braved the biting winds for hours until
the arrival of the train.
Members of the First City Troup have
the laugh on the "furlough squad" today.
Tho squad is doing all the unloading for the
troop, ueforc tho troop lert Kl I'aso sev
eral of the men obtained furloughs and
arrived homo two weeks ahead of their
fellows. When the question of unloading
came up. Captain J. Franklin MeFndden
thought It was only fair to assign tho men
who had seen their relatives and friends
to unload the cars.
Consequently, there Is a lone "gang"
working out In the freight yards nt Twenty
ninth and Market streets today. The detail,
under tho charge of .Sergeant Benjamin
Frazler, Includes "Ned" and "Hod" 1'age,
"Bob" McClean. Lincoln Godfrey. "Ned"
Law, "Jack" Oroome, Stockton Whltey and
"Nick" Uddle.
Members of tho troop gave Interest'ng
accounts of their polo victories on the
border. The team, representing the entire
First Pcnnsylvap' Cavalry, vanquished
several of the regulars' crack teams. In
cluding the Seventeenth Cavalry, the Free
booters and citizens' teams. They worked
hard on the p.inles assigned to them and
had them trained Into fairly good polo
stock at the time they left.
They were defeated In Mexico by a team
representing1 Pershing's column. One of
tho reasons was that their team was un
ablo to take its own mounts with It. but
the troopers. In a good sporting attitude,
declared that the regulars were better play
ers. Four members of tho troop became
attached to their horses and brought them
home after having bought them from the
Government.
Th"re were several cases of pink-eye In
the '-"'r troops, but the affection did not
reac any serious stage. Tho troops re
turned In excellent physical condition.
Every guardsman said ho was In the best
condition of his life.'
Two members of the First City Troop
were left In tho Kl Paso Hospital. They
were Ttobert Toland. suffering from Jaun
dice, and Keating Wilcox, suffering from
eye troupie.

started to work today despite her "sus
pension:" As she arrived at the office at Klghteenth
and Filbert streets this morning and an
nounced her Intention of remaining there
utftll the usual time to leave. J. Louis
Breltlnger. whose official head as chairman
of the board was chopped off by Governor
Brumbaugh, was answering Inquiries ns to
why he thought Mls Mooney had been
"suspended."
"I am not at all surprised." said Mr.
Breltlnger, "at the actions of Doctor Ober
holtzer. as his temperament, his lack of
knowledge of affairs and the ego with which
he surrounds himself unfit him for any
public office. It is true that he asked that
Miss Mooney. be discharged on tho ground
that she was Incompetent but he tnndo
the same assertions of almost every em
ploye, even though they bad been approved
by the Governor, with the exception of
several he himself had recommended. Of
those he recommended only one proved
efficient."
"There Is no nuthorlty In the remaining
members of the board," he continued, "to
appoint or discharge any employe. As to
the letter he was supposed to have writ
ten me, I would say that If he will state
that he haa no objection to its publication,
I will endeavor to find It. though It may
be In the flies of the office."
Miss Mooney herself sat complacently
at her desk In the office of the board and
read. Although she sild that friends of
Doctor Oberh itzer had apprised him of
her arrival and he saw her. he did not
speak to her as he left the office for lunch.

Predicts Strenuous
Spring Drive
FRANCE READY TO ACT
By M'LISS
A new spring drive on the part of tho
Allies, the largest yet attempted, with Kng
land supplying the men ; a short, sharp fin
ish of the war an a result of the drive,
and increased trndc stimulation between
France and the rutted States were pre
dicted this afternoon by one of tho lending
Journalists of the world.
Monsieur Stephano Lauzannc, editor of
Le Matin, the most widely read paper In
Prance,' with a circulation of 1. 750.000 dally,
came to Philadelphia for n few hours today.
He was met at Ilrnad Street .Station by Dr.
William C. Speakmnu, of Wilmington, who
has recently returned from Prance. They
were the guests of Cyrus II. IC. Curt hi nt
luncheon.
With -.ho Krenchmnn's typical agility to
leap from conversational crag to conversa
tional crag. Monsieur Lausanne, who had
made up his mind to give no Interviews on
this trip to America, discussed with gra
e'ouSness almost every topic suggested to
him.
"I find I am a newspaper man first." lie
said, whimsically, "and, therefore, It Is dim
cult to refuse a member of my profession.
"We will discuss Prance and the United
States and all that you have done for us
In this war, this wonderful work that Is
being done by the American hospital, tho
splendid service of the ambulances ah!"
the Frenchman gesticulated enthusiasti
cally. "Do you know." he asked, "according
to tho last report which was submitted
In October. 100.000 wounded Frenchmen
had been brought back from the front to
the hospitals by Americans?
"There is no man In France today who
resents the neutrality of the United States.
There is no man who expected your coun
try to go to war simply because France
was at war It Is a mistaken lniprosslon
that we resented this neutialltj. We think
HARRY THAW WORSE;
MOTHER STAYS AT SIDE
Accused Kidnapper, Who At
tempted Suicide, Suffers Re
lapse Friends Fear Death
Harry IC. Thaw'B condition has taken a
sudden change for tho worse. One of the
many callcra at St. Mary's Hospital said
It was feared he would not recover, and
his self-inflicted wounds would prove fatal.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, who expected to
leave for Pittsburgh tomorrow, linn decided
to prolong her stay here indefinitely becauso
of her son's condition.
For the first time since he has been In
the hospital, Thaw today failed to recog
nize detectives nt his bedside. It has been
his Invariable ruin to call them first thing
In the morning and greet each one Individ
ually with a pleasant "Hood morning."
Since early this morning Thaw has been
lying Hat on his back In a stupor. Mrs.
Thaw has become greatly alarmed. She
was expected to Issue a statement. In which,
It was said, she would ask tho publlo to
withhold judgment of Thaw until both sides
of the kidnapping case had been henid.
This statement will not bo Issued either
today or tonight, not In fact, until Thaw's
cundltlun improves. It was said.
Confirmation of Thaw'H relapse today was
made by F. K. Johnston, one of the Thaw
representatives in this city.
Mr. Johnston waH at Thaw's bedside for
a short while today. L'pon leaving he,
shook his head and appeared deeply con-
cerned. .....
"I am sorry to say, he told newspaper
men. "that Mr Thaw's condition Is not as
good as It way yesterday."
He refused to give any further Informa-
PatlenU with wounds similar to those of
Thaw's generally recover their strength
quickly und regaliuabout half an ouitco of

the stride toward recovery that were ex.

tion. "It will hot be so long now before

until licrmany Is beaten, crushed. She

"France has JB.OOO.OOO.OOO worth of gold
In the Hank of France," he said, reviewing
the economic situation. "There is nnotner

than the Imperial Hank of (leriiinny can
muster. This gives us the upper hand.
According to .Monsieur Lauzanne. tho
stocking that first national bank of tho
French proletariat has once more financed
th'e war. as It did In the Franco-lrus3lan
war. Twenty billion dollars, he said, had
come out of the stockings nnd the savings
banks.
TIIADI-3 WITH U. S.
The conference of tho Allies held in Paris
uist year to discuss the economic trade
program after tho war with a view to en
couraging trading between the Allies only
came to no definite conclusions, the French
editor declared. Tin French people had
never considered, he said, the possibility
of excluding this Country from Its buying
mid selling list.
"Trade between my country and yours,"
he said, "will tie increased and stimulated,
Just as tho feeling of good-fellowship has
been Increased and stimulated."
In discussing tho difference between
American and French Journalism, Monsieur
Lauzanne was emphatic in his approval of
tho Kve.vino Lnuann's stand In keeping
cr.me off the front page.
"In I.o Matin and other French papers,"
he said, "there has been no crime published
during tho war. After the war It will ho
merely summarized and relegated to tho
bark pages. We feel there are bigger
things, things more important and vital to
report than ugly murders and suicides."

having ynids euulppcd to construct first
class battleships wcro heard by the House
N'nval Affairs Committee today, following
arguments niado by Secretary of the N'uvy
Daniels that Hovernmcnt navy yards bo
equipped to build all four nf the big battle
cruisers authorized in the last naval bill.
H. H. Snyder, vice president of the
tlelhlcliem Steel Corporation, wns the first
repiesenlnllvr of the private shipbuilders!
In be heard by the committee. Ilo said the
four slilpynrds controlled by the corpora
tion nre willing to co-operate with the rlnv-
erninenl and do navy work at a less profit
than it could make on merchant worts.
.1. W. Powell, head of the Fore Illvcr Ship
building Company, said wnys in construct
nno of the big battle cruisers could lie built
nt their plant In Cjutncy, Mnss., within nine
months, h'ei retary Daniels testified yes
terday the first wny In the Philadelphia
jiirtl could not be finished under n, year and
throe months. .Mr. Powell said two ways tn
construct a pair of the big battle cruiser.)
would necessitate an expenditure nt $:i,fi00,
000. Mr. Powell testified Hint the Fore
1 tl vim- plant rnuliMnol construct one of tho
big battle cruisers in less than forty-eight
months.

Iteprcsentntlve llrittcn, of Illinois, n mem
ber of tbe committer, grilled Mr. Powell
on llio submarines constructed by the Fore
lilvcr corporation Tor the IJrtlisli (lovcrn
ment. "How many submarines did you build for
tho llrltlsh IJovernment?"
"Ten In the I'nitcd .States,"
"Did you build them In five months?'
"Approximately."
"How does It happen then Hint It takes
you thrco or four years to build a subma
rine! for the L' nl ted States?"
"Tho same result could bo obtained In
time of necessity here," Mr. Powell replied,
piled.
"Ono reason why It takes so long to
build for thin Covcrnment Is that we never
build two ships exactly alike. Tho slilp-i
wo built for (Jreat Ilrllnlii wcro all dupli
cates of ships wo had built fur tho United
States. Furthermore, wo wero not limited
on exponru or hours of labor. Thoso sub
marines cost approximately dnublo what
tho same ships cost tlio United States."
somu: nuiir in ca.vada
When the question 'of neutrality was
raised on the construction of submarines
for Urent Itrilaln In the fulled Slates,
whole sections of the Fore itlver plant wero
moved to Canada, Mr. Powell testified, lie
said the ten submarines built nt Fore Itlver
for Urent Ilrltnln nro still at their yard In
Qulncy, but ten others wcro built for Eng
land In Canada. None of the parts, ho
said, were made here, but tho steel for
them was rolled In American mills.
Mr. Powell testified that on tho equipment
which the Foro Itlver Corporation must
put In If it builds ono of the big battle
cruisers ho has figured a depreciation of
$300,000 because on account of the abnor
mal conditions duo lo tho war much of the
equipment now being Installed cannot be
