Is the opinion of the boaid that many
of the shlp.vard emplojes are "nothing
but slackers."'
Outlining of the plan followed n con
ference betweer a committee represent
ing shipbuilding companies along the
Delaware niver and Oeneral Crowder.
Mr. Drcnnen was chairman of tho com

of New York.
fthlpwnrkera llsem,)!
I'nder the present draft laws, a ship
yard worker Is given deferred classifi
cation by the appellate draff board at
the request of the Navy Department. H
Is then permitted to work In the ship
yards at h big salary, meanv.hlle being
considered In the Government scivlco
like n soldier
The aluzed "unfairness" of this plan
prompted the anonymous letter sent
by "Ls Mothers" to General Crowder,
according to tin writer
The letter tefers to one shipyard
worker, of draft age and without de
pendents, "who never did work on ships
until lately." and who is "walking tha
slrei-ts and working down at the Navy
Ynrd making big money and cnjojlng
himself."
"Is that fair'."' the letter asks.
Kaemptlon Canceled on Leaving
Exemption granted n worker will he
canceled limned jately upon his It nvlng
tlie employ of th'e shipyard, and all em
ployment managers will be compelled to
repoit cases of men leaving.
The Delaware Itlver dlstrltt repie
sentative will open offices In this city
June 1.
The country will be divided Into sev
eral districts, and each dl-tilct will
have one man to settle exemption dis
putes. Heretofore It has been the custom
ot employment managers' of each ship
yard to consult the officials at Wash
Ington when exemption vvas sought for
an emploe, and the Washington au
I thorltles would ln turn recommend to tho
I local boaid that the worker In tiucstloit
be given deferred classification.
! PHILADELPHIA TO FORE
for the soldiers and for the women who
1 are engaged In the work of the war.
If a church vveie designated In every
section of the city, regardless of denomi
nation, where such a service of prayer
might be held, the custom would soon
spread to other cities.
Holy Trinity Church was selected) for
the first service because of Its nearness
to the offices of women's war work or-
j ganl7atlons Other churches will be util
ized later under the plans now being
advanced.

Germany can afford to be beaten in the
west If she can realize her eastern am
bition. "Her dream of a Herlln-to-Bagdad
railroad now Is menaced by the British
drive In Mesopotamia, but she has an.
other drem a more vivid one of a
Berlln-to-Bombay roadway. This ha
been mde possible by the victory over
the Russians and the land ceded to Tur.
key by Russia.
"But till can be prevented. Armenia
can be set up a an Independent king

that cn bo done."
