KEY TO FREIGHT JAM
PS Government ownership of llin four
A large Inland waterways alone the At-
Xi lantlc seaboard was urged today by
secretary Redneld, or the Department
of Commerce. He suggests also neces
sary Improvements, to link up a practical
navigation routo from IS'evv England to
southern points and railway terminals
that would safeguard shipping from the
menace of U-boats and provide for the
release of thousands of tons of freight
held In the. Industrial districts of this
cltv, Boston, Now York and Norfolk.
- Such a plan would take In Cape Cod
canal, the Delaware and Rarltah canal,
the Chesapeake and Delaware canal and
the Albemarle and Chesapeako canal.
Authorization for purchase of the Cape
Cod watprway has already been made
by Congress, the Secretary said, and the
discussion has developed regarding the
purchase of the Delaware and Rarltan
and the Chesapeake and Delaware
canals. The Albemarle and Chesapeake
canal Is Government-owned now. Neces
sary development and dredging would
produce one of tho finest continuous
waterways in the country, the Secretary
pointed out. v

handled entirely along this route,
Secretary Itcdfleld said, and consider
able of tho commerce In supplies for

port, qould be moved over this route.
It would mean a protected, easily
nalgable artery all tho way from

pointed out, connecting In the South
with railways to all points and to the
coastal ports beyond the Carollnas.

EMPLOYERS SEEK
RELEASEtfCONVICTS
Warden McKenty, Eastern
Penitentiary, Receives "Scores
of Applications for Men
Warden Bobert McKenty, of the East
ern Penitentiary, has as many as twenty
applications a day for men released
from prison. Applications come from
every branch of Industry. Employers
are eager for these men, and are willing
to take them without question of past
or future.
When tho warden's attention was
called to Lieutenant Governor McClaln'a
action In refusing to sanction a pardon
f to a man under sentence for burglary
that the man might enlist In the United
States army, and to Mr. McClatn's state
ment that the army should not receive
com lets, Mr. McKenty declined to com
ment, saying It would not be appropriate
for him to express an opinion about a
procedure the reason for which ho was
unacquainted with.
"The lieutenant Governor," he said,
"Is one of four members of the Board
of Pardons. His decision In regard to
tho applicant may not have been an
individual one, but rather the conclusion
of the entire board, each of whom is, of
course, entitled to his opinion.
"It Is my own belief that any man
h entitled to another chance after
making mistake. If he gets this bther
chance In the Industrial world he shoud
sureiy no privileged to otter nis lire in
fighting for his country.
"Opportunities for the released con
lct are many. I have known many to
leave these walls and become a suc
cess. They not necessarily contami
nate the people with whom they are
surrounded and they do not. I have
found positions for many convicts. It
Is not a difficult matter to do. Tho world
In not In the least ready to push a man
back Into a life of crime. There has
never been a time when I couldn't find
men ready to employ a former con
vict." McKepty declared employers were
eager to get released men to work for
them. They not .only are willing to
take them, but they come to the peni
tentiary and Insist upon being permitted
to employ them, "and no questions
asked."
Warden McKenty has openly favored
permitting former convicts to serve In
the army,

BELGIUM "BLED TO DEATH,"
SAYS MINISTER CARTIER
a
Suffering and Privation in War-Torn Nation Grow Constantly
Worse, Diplomat Declares Praises Help
From America,
SUFFERING and privation In Bel
glum grow constantly worse, ac
cording to Edmond de Cartler, Belgian
minister at Washington, who Is In Phila
delphia today en route to Washington
from Atlantic City, where he addressed
the New York State Bankers' Associa
tion last night.
But the great heart of America Is
still directing the generous hands other
people and Mr. de Cartler Bays, there has
been no diminution of lavish giving
since America herself entered the war.
"In generosity toward my country,"
said Mr. de Cartler, "Philadelphia, Bos
ton, Baltimore arid SanFrancisco lead
all the rest of the nation ; though In
every quarter our need seems to have
the sympathy of the whole great Amer
ican people.
"In Phl.adelphla there Is a marvelous
spirit of hclpfulnesu. The, Belgian Re
lief branch of the Emergency Aid has a
splendid chairman In Mrs. Bayard
Henry, who Is a veritable tower of
strength to us."
When America entered the war, Mr.
de Cartler said, he felt that the nail In
Germany's cofftln had Ueen driven In,
"Ultimate success for our cauoe be
came doubly usre, he declared. "But I
have never doubted that the Allies will
win eventually. Wars are never lost
by those who fight for a great principle
of Christianity or of humanity. To be
Ileve that we might fall would be to
believe thai civilization, Christianity, re
Uon are all a mistake. It can never
happen. T

much that Is for the glory and the
happiness of the world."
A newspaper carrying a yeport that
Suzanne SUvercruys had been arrested
as a spy In Buffalo, had been sent to
the minister. Branding tho story as
German propaganda he said,
"This is not the first time auch talcs
have been spread about Miss Silver
cruvs. They have frequently followed
her. appearance on a platform. In a
way they are to her credit, for such
rumors .mean that her work Is so excellent-
and her nfluence and inspiration
so marked as to be worthy of fear and
fighting on the part of the enemy.
"Instead of there being the smallest
shadow of excuse for this report. Miss
SUvercruys Is one of the ablest and most
remarkable forces claimed by Belgium'
today as her own,
"Belgium Is practically eaten out,
now," was his description of conditions
In his devastated land. "There is now
no reserve supply of food. The cows
have been killed and so milk and but

Increased' the Infant mortality, and also
the sickness among children. The birth
rate has decreased and the death rate
of the whole nation has increased. No
means of transportation are permitted
by Germany and there are few workers
for the field, so the supply of food Is
almost- nothing. It Is a dreadful con
dition," he rummed up; "the whole na
tion Is practically bled to death."
Mr, tie Cartler has had a most inter

work since ho was twenty-one.- He will

They
were perfectly goon and the answers

to fuss with the public's teeth.
But they were not the questions the
State Board asked.
So the students had to go ahead and
do the best they could with questions
they had never seen before.

TO BUILD BIGGER
SHIPS OF WOOD
Vessels of 5000 Tons to Be
Constructed in Large
Numbers
NEW MODEL APPROVED
Wooden ships of the 600-ton type, the
Jatgest ever built are to be constructed
In large numbers by the Emergency"
Fleet Corporation, It was announced this
afternoon.
The new model had been standardized
nnd approved by the American Bureau"
of Shipping nnd by Lloyds. The design,
originally donated to the corporation by
A A. Daughcrty, president of the Na
tional Shipbuilding Company, Orange,
Tex., has been perfected by L N. Prior,
naal architect.
It Is said to be an adaptation from a
4T0fl.lon ship, and will supersede the
3S00-ton vessels, the construction of
which was begun by the fleet corpora
te some time ago A model of the new
design is now under construction at the
corporation's oftlces here and will be
completed within a short time.
Meantime, the fleet corporation Is con
tinuing to let contracts for the construc
tion of the Ferris or 3600-ton vessels In
order to keep the wood ship yards busy.
Difficulty In obtaining material for
the Ferris type of vessel was one of the
reasons for the adoption of the laruer
tjpe. the like of which Is without prece
dent in the history of shipbuilding.
Experts among na.al architects and
shipbuilders were called Into consulta
tion by Charles M. Schwab, director
general of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, in an effort to get the bene
fit of the best talent.
Many pioblems met with In building
the Ferris type of ship have been over
come in the design of the 5000-ton
wooden ship, Mr. Prior said today. Tho
machinery for the Ferris type, however.
Is to he utilized in the new ships, and
many of tho details and fittings on the
former will be employed on the larger
design to facilitate construction
Most of the wooden ships under con
struction and contemplated will be used
In the coastwise trade, and to get the
maximum of carrying capacity It Is
proposed to so construct the new essels
that they will be able to tow bantes.
in this connection. It was announced
that plans are being perfected for the
construction of 2500-ton towing barges.

A solrfler'a life is a carefree life,
With nothing at all to worry '
But a little wee blf of nafwral atrlfe
And a little wee bit of hurry.
Each day sees Us meed of work and of

And so at the end of a perfect day.
He has nothing to do till tomorrow.
Oh, the joy thai he has when on beans

Is with joy for rice pudding blended.
Ah, me, tinnf a restful life he leads!
As shown by the list appended.
Xothing to do but to work away;
And some hay from the horse to bor

M. William Goodman Is with Battery
D, 320th F. A., Eighty-second Division,
and Is enjoying himself "somewhere In
France."
Before he left ho wrote to W. W.
Reeder, of 192p Park avenue, a former
employer, a letter descriptive of life In
camp. Mr. Reeder Is proud of thai let
ter. He likes the cheerfulness of It, and
he likes, moreover, the evidence of effi
ciency In the training of American sol
diers. And so Mr. Reeder has sent to
the EvENtNO Public Ledger, an excerpt
from the letter showing the routine of
onj .American camp where the boys were
preparing for work across the seas:
A SOLDIER'S PERFECT DAY
Yesterday was one of those busy

reveille we all march to the stables
and feed our horses first and come

make up our bunks and clean up all
around the barracks. As soon as this
Is finished over to the stables we go
and groom our horses, for by 7:30, we
must report on the drill field and all
shlned up, horses and all, ready for
the morning drill, which yesterday
took three hours In the morning.
This brings us to 10:30 o'clock. TO
were given fifteen minutes then to get
all belongings, Including our "pup"
tent, and be ready for a showdown In
spection by the commanding general
of the division by 11 o'clock. Well,

Staff
COL. CHURCHILL ARMY CENSOR
Is Directly Under Military Intelli
gence Bureau of Staff
Waahlnglnn, June 22 The War De
partment has decided to put the army
censorship under the military Intelligence
section of the general statr, with Colonel
Marlborough Churchill, head of the sec
tion, as chief censor. Major General
Frank W. Mclntvre, who has acted as
chief censor, will be relleed of that
duty and continued In his post as chief
of the Bureau of Insular Affairs.
The duties of the chief censor Include
passing Judgment on questions submitted
to the department In connection with
the voluntary censorship observed by
the press. ,
It was felt the functions of censorship
have been too widely separated under
various offices, when they might natur
ally be centralized in the bureau of mili
tary intelligence. Increased Importance
of the military Intelligence division Is
Indicated by the Information received
today that Colonel Churchill will be In
cluded among the offlcrs to Joe nominated
soon for promotion to brigadiers.

some rice pudding.
We have a whole hour to eat and
wash our mess kits. At 1 we return
again to the drill field, this time with
out h6rses. for we work on tho guns
about two hours and signal work then
until 4:30. We then return to the bar
racks to "doll up." for at retreat we
mubt look our best. This takes place,
at 5 o'clock and lasts Just fifteen min
utes. This brings us to the evening
mess, which blows at B:30.
Now we have nothing to do until 7
o'clock, when all noncommissioned men
must attend school for one hour. We
then make our bunks ready to sleep,
and It Is In this hour most of my let
ter writing must be done, with the ex
ception of Sundays. And up to very
recently I held my English class for
the Ignorant and foreigners between
6 and 7 o'clock. Last night about 9:30
we had a fine drill, which disturbed us
again, and this Is the end of a soldier's
"perfect day."
