Contractors ".Mark Time"
Without waiting for action, th Phil
adelphia Suhvvav Construction Com
pany lias virtually stopped work on
Its $1,000,000 contract In conrtectlon
with tho sewage disposal plants. Many
other contractors are beginning to
mark tlmo. Especially Is this the case
with the contract held by tho lie

vard. In somo Instances work lias
stoped on sewer and highway con
struction Much of the work, accord
ln to Director Datesmen, of the De
partment of Public "Works. Is far
enough advanced to be pushed to early
completion.
Highway work will bo confined
largely to repairs, while the placing of
new streets on the city plan and the
rovlslon of lines and grades will pro

of tho fact that this class of wnrk.

against tho city's borrowing capacity.
Utile Work for Inspectors
These conditions, taking into con
sideration the probable slowing down
of work on the removal nf grade cross
ings, leave little or nothing for work
this fall for scores of Inspectors. City
inspectorships are eagerly sought after
by tho small-fry political workers nnd
form a convenient reward for work
done In divisions and wards. The nver

and In some cases department heads
are given the power to appoint at will,
without asking Councils for permis

The same conditions that make It
possible to drop many Inspectors, at
least until "after the war," also per

Ices of the men who prepared for the
actual work. This class Includes sur
veyors, chainmen, draftsmen, clerks.

Many Vacancies Untllletl
In Justice to the Bureau of Surveys,
It must be admitted that many of the
positions vacated by men leaving for
better-paid positions or to enter the
Federal service have not heen filled.
Most of the high-salaried places, how
ever, have not been greatly disturbed
by these changes, and in some cases It
has given opportunity to Jump low
paid men Into much better-paying
places.
No city official Is willing at this time
to discus changes and reductions In
working forces by reason of the prep
arations to abandon municipal im
provements until the war's end. In
the list that might be dispensed with
are many paid out of loan money.
The reduction of forces along this line
would be of no benefit to policemen
and firemen, as they by no stretch of
financial Juggling could benefit from
money set aside by the voters for use
in transit construction or work inci
dental thereto.

With the American Armies In Farnce,
Juno "26.
An American unit has taken over a
new sector In German Alsace, It is now
permissible to announce. Already it has

It is the third sector taken over by the
Americans on the Alsaco fiont and the
second In Oerman territory.
Details are now available of the Ger

The Germans laid down two heavy box
barrages, completely surrounding two
Franco-American outer positions. Sim
ultaneously enemy planes bombed Ba

Americans, who had been cut off In
one of tho positions the Americans ailed
to give a foot, although they were out
numoered three to one Thay fought

Moscow, Juno 2C.
A great fire at Kiev has deMroyed five
square miles of the town.
The Odessa arhcnal hai been blown up.
'A flotilla of Improvised monitors under
command of n sailor has bombarded
Nagauren.
Tho Germans In L'kralne are by their
acquisitions steadily Increasing tho dis
satisfaction of the working cmsses and
peatants. Serious disorders and id some
cases open risings are taking place.
AVhere the Bolshevik! hold a center
they make expeditions against the Ger-
mans In the surrounding country, nota
bly In the Governments of Chunlgoff and
Podolsk. In Kiev itself the explosion
of a powder magazine Is Mill -unexplained
All the window h In the main
street were smashed and tho resulting
fire, not yet controlled, threatens kero
sene and other exploslvo stores.
Killing Ilolshevlkl
Many reports agree throughout the
l'kralne the Germans are systematically
killing Bolshevlkl nnd flogging workmen.
It Is reported that whereas the Germans
destroy the Soviet organizations, tho
Austrlans do not, and there are dif
ferences of a serious character between
the Allies on this account in the
Ukraine.
The ministry of labor In the Ukraine
reports tho following figures of uneni
ploed: Kiev, 16,000; Odessa, 20,000;
Kherson, 25,000 ; Kharkoff, 25,000 ;
Jvlkolaleff, 24,000; Kkaterlnohlav. 40.000.
These huge figures are partly explained
by the purposeful closing of works in
order (o starve the work people Into
sacrificing the gains of the revolution
and agreeing to work for ridiculously
small wages and longer hours, the starv
ing unemployed of one district being
used to blackleg the starving unemployed.
of another.
(luard Frontiers
Meanwhile the Germans are keeping
fairly close guard on the Russian-
Ukrainian frontiers, which disturbs
classes quite other than that of the
workers. Radek's prophecy In a speech
to the Council of National F.conomy on
the Brest-Lltovskr peace, when he said
Ukraine would find separation from Rus
sia Impossible for economic reasons. Is
already verified by a.-'deputatlon of big
Ukrainian masters of Bteel and iron In
dustries who Informed the Ukrainian
Government that the economical life of
the country would perish unless close
economic connection was established
with northern Russia, which Is Its prin

MARKED PATRIOTISM
SHOWN BY SCHOOLS
More Than $23,000,000 Sub-
scribed During Term for
War Work
Practical patriotism has been demon
strated by the public schools of Phila
delphia through the valuable aid they
have given the United States during the
present crisis.
Although the schools close today their
work to aid tha Government will con
tlnuo during the summer through the

During the term more than 523,000,000
was hubscrllied through the schools to
war work. Tho goad work of the hcliool
children during the various campaigns
Is shown by the following record:
For the third Liberty Loan they raised
subscriptions to the amount of $15,493,
450, while $6,462,600 was raised for the
second Liberty Loan. They also sub
scribed 696,728ln war savings stamps
and gave $319,114 to the War Chest,
.Many ot tho schools had special talkir
and demonstrations on food conservation
during the year.
Wilson for Age
Extension Delay
Continued from Tore One
to France, youths under tvvenly-one be
ing called simply for training.
But the Democratic opposition to any
extension of the drnft ages before elec
tion Is strong and may defeat even Sen
ator Hitchcock's suggestion. Senator
Kirby, the loud-lunged Arkansan. who
tries to appear to speak for tho Adminis
tration, declared that an extension of
tho draft ages was unnecessary. Gen
eral Crowder's proposal of eighteen to
forty-five had never, he said, been ap
proved by the War Department.
!'o Reason To Kxtend
Senator JIcKellar also expressed the

Senator Chamberlain, who stands nt,
ways for a more vigorous prosecution of
the war than do his Democratic col
leagues, thought tho age should be
eighteen to forty-five, but believed that
no legislation providing the vouneer
age limit could pass the, House, at least!
witiiout tne express request of the War
Lepanment.
Xo such request has come, for Ken.
retary Baker's attitude Is "let Congress
do It If It wants to." He will adopt no
policy, although urged to do so by Gen
eral Crowder. and It Is said also by the
General Staff. '
Congress is afraid of the country '
It was predicted by advocates nf h.
measure that unless the age limits were
r"-iiura i mss i soon would be ex
hausted, with consequent disruption of
industry and a repressive cnTect on the
war program
An amendment for training foreign
troops In the United States also was
written Into the bill.
Senator ireed said unmarried men
without dependents between thirty-one
and forty-one years of age should be
called before married men In the de
ferred classes, and Senator Wadsworth
said this undoubtedly would be done.
And the Administration tine nAi i
slst that unlimited trust shail be re
placed In the loyalty of the men and
women, especially the women, who have
made the big sacrifices of this war thus
far gladly and without complaint. The
Senate today gave the appearance of
hesitating on the brink of war,
Man-Power Affected
In the debate it wes said that the
moral effect upon Germany of making
mo noie man-power of the country
available for war, every male from
eighteen to forty-five, would be tre
mendous: but the moral effect upon
Washington would e equally so. With
the whole man-power available the
vision of America's part and duty In the
war would widen. Men would see the
war as Senator Wadsworth sees It. Ships
would come faster. Plans with regard
to the east fronj would come faster

HOPE OF POSTPONING
"ZONE" SYSTEM FADES
Newspaper and Magazine Pub
lishers See No Probability
of Delay
Waililngton, June 26.
Hopes of newspapers and magazine
publishers that they would succeed In
having the effective date of the .postal
zoning system postponed from "July 1
this enr to July 1, 1919, to permit nn
Impartial Investigation and hclenllllc
calculation of rates, vanished today.
Pressure from the White Hou,e
would move the majority nf the Ways
and Means Committee ot the House to
report out a resolution that would act
as a stay, and that pressure, It was real
Ized, will not be forthcomng.
"When the system has been In effect
six months it will have proved Itfelf
and its repeal will be Impossible,"
Chairman Kltchln said. "Tho publ'sh
ers know that and that Is why they
want It postponed."
Representative Johnson, ot Washing
ton, a newspaper publisher, predicted, on
the other hand, that there will be con
fusion all over the country In post
office and newi-paper and magazine offi
ces "when the system goes into effect
next Monday,
, Publishers still hoped today that they
vvpuld be successful In securing minor
changes In the law that will make It
less cumbersome. One of these changes
would be to permit tho proportion of
advertising to news matter to be esti
mated by the month instead of by the
day, and another would permit the adop
tion of round numbers In figuring pro
portions rather than odd figures.
. "Leading Democrat? on the Ways and
Means Committee have heen successful
In getting this plan over as a revenue
measure, after It had 'failed on Its
merltH," Johnson, of Washington, said.
"As a matter of fact It wlU bring In only
n few million dollars, which will not
make up the Becond-class deficit, and
It will put hundreds of small newspapers
out of business."
Johnson hald he would seek through
congressional enactment to seiAire a re
classification of mail matter so -that
material bucIi a mall order catalogues,
on vvhlcji the Government loses much
money, will not be In the same class
with newspapers.
"If the newspapers and magazines
are to be compelled to pay their way,
They should not. In addition, be forced to
carry along tills other matter," Johnson
said. "Let It pay Its way, too.

Asked
I.ondon, June 26,
Iskutsk (the chief commercial city of
Siberia) has been captured by Czecho
Slav troops under General Alexleff, said
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Copenhagen today.
The Czecho-Slav army fighting tho
Bolshevlkl Is made up largely of former
prisoners of war and also includes other
former Austro-Hungarian subjects In
Russia. They have been mobilized under
General Alexleff, who was commander-in-chief
of the Russian forces under tho
regime of formcr'eCzar Nicholas.
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger

Paris, June 2E. .
There Is a strong belief here that
Japanese Intervention In "the Far EasMi
possible. Japan is understood .to be
perfectly willing to take action If she Is
formally asked to do so by the Allies. 'It
Is generally believed that she Is ready to
supply the necessary man-power if the
other Allies, Including America, will
furnish the necessary equipment and
other materjal which she herself Is un
able to produce.
Interest Is now centered upon th'e
military forces which Japan can bring
into the war. On this head the Informa
tion available is extremely scanty, for
In no country has the exact nature ot
military preparations been so success
fully kept secret as In Japan. No Gov
ernment reports are published as to the
number of her effectives, and It appears
that the Japanese Parliament Is no bet
ter Informed than the people themselves.
Information from private sources w'hlch
has been published here, however, tends
to show that, although at no time were
more than 600,000 men engaged on the
Japanese side In the war against1 Rus
sia, the empire has now and has had
fclnce mobilization took place at the be
ginning of the present war at least" 2.
000,0,00 soldiers available.
These belong to the active army, the
first mid second reserve and the ter
ritorial reserve. Immediately after this
first-line army, Japan can mobilize a
second contingent of 1,000,000 men who
have not yet nerved In the army In
peace time, hut who ate as physically
fit as the men In the nctlve ranks.'These
men have received five periods of train.

what Japanese officers term the auxil
iary reserve.
Behind these 3,000,000 men there aro
In Japan more than 5,000,000 more or
less able-bodied, but totally untrained,
men who may be Immediately" mobl.
lized If necessary. Detailed figures pub.
llshed by one of the Japanese reviews
shows out of 11,000,000 men at least
6.000,080 are either fully or partly ,
trained, and at least 3,000,000 f,ully
trained, It Is believed here that Japan
can furnish an expeditionary corps ol
between fifty-five and sixty divisions ol
18,500 men each, or well over 1,000,000
men.
