Smith, of Torresdale who, In letters to
his brother, "iCelby Smith, has nn
nonnred his early return to this oity.
The latter stated that his brother
had expressed no nireet criticism, but
thnt between the lines there was evi
dent stronc dissatisfaction with the laR
pard methods nt I'm Is diplomats in
taking hold of the situation in the Cau
casus. Walter George Smith was one of n
number of commissioners nrrpointed in
February to study the proldcms of the
near east, particularly of the Cau-
oasus.
About thirty millions of dollars, gath
ered through the instrumentality of
Cleveland Dodge, Dr. James Harton,
William II. Tuft and from the govern
mental appropriation for relief, lias
been expended. The need, according to
advices from Mr. Smith. i urgent for
the immediate assumption of a manda
tory over the Caucasus by some pow
erful and able government.
"There were about 70(1 or RflO in
the personnel of that expedition," said
Mr. Kelhy Smith today. "T!ic brought
immediate relief to the near east,
spending .Rn.nn0.nnn for drugs, food,
rlothing rfnd virtually everything else
that could help relieve a desperate sit
uation. "My brother writes to me that the
Armenians are perfectly capable of self
government and the temporary gov
ernment they have set up has nrou'-ed
bis admiration. Hut most of their
able-bodied men have either been killed
or are returning in helpless condition
from Hussia. Siberia. Syria and other
Countries, where they nave been driven.
"My brother was in Constantinople
up until about .Tune 1,i. As a result
of his conferences with numerous con
sular representatives. goernmcutat
heads and other., he left very shortly.
on about twenty-four hours' notice, for
I'ari, to impress members of tne Pence
Conference witli the desperate situation.
"While he diil not viy so, I read be
tween the lines (hat lie was very much
dissatisfied with the slowness of action
taken, and he is Impressed with the fact
thnt the lime for private enterprise to
control the remedying of the state of
affairs is passed.
"There are still about five million
people in the Caucasus in jeopardy and
want. There is still great need there.
The job has reached such gigantic pro
portions, he sajs, that it is not possible
for any private organization to handle
it."
Mr. Smith expects to arrive on the
S. S. Itochanibcnu at New York on
August 10. if lie lias luck in getting
passage. She is due to leave the other
side August i).
NEW ARMY DATA SOUGHT
Recruiting Officers Say Reorganiza
tion Has Not Been Made Plain
Hccruiting officers are seeking de
tails of the plan proposed for the re
organization of the I'nited States regu
lar army. Thej say that in spVeral
particulars the new plan lias not been
made pbiin by the War Department.
In local military circles it is pointed
out thnt while the program for the
reorganization of the National Ciuanl
lias been completed, thnt pertaining to
the standing army of the I'nited States
is known only in general outline.
Among other things which local mili
tary men believe will jet develop in con
nection with the organization of the
regular army will lie the maintenance
of mobilization camps to which new
recruits will he sent and where they
Mill be trained as units in the replace
ment corps from which all branches of
the service will draw its men to take
the places of those discharged through
completion of enlistments.
In connection with this plan it lias
been suggested that the War Depart
ment should take into consideration
the services of scores of nonciininiis
sioned officers who, during the war. were
temporarily commissioned as lir.-t and
second lieutenants and utilized in train
ing the men for the national army at
the cantonments.
SUBWAY WORK NEARS END
City Hall Station, to Cost $3,500,000,
to Be Completed in Fall
The Itroail street subwnj station be
neath the City Hall is 00 per cent coni-'
jricted.
With -100 men working day and night,
the station, which represents an engi
neering triumph, will he finished by
fall. Hut when it is completed it will
remain hidden, unavailable for use for
nt least three years.
The cost of the operation is estimated
at 3,.-.00,00O.
The Proad street subway lines
which the statirfn is to serve have not
even been started, and it is estimated
that it will require more thnu three
years after work is commenced to com
plete an operating section of the sub
way. The government, when it forbade con
struction during the war, caused the
postponement of the project by prevent
ing nwaiding of contracts by the city
for sections of the subway on Proad
street. How soon bids will be asked
the Department of City Transit is uncertain.

And the preparations for that great order saved the furniture situation for
Gimbels retail business this season.
It means so much to you in the face of present furniture scarcity and, high
prices that the story is worth reading.
The Gimbel Stores furnish pretty much all the new modern hotels and
you realize that the furnishings of a good hotel are merely the furnishings, as it
were, of many private homes and always holding to very durable goods.
Gimbels furnished the great Hotel Traymore, you know, from kitchen spoon
to last elaborate electrolier.
Well, this Hotel Ambassador required great quantities of furniture; Our
requirements had long practically kept one large plant busy and we needed
, much from twenty other, makers. But the drain of war was too much and this
factory gave up business. To protect ourselves and our commitments we took
our business to another plant removed from the troubles that had surrounded
the other and the remaining skilled workers went to this other plant.
To back the job, great quantities of materials were bought remember,
this was a whole year ago, and the savings from today's prices are' 20 to 40.
And so it goes, on present valuations incoming goods total
From plant "A" $140,000 From plant "C"
From plant "B'? - 150,000 ' From plant "O"
speaking only of the larger lots.
We are clearly of the opinion that in preparation and economy
