in Honor of Battle
Xe* York dreamed all night of great
rictories, and woke up yesterday morn
?m to find the dreams were true.
The good news, confirmed in the
morning, when Father Knickerbocker
rushed for his papers an hour earlier
than usual, kept growing with each
edition of the evening papers, until
even the most cautious, who had not
dared to celebrate at first, threw re?
straint to the winds and joined in
with the noisiest.
It was a study in optimism cres?
cendo. At noontime the mere fact of
??Drive continues" was the main news.
Sy mid-afternoon the crowds threw
generalities to the wind and forgot

"S%ssons was in flames." and then
ths. "Soissons had fallen."

the theatres and moving picture houses

themselves with cheering the flag rose
to their feet and yelled with delight at
every film that showed any sort of
American troops in action. Occasion?
ally in the pictures a doughboy, more.
imaginative than the rest, swung his
cap and grinned at the audience, and
-hen the cheering broke loose again
in delighted response.
Four Minute Men, in various thea?
tres, called attention to the fact that
more American soldiers were in this
battle than in any other since the Civil
War, and that the "turning point of
the war" had come with the entrance
of the American doughboys into the

Super-Airplane Used
By British Is Success
/.O.VDOX, July IS. The newspapers
to-day give prominence to a report of
anew type of British airplane, which,
having been tested at the front with
success, is eibout to be employed there
in large numbers.
Xo technical details are given, but it
is ?aid the new machine has enormous
speed and climbing power. It. is capa?
ble of carrying great; weight in bombs,
machine guns and other equipment, and
of attaining a height of 20,000 feet in
an astonishingly short time.
It is said the machine can cover long
distances at a speed which leaves all
but the fastest modern scouting tri?
chines far behind, and thus is able to
cross the enemy's lines and drop bombs
and return for a fresh load within a
time limit far less than any of the
earlier airplanes.
The engines of the airplane are de?
clared to be so competely reliable that
risk of compulsory descent into the en?
emy's territory is eliminated. It is
added that not one of these wonder
machines has yet been downed, not?
withstanding the utmost efforts; of the
Germans.
Malvy Says Russia

PARIS, July 19.?The cross-examina?
tion of M, Malvy, former Minister of
the Interior, who is on trial before the ;
Senate, sitting as a High Court of Jus- ,
tice, on a charge of treason, was con- ;
tinned to-day.
. M. Malvy defended himself ns hav?
ing always acted in accord with each
ministry of which he was a member.

eral Njvelle, expressing the gratitude
of the army and of General Nivelle,

MaWy's work.
M.Malvy sain' the morale of the army
*fs excellent before the April, 1917,
"??naive, but that it lowered sharply
?wrward, owing to the result of the
Offensives and disappointed hopes. The

sion of leaves, and also to the Russian

New Yorkers Rush
To Enlist When
Battle News Comes
Echoes from the Yankee smashes on
the Marne resounded in New York City
yesterday on the steps leading up to
the army, navy and marine corps re?
cruiting rooms. Hundreds, impelled by
the thrill in every iine of the war
news, men above and below the draft,
age and registrants in deferred classes
eagerly beseeched a place with the ad?
vancing men of Pershing.
Friday, according to recruiting of?
ficers, is the poorest enrolment day
of the. week, under ordinary circum?
stances. But yesterday, through the
pressure of the American successes,
was a record day.
.Marines Accept Seventy ?
The throng of stocky young men who
presented themselves at the Marine
Corps ' recruiting station, 24 East
Twenty-third Street, made a fitting
farewell setting for Lieutenant Dan
M. Gardner, who departed for Miami,
Fla,, for flying service. He has been
in command of the local Marine Corps
recruiting since America entered the
\,ar. Lieutenant George Knellcr, who
received his commission June It, and
who succeeds Lieutenant Gardner, re?
ported seventy recruits taken, out of
?OO applicants.
At the navy recruiting station, in
Fast Twenty-third Street, ninety-si"
men, almost doubling Thursday's en?
listments, were accepted. In other navy
recruiting stations throughout the city
almost as many more were enrolled.
The station at Twenty-third Street
had its own casualties, in the fainting
of a pair of twins who were rejected.
The two were exact in every measure?
ment. Both fulfilled every physical re?
quirement and were ready for enrol?
ment when it was discovered that they
were afflicted with a disease of the ear,
slight, but enough to cause their rejec?
tion. As they heard the verdict of the
examining physician both paled and
one of them dropped over unconscious.
The other surveyed his brother for a
moment, when he, too, lost conscious?
ness. They were revived quickly.
Tank Gets Recruits
At the camouflaged tank on the Pub?
lic Library steps there was a crowd of
3,000 at noon. "Treat 'Em Rough," the
tank cat, wore a red bow on his tail
in honor of the victory, while Sergeant
Ellis, in charge of the recruiting sta?
tion in the tank, went at the crowd
with such ?loquence that he had ten
volunteers as the result of two hours'
work. The total for the day was six?
teen recruits, instead of six or seven,
the normal number.
"Get in, men, before it's too late!"
he cried. "We've got 'em started now,
and we'll push clear through the Rhine
and up to the North Pole and freeze
'em to death."
Alien Woman Seeks
To Be Chinese Bride
Miss Minnie Nagee, an Austrian,
twenty-four years old, called at the
Enemy Alien Bureau yesterday, seeking
permission to go to Shanghai, China,
where she said she had an engagement
to marry S. K. Tong, whom she de?
scribed a1? a leading politician and a
man of importance in the new Chinese
Republic.
The applicant, was referred to Percy
Armstrong, an assistant examiner. The
woman, who was born in Jasienica,
Austria, said she expected her future
husband would be stationed at Wash?
ington as Chinese Ambassador. Where
the couple met could not be ascer?
tained. Miss Nagee gave her address
as the Konta Hotel, Ninety-fourth
Street and Broadway.
Frederick Gathman. alias Fred Klein,
of 221 Reid Avenue. Brooklyn, who was
arrested under the anti-Ioafing lav.-,
was brought to the bureuu when it was
learned he was born in Germany in
1S91. He has not been naturalized and
failed to register as an enemy alien,
lie explained to Mr. Armstrong that he
was a member of the 13th Coast Artil?
lery, N. G. N. V., until July 13, 1917.
and therefore did not register for the
draft. Being unable to give any excuse
for not having registered as an enemy
alien, he was sent to the Raymond
Street jail pending an investigation.
Frederick Guntschan, an enemy alien
who was employed by the Borden Milk
Company at 135th Street and the North
River, was taken in custody by agents
of tho customs service for being in the
forbidden zone. He came here in 1912
and liad failed to obtuin a permit to
enter the barred zone. Mr. Armstrong
sentenced him? to ninety days in the
Mercer County jail, at Trenton.
Karl Ahrendt, an enemy alien, of 944
Washington Avenue, The Bronx, was
also apprehended at the milk station
and sentenced to ninety days in the
Raymond Street jail. He had failed to
register as an enemy alien, explaining j
that he understood his three years';
residence in England made him a citi- ;
zen of that country.

Means Says Huerta
Was Sent Here as
Agent for Germans
Object Was to Stir Up War
Between Mexico and
United States
?
CHICAGO, July 19r?The assertion
that the late Victoriano Huerta, Presi
: dent of Mexico, came to the United
; States after he was ousted from the
? Presidency in the interests of the Ger
: man government and with the intent to
: cause war between Mexico and this
; country was made on the witness stand
: to-day by Gaston B. Moans during his
testimony regarding an alleged second
\ will prepared by James C. King. Means
was a witness at a hearing being held
j as a result of an attempt of certain
I heirs to have the will admitted to pro
j bate.
j During his testimony Means also
j brought in the names of Count von
, Bernstorff, J. Pierpont Morgan. Cap?
tain Boy-Ed and Secretary Daniels.
Means asserted that in 1915 he was
! told by a German officer that Huerta
would come to the United States in the
: interests of the German government,
and that he later would return to Me.x
! ico and attempt to embroil the south?
ern republics and the United States.
\ The witness said he communicated this
: information to a detective agency,
: which brought about the arrest of
Huerta. He added that his action
caused,him to be dismissed by Captain
Boy-Ed from the employ of the Ger
! man Embassy.
Later, the witness said, he held con?
ferences with Joseph P. Tumulty, sec- i
retary to the President; Secretary j
Daniels, J. Pierpont Morgan and John
R. Rathom, editor of "The Providence
Journal," at which he gave these-gen?
tlemen information which resulted in j
the arrest of Werner Horn while en ;
route to blow up a Canadian bridge i
over which Canac'ian troops were be- !
fn?" transported. He also testified he
had warned government officials < f i
the destruction of the Parliament i
buildings at Ottawa.
"Some German agents knew I was I
on familiar terms with Captain Boy
Ed," the witness testified, "and as- :
sumed anything they said to me would
go no further. I listened to all they i
had to say and reported it."
Means said Mrs. Maude C. King, of \
whose murder he recently was a-- j
quitted, was interested wPh him finan- ?
c'?> 11 v in supplying the German gov- j
ernment with rubber, i.i violation of '?
the Anglo-American trade agreement. '
He said Germany still owed Mrs. '.
King's estate approximately $167,000
as a result of these transactions.
The witness announced that he had
been ordered by the Department, of
Justice to report to the local bureau
j^to assist the authorities in unearthing j
(ici man plots in the United States.

Interborough Loan
Approved by Bankers
Approval of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company's proposed $39,47?),- ;
000 note issue was expressed yesterday
by Jacob II. Schiff and James Speyer,
who were called as witnesses before ?
the Public Service Commission.
The plan of the Interborough Com?
pany is to issue three-year notes, bear?
ing 7 per cent interest, which are con?
vertible into first mortgage bonds at '
5 per cent interest, the conversion
price to be 81V?..
Mr. Schiff said Kuhn, Loch & Co.
would be unwilling to form a syndicate
to market the notes, but declares this
was due merely to the firm's previous
interest in another direction.
"Under present conditions I think
the proposition is a favorable one," he
said. "One must take opportunities
now as he finds them." Concerning the
conversion privilege, he said that
everything is of value these days and
every possible inducement must be of- ;
fered investors, who are scarce.
Mr. Speyer's opinion was similar to
that Mr. Schiff. He said the traction
companies' finances would be in much
better condition had they been allowed
to raife fares several months ago.
"The inability to raise fares has left
the companies in a different position ;
from numerous other business con?
cerns, which are now making note flo?
tations," he added. "At the present
time the public could scarcely be ex- j
pected to buy notes at par, when other ;
attractive issues are offered below par." j
The commission will reserve de- I
cisi?n.
Tolishus Disbarment
Hearings Are Started
{Special Dispatch to The Tribune)
SYRACUSE, July 19.?John A. Toli?
shus, Syracuse attorney accused of
making seditious statements, appeared
in his own behalf to-day at the first
hearing in his case before the griev?
ance committee of the Onondaga Bar
Association behind closed doors.
Francis P. Welsh, who with D. Eaton
Alvord, made the complaint to the Bar
Association as the basis of possible
disbarment proceedings, was the only
witness heard. Tolishus took notos of
Mr. Welsh's testimony, which followed
closely his evidence before the grand
jury relative to the statements made by
the clerk in Bond % Schoeneck's office.
It was said the testimony would be kept
secret, as Welsh later is to tell the
same story to the special grand jury
called by Judge Ray to hear the case,
following the discharge of the jury
that voted to indict Tolishus and later
reconsidered. Mr. Alvord. the other
petitioner to the Department of Jus?
tice and the Bar Association for an in?
vestigation of the case, will testify to?
morrow'.

2 Arrested for Bond Theft
George Rosenthal, forty-eight years
old, of 514 West 176th Street, and
William Strauss, thirty years old, of
1110 Simpson Street, The Bronx, were
arrested last night charged with the
disposal of Liberty bonds and securi?
ties worth $52,000 stolen from the

ern Union, was given the securities
and bonds to deliver to the firm's
customers. Weiss will be brought to
New York to testify.
According to the police, Weiss gave

worth $21.000. Rosenthal and Strauss
were taken into Goldman's confidence.

U. S. to Consult Labor
It Admits Employers Also to
Government Counsels
WASHINGTON, July in. Admission
of employers nnd workers to the coun?
sels and operation of the government's!
labor recruiting and distributing ma?
chinery, which will be put into effect as
regards unskilled labor on August 1,
was announced to-day by the Depart?
ment of Labor. Details of this coopera?
tion were to be worked out to-day at a
meeting here of representatives of em?
ployers and employes in twenty-eight
' states east of the Mississippi with offi?
cials of the United States Employment
, Service.
i A similar conference will be held
July 25 in Denver for states west of the
Mississippi.
The recruiting of workers, according
to the plan announced to-day, calls for
the formation in each state of a state
advisory board of the employment ser?
vice, composed of the state director of
the employment service and two repre?
sentatives each of the employers and
workers.
The state*boards will supervise the
apportionment among communities of
quotas?the number of workers to be

ing the apportionment among the non
essential industries of the men to he
furnished, will be organized on the
same basis as the state boards. The
representatives of labor in each case

and the employers' members by em?
ployers' associations.
Canada's Supreme
Court Holds Army
Draft Law Valid
OTTAWA, July 10.?Constitutional?
ity of the amended military service
act, abolishing certain exemptions, was
upheld by the Supremo Court of Can?
ada to-day in dismissing the applica?
tion for a writ of habeas corpus made
on behalf of a drafte-cl man. The ap?
peal division of the Supreme Court of
Alberta had previously decided the
amended law was invalid.
The whole fabric of the Canadian
draft law was involved in the case, and
an adverse decision, it is believed,
would have necessitated nn extraordi?
nary session of Parliament.
The status of 40,000 men now in
service hinged upon the highest tri?
bunal's ruling, Chief Justice Sir
Charles Fitzpatrick, Sir Louis Davics
and Justices Duff and Anglin sustain?
ing the legality of the order-in-coun
cil of April 2n and Justices Idlington
and Brodear dissenting.
Many on Way Across
Many of the conscripted men already
are on their way overseas, but a ma?
jority of them are in Canadian train?
ing camps. The tower courts were
besought, on behalf of some of the
draftees, who tried to evade service,
for writs of habeas corpus. A dozen
such men in Sarcee Camp, near Cal?
gary, were granted the writs, but the
military authorities refused to recog?
nize them or surrender the soldiers.
Lieutenant Colonel Phil Moore, the
commandant to whom the order of the
Supreme Court of Alberta was direct?
ed, was adjudged in contempt, and a
Sheriff was ordered to bring him into
court. Moore's, superiors instructed
him to resist, and serious trouble was
averted on July 13 when both sides
reached a compromise, the army au?
thorities agreeing not to send the sol?
diers overseas until the Supreme Court
of Canada had passed upon the case.
Army Given Full Power
The decision establishes the right
of the government to suspend the
habeas corpus under the military ser?
vice act.
Under the authority of the amended
military service act, established by
orders-in-council and approved by res?
olution of both houses of Parliament,
the government cancelled the exemp?
tions held by unmarried men between
twenty and twenty-two years old, in?
clusive.
The validity of the orders-in-council
was contested on the ground that they
were- unconstitutional; that amend?
ment to the military service act should
have been made by an act of Parlia?
ment instead of by order-in-council.
The decision of the Supreme Court
holds that the orders-in-council were
valid.
U. S. Orders Closing
Of Page-Shaw Stores
(Special Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, July 10..Page &
Shaw, included among the leading con?
fectioners of the country, have been
forced to close their New York factory
and their five New York stores for one
week, beginning July 24, and to post
signs stating they have been closed for
violating food admanistration rulings.
In addition, they must turn over to the
government all supplies of sugar above
those needed to meet their require?
ments for thirty days. This amounts
to about 31,000 pounds.
The penalty was imposed after an in?
vestigation by the New York Federal
Food Board and approved by the food
administration in Washington. At a
hearing in New York it was shown the
company had hoarded sugar and had
used it in excessive quantities.
Under a food administration regula?
tion, effective July 1, confectioners are
limited to 50 per cent of their re?
quirements last year. On this basis
Page &. Shaw had on hnnd in New York
sufficient sugar to meet their needs for
four months, while the food adminis?
tration prohibits holding more than a
thirty days' supply.
The New York manager admitted he
had been carrying about three months'
supply, adding that no sugar had been
purchased since May. This indicated
that before the 50 per cent limitation
became effective he had been even higher
above the thirty days' requirement.
Page & Shaw were warned about two
months ago ny the Federal Food Ad?
ministrator for Massachusetts that
sugar holdings at their Boston plant
seemed excessive, and they were given
a clear interpretation of the food ad?
ministration's attitude.

"Hobo King" Plans
Hotel de Gink for
Our Fighting Men
_ i
Jeff Davis Proposes Freei
Lodging in Old St. Denis !
and Astor House
A Hotel de Gink for the soldier or;
sailor who comes to New York with '
| plenty of leave but very little money
! is to be established, it was announced
by the founder of the original, the
"hobo king," Jeff Davis, yesterday.
"New York is making bums out of
; soldiers and sailors," said Mr. Davis.
! "Exactly one thousand of them sleep
| in New York every night on something
j besides a bed. It may be a park bench,
! or it may be a dock, or it may be a
j Staten Island ferry, but it's anything
but a bed, for we're shy just one thou
? sand of them every night in the week
j except Saturday. And Saturday we
! need five thousand."
To Be Self-Sustaining
A hotel that is absolutely self-sus
! taining is contemplated by Mr. Davis,
who wants the new cstablishment_run
on precisely the same plan as was his
hotel for hoboes at Worth and Centre
streets. There is to be no charge for
I the accommodations, as, according to
Mr. pavis, "there never was a sailor
or a soldier in the world that isn't
broke all the time."
The guests of the new service hotel
will make their own beds, cook their
[ own meals, wash their own linen, and
thus relieve the management of the
j expense of maids, cooks and laundry
workers. Foodstuffs will be procured
from commission merchants and paid
for by a few hours of honest toil by the
soldiers and sailors themselves. Mess
duty or mop duty will be nothing in
the lives of the men in the service, Mr.
Davis argues, if it means a meal and a
bed as compensation.
Two Buildings Available
Mr. Davis said yesterday that he al?
ready has the indorsement of several
of the members of the Mayor's Com?
mittee on National Defence for his
project and has been promised further
cooperation. lie hopes to get the gov
j eminent to buy the cots, and has been
promised the use of the old St. Denis
i Hotel and the old Astor House, pro
! vided they can be repaired to meet the
I fire laws. The original Hotel de Gink
| is to be turned over next month to the
? Federal Employment Bureau.

I sioner Reifschneider in ?2,500 bail for
j the Federal grand jury, charged with
I smuggling paintings into the United

i David Herman, a member of the firm,
| was a witness for the government. He
! told the commissioner that a sum of
I money, part of the firm's deposits in
; Russian banks, was to have been con
1 cealed in the frames of the paintings,
i as the Russian ?government refused to
I allow it to be taken out of the country.

j day, and Major General II. L. Rodgers,
1 the newly appointed quartermaster
general, will take up his duties in
Washington. The Secretary added that

eral and was slated to succeed General
; Sharpe as head of the supply service.
A statutory requirement that any offi?
cer appointed head of the quaftermas
i ter corps must have served at least
four years previously in the corps,
however, prevented General Wood's
assignment.

martial set forth that they were "tried,
convicted and fined in the magistrate's
? court of said city for gambling." thus
violating the article of war against
bringing discredit upon the military

a British steamship after a trip from

On the journey westward through the

one of a convoy escorted by twelve
British converted yachts and several
American destroyers. On the morning:
of May 23 at 3 a. m., he said, with a
bright moon shining, he saw the Anchor
liner Elysia torpedoed and sunk. Later,
off Ushant, the fleet was attacked again
by U-boats, and this time, according to
the traveller, a destroyer dropped three

A day later, in the English Channel,
he said, his vessel barely escaped going
