Army Objects To Control by Shipping Board Goethals May Insist Upon His Right to Build Vessels Danger of Divulging Military Secrets Seen Victory for Concrete Boats Believed One Result of Controversy By Theodore ?M. Knappen WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The Ship-! ping Board'-- insistence that every- : thing relating to shipbuilding under? taken by any other department of the \ government must be cleared through1 it may have two interesting results. In the first place, it is regarded as more than likely that General Goethals will protest to Secretary Baker agatnst the way in which the Secretary lightly conceded that the War Department was out of its place in undertaking to build vessels of any kind, and it is not impossible that if the general con? siders that his dignity has been in? fringed he will ask to be relieved of his present office. In the second place, the difference between the Water ? Transport Service und the Shipping Board may materially advance the in- j tjrests o: concrete ship building. Regarding the first phase, the of- | fleers of the Transport Service point I out that water transport is just as I much a part of the army as is wagon transport, and that since time imme- j moriai the army has buiit or contract- ? ed for weh vessels as it required,* whether they were row boats or j oceangoing transports. They can see ? nothing in the fact that we now have ! a government Shipping Board, whose ] business it is to provide a mercantile marine, that should cause that body to interfere with the army's transport ar- ! rangements any more than tnat the railway administration should under? take to prevent the army from build- i ing cars and locomotives for its mili- I tary railways here or in France. Military Secrets May Be Divulged Therefore the decision of the priori- , ties commission of the War Industries ! Board that the transport service must submit aii its plans to the Shipping Board and secure clearance of mate? rials through it, in case :he board con? sents to let the transport service bui'd its own vessels instead of doing tnat work for it. seems absurd to the latter, especially as to the plans. Minor offi? cials say bluntly that they will stren? uously object to letting p.ans for such vessels as mine-layers get out of their office and that they do not believe their superiors will yield on such a point. The decision of the priorities com- : mission would appear to apply to the I navy equal:",', but no one believes for a moment that Secretary Daniels will submit his battleship plans to the Shipping Board and let that body de? termine whether it shall direct the building of ships or let the navy do it. The army conterds that it is just as ; independent in such of its activities as I require ships as is the navy. On the second point the army trans? port people, it appears, have become enthusiastic converts to the concrete ship, large or small. General Goethals learned much about concrete while he was building the Panama Canal and used concrete barges even then. The great proV.em of ? ?;-:- .-hing a suffi? cient volume of transports for the nu? merous troon-: an;; vast quantities of supplies going and to go overseas, as . weil as the difficulty of securing small vesseis for harbor and river service, has naturally caused his department to turn its attention to concrete. ?Army Has Turned to Concrete Ships Partly because it was difficult to get other man concrete vessels, and partly not to inter:"?--re with either the ma? terials or the yards that are needed for the mercantile marine, it has turned more and more to concrete. Tnusit came about that, in addition to ferryboats, the army's water transport service let the contract for the twelve concrete river .--earners which brought forth the protest from Mr. Hurley. Tie army people think it rather un? gracious ?j' Mr. Hurley to attempt to interfere with their work, when they had taken bo much care to keep out of his way. Even the reinforcing steel they re? quire is o? a kind that is in store in 'arge quan-.it.es in different parts of the country. They have been equally considerate in the matter of engines sod boiler?. And as to competing for labor, they hold that their kind of ves? sels is lust as necessary and important ? the kind the Shipping Board is ouilding. That the army ?s not especially ?r-ager to buiid its vessels itself ?s shown by the fact that through the Shipping Board it m having ninety-two troop transports bul t at Hog inland. Still, it probably feels that if it can rind a "???ay to get more transports than the board can take care of there should be no objection to its going ahead through other channels. The possibilities of large concreto ships, therefore, appeal to the transport olf.cers. If the Shipping Board doe? not ehoose to r/.a?<e the most of the con? crete opportunity, the army does not *** why it should he prohibited from W,ccfte>J:r.'-r to realize it. It is General "Xtha.a - business to move troops and ??Ppl:es rapidly and now. Naturally, if Re can get -ships this year by building tnea of concrete he may not set- why ?e should wait indefinitely. The offi e*rj wf-r? tin ere foro much surprised *"en tne Shipping Hoard refused them ****** to its concrete ship plans and ?es'ign?. Dissatisfied With Hurley*-- Resulta fo put. their position bluntly, they ??SOOt tintix.rst.and why Mr. Hurley is Proceeding no slowly with hi? own con wete programme, to aay nothing of in ??"?nng with theirs. They ?ven mti *?<?? that if they had been building * I "?*????? 'nntead of concrete, thcrs ??aid have been no interference. They "?V'? devmlopt;c\ a type of concrete ship I ch ha? no ?-(posed frames, but re ?** entirely on the wall? of the ?hip WWI AT And they have taken up a new process, invented by a Washington architect, lor placing and holding the reinforcing steel, so that it is not necessary to wire the intersections of the transverse and longitudinal members or to build forms for the pouring of concrete. This re? duces the amount of auxiliary material and of labor required in the work and shortens the time of construction. They have just as much faith in concrete as they have in steel. It may be safely concluded that, whatever happens, the army will keep on building concrete vessels. Despite all opposition and all conservatism, concrete? is slowly winning an uphill fight. It scored another victory to-day, when the Inland Waterways Committee awarded contracts for twenty-one barges for use on the New York State Canal at an average price of $25,000. The Cumings Structural Concrete Company, of Philadelphia, is to build four at Ithaca; the Caldwell-Marshail Company, of In?l:anapolis, is to build four at Tonawar.da; Thomas E. Currie, of Detroit is to build five at Detroit, and the Holler-Davis-Flood Company is to build eight at Fort Edward. New York. These boats are to be 150 feet by 21 by 8. The army is building of concrete five tugs ('water boats) 100 feet long, four-, teen river steamers 130 feet long and ? twelve car floats 2H5 feet long and 37 feet beam. The navy is building small [ concrete tankers. Any of the contract- ? ors who are building for the army, the navy or the Inland Waterways Commit tee is competent to build large ships. The Tribune Fresh Air Fund Dark side or bright side ? East Side or country side? Which side of the story will touch your heart?the dark Ea.-it Side or the br:ght country side? The picture of their life in their tenements, or the story of their vacations in the ?great Fresh Air world ? Some folks are inspired to contrib? ute to Fresh Air Fund by the descrip? tion of the woes and tlie hardships of tenement homes. Others by the story of the fun, the freedom, the good things that make up a Fresh Air vaca? tion fax from the dingy walls of the city. Here is a picture for the folks that like the bright colors, that love to ! see children playing against a back? ground of green trees and blue sky. Did you ever hear of Alfred, N. Y. ? Maybe not, for it isn't a large nor an important place, aibeit a place with i a great heart. Important for an in- j terpretation of the picture is the fact I that it is the seat of Alfred University, j connected with which is a line large j dormitory built by the state for the ; accommodation oT agricultural students \ taking courses at the university. Lat? terly this dormitory has not been occu pied. Recently, when the people of Alfred were asked by The Tribune Fresh Air Fund to entertain some of its little ! wards for vacations, they decided to , make use of this dormitory in a novel I way. Just what they did is made suffi- ! ciently clear in the golden picture ' which follows. It is from the brush ' of the young woman who is acting as hostess for two week3 at the dormi? tory. "How I wish you could have been here last night to see the crowds at ! the stations in Hornell, Canisteo and Alfred, especially at this state dormi- ?? tory when we entered it at 9:30 p. m. ; It had flowers everywhere, many dolls on the pretty white beds and gay pa- I per napkins in the plates in the dining room. About fifty people were here j or came up from the station. "The very sleepy children had about' three kind ladies apiece to undress them at once, and the big ones went to the kitchen for crackers and milk. You j might not have been thrilled and sur- ' prised, but you certainly would have been gratified at the scene and the hos- : pitality. "Now?3 p. m. the next day? fourteen have gone off with three girl i scouts, who have a book to read from and eo-fkies to feed them at the end of i Lovers' Lane.

"Two of my middle sized charges arc ? singing while they loiter in the bath tub. None were bathed last night, and ! only eleven before breakfast. "Just one youngster was either sick! or homesick after we got here. She | cried half a dozen times during the night, but I comforted her before she waked up any of the others. To-day she ta very sweet about short ration? and extra naps.

"Countess" Ordered To End "War Fund" Detectives Find Woman Has Collected Money for the French Red Cross Chicquita Mazzuchi, of 28 East Fifty fifth Street, who says she is an Italian countess, was visited at her apartment yesterday by De'cectlves Brown and Mayer and taken to District Attorney Swann's office, where she was notified that she. mus!, stop collecting money in the name of the French Red Cross. The "countess," who signs herself "Chick," admited that she had been us? ing soldiers in uniform to stimulate her collections. The "countess" told Assistant Dis? trict Atornty Kilroe that she did ac? tive service as a nurse at the first battle of the Marne, and is now carry- ? ing a bullet in her thigh aa a souvenir of her experience. Sne said she had . not forwarded any money to France, but intended sending* it to a French? man, in care of the French mission in \ Washington. When the detectives enter her apart yesterday they found a navy machin- i ist there, who said he was on his way ' to the Boston Navy Yard.

An appeal to Senator Baird, of N'ew Jersey, to vote for the Federal suffrage amend? ment has been made by President Wilson in a letter made public at the White House to-day. If Senator Baird, who is a Repub? lican, votes for the amendment the suf? frage leaders here say it will pass by the necessary two-thirds majority. In? cidentally, the amendment will have a more than thrce-fcurths majority on the Republican side. In the last at? tempt to push the amendment through the Senate it was conceded by the an? tis that if a vote was obtained without Senator Ollie James being given a pair the amendment would have passed. But if two Senators in favor of the amendment had paired with Senator James ion the two to one basis, be? cause a two-thirds majority is neces? sary, the amendment would have been defeated. Therefore, if one of the anti Sena? tors- among whom Senator Baird was classed?should swing over the pair could be given Senator James and the pro-suffrage forces still maintain a two-thirds majority. The only change in the Senate membership since that time is that Senator Benet has suc? ceeded the late Senator Tillman. Sena? tor Tillman was an anti, and Senator Benet has not announced his position. He is believed, however, to be opposed to the amendment, thus leaving the line-up precisely as it was. The positive prediction that Presi? dent W ilson would attempt to swing over some of the antis has been made several times in The Tribune's Wash? ington dispatches. It had been under? stood, however, that his efforts were principally directed at Senators on the Administration side of the chamber, where the opponents of suffrage are much stronger numerically. It was predicted to-night that the let Wilson's Suffrage Letter to Baird WASHINGTON, Aug. '?.-Follow? ing text of President Wilson's suf? frage letter to Senator Baird, Re? publican, of New Jersey: "The whole subject of woman suf? frage has been very much in my mind of late and has come to seem to be a part of the international sit? uation, as well as of capital impor? tance to the United States. I believe our present position as champions of democracy tnroughout the world would be greatly strengthened if the Senate would follow the example of ? the House of Representatives in passing the pending amendment. I, therefore, take the liberty of writing ? to call the matter to your serious attention in this light and to ex? press the hope that you will deem it ; wise and throw your influence on the side of this great and now critical ; reform." ter of the President to Mr, Baird would have precisely this effect, giving sev? eral of the Southern Democrats Sen- ? t.tors the opportunity to explain their ? char.pe of position to their constituents by saying that the President had ap- ' pealed for the passage of the suffrage \ amendment on the ground of its im-i portance in international relations in j this critical time. i nus The .impor-! tance of the President's appeal does not rest solely on the question of ] whether Mr. Baird swings over to suf- j frage or not, but also on its effect I among Senators of the President's own \ party. i New York Women to Brave Police at White House Seven New York militant suffragists: volunteered yesterday for the demon- ? stration in front of the White House Tuesday.

I Children Travel 20,000 Miles to Find Father Parent Identifies Them by Picture of Mother They Carry Two tiny refugees in the khaki uni? form of the Russian army arrived on East Broadway yesterday after travel? ling two years, alone and covering 20.000 miles, in the search for their lather. They were Gersh and Meyer Cigudkin, of Grodna, Russia. Judas Cigudkin, their father, came to this country before the war. intend? ing to send for his wife ana children as soon as he could save the money for their passage. The war nrevented their coming at first, but two years ago Mrs. r??-^,-?*!n started across Si? beria, only to sicken and die in Harbin, China. The Hebrew Sheltering and Immi? grant Aid Society sent their agent from Yokohama, Samuel Mason, to take charge of the children. After many difficulties with the Bolshevik authori? ties, who, he reports, oppose the pass? age of Russians tu i he United States, he sent the children to this country. Upon their arrivai yesterday they were met by the father they hail not s??en them for five years and who identifii ?1 them by means of their dead mother's picture, which they carried.

J 10,000 Bees Dethrone Queen, Rout Red Cross and Sting Up a Town Swarm on Montclair Traffic Cop's Upraised ?Arm and When He Hunts Cover Charge Everybody in Sight Until Volunteer Pied Piper Herds Them to Hive MONTCLAIR. N. J.. Aug. 2. ? A swarm of bees drifted placidly into the centre of this town to-day and had the place completely to themselves until W. E. Sigler. a bee man. was called and hived them. It is believed the insects came from a deserted bee farm on Up? per Mountain Avenue. They came droning down Glenridge Avenue, while the populace fled before their advance. In front of Stammei man's newsstand the bees hesitated, circled and clustered for a few mo? ments as if about to swarm, then changed their minds and proceeded along Glenridge Avenue to Bloom field Avenue, the business centre of the community. Policeanan Takes to Heels Motorists whizzed through the swarm with heads bowed as though facing a blizzard. Pedestrians scuttled into the Red Cross headquarters for shelter. Traffic Patrolman James Lennon, his eye on a preoccupied motorist, held up a majestic hand, only to haul it down with undignified haste and thrust a lin? ger into his mouth. Traffic wan? temporarily at a stand? still, and Patrolman Lennon thought it permissible under the circumstances to leave his post to the bees. He sought Town Forester Hutter.lock as a natu? ralist of general attainments an?.! prob? ably a bee expert. From a safe distance Patrolman Lennon and Town Forester Huttenlock contemplated the boos while the refugee.* shouted advice from Red Crocs headquarterc. Some advocated chloroforming the bees, some wanted the two town offi? cials to sro dawn to the corner and commandeer a barrel of suirar. which should be placed a safe distance from Red Cross headquarters and a su^ar laid to where the indecisive bees were hovering. Bottle l'p Red Cross The bees suddenly decided to swarm an 1 picked out the limb of r* tree over? hanging the entrance to the Red Cross office as a suitable snot. Presently a great black cluster of them barred the fugitives' exit. A' this point Mr. Sigler happened along and vetoed all Che plans sug? gested.
