Though the brilliant ''work of
American army at the front
France is now on the lips of
members cf Congress who have
turned from abroad, they also have
mnch to say in high praise of the
navy's work on the other side of the
Atlantic.
Everybody In Congress who has
been "over there" has something fine
to say about Admiral Sims. Only
they don't often use the Word "ad
miral" In speaking of him. It's Just
"Sims," the plain, blunt, drect sailor
man of action.
It appears that Sims and the navy
have not only won golden opinions
from the British, but they have cap
tured the hearts of the solons who
have seen something of their work
and learned a jcood deal more.
Not much secret has been made in
conferences between members of
Congress who have been abroad and
such prominent British naval officials
as Sir Eric Geddes, of Just what Is
happening In the allied naval world.
Admiral Sims has also spoken with
frankness to Congressmen about
phases of the work of hunting down
submarines. Some of the things told,
it Is Just as well not to print.
TT.Ttnat T)fat4. M
In a general way. however, the
members of the House who have
lately been .on the other side have
come home convinced the German
submarine has seen its best days. It
would not be correct to say It has
been conquered, but Congressmen
have been Informed In detail of the
measures taken to combat the sub
marines, the success achieved, the
plans for the future, and so on. and
they have come to believe that from
now on the U-boat will go down hill
and the allied shipping will steadily
expand.
"They have got the subs beaten."
ald one member of Congress today.
"There will be submarine attacks, of
course. We will have some raiding
on this side. But the worst is over.
The British navy and the American
navy have been" doing great work In
hunting down subs. They haven't
made much noise about It, but they've
sunk & lot of them. Sims and our
fellows have made a splendid record.

"Our party talked with Sir Eric
Geddes for an hour. He spoke In the
highest terms of Sims and the Ameri
can navy."
Not enly the work of the navy In
hunting submarines but the effici
ency of the convoy system is meet
ing praise.
"I take off my hat to the navy,"
said one House member. "The sys
tern of protection for transports is
wonderful. The way in which the
destroyers swarm about the trans
ports all the way across the Atlantic
and hover about and guard them diy
and night is amazing. The officers
and men on the destroyers are using
both their heads and their guns. They
simply will not permit a transport
to take any chance. And that, of
course, is as It should be. I saw a.
transport at Southmpton about to
cross the channel- held up for twenty-
four hours and not permitted to go be
cause there was soma reason to ap
prehend submarines. Other vessels
were allowed to go, but not a trans
port. No hazards are being taken with
them either crossing the Atlantic or
the channel."
FOE ENVOY SEES ALFONSO
MADRID. Aug. 26. The German
ambassador today was received by
King Alfonso at the Santander sum
mer palace In a conference on the
U-boat controversy between Germany
and Spain.
Officials believe that the German
government exjects the negotiations
now in progr'escneeraIng safejeon
ducts, to evolve-some way in which
to limit the difficulties of Spanish
trade outside of. lie prohibited area.
It is not believed that the German
ambassador has the authority to
guarantee an exceptional treatment
in favor of Spain within the prohibit
ed area.

D.C. BUSINESS MEN
TOAID GOVERNMENT
(tontlnaed from First Pare.)
The local community labor board, on
recelrlnff Instructions to dirert un
skilled labor wherever possible,
made the mistake of officially creat
ine: a "non-essential" list. 'The wording-
should hare been different, for
high Government officials bwe
banned the hyphenated word entire
ly. Nevertheless the list remains
about the same as when made up by
the board, except that It Is no
nameless. Also there are no threats
aa to what may happen If employers
ran to co-operate.
The local board frankly admits
that It has no power of enforcing Its
decisions as to what an employer
may or may not do when asked to
part with men now under him, but
the statements made by each em
ployer are being recorded, it is
stated, and should any serious fric
tion arise the records will be trans
mitted to -higher authorities."
Bnslnrsa Km Patriotic
There is a splendid tribute to
American business men In the fact
that they bare never given much
thought to "what could be done to
them" if they failed to co-operate
with business agencies of the Gov
ernment in industrial matters. They
have promptly co-operated. If the
Government thought a thing should
be done, that was sufficient to them.
Serious though the overturning might
be they have adjusted themselves.
"There has been no spirit of an
tagonism from a single business man
wbp has talked with us," said Mr.
Kline today. "We are appealing to
employers to go as far as possible In
releasing unskilled men, and we be
lieve they are going to do It without
any thought of conflict. We are let
ting them know that there is dire
need of labor in war work field and
they understand."
Business men who have conferred
vlth (he bosrd are making clear the
kind of work they are doing, number
of men employed, the possibility of
replacing these with women or boys.
and other facts.
Employers who do not set In touch
-with the board in a reasonable time
will be visited by examiners, and the
nature of their business inquired Into
Men released by employers are ex
pected to report to the Employment
Service Bureau at 1410 Pennsylvania
avenue.
Policies Sympathetic.
The board does not propose to be
ruthless or unsympathetic In Its
policies, it was asserted today, has
no desire to cripple established In
dustry; will give an attentive ear to
the claim's of business men, but in
sists that every Industry earnestly
endeavor to release eery unskilled
workman whose services csn be dis
pensed with or nbose place csn be
filled
The program Is still In tentative
shape, no definite decisions having
been announced It will be difficult
to apply any set rules. It is stated
Two men in Identically the same
business may be handled differently.
One man may not be able to give
up any of his help, while the other
may.
It's a pretty delicate Job this board
has, and the fact that it la showing
an understanding of the difficulties
Washington business men are under
was today reassuring to the latter.

phreys questioning the soldier him
self and certain of the camp officers,
The prosecutor Is seeking to deter
mine whether the soldier was under
the influence of a drug during his
stay away from camp and whether he
was feigning when he said he could
remember but little that took place
from the time he deserted on August
3 until he surrendered on August 10.
Mr. Ford today admitted taht the
shirt which Hall claims to have worn
on the day the crime was committed
may pUy an important part In the
case. Chemists at Washington have
completed their analysis of stains
found on the shirt and a report has
been made.
The authorities are not prepared to
announce whether the stains were
blood. Hall claims the stains were
made by snuff, of which ho was a
user.
A new Elenoesrt.
A new element has entered the caoo
against HalL He has admitted that
he knew that the old Hanse house,
near the spring and tree where the
body of the girl was found, was
shortly to be occupied.
Only a few days before the crime.
Hall had personally taken a man by
the name of Daniels to look at the
house, the latter with a view to rent
ing It. A deal was made with the
owner, and Hall saw Daniels moving
a wagon load of tools and farm Im
plements into the house a day or two
prior to the killing.
The Commonwealth may hold that
the slayer of Era Roy moved the
body from the spot where the girl
was killed to a tree deeper Into the
woods to keep it from being seen by
those who were shortly to live In the
Hanse house. The spot where the
struggle between the girl and her
slayer took place Is easily seen from
the Hanse house.
Daniels postponed removing to the
house after the killing of Eva Ttoy
almost in the front yard of the place.

G. W. U. ATHLETE
DIES HERO'S DEATH
Caught In a German barrage while
raiding on the British front in France,
Roger Hlllis, captain of George Wash
ington University football team of
hit, and private In Company C,
Twenty-ninth battalion, Canadian In
tantry, was killed when a machine
gun bullet entered his heart, accord
ing to a letter from Lieut Thomas
SUUIvan. V. S. A coach of Oeorm
Washington University football team
in iv in.
Prof. DeWitt a Croissant, chair-
man ot .me student Activities Com
mlttee of George Washington Uni
versity, Is the recipient of the letter,
written by Lieutenant Sullivan from
Camp Merrltt, New Jersey where
Sullivan Is stationed after being
wounded in France.
Hlllis, who was one of the most
popular students In the university,
and member of the football, basket
ball, and baseball teams for two
years, attempted to enlist In the
American army immediately after the
close of the 1917 football season, but
was rejected. Determined to get In
a blow at the Hun the went to Can
ada and enlisted.
The missive telling of the death of
Hlllis follows:
"A few day ago I received a lat
ter from Prlrate Matthews, telling of
the death of Roger Hlllis. He was a
member of C Company, Twenty-ninth
Battalion, Canadian Infantry.
"It was on a volunteer trench raid
they were waiting In a small shell
hole for the lifting of the German
barrage when a Heine machine gun
bullet caught him through the heart.
He. died almost immediately.
"Hlllis was one of the finest ath
letes I have worked with, and he
stood for all things, good, clean, and
honorable. Ueonre Washington Uni
versity will mourn the loss of her
adopted son. Sincerely, Tom."
A gold service star has been placed
In the service flag of the Sigma Nu
fraternity, of which Hilll waa a
member while attending George
Washington University.
TO WAR ON LIVING COST
Co-operation between producer and
consumer as a working basis for re
ducing the cost of living In Washing
ton Is the theme of the convention of
the Federal Board of Farm Organiza
tions which begins tomorrow at the
Hotel Ebbltt.
If the consumer would orxanlse as
the farmer has organized, according
to R. D. Cooper, president of the
Dairymen's League in New Tork
State and vice president of the Na
tional Milk Producers' Federation,
the problem would be much easier.
The Co-operative Milk Producers'
Marketing Association markets a car
load of milk a day In Washington.
The great milk problems, according
to Mr. Cooper, are the scarcity of la
bor, the rising coat of milk produc
tion In winter time, and the haste
with which the product must be
marketed.

"We are 'American' nationalists."
Roosevelt said. "We are not Interna
UonalUts. We Intend to do Justice to
all nations, but the record of the
past four years show the Interna
tionalist, like the professed pacifists,
have played the- gams of the brutal
German -autocracy. American paci

loyalty to. our country.
"For the moment the pacifists and
Internationalists dare not be too
noisy, But when peace comes, don't
trust the pacifist. They are the ene
mies of righteousness. Don't trust
the Internationalist. They are tha
enemies of American nationalism.
"When peace come let us accett
any reasonable proposal, but let us
remember that any promise that a
league of nations or other machinery
will definitely do away with war i
nonsense or sheer hypocrisy,"
The Colonel indorsed obligatory
