According to a rablcrram from the
f nlted Statss consul ganaral at lAndon.
which was Included In a message sent
by Secretary Bryan to Congresaman
Poter F. Tague of this city, at least flf.
teen youths have been enlisted in viola
lion of agreement with the British Board
of Trade regarding the United States
shipping Jaws. These and other rases
are being Inquired into, it is understood.
Pecrtt serlce agents ore co-operating
with United States District Attorney As-
dorson and hie staff en order from Wash
ington to learn what Inducements, if any,
have been offered youths to ship on
British vtaels as earetaksre for horses
and cattls.
In the case of the fifteen who left this
port on the Leyland liner Cambrian, on
May 8, the consul general found that all
had signed preliminary enlistment papers
before his agent could board the steamer
on its arrival In London.
Sines the outbreak of the war several
hundred young men have shipped out
of this port en steamers used as horse
trsneports by ths remount division of the
British army. F"ew have returned ac

epefidlng up of the output of shells and
other materials required by the army,
David Lloyd Oeorge, the new munitions
minister, addressed meetings hers today
of employes and employers.
He urged, upon tho workmen that for
thn duration of the war union regulatlona
should be suspended, so that every avail
able, man and woman could bs employed
In the necessary work.
"If every trade unionist." Mr. Lloyd
George told the workmen, "was brougnt
baok from ths front, and if they worked
to the utmost limits of human endurance,
there would not be enough labor to pro
duce what the government is asking to
have produced during ths pest few
month"
Mr, Lloyd George added that as gov
eminent red tape had been cut. he trade
unionists also must relax their rulee.
The country, he said, was demanding as
a matter of right, and not as a matter
of appeal, that every one of its cltlsens
should do his beet, snd he did not be
lieve that there was any objeotion to It

FRENCH VIEW OF SITUATION
(Correapondence of the Associated Press.)
PARIS. May K-Thre hundred million
dollars lost by the textile tnduatrles of
northern France In raw materials and
manufactured products taken by the Ger
mane as booty of war-that Is the estl
mats given The Aaeociatod Press by an
authorised member c"J the most Influen
tial textile corporation ta France and an
authority on Industrial subjects.
What the total loas. lm.'.'Jdng damages
to plants and to buildings, may amount
to, there are no Indications, for many
rumors of the transferring of valuable
machlnca to Germany have not been
confirmed. The feregolng estimate is
based on confirmed fact only. It mors
than bears out the estimate of ths Ger
man publicist, Ludwlg Ganghofar, who
after a vtait to ths German front, told
the Muenrhne'r Neueate Naohrichten that
the war booty sent from northern France
to Germany In (he form of cereals, sugar,
metals, wool, leather, etc., amounted to
IMO.OOO.OOO during the flret alx months of
the war. It Is supposed that his flg
uroe ware based on the requisition prloe
said to be very Inferior to the market
value. On the latter basis the actual
total would be far in ixiesa of the Ger
man figures; the estimate for the tex
tile Industries alone would so Indicate.
Utrmaai Took Ran Material.
It la knoan that '.he Germans took
nearly all the raw material and finished
goods tn the great woolen manufacturing
renters of l.a Cotesu, Roubaix and
Tourcolng, where Amenta buys heavily
of ths finer woolen fabrics , Ttuy also
emptied the linen fattorlca, with the
exception of those at Avmentlcre. where
they were driven back too aoor., and
at I.llla, where they have recently be
jgun to requisition these piodurts.
The territory occupied by ths Germane
contain more than W per cent of the
atoolan and linen industries of Franoe;
the consequence is a shortage of all
these products. 'The-suing la sesklng
hundreds of thousands ef yards of csn-
ivas'for tenia that these Industries are
unable to supuly. t'otton, tried as a sub
jatltuto, proved uiiMtisf actoi y.
I "The financial piotl.ni rvaultiao; from
this state ut things," ' according to this
'autlturily, "will require most scrloue
aludy aiur the war. A commercial and
Industrial activity jin.u as we have
nvvrr aeen will tte wltiwsseil in France,

"Another great difficulty is In the re

two years for machine constructors to
furnish whst we shall require. Perhaps
ws shall have to call upon tbs Amerl

manufacturers and workers so strong a

Workers on Canal
Want to Work for
Uncle Sam in Alaska
(Correspondence ef the Associated Press.)
PANAMA, May .-Many ef the work
ers on the Panama canal, after several
years of troptaai life, are now anxious
to go to Alaska, where the United States
government Is undertaking to build a
railroad. A short time ago, when H. F.
Warren, representing the Alaskan Rail
way commission, arrived en tho isthmus
to purchase machinery no longer useful
en the canal work, he waa ewamped with
applications for positions In Alaska.
Many of the canal workers aie tired
ef the tropica, or what U the same, be
lieve thew are and are willing to risk
the rigors of an Alaskan winter for the
sake of change. Immediately after his
arrival, however. Mr. Warren made It
plain that hero would not be many posi
tions open in Alaska, lie told canal work
ers that living eoadltiona are far from
easy and that the construction gangs
would not find the same treatment In
Alaska that he had i-eoelved at Panama
for the last oleven years, although work
ing for the same government. Positions
are going to be scasce for awhile, he
said, because not nearly so large a fores
will be needed as waa employed at
l'aneina.
Ths government hss svnt out a warn
ing against any rush Into the territory
this season as the work by no means
Justine one. Moreover, the majority of
tho workers will have to beprepared to
leturn to the United Suites each fall, as
tho winters are so severe that little out
side work csn be done.
Many of the locomotives thit were
used tn the construction of the i'ansma
canal eventually will do duty on the
Alaakan project. They will have to" he
altered from a five-foot gauge to tae
standard of four feet and eignl Indies,
and this work Is now be'ng done In the
canal machine ships. Many other
machines also have bea purchased by
Mr. Warren and shlppe I north to begin
among Enfcllsh women and has broken
uown the rormer prejudice against what
are popularly and contemptuously known
us "hen parties." Numerous clubs have
sprung up, such as the Lady Workers'
club for lonely women earning moderate
salaries. This club keeps open from 4 to
j o'clock on work days and from I to
o'clock on Saturdays and Sundays. Its
oojects arc purely the cultivation of
friendship, 'without' bride or any kind
of propaganda.
