LONDON, June 18. No Kronter
euro und st'itrivy couUl attend the
bhipment of rovnl jewels tlmn is ob
served in Nhinninjc Amerionn troons to
Frunee. To safeguard Ins boys, Un
cle Sam takes every possible precau
tion, from the time tliey embark un
til the transport lias reached its des
tination, lie if aves no loophole for
the machinations of eiiemv agents.
Usually, us n result of this elab
orate protective system, the trip from
"An Atlantic I'm't" to the French or
English port, as the case muv he, is
rimurkably uneventful. All elements
of danger have been so enrefullv an
ticipated that the risk is reduced to
the lowest minimum.
Socrccy (iuuids Snlliiif;
Until the troops anil civilian pas
Rimrers have reached the pier they do
not know the name of their ship. It is
onlv n number to them. On the regu
lar troopships it is difficult lor u
civilian, unless he is cnmi-icd in war
work, to secure a passage. Those w ho
do so arc subjected to close scrutiny,
ind their credentials and lunuae are
tl.oroughlv examined.
Kmburkation often bciiins several
days before the transport sails. AM
pood-l'js have been said before the
troops start for the ship. Xo rela
tive or friend may accompany thciu
to the pier. This rule aixilics to the
GU1CC13 as well us to the men.
Once aboard, there they remain, no
shore communication bciacr permitted:
This regulation imposes no liaidsbii
other tliaii inactivity. Until all troops
Lnve been assigned to iiuartcrs tun!
organization has been effected, the
men uie left pretty much to their own
devices. .
, No Mall Itestrielions
No restriction is placed on writing;,
and bags arc kept open for soldiers'
mail up to almost the hour of sailing.
This privilege gives ninny a chance to
get off neglected letters and post
curds, nltlioiiuh these, ns n matter of
precaution, are not put into the mails
until the ship has passed through the
submarine zone.
The troops also lake advantage of
nil' arrangement devised by the gov
ernment for the sending "safe arri
val" messages, ,'fclegaiiis or post
cards advising family and friends
that the writer has imide the trip in
safety may be prepared in advance
and left in charge of the authorities
nt the port of sailing. As soon as
word is received by cable of the ship's
arrival on the other side, the tele
grams and cards are released to the
wires and mails. Not only is much
time saved by this plan, but the sol
diers are spared the high cost of ca
bling ,from Furope.
With the exception of the ship's
executives and the officers in mili
tary command, no one aboard knows
the hour fixed for sailing, and this
becomes a favorite topic for specula
tion among the men. Hut finally the
Inst soldier tins come up the gang
plank and the last piece of freight has
been stowed away. A busy little tug
appears alongside and begins to nose
the vessel like a terrier investigating
a greyhound. '

WASHINGTON, Juno 18. Take It
from Thomas R. Marshall that noth
ing the world-war has developed has
made necessary or advisable any wid
ening or broadening of the powers of
the vice-president of the . United
States.
And Tom Marshall ought to know
because he has been vice presldenting
for five years now; Is the only man
re-olectod to the Job since the early
ages; and it he lives will have served
longer than any man since Calhoun.
I put this question to him:
Query ami .Answer
"Don't you think the war has dem
onstrated tho necessity for having the
vice president sit, us a matter of
course, with the president nt his cab
inet meetings and don't you think
the vice president ought by law to be
armed with the power to get up on
the floor of the senate to defend and
explain cabiuot ministers' acts when
unjustly attacked? We have had ex
amples during this war when sena
tors have made, liefore large aud
iences of congress and public, widely-
advertised attacks upon cabinet mem
bers anil it has been only after days
of inquiry and preparation that sena
tors friendly to those ministers have
been able to get the facts and present
the other side. If the vice president
were always in the cabinet meetings
he would bo fully conversant with all
tho moves and prepared instantly to
reply to unjust attacks and Insinuations."
Tho vico president's answer was
somewhat complete.
It was "No!"
Snggcsls ('Images
"I think It would ho a good thing
though; If the cabinet ministers, who
under our form of government are
really executive secretaries, were
given tho power to come on the floor
of the house and senate and explain
personally the needs of their depart
ments. They should also be subject
to cross-examination by the members.
Ill that way, thru personal contact,
public business could bo transacted
more quickly.
'There is only one thing I think
should be granted to vico presidents.
John Adams and John Calhoun as
sumed that they were privileged to
take the floor just like the senators
j and did so. No one has done so
since. Iteing neither theatrical nor
pyrotechnlcal I have not attempted to
resume the function. However 1
have, perhaps, 20 times seen oppor
tunities where I could have taken the
floor and explained some important
topic. It would not be necessary to
have a constitutional amendment to
give tho vice president that power.
Ml that would be required would be
an amendment to tho senate rules."

NEW YORK, Juno IS. Jeremiah
A. O'Leary, Sinn Fein leader who
was arrested In Washington stale last

Since his disappearance from New
York on May 7 O'l.cnry has been in
dicted witli two German subjects and
four other Americans for complicity

Supreme test of mother love shown
in "The Wanderer." Wonderful act
ing of Nance O'N'utl in the great IJiu-
lical play at the Page. The talk of
Broadway.
Xo play in many years lias brought
forth such superb acting anil sm-h an
assemblage of big stars as will be
seen now at the Page theater Satur
day, June 22, in tho performance of
the great liihlii-ul drama, "The Wan
derer." In this constellation of sfais.
where there are many famous play
nrx, it senilis difficult to think that
any one of the players Hhimlil rise
to superb heights above the work of
the other talented artists. Yet tln
achievement of Nance O'Neil us the
mother in "Tho Wanderer" will live
long In theatrical history ns one of
the greatest and moat sublime por
trayals ever recorded In tho history
of tho theater.
The great themo of "The Wander
er" is mothcr-loYo. It deals in dra
matic fashion with tho story of the
Prodigal Ron. his headstrong resolvo
to demand his portion and go forth
Into the world, and his trials and
temptations while away from the pro
tec'ing influence of homo. The story
of course Is taken from the IHblo, as
narrated in the (ispoel of SV Luke.
Yet it is just as true today as it
ever was, because New York or any
modern big city might easily exert
the samo influence upon tho aver
age young man that the call of Jeru
salem exerted upon the shepherd boy
Jet her, in "Tho Wanderer," as tho
story shows, 3000 years ago.
