Boots’ Bombs Out of
Camp at the Front
(By International News Service.)
MONTGOMERY, ALA., Feb. 16,
“You gotta quit kickin' our bombs
around,” sang Missourl regulars I
and volunteers with the Ameri- |
can engineer division, when a
young sergeant of St. Louls, for
mer football star of an Ameri
can university, placed his toe be
hind a bomb and lifted it into the |
air and out into the woods on the |
side of the American camp. |
The story is told in a letter re
ceived by a Montgomery woman
from her brother, who is serving {
with the engineers in France.
Here 18 the story:
“We were on fatigue after the
mess on January ... About twen
ty Missour!i boys were gathered
in a group winging college songs
and otherwise enjoying the brief
rest. All of a sudden a big, round
black article, much resembling
the old-time football, dropped in
the center of the Missouri bunch.
“It stuck, making a small dent
in the ground. Sergeant ........,
who used to play gquarter on a
college eleven, calmly stepped up,
placed his toe nicely under the
bomb, swung his body gracefully
forward and the missile sailed
through the alr like a football, al
though not as swift.
“The missile landed in a small
piece of woods, some 20 yards to
the side, and exploded. No dam
age was done, except for the
scattering of weeds. It was a
German bomb and tne Missouri
quarterback’s toe carried it away
from the danger line for the
Americans.
“One of the Missour! men
shouted: ‘Out of bounds,’ and the
others took up Champ Clark's
‘houndog’ parody, using the words
‘You gotta quit kickin® our
bombs around.’”

BAKER AT CAMP CORDON
Mrs. H. H. Hirsch, accused in the
half-million-dollar blackmail plot
against Mayor Asa G. Candler, Sat
urday remained a prisoner in the
Tower despite an offer of bond by
friends of her husband, prominent
local insurance agent, who, is was
made known, had wired from Pitts
burg, Pa., urging that his wife's re
lease on bond be obtained immedi
ately. The bond is $5,000, which
amount was fixed by Solicitor John
A. Boykin when the Grand Jury in
dictments were returned against Mrs.
Hirsch and *“Handsome Bill” Cook,
accused as her confederate. Mrs.
Hirsch positively declined to accept
the chance for freedom.
Hirsch, who has been in Pittsburg
for several days on business with the
headquarters of hig Jnsurance ageney,
Saturaly also sent another telegram
to certain of his close friends in At
lanta, expressing that she “be given
his love.”
Hirsch, following news given him
in Pitsburg of his wife's predica
ment, Baturday was speeding toward
Atalnta to make a careful investiga
tion on his own account and to id
her. He will arrive Saturday night.
‘ln both of the messages to his friends
here the husband has indicated be
yond question that he is ready to
stand by her in her fight through the
courts. :
Triai of Pair is Set. ey
The trial of Mrs. Hirsch and Cook
is set for next Wednesday week in
Judge Ben Hill's division of Criminal
Court. This was determined at a
conterepce Saturday of Solicitor Boy- ‘
kin, Assistant BSolicitor E. A. Ste
phens and Attorney Reuben R. Ar-I
nol, counsel for Mayor Candler, with
Judge Hill at the courthouse. There
had been some question as to wheth
er Judge Hill would try the case, or
order it transferred to the city Crim
inal Court for trial before Judge Andy
Calhoun, which tribural is the regu
lar misdemeanor court, but Judge Hill,
‘after hearing from the prosecuting
counsel, agreed to try it. The charge
agiinst the accused pair is a misde
meanor, for the reason that the al
leged attempt to blackmail was made
verbally ard not in writing.
| Following the receipt of the first
telegram from Hirsch, several of his
friends held a conference and prompt
‘ly agreed to put u.pthe required $5,-
900 bond. These friends then visited
the Tower and acquanted Mrs. Hirsch
with her husband's request and their
willingness to act immediately to free
her, but she declined the offer.
“I appreciate the loyalty of my hus-
Ibtnd and the interest being shown in
‘me by his trfenda, but I have deter
'mined to remaln in jall—at least un
til my huvsband arrives,” the young
woman was sald to have remarked.
No amount of persuasion was able
to bring about a change of purpose,
and the movement had to be aban
'doned.
I It was learned Saturday that the
State has obtained still further evi
'dence bearing on the alleged close
Irelations of Mrs. Hirsch and Cook
'prior to the exposure of the alleged
plot.
More Evidence Sought.
This evidence has to do with the
time, a few months ago, when Mrs.
Hirsch was operated on at the Davis-
Fischer Sanitarium. According to the
information in the hands of the pros
ecuting attorneys, Cook was unusu
lally attentive to Mrs. Hirsch, visit
ing her, it was sald, from one to
three times each day.
| One or more nurses in the sanita
' rium, it was expected, might be
called on to tell of these hospital
visits.
Mrs. Hirsch Saturday had jail of
ficials telephone to Dr. J. Sprole Ly
' ons, pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, and request him to come to
|the Tower for a conference with her,
| She gave no intimation as to why
' she wished to talk to Dr. Lyons. Mrs.
' Hirsch is a member of the First Pres
byterian Church. Dr. Lyons called
at the jail and talked with her the
day following her arrest, he being
the only caller she has received.

Young Woman Ordered
.
To Leave City Wants
Judge to Pay Car Fare
Bertha Thomas came to At
lanta a week ago to find work,
she told Judge Johnson. But it
appears she did not find work,
and her methods of searching for
it did not appeal to the court. So
Judge Johnson in the Recorder’s
Court Saturday morning told her
to go hack to her home In Green
ville, 8. C.,, and make another
start. ‘
“How about you paying my way
home?” Bertha inquired, some
what impertinently.
“The only way that can be ar
ranged i{s for me to get you a job
at the stockade and let you work
for your ticket,” the Recorder
told her. This plan did not ap
peal to Miss Thcmas, who finally
admitted that she had sufficient
money for transportation.
| To make this quite certain, the
| court detailed Detective Shaw to
act as escort to Miss Thomas to
the Terminal Station and there
be an official witness to the pur
~ chase of the ticket, her embarka
~ tlon on the proper train, and the
I,,domtmn{ the sald train in the

Ship Workers Make
Big Bet With Magnate
(By International News Service.)
SBAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.—The
Threatened strike of shipyard workers
on the Atlantic Coast may mean $20,000
for employees of the Union Iron Works
here. The men have a bet of that sum,
which they have subscribed themselves,
with J. W, Powell, vice president of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation
that they will turn out more torpedo
boat destroyers for war use than wllrthe
Fore River Shipbuilding Company, ot
Quincy, Mass.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Between
8,00 and 10,000 workmen employed in
shipbuilding plants in the New York
district refused to return to work
today, according to John Stewart, or
ganizer of the Marine Wood Workers
District Council. His reports were
incomplete.
Every shipyard on the Atlantic
coast will be affected by the strike
union leaders declare. Navy yards
however, will continue to work as
usual, as they have a special agree
ment with the men to continue at
work.
Should the strike last three days,
aprpoximately 115,000 shipyard work
ers will be affected, it was sald. At
present the strike only affects join
ers, shipbuilders, carpenters, calkers
sparmakers, boat builders and rig
gers.
The Government threat of con
scripting strikers for military service
apparently has had little effect on
union officials. They declare that If
the Government decides to take
skilled shipworkers and make sol
diers of them they were willing, but
as long as they were to be employed
in the shipyards they would “insist
on justice.”
Before Drafting Men
(By Internationai News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—1 f the
present shipbuilding crisis makes nec
essary the drafting of labor for ship
yards, Secretary of Labor Wilson de
clared today that “the shipyards
themselves must be drafted.”
“l 1 am opposed,” he sald, “to draft
ing labor for private employers. If
it becomes necessary to draft labor
we must also draft the plants.”
The Secretary appeared before the
House public bulldings committee in
support of the administration muni
tion plant housing bill. He belleved
the bill should have been left in the
tands of the ccmmittee on labor, but
said the public building committee
“geems to nave an open mind; it is
neither friendly nor hostile.”
Provost Marshal General Crowder’s
threat to withdraw deferred classifi
cation given shipbuilders who are
now on strike, placing them in class
1, Secretary Wilson sald he could not
discuss. He indicated, however, he
would be opposed to carrying such a
threat into action, fearing the whole
shipbuilding c¢rganization might be
disrupted thereby.
Permanent Houses Needed.
He explained to the committee that
much of the housing proposed would
be permanent construction, that would
be sold to workmen after the war on
easy terms. He emphasized that
“nothing was farther from his
thought” than te propose as a per
manent governmental policy that
housing be provided for all Govern
ment employees.
Fdward Filene, of Boston, a director
of the United States Chamber of Com
merce, told the committea it was the
emphatic opinion of American busi
ness men that the Government must
provide housing at munition plants.
“You can’'t teach men spiritual
truths,” he said, “you {can't teach
them patriotism, when th}'vy are starv
ing. I don’'t mean they are starving
for food, but they are literally starv
ing for tolerable living conditions.”
Chairman Edward N. Hurley, of the
Shipping Board, will “sit tight” in
his dealings with William L. Hutche
son, president of the International
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, who has declared himself helpless
to prevent a general strike of ship
workers in the Eastern shipyards, it
was learned this afternoon.
While Shipping Board officials shy
at the term “fight,” as applied to the
attitude of the Government toward
the leader of the carpenters, ship-
