The Merchants association of New ; York and the Brooklyn Chamber. of Commerce have joined hands with the Central Trades and Labor Council | and’ the ‘Building Trades Council to formulate a practical program. These | organizations believe the situation can be'met partly by pushing buildng pro- jects, thus giving employment to thousands. The program of the ex-service man is at the heart of the entire situa- tion, said Major ‘William P. Deegan of the American Legion, one of the mem- bers: of the Mayor's committee. ‘He said 00 former soldiers were out of. work during the summer and he fears the number will be increased to between 100,000 and 125,000 by mid- winter. ““We have no funds to help them,” he,‘said, “but we never let a man go away without help, even if we have to dig in our own pockets to help them.” ‘Down on the crowded East Side, | the Bowery lodging houses are al- ready filled to capacity each night. “Men out of work are sleeping every- | where in the open, in vry park, 1on very pier, in-allys, in storeyards and anyplace they can huddle out of the way and rest,” said Major Under- wood of the Salvation Army. “They capnot do so when it becomes cold.” '|Every Day Is Like ~ Fourth In Heligoland Holigoland, Sept. 19—Every day is a: Fourth of July celebration on the little rock island of Heligoland.

It stands near- ly 200 feet above the water of the North Sea at a point 31 miles north- west of Cuxhaven, the entrance to the Kiel Canal. The walls of the is- land are practically perpendicular but at its south-eastern end is a small beach upon which the German navy erected a coaling and oil station, fresh-water reservoirs, seaplane sheds and docks. ‘Here salso was constructed a naval harbor thoroughly protected by seawalls, which was capable of accommodating eight or ten destroyers of crusers and an unlimited number of submarines. 1 From this harbor many destroyers sailed out to participate in the Battle of Jutland and the Battle of Heligo- land Bight. The eGrman Admiralty converted Holigoland into a sort of shore battle ship. Three great . batteries were planted in the rock in a manner which gives the cliff the appearance of the interior of a four-deck battle- ship. Already the 11-inch guns and their carriages have been sawed into small ‘bits and thrown into scrap steel piles. Workmen are now plying electrical drills in the concrete walls and bases, preparatory to shooting down all the masonry. The seaplane sheds, coalbins, oil tanks and water reservoirs, along the seafront have also been burned and dynamited and hundreds of workmen are grinding away at the gun bases of the sealevel guns and the foundations of the great seawall enclosing the naval harbor, preparatory to remov- ing every improvement which might be of use to Germany’s future navy. Heligoland once was a _ popular summer resort but the German visit- ors do not stay long at the island this year, because of the constant blasting and the evidences of devastation which affords ‘a sad monument to Ger- many’s once proud navy. The native residents of the island are indifferent to the devastation, as most of them were born under the British flag, be- fore Holegoland was transferred by the British to the Germans. OIL CONTAMINATES NEW YORK HARBOR New York, Sept. 19—Shipping in- terests have heeded persistent warn- ings that unless something is done © stop the pollution of New York harbor by oil waste from steamers the great- est port in the world will be menaced ‘by danger. of a great conflagration. They have formed a committee to see that the harbor is cleansed of this peril. Great pools have collected in many of the’harbor basins, and wooden piers have become soaked with the oil. Un- derwriters and ‘firemen here remark, that water would be of little good in fighting such a fire, as it would make the burning oil spread farther. Many plans for disposal have been offered. One would ask Congress to make appropriations for enforcement of the statute prohibiting ‘the casting of troublesome ofl upon the waters. Another would request the city to en- force the ordinance providing barges to carry off the oil. terms of..the Versailles Treaty will | How. to dispose of the waste even | Pre-War Prices Beaten Chassis,” we: #590; now $485 Touring,” we: 695; nw 595 Roadster,’ we: 695; nw 595 Coupe,” Sedan,” was 1000; now 850 was 1275; now 895 *Prices f. 0. b.

For the oil would come back, just like the cats people try to get rid of by taking them to the country. Shipping men, however, ex- press the belief that a profitable means of utilizing the waste will be found. Representatives of the national ‘board of fire under writers have in- formed the committee that the pro- blem of eliminating similar danger in European harbors had interested the governments of Great Britain, France and Italy, and that they were working on possible solutions. The washed democracy of New York also has sent up-a wail of pro- test against dirty habits the steam- ships have gotten into since oil large- ly supplanted coal as fuel.
