A. R. Hopkins, a former resident of
| Galveston, who has been fighting in
| France with the Canadian expedition-
ary forces for the last three years, was
a visitor in Galveston today. He lived
here a number of years ago,and was
at one time United States commission-
i er in Galveston.
He tells some very interesting sto-
ries of his experiences in Flanders and
France. “I was given a sixty-day fur-
lough a short time ago,” he said, “after
having participated in the fighting
during the recent German offensive.
I have seen more horrors, and espe-
cially examples of German atrocities,
than I care to tell about. For one who
has seen what they have done, it is
enough that he wishes for a hundred
' lives to lose in defeating them.”
(. He described the great care taken in
in the vast armies of Great Britain and
' keeping up the records of all the men
I the other allies. Everything is han-
, died most efficiently, he says. He dis-
- played his identification disks, pay
{ book, etc., in telling of this phase of
, the war. He has been twice wounded
J and gassed once, but expects to get
& back into the fighting at the expira-
, tion of his furlough.

ment of the call to military service—-
exemption and the order numbers as-
signed by lot. The exemptions them-
selves fall into two conspicuous cate-
gories—dependency and industrial em-
ployment. One protects domestic rela-
tions, the other the economic interest
of the nation. Between the two there
there is an inevitable hiatus, for it is
demonstratably true that thousands, if
not millions, of dependency exemptions
have no effect on industrial protection
whatever.
“One of the unanswerable criticisms
of the draft has been that it takes
men from the farms and from all use-
ful employments and marches them
past crowds of idlers and loafers away
to the army. The remedy is simple—
to couple the industrial basis with
other grounds for exemptions and to
require that any man pleading exemp-
tion on any ground shall also show
that he is contributing effectively to
the industrial welfare of the nation.
“The regulation itself makes plain
the determination of the war depart-
ment. The great organization of local
and district boards which has already
accomplished a notable work may be
relied upon to catch the spirit of the
movement and so reliable needed man-
power will soon be flowing into the
fields of useful endeavor or into the
other direction of military strength.”
Shipping Situation.
By Associated Press.
London, May 23.—The enemy is de-
stroying British, allied and neutral
tonnage at the rate of about 3,500,000
tons yearly, while Great Britain and
1 her allies and the neutral countries
will very soon be producing tonnage
at the rate of about 4,000,000 tons
.yearly, writes Archibald Hurd, the
naval expert, in the Daily Telegraph.
That favorable situation, he declares,
should be reached in a few weeks and
; thenceforward the upward curve in
favor of the allies should proceed in a
manner to convince the Germans of
their failure.

Takes Part in Services, on Red Cross
Night.
A band concert by the Coast Artil-
lery band from Fort Crockett, conduct-
ed by Band Leader Green, was the fea-
ture of last night’s meeting at the
patriotic religious services at Thirty-
first street and Avenue P. A large
crowd gave generous applause for the
soldier bandmen’s effort. At the con-
clusion of the service the audience
sang “America.” the band accompany-
ing. The final number was the "Star
Spangled Banner.”
A feature of the service was the in-
formal reception accorded the soldiers
by many of the fathers and mothers
present. One big tall Texan lad said:
“Say, this seems good to have some-
body greet you like this.”
Last night was Red Cross night'
Evangelist Holderby preached,on the
subject, “The Supreme Sacrifice.” It
was counted by many present as one
of the best portrayals of the respon-
sibility of American citizenship to sup-
port war measures that has yet been
heard in Galveston. Applause fre-
quently broke into his rapid-fire de-
livery, showing his points were tell-
ingly put.
Evangelist Theodore Osborn was
present at the services and was intro-
duced to the audience. The Rev. Mr.
Osborn commences his work of con-
ducting the services beginning next
Monday night. Mrs. Theodore Doon
Callahan, who is the music leader of
the work, was also presented, respond-
ing in gracious manner and quite win-
ning those present.
Mrs. Minerva Neal Holderby spoke
today at the Model Laundry to the
women at the noon hour. This service
concludes the work Mrs. Holderby has
been doing in co-operation with the
Y. W. C. A. extension department un-
der Secretary Miss Brown. Work with
the Osborn party will, however, be
continued with both the Y. W. C. A.

Between Arras and the Somme where
there has been no heavy fighting in
six weeks the British and Germans are
carrying out raids, evidently for the
purpose of gaining information as to
their opponent’s plans. North of Al-
bert, the Germans have been repulsed
in an attempt to rush the British po-
sitions southeast of Mesnil. Further
north. Field Marshal Haig’s men con-
tinue their raids and have penetrated
to enemy lines near Hebuterne as well
as at other points southwest of Ar-
ras.
On the French front and on the
American sectors, as the British front,
the lull is unbroken and even raiding
has quieted down. British airplanes are
harassing seriously German airdromes
and billets behind the lines in Flanders
and Picardy. The Germans are seeking
unavailingly to check the British and
in aerial fighting Tuesday, eighteen
enemy machines, sixteen of which were
destroyed, were accounted for by the
British. At night the enemy is raiding
behind the British lines and two of his
machines were brought down by gun
fire Tuesday. Far to the rear of the
German line British squadrons have
visited Eastern Belgium and the River
Rheine. Three fires resulted from
bombs dropped on a chloride factory
at Mannheim and large conflagrations
were caused on railroad property near
Liege, Belgium. Bombs were dropped
on railway stations at Metz and Thion-
ville.
Northwest of Toul American aviators
are busily engaged, but although they
took part in several aerial contests
Wednesday no more enemy machines
have been brought down. Lively fight-

v. T. RENNIE, GeneralAgent
Following another conference re-
garding the observance of Memorial
Day, May 30, the board of directors of
the Galveston Merchants’ association
decided this morning that they would
recommend no change in the .plans
from those decided upon yesterday.
These plans called for the retail stores
of the city to remain closed until 1 p.
m. in observance of Memorial Day.
Today’s conference was the result
of a request made by the Rotary club
yesterday that the places of business
remain closed all day. The merchants
today took up the matter with minis-
ters who are arranging for Memorial
Day services and were informed that
the arrangement calling for the stores
to remain closed until 1 p. m. met with
their entire approval.
Result of Food Administration Hearings
( at Galveston Announced.
Special to The Tribune.
Houston, May 23.—The following
memorandum is issued by the federal
food administrator for Texas:
In the matter of the hearings held
by the federal food administrator on
May 16th at Galveston, it is my judg-
ment that the Busy Bee Cafe and the
Niagara Cafe, both located in the city
of Galveston, have violated the rules
and regulations of the United States
food administration relating to the ob-
servance of wheatless days; and, .that
the Elite Cafe has violated the rules
and regulations of the United States
food administration in serving and
using excessive quantities of sugar.’
It is possible that either or all of
said violations were due to ignorance
or carelessness, but the fact remains
that the violations occurred and that
as a result the supplies of wheat for
the army and the allies have been di-
minished to that extent and it is my
duty to vindicate the rules and regu-
lations whenever a violation thereof is
made even though the violation may
have been unintentional.

Hearings of six cases by Judge Ire-
land Graves, law enforcement depart-
ment of the federal food administra-
tion for Texas, was concluded last
yesterday afternoon. The eases were
those of bakers in which the allega-
tions was that the proper amount of
substitutes had not been used in the
baking of victory bread. The finding
in these cases will be made after Judge
Graves has gone over the testimony
with E. A. Peden, federal food ad-
ministrator for Texas.
Besides the evidence in these cases
many items of interest to the bakers
were developed. There were a goodly
number present yesterday in addition
to those whose cases were under in-
vestigation.
R. A. Parker of the state food al-
ministration and Judge Graves laid em-
phasis upon the request of the govern-
ment that bakers confine themselves
to the production of 12-ounce loaves.
“You understand, of course,” said
Mr. Parker, in addressing the bakers,
"that so far there is no regulation re-
quiring the production of a 12-ounce
loaf only. I believe, however, that
when you understand that it is the
'wish of the government that only this
sized loaf be baked that you are good
enough Americans to comply with the
request.
"Reports received in Washington
show that the production of the 12-
ounce loaf actually results in a saving
of about 14 per cent in flour in the
production of a specific quantity of
bread. This in itself should be an in-
ducement to you,to adopt the 12-ounce
loaf. I suggest that none of you wait
for the other baker to abandon the 16-
ounce loaf. The public will soon learn
that those bakers who are .complying
with the government’s request in this
regard are the patriotic bakers and the
ones to be patronized."
In discussing the new rule which
forbids public eating places from serv-
ing wheat in any form at any time,
Judge Graves said: “Some people con-
tend that they can not eat corn bread.
All I can say to that is that such a
person has not been really hungry.
Maybe a little real hunger would do
them good and enable them to appre-
ciate good corn bread.”
It was also developed during the
session yesterday that palatable vic-
tory bread can be made by using the
proper amount of substitutes. Mr.
Parker called the attention of the
bakers present that in case they were
having difficulty that they could go to
the Gengler company bakery, get the
proper formula and see the actual
operation. “There are no secrets in
baking these days,” said Mr. Parker.
“The Gengler comapny is willing to
co-operate with you and assist you in
every way in the production of whole-
some bread.”

Waukesha, Wis., May 23.—Grace
Lusk again took the witness stand to-
day to continue her story of events
which led up to the killing of Mrs.
Mary Newman Roberts for which she
is on trial here.
In resuming her story this morning,
Miss Lusk testified that Dr. Roberts,
during the summer of 1914, often took
her motoring with friends. In the fall,
she said, he telephoned asking her, to
call at his office to help him with a
cattle book he was writing. She, in-
stead, asked him to meet her in her
office in the Y. M. C. A., which he did.
As a result of this conference, Dr.
Roberts called at Miss Lusk’s office
several times a week, bringing her
manuscript to edit.
In January, she said, Dr. Roberts told
her that his business profits had drop-
ped six or seven thousand dollars dur-
ing 1914 and remarked:
“You won’t care for me as a friend
if I lost my money.”
“Most of my friends are poor,” she
answered.
In March, 1915, she said *she was
seated at her desk working on Dr.
Roberts’ manuscript when he leaned
over and kissed her.
She declared she protested and he
kissed her again.
“Later he asked me if I cared for
him,” she said, “and I told him that he
was married. He said that there was
no' love nor happiness in the hearts
of either his wife or himself and that
he would like to be free, but could
not as in the eyes of the law she was
a model wife. He then asked for my
love.” ,
Miss Lusk said she first met Dr.
Roberts at a dinner party. which he
attended with his wife late in January
or early in February, 1913. Later they
met at church socials which Dr. Rob-
erts attended with his wife. The wit-
ness described her health during this
period as poor, due largely to over-
work, and declared she was frequently
unable to attend to her duties because
of severe headaches.
Futures closed very steady.
