CAN GET 15,000 A MONTH Washington, August 8 Extension of the draft system to the Navy is not regarded as necessary at this time by the Navy Department, Rear Admiral Palmer, chief of the Bureau of Navigation, told the Senate Military Committee today.

The Navy has practically all the men it needs and that enlistments would not be affected by changing the Army draft ages. Enlistments in the Navy now total approximately 430,000 men, said Admiral Palmer, who represented Secretary Daniels before the committee in response a request that a representative of the Navy advise the committee regarding the advisability of amending the pending administration man power bill so as to apply the draft system alike to the Army and Navy. Admiral Palmer explained that enlistments in the Navy just now are principally to provide crews for the merchant marine and that about 000 men have been accepted for that purpose. Even if the present bill is enacted, he said, the Navy would have no difficulty in recruiting 15,000 men a month for the merchant marine and for other purposes. The Navy Department is already working in conjunction with the War Department regarding enlistments, the committee was told, and will continue to do so whatever may be done about the draft ages.

She asks that her alimony be fixed at $12,000 yearly, the sum which, she declares, was regularly given to her for household expenses previous to their domestic disputes. Mrs.

Dumarest, in her complaint, names specific instances of alleged cruelty on the part of her husband and also identifies a woman with whom she charges Dumarest on several occasions was guilty of misconduct.

There has been no soft hitting on the part of the Americans thus far, nor any inclination in 'that direction.

"The Germans asked for a rough war, and, by heaven, we are here to see that they get it!" is the remark of one American soldier reported by the correspondent, who says that the Gerwho fought in the Marne salient doubtless realize that fact.

Downtown Office: Astor Trust Office: 16 Wall Street 5th Ave. at 42nd Street BANKERS TRUST COMPANY Member Federal Reserve System 2,800,000 Passengers a Day Is B.R.T.'s Hot Wave Record The Brooklyn Rapid Transit, in al statement issued today, calls attention to the fact that "even with depleted numbers of employees, it has transported during each of the last two days in the neighborhood of 2,800,000 passengers. This closely approximates the number of passengers carried by all the steam railroads of the United States on an average day of 1914-the last figures available. Of course," says the statement, "such a tremendous and abnormal volume of traffic as was carried by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines could not be transported with the uncompleted subway facilities and with the shortage of employees now prevailing without much congestion and discomfort to its passengers. "Some idea of the gravity of the shortage of employees on the surface lines may be gathered from the fact that in this department alone 500 more conductors and 600 more motormen, if they were available, could be put to work at once.

Aside from extras, upon which the company largely depends, in such emergencies has been created by the present terrific heat wave, the surface department at present is operating with only about 1,995 crews as compared to 2,150 crews, the number that would be in service in a normal year. "Thus handicapped the company is contending with what probably is the worst heat situation in its history, SAYS "JUROR NO. 13" IS NOT AN IDLER Gloser Heartbroken at Being Ordered From Court. District Attorney Harry E. Lewis' "twelfth assistant," otherwise known in the County Court as "Juror No.

13," was acquitted today before Justices Freschi, McInerney and Edwards in the Court of Special Sessions of Victor Gloser, 45 years old, of 20 Lincoln place, is the distinguished vidual. Gloser has been a habitue of the County Court for eighteen years. At every big trial he would play the role of spectator. He was most obliging, too, and would run errands or do anything to help the prosecutors bring about conviction of evildoers. He had a camera eye.

Once seen by Gloser one would always be marked by him. Time and again he "tipped off" prosecutors on jurors, who they were, their records, their pigheadedness other things that prosecutors desire know. Recently he "tipped an assistant that a certain juror selected was a felon. Investigation proved it and saved a mistrial. Someone got peeved at Gloser and wrote a letter to the police complaining that he was an idler.

Detective Daniel Kennedy arrested him July 19, after Gloser frankly admitted he had not worked in eighteen years. But in court today he produced a physician's certificate stating that he has been under treatment for asthma all during that period and work. So he was honorably discharged. But tears welled in his eyes when Justice Freschi advised him to quit the County Courthouse forever. The suggestion that he must part with the courthouse and its familiar faces, its excitement and its human interest was distasteful to Gloser.

Gloser said his mother supports him. Assistant District Attorney Cooper told the Court that Gloser has been of great help at times to the District Attorney. KELLY-KERUS. In the Queen of All Saints Vanderbilt and Lafayette avenues, at 7 o'clock last evening Miss Evelyn M. Kerns, daughter of Mrs.

The directors are Jacob Schmelz, Walter Schmelz and Henry Lahr of Brooklyn. The Johnson Casting and Manufacturing Company, of Brooklyn has also been chartered, with capital of $10,000. The directors are Gustave A. Johnson of Brooklyn and Henry B. Britton and John F.

Russell Jr. of Manhattan. The Banner Butter and Egg Company, of Brooklyn has been Incorporated with a capital of $10,000, and these directors: Ray Feller, Morris Kosnitzky and Maurice Cherner of Brooklyn. The men, especially the older men in the service, are sticking to their jobs splendidly. But the situation with regard to sickness is also made unprecedented by the fact that when men do drop out, there are no substitutes to take their places, with the result that every man going out of service through sickness means a car left the barns instead of carrying passengers.

This condition grows worse by minutes as the sick list grow. heavier. "It is estimated that on the surfaco lines alone owing to the added cursion travel created by the heat, 100,000 more passengers have been carried daily in the last two day! than on a normal day in summer. On Tuesday on the Coney Island and Brooklyn lines, which include tho Smith street, DeKalb avenue and Franklin avenue lines, 34,000 passengers were carried. On the Culver line, including the Union, Vanderbilt and Reid avenue lines, 32,000 passengers were carried.

"Traffic to the beaches on the Rapid Transit lines shows an even greater excess over normal. Last Tuesday approximately 200,000 passengers passed through the temporary West terminal, and approximately 100,000 through the Culver terminal, with like figures for Wednesday. Under normal summer conditions, probably not more than 50.000 persons would pass through 1 West End terminal and not more than 30,000 through the Culver terminal in the same period."
