SHERRILL ON DRAFT Adjutant General Sherrill, through his New York office, last night, declared that the statement that all men of draft age working for local boards were to be removed was unauthorized. There is nothing in the law prohibiting men of draft age from working for the boards as clerks, it was stated. "Serious injustice has been done by publishing the names ba of these clerks, coupled with the statement that their work was in violation of the Selective Service law," the statement added.

Members of the draft boards, howwho draft age, are to be ever, replaced quickly as possible without interfering with the work of the boards." it was stated. It was explained that most of these men were appointed before the rule was adopted that no men of draft age could serve as members of exemption boards. U. S.

FREDERICK LOESER Inc. CUT FLOWERS AND FLORAL DESIGNS. MODERATE PRICES, PROMPT DELIVERIES. CHEESE CLUB STAGES "STORMBOUND" AMID WILDS OF ROCKAWAY K. of C.

Troubadours Deserted by U.S. Army After Singing for Soldiers. ROCKAWAY MEN TO RESCUE Vereshchagin's masterpiece, "The Road of the War Prisoners," vividly pictured on the big canvas in the Brooklyn Museum of Arts, showing the wintry blasts of a December night beating against the snow -covered forms of the Russian soldiers, will appear like one of Corot's rural summer scenes to the members of the Cheese Club of Bedford Council, Knights of Columbus, who braved the storm Thursday night to entertain the soldiers at Fort Tilden, at Rockaway Point. Fifty "cheesers," as they call themselves, led by Peter P. McLoughlin, past Grand Knight of Bedford Couneil, started in patriotic contemplation of the joy they would bring to the hearts of the soldiers at the oceanswept camp and boarded the 7 o'clock train at the Flatbush avenue depot of the Long Island Railroad.

Mr. McLoughlin is the sage of the Cheese Club and was the life of the party going down. "It's only a passing snow storm," he cheerfully sang to his companions as they passed over the plains of Neponsit in trucks provided by the Quartermaster's Department. Even when the roving players, stepping from the wagons, were cut by the sharp teeth of wintry blasts, Sage McLoughlin's encouraging voice continued the refrain "it will soon be over." Jamie Kelly, the vaudeville actor, a "cheeser," too, had his monologue 111 storage for the show which was presented, by the way, in the Y. M.

C. A. auditorium near camp. Frank V. Beggs, armed to the teeth with his banjo and ukelele, begged to be thawed out before he appeared before the soldiers.

James Carr, with his violin floating in its case. requested that his number, "Goodby Summer," be replaced by "Blow, Blow Thou Wintry Wind." Harry Wood, president of the club, recited A "Alaska" and John Keogh sang "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep." But the wind blew, and the snow fell, and the hail pelted on the responding roof of the auditorium and wise ones left the hall while the going was good. Just as the middle of the program was reached, with chorus standing in a row like the Swiss Guard, true to their "cheese" traditions, a blast struck the side of the hall and threatened to carry the building out into the ocean. Audience and actors alike stood still, but the building quivered, like the scenery in a Western production of "King Lear." The bugle sounded taps and the audience responded, all but an officer, who was picked to disclose the terrible news to the "cheesers" that their kindness was very much appreciated. that?" asked Jim McCormick when he heard the cornet blasts.

"That's taps," responded Jamie Kelly. "What are they tapping?" inquired McCormick, who prepares the refreshments at the entertainments the club gives at its Brooklyn home, 568 FortE land avenue. Stormbound at Rockaway Point. "No wagons to take us to the station and no automobiles to hire?" appealingly asked Mr. McLoughlin of the officer.

"That's the situation," said the officer, expressing his deep sorrow in a voice below zero. "I dare not break the news to the boys," whispered the sage, who had promised that "it would be over But he confided in Harry Woods, and in shivering co-operation the two decided upon the only possible alternative and almost together they cried out: "Let us telephone to the Grand Knight of of of of of of of of Far Rockaway Council and tell him of of our distress and remind him of his oath to take care of a brother knight in sickness and in death and convince him that the injunction includes snowstorms and such." A hurried glance through the telebook and a call brought John Barry, Grand Knight of Stella Maris Council, from his bed in his home at Far Rockaway at midnight. "Is that Brother Barry?" inquired the voice at Rockaway Point. "Yes," answered the man at the other end. "Brother, fifty of Bedford Council in Brooklyn are marooned at the point of Rockaway and death.

Can and will you help us out?" "What. in the name of Christopher Columbus, are so many knights doing there?" chatteringly inquired Mr. Barry. The story of the trip was told and the circumstances related and in about an hour, when Brother Barry mustered into service six automobiles from other knights, the belated members of the Cheese Club were rolling through the snow and rain and hail and wind toward Belle Harbor station. Finally the men boarded the train and started away for Brooklyn.

Some of them reached home at 2 o'clock. more arrived at 3 o'clock and several have not reported at the clubhouse yet.

Happy Xmas for 2 Families First Fruits of Eagle Drive real good news of The The first Charity Campaign comes toEagle's, Although then work of helping Brooklyn's thirty neediest families is just getting under way, already two of these families have received all the help them over their present Yesterday's necessinculties. receipts added to those of the day before have brought real happiness and Christmas joy to the second and third families mentioned in The Eagle's appeals on the first day. The only one of the first day's cases not yet looked after is Number 1, presented by the Bureau of ties. It was the case of Mrs.

Allen, a young widow of the Bedford section, whose health broke down as she was trying to support her five fatherless children. Surely some good Samaritans of the Bedford section will make up the $120 needed to bring happiness and comfort to this unfortunate family. One encouraging feature of yesterday's receipts is that they were 50 per cent. in excess of what had been received the day before. If that 50 per cent.

keeps for only la few days there will be uno question about caring properly for every one of the thirty neediest families of this borough. It is not true to say that people have grown callous suffering. They are glad give when they know their self -denial will really mean comfort and happiness to some who are less fortunate. And surely there can be no doubt in these cases which are being presented through the columns of The Eagle. "I am grateful to you." wrote one of yesterday's generous donors, "for bringing the knowledge of these suffering ones to the public through your columns."

IS AGAIN ACCUSED OF UNFAIR METHODS Attempts to Stifle Competition by Changing Prices of Products to Consumers. HEARING ON FEBRUARY 25 Washington, December 15-Unfair trade methods were charged against three manufacturers in complaints issued today by the Federal Trade Commission. The Ward Baking Company, New York, is alleged to have changed prices from time to time to distributors of its bread with the intent of stifling competition. It further is charged with fixing arbitrary standard resale prices and refusing to sell to distributors who would not maintain such prices. This is the second complaint issued by the Commission against this firm.

J. F. Hillerich Son Company, Louisville, is accused of violating the Trade Law by forcing its distributors to maintain certain standard resale prices on baseball bats and of violating the law which forbids price discrimination. The National Distilling Company, Milwaukee, is charged with stifling competition by giving large amounts of yeast free to bakers who buy it to the exclusion of yeast made by other firms. Gratuities "such as liquor, cigars, meals.

and in some money" are alleged have been given by the company to employees of users of yeast as an inducement for them to see that their employers used only yeast made by the National Distilling Company. The Ward Company will be given a hearing February 25; Hillerich Son, February 14, and the National Distilling Company February 18. No statement could be secured last night from representatives of the Ward Baking Company in reply to the charges against it.

Misfortune seems to have singled out Mrs. "Emmett," a resident of Williamsburg for the past forty years. First her husband was taken, then five sons, and only a short time later her daughter died, laving behind her two little children, a girl of 10 and a I boy of 8 years. Although Mrs. mett" is nearly 70 years old herself, she undertook the care of the children, who have been a great comfort to and have helped take the place of her own sons and daughter.

The children's father lived with them, too, and the little home was quite comfortable. It did seem as if Mrs. "Emmett" had had her share of sorrow, but she had still another burden to bear when the father died suddenly. The distressed woman cannot bear the thought of parting with the children, as they are all she has left in the world. She has cared for them so well and they are so devoted to her that it would be 'separate them.

The Brooklyn Bureau of Charities plans to assist them with a weekly pension and needs $200 for the next I six months. No. 14-St. Vincent de Paul. Mrs.

"Dexter" is a deserted wife. Her husband abandoned her, leaving her with five children. Three of the children she was obliged to put in an institution, but she could not bear to part with all of them, so she kept two of them with her. Her mother, a feeble woman, looks after the children while their mother goes out to work. For the sake of the children and the mother this home should be She asks only that her rent, $10 a month, be paid for her.

Those who believe and know that home is the best place for the child should feel a certain responsibility in helping this woman to keep her home going. She has made the choice hardest to a mother's heart, that of among her children. Mother love, stronger than death, spurs the woman on to do what will be impossible without outside help. Can anyone doubt that the influence of such a woman is the best preparation for life her children could have? No. 15-A.

I. C. P. twin one there of lies the the big father hospitals of of a Prook- family of sir children. He has come through a long illness and is on the road to recovery.

Only one thing lies between him and health. That is the trouble which his illness has brought upon his wife and children. The small savings have long since been spent and the wife has been courageously doing her best to make a living for them all. With six children to take care of, feed and clothe, it is a superhuman task for a woman. unused to working, and something must be done for these DeO ple to keep them until the father is well enough to again take up the support of the family.

State health insurance would have been a boon to this family. But where there is no such Governmental help private generosity must step in to take its place. No father of six children can fairly be blamed for inability to put aside enough to carry his family through a long spell of sickness. Your help now can put this family back where they will have at least an even chance to avcid pauperism, DINNER TO KARL VILL Upon the eve of his retirement after a year of service in the chair of high priest, Karl Vill of the Brooklyn Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, was tendered a complimentary dinner by that body in Silsbe's last night.

Kansas City, December 15 Persons who spend money for nonessentials during the war are no better than those who would induce ambulance drivers to run their pleasure cars or lure munitions workers from their task, said Frank A.

Vanderlip, National Director of the War Savings Campaign, tonight in an address here. Victory, he declared, depends largely on the thrift and self-sacrifice of the civilians. "If you wanted a chauffeur," said Vanderlip, "and you saw a man Mr. driving an ambulance on an errand of mercy, you wouldn't stop him and say, 'I want you. I will pay you more than the Government is "If you saw a man interfering with the equipment of a undertaking to tamper with a gun, to slow down the engine of an airplane, to Interfere with the working of a submarine, you know what the verdict would be- at sunrise.

We are all tampering with the equipment of this Army when we get in the way of the Government in its construction of that equipment. "You are business men, and "This you say, is all well enough; but what does it mean? If everybody is to stop buying no business would be wrecked. Business men must Must they? A lot of men going into this war will not live. This is important enough for men to die togetherand I would rather have a receiver than an executor." Mr. Vanderlip will make a speaking tour of the South next week.

AUDIENCE SHOWS UP, BUT LAUDER DOESN'T; HARRY LOSES $2,500 Scenery on -Storm--Cars Lost--Academy Patrons Wait in Vain. CROWD AND SCOT BOTH SAIR Harry Lauder with $2.500 in Brooklyn placederdas afternoon-and Harry lost. Also, some few among slightly more than 2,000 good Brooklynites lost their tempers; but for the most part the audience that should have filled the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon to hear Harry, and Harry wasn't there. their dideenbecausea. disappointment could be as nothing compared to the Scotchman's when his managers had to surrender 2,500 perfectly good dollars that should have gone into the Lauder strong box.

The money was just as good as if it were actually in Harry's pockets, you know, when it had to be handed back. There was the audience, all there: there money in the box office; there was the curtain all ready to go up--and no Harry. All that was known of Mr. Lauder had come in a telephone message: "Please, oh, please hold the audience as long as you can. I'm on my way, but our baggage cars, with the scenery and the costumes and the rest of the company, have gone astray." 'Every seat in Academy had been sold out for the afternoon performance when this message came.

It meant that all Harry had to do was to appear and the money was his. Also, it meant that the United States Government was to be enriched to the extent of about $250 by the war tax. H. T. Swin, treasurer of the Academy, wanted to please both Harry and the audience by trying to hold each for the other and by reducing the disappointment on both sides to the house had been thrown open, that it o'clock, before the a doors of the opera minimum, SO he announced at 2 was likely Mr.

So the audience waited in the lobby 2,000 persons, most of them sympathizing with Harry, but some of them rather angry. If they could have seen Harry they wouldn't have been the least bit angry, for the artist was over in Manhattan, slightly peeved to say the least, his Scotch temper was saying a tend things about railroads and storms and other things that caused trains to be late. Furthermore, Harry was seeing that $2.500 slipping, slipping, slipping.

It had slipped sO far by the time the Lauder baggage and scenery and costumes were located in a railroad yard in Manhattan that there wasn't a chance even for Harry to come over to the Academy stage and stall along, for the sake of the $2,500, until the baggage could arrive. Sadly, for the sake of Mr. Lauder, Mr. Swin came out in the lobby with the announcewas off. Those who on wanted their ment that the afternoon performance money at once could have it, but the others who didn't like to delay any longer could come back any day this week and redeem their tickets.

A small line formed at the back office for the redemption of tickets at once, and the few in it were still being paid off when Mr. Lauder finally arrived at the Academy at 4 o'clock. It was reported on good authority that Harry gave one look at the pitiful scene and then wept so loudly it was feared his voice would be spoiled for the evening's performance. But the evening saved, and also Harry, when he heard several people ask if they couldn't exchange their tickets for the night performance and get the reply, "All sold out." That braced Harry up. He was pale last, slightly.

evening, but his voice wabbled N.B.--Mr. Lauder appeared in Albany last night and left at midnight. He arrived in Manhattan at 8:30, but the baggage cars had been hitched onto a train that got stalled thirty-five miles out of New York. He couldn't give the show without them, and tried his best to get the baggage cars through to Brooklyn by another way. But then the cars got lost and weren't located again until 3:30 in the afternoon.

FIRE DAMAGES PIER The North Seventh street pier was damaged last night by a fire which started from the careless dumping of hot ashes on the wooden flooring alongside that part the dock occupied by the Booth Flynn Contracting Company. The fiames had a good start before they discovered and when a night watchman ran to a fire box to turn in an alarm he found a printed cardboard stating that the box was out of order and to use the nearest 'phone to get out the firemen. While the watchman was trying to raise Fire Headquarters a boy ran to the station of Engine Company 212 Wythe avenue near North Ninth on street, and no time was lost by the firemen in getting down to the dock. The firemen quickly had a line of hose on the blaze and it was extinThe damage was about guished. $200.

PUILLON SHIPYARD SOLD TO W. H. TODD Pays $210,000 for Clinton St. Property Adjoining Barge Canal Terminal. IMPORTANT WATERFRONT DEAL.

One of the most important Brooklyn waterfront transactions in some years was consummated yesterday in the purchase by William H. Todd. president of the Todd Shipyards Corporation of New York, of the Puillon Shipyard, at the foot of Clinton street, adjoining the Barge Canal Terminal. The consideration in the deal, which was a cash transaction, $210,000. The broker in the sale was James L.

Brumley. The Puillon yard has long been regarded as a very important ship terminal property, but its transfer was several times held up by reason of incomplete or doubtful title. The final conveyance to its present owner was the outcome of considerable labor and search, and the completion of the deal is considered as very important at this time, when the development of the Brooklyn waterfront is undergoing notable progress as a result of the war. The recent acquisition of the abandoned ferry properties in this borough by the New York Harbor Realty Corporation, as was told in The Eagle last Sunday, gives additional importance to the transfer of the Puillon property. The shipyards are just south of the Marginal Railroad property, and have a frontage 011 Gowanus Bay extending out to the bulkhead of the bay, a distance of 1.200 feet.

There are 6.200 feet of upland in the property, the balance being land under water. Mr. Todd recently purchased a large plot at Twenty-fifth street and Third avenue, extending to the waterfront of South Brooklyn.
