WAsHINGroN, June IL, 1916,

II is now fast approaching midsummer, and
many Of the elite Of this metropolis, more espe-
cially the ladies and families of Senators and
Members OF Congress, who have been living
for the last six months at the United States
Hotel, are now preparing to transfer themselves,
by the OceoIa or the Columbia, to the Piney
Point Branch of that extensive and well con
Quoted establishment, which is now under the
sole management of Mr. James II. Birch, who
is certainly great tavorite with his guests and
boarders in general, and the ladies in particu-
lar. Mr.. Blrch's popularity as "mine host"
of the United States Hotel is easily accounted
for. He keeps a splendid table which is album
dainty supplied with all the Injuries and va
rieties of the season-especaly such as Pney
Point is so famous tor-sheepS head, drum
fish, superior oysters, soft crabs, SC. Then all
his boarders and guests in Washington may
have the run of Piney Point during the entire
season, on the same terms as they enjoy the
comforts and luXuries of the United States Ho-
tel. Several of our glLtdnuACS ask the sense
less and useless question, why is the United
States Hotel the favorite resort of the ladies',
and why do they all speak so favoraby of Mr.
Birch and his establishment. Let Bachelor
Bob, the Doctor and the other spicy writers for
the New York papers, answer that pregnant
question, Indeed it is already most satsfacto-
rily answered, by the fact that more gay and
splendid weddings have been solemnized at the
United States Hotel, than in all the other Ho-
tells of this city of magnificent distances" put
together. | wonder, Pa, said a blooming
young lady Of eighteen the other day, after
reading in the National lntelligencer that Mr..
Birch was about to open his Plney Point Paw

there during the season. 81 cannot say, my
DEAR" answered Pa; "but we will stay there
few weeks, and then nous uerrons." The
young lady was delighted with Pas reply, and
is now busily engaged in making ready for the
visit, intending no doubt, like many other
handsome and captivating misses, to go forth
-"conquering and to conquer
But away with badinage. Mr.. Birch's Pr
ney Point establishment will be opened for the
reception of visitors in a few days. The ladies
of Mr.. Calhoun and Mr., Burt, with many other
fashionables, will pay the Pavilion an early vi
sit. Will not this intelligence put the bellies
and beaux of Baltimore on the qui uire.

country in war, in defiance of the constitution other
wing journals and members Of Congress, more
numerous are charging upon him that he has not
repealed the invasion tOh due force. This portion
of his accusers say he is to blame for not sending
more men down to the Del Norte-while their pot-
zeal brethren crying out that he is violating the
constitution in sending any men there at ALL Now,
no two charges can be conceived more admirably
fitted TO neutralize and annihilate each other.
The charge Of sending too small force proves
that half the aeeusers think there is no plausi-
bility In the denial of the constitutional right to
send force. On the other hand, the denial Of
the right TO take any measures at all to rePel the
INVASION proves that the other half of the accusers
think the administration not assailable on the
ground Of deficient energy and preparation.
But both the charges are mere party clamor. No
body has any faith in them. The action of the
House proves it, The action Of the Senate proves
it. The whole spirit of the countryside rush Of
volunteers in response to the Presidents call, fully
proves it. Left to itself, this clamor will soon die
away and be forgotten
