''eolliangol." It is form of pure si1-

1.-The antiseptic property of silver hes
long been known. It's use, however,
has been very limited. Based upon

the charges against them. In his new
work he has taken q special interest Ia
the matter of desertions in the army
and he has made study of that sub
ject,' SO that his opinion on it is re.
sarded as of unusual weight and i'm
portance. His report this year shows
that the percentage cf desertions from
the army is higher now than it has
heen for number of years. Gen.
Ainsworth speaks out his mind, and
has no hesitancy in naming what he
believes to be the causes of men leav-
ing the army. He says:
1.-THE abolition of the canteen, the
monotony of garrison life, the increas-
ing amount of work and study de-
manded of soldier and the ease with
which remunerative employment can
De obtained in civil life in these pros
porous times are all advanced as
causes of desertion in the army. Many
remedies have been proposed, but none
seems to be worthy of very serious
consideration. Those who know how
the canteen came to be abolished are
not hopeful of it's restoration; there is
no likelihood of any such increase in
the soldiers pay as will Offset the
greater inducement offered in civil pur-
suits; the comforts and even luxuries
that are furnished to enlisted men in
cur service are even now criticised b.
some as being not only extravagant
but injurious in their effect on men
whose real business it is to march and
fight, encountered with few comforts
and no luxuries; and the discipline
end instruction to which the soldier is
now subjected are not likely to be re-
laxed in the future
The general declares that desertions
will continue to be excessive until the
deserter shall come to be regarded as
a criminal, to be ostracized and hunted
Gown as relentlessly as any other
t1ansgressor Of the law. He does not
see much prospect for this change in
public sentiment and believes that it
will require national disaster and
humiliation to impress the people with
the necessity OF a highly disciplined
army.

Green and drawn with as much abandon
as though 1t merely covered her grocers
bill.
Mrs. Green delivered the check to
Deputy City Chamberlain Campbell In per-
son on the day when her feminine vanity
might be supposed to induce her to yield
to the temptation of a half holiday. The
check was for six months loan to help
out In the present money stringency, and
she is to get per cent on the sum.
Deputy City Chamberlain Campbell yes
terday explained all about the transaction,
and he told how Mrs. Green had put In
good part OF her birthday anniversary driv-
ing good bargain with the city and clos
ing up the DEAL
Mrs. Green is a frequent lender to the
city In fact she has loaned $2,500000 to
the Chamberlain since November 10. and
before that time she had loaned consider
able sums to the chapberlain's Office. For
several years the sums she has loaned have
steadily increased, every year seeing the
city indebtedness to her swell by million
or two.
Mrs. Green has wresteC the sceptre from
Russell sage and is now the largest indi-
vidual money lender in New York city, &C
cordiag to Mr.. Campbell. At about all
times she has several millions available
to be loaned at good, round interest rates.
During the recent money stringency, when
money has been hard to get and interest
high, she has reaped harvest.

Right Granted by Congress.

1.-THE legal aspect Of the use of this reser-
walton, as stated in the brief accompany
ing Mr.. Johnson's communication, does not
come within the purvtew of this office, but
is a question for the consideration Of the
law officers Of the War Department; but
II must be borne in mind that Congress has
granted the railroad the right to use one
half of the reservation (the portion south
of line drawn through the reservation on
the axis of street, in connection with the
elimination of grade crossings in this city.
Moreover, during the progress OF that vast
work the railroad company is much ham
pered for room for the storage OF cars and
handling of freight, but when the improve
ments now In progress are completed and
their new freight yards established the ne
cessity for the temporary use of the north
half OF reservation No. 113 will cease and
its occupation by them can be terminated.
The delay in the construction of important
public works must also be considered.
1T appears that. with one exception. the
freight unloaded upon the reservation has
been for government purposes, and 1t is
suggested that the attention of the general
agent in this city of the Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington railroad be invited to
the fact that the unloading of coal there
for the Hotel Patience was in violation of
one of the provisions of the license grant
ed by the Secretary of War, and that all
the provisions of that license must be
strint1y observed -

REPORT DENIED.
Washington Foot Ball Players Not
Participants in Philadelphia Row.

An exclamation of the alleged misconduct
of Central High School students In Phlia-
delphia after foot ball game last SATURDAY
,yas made to the board of education last
evening through Director Hughes OF the To-
cal high schools. Reference was mace 10
published report that the boys engaged IN
a free-for-all fight with the police, Whch
was entirely unfounded as far as the local
boys were concerned. Statements by Prln-
cinaI Wilson of the Central and Gilbert KEEL
w faculty adviser of that school, were pre-
sented, denying the charges against the
washington students, who, 1t was declared.
took absolutely no part In the rlot WHICH leu
to the report sent here.
In conversation with a Star reporter TO-
day Mr. Wilson entered most emphatic dc,
NAL of the charges against the central
bows He said all of the members OF the
team were In the dressing room when the
alteration occurred and that there were
only three local boys present besides the
members of the team.
II was there during the trouble he said
this morning, land the statement that our
bows engaged in the fight is absolutely
false The Philadelphia police attempted TO
carry out literally instructions they hao
doing incurred the ire of the Philadelphia
students, who could not see why they should
be kept off the field after the game was
over. Our boys did not start the night, ana
only three of them, at the most, saw 1t.
The board appointed 8. A. Belote, central

Authority of Secretary of War.

Cen Mackenzie in forwarding Col Brom-
wells report, sums up the situation as fol-
lows;
by revocable license dated December Is,
1904, the Secretary of War granted the
Railroad Company permission to place, tenn
porarily, side tracks upon Government
Reservation No. 113. between It'll and 9th
streets and Maryland avenue and street
southwest, to facilitate the delivery OF
building material and other freight intended
buildings.
These papers cover a petition Of the
Southwest Citizens Association for revoca-
ton of said permit, II being alleged that
the Secretary Of War has no power to
grant permission for the occupation Of pub
reservation by the railroad company In
creases the danger to life and property In
this vicinity.
80 far as the legal authority of the Sec
rotary of War to grant the permit in ques-
ton is concerned II may be stated that the
question was passed upon by the judge adj
v0cRte general before the permit was issued.
Regarding the allegation that the exercise
by the railroad company Of the privilege
granted Is dangerous to life and property,
attention is respectfully invited to the ac-
companytng full report OF the 18th instant
reasons stated therein that the license be
not revoked, and in this recommendation /
concur"
Although Acting Secretary Oliver has not
officially acted in this matter. he clearly in
dicated In conversation today that 1t was
ed by Gen. Mackenzie and to notify the rail-
road company that 1t must live up to the
conditions OF the license granted 1t, other
wise the license would be revoked
