OBJECT OF FORCED MARCHES.
The President Explains to a Caller
His Recent Orders.

To a gentleman who visited the White
House yesterday on behalf of one of the
army staff officers recently ordered be-
fore retiring board and who remarked
that it seemed rather hard to require the
making of forced march by a staff Of
ficer, from whom there was slight prob
ability that field service or forced marches
would ever be required, the President is
said to have replied substantially as fol-
lows:
at is as we'll known to staff officers as
it is to me that no man can perform the
highest grade of brain work of which he
is normally capable unless he be in first
class physical condition. The government
is entitled to the best service an officer S
natural ability enables him to do. 1t is
therefore the duty of every officer to keep
himself at all times in the best possible
physical condition. The physical test re-
quired in my recent instructions to the
Secretary of War has been purposely SO
specified that no officer will be able to
stand it who has not kept himself in
proper physical condition. 1t is neither
severe nor excessive; but an officer who
permits himself to become physically
weak or deblitated by Incidence or lack
of exercise will not be able ito take it sue
ceSSfully''

STORE IN HOLIDAY ATTIRE
WOODWARD & LOTHROP'S
AMONG THE FINEST.
All the Floors Are Covered With
Christmas Goods of Every
Description.

During the holidays most of the stores
of Washington are seen at their best, and
nowhere is this more evident than in the
vast establishment of Woodward & Lo-
throp, where it seems as If all the world
had been ransacked for a choice of mer-
chand1se to offer to the people of the ma
tons capital for their selection.
Floor after floor Of the great store is
crowded with articles of all descriptions.
There Is hardly anything imaginable in
the line OF clothing that may not be found
there, from expensive gowns and bonnets
imported from the most fashionable of
the Paris couturieres and modistes, to the
more useful garments not meant for dress
parade, but necessary, just the same.
Rich stuffs of silk, velvet and brocade
are spread out before the eyes of delight
ed customers, and nearby are the broad
cloths and elaborate woolens brought
from England for tailored costumes. In
another part Of the store are lighter
clothes ready for those who are prepar.
ing to fit to lower ATTITUDES until the
winter is over, and a summary aspect is
given to this quarter of the store.
Toys in Great Abundance.
But clothes are by no means the only
articles for sale at Woodward G. Lo-
throp's. On an upper floor quantities of
toys may be seen, with clerks demonstrat-
ing how they work, while the children
stand about, lost in wonder and admira
ton, wishing that Santa Claus would

WILLIAM WHITE DIES
MAN WHO FIGURED IN RECENT
TRAGEDY PASSES AWAY.

William White, who shot himself
through the head last Thursday morning
after he had fatally wounded Mrs. Annie
Moore, died at the Emergency Hospital
yesterday afternoon about forty eight
hours after the death Of the woman. The
passing of White brought the investiga-
ton of the double tragedy to a close
Acting Coroner Glazebrook deciding he
would not hold an inquest. 1t had been
his intention to conduct an inquest over
the remains of Mrs. Moore yesterday
morning, but when he learned of the seri-
Gus condition of White he directed that
the hearing be postponed.
After White and Mrs. Moore had been
removed to the hospital last Thursday the
police engaged in an investigation to de-
termine who had fired the shots, but they
had to rely solely upon the circumstances
as they were related by friends of the
parties and of those who reached the
room soon after the shooting 1t Is said
to be certain that White had the weapon
In his pocket when he left his home,
1244 AZ street, an hour before the tragedy,
his wife having seen it in his overcoat
pocket. 1t was suggested to the police
that the woman may have done the shoot
ing, but the police were unable to learn
anything to substantiate such a theory.
Ordered to Cease Visits.
Mrs. Moore, whose husband says he
had been forced to leave her two years
ago because of her association with White.
had recently ordered White to keep away
from the house, her husband having re-
turned to her and the children and she
having made up her mind not to continue
seeing White.
Walter ]. Moore, husband Of the wom-
an, went to the hospital to see his wife,
but she was unconscious when he called
and he did not see her. When he learned
of. her death he made arrangements for
the funeral; The body was removed to
an undertaking establishment and pre-
pared for burial. Her funeral will take
place tomorrow afternoon from Lees
Chapel, 332 Pennsylvania avenue. The
interment will be in Congressional Gene
terry.
The police were told that there was
possible chance for the recovery of
White. although his condition was serious,
and policeman was stationed at the
hospital. The improvement did not ma
terialize, however, and the policeman was
relieved from duty at the hospital yes
terday.
Mrs White set up a plea of insanity for
her husband, telling the police he had
suffered an injury to his head when he
was a boy.
And if he gets well." she said, there
will be no trouble proving he was ir-
responsible. Only the day before the
shooting he complained that his skull was
pressing against his BRAIN
When Mrs. White learned yesterday aft
ernoon of the death of her husband she
had members Of her family make ar
rangements for the funeral. Acting Coro-
ner Glazebrook heard what the police had
to say of the double tragedy and gave
certificates showing that White had shot
Mrs. Moore and then committed suicide.

Although the store is large and many
customers can move about in 1t without
getting in each others way, yet 1t Is we'll
to bear in mind that the holiday crush Is
a crush everywhere, even in the most
spacious quarters. Those customers who
take time by the forelock and make their
selections and purchases early. not only
get the best of everything, skimming the
cream Of the goods, but also have more
comfort at their task of shopping. and
can return from making a round Of pur-

At Woodward & Lothrops it will be

other respects obtaining in the store are
such as to make it ideal for the shopper
and then, besides all this, there Is the
