CHILDREN MADE HAPPY
TAKE MOTHERS WITH THEM ON
ALL-DAY OUTING. ~

Four hundred children and one hundred
mothers, selected by the summer outings
committee of the Associated Charities, left
the broiling city behind them yesterday,
and, as guests Of the Chesapeake Beach
Railway Company they spent all the happy
daylight hours upon the cool shore Of the
resort. All attractions at the beach were
thrown open to the visitors without price,
and one grand paean of thanksgiving and
appreciation descended upon the proprietors
of the resort and upon Paul Y. Waters, the
manager. Huge luncheon baskets, bullying
with the good things of life, crowded every
the beach, and a sorry looking devastated
group of baskets hudded together on the
re turn trip. What happened to them in the
meantime can better be imagined than de-
scribed.
Besides granting free rides on the hobby
horses, the swings and gratis entertain
ments in the other attractions along the
boardwalk, the management of the beach
threw down the bars at the entrance to
the bath houses, and the water of the bay
contiguous to the resort was kicked into
ripples and spattered into spray as it
has not been before in it's history.
The eight divisions of the Associated
Charities were divided into five, and the
various groups were under the guidance OF
the special agents. Miss Louise Stanton
and Miss Hettinger brought 10 from
Georgetown, who were distinguished by
their red ribbons; Edward Gilfilan had 70
Bebb SO, Miss Buckling Is, Mrs Eta West
60. Among others who assisted in making
things go were Wallace S. Hatch and ].
Clinton Hiatt.

DISPATCH OF THE MILWAUKEE,
New Cruiser Sent to Disturbed Section
Of Central America.

The possibility of trouble in Central Amer
lea incidental to the alleged ambition of
President Zelaya Of Nicaragua to form a
union Of Central American states has
caused the administration to dispatch the
new cruiser Milwaukee to that locality.
Orders have been issued for her to proceed
forthwith from the Mare Island navy yard
California. The vessel is in command Of
Commander Charles A. Cove, and will go
to La Union, San Salvador. The collier
Saturn also has been directed to proceed
to La Union. and from that vessel the MIL
waukee and the gunboat Yorktown, which
is now at Acajutla, will coal. The stay of
the Milwaukee in Central American waters
is problematical. and will In a measure
depend upon the conditions that develop in
that section of the world. She goes for the
protection of American interests, which are
said to be threatened because of the situa-
ton as it now exists. The cruiser st. Louis,
now on her way to a Brazilian port, Is en-
route to the Pacific coast, and will arrive
in Central American waters in less than
month 1t may be that she will relieve
the Milwaukee in the event that the adj
ministration decides to have that vessel re-
turn north, and it is deemed necessary to
continue the presence of two American ves-
sells in that section.
