At the Army and Navy club in Wash

most of them young men, were swapping
stories of various engagements during
the war with Spain and the subsequent
troubles in the Philippines.
Among the silent listeners was one
grlzzled veteran. a naval commander of
national renown. 1t must have occurred
TO one of the young men that it was pc
culiarly ludicrOus that officers not long
out of the academies should be holding
forth with respect to their exploits, while
this old fellow sat silent in a corner. So,
turning TO the veteran, one of the young
officers blithely asked:

March. Chief Of the Signal Service
Willis Moore once promised an ideal
day for an Inauguration, and It was
ideal for farm hands. 1t rained from
early morning till late at night. An
Inauguration is not like baseball

Of wet grounds. The president elect
must go to the bat and run the bases
from the White House to the capitol

zard or rainstorm that washes all

others some we'll meaning reformers
have tried to have the date Of the in
auguration changed. Vain effort! They
did not know Washington. The Capt.
tai City is more of a stickler for prece-

coin Stefens is for civic righteousness.
Everybody in Washington admits that
the change ought to be made, that the
