ONLY PICKED TROOPS TO ACT
WAR DEPARTMENT PLAN FOR
JOINT MANEUvERS.
Militia Organizations of Proved Fit
ness to Be Selected Hereafter.
Gen. divers Statement.

All the principal officials of the War
department deprecate the publication
tnat the militia suffered such severe hard
SHIPS In the recent joint maneuvers in
Massachusetts that the War Department
had decided to discontinue the practice of
having militiamen take part in the annual
maneuvers of troops of the regular army.
The official view of the matter is ex-
pressed in a statement issued by Con
Oliver. acting secretary of war, as fo.-
lows:
certain articles in regard to the COM
bined army and National Guard maneu
Vers in Massachusetts having been
brought to the attention of the denart-
ment, II Is proper to state that the de-
partment has not the slightest intention

cation OF the National Guard i'm connec-
ton with the army i'm joint camps and

Massachusetts should be hereafter limited
10 SUCH organizations as have proved
themselves in the camps of instruction as
lit to take part and To he competent to
take reasonable and proper care of them
selves, and only those organizations that
have been specially reported to the de-
partment as sucn should be given this
privilege.
There Is no question that the recent
maneuyers have been most Invaluable.
and simply because certain hardships
may have been suffered through their
own ignorance by some of the men of the
militia there Is certainly no reason for
interfering with or changing In any way
the we'll settled policy which has been de-
termined upon by the department.
THE department knows of no reason
for assuming that there was any excess
sive amount of sickness or injury to
health in the recent maneuvers; OH the
contrary, from certain unofficial statistics
which have been published it is inclined
to believe that there has bee Mess sick
ness as a result of these maneuvers than
usual. However, no official report mere
on has yet been received"

The Staying of the unsuspecting Chi

sat quietly smoking about their door

cold-blooded deeds ever accredited to the
this country.
Suddenly and seemingly from nowhere
appeared ten strange Cinnamon, attired
in American clothes, in a narrow alley
in the center Of the Chinese quarter. One
of the men lifted his hand and calmly
touched the fuse of "A small flrecracker
to the end of his cigar. In an instan;
there was a roar of ear-splitting sounds
as revolvers of heavy caliber flashed on
every side Immediately following the pop
of the cracker.
The strange Cinnamon rushed madly
down the alley, firing shot after shot as
they ran, yet seemingly careful to pick
the men noted for their prominence in
the On Leong Tong.

PALA|s ROYAL CELEBRATION
SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY ami
vERsARY OBSERVED.
Flying Flags, Unusually Attractive
Displays and Exhibition Of Sou
venirs Make Occasion Notable.

With flags flying without, with un-
usually attractive displays within, with
the hosts Of visitors and army of en-
ployes seemingly in sympathetic touch,
the sixteenth anniversary Of the Palais
Royal proved an occasion that eloquently
demonstrated the popularity Of Mr.. Lis
ner's establishment.
With autumn fashions now in women
minds the wonderfully complete showing
= dress needs Of the new season at
tracted much attention, especially as the
souvenirs associated with the birthday
appealed so strongly to the feminine love
Of the beautiful, while so lightly affect
ing the purse.
Decoration of Autumn Foliage.
The neutral tints Of the autumn foliage
which decorates the first floor show to
best advantage the bright coorings that
are SO marked a feature of Womens new
apparel Laces. for instance. are Of col
ors to match dress materials and are
bedecked with Jewels and showered with
gold and silver of barbaric splendor
Gloves, too. were seen in colors never be-
fore exploited-a boon to women who de-
light In artistic harmony. Stockings, too,
were seen to match.
The new bags to be carried by my
lady of fashion were never more beau
tiful in form and colors. some with frames
ablaze with jewels.
The souvenirs in the second-floor milli-
merry parlors include toques that seem
too big at first glance, but when tried
on their artistic lines are very evident
and very becoming. OF velvet rich In
texture and colors, an aigrette is the
only needed trimming. Not d few superb
specimens of picture hats We're seen.
Again are graceful lines the feature, with
ostrich feathers the adornment. AS many
as eight perfect specimens were counted
on one of these hats. In quiet but
artistic contrast were the many bonnets
for elderly ladies. the kind that crown
grandma with a halo that commands love
and respect.
Costumes as Souvenirs.
The special attractions on the third
floor are the costumes being distributed
at a nominal price as a birthday souvenir
One of the models, draped upon q figure
in an electric-lighted showcase, created
much enthusiasm. 1t is well worth see
ing The tailored suits had all the hall
marks of the man artist, and the price
link created a birthday souvenir that
was evidently much appreciated.
The fourth floor, filled with furniture
and draperieS. has among its souvenirs
rocking chairs that link the ornamental
with the acme of comfort.
The basement moor attractions include
all kinds OF housefurnishings, among
which are expensive cut glass pieces.
One artistic souvenir is gas lamp with
cathedral glass dome.
That the Palais Royal birthday party
was a glorious success could not be
doubted by any visitor yesterday, and
that the souvenirs of the occasion were
very heartily appreciated was equally
evident. The same attractions for to-
morrow will be welcome news to those
who were kept indoors by yesterday
rain.

The H-Street Subway.


Mr.. Frizzell, chairman of the committee
on steam railroads. presented report,
which was adopted. dealing with the H
street subway. and suggesting that the
roadway be widened and the sidewalk mar
rowed; that slow-moving vehicles keep to-
ward the curb and that lighter and faster
ones take the side next to the pillars.
while the automobiles keep in the middle
Of the thoroughfare on the car tracks.
There is a regulation regulating traffic
in the subway, but 1t was claimed that
it was not enforced. DR.. Walter, chair
man of the committee on police. said he
had endeavOred to have a policeman de-
tailed in the subway. Maj. Sylvester, he
said, had told him that his force was not
large enough to spare an officer for duty
there.
They have to have too many men de-
tailed at the White House. the chairman
suggested. About thirty-five Of them are
detailed there
Building for Normal School.
J. Clinton Hiatt of the Columbia
Heights Citizens Association requested
the association to assist in getting an
appropriation for normal school at 18th
and Harvard streets. He read letter
from A. T. Stuart. superintendent of the
public schools, telling of the inadequate
provision for the normal pupils. There
were only twenty students when the
school was organized thirty-five years
ago. but today there are q" students. The
school has never occupied its own build
ing. The pupils arc now occupying dirnly
lighted and poorly ventilated rooms. The
association unanimously approved the eff
forts of the Columbia Heights Associa-
ton.
\ resolution was adopted asking the
Commissioners to widen the roadway
along + street northeast between I'd and
sth streets. claiming that the establish
ment of the car line along that thorough
fare would increase other traffic and the
widening Of the roadway was a matter Of
necessity.

that 1t was a matter in which the entire

ested. Disease, he asserted, is spread
from the flats to all sections of the city.
Drs. Walter and Parsons agreed with
him.
President Tucker said that number of
plans for the Improvement of the section
had been suggested. One was that addi-
tional wharfage facilities be provided. \
resolution thanking the newspapers for
their efforts to bring about the improve
ment was adopted
