same manner az Francis Scott Key saw 1t
when he was inspired to write the anthem
which has brought tears to so many eyes
and has made so many sentimental hearts
beat faster.
The old iron gates were closed tightly
throughout the day. and no soldier with a
gun on his shoulder tramped up and
down in front OF the gate as one has
done for SO many years. The old fort
was really deserted place and thing
of the past The tattered flag showed by
its shabbiness that the place was de-
serted. Visitors were scarce.
At $40 o'clock the tattered flag was
lowered by lone soldier. but no band

And, first of all. socialism Is econom-

private ownership or. at least, limits 1t to
consumptive goods such as food. clothing

community or the state the ownership of

moreover. is an insult TO the laboring

He had not long to wait before he be-

to love his ballads and rhymes.
Mr. Lang was born in March. 1914. in

PROBE TO BE THOROUGH
WOULD ENFORCE THE RULES

Herbert Williams. who was injured in
the street car collision at 9th and L
streets northwest in which j. NJ Casper
lost his life early last Friday evening,
is practically certain to recover within a
short time. according to a statement to-
day by his physician. DIR. Virgil Jackson
Reports to the effect that Williams had
sustained a punctured lung from the
broken rib. which is the most serious of
his hurts, were said by DIR. jackson to
be erroneous.
Just what final action will be taken by
the United States attorneys Office and
the District electric railway commission
in regard to the accident has not been
decided. Chairman John H. Marble of
the commission said today that that body
will tomorrow institute thorough inves-
tisation of the fatal collision, going into
every phase of the accident in the eff
fort to locate the real conditions that
resulted in the death of one man and the
serious injury of two others.
Probable Action.
Chairman Marble was unable to say
what action might be taken by the COM
mission asa the result of it's findings.
though he was of the opinion that the
commission will order the street railway
companies to place starters at all con-
geSted intersections such as the one at
9th and streets Steps will also be
taken. he limited, to compel the street rail
way companies to enforce the rule which
prohibits passengers to stand on the run
ming boards of moving cars.
Several complaints of violation of this
rule, he said, have been received by the
commission, and prosecutions are in pros
pect. Just how the street railway com
panies are to compel obedience to the
rule on the part of the travelling public.
especially at times such as the end of
base ball games at the American League
Park, the chairman was unable to say.
Refusal of the conductors to allow cars
to move while passengers stood on the
running boards. it was pointed out. would
probably result in tying up the entire
system for many minutes. The rule, how
ever. was made to be obeyed. said the
chairman, and a means of enforcing it
will have to be found.

START WIDE CRUSADE
AGAINST HIGH PRICE EGGS

New York-A movement to reduce
the price of eggs in every city in the
country to 25 cents or less dozen,
was started by the national executive
committee of the Housewives League
of America. An appeal has been adj
dressed to every state chairman and
local city political league, urging them
to join in the movement in an effort to
make the campaign general.
The leaders of the country were
urged to begin their crusades by APP
pealing to dealers in their immediate
locality. This plan follows the meth
cd adopted in Greater New York, as q
result of which the league announced
that three of the largest grocery firms,
controlling places in every part of the
city, had acceded to the demand fol
cheaper eggs and had cut the price tc
| 25 cents dozen.
Other dealers are expected by the
women to do likewise.

Naval Battle Is a Draw.

Sedil-Bahr, Dardanelles = Another
naval battle was begun between the
Turkish and Greek fleets Thursday
morning near the entrance to the Oar
danelles. The firing was heavy.
After the naval battle off the Oar
danelles, the Turkish warships re-
turned to their anchorage with flags
flying and bands playing amid the en-
thusiastic applause of the crowds lin
ing the shore.
According to an eye witness who
verifies the official report of the en-
gagement, after a long-range ex-
change of shots, the smaller Greek
vessels retired, leaving the pride OF
the Greek navy, the cruiser Georgia
Averoff, to bear the brunt of the fight
ing. The cruiser seemed to be using
only her small caliber guns anc
showed signs of having been sturck by
three or four shells. Finally she
slowly retired from the combat.

Washington, D. C.-Henry Lane
Wilson, United States ambassador to
Mexico, who has been here in confer
ence with the State department off
cials regarding conditions in Mexico,
has gone to New York, preparatory to
sailing Tor his post. He is without
the expected note of representation
this government is preparing to send
to the Mexican government demanding
protection for citizens and their prop
erty.
This action is taken as a further
evidence of the intention of the ad-
ministration to deal circumspectly
with this delicate situation. The COM
munication is being prepared with the
greatest care in the State department,
and will be transmitted to the United
States ambassador early in January.
The elaboration with which the
officials are moving is expected to re-
suit in the production of brief that
is expected to be well-nigh unanswer-
able except by a promise of prompt
and adequate action on the part of the
Mexican government to meet fairly
and fully the demands of the United
States in the matter of the plain
American interests in Mexico.
Justification for this demand by the
United States is declared to be found
in the numerous reports from every
quarter that conditions in Mexico have
grown worse since the dispatch OF
Secretary Knox's note of protest last
September, and that there has been g
marked increase in brigandage and in
the kidnapping of citizens of the Uni
ted States for ransom and in the levy.
ing of forced war loans by rebels or
American mines and plantations.
