NO ACCESS FOR A MONTH.
Main Entrnce at Interior Depart"
ment Closed Pending Repairs.

For the first time in many years tho
main entrance to the Interior Depart
ment building, facing Sth street on F
street. is soon to be closed 1t will be
closed about month while workmen re-
pair the large room over the portico.
This room contains all OF the contracts
made by the War, Navy and Interior de-
partments since they were established.
and the need of space has become SO
great that changes will have to De MADE
to accommodate the additions to the
records.
The records have been placed in such
positions in the large room over the por-
tico that their great weight rested only
upon the massive pillars holding up the
roof Of the portico. Before any more
space in this room can be used for this
purpose IT will be necessary to reinforce
the roof Of the portico with iron Orders
to withstand the extra strain. CHER
Clerk Parker of the Interior Department
estimates that it will take about a month
to complete the work.

FINDS COMPLICATIONS
IN GOVERNMENT TITLES
Special Attorney Gauss Says
U. S. Holdings in District
Are Imperfect|y Defined.

Henry G. Gauss, special United States
attorney for the purpose Of making a
complete map of the governments
land holdings In the District of Column
bia, today declared that the govern
ments title to lands it holds is in
many cases unsatisfactory
He declared the site on which is 10
Gated the Willard Hotel is partly
owned by the government-or that the
government might be found to own a
section of that land: and he declared
that the land on which are located the
Metropolitan Club and st. Johns
Church is also mixed up with the gov
ernment's titles.
Chided for Delay.
Mr.. Gauss statements came about as a
result of democratic committee going
after a republican commission The
House committee on public buildings and
grounds today demanded of him why he
had not furnished complete map of the
governments holdings in the District
after having been at the work for several
years.
Mr.. Gauss was employed to do this work
under the direction of the Attorney Gen.
eral. With a stenographer. he practi-
cally constitutes Commission which
was appointed during the Sixtieth Con-
gress, and has been appropriated for
twice since
Classed as Intricate Problem.
Members of the House committee on
public buildings and grounds, headed
by Representative Clark, the chairman,
went after Mr.. Gauss in hammer and
tongs fashion. as to why the work of
clearing up the titles had not progressed
more rapidly. He said no one had any
idea Of the magnitude Of the job, and
that the United States interest in the
alleys of the city makes the whole SUBJ
ject an intricate problem.
The committee took the matter Of
continuing the work under ADJUSTMENT.

Interest in Artillery.

interest IN ATL1lleIy.
Now that the new system of military
service is about to be introduced into
the French army and the balance OF
..effectives'' Is more or less achieved. the
attention Of the war Office is being turned
to artillery. At present the only gun
which the French possess more powerful
than the 15-millimeter is the Rimailho
somewhat heavy and lacking in mobility
For many years past Germany has had
batteries of the howitZers of 1O5 MILL
meters, with view to counteract the
French quick firing 75-millimeter. The
dropping shells are able to search all
masked frontally fortified positions
but. the range being comparatively
short. the Germans have now adopted a
heavy 15O-miilimeter howitZer and 10
millimeter mortar. with carriage adapted
for the toughest transport.
1t was in response to this move that
the French minister of war, after giving
a trial to various types of howitzers OF
fered by private industry, determined to
adopt the ingenious invention of COM
mandant Malaudrin for Transforming the
75-millimeter duick-firers at need into
howitZers.
Aid for the Housewives.
The French government is nothing II
not paternal. 1t has taken compassion
on prosecuted housewives, and Will solve
the servant problem for them.
The scheme Is simplicity itself, but one
has to be acquainted little with French
custom and the fondness of Frenchmen
and Frenchwomen for wearing official
decorations. The solution consists in
awarding a decoration with a red, white
and blue ribbon TO all faithful domestic
servants. The decree instituting the new
order of Distinguished Domestic Service
appears in the Journal Officiel.
IL provides, according to law passed,
apparently unperceived. last July, that
all domestic servants who have faith
fully performed the duties of their estate.
and whose conduct is irreprOacha Die,
snail receive medal like the one be-
slowed on all faithful clerks, shop assist
ants and commercial employees generally.
This will entitle them, furthermore. to
wear a tricoiored ribbon in their button
holes.
Funds From Autographs.
NJ Brieux. the gifted author, has. like
many other celebrities. been victimized
by the autograph fiend. Post cards and
letters come to him from all parts Of
the world asking for his signature A
bright idea has now occurred 10 him.

ST. which he hands over to a benevo-
lent fund of the commune. Applications
for his autograph may not now be so
numerous as they were before, but
they will serve charitable purpose.

day. The president of the board clearly

The question of Mr.. Newman's eligi-

full case, which is slated for a hearing
September 10. According to Corporation
Counsel Thomas, who is representing the
Commissioners IN defense of their action
in removing MIR. Kalbfus as member of
the board of assistant assessors, the
right of commissioner Newman to serve
in that capacity cannot be attacked coll
latterally. but only by quo warranto pro-
ceedings, such as nave been instituted.

Aided by his colleague, Commissioner
Frederick L. Siddons, District Commits
sioner Newman today began preparations

1t is certain that the counsels of Mr..

'robIem of Aerial Militia Is
Solved by the Gov
eminent.
IGN correspondence of The Star.

Ioreixn Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS. August ~, 1913
The question of an aerial militia in
france has been frequently discussed and
now about to receive satisfactory solu-
Jon. 1t is expected that ina few months
here will be 40 civilian aviators. with
compact organization forming an aerial
hHitia. The scheme has been strongly
Evocated by NJ. Alfred lie Blanc. and the
Foposal has been accepted by the general
ham.
The scheme consists in project to or
|anize all the suitable civilian pilots into
body liable to service at any time when
hlied upon by the military authorities.
hey will have stated periods of exercise
turing the course of the year. and it is
heposed at the same time to allow a sum
b $40 a year as pay to each aerial
hilitsaman This will indemnify him for
lis service, and leave him free at the
lame time to earn more. either as an
|siator or in following some trade or
Profession.
Three Glasses of Filters.
At present the proposal contemplates
)hree classes of aviators. First, pilots who
|wn machines second pilots who are at
he service of builders. third. pilots who
Iave no machines. The first and second
|HteGorIes are the least numerous,
Ind il is believed that the largest
'ontingent will be recruited from the
hi-. category. To them the indemnity
sIaa q year will be an important con-
3dera ton
Hitherto all officers or soldiers who ap-
lied 10 be attached TO the aviation corps
ad to pass their military brevet as
Iiiots, and were then assigned to some
ENTER. The members of the proposed
hilitia will have to go through the same
Est, but the government will advance
he necessary sum-about x3OO-to the
'uiiders. to allow the aspirants to pass
he tests
\ special committee of officers will ex-
mine the applicants beforehand as to
heir record and ability. The accepted
Hndidate will have to sign an enlist
Gent in the militia TO which he will be
|ound. and in case he leaves before his
me Is expired he Will have to pay an
.hdemnity.
II Is calculated that about zoe ayiators
