WALL STREET is DENIED
MORE MILITARY GUARDS
War Department Refuses Petition of
Leaders Of Finance for Ad-
ditional Protection.

More than go leaders of finance in the
Wall street district in New York have
petitioned the War Department to in
crease the number Of soldiers on Gov
errors Island In order to protect Wall
street from any mob. uprising or foreign
invasion which might occur. The War
Department has declined.
The movement for increased military
protection is said to have been started by
CHARLES r. Warren. vice president Of the
Lincoln National Bank in New York. AS
the result OF activities along this line
hundreds Of printed petitions have flooded
the New York senator's, all eventually
nnding their way to the War Department.
Detail Now Not Large.
Governors Island is located in New
YORK harbor. comparatively short
distance from the crowded financial
district. It's detail Of soldiers now is
not large. The Wall street financiers
took the position that it was the course
OF wisdom to have this force increased
SO That the soldiers might respond to
any emergency likely to arise in New
York city, particularly the commercial
section.
The War Department. on the other
hand, Is not willing to increase the
assignment to Governors Island. be-
cause of the inability of a larger de-
tail drilling on the island. 1t takes the
position that New York is afforded
adequate protection through the large
detail of forces to forts adjacent to
New York city.

THE ENGLISHMAN'S BATH.
Tubs for Women May Be Cry Of
Pankhurst Militants.
From tbe New York Tribune.

FROM the NeW 1oTh
As all the world knows. bathing is
for an Englishman a rite, a ceremony
an act of faith and dedication. Other
nations battle to remove dfrt--to keep
clean, in short. No such sordid view
prevails in England. where the tub
ranks with the London Times and
cricket as the chief bulwarks OF en-
pire.
There have been those TO doubt this
attitude. Sir William Jenner once
made the traitorous statement; we
English battle far too much" And
when an astonished patient wanted to
know how often he should tub Sir
William answered tartly: "often
enough to keep clean"
Just now the question of the Eng
lishman's ba.h comes to the fore hope
lessly tangled up in the sex question
about which all England seems 10 be
for the moment revolving. "lnuts-
nant Matrons'' and Bath in Two Min
utes' have begun to write letters to
the papers denouncing the English
husbands monopoly of the tub. He
claims first right to the bathroom so
how can poor. downtrodden woman
have a chance! Tubs for Women
seems likely to be the next great out
cry OF the Pankhurst militants.
OF more general interest are the re-
marks upon the bath as ceremonious
social observance. One Englishman
feels that ladies' can be distin-
guished from women" by their bath
ing customs: THE lady is the female
of the species who bathes from a sense
of her social Importance. The WON
an is one who bathes OF not just as
she feels inclined. Some ladies cackie
about a bath like a hen that has laid
a double.yolk egg" 1t is a pleasure
also to note the true Briton speaking In
the person of Claude Champion de
Crespigny. a sportsman and author OF
parts, who thinks that four baths
day is lust about right-"a swim be-
fore breakfast and another after II.
third or shower bath after rackets.
and a Turkish bath in the evening".
From all of which it can be seen
that being an Englishman is still the
hardest kind OF work.
