BISCUITS IS BISCUITS"
Is IMPRESSION ABROAD
Importers in Germany Think Duty Il
Too High on American
Product.

What is q biscuit? There has been an
impression abroad that biscuits is bis
cults" and that that let them out, but
German customs officials have found a
biscuit is:
"a fine bakers product. sweetened and
favored, and should, therefore, come
under a particular heading for import
duty"
And. in consequence of this epicurean
definition, importers of American bis
cults IN the Fatheriand are forced to
pay a prohibitive duty. So high has this
duty been set that one importer has
made a protest to Ambassador G. A.
taken up by the State Department
Many weighty problems have left their
indent on the massive brows of the
shippers of our ship OF state. But the
latest problem is one that will force
them to get down on their knees and
scrub out the cellars of their intellects.
What is beer?'' What Is a Democrat?''
What is whiskyr'-they have all been
answered. But now comes a proposition
Of preponderant pourousness. and 1t Is
up to the State Department officials
either to substantiate the good old Gen.
tury dictionary, or to agree In the Ger
man version. The Century dictionary
gives this press notice on biscuits:
"a kind of hard, dry bread, consist
ing OF flour, water. or milk. and salt.
and baked in thin. fiat cakes. The name

GERMAN SINGING SOCIETIES
WILL WELCOME WILSON

Plans for the participation of the
United Singers, consisting Of the Saen-
gerbund and the Arion Gesang Verein.
at the inaugural concerts were discussed
at meeting of the Vereinigte Saenger
at Saengerbund hall last night, John
Waldman presiding. A committee was
appointed TO consult to-day with Percy
Foster. chairman OF the inaugural music
committee, as to time and nature and
numbers OF songs to be given by the
German singers.
Letters received by the United Singers
from out-of-town singing societies lead
to the conclusion that they also will
attend the Inauguration festivities
Director Gumprecht. of the Saengerbund
and Prof. Kari Holer. of the Arion, in
conjunction with the respective music
committees OF the socities, have made
tentative selections of the songs which
will he rendered.
The first public appearance of the
United Singers was at the unwilling of
the Won Steuben statue in Lafayette
Park. They passed a resolution to take
part at every Inauguration in the future.
On the ground that the local singers
should extend to the incoming President
welcome to Washington.

NEW STYLE WOMEN
NOW IN PUBLIC LIFE
Mrs. George A. Armes Says New Typ,
Is Not BIue-stockinged
Creature.

Blue-stocking tendencies received an
awful jolt as a result of the participa-
ton Of women in the last Presidential
election, according to Mrs. George A..
Armes, president of the District section
of the Southern Wilson and Marshall
League. Furthermore, still quoting Mrs
Armes, the historic hosiery of the Back
Bay sister, is going to get a still worse
wallop in 1916.
Mrs. Armes sees emerging, from a shell
as 1t were, as little chickens do on East
er cards, a new type OF woman. A new
type of new woman" as ii were.
Says Mrs. Armes, who is engaged in
preliminary preparations for a reception
at the New Willard next Friday to Mrs
Steven b. Ayres. recently elected presi-
dent Of the National Democratic Wom-
ans League:
The new woman is not going to be a
blue-stocking." Mrs. Armes said. "She
Is going to keep abreast of the times. She
is going to take an intelligent interest in
everything that interests her husband,
her brothers, and their friends. She is
going to be able to talk as sensibly on
political questions as upon mysteries of
the cookbook. This new type of woman
has come to stay, and before long the
men In the country will begin to take
notice OF the change"
Mrs. Armes said this new kind of
woman was born during the last cam
paign, and WIN multiply four years hence.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED BOY
SCOUTS WILL PARTICIPATE
In PARADE ON MARCH 4

The part Boy Scouts are to play in
the Inauguration ceremonies on March
will he the subject of a conference
tomorrow in New York City between
Edgar s. Martin. scout commissioner for
the District of Columbia, and James Z.
West. chief scout executive. Having
agreed upon a plan, II will be printed
and copies will be forwarded to the
$500 scout leaders throughout the coun-
try. who, in turn. will bring IL to the
attention OF the 10000 Boy Scouts. II
plans which Mr.. Martin has under con-
sideration meet with the approval of
Mai. Sylvester, chairman of the COM
mittee on public order, Boy Scouts, who
are experts in the art of wig wagging."
will be stationed at intervals along the
line of march of the inaugural parade
for the purpose OF transmitting orders
and instructions and to summon ambu-
lances.
About 100 Boy Scouts plan to come
to Washington for the inauguration Of
President Wilson. Mr.. Martin has been
informed. II is not likely they will par
ticipate in the parade. but will be sta
toned along the line OF march to render
nrst aid assistance They will carry
their regulation first aid kits and
stretchers. and when accidents occur
will be prepared to apply temporary
bandages, sings. and splints pending the
arrival of an ambulance. Scouts also
will be stationed in the reviewing stands
TO render like assistance. Mr. Martin
believes the Scouts will be OF great value
in reviving persons who have tainted, as
all of them are well versed in this work.
Mr.. Martin believes. however. that no
difficulty will be encountered in furnish
ing quarters for the Boy Scouts. as many
of the local Scouts have signified their
desire to provide for visiting scouts at
their homes during their stay in Wash
ington.

Two highwaymen, one attired as a sty-

their faces smeared with lampblack. The

only had Is cents, so the highwayman
took that. and pointing his revolver at

Rescue ships Chccred.
On board the Uranium the panic had
already been quieted, and most Of the
ships company were eating their din
ners. The ship was making water, how
ever. and the pumps had been put zig
orously at work. So rapidly had the work
of rescue gone forward, that at 80 o'clock
the first towboat-the Scotsman-arrived
of the Uranium, followed rapidly by the
Togo, the Bridgewater, and the Lady
Laurier, the latter reaching the scene at
o'clock.
The rescue craft were welcomed by
cheers from the deck of the Uranium,
where the sen having quieted, the pas
sengers had been permitted to congre-
gate together again. The wind was still
blowing hard. however. and the seas
were so high that surf boats were neces-
sary to transfer the passengers from the
deck of the liner to the waiting tugs.
The first load of passengers was taken
OF by the Scotsman and conveyed to the
Lady Laurier at 4:3o p. m. Then it was

BURGLARS ACTIVE
IN VIRGINIA TOWN
Wires Strung Across Roadway as Trap
for Pedestrians-News Notes
of Alexandra.


Alexandria. Va, Jan. 12-Footpads and
burglars were out in full force last night
Just beyond the city limits in Fairfax
County. but so far as can be learned
by the police all OF their efforts proved
unavailing.
A rather unique scheme was adopted
by footpads in the vicinity of the union
passenger railway station. They stretched
wire across the roadway leading from
King TO Prince Street. The wire was
raised a distance of three inches above
the ground and 1t is declared that three
men laid in wait for victims.
Robert Grimes, OF this city, was walk
ing along the roadway on his way home,
accompanied by his mother and sister,
and walking a few feet ahead OF them
he partially tripped by the wife, but dio
not fall.
Later his brother. Arthur Grimes, re-
moved the wire from the roadway ana
the police were notified of the AFFAIR.
They at once repaired to the place but
were unable to find any trace of the
men.
Shortly after 10 o'clock last night
burglar entered the store of c. NJ. Cor
ham, at the old toll gate, West End,
DuEs Street extended, one mile west OF
this city. The robber had gotten to-
getner a large quantity of groceries ana
had the plumber all packed preparatory
to moving when Samuel Wade, who hap
pened to be passing at the time, was
attracted by the store door being open.
He made an investigation, when the burg
lar. white man, ran out of the front
door AS he ran he fired several shots
at Mr. Wade, who later exchanged three
shots with the robber as he ran
down the road, but none took effect. 1t
is supposed that the man lives in that
section.
Only a few weeks ago Mr.. Gorham's
store was robbed by burglars. They prac-
ticalIy removed all of the contents of
the store, and used a wagon in remov-
Ing the loot.
