RIVERS AND HARBORS
ADVOCATES COMING
Lively Convention Promised.
Pointed Remarks Likely to
Be Made.

Predictions that the eleventh annual
| convention of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress. which is to be held
here December ell. will be the live
| hest, as we'll as the largest, in the his
tory of the organization" are made
in an announcement today by the pub
'licity bureau of the Congress.
I'm view Of the attacks which were
made on the last river and harbor bill,
which resulted in the appropriation OF
$40. 600 ooO instead of an amount exceed
ing $50. 900 900, it is mere than prob
able" the announcement says. that
there will, be some pointed remarks re-
gardinZ the right of the people to nave
such Improvement of their waterways
and harbors as they want and are Will
inG to pay for
One feature of the convention which
promises to be of interest will be II
series Of addresses on some or thc
projects VIII ch were most violently AT
lacked during the consideration Of the
river and harbor bill in the recent ses-
sion of Congress-. Senator salisbury,
of Delaware, will speak on The Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal; senator
Sheppard Of Texas on Trinity River,
and Congressman ,Raker OF California
on The Sacramento and Feather Riv-
ers." Congressman J. Hampton Moore,
president Of the Atlantic Deep Water
ways Association, will speak on The
Pork Barrell."
That the pork barrel will be much
beard of at next months convention IL
evident from the mentions made of that
term in the announcement by the XIV
erg and Harbors Congress today.
Apparently the announcement says,
"a good many of those who made it did
not realizs that the charge that river
and harbor bills are pork barrels is a
charge that the United States army en-
gineers are either incompetent or cor
rupt. The officers Of the Congress re
sent this charge with indignation, and
are especially gratified to announce that
the representative of the army en-
gineers at the convention will be Col
George w. Goethals, the world famous
builder Of the Panama canal"
The announcement adds that the
members of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress are not to be lntimf-
dated by the existing opposition to
waterway improvement and will
make this evident at the convention
next month"
Among the speakers at the convention
will be Kai fu Shah. the Chinese min
lister; Senators Weeks of Massachusetts,,
Simmons of North Carolina, and Smith
of Michigan. Speaker Champ Clark, and
eX-Mayor Masee, Of Pittsburgh.

US. TO ACCEPT ALL
COTTON FOR VIENNA
No Office Has Right to Refuse
Parcel Post Shipments, Says
BurIeson. /

Every postoffice in the United States
must accept every package of cotton
ronsigned 10 Vienna for the wounded
soldiers, as suggested by the appeal of
W. G. Shepherd, United Press corre-
srondent at Vienna. Each package, of
course, must have the requisite amount
of postage. hut no office has the right
TO refuse to accept q shipment on the
ground that It is difficult to get the
shipment through to Vienna. Indeed,
[ cannot believe that any office has re-
used to accept packages of cotton con-
signed TO Vienna, or anywhere else in
Austria.'
That was the positive statement of
Postmaster General Burleson to the
United Press today. when he was told
that reports had come in that some
postoffices were refusing to accept ship
rnents of cotton for the Vienna hos
pitfalls. and that other reports were to
the effect that the New York office was
lan.med with parcel post packages con-
signed TO Germany and Austria, and
that no packages were being moved be-
yond that city at present.
Moving Parcel Post.
The Postoffice Department, through
the parcel post division. is moving pack
ages abroad rapidly. and could move
more without any difficulty" con-
unued Mr.. Burleson. 81 have Just con-
cluded a talk with an inspector who

Gel post shipments have been cleaned

positive as II desires that there will be

ITS Vienna correspondent Packages OF
cotton will be moved If they are offered.

LADIES' NIGHTS WILL
Be HELD AT ARM0RY
First Battery of Guard Plans for
Entertainments, Dancing,
and Basketball.

Ladies' Night at the armory is to be
new feature of the winter program
of the First Battery Of Field Artillery
of the District National Guard, accord
ing, to an announcement made by Capt.
Louis G. Vogt today
The first one will be given some time
during the Christmas holidays, by
which time the battery will be COM
fortably established in its new quarters
in the old Business High School build
ing, on First street northwest. near the
Census office. Thereafter the armory
will be open to the ladies one night each
month.
AS one officer put it. the battery is en-
listing the aid of the women in enlist
ing the men. Capt. Eugene C. Edwards,
q retired officer of the District National
Guard, In q brief address to the civilian
artillerymen at drill this week, told
them that they would have no trouble in
getting the men out II they would just
get the women to come. and they are
going ahead on that assumption.
A brief entertainment Is to be given

Power of Student Body
Limited, Thurston Says

THE school author ties will interfere
If any attempt is made to divert re-
sponsibility to the pupils" declared Su>
perintendent of schools Ernest L.
Thurston in commenting uDon the an
nouncement that the student govern
ment system would be inaugurated in
the Business High School and the Nc
X nley Manual Training school.
Student councils, such as have been
recently organ zed in many OF the
schools. are of inestimable value 20
teachers Mr.. Thurston continued, but
the control OF every branch Of the
school work must remain with the urin-
cipals, who will not be allowed to di-
vert this responsibility"
Recommendations from student bodies
will be encouraged by heads of build

these evenings. and this will be fol
lowed by dancing In the big drill hall
on the third floor of the new quarters.
There are about 100 members Of the bat
terry. and among them are some clever
athletic events. and music will fill out
these programs. AS sooE rs the task of
moving Is completed next week, the
necessary committees to arrange the
first ladies' night program will be ap-
pointed
1--WE have had the question of Ladies'
Night under discussion for long time, -
said Captain vogt today, but our old
quarters on B street were hardly fitted
for social affairs, of even the simplest
nature We expect to benefit by this
departure in two ways In the first
place, most of the men are married and
naturally they would like to have their
wives see something of what the arm
orv is like, and what we are doing there.
Furthermore, the more pleasant and
sociable we make 1t there the more
men will want to- enlist, and we have
plenty Of room for the right kind OF
men.
"In connection with this program we
are going to organize a basketball team
and hope to be able to stage some
thrilling contests for our fair visitors.
There are about fifteen men In the bat
terry who have played on other teams,
and we ought to be able to make up
two or three good teams"
The officers of the battery, other than
Captain vogt, are First Lieutenants G.
@. Wilson and G. A. Bonnet, and Second
Lieutenants H. E.. Shilling and E. 3.
Moorehead.
This will be the first branch Of the
District National Guard to initiate a
Ladies' Night as a part OF its monthly
program, and II the plan works out
successfully the example may be fol-
lowed by some Of the other branches,
which include the two regiments Of in
fantry, the signal corps. and the hos
pital corps. The two last named organ
izations will be in the same building
with the artillerymen after December 1.
