fessed Attempted Robbery to Police.

Richard Brooks, colored. 707 H street

early this morning. His early morning
outing was not voluntary, however, for
he would have remained home had not
Detective Barbee of the second pre-
cinct issued peremptory order for him
to visit the police station.
'T didn't do it," was his response to
a charge that he had visited the store
of George Levy, 1015 7th street north
west. where he was employed. and made
a futile search for cash.
Brooks was taken to the store.
Footprints in the snow near q window
through which entrance had been
gained fitted the prisoners shoes, and
the police say he then admitted his
lguilt.
According to the police, Brooks said
he had arranged to visit the store of
his employer. rob the cash register and
leave the city with girl friend. He
found no money there, he is said to
have told the police. and was unable
to go away. A charge of housebreak-
ing was preferred against him.

Malaria Stalks in Panama Suburbs.

Indulgence in moonlight serenades
and other nocturnal diversions in the
Panama Canal Zone is unsafe, unless
one is willing to pay the penalty in
subsequent large doses of quinine. Ma
1aria has so largely affected the Ameri-
cans in the Zone after they have spent
an evening at pleasure resorts, espe-
cially in the suburbs of Panama, that
the health department has been obliged
to issue a special warning that it is un-
safe to do SO. In case necessity or
the search for pleasure leads one to SO
expose himself, it is said that quintne
should be taken thereafter.

warning against using grain to feed
animals, especially rye, which is needed

nutritious qualities of potato meal and
advised a greater consumption of milk

| Austrian Losses in Servia.
| Strikingly frank and interesting is
| the official Vienna report concerning
] the Austrian withdrawal from Servia,
| which was due to the terrible condi-
| tons of the country and the weather,
and also the fact that the Servians had
| been reinforced. The ,Austrians lost

| spirit of their army is unsurpa ssa BILE.
The report also brings the first news
| that Field Marshal Oskar Potiorek has
| been relieved of command of the Aus

The Austrian general staff refutes
| the allegation contained in a bulletin
1 of the Russian general staff that the
| Austrians lost 5000 prisoners and a
| number of guns and machine guns de-
| claring this report quite unfounded.
| The total Austrian loss in killed
wounded and missing during the fights
alluded to was 307. No gun or machine

faith in the ultimate outcome of this
appeal, as it CLEANED through the eyes
of the two boys. They went away
with overcoats. new shoes, new hats
and two cowboy suits.
AS in previous years, the coats were
distributed to boys who came recon-
mended by the Associated Charities,

Never Had Overcoats.
On the record of two boys were these
words: ""They have never had an over
coat in their lives.'
Some of the boys came with Christ
mas morning faces. washed and soaped
to a point almost beyond endurance,
while others were obviously draped
with the raggedest sort of rags. Some
of the lads were accompanied by moth
ers, and one very small boy of four
came toddling alon gwith his sister.
His arm was bandaged and in splints.
He explained that he had broken it.

MORE NAVAL VESSELS
BELIEVED NECESSARY
Representative Stephens Will Wage
Fight for Greater Program of
Construction.

When the full membership of the
House naval affairs committee meets
next week to consider and determine
the naval building program to the
House, Representative Stephens of
California, a anember of the commit
tee, will insist upon an elaboration of
the program so as to meet what he
regards as the needs of the Pacific
coast.
He announced today that he would
move to increase the number of sub
marines to be authorized at this ses-
sion Of Congress to sixteen instead of
the '-eight or MORE" as recommended
by Secretary Daniels, and that in place
of the six torpedo boat destroyers also
recommended by the Secretary he
would insist that the number be in
creased to eight.
For Four Battleships.
while he does not intend to take any
jingoistic attitude, he purposes to in
sist that the number of battleships be
Increased beyond the two recommended
by the Navy Department, and that he
believed there should be four battle-
ships This is in line with the recon-
mendations of the general board of the
navy. Mr.. Stephens also will contend
for provision for mfne-layer and q
mine-sWeeper.
The subcommittee on the naval an
propriation bill will meet again Tues
day. and the committee expects to have
the measure under debate in the House
the latter part of January.

The Santa Claus girls assistant. in
charge of the Washington branch of
the international firm of st. Nicholas
& Co.. is today sending to the head
quarters of that corporation her re-
port for business done during the pres
ent Christmas season.
Her books are closed until next win
ter and they show a gratifying balance
on the side of Washington kiddies'
wishes fulfilled through the mysterious
medium of the mails. She was able to
meet every request made by worthy
children that was brought to her at
tention and hopes next year to do even
much larger business.
Letters Late in Arriving.
A dozen letters canfe to her too late
for her to see that the wants of the
writer's get filled today. for the post
mems work is already heavy with con-
gested mail, but the gifts are on their
way and will be delivered at the first
opportunity. In addition to the dozens
of gifts sent to dozens of children, there
are number of toys on her hands left
over, but all will shortly find happy
owners, she says.
the unknown friends who sent or or
dered sent the gifts that reacaed her
office at 3529 10th street northwest
for her to mail to poor children, and
she hopes that the same ones and a
lot OF new ones will cooperate with
her in 1915. She did not arrive on the
scene of operations until rather late
this year, but plans to have her system
in full force by the 1st of next No
vember.
