Election day passed off very
pleasantly. 1t was model day
for such a purpose, as the bright
sunshine brought joy to those ac-
lively participating, and they
were many. Automobiles and
carriages were in demand from
early in the morning until after
the close Of the polls, and the
spirit of rivalry among the various
candidates and their supporters
was very active but friendly. The
hustling done to poll large vote
was effective and the 99O-odd
votes that were cast in. the city
precincts showed the result of this
good work. With the counting of
the votes the curtain dropped on
the campaign and election of 1914,
and now for the time politics can
be relegated to the past. OF
course there were disappointments
over the defeat of friends, but this
is one of the problems that con-
front people who become candi-
dates for office, and it must be ex-
pected that only one can be elect
ed to the same office. The can
didates worked faithfully to Sc
cure the prize, and those defeated
on either ticket can look back on
their Jealous efforts with pride
and satisfaction that they did
their best as far as they could see
it to gain an election. All that we
can hope is that those who are
successful will give the county a
thorough, business, economical ad-
ministration, for success IN Off.
cial positions stands higher than
mere office holding.

MONEY CHESTS EMPTY;
SUMMER CAMPS CLOSE
Churches Are Asked Today to Take
Up Collections to Keep Open
Baby Hospital.

Freckled faces. streaming tears, said
good-by to the Camp Good Will. in Rock
Creek Park, yesterday. The coIored camp
also was closed by the Associated Chart
ties because Of lack of funds.
Despite the handicap of short funds,
the Baby Hospital Camp still is actively
engaged in its good work of retaining
human lives. There are at present TWEEN
ty sick babies in this camp, many of
whom went there with the stamp OF
death on their tiny faces, but are now
well along on their journey toward good
health through the medical attention and
fresh air received at the camp.
An appeal has been made by the Asso-
ciated Charities to all churches in Wash
ington to take up a collection at their
doors today. A friend of the camps, in
order TO help keep the Baby Hospital
Camp open as long as possible, has Of
fered to start each church collection with
81. 1t is hoped that enough will be real
ICED to keep the camp open a consider
able length OF time. A number of re-
sponses have been received to the special
appeal for funds for the hospital camp,
but more money still is needed.

Most Deadly and Decisive En-
gagements Between leu
tons and Allies May Be
Fought Above the Clouds.

Actual combat in the air IL what will
differentiate the war Of 1914 from all the
big wars that have gone before. Not
withstanding the stupendous scope OF
the cOnfiagration. the tremendous stakes
involved. the staggering daily cost, and
the millions Of men in the fighting one
of the facts that stand out most prom
inently is that aerial fighting is an in
tegral. matter-of-fact part OF modern
warfare. not a matter OF spectacular
experiment.
An appalling possibility OF the big con-
fiict on the other side of the Atlantic Is
that its most deadly and perhaps decis-
i've battles may be fought in the air.
Three OF the great combatants, Germany.
France. and England. have for years
been experimenting with aeronautiCs and
aviation and building huge aerial arma
das, carefully guarding their aviation
secrets from each other all the while.
Now, in this titanic struggle has come
the time when the flying squadrons"
will be tried out in real life-and-death
tests.
BuiIt to Ram BIriEIbIcs.
Germany. France and England have
regular departments of their navies de-
voted to aerial fighting. They all have
military balloons, dirigibies. and some OF
them armored and equipped with rapid
firing guns and bomb-dropping devices.
France has a special type of military
aeroplane built with a sharp nose for
ramming the huge gas bags OF the Ger
man dlrigibles.
Already the news dispatches from Eu-
rope have told of several hair-raisinE
and sensational aerial battles. One OF
them, the most spectacular. though NOT
verified. was read with thrills through
out the world. It related how a French
aviator. sighting a German Zeppelin on
the frontier. rammed the huge dirigible
head-on and sent it crashing to earth.
killing twenty-five Germans. The heroic
Frenchman went down with the wreck.
so the story said, and died with the
Germans. Roland GarrOs, the daring
French aviator was first credited with
being the hero OF the incident and Paris
newspapers hailed him as the Hobson
of the air. Garros himself. though,
came forward and disclaimed the honor.

SILVER BULLION BILL PASSES.
Senate Measure Directs M'AdoO to
Buy $1,000, 900 Ounces.

The smoot bill, directing the Secretary
OF the Treasury to purchase lo,OOO,OO
ounces of silver, passed the Senate yes
terday Afternoon by a vote Of 81 to II.
Senator Burton, of Ohio; Senator Norris,
Of Nebraska, and Senator Weeks,
Of Massachusetts, protested violently
against the bill. Senator Burton char
acterized It as the worst form OF special
interest" legislation.
Senators from the silver-producing
States insisted that the European war
had made IL impossible for them to sell
silver abroad, and that unless the gov
eminent purchased the product OF the
mines, II would be necessary for most OF
them to shut down, which would anect
not only the mines which produced sill
yer alone, but those in which lead and
copper are the chief products, but In
which silver as a by-product furnishes
necessary part toward the expense of
operation. The bill provides that the
Secretary shall purchase and hold the
silver bullion for purposes Of subsidiary
coinage, and that he shall buy at price
not exceeding the average price at which
silver sold between January Is and July
Is, of the present year.
