badly, for the upkeep of the camp, for
the assistance of poor babies whose
health. present and future, depends
largely on their being able to stay at

open until September /. That is the
reason for the call for donations to the

more than were ever before aided at

ENSIGN SEEKING WAR.
Request for Permission to Enlist in
Europe Is Refused.

Secretary Daniels has refused the re-
luest OF an ensign of the United States
Navy. who wrote him asking for leave
d absence with permission to go abroad
or the purpose of volunteering for
active service with one of the warning
european armies or navies
This young officer. who is stationed on
warship on the Pacific coast, unhesi-
;atingly said it was his desire to take
oart as a combatant in the European
conflict. He supported his request with
he contention that he would be able to
obtain much valuable military informa-
ion through this means.
Secretary Daniels refused to grant the
application on two grounds-first. that
american naval officers could not be
spared. and. second. that the United
States was neutral in the European war,
and it would be improper to permit an
American naval officer to attach HIM
ielf as combatant to one of the hostile
'orces.
Department officials declined to tell the
lame of the officer or whether he ex-
pressed preference for any particular
nation now engaged in hostilities.
