A Reason For Hats On.
iitor Of the Mall Bag:

To the Editor OF the Mall Bag:
The discussion as to whether a gentle
man may keep his hat on in the pres
ence of lady while a passenger in an
elevator used in the way OF business.
seems to be a topic OF moment among
your correspondents.
When II comes, to a matter OF defer
ence to ladies. men generally do not
care 10 be considered lacking In polite
ness.
If hats on in the presence OF the
female sex in the public elevators be
regarded a mark that one Is not dis
posed to pay proper difference to wom-
en-. In eXtenuation of that practice per-
NIT me to enter the plea that men have
been quite compelled TO adopt the prac-
tice for reasons of eXpediency. fol-
lowing the doctrine of safety first.
The elevators in office buildings. or
business establishments. are crowded to
the full squeezing capacity not infre-
quently. and at such times there Is no
place for ones hat of the head.
In other words. hats on in public
elevators has come about for the prac-
teal reason that there Is restricted
standing room in the average elevator.
and the hat cannot be readily dotted
with safety TO the hat. EFT c.

Boom Capital" His Slogan.

To the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
In your valuable paper a few days
ago there was brief story OF resi-
dent OF this city who was out West
making political speeches during the
late campaign, and who at that time
took occasion to touch briefly on the
needs OF Washington as a city. and as
the nations capital / never met the
gentleman referred to. but I, for one.
would like to shake his hand
Washington needs many things. but
nothing so much as q wider under
standing on the part OF the citizens Of
the states who look to this city as their
capital. 1t is no small task TO educate
and interest a hundred million people.
but that is what we who love this city
must set ourselves to do. Whether the
host here to visitors from other sec
tions. or the guests OF those whose
knowledge of Washington is more or
less superficial, we can always find
time, as this one man did. TO awaken
new interest I'm the Capital.
Already this work has been well
started in many cities. but IL we OF
Washington will take advantage OF 30
per cent of our opportunities to adver-
tise the town we will. in six months,

GENERAL RENNENKAMPF

General Rennenkampf will be re-
membered by American readers for
his splendid work for Russian arms
n the Manchurian war. To him was
attributed a very large share of the
credit for the fact that the Japanese
lid not make Mukden a Sedan. The
Russian army, though badly beaten.
got away, prepared to fight another
day; and that fact forced Japan to
make peace on terms that would not
have been possible had the great
victory at Mukden been pressed to
the point of a capital disaster to
Russia.
Now we learn that Rennenkampf
has been dismissed from his import

TAKING OF BELGRADE.

The occupation of Belgrade by an
| Austrian army is an event of very
much more military significance
than might at first be realized. Bel
grade is the capital and the metrop-
oils of Servia. 1t occupies a highly
exposed position on the Danube, i'm
mediately opposite Austrian terri
tory, and has been under siege from
the beginning of the war. Some early
successes by the Servians, largely
due to the withdrawal of the great
masses of Austrian troops for the
! fighting against Russia, did not ulti-
mately affect the fact that Austria
is great and Servia a very small
power. In the long run, Austria
was almost certain to win against
Servia, if she found it necessary to
concentrate enough force in that d.
rection.
Servia's future will not be decided
in battle, but in council. But Servia's
relation to the strategy of the war is
of the greatest Importance. Turkeys
advent as the ally of Germany and
Austria doubtless inspired Austria
to the recent determined efforts to
conquer Servia, for Servian territory
separated Austria from Turkey. The
route of the Orient Express, the most
famous train in the world, perhaps,
lies through Servia. Vienna and
Constantinople cannot communicate
by rail for the purpose of moving
troops and supplies back and forth,
until between them they dominate in
Servia. The taking of Belgrade will
be regarded as important because
it is the key to establishment of d.
rect through-rail communication ty-
ing the three allies together in an
effective unity.
The other side of the case presents
the next set of consequences that
may follow upon Austria's conquest
of Servia. Italy cannot sit calmly
by and see Servia extirpated. The
immediate result of the fall of Bel
grade, therefore, is to knit the Ger
man-Austrian-Tu Turkish alliance closer
together; the secondary effect is
likely to be an irresistible impetus to
the Italian national sentiment which
is urging Italy into the war as a
member of the anti-Germanic alli-
ance.
Thus the war takes on more and
more the character of a real world
conflict. Germany has ambitions
which look to the Levant. So has
Austria, which feels that she must
dominate in Bahama, and must not
let Constantinople become Russian.
Italy foresees that her African en-
pire will crumble if the Germanic
combination establishes itself as
dominant in the Levant. The taking
of Belgrade gives the war, as in an
hour, an outlook to Constantinople,
Suez, the Red Sea, and India, more
clear than ever before.

Suffrage No Longer a Joke.

To the Editor Of the Mail Bag:
Sufrragfsts have cause to be proud OF
winning two States to their standard
during the last campaign. but to me
it seems they are overlooking the most
significant change which has taken
place The idea Of ridiculing and poldng
fun at the suffrage cause seems to be
dying out. and people in general are
willing to treat a serious subject In q
serious manner. 1 noticed a crowd
about a suffragist making an address
q the street corner not long ago. and
II was as quiet. orderly. respectful, and
interested as could be wished. Many
probably disagreed with the speaker,
but at least they were willing to, give
ear to her cause and treat her as hu-
man being and not AS a huge joke.

Pleads For More Direct Chantv.

To- the Editor OF the Mail Rag:
l read long report in a newspaper
last night about how charity is
dispensed IN the city of Washington.
Our people give clothes. furniture. etc.
away to certain organizations, who in
turn sell them. Why could our citizens
not give these things away to parties
v HON they know to be deserving Why
could our citizens not hold meetings to
solicit funds for the starving poor of
Washington, and let the chief of police
instruct his men to hunt up those in
reed and give them coal. wood. etc,

authorities. anyway. to dispense charity.
And. again. il is not charity, because
cur tradesmen are out of employ msnt.
They spend their money when they

LARSON SUBMITS REPORT
Showing An Excellent Condition of
the Athletic Associations
Finances.

According to the report of G. L. Lar
son, graduate manager of the Idaho
football organization, a healthy con-
dition of the finances is shown. The
total receipts from games was $466S. 35
while the total expenditures were
$4329.4S leaving a surplus of $33S.S7.
Other expenditures incidental amount
ed to $79.67 leaving cash on hand in
the hands of the manager at the end
of the season of $25920.
The receipts from the various games
during the season were as follows.
Gonzaga, 5000; w. S. c., $1709 As;
Whitman, $1OS.9O; o. A. c., $1,000;
Oregon, $3.50; Multnomah, $1,000
In commenting on the report Mr.
Larson says: 1.-THE past football sea-
son can be considered a financial sue
cess in every way. AS this report will
show, the season ended with surplus
of 1897 %, so that it was not neces-
sary for the manager to draw on
the season ticket receipts.
THE last $500 of the old debt was
paid off by the Athletic board from the
season ticket receipts and for the first
time in the momory of the writer the
athletic department of the A. S. q. /.
is on firm financial footing
The report of Graduate Manager
Larson is extensive in detail and in
the list of expenditures there are 109
separate items totalling the sum Of

printing the detail expenditures, how

you breathe it.
When using this treatment, you

Nv reach the most remote air cells OF
the throat, nose and lungs. the ca
tarrhal germs are destroyed-quick
and sure relief results.
Hyomei often restores health to
chronic cases that had given up all
hope of recovery. It's best action is
at the start of the disease when the
breath is becoming offensive, and con-
slant shifting, discharges from the
nose, droppings in the throat, or that
choked up feeling begin to make life
a burden. AT the first symptom OF ca
tlrrhal trouble, surely use Hyomel. ASK
