BID FOR LAKE STEAMERS
Atlantic Coast Companies Negotiating
for Their Purchase

NEW YORK, June 17.-Reports that
some of the Atlantic Coast steamship
companies are negotiating for pur-
chase of steamers now plying on the
Great Lakes were supported to-day by
an admission from the offices of the
Erie Railroad that the company had
under consideration offers for the
transfer OF some of Its lake vessels 1t

came from men who are seeking
steamers to be used In the Atlantic
Coast service. The Pennsylvania, New
York Central, Lackawanna and Lehigh
Valley Railroads also. II is said. are
considering offers to purchase their
Great Lake steamships.
The move to buy lake steamers is
the result of the recent ruling of the
interstate Commerce Commission com
pelling all roads operating steamship
lines on the Great Lakes to surrender
their water routes by December l..
There has been no request for n re-
hearing Of the lake cases, but the exc
cutiVe committee of the Trunk Line

PUTTEE IN ARMY DOOMED.
British Soldiers Will Hereafter
Wear Boots Like the Russians.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
LONDON, July 20.-The British army
has decided to discontinue the use of
the puttee. which has been the distin-
gushing leg wear of the British soldier
for many years. and to substitute the
Russian army boot. This decision was
arrived at as a result of last winters
campaign in Flanders, when it was
found that the cloth puttee was little
or no protection against the mud and
water and led to the men suffering, not
from frost bitten but from benumbed
feet and legs. Large orders, have al
ready been given for boots, which will
be supplied to the troops before winter
sets in, as the war office anticipates
another winter in mud and water soak
ed trenches.
The puttee, which is to be discarded,
was adopted because of it's protection
against snake bites in India, and became
general throughout the British army,
and, in fact since, the commencement Of
the present war has been taken up by
some of the continental armies 1t, how
ever, has proved useless under condi-
tions prevailing in Europe, not only
because of the lack of protection that
it affords. but because of the time it
takes to put it on property.

AID TO SUPERINTENDENT.
Wyoming Minister Appointed As
sistant at Workhouse.

That the Commissioners intend to
operate the District workhouse and re-
formatory when the latter institution
is completed under one management
was further evidenced today by the
announcement that Rev. w. E. Edgin,
pastor of the First Methodist Church
of Cheyenne. Wyo., has been appointed
assistant superintendent of both in
situations. He will not enter upon his
duties, it is stated, for several months.
Rev. Edgin. in addition to being as
sistant superintendent. will oficiate as
chaplain for both the reformatory and
workhouse. He formerly served as
chaplain in the Indiana reformatory
at the time w. H. Whitaker, superin-
tendent of the workhouse, was at the
head of that institution. His selection
for the local position was made on rec
ommendation Of Mr.. Whitaker.
Work on the reforrlatory, which is
to adjoin the workhouse property at
Occoquan, Va, is progressing rapidly
with. the limited funds available. When
Congress meets the Commissioners will
ask for a liberal appropriation with
which to continue the work.

AGAIN TALK Of SUMMER
HOME FOR PRESIDENTS
Various Locations in Virginia and
Maryland. Favored by
Congressman.

President Wilson's absence from
Washington at a time critical in its
nature has brought about a recurrence
of suggestions that Congress ought to
provide a summer home for Presidents
not far from this city and they go as
far as the establishment of summer
capital to which Congress might go
for a change when desirable.
Representative Hay of Virginia and
Representative Henry of Texas ad-
vocate the purchase of Monticello, the
historic home of Thomas Jefferson, at
Charlottesville, four hours ride by
train from this city. as summer home
for Presidents.
Representative Carlin Of Virginia adj
vocates Mount Wheeler, at Bluemont,
Va, on top of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, only few hours away from this
oity. Representative Borland of Mis-
souri, has suggested two Maryland
points-Maryland Heights, near Har-
pers Ferry, or Braddock Heights, near
Frederick.
An organization was formed in Col
orado some time ago to buy splen-
did summer home for Presidents there,
but it did not receive much encour-
agement from the White House.
The proposition has never got far in
Congress, owing to the view that each
President will prefer to make his own
selection of summer home.

Plans Toy Making in England.
,ndence of the Associated Press.

Correspondents OF the ASsUclateU fress.
LONDON, July 20.-The exclusion of
German war toys is what a movement
started by the Countess of Stanford
hopes to accomplish in Great Britain.
But the movement is not alone an in
dustrial one aimed against Germany.
but an effort to provide trade at
which manned soldiers can work when
the war is over. Heretofore Great
Britain has bought about $7,5O0,0O0
worth of foreign toys. which have been
almost all of German make. The
scheme provides for the financing of
the industry by per cent loans. Sur
plus profits will be spent in developing
the technical side of the business.
Needy artists will be given jobs as
designers.
