.STR|CTER GUARD PUT
ON j. S. DOCUMENTS
Petty Thefts and Missing Papers in
State, War and Navy Build.
ing the Cause.

Special steps have been taken by Col.
Harts superintendent of the State.
War and Navy building. to afford bet
ter protection to the great mass Of i'm
iportant records of the three depart
ments housed in the big granite struc
ture. Extra precautions to safeguard
these records were made necessary by
reports from different Offices of the dis
appearance recently Of various papers
from the desks of officials. Many
petty thefts have occurred in the
building recently. and the heads fear
that unless better protection is af-
forded more serious depredations may
occur.
1t appears that most of the thefts
have occurred during the absence of
the officials and clerical employees be-
tween 4:30 in the afternoon and 3
o'clock in the morning
1t is realized that too much care can
not be taken to guard documents per-
tanning to the foreign relations OF the
government and the plans and records
of the War and Navy Departments, es-
pecially documents relating to military
and naval preparations for possible
eventualities.
This state of affairs has resulted in
tiens for admission to the building
after office hours and of greater vigi-
lance on the part of the regular em-
ployes during regular business hours.
Patrol System Established.
With a view to securing greater eff
cheney from the force of watchmen, Col.
Harts has abolished the old system of
fixed posts, except at the main en-
trance to the building, and has substi-
tuted systematic patrol of all parts
of the big building after the clerical
employees have been dismissed for the
day During the closed period admis-
sion to the building Is confined to the
east and west entrances. and is limited
even then to persons known by the
watchmen to have business inside. The
watchmen get frequent instruction in
their duties and are inspected in
body every Monday afternoon.
According to one of the officials this
increased vigilance will minimize the
chances of the loss of war plans. con-
fidential dispatches and state papers.
The heads of the three departments are
giving Col. Harts cordial support in
his efforts to improve the watch serv-
ice.

Korea's Exclusion of Religious
Teaching Is Only From Schools,

President Wilson expressed the opin-

governor general Of Korea forbidding the
teaching of religion in schools having
general curriculum did not affect the
rights of Americans under international
law. No protests had been received SO
far from American missionaries.
Inasmuch as the japanese forbid even
the teaching of their own religion in the
