WALK Of FIVE MILES
ENJOYED BY H|KERS
Forty Wanderlusters Traverse q
Route From Cherrydale to
Chain Bridge.

Another outing was taken by Wash
official" account of which is as fol-
lows:
"a walk of about five miles was en-
joyed yesterday afternoon by nearly
forty of Washington's wanderlusters
from Cherrydale to Chain bridge, under
the leadership of G. A. Gambs. While
a number of old trails were utilized,
several new features were included.
The first point of interest was little
Italy," a small settlement situated on
a crest Of the Virginia shore line and
hid just enough in the trees to escape
the eyes of the casual traveller. The
ascent from the river is rugged and
winding. The mixers had the adj
vantage, however, of descending this
hill instead of ascending. With small
huts, built out of anything handy and
barely tall enough for a man to stand
upright in, little Italy is almost Il
typical mountain village. There is but
one street and the huts are huddled to-
gether along this. with a patch of a
garden here and there.
Through Deepest Ravine.
Descending to the river its course was
lOlIo"Su " SWNAliliIHS lduuliiS, Tile ucSp-
est ravine in this section, about IT'S feet
down at its mouth from the top of the
cliff. Many beautiful views of the river
reward the traveller along this rocky
shore. The powerhouse of the Columbia
Granite and Dredging Company, used for
the air drills in their quarries, was an
other point of interest before the SWIM
ming landing itself was reached. BY spe-
cial permission we passed through the
private estate of W. F. Roberts. and while
near his house Mr.. Roberts greeted the
mixers by unfurling old Glory which is
also regular part of the hiker outfit
In passing, the little assembly on the
porch broke forth to the tune Of Home.
Sweet Home
Upon leaving Mr. Roberts place and
coming to the top of the hill a delight
full breeze refreshed us after a little
'closeness' in the hollow of Swimming
landing. A fine view of the Washing
with setting Of trees and storm-c col
ored clouds, was another worth while
feature. To the right, too. was the dim
outline of the wireless station towers
at Arlington.
On Crest Of Ridge.
1.-The last mile and half was along
the crest of the ridge, across Rhode
dendron run, to the mouth of Pimmitt
run, and thence to Chain bridge: and
because it was mostly smooth walk
ing it made a delightful ending to a
trip which, though at places rough,
was voted by every one as one of the
very best yet.
THE desires of the moonlight stroll
ers will be granted in a walk from the
intersection of Wisconsin and Massa-
chusetts avenues next Wednesday,,
leaving at 1880 o'clock. Transfer to
Tenleytown cars and get off at Mas
sachusetts avenue, at st. Adams. The
walk for next Sunday has not yet been
determined, but will be later"

nection With the Subject
i of National Defense.
STATEMENT IS ISSUED
BY BRIG. GEN. C. A. DEVOL
Relations That Must Exist Between
Military Departments and Vol
F! untary Aid Associations.

Prompted by the widespread interest
now being shown in the question of
military preparedness, the public is
concerned a. to Red Cross war relief
work and the part it would play in the
event of the United States engaging in
war.

eral manager of the American Red

duly promulgated orders of the War
and Navy departments relating to the
furnishing of volunteer aid to the sick
and wounded of armies in time of war.
1t apparently is not fully realized that
war relief work must be accomplished
under definite regulations; that pre-
else plan of action was long ago adopt
ed, and that 4 nationwide. officially
recognized and chartered relief organi-
cation, with departments designed to
meet every phase of war relief work.

Regulations Prescribed.

The War Department and the Navy
Department long ago formulated reg
ulations governing completely the du-
ties and functions of the American
National Red Cross with reference to
rendering aid to the land and naval
forces in time of actual or threatened
war. The sign of the Red Cross is pro-
tected by law and the fraudulent use
thereof is punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment or both.
president Taft in 1911. by proclama-
ton to the army, stated briefly the re-
lations that must exist between the
military departments of the govern
ment and volunteer relief in the event
of war. General orders. No. ITO. War De-
partment. 1911, publishes the proclama-
tion. stating in effect that the Ameri-
can National Red Cross is the only VOL
unteer society authorized by this gov
eminent to render aid to it's land and
naval forces in time of war; and that
any other society desiring to render
similar assistance can do so only
through American National Red Cross !;
that to comply with the requirements
of article 10 of the international Red
Cross convention of 1906 (revision of
treaty of Geneva) that part of the
American National Red Cross rendering
aid to the land or naval forces will con-
tinue a part of the sanitary service
thereof

Established Rules of War.

'"The conduct of war is regulated by
certain we'll established and recognized
rules that are usually designated as
the laws of war, which comprise the
rules, both written and unwritten, for
carrying on of war, both on land and
at sea. Should there ever come time
when the United States would be in
volved in war, it would be imperative
to enforce with the utmost stringency
the law, and the executive and depart
mental orders governing the use of the
Red Cross emblem and the functions of
the governments chartered, supervised
and systematized volunteer relief as
ISOLATION.
"All volunteer aid must come under
the direction of the American Red
Cross in such a contingency to carry
out the obligation of the United States
under the treaty of Geneva, to fulfill all
requirements imposed by Congress, to
secure efficiency under centralized au-
thority and trained organization in
close utilization with the army and navy
medical service. and finally to safe
guard the American public against
fraud and abuse.
ut should be understood that the sur
geons general of the United States
army and navy are appointed by the
President of the United States to rep
resent these departments in relief work.
They are members of the American
Red Cross executive committee, and
chairman and vice chairman, respec-
lively, of the war relief board.
All accounts of the American Red
Cross are required by law to be aud
tied by the War Department, and an
annual report, also required by law,
detailing the activities of the organi
zation, is made to Congress by the
chairman of the central committee. 1t
may be seen from this that the Amer
lean Red Cross machinery would be set
in motion at once and that its activities
would be definitely co-ordinated with
the legislative and executive work of
the government in time of war. Merely
as an example of it's preparedness in
one branch of its organization. there
are 5000 enrolled American Red Cross
graduate trained nurses who have been
accepted by the War Department as the
Army Nursing Reserve Corps.

AMERICANS NOT ANXIOUS
FOR so. AMERICAN TRADE

New York, Sept. lt.-Dr. S. Rowe,
secretary general of the Pan Amerl-
can tlnanclal congress, who returned
today from a three months "trip to
South America where he studied fl
nancial and industrial conditions, de-
clared that in Peru and Chile espe-
cially he found a feeling Of disap-
pointment that American exporters
had not taken advantage OF oppor-
tunities to build up closer trade rela-
tons
Dr.. Rowe. who is professor of sci
ence at the University of Pennsylva-
MIA, was Instructed by special mis-
sion from MI McAdoo, secretary Of
the treasury, to confer with finance
ministers.
American exporters, DR.. Rowe de-
clared, failed to adjust themselves to
the changed conditions brought about
by the European war. He found tat
they appeared unwilling to grant cred
it such as South American countries
were accustomed to receive. Manu-
facturers here must overcome this, if
they would capture the trade of South
America, in the opinion Of Mr.. Rowe.
He also found more direct and rapid
communication betwe - this country,
and those of South America crying
need.

Not Justified.
"England's cOntiscatiOn Of $4,000, 900
worth OF American meat products is
not justified by the facts or any prin-
ciple of international law. 1t can only
De construed as another step in Eng

citizens Of neutral countries.
All these shipments were destined
to neutral countries and the ships pa
pers at the time of their seizure clear
ly showd such facts. They were not
destined to or for the enemy Of Great
Britain and upon trial of the case, no
evidence showing they were destined
to such enemy Of Great Britain was
adduced and none could have been.

NO Action Contemplated. ~,
Washington, Sept. 1G.-No action
by the United States government in

court is contemplated at the pl esent

planned today that while there have
been some preliminary steps toward
diplomatic negotiations over the seiz-

held because the American packers
preferred to exhaust all legal rene
dies in England before invoking the
aid of their government.
Therefore, the state department has
been only an interested observer of

this condition would continue until
