PUPILS ARE INSTRUCTED
IN ANSWERING OF ADS
Proper Way to Apply for Position
Taught at 0 Street Voca-
tional School.

A study of newspaper advertisements
and the making of them practical fol-
instruction purposes is being tried al
the Street Vocational School as g
part of the English course in that in
stitution.
Using a want ad'' clipped from a
newspaper which calls for a young
man or woman in the sort of trade
represented by the classes at the
school, pupil. as prospective
employe seeking work, makes applica-
tion in person to the teacher of the
class, who represents the employer
The pupil is closely questioned by the
teacher. Questions which will bring
out the qualifications and the lack OF
qualifications are asked the pupil
The teacher does not interrupt the
questioning. The conference between
employer and applicant is carried on
in the presence of the class and the
pupils write down any comments which
seem worthy of note. The manner OF
approach and departure of the pupil
is carefully observed. After the con-
under the direction and guidance OF
the teacher. Then the teacher gives a
criticism and advises the student ap-
|plicant on the necessary phases of the
conference.
Personal Application Important.
In commenting on the experiment j
Moria Saunders. principal of the school
said:
THE ability to make personal appli-
cation for position in answer to ar
advertisement is. to my mind, almost
as important as being qualified. tt
want a position and to know how te
ask for a position are two entirely diff
ferent propositions. Many persons o;
excellent qualifications have failed tt
get work because they could not prove
their abilities before an employer, be
cause they did not know how to ash
for what they wanted and because the.
did not make favorable impression
upon the employer.

trade school will start to earn thei

the teacher opportunity to instruct thu
pupils in the courtesy of greeting al

Clean Up-Paint Up Signs to Be Dis
played at Opening of Spring
Campaign.

Orders for more than 1900 clean up
paint up signs. to be displayed on de-
livery wagons, automobiles and other
business vehicles, have already been
received by the clean up-paint up COM
mittee. which is to conduct campaign
in Washington, beginning Easter Mon
day.
These signs are painted on muslin and
are to be attached to vehicles by means
of strings, SO that the vehicles will not
be marred or defaced in any way The
committee expects to place at least
1000 of these signs by the time the
campaign opens.
Aid of Schools Pledged.
Cooperation of the school authorities
has been pledged to the committee in
the effort to place between 10000 and
10000 clean up-paint up" buttons
among the school children of the Dis
trict.
These buttons. as well as the signs
for business vehicles, are to be fur

readily understood; Russia and
France have hard and fast alli-
ance, and Russia might have felt
that her interest would be safer, af-
ter the Byzantine capital had been
taken, if her ally were a partner in
its taking.
Making the first attack in March
may have been necessary in order
to insure Russia's confidence in the
faith of her allies. To prepare and
move a big land force for action in
conjunction with the fleet would have
necessitated a delay that in the cir
cumstances might have been highly
impolitic. These details it is quite
impossible for the British admins
tration to explain publicly in answer
to interpretations. Indeed, the mere
fact that such questions are asked
constitutes an embarrassment to the
military authorities quite aside from
the chance that it may expose to
enemy countries the fact that there
are political differences among the
entente nations.

THE SUBMARINE FLOTILLA

A run of 1900 miles in six days,
without replenishing supplies or
taking on fuel, is a severe test for a
submarine f1otilla. That the K-1,
K-2, KS, and ks were able to ac-
complsh that feat without mishap
will go farther to vindicate the eff
cheney Of the American submarines
than any number of reports and ex-
plantations.
The quartet of submarines made
this run, from Key West to New
York, in order to reach the scene of
the great naval review of yesterday
These four comprise the fourth di-
vision of the United States sub
marine fotilla. Twice rough weather
was encountered which might have
caused damage had the boats not
been in the best condition.
It further was learned that this
fourth division of the fotilla hao
another severe test just before de-
parting from Key West for New
York. This was "battle run" OF
500 miles from Pensacola to Key
West. This trial was made under
war conditions as nearly as possible
and the report of Commander Yates
Sterling, jr., indicates that the flo
tilla performed as we'll ir that test
as 1t did on the later trip northward
Also arriving without mishap in
New York were the submarines Ell
E-2, d., D-2, and D-3, which had
been stationed at Annapolis.
At a time when the navy is under
fire, and such fire is directed es-
pecially at the submarine equipment
and operations, it is only fair tc
take into account evidence of a high
efficiency such as that shown or
this trip.

Plays and Players at
the TheaterS
NATIONAL.

To attain the vim and dash of a
Coban show, and blend with II the
whimsicality and drollerv of Raymond
Hitchcock, is a formidable undertaking
for a summer stock compsny. 1t was
successfully attained last evening by the
Aborns, with the efficient assistance OF
Robinson Newbold.
To Newbold fell the part of The Man
" no owns Broadway" he who only
spent one night In Denver In all his
life. he who loved his little bachelor
apa artment, and likewise he who ex-
planned the show just couldn't end until
IL clock, because that had been going
on for years"
That Is sufficient Identification. prob
ably, for any one who ever saw the
production, and the audience gave evil
dence last evening of being well az
quainted with the original. They fuzzy
vindicated Mr.. Cohan's theory that the
public likes best to laugh at the jokes
1t knows best. And Newbold's litelike
impersonation OF Hitchcock lent yer yer
isimilitude to many of the jests which
have passed into current speech.
When Newbold interpolated All
Dressed Up and No Place TO Co. the
audience reached the apex of it's en-
joyment. But he was far from being
the only contributor to a most enjoy
able evening. Inez Bauer and william
Pruette. jr., were there again, and pre-
sented most artistic number. Ihe
Evolution of Dancing
Most cordially welcomed was Eileen
Castles. possessor of voice of rich
ness. clarity and power. Her one solo,
She's in Love With One of the Stars"
was q captivating number.

they could sing. they average distinctly
higher than the choral group of many
road musical comedy companies. and

Dixie Blair, Nelson Riley. Theodore

cessfully to give the action and move

THE SPHINX OF ITALY

There is one man in Italy who
hears, but does not speak. He is
called the uncrowned king. Four
times he has been premier, and for
fifteen years has been the most pow
erfu1 man in the kingdom. Govern
ments have risen at his call, others
have fallen when he gave the sign.
On the eve of its overthrow the last
Sonnino cabinet received the votes
of three hundred deputies.
The same Sonnino is now foreign
minister. The present premier, Sa-
landra, was his foreign minister. The
situation is just reversed. Both Sa-
landra and Sonnino are for war. Gio-
litti, the silent power, the man who
is said to "hold the chamber of dep
uties in the hollow of his hand" is
recognized as being the leader of
the neutralists. Prince Won Buelow
the German ambassador to Italy, is
said to have dealt chiefly with him,
as being the man who finally would
decide for war or peace.
But there comes time for even
a sphinx to speak, or to be removed
from the councils of men. That time
will come in Italy next Thursday
when the chamber is convened. The
affairs of Rome are in such a state
that the decision cannot be longer
delayed. She has Austria s. ultimate
concessions. There is no doubt she
has been informed of the advantages
she would derive if she cast her LOT
with the triple entente.
There is no difference between the
desires of Giolitti and those of Sa.
landra and Sonnino. The former has
believed that Italian nationality
could be completed without resort
TO war, that Austria would be will.
ing TO cede the territories which
Italy deems essential to that end

CHURCHILL AND THE FLEET

The British admiralty has been
brought under criticism by reason of
the failure, thus far, of the campaign
against the Dardanelles. Winston
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty.
is charged with having run the navy
after the manner of landsman, and
in conflict with the opinion of the
sea lords.
Asked in the commons whether
Admiral Fisher was consulted with
regard to the attack on the Darda-
nelles in March, Mr.. Churchill said
he was. Asked whether Admiral
Fisher expressed the opinion that
the attack ought not to be made in
the circumstances, Mr.. Churchill said
he did not.
1t would appear that the attack on
the Dardanelles by the fleet, unsup-
ported by an army, was quite appar-
emily political move. Early in the
present year there were persistent
reports that Russia had been ap-
preached by the central empires in
the effort to make a separate peace
with her. Those stories were denied.
and the assurance was given that
Russia would stand by the original
agreement Of the triple entente pow
ers that they would make peace
only in common.
But it is very apparent that Rus
sia'S chief hope of great advantage
to accrue through her part in the
war, lies in the direction of Constan-
tinople. The one proceeding that
would be certain to keep Russia
loyal to the triple entente would be
a prospect that Constantinople would
be made her prize of the war. For
her to take it alone would be i'm
possible, because that operation
would require the massing of force
in the southeast so large that the
German frontier would be exposed
Russia, therefore, can readily be con-
ceived as saying to her allies:
"You have naval power, and can
take ConstantinOple. If we carry the
burden of the eastern military cam
paigning, we will expect you to com
pensate US by using your navaI
forces to take Constantinople fo,
u.s."
1t would not need more than ar
intimation of this sort to convince
France and England of the political
necessity for acquiescence; and it is
worthy of note that when the time
came for the attack on the Darda
nelles the task was taken up jointly
by French and British naval forces

THE PROPAGANDlSTS

What country, of all engaged IN
the war, comes nearest to having
the United States unanimously on
its side?
Belgium, of course. After BEL
gium, we believe, France.
Belgium, because she is an inno-
cent bystander. France, because she
was assaulted unfairly by superior
power, when she did not want or ex-
pect war, and had given no possible
cause.
There have been no propagandas
from France in America. England
has flooded this country with the
literature of it's cause and its case.
Germany has done the same. Yet as
to England and Germany there IS
decided division of opinion here. AS
to France there is almost none.
Perhaps the consideration of these
facts by the German and British au-
thorities would move them to dis
continue lne pIOpdSdiiua puoiiS''
and trust the American people to
get their own information and make
up their own opinions. They will do
those things, anyhow; they will not
be led, directed, steered, managed.
Their sentiment toward France
strongly suggests that they rather
like the compliment that is implied
in letting them alone to do their
own opinion making.

Seventeenth Street and the Proposed
Street Car Line.

To the EDITOR Of TIiE TIMES
There is real need for better trans
portation facilities north and south, but
the way to get then. is not to incrC4 Sc
their number but TO increase their eff
cheney.
1t is always a. bad practice to put
double car tracks in a street not wide
enough for two lines of vehicles be-
tween car and curb. and for this pur-
pose not less than fOrty-eight feet will
answer, but Seventeenth street is only
thirty-two feet wide.
There is plenty OF room. however. on
the car tracks of Fourteenth street and
Connecticut avenue for at least double
the number of cars now used. 1t is
practical to run cars with thirty seconds
headway, as Is done in many places
and If they were run with one minute
headway in Washington II would prob
ably furnish ample accommodation.
A really good bus line on Sixteenth
street is very desirable. but is should
be supplied with an ample number OF
modern vehicles with seats on top like
teenth street should be trimmed up sc
that there would be sixteen feet head.
room over the roadway. This would not
ONLY allow buses to travel close to the
curb, but be much better for the u"-
velopment of the trees in the futln q
In fact on all other streets whore there
are no bus lines the trees should be
trimmed up so that there would be
twelve feet head-roOm over the road
waY and eight feet over the sidewalk
The New York buses ire seven fee'

TWENTY-FIVE on top; weigh 5000 pounds
