KLAXON WARNINGS USED
In VERDUN TRENCHES

The latest use for Klaxon automobile
horns is at the listening posts along the
French lines at Nerdun. William r. Fay.
of the American ambulance. who has just
returned to New York. brings with him
this information.
THE listening pests" says Mr.. Fay,
ARE located in front of the French lines
sometimes within a few feet OF the lines
Of the enemy. The men who volunteer
for service at these posts are among
the bravest in the French army. for 1t
means almost certain death. They must
also have extremely acute hearing, in
order to detect indications of a gas at
tack.
when these indications are heard a
button is pressed, which sounds the
Klaxon horns and thus gives warning of
the attack to the trenches behind. enab-
ling them to put on their gas masks and
prepare"
In many other interesting ways are
Klaxon horns contributing to the great
conflict. On the ships OF the French
navy they are used to signal gunners.
Vehicles of the American ambuIances
are equipped with them, and they are
used in large numbers on motorcycles
of dispatch riders. They are the same
Klaxons which In Canada and the United
States are used so extensively on auto
mobiles, and whose warning note is so
familiar to every motorist and pedes-
trian.

FAR EAST TRADE
|. OF J.. 5. MENACED
so-Japanese Treaty May
Bring Collapse Of Amer
lean Interests.

Official confirmation Of the Russo-Jap-
anese treaty. which may vitality affect
foreign trade interests in China, has
been received from the American EN-
bassy at Toxic.
The new convention has aroused keen
interest here, for 1t empha sizes the pos
sibility OF a complete collapse of Ameri-
can interests in the Far East II the pol
icy initiated by the Wilson adrninistra-
ton under the Bryan regime is contin-
ued.
The administration now seems ready to
turn from this earlier policy, to consider
the expediency OF resuining a policy of
support and encouragement OF American
bankers in China, and even Of particl-
pating anew In the so-called fiye-power
loans to China.
The administration would not regard
this course as change OF policy" They
contend II is consistent with the previ-
GUS doctrine announced by the President.
They draw a distinction between So
called straight loans" and loans which
are dependent upon concessions that
China might make to American bankers
They insist that the so-called straight
loans" do not fall within the condemna-
ton Of the earlier policy announced at
the White House.
The fact of the matter seems to be-
though, that the President and his ad-
visers, chiefly as the result of the new
Russo-Japanese pact, have cause to real
ize that the influence of the United
States as a factor in China has steadily
dwindled since the withdrawal from the
flve-power loan and that only a resump-
tion OF the activity of American bankers
in this field can restore the prestige OF
the United States.

SAYS G. O. P. MUST TOLL
HARD FOR WOMAN VOTE

THE Republicans must do more for
the national woman suffrage amendment
than the Democrats have done if they
wish TO capture the Woman's Party
vote" yesterday declared Miss Alice
Paul, national chairman of the Congress
slonal Union for Woman Suffrage. She
has just returned from an interview with
Gov. Hughes. Gov. Hughes received by
appointment at the Astor Hotel on We'd
nesday Miss Paul and Miss Alice Carpen-
ter, vice chairman OF the finance commit
tee of the Congressional Union and one
OF the most influential women of the late
Progressive party.
IF the Republican party continues to
dream il has nothing to do but sit tight
and profit by the Democratic mistakes In
regard to the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment it is destined to a sad awakening"
she continued.

REPORT DOOMS
FAKE AUCTIONS
House Committee Acts Favor
ably on Bill Backed by
Local Merchants.

The fake auctioneer with his gilded
watches, gaudy china, and prize pack
ages practically was legislated out Of
Washington yesterday with the favorable
report of the District Committee OF the
House on the bill designed to drive these
commercial frauds from the city.
Such restrictions are placed upon
auctioneers under the terms Of the bill
that the nlegitimats hawkers of cheap
jewelry cannot operate successfully as
they are liable TO heavy fines for dis
regarding its terms.
Numerous complaints that local resi-
dents and visitors to the Capital had
been victimizedrb by these fake auction
sales brought about Congressional action.
It had been the custom of the un-
scrupulous actioneer to rent a vacant
store, move in a stock of cheap and
worthless watches and jewelry, hang out
the red flag, place ballyhoo man in the
doorway, and auction OF the goods as a
bankrupt stock.
Under the terms Of the bill reported
yesterday, which is expected to pass
both branches, the District Commission
srs are authorized to issue licenses for
auction sales and have arbitrary power
to revoke the permit If they have reason
70 believe the auction is a fake.
The bill specifies further that there
shall be no public auction of Jewelry be-
tween 7 D. m. and a. m. from April
10 September 30. nor between s p. m. and
a: m. from October 90 TO March 30.
A description Of the goods to be auc-
toned must be furnished and the repre-
sentations under which they will be sold
will be required. A fee OF not more than
$50 Is to be charged.
There are provisions in the bill which
protect the honest auctioneer engaged in
the pursuit Of his regular business, and
the sale of certain goods and real estate
are exempt from the provisions of the
bill
Credit for the legislation goes largely
10 the Retail Merchants Association.
which brought the matter officially be-
fore Congress. They have already had
their law against fake advertising placed
upon the statute books, and legislation
against bad checks now is pending.

HERALD contest ENDS
TOMORROW night
All Solutions Must Be Submitted Be-
fore 6 P. M.-Not Too Late Yet
to Enter Race.

The last call for The Herald's mid
summer puzzle contest is being made to-
day and tomorrow. If you have not yet
registered your solution of the fascinst-
ing problem you will have to hurry to
get into the game, for no solutions can
be submitted after o'clock tomorrow
evening. If you have not heretofore con-
sidered entering the contest, but would
like to share in the awards, you can find
encouragement in the fact that even
though you enter at the last moment
you will have just the same standing
as IL you were among the first.
The conditions OF the contest are easily
understood, and they can be best under
stood by referring to the announcement
and everybody who t1es IL will find that
untangiing the letters and forming them
into the phrase, THE United States" is
an interesting pastime. The problem Is
simply test OF patience, accuracy, and
a reasonable amount OF skill. though in
reality II Is so simple that anyone who
is really careful should not go very
far astray even II he is unable to ar
rive at the best possible solution.
A few contestants seem to have mis-
understood the rule that every solution
to be duly recorded must be accompanied
by a certain amount of money which
will be placed to the credit of the bender
for a subscription to The Herald. II
the contestant is already a subscriber,
the subscription will be advanced in sc-
cordance with what is paid. As the prizes
are based solely on the amounts paid
by those winning them, If nothing be
paid, nothing can be won, regardless of
the possible correctness OF the solutions
This information is given so that those
who neglected to inclose a remittance
may send one now with another blank
before the contest closes. In Washing
ton this amount may vary from 90
cents to $3.50. and for mail subscriptions.
from IS cents to 81, which all should re-

Fight to Break WIN to Begfn in

The legal battle of Edward B. Mclean
to break the will of his father. John r.
Mclean, who left an estate estimated at
more than 15.ooo.ooo. probably will not
begin in the District Supreme Court until
November or December. From now until
october there will be only one Justice on
the bench. and he will hear only emer-
gency litigation.
The next step IN the suit probably will
be the filing of an answer to the caveat
of young Mr.. Mclean by the American
Security and Trust Company, named
executor In the will Issues then will be
framed between the contesting parties,
and the case will go to trial by jury with
Mr.. Mclean as plaintiff and the Ameri-

WAIT DISTRICT CONTROL.
Commissioners Oppose Placing Park
Under Army.

In opposing the bill Of Senator Sauls-
bury to give the army engineers sole con-

Jointly by those engineers and the Dis

yesterday told Congress they should have
exclusive Jurisdiction. not only over Rock
Creek, but over the entire District park
system.
The Commissioners point out that to
abolish the present joint control would
tend to increase the cost of running the
park, and that a serious question would
arise as to the policing of the park.
