MANY Dog RECRUITS
TO BE MUSTERED OUT
ordway Men Must Part with CANNES
When Moved.

When the National Guard camp at Fort
Myer Is moved to the border, or the
Guardsmen mustered out OF the service.
there will be great excitement in the
dog world. No one has ever tried to
take a census OF the CANNES now living
on the bounty Of the company mess funds
but II seems at times as though there
we're a hundred. Little dogs. big dogs,
black, white, tan, and mongrel dogs, pup
pies and other members Of the dog kind
are a considerable part of the population
OF Camp Ordway.
II the men are ordered to leave pets
behind. there will be many broken-hearted
dogs, for the dogs at the camp have
been we'll treated and have made many
friends. Should the dogs be taken along
they will complicate the food and trans

beans and other food tha. Is not relished
by animals.
The dogs will apparently suffer, regard
less Of what Is done. When the men are
mustered out, be 1t before or after trip
70 the border. the dogs, used to living
around large bodies Of men, will be as
lonesome as an Englishman in Berlin.
Dogs are quick to acquire an attachment
for men and surroundings, and after a
summer spent in a way highly pleasing
to a dog, they will miss the good old
times
Pessimism now reigns supreme at Camp
Ordway. Some OF the men were so. dis
gusted with things in general that they
did not avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to see the police games. With
no news of moving orders. the men
are just about through" with military
life. II they are not sent to the border
Il will be difficult for the War Depart
ment to regain the confidence OF the men.
The militia will suffer. despite its fine
training II the men lose confidence in
the military powers that be. There Is a
little comfort for the would be travellers

CITIZEN BODIES VOICE
their Sections NEEDS
Respond to Commissioner Call for
Requisitions on Congress.

Citizens associations from various
parts of the city are rapidly submitting
their requests for improvements in their
sections, in response to the call OF the
Commissioners for requisitions to be sent
to Congress.
This system of having the associations
outline the list OF needed improvements $
was adopted by the Commissioners two
years ago, although previous to that time
number of bodies had sent in requests
of their own accord
According to Commissioner Louis
BrownlOw, the request this year has been
made through the newspapers, whereas
in the past there had been a formal re-
quest sent to each body. The volume OF
replies received thus far proves that the
associations have been very careful in
studying their sections" says Commits
sioner Brownlow.
For the most part" continued Mr..
Brownlow, the requests are purely local
in character, and in the past the action
of the District Committee in Congress
has shown a careful consideration Of the
organizations wants. The Commission
ers believe that the citizen bodies are IN
q much better position to study the
needs Of their sections than anyone else,
therefore the requests received from
them are sent to Congress. together with

BY MILDRED NJ. KooNUE.

On the morning after the premiere per-
formance OF a certain successful play in
Chicago several years ago. the managing
editor OF the Chicago Herald said to the
dramatic critic, Great stun. That's the
best criticism you've written yet"
And the dramatic critic, very modern
Adam, meekly replied, ''the woman did
it," or words to that effect.
The dramatic critic was Frederic Hat
ton; the woman who wrote the criticism
attracting editorial commendation was
Fannie Hatton, his wife, and joint critic
for the Herald, and together they are
authors OF Upstairs and Down." the
new Oliver Morosco comedy which is to
have its premiere this evening at the
Belasco Theater.
A fifteen-minute chat with Mr.. Hatton

Chicago and will arrives in Washington

that talent Is divided on a strictly fifty

young people who are booked for dis

they reach their fortieth milestone. Both
are blessed with a sense of humor which
has proved excellent capital in the pro-

energy and brilliant dark eyes with the

Warren gone, Helen, hurrying
through her morning work, took up
the dreaded note to Mrs. Lawton.
1t was most difficult and awkward to
write. Rejecting various indirect
openings, she wrote briefly:
Dear Mrs. Lawton:
81 am wondering if you have for

expecting guests for dinner Satur-
day, we will need it then"
She was still cropping for a polite,
tactful closing sentence when Dora
came in with a package.
It's real heavy. ma'am. I guess
it's the silver"
1t was the silver. Carefully wrap:
ped in tissue paper, it fairly glittered
from a recent polish.
InexpreSsibly relieved, Helen tore
up the unfinished note and took the
package out to the sideboard. Eight
teaspoons, eight table forks-but
only seven dessert forks!
Again she counted them, crushed
the tissue paper and searched the
Aoor-but the fork was not there.
So Mrs. Lawton had kept the sill

and had now returned it without
even note OF apology or explana-
ton.

From his loins back he was paralyzed.
With last desperate effort he
straddled his forelegs, but he could not
brace himself against the backward
sag Of dead weight. Gerry felt him
sinking beneath him and suddenly
found himself standing over his pros
trate horse. OF True Blue, his forefeet
outstretched, his head and breast still
held high, there was left only a great
spirit chained to a fallen and dying
body.
A cry escaped Gerry's lips--a cry of
horror at what he had done. Then
he remembered why he had done 1t
and ran not for the sluice-gate but for
the bridge. AS he reached it the roar
became deafening. There was a splln-
tering, cracking sound that, meas
ured by the great commotion. seemed
like the tinkle of a tiny bell. But there
was something In the sound that called
TO his brain. He cast glance over his
shoulder. The monster beams of his
sluice-gate, hurled, splintered, into the
air, were still hanging against the blue
sky. Under them surged an angry
white wall of racing water. Even as
he started to run down the long slope
to the house Gerry thought with n
great relief that If the gate had been
closed it would have gone even so, like
matchwood.
Below him Fazenda Flores lay peace
full, still. under the blazing sun. The
cotton was a little wilted but high and
strong, the cane stunted but alive.
Only in the pasture bottoms the stock

quiet house burst Margarita, carrying
her son on one arm. She had seen
Gerry from a window. While the 9TH
ers watched the rising river, and now
this terrifying torrent bursting down
upon them from above, she had slipped
out to run to him.
The house at Fazenda Flores stood
on domed mound. Behind the mound
was a slight hollow before the steady
rise to the bridge began. Gerry caught

Alan cast a curious glance at Gerry.
Dangerous business" he said, fool
ing with the normal level in flood

Lieber nodded and went on. He
told bis tale well. He had seen more
than Gerry could have put into words
Gerry listened for a while, but he soon
wearied. What had all that to do with
him now? He wandered off and start
ed to saddle True Blue. He must get
away from Alan. Alan was drawing
him, but he was bound in chains. He
must remember that. Then, too, what
Alan had said about fooling with the
normal level worried him. He must
go back and station a guard at the
great sluice gate.
A sudden puff of air, then a breeze.
then a gale, swept down on Lieber's
from the southwest. The wind was
hot, a furnace blast from the tOrrid
wilderness. 1t carried with 1t whirls
of dust, light, dry sticks, and,- finally,
small pebbles that hurtled along the
ground. Gerry and his horse sought
shelter by the house. Herders came
running out from their quarters and
gathered in front of the veranda. The
wind suddenly turned cold, dropped
and ceased. The dust settled. The
sun blazed as before. There was not
a cloud In the sky. The herders all
looked at Lieber. They did not talk.
They were waiting.
Lieber shrugged his shoulders.
Somewhere" he said with wave of
his hand to the southwest, there has
been rain and hail and that sort of
thing. Temperature fell and drove
the hot air OFF the desert" He told
the men, but they did not go away.
They stood around, their eyes sweep
ing the horizon to the southwest. At
last one of them grunted. His eyes
were fixed on a distant pillar of dust.
1t came towards them. Lieber used
his field glasses. Without taking them
from his eyes, he spoke. "It's a man,
iuihS' 1OOhS hhS hS . liullS lOL lilSs
Something is up. He's riding to kill
his horse"
As the man approached. dull rum
bling filled the ears of the watchers
So gradual was it's crescendo that they
did not notice it. The rider spurred
and beat his horse to a final effort.
They could see he was shouting. He
drew nearer, and they heard him,
Flood! Floodw Then they noticed
the rumbling. 1t became a roar. Far
