MAY COURT-MARTIAL
 U. s. ARMY OFFICERS
Who Led Detachment of Soldiers Into Mexico to Rescue Comrades Cap-
 tured by Bandits.

Washington, Jan. 28.-Court-ma tial of the three American army off, cers, Lieutenants Peyton, Mort and Waldron, who led a detachment of SOL diers into Mexico to rescue two com- rades who had been captured by armed Mexicans near Brownsville, Tex, probably will result, if an in- vestigation proves that they violat- ed orders not to cross the internation- al boundary line. In that case it was said, also, they probably would be held responsible for the death of the four members of the rescue party who were drowned in the Rio Grande while returning from the expedition.
 Secretary Garrison who is awaiting the outcome of the investigation said that positive orders had been given army officers not to cross tfe bound ary line without instructions from Washington.
 Prompt action on the part of the Carranza authorities in returning the two captured American soldiers, un- harmed, was regarded here as lndica- tive of a, desire to prove their inno- cence and to show good will toward the United States.

 through him to his government the
 deep regret of the federal council for i the incident at Lausanne and the
 Swiss minister in Berlin was instruct 1 cd by telegraph to perform similar 1 duty to the German foreign office ] The council also sent orders to the ! police of Lausanne to prosecute the i persons responsible for the insult to
 the flag, which is to be hoisted again and adequately protected. | Delegations of the state council of 1 Vaud and of the Lausanne city coun- cil called at the German consulate in Lausanne and expressed the re- gret of those bodies.

 in what is known as the French speaking section of Switzerland and it has frequently been asserted that the feeling regarding the war has run high in that district and that popu- lar. sentiment in favor of the cause of the allies is intense and out spoken.

SLOPER NOT TO SHARE
 IN TITANIC $66O,OOO
Was Not Member of Protec- tive Association of Sur
 ViVOrS.

William T. Sloper of this city, who was one of the survivors of the Iii tanic disaster, will not share in the settlement am mounting to about $6O0,- 900 which is to be made With some
 of the rescued passengers by the
 White Star Line, owner of the ill.,
 fated ship. Attorneys for the White
 Star Line announced last night that
 they had completed a settlement with a majority of the Titanic claimants.
 Shortly after the sea tragedy, MT. Sloper filed claim against the White Star Line for the loss of his baggage and personal effects. Later the sur vivors formed a protection associa- tion to push their claims against the company. MT. Sloper was invited to join but he did not do so, believing the investment of his share of the lawyers fees would not be worth the venture. When told today that the company's attorneys had arranged for a settlement with the majority of the survivors for $660,000, MT. Sloper said he was satisfied with the judg- ment he used when invited to join the protective association.
 z MT Sloper does not anticipate re- cefving any remuneration for the losses caused him when the Titanic went down. He said he would be very much surprised should he re- ceive word he was to be recompensed. He did not file any claim for the per sonal inconvenience caused him by the disaster

ROCK CREEK OPEN AGAIN

Motorists in general have not been
notified Of the fact. but the Police
Department has suspended the rule
against use of powerful headlights
in Rock Creek Park at night. Some
time ago the rule against these daz-
zling lights was put into effect, and
its operation included the park. This
regulation was tantamount to clos
ing the park, after dark, to most au-
tomobilists, for noue of its roads are
adequately lighted.
Protests against this condition led
to the suspension of the rule against
headlights; a suspension, it is ex-
planned, which is temporary, for the
purpose of observing results. II
motorists are careful and reasonable
in the management of their lights,
especially if a proper use Of DINNERS
is made, it is likely that there will
be no revival of the rule that almost
rendered the park useless at night.
