TEAR-STAINED LETTER
COMMENDS MOVIE FILM

Tom Moore, manager of the Strand
Theater. says he has received many
letters commenting on the picture.
Wars Women" now on exhibition.
Many Of these are from people who
have tasted OF the evils of war.
One of the letters says in part:
How could you know as I do the
worst aspect Of modern war unless
you have suffered as I have? You
have shown a vivid. barbarous. but
true revelation OF wars worst side
in your heart-rending picture. Wars
Women You have so faithfully de-
picted the utter anguish, misery and
pitiless mistreatment OF women in the
hands OF a merciless foe that you
must have been inspired by the suffer
ings of some one dear to you.
Every thinking man and woman
who sees and understands this pic
ture must feel as I do: That this
broad land must prepare to defend and
protect what it holds most dear-its
good and loyal women and children.
God grant that America will rise to
meet the Issue before 1t is too late.

help you. please use It

WAR GAMES PROVIDE
DIVERSION AT ORDWAY
Mlitamen Put Through Strenuous
Tactical Maneuvers.

War garnes'' are now the style at the
camp at Fort Myer. The cavalry troop
and the battery yesterday took up tao
teal problems in which they acquitted
themselves creditably and derived con-
siderable enjoyment
Troop A, as the advance guard Of q
theoretical squadron, sent out from an
imaginary base camp at Alexandria, had
to solve a problem in day and night
reconnaIsance TO determine the strength
position and probable intention of an
enemy supposed to be located at Wash
Ington and about to cross the Axueduct
Bridge for an attack on the Alexandrts
camp. The troop was, il possible. to In
tercept the enemy and retake the bridge
forcing the retirement Of the enemy into
Washington.
A more comprehensive war game than
any yet attempted is scheduled for this
week. All branches Of the service now
encamped at Ordway, with the cooper
alton Of the regulars at Fort Myer, will
stage q game in which the regulars will
be the attacking force.

MILITIAMEN EXPECT
To BREAK CAMP SOON
Rumors Overcoat Are to Be Issued
Causes Optimism.

The clouds are gradually drifting from
the skies and the horizon is clearing
enough for the most skeptical of the
guardsmen at Camp ordway to be con-
vinced that orders to move will come Just
as surely as the tax collector and the
gas man. Hints that overcoats will be
issued soon and other encouraging bits
Of information are at last assuring the
men that there is no trick" in the semi
official hints of an early getaway.
1t is learned from good authority In
New York that the Department of the
East shortly will request the War Depart
ment to make arrangements for sending
the District of Columbia men TO the bor-
der TO replace units about to be with
drawn. As the Department Is thought
to be favorable to a movement and as all
units now at the camp have been report
ed ready" II likely will be only a mat
ter Of days before entrainment.

OLD TONG FAMILIES
SEE CHINKS DEFEATED

Special to The Washington Herald
New York, Sept l8.-When it comes tc
eating soup with Chopsticks the Chinks
have it on all the rest OF the universe
but up to the present time they have
failed-ten of them, at the least-to con-
quer the art of spearing "spitballs" and
losing them in the far distance.
While there was no exhibition of soup
eating, there was a ball game yesterday y
in which a colored team, the Lincoln
Giants, trimmed the University of
Hawaii team, which is composed of full
blooded Cinnamon.
There were Yims, Chins and Leongs-
yes and Charles and Lees on the Chin
ese lineup. All the old families which
have been fighting tong wars" down on
Mott street for the past thirty years
were represented.

coming a household word in Pittsburgh.

well known in G. A. R. circles and served
in the Thirteenth Pennsylvania Volun-
teers for nine months under Col. Thomas
Baine, participating in the battles Of
Fredericksburg. Charlottesville and Get

Two years ago I gave you a testi-
monial for Plant Juice, saying that it had
cured me of a bad case of stomach trou-
BILE which I had suffered from. for six
ears. Ny kidneys were affected and l
had pains in my back. All the medicines
tried failed 20 help me, and think I
had tried them all. l suffered so with
gas that it pressed upon my heart and
caused palpitation and I felt very weak
and miserable. A friend of mine told
me of your medicine, Plant Juice. and
advised me to try it. l noticed imme-
diate results after the first dose, and
after taking it for several weeks 1 was
feeling fine and inside Of three months
was a well man-completely cured From
that day to this I have never had a re-
currence of my former troubles; the pains
in my kidneys have entirely disappeared.
have had no more trouble with my
stomach, and can eat anything l want
without distress. 1 now verify the former
statement made by me for the benefit
of friends who were skeptical and
thought l would not obtain permanent
relief"

Heedlessness of the value of bread and
meat are among the hampering condi-
tions In the management OF homes by
the women who run them. she said yes
terday. She advised cooperation between
the District and Federal officials and the
housewives OF Washington, to the end
that a solution of the milk and bread
price problems might be solved with in
jury to none.
This afternoon at 1:3o o'clock there will
be meeting OF the milk distributors of
Washington and the producers in the
office Of ]. C. welliver in the Munsey
Building. Details of marketing the pro-
duct will be discussed.
Dealers in condensed milk look with
more or less satisfaction upon the diff
ficulties that have arisen In the path of
the vendor of the ordinary. dairy variety
of milk for they believe, according to a
number of grocers. that should an in
crease in the price be posted. the sale OF
condensed milk would be materially
enlarged.
In a statement Issued yesterday George
NJ. Roberts, District superintendent of
weights, measures and markets, said he
believed there should be a standard
weight for. bread, but that the price
should be allowed to vary" He said he
considered II would be unfair to enact
legislation fixing the weight Of the loaf
at 16 ounces and compelling the sale OF
each loaf at cents when the cost Of
