was shaken as by an earthquake. In
manufacturing the bomb the dynamiter

The police have detained Francis Jo-

In Regiment.

A whiriwind recruiting campaign to
get the necessary men to all up the
Third Regiment will be conducted by
the officers and enlisted men this week.
Every effort will be put forth to get
the needed recruits within the next sew
eral days so as to make II possible for

General Harvey called at the War De-
partment yesterday and was Informed
that the orders for the District militia

though there have been rumors at the
mobilization camp that Fort Myer Is
the furtherest point South that the Dis
trict militia Will reach. General Harvey

Jutant General Mccain OF the War De-
partment has not only told him that the
men were to 90 to the border but urged
MIN to get the necessary number Of re-
cruits at the earliest possible day.
Welcomed by Men.
The Information was brought back to
the camp by General Harvey and was
welcomed by the men. The date of their
departure has been postponed several
times. and they have been on the verge
of being disheartened. but the latest in
formation from the War Department has
revived their enthusiasm.
Capt. r. w. Fullam, adjutant Of the
Third Regiment, announced today that
the officers In the camp have definitely
decided to adopt the bonus systen for
the promotion Of the troops.
Every militiaman who gets a recruit
Will be given ~ from a fund raised by
the officers to encourage recruiting.
Captain Fullam further states that the
money would not be paid to the mon
as wages for work. but would be pre-
sented to defray expenses incurred by
the soldiers In getting their friends to
enlist. The " Is supposed to cover car
fare. meals. and other incidental ex-
penses In entertaining the prospective
recruits.
To Get 81 q Man.
The bonus plan was definitely adopted
at a meeting of the officers last night.
Every officer promised to pay g. to de-
fray the expenses in getting recruits

promised to get after prospective re-
cruits at once.
In view Of prospective recruiting. Col
Glendie B. Young announced this morn
Ing that every man in camp could have
liberty until 4 o'clock this afternoon
without a pass. Heretofore no men
have been allowed to leave camp at any
time without a pass.
Immediately upon receiving this In
formation at regimental headquarters,
scores of men dressed themselves with
out their uniforms. and came to Wash
ington to talk up recruiting with their
friends. Officers Of the camp expect
good results In a recruiting way from
the visit OF SO many militiamen to
| Washington.
While only three companies in the
Third Regiment are up to the minimum
| strength Of fifty-fve men. the other nine
l companies need but a few recruits &c

Elevated Road Orders
New Cars for the Stout

BOSTON. July 23.-For the express
accommodation of its stout patrons the
Boston Elevated Railway Company has
ordered forty-two new cars with doors
five inches wider than those now used.
There have been numerous complaints
OF the narrowness Of the present doors,
and the elevated management has de,
termined that everything possible must
be done for the comfort and conven-
fence of It's fleshly patrons. Besides, the
new doors will enable two thin persons
to enter together, thus saving time.

The patrol Of the allies covers a tri-
angular patch Of sea near the Southern
drill grounds of the United States navy.
On this expanse the allies may have a
fleet OF any size with little chance Of
its being observed from land save by
accident.
This triangular expanse is bounded by
the paths taken by transatlantic liners
taking the southern, and northern
routes. and by the midway course used
by American coastwise steamers.
Large Fleet, Is Belief.
The fact that one of the patrol boats

has led to the supposition among naval
experts here that the patrol Is COM
posed OF large fleet, and not Of one
or two cruisers alone.
The theory continues that II the outer
patrol boats fail to catch the Deutsch-
land. the entire squadron will scatter
over the seas and conduct an intensive
search for the German undersea craft.
They may be aided in this by sub
marines. aeroplanes. and motor boats.
Thus the Deutschland will be harried
like a rabbit pursued by hounds on her
entire return trip.

There was indication today that Great
britain Is due for her share Of sharp
notes. Two big issues Affecting British
American relations loom np large IN

coming week. ,
One ia the matter OF mail seisures. al
ready vigorously protested. The second
Is the blacklist issue. which officials
have indicated seem bound to bring
forth another strong demand for ex-
plantations.
Following the conference yesterday Of
Sir Cecil spring-Rice with Acting secre-
tary Of State Polk In regard to the Brit
ish blacklist. 1t was indicated that these
Informal conferences will continue In an
effort to clarity the situation.
Working on Statement.
Meanwhile the British foreign office is
understood to be working on a statement
giving Great Britain's official position
In regard to the ban on vessels trading
with. her enemies.
Since the order was addressed specif-
ically to British merchants, and the
British government did not communicate
the black list to the British ambassa-
dor here. 1t was pointed out today that
Great Britain will try to hold to the
position that the black list is purely an
internal affair.
1t Is held by British authorities here
that legitimate American firms will not
be injured by the black list. and that
even German firms In this country. which
have confined their business to their
own line will not be affected.
UAs to the mail seizures II was stated
officially today that this government

Getting OIL From Needles.

Investigations of the yield and the
ralue of cedar oil obtainable from some
of our southern and western trees have
been made by the forest service partly
with a view to the possible utilization
of waste material left after lumber

In these investigations, longleat and
western yellow pine leaves produce the
most promising results, but the needle
oils obtained from these pines did not
surpass the already firmly established
spruce and hemlock oils.
