MRS. CHAMP CLARK FOR
AMERICAN DYESTUFFS
Speakers Wife Declares American
Women Will Be Glad to Use
y. S. A. Products.

Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the Speaker
of the House. in a letter to the executive
committee of the Woman's National
Made in L. s. A League, yesterday de-
clared that If the wearing of American
made dyestuffs would help, American
women would gladly cooperate. She
writes
Il have just received your note asking
me to give an expression of opinion con-
corning the good which might result If
American women would patronize exclu-
stVely the made in America dyestufrs.
50 far as concerns myself, | would
very Cheerfully agree 10 wear only Amer
lean dyed goods, If it were assured that
it would have any appreciate effect upon
the welfare and happiness of the coun-
try at large; and l believe l voice the
sentiment of the great majority of my
country women, when l say that Ameri-
cas- best is good enough for me, even,
il for the present, it might not equal in
beauty and variety the colors produced
in other parts of the world.
For myself. l may further say that
cannot now think of any personal sac
rifce that l would not be willing to
make if thereby should in any way con-
tribute to my Country's needs. And II
is my conviction that ] may speak for
American women from all the walks OF
life, when I say that in this possible
crisis, we will stand by our American
men, To dare with them In war or sui
fer with them in peace

Public Questions.

praised bv Commissioner Newman at a
meeting of the Georgetown Citizens As
ISOLATION in Potomac Savings Bank
Building, Wisconsin avenue and NJ street
northwest, last night.
Commissioner Newman said that If. the

people a practical referendum on all pub
lie questions.
"Of course. we get expressions from
the citizens associations, which are the
most representative organizations We
have under this peculiar form of govern
ment," said Commissioner Newman, But
we all know that the citizens associa-
tons are not truly representative There
are perhaps sixty of you men here to-
night. This is the most representative
organization so far as Georgetown is con-
cerned
The Commissioner said he hoped to live
to see the banks of the Potomac from
the Chain Bridge, near the western Dis
trict line, to Great Fails, converted into

Might BE Uninterrupted.

Orders to the battleship Kentucky o
proceed from New Orleans to Vera Cruz
were Cancelled by the Navy Department

to go to Galveston. Secretary Daniels
explained the changed orders by stating
that he had been advised by Commander

Vera Cruz, that conditions there at pres
ent are so quiet that no additional war
ships are needed.
The Navy Department has been advised
that the action of the United States in
sending another warship to Vera Cruz

spOndenCe between the United States and
Mexican governments fixing the terms of
the reciprocal agreement for the Villa
expedition. have been given wide pub
llCity. The feeling there. the Navy De-
paTtment has been informed, is that the
two governments are working in harmony
in their campaign against Villa.

ment of food and medicines for starving

government vessel bound for those
shores. Secretary Daniels manifested in

after the war. He looks upon the war as
the greatest tragedy in the history Of the
Jewish people abroad.
