GREAT PUBLIC INTEREST
IN COMMUNITY FORUM
Public Questions Will Be Discussed
Today at Grover Cleve.
land School.

Great public interest in the first COM
munity forum in Washingto which
starts work this afternoon in Grover
Cleveland School. Sth and T streets
northwest. is manifested in requests
made to the officers and guiding spirits
from all over the District. asking if the
meeting today will be open to the public.
The answer is YES"
This forum is to start at pm. in the
assembly hall of the school, with several
distinguished guests seated on the plat
form. These include Miss Margaret Will
son, daughter of the President: Oliver
p. Newman. president Of the board Of
District Commissioners, and Henry p.
Blair, president Of the board of education.
The speakers are: Representative Robert
n. Page of North Carolina and Edward
j: Ward of the United States bureau of
education.
While it is probable that the presenc.
of these noted persons is in part re-
sponsible for the desire of many to at
tend. there have been repeated INQUIRIES
as to whether persons from other sec
tons of the capital will be allowed to
participate in the discussions.

Public Issues to- Be Theme.

The purpose of the forum is to pro-
vide unembarrassed opportunities for
the fair presentation and free discua-
sion Of public questions, and until some
other community forums are establish
ed in other neighborhoods the assem-
blies Of the Grover Cleveland School
are open to all citizens of the District
who are interested in matters Of nun
lie interest. Should there be forums e.
tablished In other parts of the city, the
Grover Cleveland School will be limit
ed to residents of the immediate neigh
borhood.
Representative Robert Crosser. who
was largely responsible for the passage
of the law opening public schoolhouses
for the use of the people of Washing
ton, said Yesterday that the forum be-
pLrtant and potentially valuable start
that has been made toward using pub
lie schoolhouses not only for instruc-
ton but for a place where public
matters could be discussed.

APPROPRIATION BILL
FOR DISTRICT NOT BEGUN
Hearings Closed, But Subcommittee
Not Likely to Make Early
Report.

The District appropriation bill, it is
indicated among House leaders, will
not be reported to the House for a
long time to come. Hearings on the
bill have been closed. but the subcom-
mittee having it in charge has not be-
gun to get it into reporrable shape.
The legislative, executive and judi
cial bill, which carries approximately
$3s.000,000. is expected to be reported
favorably some time this week, if pres
ent plans are carried out. 1t is be-
lieved that no radical legislation will
be included in the bill, and a member
of the subcommittee is the authority
for saying that there will be no at
tempt this year to include in the bill
any legislation affecting tenure of
office for civil service employees.
Keating Resolution Considered.
The Heating resolution to authorize
the bureau of labor statistics to conduct
an investigation into the cost of living in
the District of Columbia, is before
subcommittee Of the District commit
able report will be made to the full
committee Tuesday. The Page loan
shark" bill. raising the rate of interest
permissible in the District, is also be-
fore the District committee and is like
ly to receive action of one sort or an
other within a short time. Representa-
tive Pages bill for an annual license
tax on motor vehicles in the District
may be reported soon.
Armory Bill May Be Delayed.
Just what action will be taken on the
Dyer bill for an adequate National Guard
armory for the District is problematical,
but it would not be surprising if that
measure should be made to wait until the
public buildings and grounds committee
frames it's omnibus public building bill.
The Dyer bill is not likely to be made a
part of the omnibus bill, but inasmuch as
it is part of the committees program
the members believe it would be better
for all concerned to frame definite plan
for all legislation now under consideration
there.

WEEKLY REPORT OF
THE STEEL MARKET.

New York, October S.-Weekly reports
have been made of iron since October 1.
with prices advancing from $3.50 per ton
and domestic traders have awakened to
the advisability of covering untitled re-
quirements at once because of the heavy
sale for export. Upward of 100000 tons
were placed under contract during the
week More than half of this was sold
to export to Great Britain and France.
New York export agents of southern
furnaces have sold more than zoe, 900 tons
for foreign shipment in the past two
weeks, and also large tonnage to go
into domestic consumption. In the last
two days further sales of southern basic
have been made for September and Oc-
tober deliveries.
Large guarantees and heavy traffic,
present and prospective, are prompting
the railroads to release more orders for
equipment, Notwithstanding the high cost
of construction. Orders for $500 cars,
including 500 for the Carolina, Clinchfield
and Ohio, have been placed and in
Quiries are in the market for 1900 more
cars as we'll as for 118 locomotives.
Some supplementary rail orders have
been placed and inquiries for $1,000 tons
more are in the market for late 1917 and
early 1918 delivery. N
The pressure for steel plates is phe-
nomenal. Orders for 100000 tons more
for pipe lines and for boats have been
placed. and inquiries for 100000 more are
on the market. Foreign buyers have paid
to 4hc for ship plates. and 10 cents a
pound is bid for boiler plates. Agricul-
tural implement manufacturers are en-
deavoring to buy more steel bars. Many
other consumers are buying and prices
are IS a ton higher.

Thirty Thousand Citizens to Take
 Military instructions.
"PIattsburg Idea" to Be Carried Out in Seven or More Camps at Important Points This
 Summer.

Washington. Thirty thousand young Americans will undergo mili- tary training under regular army of fcers this summer. This is the advice the house and senate military affairs committees have received from the Military Training Camps association of the United States, at 31 Nassau street, New York city. This association has charge of the enrolment of men in the seven or more camps of instruc- tion, at important points in the United States in the period from April to Oc- tober, this year
 These men will represent students, business and professional men and other vigorous Americans from all walks of life who will be thrown to- gether into the melting pot of military training in the interest of better Amer ican citizenship.
 The camps founded on the "Platts burg idea"-so called because the first camps of that kind were held at Platts- burg, N. Y, on the banks of Lake Champlain, last summer-were uni formly so successful that demands for more camps of the kind have come from all parts of the country.
 Since, under present conditions the men at the camps are obliged to pay their own expenses, the training imposes no obligation whatsoever for subsequent military service. The mem bers have to subscribe to nothing that might bind them to join any military organization. They simply put in four or five weeks of healthful outdoor life in tents, under the very best-known sanitary conditions. and under the training of some of the best equipped and experienced officers in the regular army.
 The men who enroll can for the most part be divided into four classes; (a) men whose occupations or home ties do not permit them to enter the national guard with it's fixed night drills, (b) men of the laboring classes who have a prejudice against the militia because of the liability to strike duty, (c) men who, as matter of principle, will never support force subject to even partial state control and (d) men living in the country too far away from n militia organization to make service in it possible.
 The men trained in these camps can be formed into regiments. subject to a prescribed course of field training and thus form a reserve force, under an ex- elusive federal control, side by side with the national guard.
 While the instruction camp training
