NEW OYSTER RUNNER HERE.
Capt. James Bailey Now Owner Of
Power Sloop Thomas Blades.

Capt. James Bailey, master of ves-
sells that bring oysters from lower
river points to the market here, has
recently purchased the power sloop
Thomas Blades from Baltimore owners
and arrived here yesterday on his first
trip aboard her with oysters. The ves-
sci has aboard several hundred bushels
of the bivalves, less than half she could
carry, and she attracted much attention
lying at the 18th street wharf market
The Blades registers IS net tons and
is 62 feet long on the keel, 17.6 feet
beam and 81 feet deep. She is equipped
with a twenty y-four-horsepower gaso-
line engine that gives her a. speed of
about eight miles an hour, and she can
spread a big sharp sail on her single
mast to aid her along when the winds
are favorable. The Blades was built at
St. Michaels, Md, in 1888. Capt. Bailey
win use her in the oyster business in
place of his former schooner, Thomas
w. Kirby, which he sold several months
ago and which is now in the oyster
trade to this port under another
master.

Spirit of Service Needed.

I'VE certainly need the spirit of ma
tional service in our country. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that a people can
have good government, peace. order and
progress for any long period without
any effort on their part. We in the
United States need to have our patriot
ism awakened, throw off our indiffer-
ence. and think more of our duties as
well as of our rights. Every one who is
fit to be citizen of free country
ought to be willing to serve the coun-
try, when called upon, in. accordance
with his ability. The young men who
are physically fit for military duty
should hold themselves ready to fight
for their country if need be. and If they
are not ready when the need comes
they will not long have any country,
and they will not deserve to have any.
The vast change in the way of car
rying on war which has occurred with
in a very few years has created situa-
tion in which it is perfectly plain that
no country can be ready to defend her
independence against foreign aggres-
sion except by universal military train
ing and a resulting universal readiness
for military service.

STAGE CLOSE MATCH
IN MASONIC LEAGUE
Nationals Defeat Federals in Two
Games by Small
Margins.

A close match was bowled last night
in the Masonic League between the
National and Federal teams. In the
first contest the Federals won by 500
to 496, but the Nationals took the sec
on7l, 1872 to 4S9. The decisive game re-
suited in a victory for the National
five, the score being 447 to 442 The
total for the Nationals was 1,435, and
for the Federals. 1,431 Lebanon won
two out of three from Anacostia, and
East Gate took two from Mount Pleas
ant in the other two contests in the
Masonic circuit.
The Rural Mails made a clean sweep
in the Post Office League capturing its
games from Registry without trouble
In the Capital City organization the
Easterns proved too strong for De
Luxe, taking two contests. The Dixie
A. c. was a victor over the Abattoir
quint in the Northeast circuit, winning
all three games.
The rolling of the players was not
above the usual standard. About the
best scores registered were those made
by Lanahan of the Easterns and Nc
Aboy of the Dixie A. c. The former
knocked down 107, sc and 125 pins, and
the latter 124 81 and 113.

Old Way Is Obsolete.

THE old way of waiting until war
came and then calling for volunteers
has become obsolete and is no longer
effective.
THE National Guard system is not
adequate and cannot be made ade-
ouate to meet the needs of national
defense under any real assault upon
our rights 1t is impossible to have an
effective body of soldiers who serve
two masters and are raised and organ
lied to accomplish two different pur-
poses.
Universal training and readiness for
service are not only demanded by plain
common sense, but they are essential
.ly democratic. They were required by
law during the early years of our re-
public, for every male citizen between
the ages of eighteen and forty-five was
required to be ready to fight for his
country and was required to be trained
and provided with arms in accordance
with the simple needs of warfare IN
those days.
ut is only necessary now to apply the
principles and requirements OF the ma
tional law of 1893, adapted to present
conditions

Must Combat tuberculosis.

Just before he sailed for America Mr..
Honnold inspected conditions in the oc-
cupied areas, and he comes here con-
vinced that the commission must increase
its activities on behalf of the children
ing increase of tubercular troubles among
both children and adults. Mr.. Honnold
added:
Il am sure that the plight of the chill
dren will appeal strongly to the charitable
Instincts of the American people and that
they VIII gladly support us in meeting
this insistent call of humanity.
Since it is the opinion of the COM
mission that the war will continue for
at least another year relief must be
afforded for corresponding period.
This means that the commission which
has now been in operation for two
years, will probably have to deliver
during the next year about 1250,O00
tons of foodstuffs into Belgium and
northern France, calling for an ex-
penditure of more than $3.50, 100000. A
large portion of the population, say
100000 people, owing to the cessation
Of export and import trade are wholly
or partially destitute and have to be
provided with food free of charge
This class will call for fully $50, 900, 900
of charity in the coming year. or over
S5,o00.000 per month. 1t would seem,
therefore, that the more ADEQUATE
feeding of the children now so urgent
ly calling for additional funds offers an
opportunity for further generosity
which the American people cannot but
welcome"
Asked as to the attitude of the Ger
man authorities toward the crops of
the country, Mr.. Honnold states that
the whole of the native products of
Belgium have through the intercession
of the commission, been reserved for
the civil population. The harvest this
year has been a fairly good one, al
though the production is less than 40
per cent of the requirements. In north
ern France, owing to the absence of
the men with the French army, the
peasants have been incapable of plant
ing the whole of their fields and the
Germans have cultivated large areas.
Herbert Hoover. chairman of the
commission, effected last year an ar
rangement with the occupying army
whereby large part of the wheat
actually raised by the people of the
country, roughly one-third of their re-
quirements, was set aside for the civil
population. This arrangement has been
extended to the present harvest, and,
in addition. a similar quantity is now
to be released by the Germans from
the harvest resulting through their own
eXertionS.

Surgeon Carroll Fox, one of the world s

at the public health service that mice as

the organisms responsible for bubonic

Elusive fieas of various sorts inhabit

Thousands of rats have been "combed'

gree just about how many f1eas of a GER
tain species are found on the average rat

1t would seem to lend color to the rat
flea theory, in relation to infantile paral-

were found on the big Norwegian rats
