GUARD DETAILS
KEEP TROOPS BUSY
Drills at Fort Myer Camp Are
Abolished Because Of
Pressing Duties.

Daily drill has been abolished at the
national guard camp at Fort Myer.
New guard details have been added
to the duty roster, and In several in
stances, the details already In force
have been Increased. Ar q result
every man in camp Is on guard duty
at least one day out OF every three.
Since q guard detail lasts twenty
four hours, the officers have decided
that the men are entitled to the In
tervening time to rest up.
The new details include the guard
ing of the two city armories, and q
large detachment at the post guard
house at Fort Myer..
The guardsmen lieutenants contin-
ued their examinations for promotion
In the armory at Fifth and ID streets
today. Yesterday they underwent
physical examinations. Today they
are being given mental tests The ex-
animation deals chiefly with the man
'ual ofiarms, and military law.
An Unusual feature OF the examina-
tions Il that several Of the officers
are being tested as to their fitness to
hold positions they have been holding
for almost a year. Rigid physical
tests made following the Presidents
call last June resulted In the disQuali-
flying of q number of officers. Non
commissioned officers, and. In some
cases, privates, were appointed to the
vacancies.

officials OF rifle clubs in Washington
a letter explaining the purposes of
the league. Application blanks are

at is my honest belief" he says,
that every red-blooded. loyal man in
the United States at this particular
time is anxiously casting his eye
around for a place in which he can
best serve his country in this, its
supreme hour, even though he may
be so situated that he can not volun-
teeer his services to the army and
navy and each man will feel relieved
as soon as he finds a niche in which
he may do his Bit for his country.
Washington, practically the war
Capital OF the world. should be provided
with adequate defense. and I am salts
fed that the rihemen unit. as a dis
tinctive part of the Home Defense
League. will prove equal to any emerg-
ency which may arise"
Members are requested TO send appli-
cations to Colonel Winter. Winter

DOMESTIC SENIORS
GIVE TO RED CROSS
Sell Their Chattels at Auction
to Aid In War Relief
Work.

"GoinE at 90 centsI Who'll give cor
Sixty cents offered Who'll make It
85T Sixty cents, once; 60 cents twice;
90 cents-here you are, Junior, take
this scarf and slip four bits and a
dime into the box for the District
Red Cross"
The clamor OF hammer and the per-
suasive tones-distinctly feminine
of an excited auctioneer brought
passersby to a sudden halt in front
OF 1850 Wisconsin avenue yesterday.
They peered inside. All they saw
was a group of school girls, crowdtng
around a sofa on which the pleading
auctioneer was standing, hands out
stretched for relics dear to the
school girls heart that were being
sacrificed under the cold hammer OF
the auction block.
Old music, tattered and frayed at
the ends; cherished bits of prize sew
ing, secondhand scarfs, hats, wells
or pennants were piled UP in name
less profusion behind the auctioneer.
The girls were buying frantically.
There were convenient slips for /. o.
U.'s-for this was a word of honor
auction-and bidding ran high and
feeling higher.
Relic after relic fell by the block.
There are two versions OF what
happened next
The innocent bystanders yer tured
to the doors and craned necks for a
better view of things. They saw
girl on tiptoes, reaching for a scarf
which the auction block was about
to commit to unknown hands. When
she couldn't reach it she began to
bid extravagaDtly. Pretty soon the
article found its way back to the
owner.
THE auctioneer took It without
leave. I'm just buying 1t back" she
voluntarily explained to a questioner.
Personal property of the senior girl
students OF the National School of
Domestic Art and Science, Inc, was
being bought by the juniors and the
proceeds-the amount is withheld be-
cause no one can appraise the value
of girls treasures-were given to the
District branch of the Red Cross for
war relief.

TRADERS ON TOUR
TO ENLIST MARINES
Retail Boosters VIII Forego
Commercial Effort to En-
large Fighting Force.

For a number OF years the Retail
Merchants Association has had each
spring a trade-boostinE tour OF lower
Potomac and Chesapeake bay towns.
practically the entire membership
taking part, and each year the event
has been Just a little bigger and bet
ter than on the year previous. So
successful have these outings been
that the several hundred business
men look forward to these boosting
excursions with much the same feel
ing that they have looked forward to
their vacations.
Disappointment was felt by many,
therefore, when Joseph A. Berberich,
chairman OF the booster committee,
announced yesterday that this spring
there would be no trade-boosting out
ing. Their disappointment disappear
ed. however, when Mr.. Berberich ex-
planned that, although there would
be no trade-boosting outing, still there
would be an outing, and that the
boosters would devote their energies
to enlisting recruits for the marine
corps.
The boosters will be free to boost
all they want, said Mr.. Berberich,
but instead OF boosting for trade,
they will all boost for Uncle Sam
The idea was unanimously indorsed,
and indications are that this Years
outing Wilt be one OF the largest in
the history OF the organization.
-As a consequence Of the needs of
the nation, the Retail Merchants As
sooiation is going to set aside boost
ing for business on its annual spring
trip" said President R P. Andrews,
~and instead will appeal for recruits
to this popular branch of the military
service"
Arrangements for the recruiting
campaign were discussed by the
booster committee yesterday with
Maj. Gen George A Barnett, COM
mandant of the marine corps.
1--WE are going to make this the
most notable demonstration ever at
tempted by a trade organization" "
Chairman Berberich said today. 'Un-
like previous booster trips, mercan-
tile business will be strictly barred
on this occasion, and the energies of
all our members will be devoted to
enlisting recruits. We are starting
our campaign today. The trip to the
lower river landings May 26, 81, and
% will mark the elimination of this
movement"
The steamer St Johns has been
chartered, and Manager St John has
announced that the boat will be i'm.
mediately sent to the Alexandria ship
yard for repainting to put her in
shape for the trip.
Secretary Charles ]. Columbus is
preparing literature for circulation
throughout the territory the boosters
will visit, in order to stimulate inter-
est in the marine corps.

WARNS OF LONG WAR
Correspondent Tells Press Club Rus
sia 10 Weakest Spot.

"Unless this nation Immediately
raises an army of 100000 or more
men, this war will be long, and our
losses on the western front alone
will exceed 100000 soldiers" This
was the startling statement made at
the National Press Club last night
by Stanley Washburn, until recently
a newspaper correspondent in Russia
There is a grave possibility that
the Germans proposed drive on
Petrograd may become a grim real
ity, in which event the Russians
chief munition base would be de-
stroyed. and they might be forced to
sue for a separate peace, continued
Mr. Washburn.
The correspondent asserted that an
army of even 1000, 900 men compris-
ing an expeditionary force to France
would be insufficient.
In discussing the recent revolution
in Russia Mr.. Washburn declared
that German intrigues are still in
progress in the nation. and the men
at the head of the republican gov
ernment are hampered by them.
The lecture was greeted with un-
usual enthusiasm.

MILITARY CROWD AT
EOPOLUCCI BENEFIT
Civilians Also Join Comrades in
Paying Tribute to First
American War Victim.

Dress uniforms OF blue and field
service uniforms OF omnipresent
olive-drab, wide-collared blouses of
"jackies" and white-belted coats Of
mArines-such were the component
parts OF the picturesque throng that
filled the band hall at the marine
corps barracks last night, where q
beneht dance was given for the
mother OF John A. Eopolucci, the
American seaman who lost his life
when the steamer Aztec was tor
pedoed by German submarine,
April 1.
Every branch of the armed forces
OF the United States was represented.
and paid its tribute to the first of
their comrades in arms to die in the
present war, the crowd being swelled
by a large number OF civilians who
were no less appreciative of his
sacrifice.
Fort Meyer CavaIrymen Present. I
A large contingent came from the
cavalry post at Fort Myer, being dis
tinguished by their yellow trsppings,
which made such a striking picture
in the escort of the members of the
French war commission yesterday.
Not a few infantrymen, artillerymsn,
and members OF the Engineer Corps
were present also.
But probably the most noticeable of
all were the bluejackets, in the same
branch Of the service as was First
class Boatswain's Mate Eopolucci, and
many of whom knew him personally
and served with him on the Dolphin.
The marine corps also was well rep
resented, interest Of its members be-
ing increased by the fact that both
the father and grandfather of the
missing sailor were for many years
members of the Marine Band.
f, Marine Band Provides Music.
The dance was given by Gen. Leon
ard Wood Garrison, No. IS, OF the
Army and Navy Union. Commander
Charles F. Rougeau was chairman
ex offcia of the committee on ar
rangements. He was aided by Adjt.
Thomas F. Dwyer, OF the garrison, and
Sergts. T. II. Harris, r. F. Finnucane,
and Harry Young, OF the marine corps.
A section OF the Marine Band, di-
rected by Sergt. Taylor Branson, fur
nished the music.
President Wilson and Secretary of
the Navy Daniels acknowledged IN
vitations to attend the dance, but
said the press OF duties made II i'm
possible for them to attend. The net
amount received for Mrs. Eopolucci
was in excess OF 5000.
