Landing OF TROOPS
SEEN At COLUMBIA
Washington Playhouse Shows Ameri-
cans on French Soil.

midsummer Carnival Week"
which was inaugurated at Loew's Co.
lumbia, is replete with features that
lift the bill from the standard of ordi-
nary attractions. Probably the first
in importance were the pictures show
ing the landing Of the American troops
in France.
These pictures were received by the
audiences yesterday with the highest
enthusiasm. The regular program
was quite a bit above the average
and included: THE Little Boy Scout"
a screen story OF love and adventure
on the Mexican border that pictures
Ann Pennington in the title role, and
The Immigrant" the newest Charlie
Chaplin photo-comedy. Miss Penning-
ton is one of the most popular stars
in the "Ziegfeld Follies." Her ap-
pearances on the screen are limited to
the photoplays that may be made dur
ing her New York engagements on the
audible stage. For that reason, "The
Little Boy Scout marks her return to
the silent drama after an all-season's ,
absence. THE Immigrant" depicts
Chaplin's diverting adventures as a
steerage passenger on a big ocean
liner.
The program for the last half OF the
week, beginning Thursday, features
Wallace Reid in big Timber" a ro-
nance OF the California lumber camps,
and Roscoe Arbuckle in "a Rough
House." film farce that is said to
live up to its name. In addition to
these four big features, the week. s
program will include numerous supple
mentary first-run offerings that have
been booked to add even additional
interest to the bill for the carnival
week at the F street playhouse.

FASTEST STOCK CAR,
CLAIM OF PEERLESS.
New Speed Wonder Makes Appear
ance on Washington Market.

The guarantee of a speed of not less
than seventy-five miles an hour with
the implied possibility of eighty-five
miles an hour goes with the new
Peerless Eight. which the Trew Motor
Company Is now handling. This new
Peerless car is characterized as "the
fastest stock car in America"
The Trew Motor Company has just
taken the Washington agency for all
Peerless cars. a line which includes
eleven body models. The new eight
cylinder cars carry an engine rated at
33.S horsepower under "a. L. NJ. tests.
An SO-brake-horsepower can be de-
veloped at 200 revolutions, it is
claimed.
The Peerless factory officials are not
making any great speed claims for the
new model because they do not want
to encourage speeding by Incompetent
drivers, they say. The car is sold un-
der a speed guarantee, however.
The new Peerless Eight has two, en-
tirely separate power ranges. One,
the loafing range. gives the driver a
leeway from one mile to forty miles
an hour The other, a sporting range,
enables the driver to suddenly apply
additional power on steep hills or bad
spots in the road. 1t also provides
quick getaway start.
A specially designed carbureter sup
plies, through double poppets, a heavy
mixture for speed needs, but also
saves gas in the loafing range. The
poppets are open only under heavy
pressure of the throttle. A double
centrifugal pump supplies the water
jacket. Each set of cylinders has its
own exhaust pipe and muffler. Car
bureter, air pump and ignition dis
tributer insure that valve adjustment
is easily made.

THOUSANDS SWELL
RED CROSS FUND
Patriotic Sunday Observed by Sum
day Schools of District.

patriotic Sunday" appointed by
President Wilson as Red Cross day
for all the Sunday schools of the
United States, was generally observed
yesterday by the e0,000 teachers and
pupils in the Sunday schools of the
District Of Columbia, with exercises of
patriotic songs and addresses, de-
scriptions OF the varied Red Cross ac-
tivities and collections for the War
Service Fund. A number OF the
schools had already given to the
fund, but generally they repeated
their gifts.
At the meeting OF Sunday school
superintendents Saturday night,
Chairman Macfarland, of the finance
committee, described the great op-
portunity for patriotic and altruistic
service which the fund offered. He
said that the finance committee took
no risk in guaranteeing to national
headquarters the raising by Wash
ington of the entire quota, $500, be-
fore December 81, and a like amount
at least every year during the war.
for Washington would do its full duty
now as always. Never again, he said,
would such an opportunity for self
sacrificing service occur.
lHe lOOhS lOl
large results from the giving that is
planned by organizations and by in
dividuals for July 4. Chairman Mac
farland said yesterday that certainly
no better celebration of Independence
Day was possible than to swell the
fund that will minister to the needs
OF the patriotic fighting men of our
country and the allies, and of help
less and distressed women and chill
dren. As the author OF the safe and
sane" celebration of Independence
Day in the District OF Columbia, be-
ginning in 1903 when he was Commits
sioner, he heartily approved the
omission of the municipal fireworks at
the Washington Monument on the
night of July l. But he thought that
the citizens, whose public-spirited
gift made that fireworks possible an
nually, should now give the money,
from 1890 to 81 800. which came from
many in small amounts, to the Red
Cross.
The Columbia Country Club golf
tournament will give aid to the fund.
and other similar entertainments will
bring additional gifts.
Chairman mcfarland said yester-
day that the finance committee was
very grateful to all who had made
the congressional baseball game such
a great success, especially Melvin c.
Hazen, chairman, and the other men,
bers of the citizens committee who
had aided Representatives Harrison
and Miller.

German Birds Gagged
Near American Eagle

German jackdaws and other
birds and animals who have been
imported into the Geological Park
from the Teutonic empire cannot
understand why they are being
snubbed and spurned SO consist
ertly.
Which. after all. may be for the
best. For IL they were versed in
the true state of affairs their blood
would no doubt curdle every time
the great American eagles. whose
houses are next to them. utter one
of their famous screeches of VIC
tory.
The Prussian press and propa-
ganda, 1t seems, has overlooked
the local animal kingdom and the
birds are totally ignorant of the
reasons for the sighting manner
in which they are treated. Here
tofore, the throngs which passed
by their cages have given them a
full share of their attention but
now. 1t seems, even the men who
feed them give them occasionally
unwarranted knocks"

WILSON TO PROCLAIM
RULES FOR DRAFTING

A complete set of rules for the
guidanc of the boards which will pass
on questions of exemption under the
army draft have been formally ap-
proved by President Wilson and will
be made public by executive procla-
nation today.
The rules fill booklet Of more than
80 pages, and the majority already
have been made public. They are of
a routine character, dealing with the
red tape of the registration and draft
ing proceeding
A later proclamation will contain
the vital questions of a day for the
draft and the exempt classes.

GUARDSMEN MAY PUFF
To HEARTS Content
District Not to Follow New York
and Forbid Smoking.

The National Guardsmen of Wash
ington are not going to have their
cigars and cigarettes taken from
them.
In New York State Gen. Organ, in
command of the National Guard, has
issued an order forbidding all Ma
tional Guard officers and men from
smoking in public, on the ground that
it would result in better discipline
No such order was ever promulgated
in military circles before, and it has
amazed officers OF the War Department
and the National Guard of other
States
II do not see any reason why men
should be forbidden to smoke in pub
lic." said Gen. William E. Harvey, of
the District National Guard, last
night 81 do not smoke myself, but
1 think the men find solace and pleas
ure in smoking, with a very little
amount of injury to themselves, and
do not intend to issue any such or
der"
The regular army has regulations
which prescribe that men in the serv-
ice shall always maintain a military
appearance when on duty or when in
public. This means that a man must
be tidy. He must keep his hair trim
med, his shoes shined, and his uni
form neat. He must carry himself
as BELTS soldier. He must not wear
his hat on the back of his head or
carry his hands in his pockets. AS
for smoking, he can go as far as he
likes except when on duty. The
smoking of pipes. however, is dis
couraged.
Regular army officers and National
Guard officers of the District think
the order will serve only to retard
enlistments and will not result in bet
ter discipline.
