The War Capital as You
Would See 1t Yourself
BY DAVID VI. CHURCH,
J. y. s. StaT Correspondent.

Berlin Citizens Eating Lion Meat
says the headline in the noon edition.
Reading the headline the man in
Washington wishes that he knew
where he could set some lion meat.
Conservation Of food is the subject
OF much official talk, but the average
Wsshingtonian who has TO lunch in
town has no sympathy with ConseTya-
ton; he is too hungry. They are
starving by the hundreds right here
in our own capital, every noon hour.
Europe may be hard pressed for
food, but no more so than Washing
ton is at the lunch hour. The answer
is simply this. Washington has out
grown itself and there are not enough
restaurants. lunchrooms and cafes 10

have been brought into the city by
the war.

Crowded eating places are filled
every day. Seats in the better cafes

where he could get served.

SHIPS MADE IN j. S.

The Stars and Stripes have been

the sanction Of the Shipping Board;
the Shipping Board will sanction the
building OF no ships which are not to

Spectators and agents OF various
foreign governments have made at
tempts within the last few weeks to
induce the board to agree TO the es-
tablishment Of shipyards in the United
States where vessels might be built
for our allies or for neutrals. In each
case il was proved that the promoters
Of the shipyards projects expected to
get eXOrbitant rates for turning out
ships. and each request for permission
to start yards was accordingly turned
down. With exorbitant prices paid
for vessel building, the Shipping Board
figured. the new concerns would be
able 10 pay high rates for labor and
would attract the building experts
now working on government con-
tracts. This was one of the main rea-
sons for turning down the proposals.
The shipping Board also has turned
a deaf ear TO the pleas Of the English
representatives here to retain British
ships on the stocks under the British
flag. French and Italian proposals
have met with the same reception.

There is a gripping interest about
the soldiers life that makes a strong
appeal to vigorous Americans. This
is doubly true in time OF war when
the soldier has a serious object in
view and gives his whole mind to
his new duties.
The healthy good fellowship of the
camp also cannot fail TO stimulate
you. Thousands of men drawn from
all walks of life cannot be thrown
suddenly together without bringing to
light many qualities previously un-
known. You will probably become bet
ter acquainted with yourself than you
have ever been before.
While the men in the national army
are serving at the call Of duty and
not for money, nevertheless everyone
will be paid more than enough to take
care OF all necessary expenses. These
expenses are very slight. Clothing,
food and transportation are provided
by the government. In addition, the
private soldier receives $50 per month
while he is in the United States and
S33 per north while he is abroad.
The table shows the pay for some
OF the higher noncommissioned ranks:

Denies CAMP WATER
HAS BECOME POLLUTED
Colonel Declares Filtration Processes
Perfect Where District Bows Go.

Col. ]. w. Littell, who has charge
OF the construction of the thirty-two
national army and National Guard
cantonments and camps, yesterday de-
nounced as untrue the story sent out
from Baltimore that there was danger
in the water which would be supplied
to Camp Meade, where the District
OF Columbia draft troops will be sent
on September 5.
Col Littell declared that the source
of supply and the filtration processes
which will be utilized in purifying the
water for the camp have been passed
upon by some OF the foremost engi-
neers in the country. The water supply,
he said, would be as excellent as that
furnished either Washington or Balti-
more.
The potable water supply for the
camp will be obtained from the
Patuxent River, which has been dam
med near Admiral From the dam the
water will be pumped to the filtration
plant and from there TO the camp. 1t
will be purified in mechanical filters,
one of the processes being to pass the
river water through sand.
The Maryland State engineers sug-
gested that the Patuxent River be
damned some ten miles higher up
from Admiral, but the Federal engi-
neers decided that this would cost a
great deal more and was absolutely
unnecessary.
Col. Iittell states that the camp
will be ready for the first contingent
Of draft troops on September ..
The District troops will probably be
the first in camp, on account OF the
proximity Of this city to Admiral.

Handkerchief for Bank
Proved Too Elusive to
Hold Soldiers Big Wad

II has been rumored that a hand
kerchief is a tolerably safe place to
carry money. This may or may not
be true. But should any one OF F. L.
Vayo's friends today suggest that he
store his flthy lucre away in some
like primitive manner he would. in
all probability, elicit deep frowns.
For Mr.. Vayo, be it known, Tuesday
afternoon lost S252 in just such a way.
He had it rolled tightly so p couldn't
get out Of the handkerchief, under
stand. but it was with the handker-
chief itself that fault is TO be found
which inconsiderately slipped from his
pocket somewhere in Rosslyn."
Mr.. Vayo lives at Fort Myer. Va.
and he hopes to recover the coveted
'kerchief with contents intact by Of
fering a liberal reward" His friends
trust this plea will be needed. but II
Is feared that some one has found
the valuable chunk OF linen who he
lieves s252 to be sufficient liberal re-

BURDEN ON CAPITAL

Huge Wealth" Payments Proposed
by La Toilette Turned Down.

While the Senate evidently intends
to make capital bear much OF the bur
den of the war cost, II does not IN
tend TO place upon wealth the huge
payments proposed by Senator La Fol-
lette, of Wisconsin. For yesterday the
Senate rejected the La Toilette amend
ments by a vote OF IS to q.
Immediately, however another at
tack came "over the top" against in
dividual incomes. Senator Hollis, Of
New Hampshire, who had voted for
the La Toilette amendments. submit
ted a schedule. raising the taxes on
incomes, but about 500 90 less than
the Wisconsin man had planned.
The fight on the individual schedule
is by no means over. Some Senators
said Yesterday that discussion upon II
would not be completed until next
week.
When it is finally disposed Of. there
will be another battle-this time on
the war profit schedule. Sentiment
in favor of levy'ing heavy taxes
against these war prohts is growing
steadily.
The chairman Of the Senate Finance
Committee. Simmons. OF North Caro-
lima. began an onslaught against the
La Toilette amendments early in the
day. lie sprung a small sensation
by accusing La Toilette Of obstruc-
