The delegates today will end what
has been characterized as the most
successful convention the national or
Eanization has ever held. The morn
ing session at Polls Theater was fea-
tured by many expressions OF graft
hcation over the work the delegates
have done this year and hope for the
success Of the Federal amendments
to the Constitution for nationwide
prohibition.
Recognition Night at Polls will
close the convention tonight. The
program will be featured by = violin

BETTER CAR CONDITIONS
PROMISED CAPITAL

Improvements in street traffic one.
ditions in Washington today are prom,
iEed by the Public Utilities Commis-
sion. The services OF John A. Beeler.
consulting engineer OF New York, and
expert on TRACE problems. have been
engaged. II IL expected. the commits
sion said today. that Mr.. Beeler and
his full stan Of engineers and traffic
experts will arrive in Washington the
FIRST OF next week and begin their
work at once.
Mr.. Bseler lie recognized as one OF
the ofremost TRACE experts in the
country.
RoutinEs OF the cars may be
changed IN order TO accommodate
more people. \ more extended use OF
express cars may be suggested. An
other suggestion that may be offered
IL that special points may be selected
along the routes where the cars will
stop. Then cars will be run across
these junction points in trains.
Changing the hours OF Federal EN-.
ployes in order that they may be trans
ported to their work at different
hours may be resorted to II a simpler
plan does not suggest itself.
It 10 expected that public hearings
will be held at which citizens may
present their Views and suEEestionS.

UNDER HEAVY FIRE
IN TIMES OF NEED

NEW YORK, Dec. REV. Dr.
Chown, q leading officer of the Meth
odlst church. who has just returned
from the front, vouches for this incl
dent. according to the New York
Times:
at was the morning OF q great
battle, and the chaplain was allowed
few moments to speak to the men
Of a certain platoon.
This IL what he said: Now. boys.
you will soon be going over the top.
What will happen before nIghtfall we
do not know. want you TO say with
the chaplain continued:
Now say it again, the Lord Is
my shepherd pause ut the word my
and emphasize Il by bending the third
finger of the left hand and pressing II
to the palm with the thumb.
"A few moments after doing this
the men went over the top. The Do
sition was taken and consolidated,
but the casualties In the battalion to
which this platoon belonged were
great
Carried Prayer In Battle.
Toward evening the chaplain
went out to minister to the wounded
and was profoundly impressed at the
number OF dead and dying lying mo-
tionless with the third finger Of their
left hand bent inwaTds as they had
done when they rscited the twenty
third Psalm in their own linss before
the battle. They had continued to
recite IL into battle"

DR.. Fraser describes a communion
service administered to a battalion
just before It went into action. The
table consisted of two ammunition
boxes, draped with a flag and covered
with a white cloth. The chaplain
stood by minlsterinE with a pocket
sized communion set. The sky was
ahGme with frs. the air full OF
shells. The service was
no more than ended before the men
went "over the top"
The chaplains themselves are TAX
ing no second place for gallantry.
Several OF them have won the mill
tary cross. Two Of them, Capt. W. (.
Kidd, formerly OF Rockville, and Capt.
W. r. Thompson, were decorated for
brIning in wounded men under frs
and digging the graves OF I50 s.Ain,
helped only by the shells dropping
around them, which dug holes In the
earth.

SECURITY LEAGUE
MAKESP[ANSFOR
WARONP AC|FISTS

NEW YORK. Dec. THE National
Security League has sent letter to
its members urging home defense and
appeal is as follows
The first object OF home defense
by arms has been generally taken up
throughout the country. and We have
no doubt that your community is in
line. The two other objects, first,
the listing Of undesirable citizens, has
also been attended to in many places,
but in view Of the continued series OF
pro-Germanic activities II seems ad
visable that greater stress should be
laid on this point than heretofore.
II careful lists Of the residents of

municaiion.
There is a clearly defined conflict
today between the patriotic loyal
forces who desire to prosecute the
war to q victorious finish, and those
lukewarm paeificts or anti-Govern-
Inent forces who are constantly seek
ing to elect their representatives to
office. The old lines between the
Republicans, Democrats, and Progress
sives are rapidly being wiped out, and
it 10 necessary that the loyal forces
combine in order to defeat those that
would prevent the United States from
winning the war.
Every office Is important from
members OF the school board and town
council on up. Vigorous efforts should
be made by our organizations to as
certain the views OF all candidates
and to endeavor to defeat those who !!
are not with US in this matter. No
question Of partisanship or creed /
should be permitted to interfere with |
us in this patriotic work. We there |
fore urge uponSyOu to bring together |
the safe men OF your organization and |
TO push this matter vigorously"
