TO MANY THEFTS;
HID LOOT IN PIPE

Mystery shrouding the wholesale
looting OF Washington homes and the
thefts of hundreds OF dollars worth
OF jewelry and trinkets was cleared
when the police arrested two twelve
year-old boys today.
According to the police, the youths
confessed to entering homes in the
northeast and southeast sections of
Washington for months. They climb
ed up water spouts to reach the Sec
ond and third stories.
The boys under arrest are Claude
Fayn Taylor, twelve, Of los Fifth

ton when Brig. Gen. William A. Mann
and Major Douglas Macarthur leave
to assume important places of com
mand in the rainbow division OF ma
tional guard troops organized today
for service In France.
General Mann came to Washington
as chief OF the militia bureau after
the death OF Maj. Gen. Albert l.. Mills
more than a year ago. When the
United States entered the present war
he began the work OF building up the
national guard to war strength.
War Department officials are
agreed no better choice OF command
ing officer could have been made for
the first national guard division to
go to France.
Major Douglas Macarthur. his
chief of stan. was literally born in
the army. His father, Lieut.. Gen.
Arthur Macarthur, was one of the
biggest figures in American military
annals.
Major Macarthur won his spurs
when he was picked by Secretary
Baker for the important post OF mill
tary censor during the Mexican
trouble. His work in that capacity
was unusually satisfactory to the
War Department and press alike.
He is regarded as an ideal choice
to aid General Mann in organizing
and training the new national guard
division.

have cleared the east bank Of the
