ennybuddy doing to theirself.
Hod was over to Gootc1ic with
Rufe Brown helping Rufe cut his
winter supply of ice often the Pond

pond in blocks with Use saw while
hauling away to his ice house which is
about half a mile from the shore of the

which he stood floated away from the

need GENERAL STATE
TO Direct ALLIES
Army League Emphasizes Vital
Necessity Of Such Move.

Declaring that there can be no real
cooperation between the allies with
out a grand general stan to direct
all of the allied forces, the Army
League Of the United States .yester-
day made public a statement pointing
to the necessity for such harmony.
THE recent reverses. of the Italian
army only emphasize the vital neces-
sity Of a general stan in the military
organisation" the statement reads.
The military authorities of France
have been urging such an organiza-
ton for the allied armies ever since
the opening of the war.
THE German general staff controls
the operations of all the forces which
the central powers have placed In the
field. There is the highest authority
for the statement that even the
Kaiser does not attempt to dictate to
the German general staff,
"All the plans for the campaign
which was launched against the
italian army were carefully prepared
by the Austrian division of the Ger
man general stan. While the Ger
man machine was making this pre-
paration the Italian mission in the
United States was giving a warning
to the allies. They were asking for
coal, ships, munitions and money.
There was no competent central mill
tary organization through which IL
would be determined whether Italy
was really in a perilous position"

The Washington herald., 1917-11-20

After a trife over two weeks good
behavior, Washington has exhibited
a little of the old-time wickedness.
From Saturday afternoon until early
Sunday the police was just as busy
as before Washington went dry.
Arrests for intoxication numbered
thirty-seven. OF these nineteen for
feited $3.50 in collateral The other
eighteen paid fines or went to Oc-
coquan for thirty days each.
More than LOO in fines and for
feited collateral was in the hands
of Financial Clerk Adkins. of Police
Court, yesterday afternoon.
Many Onenses Charged.
Arrests were made for permitting
gambling. importing liquor into the
District In violation of the Sheppard
law, iptoxication,. selling liquor, driv-
while drunk, disorderly conduct and
assaults, in addition to the usual
traffic law violations.

W. McKeumer were the first men
to be arrested on charges of import

THE rates must go as high as the
costs CO." Mr.. Patterson declared.
Our next application will be for Is

Then he added, vehemently: "Why,
those increases won't compare with
the prices fixed by the government
boards last October.
THE railroads must file requests for
additional increases. The general
burden of increased costs must be
universalized, and then, If the burden
should be found to have become To-
Called. it could be readjusted. The
financial situation Of the railroads
now constitutes an imminent and
great public menace"
Summation of the protest of various
big shipping interests was made by

commissioner of Iowa, in the contcn-
ton that the shippers should not be
compelled to pay for building a road
and then pay additional returns to
