battle OF Flanders that occurred last
Thursday, and which has been char

is largely q matter of history. Hard
local fighting was still in progress at

Tower Hamlets, but Notwithstanding
the determined efforts of the Ger

there. they were unable to dislodge
the British troops.
The enemy still clupg to q few de-
sirable posts on an elevation near
Tower Hamlets, s,-but their possession
in no way affected the general situa-
ton. Elsewhere along the front OF the

change in the situation. An intense
artillery duel continued. but the
enemy has abandoned. at least tenn

counter attacks which marked the
first days lighting.
Enemy Losses Heavy.
The German military code has TAX

been costly, but useless. for the Brit

ARMY WANTSLENSES
FOR AIRPLANE use
Appeals to Camera Owners to Re
lieve Big Shortage.

The army has appealed to the cam
era-owners Of the nation to sell their
lenses to the Signal Corps.
The lenses are NEEDED for cameras
to take observations from the thou
sands OF aeroplanes now rapidly ap-
preaching completion. The shortage
is due to the fact that before the
war practically all lenses were made
In Germany and the war has stopped
the supply. England was in the same
position and requisitioned private
lenses. Now she is making better
lenses than the Germans did, but
only enough for her swn supply. The
Bureau of Standards is perfecting a
lens. but 1t is not yet ready and
hundred are needed at once.
"Airplanes are the eyes of frthe army
and camera lenses are the pupils of
those eyes," is the appeal of the
Signal Corps.
Owners of the following types of
lenses are asked to Immediately no.
tify the Photographic Division, Signal
Corps. Mills Building Annex, WASH

they are willing to sell:
Tessar Anastigmat made by Carl

his room at s34 r street northwest,
according to District Coroner ]. Ram

No motive could be found for the

O'Clock, by A. w. Cramer, of the
same address. Kellars head was
wrapped up tightly in q blanket.
When Kellar was found the Emer-

fed. but on arriving the doctor stated
that the man was dead. His body
was removed to the District morgue.
where at an early hour this morning
no one had claimed II.
Kellar was leather worker, and
while in this city had been working
at Topham's leather store, 121s r

street address for about two months.

Camp Meade Sidelights

Watch that boy McCann. of Com

The 312th Machine Gun Battalion,
which comprises all of the District
boys, has subscribed S, 500 to the lib
erty loan, which is not the worst rec
ord in the world for boys who have
not yet received their first pay check
from the government.
There was considerable talk about
the boys from the District being
moved to Atlanta, but there is little
prospect Of such a movement, accord
ing to division headquarters, since the
Washington boys yet need consider
able training.
Six boys from the District are quar-
tered with the Twenty-third Engi-
neers in the list of fifty-four conscien-
tious objectors to participating in war.
No names OF these remonstrants
against war will be furnished by the
army officers, but one of the men
stated he would not fight "if he saw
a man punch his mother In the face"
The War Department is still consid-
ering how to treat these men.
Camp Meade ranks third in the six

two less pay days than the leaders
