RECRUITING ACTIVELY FOR
THE COAST ARTILLERY

Active recruiting for the second com
pany of coast artillery of the District
of Columbia is now going on, 1t was
announced today. The first company
has completed its roster and the re-
cruiting station at 917 f street north
west is busy with applicants for the
second unit. total of 100 men is re-
CURED for the company. Many have sig
-nified their intention of joining. The
new company offers an excellent oppor-
tunity for promotion to non-commis-
stoned officers. Eleven sergeants and
twelve corporals are required, as cooks.
mechanics and buglers.
The first company was so depleted of
experienced men by the officers train
ing camp that it has barely enough
qualified men for it's own non-commis-
stoned vacancies. The second company
will have to provide its own squad and
section leaders.
The men are instructed at the armory
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and at
each week end trips are made to the
batteries Of Fort Washington.
The company will go to the fort Sat
urday at $50 pm. and return Sunday
afternoon. Arrangements are being
made for an exhibition Of a number of
reels of war pictures just received from
the French front. showing in detail the
handling of the big guns behind the
trenches, which will be part of the coast
artillery's job. when it goes to France.

There seems to be an impression"
said Assessor Richards, that the act
taxes only such moneys as are on de-

fact, the law taxes moneys wherever

Would Extend CREDIT
TO SMALL COUNTRIES
DR.. Pratt Suggests Measure as Ef.

Central Powers.
By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, juno 21.-Extension
Of credit to small and weak countries is
one Of the most powerful influences
that the United States and her allies
may develop against Germany and Aus.
tria. said DR.. Edward E. Pratt. chief of
the federal bureau Of foreign and do
nestle commerce, in the address before
the National Association of Credit Men.
in convention here today.
I'VE know" said DR.. Pratt. from the
limited amount OF news that trickles
through from the central powers that
very ambitious plans are being made
to dominate the worlds trade after the
war. A speaker at an Austrian meet
as stating that plans have been per
fected whereby after the war 10000
600 people. the total population Of Ger
many and Austria Hungary. will buy
their supplies from the rest Of the
world as a unit. We know that the
various Industries Of Germany have
been more and moro consolidated into
cooperating groups, until virtually all
German industry has united as one or
Eanic producing and selling agency
backed with the full power of the great
German banks and the organization of
the German government
zone Of the most important and effec-
tive steps that the entente powers and
this country can take is to SO organize
our facilities for extending credit that
never in the future shall smaller and
weaker countries be forced to depend
upon a power so dangerous to their
freedom.
Americas opportunity in this great
time Of stress and sacrifice Is to render
every service in her power to those less
fortunate and less able than herself. to
facilitate the way Of those who come
to us with their orders, to extend her
economic and industrial resources as
well as her military power to those who
need and merit them"

The report calls for the creation of a
permanent socialist committee. whose
sole purpose would be to work for a
permanent peace. A second recon-
mendation deals with the composition
OF the congress which will be. called

representatives Of the nations and not
Of the governments"
Dr.. Goddard continues:
The governments have forced upon
the masses this terrible war. Let the

such an international arrangement as

socialist party has no quarrel with the
workers of any other country and there
is no war feeling among the mass Of work

Gompers pledged the full support Of or

war had been officially declared. .
Messages from all parts Of the country
were brought to an emergency convention
Of the socialist party. proving that the

NIGHT SESSIONS LIKELY
AT VALUATION HEARING
Step May Be Necessary Because OF
Slow Progress Due to Tangle
Over Examinations.

With night sessions a prospect. the
cross-examination Of Andrew Sangster,
chief accountant of the valuation bu-
reau of the public utilities commission.
in the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company valuation case dragged
along today.
Slow progress is being made as a re-
suit of exhaustive questioning by at
torneys for the company concerning ex-
tensive elimination from capital ac-
count made by Mr.. Sangster in his re-
port Unable to obtain from the valua-
ton expert detailed list OF the
eliminations, the company has made re-
peated unsuccessful efforts to have the
eliminations restored.
Criticism of Mr.. Sangster for his
failure to produce the items. followed
by criticism of the company by the
commission for Its alleged failure to
cooperate with Mr.. Sangster when he
was making up the report, marked the
progress Of the hearing yesterday aft
ernoon.
Asked by Attorney Barbour if he had
preserved records to show the con
illusions he had reached, Mr.. Sangster
replied:
I'VE have all the details. We have
not those conclusions in way which
would allow US to run off machine
list. conveniently. of those items in
which you are interested"
Then what we are entitled to, I
should think" returned the company's
attorney, lis that your report should
be excluded from consideration by this
commission"
This was followed by formal mo-
ton by Attorney Bowen. for the COM
pany. that Sangsters working papers
and detail sheets, showing eliminations
from property account of the Metro
politan company aggregating 100000,
be produced. The motion was over
ruled.
The company then moved that the
commission restore to the property ac-
count of the Metropolitan company the
amount eliminated. The commission
announced that it would give the mat
ter consideration in compiling its re-
port. Exceptions to the rulings were
noted.
