DR.. Wiley OPPOSES
DROPPING OF latin
Takes Issue with DR.. Eliot on Ques'
ton of DEAD Language.

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, formerly U.
s. food expert and noted writer and
educator. delivered an address yes
terday before the Washington
Classical Club on the place of Latin
in a Liberal Education" in the
chapel of the Bristol School, Mint
wood place and Nineteenth street.
After taking issue with an ar
ticle by DR.. Eliot, president emeri-
tus OF Harvard, arguing that no
man should be required to study
Latin, DR.. Wiley said Latin is the
foundation of modern English and
constitutes one-third of the words
we use.
THE reason Latin is considered a
dead language today is because we
90 not teach it in the right way"
said DR.. Wiley. BY dropping
Latin our education system would
be made less efficient"
The first instance of a food ad-
ministrator was recorded by Lucius
Appalius about 1000 years ago, he
said in reference to the value of
the classics.
DR.. Charles S. Smith, professor
OF Greek and Latin at George WASH
ington University and president of
the club, announced that the next
lecture OF the series will be given
in January.

FOR B0OTLEGGER
J. B. Wagner Also Fined $500.
Few Cases IN Court.

Ten days of sobriety have worked
wonders for Washington.
That is what the authorities say,
who are empowered to prosecute Of
Tenders. The number of arrests for
drunkenness, the amount of money
paid in fines for drunkenness and
assessed liquor dealers during these
ten days, is nothing at all compared
to what was expected.
Only 1890 in fines has been as
sessed liquor sellers so far. Sixteen
persons have been arrested for in
toxication. Six have been arrested
for selling liquor. Three of these
have already been tried and sem
fenced
The third case, that of Joseph B.
Wagner. which came up yesterday.
caused Judge Pugh to put his foot
down fiat and give a heavier Jail
sentence in addition to the usual
$500 fine.
Wagner was arrested Friday by De-
tective Scriyener in Georgetown after
he had sold of pint of whisky for
s2.25 to Phillip Satten, a soldier Be-
sides the fine. Wagner must serve
six months in Jail. William F. Ryan,
who was arrested with Wagner,
pleaded not guilty and his case went
over.

prosecutor. seems to be used as a

A close cooperation between the Dis
trict and the United States authori-
ties is enabling the courts to try
and dispose of the cases much more
| quickly than 1t could be done by
each prosecuting branch working sep
! arately. Nearly all the offenders so
far have been guilty of two COM
bined charges in the same act: SELL
! ing liquor to soldiers and violating
the Sheppard law.

RANCE AT
CAMP MEADEIS
READY FOR use
290 More Targets Will Be
Erected-Changes in
Training Program.
ny ANDREW n. KELLEY.

Camp Meade, Admiral. Nd. Nov.
| l0.-Maj. Gen. Joseph Z. Kuhn to-
day officially opened the rifle range
of the cantonment by. cracking the
targets six times in succession with
regulation rifle.
Only ten targets have been thus
far set up, but that will be suffi-
cient to begin target practice In
squads on Monday morning. With
in the next fortnight 200 more will
be elected. and daily practice In
Workmanship will be feature OF
the regular program.
Radical changes in the training
program OF the national army have
been made to become effective on
Monday. That these changes will
enable the war chiefs to develop the
greatest lighting machine in the
history of the world is assured. and
no time is to be lost in an effort to
execute the plans. The men are to
be versed in open field fighting as
well as the method of struggling
from trench to trench for supre-
macy.
The Big Idea.
One of the effects of the new plan
! is that the national army men will
receive the greater portion of'their
! training on American soil and will
spend hardly more than a month
| in France before they will be mt to
take their places along the lipe OF
fire.
The big idea of the plan is to
give the men everything necessary
here in the two modes Of fighting
with the assistance of the foreign
| instructors" said one of the high
ranking officers of the cantonment.
Then put them through the very
latest tricks before they go in the
trenches"
The Importance of open field fight
! ing has been emphasized in recent
movements on the Western front, Tor
\ several times. the British, owing 10
their lack of training in this style
of fighting have not been able to hold
up their victorious assaults on the
Hun trenches.
Learn from British.
Drawing a lesson from the ex-
perience Of the British, the American
war chiefs will have the national
army prepared to take advantage OF
trench victories and follow up the
successes to such an extent that the
Germans will be unable to return TO
the system of underground fighting
The large drill field near division
headquarters will be used for school
grounds and Machine guns, peris-
scopes. real bombs. rifle grenades and
other weapons will be used. Maj. Gen.
George Wildrick and the British and
French army officers today selected
site for the new bayonet drill.
These men from the front" are to
teach the officers the latest use for
these knives and the officers in turn
will teach them to the men, This is
the plan reported to have been fol-
lowed by the allied armies and worked

ACQUITTED AT PALACE.

One of the best photoplays of the Triangle series to be shown at the Pal ace is Acquitted" with Wilfred Lucas and Bessie Love. Mary Alden is also in the cast playing the part of the mother. There is nothing spectacular nor seethingly emotional in this picture yet the depths of life are sounded. The picture is incident out of life and it moves one to the very edge or tears--it is simple and so real Into quiet home comes the thunder bolt of sudden murder. An innnocent man is arrested with general custom ary police adrotness. Ae few days later. after heartache and much pub licity the real murderer is discovered and the innocent man acquitted.
