New Owner Refuses to Discuss
Matters Of Policy.

Arthur Brisbane. New York news
paper editor. who yesterday took over
the Washington Times from Frank A.
Munsey. was last night busily engaged
whipping into shape plans for his
newly acquired paper.
AS yet, Mr.. Brisbane has refused to
make any statement, even refusing TO
say whether the paper would still
pursue the policy Of publishing two
afternoon editions.
Questioned as to whether he would
own the paper Jointly. Mr.. Brisbane
cmphatically stated that Il will own
every share
Mr.. Brisbane is editor OF the New
York Evening Journal He started on
His journalistic career as a reporter
on the New York Sun in 1852. He has
also been editor OF the New York
Evening Sun and the New York
World.
Frank a. Munsey. former owner of
the paper. gave out the following
statement concerning its sale:
Il have sold the Washington Times
TO Mr.. Arthur Brisbane. didn't sell
it because l wished to part with 1t. ]
sold IL because Mr.. Brisbane was
keenly anxious TO own II and paid me
a bigger price for II than II was

All units OF the National Guard

August s. according TO an announce
ment made yesterday by the War De
partment.

OF War Baker. is the proper term 10
use in this connection. but con-
scrinted' IS not.
THE draft Secretary Baker add
ed, will apply both TO those In Fed
eral service and those who have not
yet been caleld into the service OF
the nation"
Apparently there is some distinc-
tion between the terms drafted" and
"conscripted." though just what is not
plain to the man in the street By
drafting the National Guard units
into the United States army. the
States will lose all control over their
movements. They were called into
Federal service" to go to the Texas
border last year. and at the end OF
the emergency resumed in many cases
their status as State troops. Thai
the National Guard will lose 1t iden.

Of Leopold de Rothschild, a British
sportsman who recently died at his
residence, Ascot. Leighton Buzzard.
England, the London Sportsman
makes use of q table of his turf win
nings from his first year in the sport,
1879, to this year inclusive, and shows
$50 races won for a total OF $l,S3t, $50
The greatest winning year noticed
was 1895, when horses in his colors
won fifty-four races for q total of
$23S, $50. Among some Of the sue
cesses were the 1901 st. Leger with
Doricles, the Two Thousand Guineas
and the Derby In 1904 with st. Amant
and the One Thousand Guineas in
1911 with Atmah. One Of his arnbi-
tions, like that Of all sportsmen, was
to win q Derby, and although his de-

WOODEN ship ROW
WATTS ON REPORT
Submarine Distinctions May Affect
Wilson's Decision in Matter.

Figures on this weeks destruction
by submarines, which will be reported
today, are awaited in Washington with
considerable interest. because OF the
bearing they will have upon the Den
man-Goethals row over the kind of
ships that this country will build.
The statement was made by friends
OF Chairman Denman yesterday that
ne had the wooden ship program gone
through, 2OO,0O0 tons of wooden ships
would be ready to take on cargoes by
October 1. The earliest ships, now
promised under General Goethats' re-
vised program, will not be ready until
next year. These facts are being
brought to the attention Of President
Wilson who, it is now reported, has
delayed making any decision on the
controversy until the end of the week.
A report, published by a Wall Street
news service. that Chairman Dem
mans clients on the Pacific coast
would profit over 800 per cent through
the awarding of contracts for lumber
for the commercial fleet. was denied
here. Examination OF the records of
the Shipping Board disclosed the fact
that the only contract made to Mr.
Denman's friends was awarded to the
Coos Bay Lumber Company. This
contract was for lumber for thirty
vessels at a price of $50 per thousand
feet which is S below the price fixed
by the Lumber committee of the Coun-
Gil Of National Defense.
1t was stated here upon good au-
thority that the district attorney of
Seattle. is now making an invesiga-
ton of an alleged pool of western
lumber dealers. The investigation is
as yet incomplete but action against
the dealers is expected.

Eufsc 70 SWHSs
Mr.. Diogsnss wouldn't have needed
his lantern In Washington yesterday
Here's the story.
r. z. Johnston, q wealthy lumber
man from the West, lost his pocket
book with $500 in It In the lobby o.
the Capitol Park Hotel, where he Is
stopping. Soon afterward he was call.
ed to the telepohne and q voice asked
II he had lost anything. Thoughtless-
ly. he said he had not. A few
minutes later there was another call
and a voice asked again, in an IN
Sistent way, IL he had lost . large
sum OF money. This time Mr.. Johns
ton admitted II.
Come over to SIS Lexington street, :
said the voice." identify your prop
erty and you'll get it,
Mr.. Johnston and Detective Sergeant
Frank Baur. whom he had notified,
hurried to the adress and founu J.
E. Jones. aged ., Of Iowa. and Burt
C. Miller, aged u. Of Kansas. The
young men turned over the pocket
book and the money, after Mr.. Johns
ton had described It minutely. and
then Jones told this story:
Miller and I were at college to-
rether. We took the examination for
ssistant paymasters in the United
States navy and came to Washington
with small capital expecting to re-
ceive an appointment on arrival here.
In this we We're disappointed. Our
money ran out While in the Capitol
Park Hotel this afternoon we found
a pocHetbook containing SS1 and
papers showing 1t belonged to a Mr.
r. E. Johnston stopping at the
fCtel. We were broke and the find
ing OF the large sum Of money which
would have put US on easy street
was a sore temptation. But we are
gentlemen and honest II broke. We
spent the last two niCkles that we
had to call you up in an effort to re-
turn you the money. 1t Is yours. not
ours and we are glad to hand II
back to you. We seek no reward and
will not accept one. Here is your
pocketbook as we found It,"
To say that Mr.. Johnston was sur
prised to get his money back under
such circumstances is to state II mild
". Detective Baur said that in a
service as policeman and detective
covering nearly a quarter of CEN
tury he had never met with such hon
esty nor had a similar case of need
and honesty come to his attention
where honesty won out against the
strong temptation to be dishonest.
THESE two young men. in my judg-
ment," said the detective. would
make valuable additions to the pay
masters corps of the navy or any
similar position where strict honesty
is required in handling funds"
Mr.. Johnston thanked the young
men. complimented them on their
splendid honesty. and assured them
that he would back them with his per-
sonal and business Endorsement in
search for employment they are seek
ing until such time as they can re-
ceive the coveted appointments in the
United States navy.
Maj. Raymond w. Pullman. super
intendent of police, when told OF the
case, said IT was a most splendid eX-
ample OF honesty and one that is rare
ly met with under such trying cir
cumstances and strong temptation.

duction in such large numbers that
our enemy will be blinded by having
his machines driven from the sky.
II have not the least doubt that
when the great program for aircraft
construction which has been mapped
out is under way. we will get as
many machines as we need.
War is now waged in the sky. on
the sea, under the sea by submarines
and torpedoes propelled by internal
combustion engines. All these devices
must be improved. You are all en-
listed in the war. You will help bring
peace back to the earth. and by CIV

Nearly 700 members OF the Society
of Automotive Engineers participated
yesterday in the second days session
OF the society's first annual meeting.
The gathering had as its principal
purpose the general information of
the industry regarding the task that
lies before it.
In his annual report President
George w. Dunham called attention
to the large number of members OF
the society who have entered the
government service. We are prone
to look upon the motor car as closely
approaching its ultimate FORM" he
said, but those of analytical mind
realize that there is much yet to dc
in the way OF simplifcation. When
one stops to realize that in the aver
age use of the average automobile
about a thousand pounds Of car Is
required to the single passenger, one
must admit that we are far from hav.

WAR COSTS BRITAIN
S37,OOO,OOO A DAY
Pensions Amount to $3.50, 900. 900
Weekly, Says Bonar Law.

London, June 26-The total ma
tlonal expenditure for the nine weeks
from October s to December last,
was on a daily average Of SSS,0IS,oVo,
says a statement in detail prepared
by Andrew Bonar Law. the chancsl-
lor of the exchequer, for the house
of commons.
For the Ave weeks from April to
May 5, 1911, the statement shows the
daily average OF expenditure was $5S,-
$500. while for the five weeks from
May 6 to June 9, it was s., 7,G6o.O0
For the ten weeks from April l to
June 3. the expenditure shows to have
averaged $JS,76O.00O.
For the respective periods set forth
the actual war expenditure daily. the
chancellor states. was $4,000, $751;
2S5. 600, s29, ,945, 600 and $3S,6l5OOO.
The increase in expenditure for
army service. says the statement, Is
in part attributable to payments and
advances which are ultimately recov-
cradle. The expenditure for NUM-
tions was affected by temporary
causes. such as more rapid delivery
made on the termination OF certain
orders, but notwithstanding this. the
chancellor fears there will be some
excess. under the heads OF army and
munitions. over the figures OF the
budget and estimate.
Regarding loans to the allies, con-
tinues the statement. the government
still was liable during the opening
weeks of the current year to fulnll
commitments undertaken before the
entry OF America into the war. The
advantage OF Americas entrance, he
explained, was now being felt.
The growth of the miscellaneous
expenditure. the statement adds. was
due among other things to charges
for land and sea transport. including
the purchase Of ships and food sup
plies and to the charges for war PEN
sions, which now are $3.50, 0O0, ,OOO
weekly and which are continuing to
expand.
