ARMY MORE STYLISH,
BUYS BETTER SHOES
English Model More Popular Than
Blunt Regulation Toe.

That donning the khaki does not
make men OF the new army less
fastidious in the lines OF dress than
they were in civilian life Is demon
strated by the demand for stylish
shoes from the military men OF the
large shoe stores OF the District. a
large number of the men preferring
to pay 50 for a stylish shoe rather
than wear the blunt regulation
army shoe which they can. obtain
for slightly more than s5.
The shoe which attracts astound-
ing numbers of the military is q
cross breed" between the regula-
tfon blunt pointed shoe and the
sharp pointed English model The
shoe furnished to army men by
Uncle Sam is in the style which was
the rage with the swell dressers
about hye or six years ago. Army
officials do not seem to have awak-
ened to the fact that styles have
changed and that a more slenderly
shaped shoe than the regulation
''canal-boat" is now in favor. d.
The cross breed" shoe is in real
ity an extremely conservative Eng
lish model. 1t passes inspection at
the posts and the men are giving
a practical demonstration of the dis
favor with which the regulation
shoe is met. in gladly paying the
difference between the cost OF the
army shoe and the more stylish
model.
According to a prominent shoe
merchant OF the city the conserva-
tive English model will also be the
big seller with the civilian popula-
ton next autumn. The narrow
pointed toe will be relegated to the
ash can, indications show. and COM
fort will be more considered by the
multitude in the selection of shoes
in the next season.

FORMER SOCIALIST
FLAYS PACIFISTS

Declaring that lone peace resolu-
ton offered in the United States
Congress was a greater asset to the
Kaiser than a thousand men on the
firing line" Charles Edward Russell,
former Socialist and member of the
Root commission to Russia, bitterly
denounced all persons proposing peace
at the present time or failing in
answering support to the administra-
ton.
The speech OF Mr.. Russell came as
result of the pacihst meeting yes
terday in the Capitol. He fiayed the
policy Of the Socialists and the mem
bers Of Congress who are aiding the
peace propaganda. Mr.. Russell de-
clared that as a result Of the peace
activities in the United States the
Socialists have absolutely no hope
that their party will become a promi-
nent factor in the shaping of the
policies of the nation.

RECRUITING
TO BE CONTINUED

Voluntary recruiting for the regu.
lar army will be continued until all
tie States have filled the volunteer
quotas assigned them, it was said
yesterday.
Although only 9S6 men were enlist
ed on the latest reports for the day,
the army is 1,510 men in excess Of
the total volunteer quota. This has
been done already, and only part of
the states have completed their
quotas. The army has attained its
authorized war strength OF 800, 900, but
this number will be greatly augment
ed before all the States are filed.
New York secured 125 men in the last
twenty-four hours. Pennsylvania,
with 50, is second. California gained

old FIGHTING SHIPS
MAY ANCHOR here
Constitution and Constellation Are
Last of Revolutionary Navy.

Two of the FIRST ships Of the
American navy are still aflost and
neither Of them is at the Nations
Capital. This is a condition which
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Assistant
Secretary or the Navy. believes
should be remedied.
The two ships are the Constitu-
tion. which is at Boston, and the
Constellation. which is at Newport
Il know that there are local
claims for these two wonderful old
vessels" Mr.. Roosevelt said But
in a truer sense they now belong
to the nation. They were permitted
to go to = Boston and TO Newport.
the ports which they named as
home when they fought the British
and the French. because at that
time there were several other old
ships about the navy yards and sta
tions.
Now only those two remain. One
OF them should be brought here.
Intimate as is their association with
the ports where they now lie, they
belong to the nation. and one OF
them should be here to represent
the traditions Of the old navy to all
the people"
Just below the washington Monu-
ment is a beautiful basin. a back
water OF the Potomac. and one of
the most charming pictures in Po-
tomac Park which spreads out be-
tween the White House and the
river.
I'd like to take one of those old
ships. put her on concrete founda-
tions in the center OF the basin and
she'd stay there safe for centuries" !"
said Mr.. Roosevelt Her spsrs
would be just about visible from
the Navy Department. No Secre-
tary OF the Navy and no President
could then ever forget the hne ira
dition OF our old navy"

DRAF TING THE ALIEN.


There Is a proposal to draft the
aliens.
And why not? II they were living
i'll the land of their birth they would
be subjected to conscription.
II they were American born or nat
uralized citizens OF this country they
would be subject to the selectiye
draft
And we do not see why they should
be a favored class
AS matter of fact, we believe that
the majority OF aliens viii cheernully
assent TO the proposal.
1t is true that there may be many
aliens who look upon the operation of
the DRAFT which excuses them from
service with some degree of enthu-
siasm.
Selfish interest tells them that il
may be that the withdrawal OF Amer
lean sons from fields OF activity may
bring with it chances OF more lucra-
i've employment IOr them as exempt
ed aliens. .''t'
But on the whole We" feel that the
alien will realize that he ought to
bear the burden Of responsibility that
this war has imposed upon the people
OF the United States.
1t is estimated that there are more
than u million aliens Of military age
in the country who have thus far es-
capped the draft liability.
Here is a source OF power that must
not remain untapped. When the for
malitF of obtaining the consent of
the various governments for conscrip-
tioH Of aliens is obtained we hope I'd
sec nat DONE
And if they dcG't want to fight for
the land Of their adoption the land
that has aiYen them o home and d
degree Of liberty and prosperity that
they never experienced in their na-
tive countries let Them be shipped
home where they will be compelled to
fight.
