PRETTY GIRLS Lure
NAVAL ENLISTMENTS
But Alas! as Usual. That Lure Prove.
: False.

Those in the know say they are not
surprised in the sudden jump in navy
enlistments during the past couple of
days
Here's the reason. Twenty-seven good
recruiting station at the old Naval Hos
pital at Pennsylvania avenue and Tenth
street southeast and registered as mem
bers OF the naval reserve!
The young men seem to have gotten
the impression that the typewritins ladies
were to serve side by side with them on
shipboardl
They made a serious mistake
The young ladies are to go into active
service hammering typewriters at the
Navy Yard and do the extra clerical work
caused by the preparations for war. They
have to sign up. by the way, to serve
four years. That's another bitter Dill
for the young men
Here's the pay:
Chief lady yeoman-ss6 a month plus
80 for rations.
First-class lady yeoman-M q month
and 80 for rations.
Second-class lady yeoman-Ss&5e Q
month and 80 for rations.
Third-class lady yeoman-ss3 . month
and so for ratlons
The lady yeomen will be given blue
MILDLY waists and either white or red
| ties, depending on which looks most at
tractive on them.
Lady radio and telegraph operators are
also being accepted. and will have snappy
uniforms.

BAGS OF LOOT FOUND
IN FAMILY GRAVEYARD
Arrest of High School Boy Solves Bur-
slar Mystery. &

Greenwich. Conn, March 23.-The
arrest of Arthur Olsen. Jr.. fifteen
years old. q student in the high school
here, and Joseph Gubrinsky. sixteen,
solves the mystery Of many burglaries
at Cos Cob recently, according to the
police. Concealed in an old family
graveyard in Cos Cob the police found
two bags filled with loot from sew
eral stores that had been robbed. The
police said the boys directed them to
the hiding place
Soon after the police had been in
formed that burglars were trying to
get into y. A. Upham's drug store, in
Cos Cob, Policeman John Tobin found
Olsen in the Post road near there at
three o'clock in the morning. The
fact that the boy threw several coins
away upon the approach of the police
man caused him to be held. In the
cuffs of his trousers were found sew
eral fountain pens, later Identified by
Michael Taylor as having been stolen
from his stationery store in the fourth
burglary committed there.

KAISER PHOTO HISTORY,
SCHOOL PRINCIPAL SAYS
Incident of WalLHansing to Be
Dropped.

The case of Miss Marie Siebert, the
teacher at Central High whose picture
of the Kaiser was torn down by a boy
student, has been settled.
Emory Wilson. principal Of Cen
trail High. said last night he had sim
ply asked Miss Siebert to be more
careful in using pictures hereafter,
and that insofar as he was concerned
the matter was closed. He added he
had been convinced from the begin
ming that Miss Siebert had simply put
up the picture of the Kaiser to make
the history of Europe more clear to
her pupils, and that she had. no un-
patriotic intent.
Professor Wilson said he reprimand-
ed the boy who had torn the picture
down because he was entrusted with
running the school.
The affair will probably not be heard
of again. Prof. Wilson asked the
school board II 1t cared to handle the
matter and tho board left it entirely
in his hands.
supt. Thurston said last night that
the decision Of Prof Wilson would
stand.

Senator Lodge called at the State De-

S25. 10000 in recompense for losses ac-
cruing to Columbia through the revolu-
tion, the secession OF Panama from Co
lumbia, the consequent loss to Columbia
of the money paid for the Canal Zone

The Republicans object to the inclu-
sion in the treaty OF any apology to Co.

States in the Panamanian revolt and also
they object to the payment of SIS. 600 900
or any other sum to Columbia as a slush

CHAMP CLARK CERTAIN
HE Will BE REELECTED
Says He Will Be Chosen just 100
Minutes After Congress Convenes.

According to his own prophecy. Champ
Clark viii be reelected Speaker OF the
House Of Representatives Of the 18Th
Congress just 100 minutes after the as
sembling Of the 9Th Congress on Mon
day. April 2. D.
The former Speaker and designated
Speaker-to-be is convinced that the pre-
liminary count Of noses in the new House
will find him with from one to five
majority. He IL not concerned about
the organization Of the House, either.
"I predict that the House will be or
ganized by the Democrats" said Mr.
Clarak last night. IT will be elected
Speaker in one hour and forty minutes
after the House assemblies. I figure 4

Put the preacher down for ten minutes.
roll and establish the presence of a quo
rum. Then there'll be a ten-minute period
of nominating speeches and another
forty minutes for the roll call for the
Speakership, and the majority will be
from one to Ave. and that's all there
It to It,"
Senator Clark's optimism with regard
to his reelection is shared by a number
OF his followers. The Republicans are
Eeuceht on thls point. But on tne Ques-
ton of the general organization of the
House they are not SO uncertain. Clearly
on the returns there Is no majority OF
the next House. but on the other hand
the absence Of q majority for the party
lately in power provides numerous op-
portunities for trades and exchanges, and
there is a possibility that some of the
patronage plums,' particularly the office
of sergeant-at-arms and the ONCE OF
doorkeeper. will be allotted to the erst-
while minority.

CONGRESS RECORD
COPY MAY BE CENSORED
Solons May Reveal Military Secrets
! During Debate, Il Is Feared.

Countrywide sentiment appears to ia
vor some curtailment OF the debate as
printed in the Congressional Record on
the international crisis, and Representa-
tive Flood. Of Virginia, chairman Of the
Foreign Affairs Committee. said last night
that he had heard the suggestion from
many quarters. though he doubted
whether the talk would crystallize into
action by Congress at its extra session.
The speech of Senator Stone on the
armed neutrality bill. delivered during the
filibuster that marked the closing days
OF the 64th Congress, has brought the
subject to a crisis.
In the remarks Of the 81 senior Senator
from Missouri. the fact that the Navy
Department proposed to equip merchant
men with submarine chasers was dis
closed, information which, It is declared.
was of distinct value to German U-boat
commanders.
It is pointed out that should the de-
bate on the question of declaring war
become heated, some member of the
House or Senate might unwittingiy dis
close plans Of the government that might
cause the Navy and WaP Departments
much embarrassment.
It Is to forestall any situation Of this
kind that some restriction on the re-
marks Of members of the Senate and
House should be made. in the opinion
Of many army and navy oficers.
With the Navy Department using every
facility in its power to guard the move
ments Of ships and withhold informa-
ton that might be conveyed to Teutonic
|sympathizers and ultimately conveyed to
the German submarine fleets. II Is felt
that remarks of members Of Congress
should be guarded.
Suggestion is made that the discussion
Of international affairs be behind closed
doors and not reported In the Record.
Another suggestion Is to have the reports
censored by a committee before issuing
them to the newspapers.
