Physical Exams" Next.

Then the men will be dismissed until
they are called for physical examination
and to receive their first anti-typhoid
prophylaxis and smallpox vaccination
and as rapidly as possible, and bedding
will be ready for them in plenty of time
for the first night. The same is true
about meals.
The day after arrival the men probably
will be given their first drill, which will
be light and elementary. Beginning early
IN the morning with setting-up exercises
before breakfast, the drill will consist of
squad formations and foot movements.
The men will be taught military courtesy
which means the proper manner Of salut-
Ing officers, Sentries, etc. how to address
an officer. and matters of this kind, of
which civilians are not expected to know
anything.
Actual drilling is not expected to be-
gin for at least a week. though the
men are to be taken out for hikes of a
couple of miles or so. to harden them
gradually. The complete anti-typhoid
prophylaxis treatment requires a pc
riod of about ten days. the first shot
being given as soon after arrival as
possible. the second in about five days
and the third and last about week
after the second. By keeping as quiet
as possible the recipient of an anti
typhoid shot may avoid unpleasant
consequences. the doctors say. The
anti-typhoid dope is injected in the

1t is understood that the request
TO hold Berger came directly from the

that an order is now being prepared
by which he will be sent to a deten-
ton camp until the conclusion OF the
war. 1t was stated at the previous
hearings OF Berger by a Secret Ser
vice agent that the man had made
his way along the entire Atlantic sea-
board and had visited most of the
navy yards along the coast. A
diary Is in evidence against Berger
which contains a chart OF the coast.
At certain places are dots which
II is presumed were placed there by
Berger to Indicate the places he had
visited. Most OF them were navy
yards and forts, II is said. There

have been sufficient to cause suspi-
cIon and furnish grounds on which

TISH RULER FINDS ARMY READY FOR RETALIATION
Request to Merchants

Two things count in advertising as in other pur-
chasing of merchandise QUANTITY AND QUALITY.
Merchants want to know how MANY and what
KIND of citizens buy the newspaper in which they
advertise In their own establishments, business men
have the opportunity of getting this information so I'M
portant to them, and we make this request:
Please instruct your employees to ask customers
WHAT NEWSPAPER THEY READ?
We shall consider it great favor if you will aScer-
tain particularly how many and what kind of customers
read THE WASHINGTON TIMES?
We think that we know. We want BUSINESS
MEN to know.
We believe you will find that TIL WASHINGTON
TIMES is read by all classes of Citizens but for the mo-
ment PARTICULARLY BY THE YOUNG MEN AND
THE YOUNG WOMEN.
Older people are slower to change habit. THE
TIMES is read already by practically ALL THE YOUNG
MEN AND WOMEN OF WASHINGTON, and it will
be read regularly very by practically all of the
others.
Meanwhile it is worth remembering, that the young
men and the young women are THE BUYERS.
We shall be grateful to any merchant who will re-
quest his employees to get answers to this question:
''What newspaper do you read? Do you read THE
WASHINGTON TIMES? What do you like about it?"
There is no information quite as good as YOUR
OWN information And we are anxious that merchants
should have THEIR OWN information about this news
paper, its readers. their number and quality.
