Navy ENLISTMENTS
NOT UNDER u. S. BAN
Registered Men May Join After Full
filling Certain Conditions.

There seems to be a growing i'm
preston that by reason OF the Sc
lective draft becoming effective at
noon, December IS. the navy and
Marine Corps are prohibited from
receiving voluntary enlistments af-
ter that periods This h, a mistake
as the recruiting officers at both
branches are permitted to enlist
men under certain conditions.
Ensign H. f. Middleton, U. S. N,
charge of the main recruiting sta
tion OF the navy at 306 Ninth street
northwest. yesterday received or
ders from the Navy Department in
effect as follows: ANY registrant
at any time regardless of classifi-
cation or order number. may be
commissioned in the army. navy or
Marine Corps, or appointed an
army field clerk. and, thereafter.
on presentation by the registrant
to his local board OF a certificate
from his commanding officer, stat
ing that he has been so commits
stoned or appointed. such certifi-
cate shall be filed with the Ques-
tionnaire, and the registrant shall
be placed in class 5, on the ground
that he is in the military or naval
service of the United States"
The main recruiting station OF
the navy likewise received instruc-
tons to continue the enlistment
OF mess attendants. firemen Of the
third class and apprentice seamen
in excess OF its quota. A large
number OF men qualified for these
positions are required at once.

SUGGESTS that T,R,

Lloyd George" for America Is
Philadelphian's Plan.

A Munitions Lloyd George for
America" in the person of Theo-
dore Roosevelt!
Such is the proposal Of Kern
Dodge, noted engineer of Philadel-
phia, who Is in Washington, in the
interests Of an efficient admInistra-
ton of the munitions problem of the
United States and its allies.
Mr.. Dodge advocates q civilian
organization instead Of a military
one for the securing of the proper
and most effective governmental
cooperation with the munitions
manufacturers OF the United States.
because. he says. the human ele-
ment" OF inspectors in uniform and
under military rule is lacking. ow-
ing to the restrictions under which
these men must work
Our allies,' he said, found by
bitter experience that this was the
only way to produce good results
and we should at once carry a sim
liar plan into effect
IF we do not l predict that the
production OF munitions will be Sc
riously hampered by delays and re-
due to military matters.
Il feel that we need a man to
guide and control this matter sim
liar in type to Lloyd George. of
England. who took over the NUM-
lions production in that way, and
1 think we have that man.
Our slogan should be "A NUM-
tion Lloyd George for America
and all things point to his proto-
type here in the form of Theodore
Roosevelt"

New York, Dec. 23.-There will be
no New Year Eve orgy OF feasting.

Hotel, it was announced today by
Manager Newton. Other hotels are
expected to follow his lead in taking
stand against unwarranted waste
in war time.
SHAH We Feast While Others FAM
ish?" is the heading OF an appeal
issued by Newton to friends and
patrons, in which he urges that the
money spent for the time-honored
New Year Eve frolIcs be diverted
to the cause in which this entire ma
ton is enlisted. in the hope that with
the coming of another New Year
Eve we may celebrate with a free
heart and hand the triumph of denoc-
racy." His appeal continued:
'If all the money wasted in the
usual New Year orgies were to be de-
voted this year to the purchase of
war savings stamps, New York City
alone could pay the expenses of
Pershing's army for day.
II would not have people abandon
all innocent amusements nor would 1
have New Year a melancholy holi
day, but is 1t fitting that those Of US
more favored by fortune should feast
while others famish?"
An appeal to all the people of New
York to forego New Year feasts was
said tonight to be in preparation by
John Mitchell, head of the State Food
Commission.

ance at all these affairs. The Cath
olic and Episcopal churches will usher
in the great holiday with midnight
services and special singing.
Those who have unluckily deferred
their shopping to the last minute will
probably have a hard time of it with
the doubtful comfort of plenty of
company. Owing to the diff
ficulty of obtaining freight shipments,
the big stores have found themselves
unable to keep their stocks up as in
previous years, so that the emergency
shopper will either have to take what
he is offered or do without. Also he
will have to wait patiently. Depart
ment stores haven't been able to
even get a normal holiday force this
year, while they really need many
more clerks than they have been in
the habit of hiring for extra work.
If you don't get all the Christmas
presents you expected, do not jump
to the conclusion that Aunt Mamie or
Cousin Margaret Is sighting you.
Your packages are probably in the
mail. While local mail is moving
without delay and absolutely on
days behind time, according to the
Postoffice Department. Tons of
Christmas presents were thrown into
the mails at the big terminal during
the past two days. The avalanche of
late packages means disappointment
to thousands of homes. Again you
see the hand of the late shopper and
last-minute mailer.
While unemployment Is no longer a
problem OF charity workers, they
have found a great deal of relief
work to do among the poor of the
city, among whom are numbered
many sick people and deserted wives
with children. Food, fuel, clothing
and Christmas cheer have been pro-
vided for these poor folk by the Asso-
ciated Charities, the Gospel Mission.
the Central Union Mission and the
Salvation Army. Big Christmas trees
will also furnish a gay background
for the missions entertainments for
the kiddies they are interested in and
who would otherwise miss Santa
Claus completely.

CHICAGO CHEERED
BY CORN'S COMING

Chicago, Dec. 23.-New corn in large
quantities is expected to come forward
from this time until there is a general
easing up OF the supply held in the
interior. Manufacturers, exporters
and spectators are awaiting much
needed supplies.
Public and private advices from
Great Britain say that the corn mar
ket there Is a strong one because OF
the pressing demand from various in
terests coupled with the light offer
ings in all positions.
There has been a noticeable falling
on in the demand for cash oats of
late but this is partly offset by the
smaller offerings by the country as
well as other interests.
On the sensational market Of last
Thursday there was a general evening
up Of professionals in the trade.
The situation in hog products may
be called firm because of the fact that
the offered article here is held by
strong hands.

With a week longer to run. Dan
Cupid promises this year to do better
than in all his born days.
So far that sly little bowgun sniped

them into Col. w. A. Kroll TO take the
first step toward getting the knot
tied.
This beats last years record all to
snithereens. For the entire year Of
1916. 4,353 licenses were issued. Just
LBS less than this year. Even at the
first of this month the score was
beaten.
Last years record was considered a
record breaker. This years, with an
other week to pass, promises to be
somewhere near the 5000 mark.
Going back FIVE years. we find the
records all a little above the 1000
mark. For 1912, 4.1S9: for 1s1S 4,165:
for 1914. 4,2OS; for 1916. Abs. and for

But this year he is more sure OF his
year to waste a single shot.
why the big increase?" Col. Kroll
is asked many times.
1T may be due to the war;" answers
the colonel, 'It may be due to pros
perity, or 1t may be due to the fact
that more people have fallen in love
with each other. I believe this last
reason has more to do with it than
any other"
One specific reason for the increase,
however. is the war. More soldiers
have applied to Col Knoll for licenses
this year than he ever saw at the
courthouse since he has been there
The girls want to get married and
the fellows do not want to disappoint
them before embarking for some

High Wages Help, Too.
Higher wages is another reason.
But there is also the higher cost
of living too. Oh, we'll, when two
people are in love with each other.

MAIL CENSORS

Officials Reticent, but Re.

United States mail for Europe has
been under the closest scrutiny by en-
pert censors since November /. The
fact Of this censorship has been volun.
tarily kept secret by the newspapers
who were Informed OF II at the time,
and as a result important channels OF
espionage have been uncovered II
is understood here that a number Uf
arrests have been made. Oficials,
however. decline to discuss any Of the
details Of the arrangements.

was leaking into Germany through
mail to neutral countries. The secret
service has had a number Of suspects
under surveillance for many months
and 1t Is understood that the exami-
nation OF their mail was all that was
needed to fasten their guilt upon
them.
The United States has become the
recognized center for code experts
within the last few months and II L.
understood that the men who de-
ciphered the code in which the Lux
burg and Bernstorfr messages were
sent have done valuable work on
many letters picked out of the Eu-
ropean mails.
The censorship. which it Is now per-
mitted to speak Of, is independent of
the work of the customs service in
discovering channels Of communica-
ton by which mail was smuggled on
neutral vessels through the conniy-
ance OF the crew.
Code Experts Discoveries.
Many OF the letters seized are Of a
highly amusing nature. Apparently
innocent messages with regard TO the
health OF dear ones or harmless bust
ness communications, have turned out
under the eyes OF the code experts
here to be well developed treatises on
the war preparations OF the United
States.
