UNITED SERVICE CLUB
IS NEARING 500 MARK

The United Service Club OF
America, located in the historic James
q Blaine mansion, which two weeks
ago had but 176 members, has today
nearly reached the 500 mark.
This club was organized to provide
the comforts of home for officers OF
the army. navy. and marine corps on
duty in Washington or who may be
temporarily in the Capital City.
Since its opening, two weeks ago. Its
popularity has increased by leaps
and bounds. and today the manage
ment is planning to take over large
house near by, capable of accommo-
dating 100 men. as an annex.
An open fire, such as officers Of
the Revolutionary War used to warm
themselves before, Is one OF the fea-
lures Of the club. Two dining rooms,
one for officers only and the other
for officers and their guests; smok-
ing, reading. and writing rooms are
at the service OF members. A dormi-
tory for transient officers. who be-
come associate members by payment
OF IS a year. can be used by officers
temporarily in Washington.

By DAVID LAWRENCE.


ury Department today. Even the rail-
road men showed an approval amount
ing to an enthusiasm over the move.
The general feeling seemed to be that
the Government intended to do the
right thing by the railroads and their
employees, and that, with uncertainty
removed, the nation could go forward
rapidly in its Industrial reorganiEa-
ton for war.
And it is worth while noting today
that one effect of the Government op-
GRAFTON Of railroads will be the estao-
lishment OF a priority system that VIII
automatically draw the line between
essential and non-essential industries
and products.
The Government will naturally give
preference to the things II needs Tor
the military and naval Establishment
and for the sustenance Of the civil
ian population. There will be cars
Tor necessities not luxuries.
And when freight cars are not
available to carry raw material to
factories engaged in making luXurieS
or transportation facilities to dis
tribute them, the difference between
essential and nonessentials in busi-
ness will gradually be hxed.
The implications of the Presidents
step are fully recognized in the Gov
eminent circle. William Gibbs Nc
Auoo has the biggest job OF the war
next to that of the President. Can
he do it? The next six months will
tell.

toned in Paris for a time he was sent
to the front While In this city he was
assistant receiving teller Of the

and Is cents to Chesapeake Junction,
Takoma Park, Congress Heights, Ken:
ilworth, Chevy Chase, and Tenleytown,
were the other suggestions.
1t seemed to be the general Keeling
among the jitney drivers that a 3-cent
fare would be sufficient from the
White House to Fifteenth and H
streets northeast, an airline distance
of about three miles. and they felt
that an additional charge Of 10 cents
should be made for points beyond to
the District line and the suburbs. A
straight minimum fare from Brook
land of 10 cents was declared to be
necessary, with additional fares for
more distant points.
Several titney owners asked that
they be allowed to operate along G
street, between Seventh and Fifteenth
streets, in coming from Brookland.
and others asked that when their ma
chimes were full of incoming passen-
gers. they be permitted to go by the
shortest and most direct route to the
point where the first passenger is to
be discharged, instead Of following
the prescribed route.

TROLLEY SERVICE
rifles HOLY NAME
/ SOCIETY LEADERS

The street car service to Brookland
is 30 atroeious that the Holy Name
Society has been shot all to pieces"
This was one Of the features OF the
testimony Of the Rev. J. L. O'Hern
given today when the Public Utilities
Commission heard the pleas Of jitney
driFers for an increase in the fare
charged and restoration of certain
routes along which jitneys be per
mftted to run. The Rev. O'Hern ap-
peared with the Rev. Thomas Moore,
of Catholic University, to make plea
for the jitney route to Brookland.
The purpose of the Holy Name So
ciety was, he said, to do away with
curSing and swearing in Brookland,
but that owing 20 the bad car service
many Of the society's members paid
no heed to its edict against taking
the Lords name in vain"
Citizens Favor JItaey Plan.
Both Father o'Hern and Father
Moore favored allowing a jitney rate
that would attract this means of
travel.
One citizen in complaining OF the
Brookland street car service, said that
when the street cars give service
there will be no occasion for jitneys."
Commissioner Gardiner asked IL
they were not giving service, and a
chorus went up from several in the
room, street car service in Brookland
is q joke"
Two plans for defining zones in
which different fares should be
charged were before the commission
as q means of meeting the situation
created by inadequate car service.
One scheme outlined was to divide
the city into three zones with fares
ranging from to Is cents, and the
other for q flat rate Of 10 cents
throughout the city.
Five Cents for Downtown.
Under the first the cents zone
would take in Fifteenth and H streets
northeast to and across the Aqueduct
bridge; to Lincoln Park and vicinity;
and across AQueduct bridge from ,--e
heart of the city. Ten cents to be
charged to the Bladensburg road and
District line, Brookland. Langdon,

Intended to Speed work.

BowIes defended this form OF
agency" contract on the ground that
only through this virtual subsidy
could the large standardized fabri-
Gated steel ship output be obtained.
This International contract was let
on September 10. 1917, and called for
delivery of the 120 ships, beginning a
year hence. A per cent fee on each
ship is allowed the company, with
premiums for both company and en-
ployes for speed and economies.
Bowles denied that officials of the In
ternational company were connected
with steel interests and were thus
making a double profit.
The Senate probers directed their
fire also at the Sloan Shipbuilding Cor
poration, of Seattle, concerning whose
contracts Senator Jones said there
had been many urgly rumors. BoWles
said he was unfamiliar as to how this
company obtained its contract, as 1t
was lone of the troubles" he had In
herited from his predecessors. He
promised to furnish the committee
with desired information.
Bowles prefaced his testimony oy
saying that since he had appeared
before the committee before. three
more new ships had been launched
one at Seattle. $500 tons; one at Cam
den IL 600 tons; one at New York.
1900 tons. Two other requisitioned
ships also had been completed he
said.

nettled committee members.
Sharpe In effect told the committee
that detailed information concerning
manufacture Of wooden cloth for uni
forms and overcoats must be obtained
from the supplies committee OF the coun-
Gil Of national defense.
Sharpe said the Government has
been paying cents a pound for sort
ing scraps of cloth which later are
sold, though the work can be done
for 2 cents a pound. The s cents con-
tract was made on the advice Of the
council, Sharpe said. The Government
Is now preparing to take over the
plant, Sharpe said. because the price
charged was too high.
Mr.. Charles Eismann, member of
a committee Of the Council OF Ma
tional Defense, suggested that the
contract be made at s cents a pound,
Sharpe testified.
This was done in September, and
Sharpe did not make any EFFORT to
learn whether this price was fair I'M
til December, he said.

Early In Year.

"Well. 1 hope to have them early
in the year." replied Sharpe. "Deliv-
cries aren't coming in yet"
Pressed for explanation Of the delay
in deliveries, Sharpe said strikes in
garment factories had been one cause.
He had no data on the extent OF the
delay caused by strikes.
81 told the depot quartermaster at
Philadelphia, who had charge OF the
clothing matter, to take the cloth
away from factories where there
were strikes, and give 1t to other
concerns" said Sharpe.
Sharpe said no manufacturers of
the thirty-ounce cloth used in over
coats lived UP to their promises re-
garding deliveries, Sharpe was un-
able to tell the committee why the
delays occurred.

on Mcclellan.
Sharpe made q number of indirect
answers, but Mcclellan insisted on be-
ing answered directly. Sharpe finally
said the War Department had notified
him that there would be approximate,
ly 1900. 900 men in the army. He
got no direct orders to provide equip

said, but went ahead on his own in

BIamea Red Tape.

Sharpe explained that department
red tape held up the founding Of a
school for quartermaster's officers.
II 1t hadn't been for that delay, he
said, he would have been much bet
ter equipped to handle the situation.
The general staff and the War Col
lege squabbled over the establish
ment Of the school, Sharpe said. This
squabbling ragged over the question
Of who would be given control for
building the training school. Sharpe
said he didn't know much about the
dispute as the cantonment division
had charge OF the construction.
"Is that quartermaster's school En-.
tablished YETI" asked Mcclellan,
oh yes, it's running now" ssid
Sharpe.
