The European war is working Won
derful changes. Just think Of the
Russian Empire, under the oppressive
heel of monarchy, cutting. loose ana
becoming republic. Just what is
needed in Russia. The lower classes
of people have had no opportunities
under the old regime. The only time
the government would show any elas-
ticity would be when it was in the
throes of war, and the czar feared a
popular uprising. 1t rose the other day
and the government could not restrain
hence the reign of the Roman dynasty
was ended The men in control now
are in favor of prosecuting the war
against Germany with renewed vigor.
Lines were tightened last year in
Great Britain when Lloyd-George was
put in as premier, and a reorganization
is going on in France towards the
prosecution of the war. The war party
appears to get control in any country
soon as a measure of strength comes.
There are signs of an upheaval in Ger
many, but it is not likely any change
will come, so long as Kaiser Wilhelm
is successful Should reverses come
with the army. Germany too is ready
to overthrow those in control, or at
least attempt it.

From the Independent

Band practice brought out thirty fu-
ture greats Tuesday night and some
great squawking was heard. The band
goes to Rosebud schoolhouse tonight
to furnish little music for the enter
tainment and box social If you have
nothing else to do, come out that way.
If you don't know the way just keep
your ears open-you can hear the band
for miles. No practice was held last
night, as the program was upset a lit
tie by the Rosebud deal, but that gave
the boys a chance to go to choir prac-
tice or see Silas Mariner at the Movie
house.

The railroad men won their strike
with the railroads. The strike OF last
September was made to bring the rail
roads to time. This one seemed to be
for the purpose of hurrying up our
federal supreme court, which is very
slow moving body when it comes to
anything which concerns the common
people. The railroad brotherhoods
have an effective way of getting at
things anyway.

BOAT is STRUCK BY SHELL
Eight Men Killed When Submarine At.
tacks Relief Ship.

London, March 21.-Three officers
and five seamen from one of the Bel
gian relief steamers which had letters
of safe conduct from the German lega-
tion in Amsterdam were killed when
the ship was attacked by German
submarine and shelled.
There is some confusion over the
identity of the steamer. Reuters re-
ports from Stavanger say it was the
Selein, which is not listed in available
shipping records. The ship may have
been the Selone.
When the attack came, the ship did
not stop, but lowered lifeboat, into
which the first, second and third mates
and five members of the crew took to
the open seas. The boat was struck
by shell from the submarine.

o route will be the way he will 9
o likely choose. Pills and purga- 9
o tives will find hearty welcome 9
o and become a warm friend to 9
@ persons who so poison them 9
y selves. The trouble arising from 9
o eating food of this kind is that it 9
o ferments in the stomach, throws &
o off poisons and creates condi- 4
o tion which calls for stronger 6
o poison in the form Of medicine &
o to throw off the food poison. The &
8 medicine habit is acquired, and &
o the digestive organs Of the stom- 9

CONGRESSMAN HUBERT
WORKING FOR STADIUM
New York Representative Pushing Bill
for Athletic Field in Potomac Park.

That stadium in East Potomac Park.
which IL designed as the eventual
grounds for the holding of all national
championships in all sports, moved a lit
tie bit nearer yesterday.
It will take s1.545ooo TO build the great
athletic field and recreation ground on
the shores of the Potomac, which the A.
A. u. would like to see and which Rep
resentative Murray Hubert, of New
York. has sought in a bill now before
Congress.
Congress has already granted 81, 900
Of the amount deemed necessary. This
provides a shelter house and a part of
the boat harbor. Representative HUI
bert wants Congress to go further.
He saw Representative Fitzgerald. of
the House Appropriations Committee.
yesterday, and secured his tentative
agreement to a plan for another hearing
on the proposed improvement. An addi-
tional appropriation to finish the shelter
house which is not yet completed is de-
sired. and as much more as the commit
tee feels It can furnish.
81 want to get all the amateur athletes
In the United States interested in this
proposition" said Congressman Hubert
'and then watch how it will advance.
This is a great proposition for the Dis
trict, and 1t is a great proposition for
States who are interested in clean sport.
When we have our next hearing I hope
to have representatives from all parts OF
the United States present to boost this
plan.
'Clesn, healthy sport means clean
! healthy boys and girls. and consider II
very essential part Of our education. II
we get this big stadium and recreation
grounds In Washington and have nation
al schoolboy and schoolgirl champion
ships here every year. 1t is a great stim-
ulus to the high school boys and girls TO
get out and try to make their mark in
sports.
"A trip to Washington Is an epoch in
the lives Of most schol children, and II
we had this grand concourse where they
could meet and strive for national hon
ors II would prove a great stimulus to
sport.
You can say for me that I don't pro-
pose TO let this matter slumber While
/ am In Congress I will work to the ut
most for this proposition. Not for the
District but for the boys and girls OF
the United States"
