These men will sup ervise the distribution of supplies ar irving from Red Cross depots. Calls for hospital supplies made ny chapters and organizations affiliated with the Red Cross as far as possible will be filled as orders at a factory are filled.
 MT. Hoover's letter, outlining the ne- cessty for such work as the supply service will do, is as follows:
 AS the result of the past 219 years experience of war, all European coun- tries now know the vital necessity foi a total centralization under the Red Cross executive of the whole of the volunteer civilian effect connected with the comfort of those in the service of the army and navy.
 Every country in EuroDe has gone through an era of disintegrated over tapping effort, the multiplying of thous- S- inapropos, and wrongly destined ma terial.
 There was a long struggle on the part of the military and Red Cross of ficials to get those matters on to a sys- temetic and effective basis.
 Tn the end they have come to one form of organization in every country in Europe, by which the Red Cross eX- ecutive centralizes executive control Of all such activities and decenualizes its various phases into local chapters and these again are divided into divisions for the provision of money, of surgical and medical supplies, of nurses of tase and convalestent hospitals, the crea- tion. collection.

Amer jean men around the border who possess cars do not, naturally, care to nave a Mexican walk off with car quite as much as they would be will ing to have an American do so, and having real appreciation for their cars 'hrvhave been quick to grasp the pro- lection offered by the Auto Theft Sig nal sales system.
 Even among the Mexicans them selves the offer of a $100 reward by the manufacturers has made stir, and is helping out in the cooperative effect desired

After the first week in June, ac- cording to the law passed by the last legislature, those granted decrees Of divorce will have to wait an entire year before they can remarry, the state having adopted the interlocutory de- cree of divorce. In spite of this fact there have been remarkably few ap- plications for divorce decrees the past few weeks which is in itself favor able sign, say experts.
 James Miller, Jr., of the office of the clerk of the superior court, is of the opinion that Phoenicians are not keen to remarry While his record for April shows an unprecedented amount of marriage licenses they have been granted to rather young men and women-few who have been married before He says that he noted fewer divorce complaints during the past month than ever and the records show fewer decreeS granted.

that central agency has proved the only effective method of securing this.
 Tn England and France especially, the erection of special and independent or semi independent women's commit tees has been fruitful of the most eX- treme difficulty until they accept direct control after which they have become of the utmost use and purpose. The all ready established women's organiza tions of various kinds can find their best "urposs in instructing their local bodies to place themselves entirely at the disposal of the local chapters of the Red Cross.

FIELD AND TRIAL
CLUB OBJECTS TO
HIGHER DOG TAX

Following a meeting Of the Ma
tiona1 Capital Field and Trial Club, L.
E. smoot, president. appointed a COM
mittee consisting OF himself. P. n.
Tamplett, and G. L Nicholson to call
on the Commissioners protesting
against the proposed $40 dog tax. The
club met last night at the Home Life
building.
'Tf the proposed tax is sxacted," !"
said Mr.. Smoot, ''the breeding OF high
class dogs in the District will cease.
II IL ridiculous to suppose that a man
IN ordinary circumstances will pay
the proposed tax The law is too dras-
tic. Something of the sort was tried
in Charles county, Nd, some years
ago. The commissioners, however,
soon saw fhat It was a farce and the
law was repealed.
Tt IL not necessary to impose q higher
tax All that Is needed is to see that a
dog is properly muzEled. when on the
streets It is not the hIgh-class dogs
that cause trouble. but those which are
allowed to run at random These stray
ours should be picked up and shot.
The club will hold field days Novem-

the purpose OF improving the breed Of

tackled by the Germans in the Baltic
has been answered by Arthur Pollen,
foremost British naval critic, who Is
now in Washington.
1t would be suiefdaI, Pollen said,
for the British to attempt to enter
the Baltic without FIRST gaining con-
troll OF the land forts Of the Danish
archipelago. This. he said, was q
military and political, not a naval
question, as It necessitated either sub
jugation OF the Danish neutrals, or
winning them over to the allies.
when the Germans pushed their
ships into the Gulf of Riga" Pollen
said. "they took Oesel and Dago
Islands, which commanded the mine
fields. No feet could count on a safe
entry into or exit from the Baltic
unless It similarly controlled the
Danish archipelago forts which COM
mand the Baltic.

which control the Baltic, therefore, IL
not a naval question, but a military

easy once the command OF the land
forts IL gained, either By conquest or
by gaining the ScandinRviGns as al
lies"
Mr.. Pollen said that Premier Re-
rensky had failed to take this matter
into consideration It was not the
hrst time q statesman had made an
error OF Judgment In naval matters,
however, Pollen said. He pointed to
the Dardanelles campaign, ordered by
Premier Asquith. with the advice and
consent OF foremost military and
naval authorities This campaign he
characterized as the most colossal
naval blunder of history.

There are three things which viii

the Federation Of Citizens Associa-

help in attaining them, as they would

They are: An Investigation of nre

Gardiner declared are excessive; more

eras and to protect drivers from reck-
less and careless pedestrians; and the
housing and accommodation OF the
many thousands OF newcomers to this
city.

OF the District. made an appeal for
the conservation OF coal
Mr.. Weaver urged coal consumers
to handle the fuel they use in their
homes themselves, and not to intrust
II to their servants, and even asked
them to put II in the cellars and feed
the furnace and clean II themselves.
He said that the negro who usually
performs that Job Is wanted else
where to do more necessary work.
"A remarkable situation exists In
the District with reference to frs in
