WASHINGTON is A CITY OF
PATRIOTISM ENTHUSIASM AND
OF ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE

WASHINGTON. June 19.-Washing-
ton as war capital is city of patro-
tism, enthusiasm and absolute CON
fidence.
1t is like big college town on the
eve of an important football game, in
which everybody is positive the home
team will win.
AS yet it has none of the darkened
streets and bereaved homes of Lon
don and Paris, none of the food reguia
TOMS and casualty lists of Berlin and
Vienna and no hint of the anarchy
and riots which have hit Petrograd.
The city is afiutter with flags, and
at night searchlights pick out the
Stars and Stripes floating over many
of the downtown buildings. The thump
OF the war-drum is frequently heard
The crash of martial music stirs his
toric Pennsylvania Avenue. Soldiers
and sailors mingle with the crowds
but they attract little attention. Bugles
sound, the shrill fife rings over the
noise of traffic as the citizens &c
about their business as usual"
In the midst of the most important
period since Southern armies SMASHED
at the capitol's defenses so years ago
Washington refuses to believe there i;
cause for anything more than feel
ing of implicit confidence that with
every man and woman "in the play
the Kaiser will be soundly thrashej
and wars darker side will never throw
a shadow over its gay street.
There are guards at the Govern
ment buildings, where official passes
or permits are demanded. This about
sums up the war atmosphere visible to
the casual observer in Washington.
Underneath it all there is the real,
grim push of preparation for the tin.
tatic conflict, but these activities do
not rop out on the surface. The peopls
radiate confidence. Their attitude to-
wards the great army now in process
of organization is: Eat 'em up boys,
and get home soon Well wait for
dinner"

SAYS PRETTY CLOTHES
ARE FOR WOMEN AT ALL TINES

ROME, Italy, June 19.-Regardins
editorial criticisms of women who
continue to wear fine clothes, despite
the war, Miss Elvira Spina has pro
tested to the editor of the Cironale
n'Italia in a letter as follows:
"The simple and sad truth is that il
does not pay to be a modestly dressed
woman. Let me make confession,
The woman who forces herself to live
quietly, to dress unattractively, goes
unobserved. The other woman who
makes an elaborate toilette, who wears
flashy clothes, is admired. couted, low
ed, married. These days husbands
are scarce. So what are we to do.
how can we resist temptation? Peace
time, war time, men are the same.
Change the men and then we too will
change"

An INSIDE TIP
ON THE OPERATION
Of A BRITISH TANK

PARIS, June 19-How does it feel
ard sound In the "innards" of Brit
ish tank in action?
Bullets Gathering against the steel
covered sides of the newly invented
war machine sound like myriads OF
hailstones against the window of a
moving train. A direct hit by shell
shakes the monster from stem to
.. stern and rattles your teeth but in
tanks like this it merely tickles their
ribs and they wallow on.
A first hand description Of tank
| fighting was given here today by one
of the crew of H. M. Landship Itch
ithyosaurus." He speaks from inside
information.
You need your sealegs to ride a
tank the land seaman said, describ-
ing the slow rolling ride towards an
enemy machine-gun nest" somewhere
on the Somme. The tank approaches
the German wire-brown rusty en-
itanglements in multitudious rows. 1t
slides down an old mine crater and
waddles UP the other side. 1t cuts
| through the forest of wire with
scratchy crunching sounds and just
ahead is the nest" piles of white
sand bags with little loopholes here
and there.
I'VE fire without ceasing hand on
gun and eye glued to the loophole
pierced in the steel with sweat pour
ing down our forearms.
"A thud; a powerful painting, a last
and almost imperceptible stop. The
nose of our tank scatters sand and &C.
ment bags throwing them right and
left as If it were ploughing up field
Then comes another violent shock, and
heavy blow and crashing. We are
going straight through wall and
are pulyerizing machine-guns. Gren-
AIDES burst upon the tanks armor. We
are in the midst of the NEST" All at
once enemy heads with terror on their
faces appear on both sides of us. Now
is our turn. Our machineguns crackle;
our bullets whistle into the German
trenches which we are enfilading and
we throw lead into the underground
passage leading from the nest" to
the rear. The Germans are in the
greatest disorder. They throw them
selves fat on their stomachs, they
raise their arms to heaven and SONS
Of them try to run away.
"A whistle sounds in the tank and
we stop. Then wild cheers come
Ifaintly to our ears. The Tommies are
lust behind us. They take possession
of the nest" and gather up everything
living which remains.

WILL SONS PROGRAM
|0F ACTIVITIES IS
EXTREMELY SIMPLE

WASHINGTON, June 19-Simplicity
marks the daily routine of President
Wilson in these busy war days at the
Capitol. There is plenty of work for
the chief executive but an order of his
physician the President devotes a GER
tain part of each day to keeping in
trim"
Eleven holes of golf in the morning,
theater two evenings week, short
automobile ride in the afternoon and
an occasional close friend at luncheon
or dinner constitutes the recreation
that provides a half way relaxation
from the strain of executive problems
President Wilson is man of unus-
ual Commemorative powers. When he
considers legislative measure it is
weighed from every possible angle.
! All else is excluded.
He plays just as hard as he works.
This, it has been said enables him to
get more benefit from his limited
amount of exercise.
On the links every fibre is concen-
trated on the immediate drive or putt
Re is executing. At the theater, the
performance either holds his undivid
ed attention OF bores him to distraction
4 well-trained animal act or a rollick-
ing comedian are always rewarded by
hearty applause and true ringing
laughter from the presidential box in
Washington's vaudeville theatre.
Appointments with the president arc
arranged day in advance. Policemen
are stationed at every entrance and
Only those who have appointments are
allowed to enter the White House
grounds.
Recently blood relative of the
President, here for short stay, found
it impossible to call at the White
House.
Fifteen minutes is the usual time al
lowed for interviews but it is seldom
that they last that long.
The secret service guard has been
doubled. When the President goes
for walk they go with him. When he
attends the theater they scatter on
every floor of the playhouse. The
Secret Service automobile follows the
Presidents car at two lengths and the
crowd which congregates when the
machines stops is closely scrutinized
before the President alights.
These precautions are voluntary on
the part of the secret service men. The
President has never requested extra
protection. He does not delay STEP
ping from his automobile until the
service men have sized up the crowd.
Not the slightest trace of nervousness
on the Presidents part is ever notice
able in public.
The wiseness of not neglecting ex-
ercise and recreation shows in his
personal appearance. Despite the stress
of war problems, the President is
