Washington. June 2o.-Presideni
Wilson's action in proclaiming a re
cruiting week for the regular army
was taken at the request OF
army officials who have been serl-
ously concerned over the slow rate
OF recruiting for the regular army
despite the fact that the War Depart
ment's recruiting agencies cover every
section of the country and that men
are asked to serve only for the period
of the war.
1t had been hoped that the regular
service could be brought to its whole
war strength of approximately oOO,OVo
mon by June 30, which would have per-
mitted the War Department TO carry
out its plans in regard to the training
of all the forces to be raised and also
as TO the dispatch of armies to France.
For several days, however, the average
enrolment for the army day has

Swiss Mob Stones
Teuton Consulates;
Cheers for Allies

Geneva, Switzerland, June 20.-Dis-
closures in the case of DR.. Arthur Hoff-
mann. chief of the Political Department
of the Council, following his resigna-
ton after communication 20 Rober.
Grimm in Pctrogrtd of offers Of sepa-
rate German peace with Russia, have
excited the populace. They led last
evening to protest meetings and pro-
Ally demonstrations that eliminated in
a descent on the German and Austro-
Hungarian consulates. These were
stoned before the police could interfere.
A crowd Of 5000 gathered early in
the principal square and was ad-
dressed by several parliamentary dep
uties. including one Socialist, VINO Wig
orously denounced the part played by
the Socialist Grimm. The speaker de-
clared that Grimm had tried 10 push
Switzerland into the international con-
fagration for the sake of serving Ger
many. The speeches were punctuated
hv cries of "Treasonl" whenever the
names of Hoffman, and Grimm were
mentioned. The meeting concluded
with the drawing up OF resolutions
denouncing the whole affair.
After the mass meeting crowds
surged about the streets singing La
Marseillaise" and the Swiss national
anthem. They gathered before the
consulates, demonstrating in favor of
the Allies on every possible occasion
and throwing stones and hooting at
houses suspected of having German
or German residents. The windows
~ the German and Austrian oonsulates
were smashed, and a man who tried TO
nrotest had to be rescued by the police.
Eighteen persons we're arrested before
ord.r was restored.

Delay Could Have
Been Prevented

II NAV be said that only three weeks
or so will be lost in getting the faori-
Gated steel ships under way, because
the appropriation was not passed until
a few days ago. but had a design been
readv a good deal could have been done
toward getting the programme started
before the appropriation was made.
Moreover. General Goethals was as
sured before the appropriation was
nassed BY the leading members OF Con
eress. moved by the suggestion that
Congress was holding up ships, that he
was free 70 go ahead with this prepara-
tion lust as If the money were already
available. In an emergency IKE TINS
no one would have questioned ms acts
in anticipating an appropriation oy
Congress.
The time that must elapse before the
fabricated steel ship programme can be
carried into effect has brought 70 LIE
the wooden ship idea. ! am IN a posi-
tion 10 say with the utmost confidence
that the original wooden ship plan OF
vessel of a simple, easily and quickly
constructed type will be carried out TO
the fullest extent possible. 1t is not
ve. clear how il will be done. General
Goathals may be ordered 70 build the
wooden ships. in which case he may re-
sign. Or the President may put some
one else in charge Of building wooden
ships.
The President under the law just
passtd has a perfectly free hand 10 or
canize for the building OF the S750,000,-
COO worth of ships as he sees fit. Ac-
cording 20 the language of the act he
may delegate the great powers con-
ferred by it TO any agency or agencies
he chooses. The plural word leaves him
free to make one man builder of steel
ships and another builder Of wooden
ships. . Or he may take this big pro-
grammc entirely out of the hands OF
the Shipping Board. which Congress so
greatly distrusts. and put il under the
Council of National Defence.

Not One Contract Has
Been Let for a Fab
ricated Steel Ship
Money Ready;
Designs Lacking
President Expected to
Insist on Construction
of Wooden Vessels
By c. w. Gilbert

Washington, June 2O.-The fabri-
Gated steel ship programme, which is
TO be our answer to Germany's sub
marine campaign, is still weeks from
getting under way.
General Goethals has been in Of
fee about two months and hasn't yet
design for the fabricated steel ship on
which the better part OF three-quarters
of a billion dollars IS to be spent. The
design will not be ready for eighteen
or twenty days.
Not a single pile has been driven
for ways upon which the huge fleet OF
fabricated steel ships is to be built.
The money has been appropriated
several days, but not contract tof
fabricated steel ships has been let, be-
cause no design for the ships exists.
No fabricated steel for ships is being
made for the same reason, and wnat-
ever machinery steel mills will have to
obtain in order TO fabricate ship parts
waits upon the production OF the de-
sign.
The President has thus far failed TO
delegate TO General Goethals the
powers granted in the urgent deficiency
bill appropriating S750,O00,oO0 for ship
construction, as was promised to the
Senate in the Presidents name, prob.
ably because the President is aware of
the fabricated steel ship situation and
probably also because of the questions
that have arisen in connection with
General Goethals's action in making. a
price of s95 ton for steel, when the
navy was paying only s65 ton. II is
also probable that the President is de-
termined to insist upon large wooden
ship programme in addition to the

EVANCELINE TONIGHT

Elsie Drammnd's main idea in
life is to marry money. Consequent
ly, the mere fact that the money
she wants to marry is in love with
her sister, Helen, has no effort on
her. Elsie succeeds, by a series of
lies, forged letters, and arranged
meetings, in drawing Knowles Muir
ray away from her sister, and
marrying him herself.
Murray is in the diplomatic ser
vice of the United States, and his
work forces him to take his wife to
France for a few years When the
two return to Washington, Elsie is
filed once more with the spirit of
conquest.
This time the sought victim is
another lover of Helen, Martin
Stevens. But Elsie is unsuccessful in
everything except the unmasking of
her own methods. Stevens wants to
expose her to her husband, but Hell
en- realizing that the future of
Elsie's children depends on the hid
ing of this fact, begs him to keep
quiet.

1917 FLAG DAY

In accordance with It's custom 70
the past twenty years, the American
Flag Association reminds you tina
Thursday, June IA, 1917, will b,
the 140th anniversary Of the adop
ton of the stars and stripes, as tn.
public recognition Of Flag Day as /,
National anniversary is each veal
becoming more and more general
Any reminder would seem unneces
sary to secure your cooperation il
securing the widest possible obser
vance this year.
On the 14th day of June, 1776
Congress enacted: ''That the FLAG
of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes. alternate red and
white; that the Union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation" The
number of stars have been increased
by the admission of new stars. The
possibilities Of the nations future
development dawned upon our
fathers. The original thirteen stripes
continued for several years and
were then changed after few
years only were unchangeably re-
stored by act of Congress on April
4, 1918, when it was enacted: "That
from and after the fourth day of
July next, the Flag Of the United
States be thirteen horizontal stripes,
alternate red and white; that the
Union be twenty stars, white, in
blue field, and that on the admis-
sion of new State into the Union
one star be added to the Union of
the Flag, and such addition take eff
feet on the fourth day of July next.
succeeding such admission" The
Flag has so continued ever since.
Since the struggle of 1861-1865,
the Flag has become the symbol of
a mighty nation. It has been carried
to the utmost parts of the earth,
carrying liberty wherever it has
ben thrown to the breeze.
We are now in the midst of an
anxic is time in all our nation,
against calling for an expression Of
our most sincere devotion to the
Flag of our country, and what it |
stands for. The stars and stripes,
rave come to possess new beauty
'or friendly eyes and new terror for
he foes of liberty, and of law and
order, and of lawful government.
The Flag of our country this year
1917, stands for more than ever be- |
ore. We fight for democracy,
equality and the right Of all nations,
IS well as our own, to enjoy peace
md security, and we also fight for
'ur national honor, and we have
lgainst US none bnt autocracy and
he despotisms that yet remain up
N the earth.
We earnestly exhort our citizens
o join in making Flag Day an event

and to the other, fling the stars
