WHITLOCK GOES TO HAvRE

American relief workers in Belgium
and American Minister Brand Whitlock

Belgium. Official announcement to this
effect was made at the State Depart
ment this morning.
The American relief commission will
be replaced as far as possible by mem
bers of a joint neutral commission.
largely under the supervision of Dutch
military officials. Brand Whitlock will
go to Havre, France, resuming his
duties as minister at the temporary
Belgian capital
Secretary Lansing, at the direction
of President Wilson, sent note to the
Netherlands accepting its offer to take
over the work of the commission.
Plans for American Workers.
The action of the President in Or
dering out the Americans was based
on the belief that nothing was to be
gained by keeping Americans longer
in territory occupied by German troops
in Belgium and northern France. 1t is
desired for humanitarian reasons that
the work of the commission be con-
tinued and the government of the
Netherlands has been asked to COM
municate with the commissions Rot
terdam office to take over the work and
determine how many Dutch citizens
will be needed for it,
1t is understood here that a large
number of Dutch students will be call
ed upon to assist. Arrangements for
the return to the United States of many
of the Americans now are being made
by the State Department.
Although removed from the active
field Americans in Rotterdam, head
ed by Herbert c. Hoover. will continue
to direct the work.
Complications Not Unlikely.
Complications over the shipment of
foodstuffs for distribution to the Bel
gians by the Netherlands may result
from the fact that it is considered here
Great Britain's extension of the North
Sea danger zone virtually constitutes
blockade of the coast of Holland.
The Netherlands at this time is said
to be in urgent need of foodstuffs,
which 1t is unable to secure because
of the detention in British ports of
Dutch ships and the danger on the
seas from German submarines.

Where Service Is Needed.

It is because Of these considerations
that 1t has been suggested it would be
the part of wisdom to utilize the serv-
ices Of the District National Guard to
safeguard the government buildings in
this city, including the naval gun fac
tory, the bridges across the Potomac
and the Anacostia rivers, the big NUM-
tions plant at Giesboro Point, the naval
proving grounds and powder plant at
Indian Head, down the Potomac, and
the big power plants and factories in
the District of Columbia
The District troops could be used to
reinforce the small available forces OF
regular troops and marines stationed In
this vicinity.
Gen. Mann, chief of the bureau OF
militia affairs at the War Department,
said that the question of utilizing the
District National Guard in the event OF
an emergency had been given consid-
GRAFTON, but that there WAS no indiea-
ton at present that any action in thai
direction was In contemplation.
In other high military quarters it was
stated that the Secretary Of War wifi
not hesitate to ask for the secYices OF
the District troops in case he deems IL
desirable in the interests of the gov
ernment or the municipality.

MAYCA[LD.C GUARD
TO ACTIVE SERVICE
President Understood to De-
pend on Local Soldiers to
Meet an Emergency.
MEASURES OF PRECAUTI0N

1t is not at all improbable that the
entire National Guard of the District
of Columbia may be called again into
active field service. if only for the
purpose of guarding the railroad and
water approaches to the National
Capital. At the War Department it is
admitted that the President would not
hesitate to call the men into service
in case he deemed it essential to meet
an eme. gency. Under the statutes. the
District National Guard. is under the
United States and is subject to orders
from him for the protection of the
interests of the government.
Precautions Taken in States.
Attention has been called to the fact
that the governors Of Massachusetts.
Maryland and other states have called
out state troops to guard munition
plants, railroad bridges and state and
federal property.
The two railroad bridges across the
Susquehanna river at Havre de Grace.
affording the principal railroad con-
nection between the north and south,
are being guarded against possible
damage by troops of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard.
The Pennsylvania railroad bridges
across the Potomac and Anacostia riv-
ers are regarded as equally important
| as railroad links between the north and
the south, especially the bridge across
the Potomac. The destruction of the
latter bridge would completely cut of
direct railroad connections with points
south OF the city.

4NEW METHOD WILL STICK
Giving City Managers Control Of Mu-
inequalities Has Worked Well, and
Idea Is Spreading.

Some forty places In our country,
ranging from Ashtabula to st. Angus
tine, are run by city managers. This
means that our everlasting American
problem Of municipal government is
now being tackled successfully by call
ing into action one Of the oldest of hui
man traits; that joy of achievement
that thrilled In Tubal Gains heart
when he hung up the first piece Of good
iron work, banked his forging fire, and
went home to get something to eat.
Running city is not business In the
baser sense of somehow (anyhow) max
ing money, but 1t is business in the
better sense of getting important things
well done, remarks Golfers.
The city manager has a free hand
and job Of his own. He therefore can
buy things cheaper, hire and keep more
capable men, and help them turn out
results. The citizens Cor shareholders)
can see what he is accomplishing in
the visible condition of the public prop
erty such as streets, sewers, parks,
etc.; can check the accomplishment
against the costs, as kept in accurate
accounts and revealed in clear and
brief reports. Then they can back him
up or get him fired as need is. The
politicians cannot undermine the active
civic power by dividing responsibility,
creating independent offices and con-
fused Jurisdictions, but must either
keep their hands off or else buck the
task of firing the head Of the town.
American common sense has assert
ed itself, and the new method will

The bodice Is made with short pep
lum and could hardly be more simply
draped. The sleeves suggest scarf
thrown over the arms, and are wide
at the wrists. They are altogether
as irresponsible as to shape as the
wide girdle of beads is to its duty,
which Is to confine the waistline. The
waistline is ornamented but not re-
stricted, and the model may therefore
hold its own in point of style with
the latest of gowns "a la chemise."
Nothing in the way of hat could
look better with this dress than the
filmy model which supplements it. 1t
is a sailor Of guileless simplicity and
has transparent brim of crepe and
crown of ribbon. There is youthful
rosette-bow of ribbon at the front of
the crown with fishtail ends Of ribbon
resting on the very unsubstantial sup
port furnished by the crepe brim.
This is costume for the young maid

ProClaiming the Slender Silhouette

Here is a simple but quite original
evening or dinner dress worn by one
of the pretty young women who helped
to make "The Boomerang" so great a
success. 1t almost goes without say
Ing that play presented by Belasco
will be correctly staged in every par
ticular, and that no detail of costum-
ing will be sighted. This gown is
among the earliest that proclaimed the
return of the slender silhouette. 1t
appears to have bowed to the inevi-
table, but with much reserve.
The dress is made of crepe geor-
gette with plain underslyirt trimmed
with bands of silver spangles, gradu-
ated in width. Although 1t consents
to be long enough to reach the instep,
it refuses to conceal the ankles and
merely wells them. This is an alluring
bit of coquetry, for you just glimpse
them one minute, and the next--you
don't. A forerunner Of the long tunic
appears in the drapery that falls over
the underskirt.
