time arrives to discuss peace.
Following a long conference with
the President, in which Mr.. Wilson
was informed that Congress probably
could adjourn by September 1, Sena-
tor Lewis said:
II do not quote the President. but do
say for myself that when the true signs
Of peace, based on principles for which
America went into this war. shall ap-
pear. the President will be the first 10
treat with them; but when they shall
come disguised as peace-only to
serve the further cruelties Of war-and
the betrayal Of America, Woodrow Will
son will be the last to be caught
The country will hear from the Presl-
dent on peace or war Just as soon rs
truth, or any new actual conditions call
for him to take Congress and the people
into his confidence He will allow the
American people to lose no rights or

OF OFFICE HELP
ACUTE ENCAPITAl

Washington faces q shortage OF
office help. and the problem OF OBJ
tanning workers Is growing more and
more acute. employers declare. Even
office boys are scarce. though sub
stantial raises In salary are being
offered.
The chief classes of workers who
are difficult to get are laborers.

boys, walters. craftsmen, engineers.
and iremen. The munition factories.
and the war work OF the Government
are creating the shortage, IL Is b.

p Real estate Offices and automobile
salesrooms are chiefly affected. Mere

HORN|NG PAWN|NG
SYSTEM TO co TO
HIGHER COURTS

Determined to get a ruling OF the
higher courts on the legality Of car
rying patrons into Virginia free OF
charge in order to loan them money.
the corporation counsers office has
for the third time summoned George
D. Horning. pawnbroker, into the Po-
lice Court, whence It is probable the
case will be carried to the District
Court OF Appeals.
Hornlng Rad a loan office in this
city prior to February 4. 1918, on
which date Congress approved a law
forbidding loans at a rate exceeding
/ per cent a month. Since that date
he has had an office at the Virginia
end of the Long bridge, where the
money and collateral actually changed
hands. but he maintains a free motor
service for customers between that
place and another office at Ninth and
D streets northwest.
The corporation counsel argued In
two former cases that this consti-
tuted a violation OF the intent of the
law. but on each occasion Horning ar
gued successfully that as no loans
were made or even contracted for in
the District Of Columbia he could not
be held as violating the statute.
Conrad H. Syme, corporation coun-
sci. said today that a new line of ar
gument would be followed by the
Government in the next prosecution,
but would not say what II would be-
The prosecution will be under the d.
rection OF Percy Marshall, assistant
corporation counsel, who will be as
sociated with Ringgold Hart, assist
ant corporation counsel at police
court. Mr.. Marshall is now away on
his vacation, and the case probably
will not be called until about Septem.
Der l. In the meantime HorninE,
who was arrested yesterday. has been
released on his personal bond to ap-
pear when wanted for trial.
