ON light Diet
Refuse to Eat Meat and Thus Aid
Food Administration.

Patrons Of the Willard. in accord
ance with the latest request of the
food administration, denied themselves
entirely Of meat yesterday. By exer-
cising self-denial they managed to
exc out the day on a light diet COM
posed of such trifies as crab ravi-
gotte, SQUAD en- casserole, and ragout
Of green turtle. Some ardently pa
triotic guests even confined themselves
to plain chicken pie.
The Willard has recently attached
to its menus a notice reminding pa
irons that the food administration has
requested that a meatless Tuesday
and a wheatless Wednesday be OBJ
served each week. and stating that
the cooperation of guests in carrying
out the program will be appreciated
According to the management, no
meat was served yesterday. nor was
there any order for this luxury. Pa
irons seemed quite willing to limit
themselves to the twenty-Cdd varieties
of fish and fowl listed on the menu.
Other hotels. including the New Eb-
bitt and Occidental, are also Coop

ministration by requesting that guests

The youngest and most versatile
comedian in burlesque-such Is the dis
tinctiOn attached to the name OF
Cliff Bragdon. Twenty-four years Of
age, he has spent twenty-one OF his
years on the stage.
As one of the original Five Brag-
dons," famous several years ago for
their versatility, he was carried upon
the stage in a valise at the age of
4 years. Even then he was known
as very clever juvenile.
Drifting, years later. from vaude-
vile for a while. he Joined a COM
pany on the Pacific Coast, where he
played the role of a girl in the first
act and that of an Irish comedian
in the third act.
He married when he was IS, and
now is the proud papa" Of 5-year-
old girl.
Cliff Bragdon plays various instru-
ments and. as he demonstrates dur
ing the course of his performance
this week at the Gayety Theater, his
talents range from those OF an aero
bat to that of a clever comedian.
Strange for an actor, Mr.. Bragdon's 8
hobby is chicken farming. Honest
to-goodness chickens are the only type
he raises on his large place at Min
cola.
This is his first season in burlesque
and the measure OF his success is best
sauged by the uproarious reception he
receives daily as the principal come
dian in the 'Million-Dollar Dolls"

LANSING and BRYAN
in LA Toilette QUIZ
State Department, Is Asked for
1usitania Data.

Cooperation of the State Depart
ment has been asked by the sub
committee which will investigate Sem
ator La Follette's recent speech at
st. Paul. In the speech, the Senator
is reported to have said this country
entered the war on a technically"
His allusion was to the right OF
Americans to travel on board the
Lusitania, which he also said was
loaded with munitions.
The subcommittee has asked the
State Department to let the investi-
eating body have all the facts touch
ing on the sinking of the Lusitania,
especially with regard to the state
ment that she carried munitions as
part OF her cargo. Senator Pomerene
made the arrangement with Secre-
tary of State Lansing yesterday.
Mr.. Pomerene also wrote to Former
SECRETARY of State Bryan in connec-
ton with the statement made by Sem
ator La Toilette that Mr.. Bryan told
President Wilson that the sailing of
the Lusitania should be delayed be-
cause she carried munitions. 1t is
expected that Mr.. Bryan will reply
with a detailed statement.
No statement was made by Senator
La Toilette yesterday. He was in his
office seeing visitors and inspecting
his mail. He expects that copies Of
his speech at st. Paul will be re-
ceived today. The Minnesota Public
Safety Commission which brought the
original charges against Mr.. La Fol-
lette notified Senator Pomerene yes
terday that it had mailed three tran
scripts Of the speech. each made by
a different stenographer. 1t is upon
these copies of the speech, together
with the transcripts Senator La Fol-
lette will supply, that the committee
will begin its work tomorrow.

gradually grew worse. Finally !

A, as first class privates, with pos
sibility Of rapid promotion in grade
and pay and ultimately to commits
sions when they show special fitness.
Since the commissioning of civilians
in the aviation section has been stop
ped the only way to get a commits
sion is by enlistment.
The Marine School for officers at
Quantico, Va, on October Is will gra-
duate a class of 2SS students officers,

Announcement is made of the COM
pletion by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, of Philadelphia, of the first
specially designed locomotive and box
car for use in the European war
zone. The engine was completed in
twenty working days, the order be-
ing filed on July IS and the finished
locomotive tested on August 9. This
was in spite of the fact that the de-
sign was entirely new and contained
the complicated "superheating' ma
chinery. The locomotive is not SO
powerful as the type commonly. used
on American railroads. 1t weighs
166, 800 pounds without the tender and
has a driving wheel base of fifteen
drivers. The tender has a tank ca
pacity of 500 gallons and a fuel ca
pacity of nine tons. The entire out
fit is painted the battleship gray and
bears the insignia "U. s. A. No l."
The cars are of the open type with
an inside length Of thirty-six feet
and are to be fitted with removable
tarpaulin covers so that the contents
may be protected from inclement
weather. Coupling equipment is the
same as on French lines, making COM
plete interchangeability possible. Con-
tracts have been signed for an addi-
tional number Of these locomotives and
for cars for the use of the army.
1t Is held by the War Department
that the act of May IS authorizes the
appointment of ordnance sergeants to
additional forces, SO that the difficulty
encountered in securing such sergeantt
with the requisite service for appoint
ment in the regular army may be
overcome.

The one objection offered to the es-
tablishment of a county tuberculosis
