Speakers at Kiwanis Club Luncheon
Talk of Their Business.

Carrying a line of spiritual goods, 8"
II the occupation of Rev. H. H. d. Ster-
rett, as outlined before the members
Of the Kiwanis Club, at the regular
weekly luncheon held yesterday. at
the Cochran Hotel A ruling of the
club makes It obligatory upon the
speakers to boost their particular line
and as a pastor he made his speech
a sermon.
In an interesting manner the Rev.
Sterrett traced the influence Of the
church back to our God-fearing and
church-going ancestors. He cited
the fact that today there were thou
sands of people who never attended
church, yet to all intents their ac-
tons were based on the principles of
Christianity This fact is due largely
to the well-sown influence of our force
fathers who always looked upon Sun
day as a day Of worship. DR.. Ster-
rett also cautioned against the mod
ern method which makes the Sabbath
a day for pleasure rather than wor-
ship. That posterity would lose that
refining influence which comes to US
through our church-going ancestors,
is a foregone conclusion unless the
people of today give the same atten-
ton to their church as has been given
in the past.
E. c. Rogers, business manager of
The Washington Herald, was the other
speaker on the program at the lunch
con. His talk was devoted to The
Herald and other newspapers.
The club adopted a resolution of
thanks and esteem to ]. 1. Hoffman,
retiring secretary Of the club, who
Is moving from Washington.

Poor Mr.. Hohenzollern!
Designers Blame Him
For ''Nipped-in" Coats

New York. July 25.-The wars

that in ones pocketbook. If the
representatives Of the tailoring
trade now holding the style show
at the Breslin Hotel have their
way some members of society, who
are heavily weighted with wealth
as well as with a superabundancy
Of avoirdupois at the waist line,
are going to feel the pinch of
nipped-in-waists constructing infiu-
ence of the latest cut war-style
trousers.
And all this because the Kaiser
desires to continue the fight. The
Kaiser's influence on tight pants

thought and concentration will
doubtless bring to mind the short
age of wooHthis is. too short to

FIRST DISTRICT QUOTA.
To BE EXAMINED SOON
Physical Tests Will Be Finished in
Ten DAYS.

Before another ten days everybody
IN the District called in the first
quota of the draft army will have
had his physical examination and an
opportunity to file his claim for ex-
emption with the District boards.
Five Of the eleven exemption boards
IN the District had mailed out their
notices to recruits to appear for a
Physical examination last night. The
other boards will have their notifi-
cations In the mail today.
So many have left their original
registration address since they were
enlisted and are now in Washington,
that Gen Donovan has issued these
instructions for those who for finan-
cial or other reasons are not able
TO report to their District exemption
boards:
Those drawn may have their ply
steal examination and file their claim
Tor exemption with boards in the
District Of Columbia. provided they
apply to the county clerk or chief
registration officer in their registra-
ton district, certifying that 1t is in
convenient and embarrassing for them
to appear before their local board
and requesting a transfer to the Dis
trtct OF Columbia.
Such transfer application should
be accompanied by an AFFIDAVIT or
certiication from their employer that
their absence would constitute an in
convenience and approving the plan
for examination in Washington.
such transfer, even II granted,
would not take away from the ex-
emption board in the original regis
tration district the right to deter
mine whether a recruit should be ex-
empted, even though a District Of
Columbia exemption board should de-
eide that he was subject to and en-
titled to exemption"
To emphasize the seriousness of
evading a summons for examination
for the draft army. the office Of the
Provost Marshal General cited yes
terday that delinquents will be treated
in the same manner as deserters from
the army. The maximum penalty for
such avoidance of summons is death.
In the treatment of District en-
ployes. department heads will give
exemption claims to the registrants
as though they were employees of a
separate municipality. While the
District of Columbia is considered a
part of the government in some laws,
for the Interpretation Of the draft
law II is a separate city and employees
exempted must furnish the same rea-
sons for exemptions as those in cities
and distinct from government en-
ployes.

SUFFS Begin WORK
ON CAPITOL Hill
Say President Wilson Can Swing
Vote Their WAY.

Efforts of the militant SUITS" will
be directed towards Congress now that
they believe they have established
their right to picket the White House.
A small army Of lobbyists descended
upon the House and Senate ONCE
Buildings yesterday and button-holed
members of Congress, endeavoring to
win them over to the speedy en-
actment OF the Susan B. Anthony
amendment.
At the same time the suffragists
presented the poll OF members of
Congress taken by ]. A. H. Hopkins,
National Committeeman of the Pro-
gressive party in New Jersey to the
President.
This poll shows, according to Miss
Anne Martin, vice chairman of the
National Woman's party. that near
ly two-thirds of the Republican and
one-third of the Democratic members
Of the lower branch are committed
to the votes for women legislation.
More than one-half of the Senate
and nearly one-half of the House are
committed to the amendment accord
ing to their poll.
A constitutional amendment requires
a two-thirds vote of those present
and voting and the "suffs" maintain
this can be easily secured IL the
President will give the word that will
win over many Southern Democrats.
Meanwhile picketing Of the White
House will continue. 1t was carried
on for a time yesterday without any
demonstrations or difficulty with the
police. There will be no picketing Of
the grounds adjacent to the Capitol.
The official statement issued by the
women says In part:
I'VE know with certainty that
Democratic members Of Congress, par
ticularly Southern members. would
vote for the amendment II President
Wilson advised them to do so. Men,
Der after member of Congress when
approached by our lobbyists. says
frankly, We are waiting to hear
from the President or IF the Presi-
dent makes suffrage a part of this
war program, of course we will vote
for it Mr.. Webb, Democrat, and
chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee, which has charge of the Fed
eral suffrage amendment in the
House, said in a recent letter to Mr..
Hopkins that his committee would
report the amendment whenever the
President requested Senator Jones,
chairman of the Woman Suffrage
Committee in the Senate, although au-
thorized by a unanimous vote of his
committee to report the suffrage
amendment at once. hesitates to make
this report until the action is ac-
centahle to the President.
