TO TAKE RIFLE INSTRUCTION
Captain Snyder Explains Weapon tc
Department Commanders.


The work OF training Washington's
policemen to handle rifles for the pro
lection of the city in the event of
war was begun today when Capt
Oliver F. Snyder, U. S. A, lectured to
the captains, lieutenants and inspec-
tors of the department in Major Pull
mans office.
Following the lecture, which dealt
with the rifle, Captain Snyder took
the officers to the shooting range un-
der Polls Theater and demonstrated
his lesson.
The police will not carry loaded
rifles through the streets, Major
Pullman stated. The plan is to make
them proficient marksmen, but to
keep the rifles in racks in the station
houses for use only to quell disorders
that might follow a declaration of
war.
After they have been taught to
handle the rifle the bluecoats will be
taken in detachments to the Eastern
Market armory regularly, where they
will practice, using full charge am
munition. After a period spent at
the market armory. they will go to
the Congress Heights range OF the
District national guard for the COM
pletion Of their course.
Every employe OF the department.
from telephone operators to the chief
of detectives, must take the course.
Major Pullman received a thorough
training in rifle work as a captain in
the high school cadets.
A requisition for 100 rifles and eS.-
600 rounds Of ammunition to start the
plan was forwarded to the War De-
partment by Major Pullman today.

submarines have, in fact. in accordance
with this declaration ruthlessly sunk
merchant vessels and jeopardized or de-
stroyed the lives OF American citizens
on board.
Moreover, since the severance Of
relations between the United States
and Germany certain American citi-
zens in Germany have been prevented
from removing freely from the coun-
try.
"while this is not q violation of
the terms of the treaties mentioned,
II is a disregard of the reciprocal
liberty OF intercourse between the
two countries in time OF peace, and
cannot be taken otherwise than as an
indication of a purpose on the part
of the German government to disre-
gard in the event OF war the similar
liberty of actiou provided for In ar
ticle twenty-three of the Treaty OF
1799-the very article which 1t is
now proposed to interpret and sup
plement almost wholly in the inter
est OF the large number OF German
subjects residing in the United States
and enjoying in their persons or
property the protection of the United
States Government
What IL Asked Now.
This article provides, in effect, that
merchants of either country residing
in the other shall be allowed a stated
time in which to remain to settle.
their affairs and to depart freely, car
rying all OF their effects without mo
lestation or hindrance,' and women
and children, artisans, and certain
others may continue their respective
employments and shall not be mo-
Tested In their persons or property.
"It is now proposed by the imperial
German government to enlarge the
scope of this article SO as to grant to
German subjects and German prop
erty remaining in the United States
in time of war the same treatment in
many respects as that enjoyed by
neutral subjects and neutral property
in the United States"

AWAIT TIN CAN VERDICT
Housewives Eager to Know If Re.
eeptacIes Can Be Used Over Again.

Every housewife in Washington is
anxious to know whether to save tin
cans or not.
Just as soon as Richard B. Watrous
of the American Civic Association
finds out from the experts who are
taking up the question of making use
OF old cans, how much chey will be
worth, and whether or not they are
available, the word will go forth.
Ever since the publication of the
news of the shortage in tin cans be-
ing faced by the packers the telephone
dedicated TO answering queries at The
Times office has been deluged with
Yerification Of the rumor that old tin
cans are to be utilized.
The fact that $500. 100000 little re-
positories will be needed for fruits
and vegetables was received with de-
light by housewives. housekeepers
and the American Civic Association.
A definite statement as to the price

the cans, together with plans for
their collection. will be issued by Mr..

ing the $4,000 troops necessary to
man all the ships of the navy.

peal to 1900 editors in the United

lating navy recruiting. Secretary

Positive action-to thwart plots to

Proof of the existence Of these

presence Of central power ships in

are 106 such vessels In American
ports. Department of Justice agents
and Secret Service men have uncov-

have been made In q number Of in

one may have a neat toque crocheted
