POLICE and fIREMEN j
PUT ON war FOOTING
Are Ready for Any Emergency. Say
Heads of Departments.

As the clouds Of war have gathered over
the United States and the government
has been quietly preparing to meet the
emergency. the local police and fire de-
partment heads have been actively en-
Gagged In putting their forces In such per-
rect working condition as to be ready at
a moments notice to protect government
and District property and lives should
the necessity arise.
While MAJ Pullman, superintendent OF
police. refuses to give in detail the plans
OF the department in the event OF war.
ne readily admitted yesterday afternoon
that In the event of trouble his depart
ment was prepared to act at moments
notice. He stated that all the men In
the department were subject to emerg-
ency call and implied that special pro-
tective moves had been made for safe
guarding the lives OF public men and pro-
tecting public buildings.
Chief Wagner, of tho fire department,
stated that he had made special pro-
viston to care for the safety Of the Ma
tional Capital in the event Of trouble.
The police detail armed with As caliber
revolvers and with their gattling gun
would make a formidable showing against
any attempt at a local uprising on the
acts OF spies or traitors. That the men
are, for the most part, good shots. is
borne out by their records In the shoot
ing events which have been introduced
by Maj. Pullman.

Pupils Don't Like History;
Read Newspapers Instead

The study of history has gene out of
fashion.
Glaring newspaper reports. rich in cur
rent history, which appears with unfail-
ing regularity. seem to have taken the
edge Off of the students appetite for the
hoary-aged facts.
At least Principal Emory Wilson has
just announced that such is the case at
the new Central High School.
Though 800 people have just entered the
school, there have been no new history
classes formed Instead. 1t was found
necessary to drop two of the seventeen
classes already in session.
Competition of such bread and butter
subjects as sewing and manual training
and an increased interest in physical
geography are said to have been the
cause of the decline

GERMANY WILL
ENCOURAGE PEACE
Newspapers Say Wilson Will
Be Urged TO Complete
His Efforts

London, Jan. 81. The German
newspapers, according to a Rotterdam
dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
Comapny, intimate that Germany will
acknowledge President Wilson'S
speech in such way as to encourage
the President to continue his efforts
in favor of peace.
According to the dispatch Count
Won Bernstorff has been instructed to
say that Germany is ready to formt-
late peace terms If asked to do so by
the allies and if there is a possibility
of peace negotiations being success
fully undertaken. The dispatch adds
that Austria has sent a similar COM
munication to the Austrian charge
d'affairs at Washington and that it is
believed Bulgaria will follow the ex-
ample of the Teutonic powers.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 31.-Con-
gressional action at this session on
raised by President Wilson's
likely to-day as a result of the Sem
ate's tabling yesterday Senator Cum
Minis motion to set aside a definite
time for debate on the subject. The
vote was 3S to 80 and Democrats
demonstrated their ability to stand
together to prevent a general discus
sion which their leaders believed
would be without result and would
only delay the legislative program.
There are, however, three other
resolutions touching on the Presidents
peace plan still before the Senate and
Republican Senators have announced
their intention to address that body
on the subject.
