WOMAN JURORS
URGED AS MAYOR
F'ALEXANDRIA

Miss Cora Duffy, the first and only
woman in Virginia ever to sit on a
jury, today Is contemplating the pos
sibilities OF obtaining further honors
at the hands OF her townsfolk in
Alexandria. A suggestion by an un-
identified admirer that she may be
the next mayor of Alexandria is re-
sponsible.
While Miss Duffy has taken the
suggestion as a joke, apparently her
friends do not consider It in this
light and several have suggested that
in the next election her name will be
presented, with or without her
consent They point to her record
as deputy clerk OF the circuit and
corporation courts as excellent ma
terial for a platform, to say nothing
OF her fame as the Old Dominion's

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR,
TIERS, France, Nov. 13.-All Amsri-

French army were today formally
commissioned officers in the United
States army aviation service. The IA
nous Lafayette Escadrille OF hmeri-
cans was included.
Some of the new American flyers
will continue temporarily with. their
present commands and under French
direction until they are called upon
for active service with the American
expeditionary forces. A great many
airmen, however, will join the Ameri-
can colors at once.
The transfer of this big body Of
aerial fighters gives the United states
a nucleus of veterans of the air which
will be of incalculable advantage
when the American forces get into
action.

ARMY AND NAVY
AMPL YHOTHED;
KMTTERS TOLD

by the quartermaster department, but
the following explanation is made by
an officer of that department:
THE quarteramster corps assured
Secretary Baker that there would be
sufficient clothing to supply the hrst
draft OF the national army september
l. When this promise was made II
was planned to send one division i'm
mediately to France. Later 1T was
decided to send several divisions to
France. These troops were sent,
each man taking a six months supply
of0Hlothing.
Mn addition to the divisions OF
fighting troops (the exact number Of
which is withheld). twelve hospital
units and ten engineer regiments were
sent to France. All these men carried
six months clothing supply.
THE quartermaster corps could not
supply these troops sent to France
and fully supply all national army
units as they were called out, but
the shortage of clothing Of the men
in camp is steadily diminishing and
will be fully taken care of before
extreme cold weather"
All Sailors Amply Clothed.
The navy insists that every man
sent with the fleet has been given
his full supply OF clothing.
Army and navy officials believed
they should ss the public straight on
the clothing question because the i'm
preston has gone abroad that the
Government is unable to supply the
soldiers and sailors with necessary
wearing apparel
They praised the spirit OF patriotic
women who are knitting garments
for the men in the fighting ranks, and
appreciate that the men would rather
have hand knit garments than the
serviceabIe garments Of the army and
navy clothing allowance, but they
insisted with greatest emphasis that
the soldiers and sailors are going to
be warmly clad while they fight the
Germans, whether they receive knit
ted sweater or not.
