~ NERSHADOWING everything else
q M in the capital this week was Prosi-
dent Wilson's reply to the Hun
peace move-so much so that
the most interesting debate in either
House OF Congress during the week was on
the wisdom of the Presidents answer. The
debate in the Senate reflected most accu-
rately the opinions being expressed in pr-
vate conversations by men from all over
the country
Perhaps the most important point growing
out of the whole situation is this difference
in the reactions to the Presidents speech.
Some officials liked it and some didn't but
there was no difference in the underlying
motives and reasonings OF those who did

PUSH TWO BILLS

Two bills will be urged in Con-
gress with the backing of the Ma
tionaI Federation OF Federal En-
ploFees after the holidays.
One bill will provide for the re-
movaI Of all restrictions on interde-
partmental transfers.
The other will provide for voca-

Government employees. hold that
the law Of 1917 forbidding transfers
at higher salary or with promotion in
less than one year has been aggra-
waited since the war began by de-
partmental rulings which. in the
Navy and Interior Departments, are
virtually blacklist orders. The re-
suit has been that experienced Gov
eminent employees have had to take
lower pay than new and ineXperi-
enced ones. The federation protests
against the injustice to the expert
enced employees. 1t demands re-

some similar pursuit. The New York
police today admitted they have I'm
der arrest the notorious swindler
who has stolen thousands OF dollars
by means of forged travellers checks
on a Canadian bank.
His arrest establishes without
question the innocence of Alexander
p. MacAuley, arrested after one OF
Billy's escapades two years ago, and
who spent a fortune in trying to
clear himself of the charge that he
was the famous crook. MacAuley a
Toronto banker. was arrested in
New York while the police were
searching for the Christmas swind-
Ter, and he was positively identified
as Billy Christmas.
MacAuley's release followed a re-

j. S. FLYERS DOWN
045FOES IN WAR

sAmerican aviators downed s45 en-
envy planes during the war. of which
491 were confirmed and 354 were not,
according to information reaching the
War Department today,
Major General Harboard, in a ca
Bile to the director of the air. service,
thus summarized the work of United
States flyers and the scope OF the
operations of the air. service .
On the day the armistice was sign
ed-thirty- nine American aero squad
rols were in operation on the west
front
Compared with the enemy's loss,
2T1 American planes were brought
down. -
Casualties suffered by the air serv-
ice total Az. OF those, 100 were
killed, 103 wounded, 200 missing, %
prisohers,and. interned. This was
considered low in view OF the fact
that there were 24.512 men of the
service on the actual front. The to-
tai air strength in France was S.
900 men, including those brjgaded
with the French, English, and Ital-
ians.
The report shows that GAP planes
were received by the A. Z. T. from
September, 1917, to November, 1918.
Eight different schools of instruc-
ton were established in France, de-
signed to train 3.S00. officers and

ACETATE FOR new
TRIAL FOR MOONEY

Agitation for new trial for
Thomas J. Mooney. the convicted labor
leader, was resumed in Washington
today, following a meeting yesterday
at the old Masonic Temple in which.
resolutions demanding American
justice" for Mooney were adopted.
Washington will send delegates TO
the nationwide conference, to be held
in Chicago January IA, to plan ways
and means for gaining a new trial for
the imprisoned unionist. About $500
was raised yesterday to aid in carry
ing on the fight for a new trial.
Carl Beck, a member of the Typo
graphical Union of New York city, de-
clared that the communication OF
Moneys sentence from death to lie
Imprisonment is a tacit admission
that Mooney was convicted on falsiticd
testimony. He further stated that a
failure to give him a fair trial would
constitute such an outstanding flaw
in American Justice that the national
unity would be impaired.
Beck charged that the big inter-
ests" in San Francisco raised q nil
lion dollars to crush the organized
labor movement on the Pacific coast.
Charles Kruse, formerly of San
Francisco, stated that an attempt TO
frame" Mooney was made four years
ago by his present prosecutors, but
without success.
The delegates to the Chicago con-
ference will be elected tonight at the
regular meeting of the Central Labor
Union.

FOR $4,000 DRIVE
"shaIl They Plead In vain?"

snail They Ilead In vain!
This inscription on hundreds of
posters is muteIy asking Washing
tonians to contribute. and contribute
generously, to the fund for the re-
lief of stricken Jewish sufferers in
the war zone.
The Washington executive commit
tee of the American Jewish relief
committee decided, at nesting held
yesterday at the Town and Country
Club, that washington's quota of
SEQ, 900 should be raised without re-
sorting to the time-worn device of a
ttag-day. An intensive drive for dol
lars begins in this city on the day
after Christmas, and will continue
until December 80.
The posters which are being placed
all over the city today, were design
ed by Lou Mayer. They display an
emaciated woman with her stricken
child in the des6late ruins of the
war-zone and bear the above inscrip-
ton. Some appropriate feature, as
yet undetermined. is too be substi-
tuted for the tag day drive.
Stirring appeals for donations to
this cause were made in many
churches of the city yesterday. At
the seven masses held in st. Aloysius
Catholic Church yesterday appeals
were made from the pulpit urging
generous aid to the Hebrew relief
drive.
THE Jews have always shown
generous spirit toward our causes,
said the Rev. Paul r. Commit, S. j..
rector OF st. Aloysius'. Let us re-
ciphocate to the fullest extent OF our
YaUers. LET ms aid the Jews in this
collection as generously as our means
Will permit"

Editorial

About this time Of each year we
get a tremendous longing to
be a skid" again. We'd like
to be about six or seven years
old and back In our Western
home.
Ny, how grand it would be to
have mother tuck us in our
beds and warn US that Santa
would surely pass us by If we
were not good.
No worries about getting gifts
for this and that person and
wondering If they will be ap-
preciated, or at least ac-
cepted.
Just trusting in Santa Claus
and knowing that when we
wake up Christmas morning
our stockings will be full, the
tree will be trimmed and a
big, roaring fire in the fire
place:
Gee! If we could only 90 back
to those days. But we can't,
so let's make the kids Of to-
day as happy as we can.

MAY CHANGE STYLE
TO SAVE JAVELINS

CHICAGO. Nov. G-Reyision Of the
present style OF construction OF the
standard javelin. used in all cham
pionship games. will be proposed at
the annual meeting Of National 4. A
U. at Philadelphia on November IS by
Martin A. Delaney. physical director
OF the Chicago Athletic Association,
an authority on the subject
The steel nose on the javelin as
now constructed is easily broken, and
Delaney will submit a design OF his
own for adoption. His plan Is to eX-
tend the steel covering a few inches
up the pole from the metal tip. This
brace, he believes. will prevent the
loss Of many javelins. the wood for
which is more difficult to obtain as
the better grade of wood is in sharp
demand for airplane building.
The present jsvelin is entirely too
frail and too easily broken Mr.. De-
laney said. Sometimes as many as
three or four are broken in practice
trials l am convinced my design
will stop this waste"

4OOIDdu IOT LQe year was aDOllSneQ.
According to the adopted policy of
the board this will limit the schools
30 participation in games with the
private and preparatory schools in
Washington, the various athletic
clubs and camp teams and to the in
ter-high school contests.
The principals have construed the
injunction to mean that out OF town
schools are not to be encouraged with
games here.
This is taken to mean that such
Institutions as Tome, Baltimore City
conSge, Gilman Country School, the
University Of Virginia Freshmen.
Episcopal High School and others will
lreceive no contracts for baseball,
basketball, tennis or track dates, and,
IL the war is still going by spring.
will limit the track activities of the
schools to meets in Washington only.

principals made at q meeting earlier

The principals, it is understood,
went on rec0Ed as favoring informal
football. InDamuraI football in the
schools and the teaching of football
rudiments en- masse was favored by
.ths principals. 1t was decided. in
view of the shortness of the season
and the fact that the boys had been
released from the sport for more
than a month that it would be mad
sfTable TO start the sport for competi-
tive purposes.
Schedule LenEtheDed.
The high school basketball sched-
ule was heightened. The original
schedule called for twenty games,
starting in the first week OF January
and continuing until mid-February.
According to the revision the teams

play double headers every Friday un-
tail the middle OF February.

Much Fuss Is Stirred
Over Remaining Those
Big German Shepherds

Much fuss is being raised about
q new name for the German
shepherd dog. or the German po-
lice dog. The kennel club has
ruled that the German part OF the
name must be eliminated. Now
they want to call the breed the
shepherd dog. 10 which 1t has not
as much claim as the collie and
the deerhound and several other
breeds OF dogs. 1t was used al
most exclusively for police work
before the war.
At any rate. il Is learned that
the dog came originally from Al
SAGE, so why not call him Alsa-
tIan? That surely would be pref
cradle to sheepdog.
