Unable to Get Rooms, New
comers to City Camp
at Depot.

Charging that as many as twenty
young girls at one time have been
known to sleep on the benches of
Union Station on account Of lack of
rooms. the Central Citizens Asso-
citation last night at the North Capt.
tol Savings Bank went on record as
favoring plan for taking care of
the young women who are brought
here for service with the govern
ment and who have to shift for
themselves the first night Of their
arrival.
After listening to several speak
ers who had disclosed startling con-
ditions in this respect. President
Martin ]. Mcnamara, of the asso-
citation. suggested that the local
press call upon residents of the
North Capitol district to send him
a list of rooms available.

members of the association, in q po-
sition to know the facts, vouched
for the statement that large num-
bers of girls reach this city late at
nlBnt ana are compeileu 10 sIeep
on benches in Union Station.
The association also went on record
as opposing the bill introduced in
Congress by Senator Chamberlain
providing for the construction Of a
spur track from the main line to the
government warehouses on First
street northeast, between L and NJ
northeast, contending that under the
guise Of war measure, private In
terests are seeking to get hold Of
something they could not get under
normal conditions.
1t was pointed out that the scheme
Is to extend the spur track through
to the vacant ground on North Capitol
and L streets for the spurpose of
erecting warehouses there also, and
that several attempts have been made
to accomplish this but have been
frustrated.

Observance Of Sabbath
Ordered by President

The President last night enjoined
strict observance of the Sabbath
by, the army and navy.
In a formal proclamation issued
from the White House, the Presi-
dent said:
"The President, Commander-in-
Chief Of the army and navy, fol-
lowing the reverent example Of his
predecessors, desires and enJoins
the orderly observance Of the Sab
bath by the officers and men in
the military and naval service of
the United States. The Importance
for man and beast, of the prescrib-
ed weekly rest, the sacred rights
of Christian soldiers and sailors,
q becoming difference to the best
sentiment of a Christian people.
and q due regard for the Divine
Will, demand that Sunday labor in
the army and navy be reduced to
the measure Of strict necessity.
Such an observance OF Sunday is
dictated by the best traditions of
our people and by the convictions
of all who look to Divine Provi-
dence for guidance. and protection,
and, in repeating in this order the
language of President Lincoln, the
President Is confident that he is
speaking alike to the hearts and
to the consciences of those under
his authority.

CABINET TAKES
UP CUDGELS IN
SELF-DEFENSE
Administration Officials Re
sent Chamberlain S IneG-
cheney" Characterization.

Not only President Wilson, but
the members of his Cabinet, yester-
day took up the gauntlet thrown
down by Senator Chamberlain and
other critics of the war work.
Stung to the quick by the speech
of Senator Chamberlain. members
of the Cabinet consented for the
first time to discuss the situation.
One head of a department launched
into a full and frank discussion Of
the whole situation with newspaper
men. He refuses to permit his
name to be used in connection with
what he has to say. but an outline
of his remarks, at times bitter. may
be given.
Lack Of ships, he declares, Is stiIl
the great hinderance to Americas
participation in the war. Other
wise. he declares, the war prepara-
tions have been more than adequate.
The proposal to create a war cabinet
would not replace the department
heads who have been criticised-Dan-
iels and Baker. he contends. 1t would
replace the President himself.
"And," he added, "the people hap
pened to elect him last November for
four years"
The President. he declares, Is In
close touch with every phase Of the
war, from the decisions OF Lloyd
George and Clemenceau to important
decisions In all bureaus Of the war,
navy and other departments.
Just Another Cog.
The members of this proposed
l.
circumstances step into the War or
Navy Departments and perform in
the requisite time the work of
Daniels and his bureau chiefs or
Baker and his bureau chiefs. They
would have to direct the heads of
the War and Navy Departments to
miL5d upon
sertion of another cog In the ma
chine. Unless the new cabinet is
to take over the job the President
is doing now.
The trouble with the advocates
of this scheme is that they are not
satisfied with the work OF a good
man. II one person could do all
the things they would want him
to do. he would not be a man, be
would not be even a superman; he
would be a god.
You must remember" said he,
that the United States is not run
ming this war. She is only a Junior
partner. Nothing big can be done
without the approval of the allies"
Baker and Daniels" he said, "see
the President and talk with him more
than is known. 1t Is a mistake to say
that the President Is not in just as
close touch with all angles of the
problem as any one man can be. The
two departments are in constant touch
over private telephone wires with the
President"

It has been discovered from a po-

American Zionists to get permits
sion to send an American Jewish
Commission to Palestine, were Tin
successful. The official bodies in
Washington have decided that this
was not desirable, because Ameri-
ca is not at war with Turkey-and
perhaps they did not think it abso-
lutely necessary: as it is known,
the English Zionists are sending a
special Jewish commission, and
therefore what would be the need
for another Jewish commission?
