CHAMBERLAIN
INSPIRES new
WAR SERVICE
Red Cross to Establish In.
formation Bureaus at
All Cantonments.

Red Cross officials will take up the
question Of establishing an informa-
ton service in American cantonments
to keep relatives Of sick soldiers in
formed Of their condition. according
to W. r. Castle. director of the Red
Cross bureau Of information, last
night.
The action comes as a direct result
Of Senator Chamberlain's speech in the
Senate on Thursday. in which he dis
closed conditions of almost unbelieve-
able neglect in cantonment hospitals.
Senator Chamberlain's speech was
an eye-opener to me-" Mr.. Castel said.
1T had never occurred to US that
full information was not being fur
nished to the families OF sick men
by the medical authorities Of the
War Department In France one
could understand such a condition,
since the authorities would naturally
hesitate to cable unless the man were
in a very serious condition. The Red
Cross has an information service in
France which supplements the official
casualty notices to relatives in per-
sonal and humanitarian way, trans
mitting any details of interest or con-
ISOLATION to relatives Of the dead or
wounded.
Until Senator's Chamberlain g
speech, we had no idea that such a
service was needed IN American can
tonments."
The proposed service would involve
the placing Of a Red Cross represen-
tative in each cantonment

Thoma, P. Littlepage. "Four-Min,
ute Man." Addresses Meeting.

Declaring that we must win the war
quickly and that every months delay
means the sacrifice Of American lives.
Thomas P. Littlepage. one of the
"four-mlnute" speakers for the W. 5.
s., aroused enthusiasm at a meeting
OF the Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton last night in the Potomac Savings
Bank Hall.
Mr.. Littlepage said we are fighting
the military autocracy Of Germany,
despoiler of every country standing in
the way OF Germany's aggressions.
America has accepted the challenge.
and 1t is now up to US to lay aside
partisanship and everything else and
bend every energy to win the war. The
speaker drew a vivid picture OF our
troops marching in glorious array up
Pennsylvania avenue after the war.
A resolution introduced by John
Hadley Doyle favored government con-
troll Of the Potomac canal on account
of its benefit to Georgetown, and on
motion OF H. s. Matthews another
resolution was adopted encouraging
the utilization OF the water power OF
Great Falls for heating and other pur-
poses. Both resolutions were referred
to committees.

KEEPS
ENGLAND FIRM
AGAINST HUNS
Former Member of Parlia-
ment Pays Tribute to Pres
ident at Trench Dinner.

Declaring that the personality of
President Wilson was the only thing
which was keeping the people Of Eng
land united against Prussianism, Col.
Josiah Wedgwood, member of the
British Parliament for more than hf-
teen years, caused a dramatic scene
of riotous patriotism at the annual
conference of the National Popular
Government League in the New Ebbitt
last night.
Col. Wedgwood backed up this sur
prising statement by saying that he
believed faith in the hearts of the
allied peoples in Americas Chief Ex-
ecutive was doing more in the battle
to down the Hun than even Americas
soldiers in the French trenches.
My people / am certain" Col.
Wedgwood continued, believe in
President Wilson as they have never
believed in a man before.
Col. Wedgwood's glowing tribute to
President Wilson came after a SYM

woman Jeanette Rankin, Samuel

Gill, of Indiana, and George Creel.
With a war kitchen and all of its
accoutrements for a background and
a genuine trench dinner" as a war
diet, it was only proper that all of
the speakers should talk about the
war.
Congresswoman Rankin, whose
topic on What Is Coming Out of
This War" was naturally For
Women" warned the women Of the
country that unless they get the
vote before the war is over they
will very likely not get it at all.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
who made a brief address, said that
among the compensations which
will come out of the present war is
that it will end all military caste
with which we have long been
cursed.
He told his hearers that he believed
that we had made more progress
in our nine months of war than we
could have in six years during
peace. He also said that he soon

Secretary of the Navy and Mr..

to leave.
Samuel Gompers who devoted his
six minute talk to that subject on
which he is an undisputed authority
said that he believed that the pre-
sent war was showing the vital
part in which labor plays in the
nations life.
Representative Baer, of North Da-
kota, brought home the message to
his audience that the farmers of the
country were not adverse to the fix
ing of the price of wheat but that
they would demand that all other
commodities have their prices fixed
from steel down through the line.
Representative Baer provoked ap-
plause when he said that he was

GERMAN
SPY ASSAILED
U. S. OFFICIAL
William Churchill Suffered
Bruise on Head During
Attack of Vertigo.

Officials of the Bureau Of Public In
formation last night denied reports
that German agents operating in the
Capital were responsible for the at
tack made on William Churchill. now
chief of the foreign language depart
ment. about four months ago.
1t was said last night that an at
tack of vertigo causing Mr.. Churchill
to collapse and hit his head against
a radiator, infiicting a cash at the
base Of the skull. gave rise to rumors
that he had been attacked by German
agents. while he was translating
valuable papers used by the Secret
Service.
Was Not TransIatIng.
Churchill at the time of the accident
was not in the foreign language de-
partment OF the committee and was
not translating valuable papers.
watchmen Of the building emphati-
calIy denied last night that they had
seen a man running from the build
ing.
Agents Of the Department of Justice
denied that they had been at work on
the case.
Mr.. Churchill worked from a. m.
until 9 a. m. and during the early
morning hours he would sleep for a
short time. On the morning of the al
legged attack Mr.. Churchill was awak-
ened suddenly and on arising he suf-
fered an attack of vertigo and col
lapsed. striking his head against the
radiator.
He was removed to the Emergency
HOspitaI where he soon recovered
Mr.. Churchill last night refused to
make a statement, other than that he
could not account for the scar on his
head. and for that reason he had kept
the incident quiet.

Protest Closing Of
The Port of London

London. Jan. 25.-The proposal
to close the port of London to mer-

opposition from London CONNER
cial interests. The proposal was
discussed at a meeting attended by
London's parliamentary represen-
tatives and riverside interests. and
although the reason for such action
was admitted 1t was the unanimous
opinion that some other solution
should be found. A deputation of
