WOULD PUT SOLDIERS
IN FIRE Department
Use Limited Men of National
Army, Capt. o'connor Urges.
Men for Police Force Coming.

Capt Edward O'Connor of No. 10
truck company of the District fire
department. who conducted a cam
paign for an increased force of fire.
men and adoption Of the two-platoon
system. makes the plea that the fire
departments ranks be equipped from
the limited service force of the Ma
tional Army:
He advances the theory that protec-
tion of federal property from fire Is
as important as protection of it from
a police standpoint. and it is possible
that Chief Wagner will ask the Dis
trict Commissioners to cooperate with
him in an effort to get at least as many
men from the limited service force
of the National Army as the draft
took from the force.
Maj. Pullman today stated that he
expects the first increment of the lin
tied service men for the police depart
ment to report for duty tomorrow
possibly from Camp Lee. He learned
from Mai. John Z. Harris, adjutant at
Camp Meade, that furlough papers of
the nifty men who are to come from
that camp have been approved.
Eleven are to come from Camp
Humphreys and twelve from Camp
Lee. 1t is believed that several Of
the seventy-three men selected Tor po-
lice work may not meet the require
ments and will be returned to mill
tary duty.

Hymn Of Hate.

Last night I sat up pretty late
indulging in a lot of hate. l
hated all our Teuton foes, their
hearts, their whiskers and their
toes; / hated Hindenburg and
Bill, and Ludendorff, with right
good will. From 10 o'clock till
half-past ! | hated every beastly
Hun, and hoped his name might
yet be Mud; ground my teeth
and sweated blood. And so to-
day I'm feeling punk; there's
lassitude throughout my trunk
my head aches in a horrid way,
l have. no appetite for hay; a
shooting pain is in my lung, and
l have moss upon my tongue,
the gripes disturb my ample
waist, my mouth is full of dark
green taste. l don't suppose l
manned foe by hating half the
night or SO; / don't suppose a
Teuton knew that / was hating,
long hours through. And SO l
realize today that all my hate
was thrown away; alas, to
waste a hundredweight of all
neutrality-suspicious. hate! The
Teutons have for many years
been soaked in hatred to their
ears; they Tapped up hatred
from their birth; it fattened
them, increased their girth ;
their kultur has it for base, it
thrives in every Prussian place.
So they can hate the hours
away, and not be crunpled up
next day. But hatred here seems
coarse and rude, for kindness
was our infant food; it makes
US bilious, sick and sore, and life
becomes a dreary bore.
