TO GET ON FIRING LINE
DR.. L. F. Snow Also Says Formation
Of National Guard on Islands
Has Aroused Great Patriotism.

Natives of the Philippine Islands are
anxious to take their place on the
firing line in Europe with the Ameri-
can forces. according to DR.. Louis
+. Snow. professor of English in the
University of the Philippines and Ii
brarian Of the College of Liberal Arts
in the islands. who is on leave in this
country. He addressed fellow alumni
of Brown University at the monthly
luncheon Of the Alumni Club of
Brown yesterday afternoon at the
Cosmos Club.
DR.. Snow said that the establish
ment of the National Guard in the
American possessions in that part of
the globe had been means of arous-
ing great enthusiasm for the war, and
that students were constantly drilling
in the hope of fighting for democracy.
The speaker also told of the need of
esta blishing better shipping facilities
to distribute the great volume of
Philippine products that was avail
able He emphasized the extent of
the sugar crop and its value to the
worlds markets if it could be brought
to them in adequate quantities.

established, especially as means of
providing an adequate news service

IN THE FRENCH WAR ZONE. May
21.-A striking example of tho hon
esty and devotion to duty Of the
French soldiers was given here by
poilu earning cents a day who
brought to the prefecture of this town
$4,000 francs worth of money and
bonds (s15.4OO) which he had found in
a bombarded chateau. This incident is
in line with the excellent work being
done by the French civil authorities
in salvaging personal property and
furniture from districts threatened
with bombardment.
The government furnishes trucks for
those people who wish to transport
their furniture from the danger zone.

thorities undertake the whole opera
ton. Frequently such houses are in
districts that cannot be visited in the
day time because of shell fire. The
trucks. therefore. make trips at night.
The workers are often obliged to
break into locked houses before they
can begin the work of rescue.
Special attention is being paid to
the many chateaux in these districts,
as the property contained in them

ried out of danger and the money and
valuables are deposited with the pre-
fects. The furniture is stored in
safe place to await the return of the

BUSINESS FACING

chants and Others.
MANY, HARD HIT, IS CLAIM

Merchants, lunchroom proprietors

| wrestling with the problem of how
to fill AAe places Of the employees who
will be affected by Gen. Crowder's
order providing that all men Of draft
age either must get work in an es-
sential war industry or enter the
military service.
Exact figures Of tho number Of
Washington men who will be hit by
the ruling were not available today,
but estimates made by proprietors
indicated that the department stores
will lose approximately $50 men. eat
ing establishments about 200 walters.
and buildings about 400 elevator con-
ductors.
The estimate of $50 for department
stores does not include the hundreds
Of smaller mercantile establishments
whose employees would come under
the heading of sales clerks"
Theaters Already Employ Girls.
1t is not expected that the number
of theater ushers affected will be
large, as number of theaters already
have employed girls. The estimate of
200 walters is based on a membership
of 400 in the Walters Union and does
not include other lunchroom employees.
The board of governors of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa
+, tlon will meet in the rooms of the
association. in The Star building. at $
O'Clock tonight to consider the prob
lem presented by Gen. Crowder's or
der, but it is practically certain that
no protest will be made.
| One department store manager said
today that he would favor the ap-
pointment of a committee to call on
the provost marshal general and ex-
would result from the operation of
the regulation, but not to make the
visit in any sense protest
In the shipping rooms of the de-
partment stores. for example," said a
manager, the majority of employees
are men who might be affected by
the order. and their jobs would be
hard to fill by women, because of the
physical requirements. OF course.
there are some jobs in the shipping
rooms that women could fill"
Elevator Service Discussed.
One Of the Districts elevator in
spectors expressed the belief that
stores. office buildings and apartment
houses would not find great difficulty
in getting girls to take mems places
as elevator operators. The inspector
said that the young women who al
ready have become lift" girls since
the United States entered the war
have shown themselves to be as care
full. If not more SO, than male op-
orators.
/ 1t is not expected that soda foun-
tains will be much affected by the
order. since the employment of girls

already serious problem of Keeping

Auditors Conclusions.

Auditor Davis, in his report. con-
demned the transaction by which the
Southern building was conveyed to
the Southern Realty Corporation for
bonds Of tho latter company and de-
clared the realty company a "mask"
for the insurance company. He aues-
toned the legality of the use of the
funds of the Insurance company in the
incorporation of the realty company
and recommended proceedings at law
for the recovery Of the money SO ex-
pended.
In reference to these recommenda-
tions. Justice Siddons in his opinion
says:
The questions that are raised by
the auditor undoubtedly will require
action of some kind by the receiver
or receivers to be appointed. and in
deed 1t is obvious that any attempt
to reinvest the title of the Southern
building in the insurance company can
only be accomplished by an appro-
pirate suit or action having that for
it's purpose"

During the recent period of chilly

We are sorry to deny you fuel, but
the rule admits of no exceptions and
applies to all, even to the king, who
himself chooses to go without fuel at

he may observe the same regime that
