BEELER REPORT IN;
ADVISES v. IA.
TERMINAL CHANGE
By BILL PRICE.

John 4. Beeler's third report on
street railway conditions in Washing
ton. made public today. recommends
strongly that the Washington. Balti'
more and Annapolis cars. coming INFO
Washington over the II street line OF
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. and allowed terminal facil'
ities at Fifteenth street and New York
avenue. be denied these mid-city ter
minal facilities until such time as i'm.
rnruant and necessary improvements
are made. these being:
|. Terminal facilities that will PEI
nit these heavy interurban cars to
load ind unload on separate and in
dependent tracks. such a terminal be
ing preferably a loop over which city
cars v Guild not operate. the object be.
ing 20 prevent interference with the
operation of city cars.
= The terminal should be located
east OF Fourteenth street, so that
there cars will not add to the conses'
ton at Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets and New York avenue
;. Thorough inspection and adeou-
ate maintenance OF equipment OF the
interurban cars to ENSURE against
breakdowns and delays that are now
of such frequent occurrence and so
annoying to the citizens OF Washing
ton dependent upon the Columbia
line for transportation to and from
their work"
L. A sufficient. number OF compe-
tent and experienced motormen who
can handle the heavy and compli-
Gated cars within the city proper.
CITY Patrons Beneat.
The advantage to city passengers
of keeping the heavy interurban cars
away from the congested part Of the
city for the present at least are
many, Mr.. Beeler points out. They
will not be delayed by the break
downs and delays caused by these
cars. The tracks will not be occu-
pied by "haIf-nlled interurban cars
during the height Of the rush period"
More local cars can be put through.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company must provide sufficient
aQdltlOnal equipment 10 property S3ie
for interurban passengers between
the station at Fifteenth and H streets
northeast, known as the white
House station" and the Treasury
end. There ought to be only slight
inconvenience to interurban paSsen-
gers in transferring to and from the
Baltimore cars at Fifteenth and H
streets northeast.
Mr.. Beeler believes that instead Of
having a damaging effect on the
business OF the Baltimore line the
will improve con-
ditions, releasing from two to hve
cars and their crews for service on
the rest OF the system, which is Grip
pied, It is claimed, because Of lack
of equipment and men.
Mr.. Beeler states that the ending
of the trips OF the Baltimore cars at
Fifteenth street and New York ave-
nue. greatly aggravates the conges-
ton in the throat" OF the Capital
Traction lines, where the greatest
congestion in the city occurs.

WEEKSCALLSBAKER
PAC|FIST;; POLITICS
LAID TOPRESIDENT

Secretary Of War Baker was
characterized as a pacihst by Senator
Weeks. OF Massachusetts,. q Repub-
lican member OF the Senate Military
Affairs Committee. in a speech in the
Senate today. The Senator declared
he could not escape the conclusion
that Americas war work was being
conducted on the basis that the war
IL 5000 miles away instead OF with
the vigor the Government would ex-
ercise II hostilities were actually in
progress on our own frontier.
Attacks the President.
Senator Weeks bluntly charged
that the President himself had in
Jected politics into the controversy
over the conduct or the war. Not
q question indicating partisanship
was raised until the President de-
liberately injected politics into the
situation by an attack upon the
chairman OF the committee and the
committee itself, and by calling to
the White House many Democratic
party leaders, not for consultation
purposes, but to insist that a discus
sion Of this question on the'hoor OF
the Senate be prevented II possible"
he said. This latter statement, of
course. Is based upon current Cos
sip. but as far a. can learn, II has
never been denied"
Senator Weeks reviewed the war
preparations most exhaustively and
hurled knocks and boosts in lively
fashion at the Administration.
Charges Baker PaeIhst.
''If were TO make a further criti-
ciSm," he continued. at would relate
to his GSecretary Baker'sl tempera-
mental relationship to war. Doubt
less he himself would admit that he Is
q pacifst by nature. For example, he
IL even now opposed to universal mill
tary training, one OF the benefits We
ought to get out OF the great sac
rlhces we are making"
The Massachusetts, Senator scored
the War Department for not adopting
the British Lee-Enfeld rifle
He furnished a table showing that
the new model rifle had been manu-
featured at the rate OF I .366 a DAY up
to September 81, and that the total
production up to that date had been
only 345,460.
During that time" he said, 'if We
had continued the manufacture OF the
British rife we could have manufsc-
tured at least 5000 a day, a total
Of about 1900, 900, or more than four
times as many as were actually pro-
duced."

American TransatlanticCo.
Defended as Martyr When
British Took Its Boats
3 Sent to Prize Court
Publisher Tried to E.mbroil
America and England Over
Taking of Vessels

Three of the ships of the American
Transatlantic Steamship Company
which the Enemy Alien Property Gus
todian took over Wednesday we're
seized in 1915 by the British as YES
sells of an enemy owned corporation.
At that time William Randolph Hearst
rallied to the support of the American
Transatlantic Steamship Company with
hts "New York American" He strove
to make a grave issue of the seizures
between the United States and Great
Britain, and when the British eventu
ally sent the ships to a prize court he
hailed this decision as o personal tri-
umph.
s"The New York American" day after
day pointed out the "affront" Great
Britain had offered the United States
in laying hands upon the Hooking. the
Genesee and the Kankakee, vessels
owned by the line which the United
States has decided is controlled by the
enemy.
William Bayard Hale, who edited the
Lusitania speech Of Dr.. Bernhard Dern-
burg, was called to the lcolors by Mr.
Hearst and welded an able pen skill
fully to array this country against
Great Britain upon the issue of the
Transatlantic company's ships. BY put
ting Hypothetical questions to experts
in international law and printing their
replies. Mr.. Hearst gave the effect of a
solid American basis to his attack on
Great Britain. When that nation de-
cided to put the whole matter up to a
prize court the decision was hailed in
THE Am erican" as victory which Mr..
Hearst had won for the people of the
United States, and several United
States Senators lent their names and
photographs to Mr.. Hearst's pages in
e. substantiation of that hypothesis.
The Hooking Case
The Hooking was seized on October
81, 1915, the Genesee on November %
and the Kankakee on November "a
There was no misfre in the anti-British
publicity. On November / "The New
York American" proclaimed Seizure
OF Hooking by British Gravest Issue in
War for u. S."-and this within less
dren, women and men had been sent
triumphantly to the bottom by the Ger
mans who torpeaoed the Lusitania.
For weeks The New York

the American Transatlantic Steam
ship Company Every scrap of news
concerning the case was turned to
account as ammunition and the pub

Moulin ROUGE

"The Revue Intime" continues to en-

new domino room Of the Moulin Rouge.
In arranging this novel performance
Manager Gaillard T. Boag has provided d
an entertainment that has captured the
fancy of broadway. The spirit of in
vimacy which he has injected into the
dlnlng and dance palace also has helped
to establish the Moulin Rouge as one
of Broadway's favorito show places.
Another important factor in the sue
cess of Mr.. Boag's enterprise is the
efficient orchestra which furnishes the
music for general dancing Ben Selvin,
its director, rounded UP sextet of past

later date being received before one
unailcd perhaps a week or moro earlier
One explanation Of this Is that the
postmaster Mt the port Of embarkation
has been assigned by the War Depart
ment to definite limited space for
mail, and when the amount of mail
has exceeded this, the excess has had
to be held over until tho next steamer.
Exccsscs May Occur
"If there were, say. two thousand
bags ready for shipment and tho post
master was notified that only eight
hundred bags could be handled, tho
surplus, twelve hundred bags, would
have to lie over, being included in
the mail accumulating for tho next
steamer. Such an excess Of mail

On December l the excuse depart
ment Of "The New York American"
reported editorially as follows that
it could find no excuse for Great
Bdtain's lawlessness: "Thc seizure
of the American ship Kankakce by a
British cruiser was lawless and in
cxcusable."
Two days later "The New York
American" devoted an entire page to
propaganda favorable to the Transact
Britain. The entire episode was re-
viewed, and there were photographs of
the clogged piers and railroad tcrmi-
nails Of New York, with the intimation
that they were clogged because Great
Britain refused to let American ships
sail the high seas.
Attacks on Great Britain
Great Britain has seized these boats
ship" it was said. "The American
Trans Atlantic Steamship Company
has furnished affidavits that every
share Of stock in the concern is held
by American citizens for their inter
est alone"
DR.. Hale opened up with a full-page
salvo on December 6. His article was
accompanied by a map Of the world
purporting to show where Great Brit
ain would permit neutral ships to sail
DR.. Hale frankly gave it as his opinion
and, moreover, as fact that Great
Britain had rendered all waters save
inland seas and lakes unsafe for neu-
trail shipping. AS to the Hooking, DR..
Hale raised his hands in horror, drop
ping the right one to write:
mo bellige,cnt has n right on any
ground to object to the transfer to
American registry of any neutral
Transatlantic Steamship Company
was backed by money furnished by
gentlemen whose nationality is often
sivc to Britons. LET 1T BE NOTED
THAT EVEN If THIS WERE THE
CASE 1T WOULD AFFORD NO
UND WHATSOEVER VI o N
WHICH THE HOOKING MIGHT BE
MADE A BRITISH CAPTIVE. 1t is
not crime for Germans to invest
prise. There is no Federal statute;
there is probably no enactment in any
state in the Unien which forbids the
investment of foreign capital of any
national denomination in American en-
terprises."
Hearst Claims Credit
Great Britain, which previously had
amended its first decision that the
seized ships were so notoriously Ger
man that no session of prize court
was necessary to establish the fact, de-
ferrcd on Docomber 10 to the wishes
of the United States and returned to
its original intention of placing the
matter before q prize court.
This news decked the front page of
"The New York American" with the
ever-ready American flags surrounding

THE imaginative housekeeper will
find that nuts used in various
ways are a decided help in plan
nng the menus. Although some of the
varieties are expensive, small guam
tity will give a delicious flavor and zcst
to almost any dish to which they are
added and at the same time materially
increase the food value of the recipe
Among the recipes for the week will
be found number of good formulas in
which nuts are used and in addition to
these the baked maple apples with nuts,
the fried nut scrappe the nut and olive
sandwiches and the almond cookies can
be highly recommended.
For the apples remove the cores and
FL the cavities with a mixture Of
crushed maple sugar, ground cinnamon
and chopped hickory nuts. Place in a
baking pan, pour in q cupful of water,
add a little lemon juice and bake bast-
ing frequently. TO make the scrapple
prepare u thick cornmoal mush, season
with salt, papriza and little pork
dripping and stir in the choppcd nut
meats. Mould, slice and fry In pre-
pairing the sandwiches use equal parts
of chopped stuffed olives and shredded
lettuce, moistcn with boiled dressing
and add chopped nut meats to suit the
individual taste. Use as filing be-
tween brown or rye bread
simple recipe for the almond
cookies directs that a quarter of a cup
full of cleo be creamed with quarter of
cupful of grated maple sugar Add
the yolks of two small eggs lightly
