Has any man dared to tell you to sink your
manhood or womanhood and love the unspeak-
able Turk-or as a noted divine once said from
his pulpit, moved thereto by the fearful crimes
which were then being committed, the damn

100000 Armenian Christians and in sending
into the horrors of Turkish harems the fairest

sbrutes?
Would you love them if your own wife or
daughter had thus been treated?
Never let yourself think of Germany or of
Germans merely as a misguided nation, forced
into war.
Never think of Germans as of the soldiers of
other wars to be forgiven when the struggle
is over.
Think of Germans as super-fends who for
generations have planned world conquest for

Think of Germans as of people who have
gloated over crimes of frightfuness.
Think of Germans as of people who made
holidays to celebrate the numbering of women
and children on the Lusitania
Think of Germans who have had one supreme
aim in life viz: to enrich their country and
themselves by numbering millions of people in
order to loot the world.
Think deep down in your soul of this nation
of liars, of looters, of rapists, of murderers of

u. S. CAN SELL
GERMAN-OWNED
PROPERTYHERE
Conferees Reach Agree,
ment on Terms Included
in Deficiency Bill.

After a long wrangle over the
provisions in the Urgent Deficiency
bill for the sale of German-owned
property within the United States,
the conferees of the Senate and
House agreed to the terms of the
bill yesterday and will make their
report to both houses tomorrow.
AS amended by the conferees the
alien property custodian is given
authority to sell at public auction
to the highest bidder all property
in this country which is owned by
German interests. the sales to be
made only to American citizens. In
certain specified instances. where
the interests of the public require
1t, the sales may be made privately
after due notice of publication has
been made.
The purchase by the President of
the Hoboken piers now owned by
German steamship companies is also
authorized by the bill.
The principal cause of contro-
the section authorizing the sale of
German property interests. This
section was inserted in the bill at
the request of the President after
the bill had been passed by the
House. The House, therefore, had
never acted upon 1t and the House
conferees were placed in the embar-
RAISING position of not knowing
what the sentiment of the House
with respect to the section might
be.
Another complication arose from
the protest of A. Mitchell Palmer.
the Alien Property Custodian,
against the requirement that the
sales must be conducted in public.
1t was stated that this would be-
feat the PURPOSES of the section in
that persons friendly to the Ger
man owners would be enabled to
buy up the properties and return
them to their former owners after
the war.
The Senate conferees were bound
to support this provision. however.
as it had been written into the sec
tion upon a motion made in the
Senate by Senator Frelinghuysen.
of New Jersey.
1t was finally upon the suggestion
of Representative Sherley. one of
| the conferees on the part of the
House. that the section was modi-
fled so as to permit the property
custodian to use his discretion in
certain cases and hold the sales In
private.

1t is known that stockholders and
officials of both companies are in favor
of the merger. which they say would
result in better service to the pubic
and mean a benefit to the companies.
No successor to Mr.. King has yet
been chosen, and the board OF direc'

to induce the Capital Traction Com

successor to the former president.

FeeIers and tentative offers are be-

WAR CANTEEN
TO BE OPENED
NEXT MONDAY
Society Women Will Ope-
rate Cafeteria to Aid
Navy Relief.

As the result OF weeks OF work by
a committee of society women
headed by Mrs. Leigh Palmer. wife
of Admiral Palmer. U. s. N, Wash
ington's first war canteen will be
opened in the Corcoran Court Build
ing, on E street, between Seven
teenth and Eighteenth street north
west, Monday morning.
The added number of government
clerks and war workers in the Dis
trict departments, particularly the
State, War and Navy Building, Is
the primary cause TO- the opening
of the Corcoran Court Canteen.
For Convenience Of Clerks.
On account of these extra clerks,
it is said. food lines have been
formed in the small restaurants
during the past few months. This
new canteen will be under the d.
rection of an experienced manager
and will accommodate at least 1900
persons per day, according to esti-
mates.
1t Is finished throughout in heavy
white enamel. On account of press
ing emergency, chairs and tables
have not yet received their coats
of enamel, but within a few months
it is hoped that everything in the
restaurant will be in a snowy garb
The institution will be managed
under the cafeteria plan at popular
prices. This plan is also something
novel In the city. The diner enters
q small enclosure, secures an empty
tray, passes down the line of food
takes what he wants, and pays the
cashier at the end of the line foI
the food on the tray.
In this way there can be no con-
fusion either on the part of the
management or the customer.
For worthy Cause.
Funds raised by the operation Of
this canteen will be given to the
ows and orphans of officers and en-
listed men who go down during the
war. While the government sup
piled the space for the canteen. II
was equipped by the committee.
The committee is composed of the
following ladies':
Mrs. Leigh Palmer, wife or Ad-
miral Palmer, chief of the bureau
Of navigation of the Navy Depart
ment; Mrs. William S. Benson, wife
OF Admiral Benson, chief of the bu'

of physical disqualifications which,
