ENTHUSIASTIC
President and Public Give
Military Musicians
Cordial Greeting.

Conservative Washington, slow to
respond to new features. yesterday
threw open her arms to the members
of the French Military Band. sent
here by the French government at
the request of Secretary Baker. An
immense audience, which crowded the
Belasco Theater yesterday afternoon.
heard the famous musicians from
France, the majority of whom have
seen service against Germany, in
concert for the first time in this city.
Following their presentation to
President Wilson at the White House
by NJ. Edouard de Billy, member Of
the French high commission to the
United States. at which the President
posed for pictures, the bandsmen were
cordially received by Washington's
musical public at the concert.
Concerted applause forced the men
to respond to many encores.
Among those present were Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson and Miss Margaret
Wilson. Mrs. Josephus Daniels. Sec
retary OF Commerce Redfield and
Mrs. Redfield, Lord Reading, British
ambassador, and Lady Reading. and
Major Stewart, of the British army.
Yesterday morning the bandsmen
were taken on a sightseeing tour OF
the city in automobiles furnished by
William Santelmann, leader OF the
Marine Band. Thirty automobiles are
wanted at $50 tonight to transport
the band to Fort Myer, where they
will play on the parade ground of the
fort at 7:S o'clock. Those desiring tc
furnish automobiles can arrange to dc
SO by calling DR.. D. E. Yarnell, asso'
ciate war work secretary of the Y
NJ. c. A. for the Washington district
at Main $50
Tomorrow the band will play in the
French section of the pageant, DE
mocracy Triumphant and Friday
will give its. farewell concert at Camp
Leach, at American University.

Many Heavy Guns.
Among the arguments which led
TO those conclusions are: A store
house full of rifle grenades. hand
grenades and air bombs, some forty
I5-milimeter howitzers. batteries
of three-inch guns beloved by
French, British and American in
ventors. eight-inch howitsers. nine
inch howitzers and. to be frank
about 1t. eleven-inch howitzers.
Not to play any favorites, it should
be added that the government has
also shipped in three-inch and six
inch Stokes mortars, four and six
inch field pieces and some naval
rifles.

had been any change in the inter-
tions. In view of the understand
ing here. however. that the LAND
overy Castle. too. had complied with
all the Hague stipulations. it was
admitted that there was prospect Of
a changed policy on the part Of
all the allies II convinced that Ger
many meant to throw over the
Hague conventions altogether.
Regardless OF what the other gov
ernments may do. 1t is taken fro
granted that the United States will
press for a reply from Germany to our
previous demand for a bill Of par
ticulars in connection with the en-
emy charge that American aviators
were being transported on a hos
pital ship that was torpedoed in
the English Channel This demand
was made six weeks ago through the
Spanish Embassy at Berlin. but no
response has been forthcoming.
Any attempt on the part OF the
German government to Justify the
sinking OF the Llandoyery Castle on
the assumption that she was trans

rejected by all the allied govern
ments as unworty of consideration.

whether her title was clear. That
he did not, and that he even went
so far as to shell the boats carry
ing helpless women nurses is taken
as proof of wanton disregard of all
rules of warfare.
In this connection it was announced
at the State Department yesterday
afternoon that the conferences to be
held at Berne, Switzerland. between
representatives of the United States
and Germany regarding the treatment
of prisoners of war has been delayed
owing to the failure OF the German
government to name delegates.
Spain has been requested to insist
on behalf Of this government that the
proceedings go on. Apparently Ger
many does not wish to deal with the
United States on the question until
she has dealt with the allies of the
United States. though why, the State
Department does not know. Before
Germany consented in the first place
to discuss the question, Secretary
Lansing. commenting on reports Of
cruelty to American prisoners of war
in Germany, sent a note to the enemy
through Spain reminding them point
edly Of the far greater number of
German war prisoners there were in
this country against which reprisals
might be taken.

Employee Status.
2. Doubt as to the status of the
employees of the companies with re-
spect to their afiliation with organ
lied labor. Mr.. Burleson made the
fat statement to the committee that
although he would permit the men
to organize within the service. he
would not allow them to afiliate
with outside organizations.
3. The fear expressed by some
members of the committee that
placing the entire wire service of
the country under the control of
the postmaster general would give
that official a powerful weapon Of
censorship over the newspapers. Mr..
Burleson told the committee he had
no desire to exercise such authority
and that his face was set like flint
against it,
Postmaster General Burleson was
asked by Representative Winslow. of
Massachusetts,:
Oppose Limitation.
"You consider this as a war meas
ure. In view OF that, should the sys-
TENS be turned over to their owners
after the war;
1T would be most unfortunate for
Congress to fix a limitation" the Post
tAI q .
would be misunderstood. If we should
place a Limitation upon the control OF
these systems the people would say it
was done to prevent the government
effecting economies, and. Of course.
nothing of a permanent nature cou!d
be done to improve the service. If 1
were opposed to government owner
ship OF these systems. l should want
nothing better than to have Congress
fix limitation. In limited time the
government could not show what could
be accomplished and might fail"
Then you are absolutely opposed
to taking over the systems in the
same manner in which the govern
ment took over the railroads.
Il am opposed to any limitation"
Secretary Baker said:
IF had my way about it I would
put no time limit on the period of gov
ernment control
Secretary Daniels said:
L think the period of control should
be left to Congress, although I think
personally government control should
last forever"
Senate Has Like Resolve
While the committee was engaged
in the hearing an unforeseen compli-
cation arose which for a time deprived
the committee of all Jurisdiction over
the resolution. Representative Cor
don, of Ohio, a member Of the Military
Affairs Committee. made a motion in
the House to have the Aswell resolu-
tion taken from the Interstate Com
merce Committee and given to the Mil
itary Committee. The motion was
adopted, without the knowledge of the
Interstate Commerce Committee,
which went on with the hearing OBJ
livious to the fact that 1t had no au-
thority.
After the committee had adjourned
Chairman Sims went before the House
and succeeded in getting the action on
the Gordon motion reversed.
In the Senate Senator Cummins. OF
Iowa, asked to have the companion
resolution by Senator Sheppard re-
referred from the Military Afrairs
Committee to the Interstate Commerce
Committee. The motion was held up
in the absence OF Senator Chamber
lain, chairman of the Military Affairs
Committee, but 1t is understood he will
interpose no objection to having Sem

Officials Believe Yanks
Training There Would
Affect Native Lads.

Dublin, July 2.-If Irish-Americans
i'm the United States are brought to
ireland for further training before
they are taken to France. II is be-
lteved their presence would have a
good effect upon the recruiting prob
lem. 1t IL pointed out that the pres
|ence of Irish-Americans. thousands OF
miles from home and imbued with a
feryent ambition to crush the Hun.
certainly could have no other effect
than to make the thousands Of stall
wart young Irishmen here Join up.
The native Irish lads, no doubt,
would feel ashamed not to be in uni
form, when their kinsmen from across
the sea have shown their spirit so
periodically.
Viscount French. and Chief secre-
tary Shortt, 1t is understood, are quite
in earnest for their proposal for Irish
Americans to train in Erin. Without
the support OF the Nationalists. the
voluntary enlistment plan. designed to
enroll $1,000 men by fall, will be seri-
ously handicapped.
Likewise, II the Catholic Church
continues adamant. further din
culties will confront any enlistment
scheme.

is determined to go ahead, cooper.

more than thirty years !mpSison-

This action has been taken by
government authorities to protect
it's property in transit. Such felonies
are regarded as being overt acts"

NO SEALS SOLD THIS YEAR.

The customary sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals will not be held this
year. 1t seemed best to both the
American Red Cross and the National
tuberculosis Association to unite in
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call to
reduce the number of appeals to the
public for contributions. There will
be no lessening of activities by the
National tuberculosis Association
through this arrangement, as the Red
Cross War Council has appropriated
$2,500,000 for anti-tuberculosis work
in 1919 in lieu of the money that ordi-
narily would be raised by a Christmas
Seal Campaign. However, every per-
son joining the Red Cross during the

WHERE WOUNDED MEN
YIELD TO DAY DREAMS
Restored to Health and vigor in
Red Cross ConvaIescent
Homes.

The surgeon has extracted the i'm.
partially distributed bits of shrapnel
from your works. The wounds have
healed. The wheels go round again,
and the clock ticks.
But 1t doesn't keep correct time.
This business of calling thine !" on
the Boche means so many broken clocks
nowadays that the master-menders
can't keep them on their tables after
they're mended. So the question where
they shall sit around while they're be-
ing regulated looms large.
The Red Cross answers that ques-
ton with its convalescent homes. 1t
has six of these in operation. A suit
able place Is found-sometimes do
nated-and management and equip
ment are provided by the Red Cross,
while the Army has furnished disci-
pline and never-failing supply of con-
valescents.
These homes mean that men who
are scarcely hospital subjects, yet who
can by no means go back to their du-
ties, have place that does what
"home" does for the French or Eng
fish soldier. what "home" does for
any one, in fact, when the doctor gets
through.
You know. He says: you're all

right now. It's only matter OF nurs-
ing and food"
But you know he's only looking at
the works he's tinkered, and that the
soul within you is grousing as 1t never
did when the body was down and out.
1t wants something, and 1t doesn't
know what it Is. But IL 1t doesn't get
II pretty quick the works are going to
get gummed again. You know your
mother could find out what that dog
gone thing is right away and hand IT
to you on a plate. But General Per
shing won't let you go to her.
And the War Department won't let her
come to you
Then you're taken to a Red Gross
convalescent homeland there is the
very thing you wantedl But you
couldn't describe 1t even then to save
your life.
1t Is a bit Of coddling, and pretty
surroundings, and women's faces, and
light laughter and time to play and all
that sort of thing. 1t Is forgetting the
crash of war and remembering that
there are pleasant, soft voices. It's
even such things as gaily-howered sofa
pillows to jam into q corner and make
a nice lolling place while you read
and smoke and talk. It's slippers in
stead Of trench boots, or day-dreams
in place Of the nightmare Of killing.

ASK THE SOLDIERS.

That the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines are deeply appreciative of the
canteen service of the American Red
Cross is given ample evidence many
times every day. The keynote of their
appreciation is perhaps best expressed
on the post cards which they send to
the folks back home" when en- route
to points of embarkation. From n
dozen picked up at random the follow
ing sentiments were taken and speak
for themselves:
RED Cross are sure treating us
great en- route"
RED Cross are sure making 1t happy
for u.s."
Support Red Cross In everything"
For Gods sake never say No to
the Red Cross. They're wonderful"
"Long live the Red Cross"
"The Red Cross are angels to us the
way they treat us"
"Canteen service 100 per cent. In
