Bacchus Weeps again.
OF course, it's getting to be a regu
lar thing for Bacchus to bawl, but
this time he got a body-blow from
the Baltimore and Ohio that makes
his hold on Washington considerably
drier than IT was.
For the Baltimore and Ohio has
ruled, and the rule is already in
effect, that no more Baltimore-to-

permitted on it's trains. That, ac-

Glaring signs confront the am
bilious carrier OF liquor in the Balti-

well as we do, that that ruling isn't
aimed at Mrs. Suburbanite, who may

household goods, white goods, and
other dry goods after a days shop
ping. No, sir! You know, and the
Baltimore and Ohio officials know and
admit it, that it's aimed against the
perfectly good bootleggers who use
the Baltimore and Ohio passenger
coaches for freight cars.
It's this way, one Of the Baltimore
and Ohio officials explained:
"No railroad would allow a man
to bring dozens OF punches OF
bananas into a passenger car and
crowd out the rest Of the seatholders

U.S.CONSIDERS
PLANS TOPGjjR
OUT MONEY TO
SAVE RUSSIANS
By CARL D. GRoAT.

The State Department has under
consideration a definite plan of aid
for Russia
It became known today that this
contemplates a form Of financial as
sistance, which while helping Rus
sia to struggle back to a place IN
the sun, would also foil Germanys
grasping Vaccinations.
Buy Up Supplies.
In brief, the department plan is to
furnish q vast quantity of money
wherewith to buy up supplies in Rus
siG, including cotton, oil. and other
commodities much desired by Ger
many. Its vadIue mounts into Iail-
lions. Germany will seize It without
pay II America does not step into the
breach, according to proponents Of
the measure.
With the money which America
would pay for these supplies, Rus
siG would have an opportunity 20 do
much toward rehabilitation, 1t is ar
gued. Germany worked her will in
Russia largely through liberal use Of
money distributed judiciously by
group OF her agents, IT is pointed out
With Russia manifesting an increas-
ing enmity for Germany, this fnan-
cial aid might be the turning point in
the situation, it is held.
Want to Help.
The plan has been given very care
full consideration, but has not yet
been approved by Secretary Lansing.
However, there is a possibility that,
with some notifications, it will be
put into eject
The sentiment for some form OF
assistance to Russia at this time is
strong. The Japanese-Chinese de
fensive agreement apparently is held
in abeyance, but many authorities
here predict Intervention in Siberia
will come II the situation is allowed
70 drag. England and France are
known to be inspiring recent press

MORE THAN HALF
RED CROSS QUOTA
ALREADY RAISED

With ever-increasing speed the total
OF the Districts war service fund OF
the Red Cross mounted today.
Three hundred team workers who
met at the willard Hotel at noon re-
ported a grand total to date Ct $685.

workers this morning was S113,557.
Officials OF the great Red Cross

in their belief that the Districts
contribution to the hand reaching
across the ocean to minister to Amer
ica's soldiers will be upward Of one
million dollars. This is twice the
amount asked Of the National Capital
by the Red Cross
Made Record Yesterday.
Although yesterdays record for fund
raising probably stands unsurpassed In
the city. the team workers are confident
that the grand high total for today will
exceed the amount secured yesterday
an estimated $4,000.
President Wilson, It became known
today, has subscribed 1900 to the fund
The second days drive was fittingly
touched off last night by exercises in
