The standing room only sign was dis
Nlayed yesterday afternoon at Central

ssmblage that taxed the capacity OF the
big hall participated in the second com
munity sing under the auspices of the

Gilbert Wilson, song leader at the ma
rine environment at ouantico. Va, and
Kenneth Clark. who has charge of the

yesterday, the singers responding with
more enthusiasm than when they were
forced, through not knowing the words

innovation was the singing of the Mar

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
 DOCTORS FIND REMEDY

Physicians and druggists are elat- ed over the fact that they have at last found a genuine and dependable remedy for colds, sore threat, influ- enza and la grippe. For years they have depended chiefly upon the old style calomel, which is certainly fine. but unfortunately many people would not take it because of it's rauseating and dangerous qualities.
 Now that the pharmaceutical chem ists have perfected nausealess calo- mel, called "Calotabs" whose medici- nal virtues are vastly improved, the doctors and druggists are claiming that Calotabs are the ideal remedy to abort cold over night and cut short an attack of sore throt, influ- enza or la grippe. They are also finding it most effective as the first step in the treatment of pneumonnia One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water,- tbat's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with youl eating or your work and pleaure The next morning your cold has van :; ished and your whole system is puri l fled and refreshed Calotabs arc sold only in original sealed pack ages; price thriyt-five cents. You druggist recommends and guarantee: them by refunding the price if yol arc not delighted.-adv.

DUTIES NOT CHANGED BY
 ARMISTICE TERMS

Washington, Nov. 2O.--A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian, ln a statement tonight said the signing of the armistice does not change his functions or affect his policies in any way.
 "The United States and Germany said Mir. Palmer, "are still at war, and the trading gwith-the-enemy act is still in force. The alien property custodian will, therefore, continue to perform his duties which that act lays upon him, and will carry the evident intent of the congress with relation to enemy property until final peace shall come.
 "As long as the trading with the enemy act is ill force, it remains the duty of all perons having custody of enemy property in this country, to make report thereof to the alien pro- perty custodian. Despite the fact that the time for making these re- ports has long been expired. reports are still coming to this office and there is much property not yet re- ported. Persans having the custody of enemy property are making them selves liable to prosecution under tht act for failure to report it and this liability will continue even after thu treaty of peace shall have beer made'.'

RI]RLESON TELLS 0F
 TAKING OVER CABLE LINES BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, Nov. 20.-postmaster General Burleson issued a statement yesterday outlining what he charac- terized as "thc determining factors" which led to the taking over of cable system November Ind, under the joint resolution of congress authorizing government control and operation ot telephone, telegraph, cable and radio systems in this country.
 Land telegraph lines, already had been taken over by tho government and Mir. Burleson said the necessity for continuity and common control between such systems and the cable lines has been most conclusively shown, by the fact that both the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies have their independent cable systems and have contractural relations with other cable companies which make those lines more or less part of the country's telegraph system.
 "There never was a time in the history of this war; said Mir. Burle- sons statement, which called for such a close control of the cable sys- tems as today, and will continue dur ing the period of readiustment. The absolute necessity of uninterrupted continuous communication should be apparent to all.

BULGARIA s FUTURE
 HANGS ON SOLUTION ,.&
 0f BALKAN PROBLEM
M. Guechoff Says Wilson's Eleventh Point Induced Bulgaria to
 Quit.

Geneva, Nov. 19.-(By the Assocci ated Press. )-"The future of Bulga- ria will depend mainly upon the sOlu- tion which will shortly be given to the Balkan problem" said M. Guech- off, the former premier of Bulgaria in all interview with the Associated Press today We, as the Bulgarian opposition ill 1915 did our best to pre- vent King Ferdinand from joining with Germany. However, we did not succeed because tbe allies took too long i:l landing fcrces at Saloniki in order to impress the Bulgarians.
 "Wher we gave extensive publicity to President Wilson's program of anuary Sth, 1918, our people,. who before and during the war were with the opposition, saw that article elev- en contained the basis on which d just and lasting settlement of our questions could be secured.' (The evelenth point of President Wilson's program declared that Ru- be evacuated; occupied territories re- stored. and the relations of the sev- l aral Balkan states to one another de- termined by friendly counsel, along historically established lines of allie l giancec and nationality; and interna- tional guarantees of the political and economic independence and terri torial integrity of the several Bal kan states should be entered into
 Further fully believeing that Pre- sident Wilson would insist on carry ing out his program, we came to the I conclusion that to continue fightine would be useless and refused las September to fight against the allies and thereby brought a1ous the Bull l garian armistice, which shortened tho 1 war.
 Bulgaria will be content and vii
 be ready to enter a Paik3l confed eration.
 Tt may be submitted that th allies have conquered Macedonia, Dll ] is it might or right that will de eide this question? As our neghDor will receive large compensation else
 where, there is reason why Buleari should be parttioned now as she Wa
 partitioned in 1878 at the cOngres
 of Berlin and thereby the iruustriou
 thrifty, sober Bulgarian people vii become members of peaceful an
 prosperous country"
 MT. Gucchoff expressed the hop
 hope that the present minister C
 foreign affairs would meet Presider
 Wilson in Europe and explain to hil
 the real situation in Bulgaria, whic
 he was of the opinion, was not know . in America.
 Only by the help of President Wi son, added the former minister, coul > Bulgaria hope in the future to aris
 to be great nation.
