POWER PLANTS TO
Be BUILT. BY i. S.

Operation of electric power plants,
under Government control. at the coal
fields and water power sites OF the
country. to generate and transmit
electric energy to war plants and
shipping yards, is a definite prospect
of the immediate future.
Government activities from several
sources were directed yesterday to-
ward speeding Congressional action
on the emergency power bill-aimed
to, solve the present problem OF haul
ing coal from the mines and thereby
to relieve the increasing difficulties of
railroad transportation.
The Committee on Rules returned
a special rule giving the measure a
preferred position on the House calen-
dar. Representative Sims, in charge
of the bill, later stated that 1t would
be reached for consideration by the
House either today or Wednesday.
1t became known yesterday that
authorities, relying upon
the certainty of favorable Congress
sional action, have arranged for the
construction OF concrete emplace-
ments for the plants in various 10
calities in the vicinity Of the coal
felds and water sites. It further was
stated that the necessary machinery
has been ordered In advance and pri-
ority orders secured for its prompt
shipment.
In addition. the report Of Govern
ment experts who have been making
an exhaustive study OF the project,
declaring II to be necessary and
wholly practicable as an emergency
war measure, was made public
Copies of this report were hurried to
both branches of Congress, so that
members and Senators would have an
to become acquainted
with the tremendous advantages in
saving of railroad hauling OF coal and
the generation of an adequate power
suRply.

DICTIONARIES OFF
FOR CLEVELAND

The legionaries have gone and
CleveIand's gain is washington's loss.
A train bearing them to the Ohio city
left the Union Station at s o'clock
last night.
Before they left, however, there
were demonstrations which doubt
less will forever remain among
the treasured memories of the foreign
fighters.
when they entered the Senate
chamber yesterday that august body
maintained its mantle of dignity un-
ruffied, but when they entered the
House Congressman Medley broke of
a speech to make an impromptu ad-
dress 81 welcome, and the House re-
cessed for ten minutes to cheer.
And then they went out into the
sunlight OF Capitol Hill and marched
down Pennsylvania avenue between
lines OF people to the statue of brave
Lafayette, where the flag of their
legion was unfurled.
Then they captured the White
House and shook hands with Presi-
dent Wilson, and later with Acting
Secretary OF War Crowell and Gen
eral March. Everything considered,
1t was the "end OF a perfect day."

opinion voiced by interpreters with

US. CONSU[.POOLE
IS OUT Of RUSSIA

Consul General Poole at Moscow
has reached Helsingfors and will be
in Stockholm tomorrow, the State
Department was advised today.
His departure from the Bolshevik
capital resulted from direct orders
from Secretary Lansing, who was
fearful for PQole's safety. There
were rumors that the Bolsheviki
were besieging the consulate general
because II sheltered British and
French refugees. Subsequent advices
have tended to dlsprove this, but
Poole's life was thought to be in
danger, because OF the bloodshed In
Moscow.
The consul general at Christians
reported that the Norwegian consuls
at Moscow and Petrograd had work.
ed untiringly in American interests
and because OF their insistence upon
observance of American rights they
had saved the Americans from seri-
Gus difficulties.

C. v. j. EXPECTS
BIG ENROLMENT

All ten branches OF George Wash
ington University will open tomor-
row. Despite the fact that hundreds
OF students have left their studies
to enter the military service, officials
expect the registration to be the
largest in the history Of the institu-
ton.
The increase in registration is ex-
pected principally because OF the in
fiux Of war workers, many of whom
are able to attend after-office classes.
These classes commence at $40 and
8 p m.
Although the biggest increase will
be in the late afternoon classes, 1t is
expected the enrolment in the day
classes also will show a growth, due
&c the establishment of a unit of the
students army training corps. Stu
dents desiring to enter the unit will
register in the usual way and COM

KAMERAD P|STOL"
ISHUN ATROCITY

CAMP MEADE. Nd, September "a
A ''kamerad pistol" was displayed at
the artillery headquarters by an
artillery officer just returning from
overseas. It stirred every man who
saw 1t just as many were first stirred
by German atrocities. To many this
little device Is the greatest atrocity
of all. The 'fkamerad pistol" is a
weapon by which a Hun who has sur
rendered may kill his eaptor while he
holds his hands upward as evidence
that he is at the mercy Of the man be-
fore him. 1t is an instrument by which
