DIFFICULTY IN LANDING
 AT THE DOCK
Number of Tugs and Boom of Logs and High Wind Cause Delay Land-
 ing Alaska.

The steamer Alaska, which arrived this morning at 8:30 from the south was unable to land at the dock un- til nearly noon. There were several gas boats tied at the docks on both sides of the landing place of the Alaska, with a boom of logs also in the way, which combined with the high wind and tide, made it almost impossible to effect a landing. It was necessary to get the help of the tug Anna Barron, which was lying at one of the docks, before the Alas ka could make the wharf. The re- port which quickly spread about the town that the Alaska had case of smallpox on board was entirely with out foundation.
 The arrivals on the Alaska were: Mrs. O. c. Berry, Lewis P. Shackle- ford, Mrs l.. P. Shackleford, Miss Shackleford, Master Shackleford, 4. Van Mavern, Mrs. Mary Foote, M Graboark, w. B. Wiser, Miss Marie Nelson, Agnes M. Anderson, Joe Maxt, A. Koskey and J. M. Tannel

EXPECT GREAT CHANGE
IN STREET CAR SERVICE.
Traffic Expert and Officials Look for
Immense Improvement by
Staggered Hours.

Washington will not recognize its
street car service after the influenza
epidemic is passed and the staggered
hour system is in full swing.
This is the unanimous verdict of
Traffic Expert John A. Beeler and all
the officials of the public utilities
commission and the street car COM
panies.
Even with large number of cars
men and conductors being down with
influenza. staggered hours have made
possible an immense improvement in
service. This improvement will be
much more apparent when the full
operating crews are again at work.
The food and fuel administrations
have adopted $50 and $50 o'clock
The war risk bureau is considering
the adoption of 9:20 o'clock as its
opening hour.
Urges More for $50 Schedule.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Beeler that
one or two more departments should
adopt the $50 o'clock time, in order
that the rush hour demands may be
most effectively and evenly distrib-
uted.
Every effort is being made by the
street car companies to rush the ship
ment to Washington of the new cars
ordered. Representatives of both COM
panies will be in Cleveland tomorrow
to test two of the cars which, If sat
isfactory. will be shipped ifnme-
diately. 1t is expected that all of the
new rolling stock ordered, consisting
of seventy cars, will be operating in
Washington well in advance of
Christmas.

"FEAR NO HUM" SAID D. c.
MAN ON DEATH FLIGHT
Lieut.. James Bowyer Was Former
Student at George Washington
University.

eve are going to be real busy in a
few hours. 1 have 10000 rounds OF
ammunition, guns all set, motor hum
ming like top and fear no Hun"
That is the brief message Of Lieut..
James Bowyer, former student OF
George Washington University, before
he went into a famous air battle in
which he lost his life over the western
lines on September IL.
Lieut.. Bowyer was born in 1896 at
Yankton, S. D., where his parents,
three brothers and three sisters are
living today. He entered the mechan-
ical engineering class four years ago
at George Washington University and
attended until war broke out, when he
entered the first officers training camp
at Fort Myer.
He was commissioned and sailed for
England last February. While in the
British Isles he was given additional
instruction by the Royal Flying Corps
at fields in Scotland and England. He
was.sent to France for combatant duty
last July.
Sailing in the first aero squadron to
use the "made-in-America" Liberty
planes he had many thrilling expert
ences during the allied advance i'll the
region of Chateau Thierry.
Writing about the impending air
battle in which he lost his life. he
told:
Il am on contact patrol or infantry
liaison. That means flying through
four of our barrages and three of the
enemy, besides machine gun bullets
from the ground. It's tough, but it
has to be done. I am the first up
to bat and 1 will see the opening in
ming. It's great stuff and no one is
going to weaken"
Word of the fatal flight was re-
ceived here by his sister-in-law, Mrs.
E. 2. Bowyer, 1410 Euclid street, last
evening.

Antelope Prescription Law.

To the Editor of The Star.
In view of the alarming conditions ex-
listing in this city by reason of Span
ish influenza and the great strain placed
upon the physicians. would it not be
we'll to suspend for the time being the
law now in force whereby prescriptions
that contain dope are not allowed to be
refllled except OH a new prescription
made out by physician?
These refilling prescriptions take up a
lot of the patients time and also that
of the physician, who is besieged i'll his
office by people requiring prescriptions
renewed, whereas if this law was sus-
pended the patient or a member of his
or her family could take the bottle or
pill box to the druggist, as in the good
old days. and have it refilled there, thus
saving much valuable time for all par
ties concerned. Physicians would then
have more time to devote to new pa
tients. and it would expedite matters
considerably. REVERE RODGERS.

Replace Destroyed Ships.

To the Editor Of The Stur
1t has seemed to me that all sus-
gestions of terms of peace have lacked
one important item, and that is that
Germany be compelled to replace to
the allies. ton for ton, of merchant
shipping which she has destroyed
contrary to international law as far
as her fleet will go. 1t is apparent to
all that Germany has a double purpose
in workmanship sinking. First, to
prevent their present use by the allies;
second. their use in commerce after
the war. 1t is evidently their inten-
ton to have a large fleet for German
commerce after the wNr while the
allies are handicapped by a shortage.
Let the allies see to it that this is an
other German mistake.

Anti-Induenza Gauze Masks.

To the Editor of The Star.
To combat the influenza epidemic
there should be an extension of the
use of the gauze mask from doctors
and nurses to all persons who are
compelled by business or work to
mingle in crowds or to ride in ILL
ventilated trolleys and trains. 1t
should be recognized that doctors and
nurses. however able and plentiful,
can work only for the cure of cases,
whereas to stem and extinguish the
plague a method of cutting off the
supply of new cases is needed. If a
successful serum is found, that will
do it; if not, the mask is the best
and surest preventive substitute.
Used now, while the serums are in
complete, it would save thousands of
lives. so that it's general adoption by
order of municipal authorities should
not be delayed.

Where Is He?

The Germans lose on every
front; they make a botch of
every stunt their morale is to
pieces shot-where is the good
old German gott? The term is
Kaiser Bills, not mine; l do not
think it good or fine; it is lr-
reverent, profane, the output of
an added brain; but if there is a
German gott, who smiled on all
the damage wrought and would
the German crimes allow, where
is that good old gott right now?
Perhaps he's tired of standing
back of such a false and cruel
pack, of Prussia's stained, dis
honored flag, of Williams loud
and endless brag, in which gott
takes a second place if Hohen-
zollern shows his face. The
kaiser's hosts are ON the run,
they're losing all the ground
they won, and "Kamerad!" they
meekly whine, as they go pelting
for the Rhine. How does the
pious kaiser feel as he beholds
them drop their steel and strike
the hardest kind of trot? Where
is his good old German gott" !?
When victories were coming
thick, twas "Me und gott" that
did the trick; and now that
every written sheet brings Will
helm tidings of defeat, he'll
doubtless think that phrase is
rot, and charge up all the blame
to gott. Can any nation hope to
win that quotes Jehovah with a
grin? WALT MASON.
