President Wilson is commander-in-
chief of the American army and navy

his ranks, and the first duty OF a
soldier is to obey, declared Represen-
tative John r. Farr, Of Pennsylvania
last night before a meeting OF the
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
ton, in an appeal for 100 per cent
pure support of the nations war pro-
gram. by every individual.
Germany, he denominated. as that
mighty octopus of tyrany with de-
signs on the liberties of the world
Continuing he said, that America
was an object of Prussian conquest,
there is now no dispute. England's
navy saved our freedom, and without
this protection there is no reason why
Washington or New York should not
have been invaded by hordes of Huns
We had to enter the war and we must
go in for all we are worth.
The regular business meeting of the
Association was held prior To- Mr..
Farr's address. Secretary ]. Clinton
Hiatt introduced resolutions calling
for the installation of a modern
lighting system on Fourteenth street,
between U and Shepherd streets. and
requesting new sidewalks on certain
parts of Fourteenth and Sixteenth
streets, which were adopted. He re-
ported also that enthusiasm and in
terest were being manifested in war
gardens by Columbia Heights resi-
dents. Pres. Fred ]. Rice was in
structed to renew his efforts to Sc
cure classified postoffice for that
section. A resolution by ]. J. Lam
caster urging immediate improve
ments in Meridian Hill Park, was en-
dorsed.

DEPLORES SHORTAGE
OF TRAINED AIRMEN
Aero Club of America Writes VIII
son on Conditions.

New York. April 2.-President Will
sons attention was directed, in a let
ter sent him today by Alan R. Haw-
ley, president of the Aero Club of
America, to the refusal of the Signal
Corps to accept further enlistments
for air service. Mr.. Hawley main
tanned in his letter that this attitude
of the Signal Corps was assumed de-
spite the fact that but one-sixth of the
needed aviators are in training.
I'm answer to our inquiries" Mr..
Hawley wrote. I'VE were advised that
the reason no further enlistments
were accepted for the air service is
that there is lack of training fields
and of aeronautic equipment, and
that these cannot be provided be-
cause there are no funds available
for the extension of the air service.
This Is only one of the evidences
that the aircraft program is slowing
down because of lack of funds. We
submit, Mr.. President, that this is
a mournful condition which threatens
the cause of the allies more seriously
than anything else

MANY-PHASED
SHOW N HERE
Noted Artists Exhibits Line
Walls Of Corcoran
Gallery Room.

War posters by the artists of Amer
lea line the walls of the Hemicycle
Room in the Corcoran Art Gallery.
The exhibit was opened yesterday
and will continue for ten days
Among the contributions Of noted
artists. those of Henry ReuterdahL
J. C. LeSendecker. and Henry Ra-
leigh stand out, for their art is peeu-
harly well adapted to the poster
while, on the other hand, for in
stance, Charles Dana Gibson's
poster Is splendid in conception and
execution, it does not possess the
broad sweep and audacious colorinS
essential to a forceful poster.
Sea Pictures Good.
Best among ReuterdahPs exhibits
are pictures of foaming green seas
ploughed by super-dreadnoughts of
the allies. and of the rollicking, hard
bitten tars of seven seas.
Henry Raleigh has two posters red
olent of the new Armageddon of
Europe. Halt the Hun" and Blood
or Bread are their titles.
Leyendecker. noted as he is for the
humanity OF his drawing. has produced
posters worthy of his reputation. His
Liberty is a modern goddess, no less
divine in clean strength and fearless
ness because she takes the great, shin
ing sword of war from the hands of
the eager Boy Scout, typical of Amer
lean youth. Another poster of Ley
endecker's, designed for naval recruit
ing, excels by its sincere emotional
appeal, showing a really human Co
lumbia bidding godspeed to sailor
boy.
Frank BTangwyn is represented by a
finely done study OF survivors huddled
in a lifeboat. The girls of Howard
Chandler Christy are, of course, TAX
ing in recruiting posters. Milton Ban
croft has on exhibit a remarkably ef-
fective navy recruiting poster depict
ing sailor bugler against a back
ground of black clouds and looming
battleships.
Exhibition Has Wide Scope.
Practically every phase of govern
ment propaganda was represented in
the poster collection. which comprised
pictorial publicity for army and navy
recruiting. Liberty Bonds, war saw
ings and thrift stamps, the Food Ad-
ministration. Boys Working Reserve,
Shipping Board. Y. W. c. A, and
Four-Milute Men.
Many Of the posters were new, while
others were the originals of those
which have been used all over the
country. such as Howard Chandler
Christy's Gee, Wish was a Man"
and Herbert Paus' notable Save Your
Child from: Autocracy and Poverty" +"

Series of Shares Should Attract
Investors.

The annual meeting of the Putnam
Building & Loan Association was
postponed from Tuesday night to
next month, when officers will be
elected
The association has had most
successful year and an annual divi-
dend at the rate Of five per cent, com
pound interest, has been declared
While the earnings have been large
enough to allow a seven per cent
dividend it was thought advisable to
carry the extra earnings in the sur
plus account
The fifth series Of shares has been
issued This attractive investment and
systematic savings ought to attract
u large number of investors The
money is absolutely safe and the rate
of interest Is more than can he had
ON most investments There are re
quests for loans ON hand and more
money is needed
Some people think that it does not
amount to much If they only take one
OF two shares This would be true
from the associations point of view
if these were isolated eases. but if
several hundred make small invest
meuts the aggregate is we'll worth
while.
Shares may be had at the office Of
Torey 4 Geissler, Elm street Now
is the opportunity to begin systemat-
ic saving in an investment that is
sound. pays good dividends, and helps
through loans, Putnam people to
