HELLO GIRLS" IN FRANCE
Do NOT LIKE THAT NAME
To Be Known Officially as Woman's
Telephone Unit of American
Signal Corps.

American telephone girls in France
have registered the same kind of pro-
test against nicknames that the SOL
diers have, y. w. c. A. representa-
tives here have announced.
The War Department has trans
mitted their protest against the
hello girls" appellation. Hereafter,
according to official statement. they
are to be known as the Woman
Telephone Unit of the American Sig
nal Corps.
Two homes for these girls have
been opened by the Y. w. c. A, one
at SO Rue Hamelin, Paris. formerly
the Hotel Ferras, in charge of Mrs
Lulu Prick Taylor of Detroit. and the
other at Tours, formerly the Hotel
Moderne, in charge Of Miss Elizabeth
+. Fox of New York.
The girls operate typical American
telephone exchanges, installed by
American telephone men, and handle
all telephone connections for the diff
ferent departments of the American
Expeditionary Force between head
quarters and the different bases. The
homes and foyers provided for the
girls were all established by the

THINKS WAR WILL BE WON
BY THE AUTUMN OF 1919
Representative C. F. Reaeis Makes
Prediction in Address at Eighth
Street Hebrew Temple.

Representative c. F. Reavis, speak
pie during services celebrating the
third day of the Jewish new year. de-
clared that the war will be won by
1919.
II predict that with the Army which
the United States will have in France
next spring, fully equipped and with
ample aircraft supply, the war can
be brught to an end by the autumn
of 1919" said Mr.. Reavis. The war
lords of Germany are convinced of
the impossibility of winning this war,
but the German people are kept in
ignorance of the true condition.
Mr.. Reavis, who recently returned
from the European war zone. told of
his experiences there and discussed
Americas preparation for war. He
went into the psychological aspects;
of the average German mind today
relative to the. war and its final out
come.
He told that our preparation in so
short q time far eXceeled the pro-
gram of any other nation, with the
exception of aircraft production. He
in this country hangers. base units
and hospitals have been and are being
built across the seas.
Speaking of the bilIeting of Ameri-
can soldiers with the peasant folk of
France, he said the average soldier
mind has been broadened. Mr.. Reavis
told of being in American trenches on
German soil, from which lie could see
the valley of the Rhine and the IA
nous Black Forest of Germany.
Telling of the peace drive which ex-
perts of diplomacy have predicted will
be started by the imperial government
of Germany soon, the speaker stated
his belief that it will manifest itself
in the form of pleas from neutral coun-
tries that the interests of humanity
ought to prompt the warning nations
to bring the war to an end. He sd id
this propaganda will be inspired by
beaten Germany. and declared that if
the allied nations permit the war to
he ended with the German army on
foreign soil and with the German peo-
pie believing the Germans to be vic
torious every life that has been lost
and every dollar that has been spent to
win the war will have been wasted.

RECREATION is PROVIDED
FOR COLORED SOLDIERS
Community Service to Entertain
Twice a Week Here and
Once at Camps.

Under the direction of Frank Wells,
secretary, plans have been formulated
by the District colored war camp
community service for an elaborate
reoreational program for colored SOL
diers in Washington this fall. The
program had its Inauguration last
night, when soldiers from Camps
Humphreys and Meade and the train
ing camp at Howard University were
entertained by the Darktown Follies
theatrical troupe, at the Colored War
Camp Service Club, 1884 14th street
northwest.
There are to be amusements every
Wednesday and Saturday night at the
club and, in addition, an entertain
ment will be provided once a week at
each Of the three camps. A fund of
$500, raised by the service organiza-
ton, has been invested in musical in
struments for permanent band at
Howard University camp
Wells, who has long been an en-
ploye of the District government
handed brought about the organiza-
ton of the colored war camp COM
muntty service in the District. It
was due almost entirely to his init
alive that club was opened and that
$50 colored soldiers from the south,
stationed at Camp Humphreys. who
had never seen the Capital. were
brought to Washington on sight
seeing tour and entertained at the
club a few weeks ago. He has worked
day and night with the draft forces
of the District and. in appreciation
OF his services. the Commissioners,
last week, gave him a promotion at
a considerable increase in salary.

AUTOISTS HERE IMPROVE
"GASOLINELESS" RECORD
They Observe Request More Closely
Yesterday Than on the Pre-
vious Sabbath.

"Gasolineless" Sunday was observed
in Washington yesterday even more
closely than on the preceding Sab
bath, and as a result great saving
was effected in this city.
Aside from the patriotic inclina-
ton of the owners of automobiles
and those persons who are fond of
using taxicabs, the rainy weather
proved an ally of the fuel admins
tration, since it was far too wet and
disagreeab1e for the few who would
probably have disregarded the re-
quest of the fuel administrator.
So satisfactory was Washington's
response week ago that the police
were relieved yesterday of the duty
of stopping autoists who appeared on
the streets and questioning their
drivers. The police department an
Eounced today that it was especially
proud of the way in which the appeal
was complied with here. 1t was point
ed out that, if future gasolineless
Sundays are observed as strictly as
Yesterday was there will be no cause
for worry SO far as waste of gasoline
is concerned.

PRIZES may Be GIVEN
FOR DEATH TO RODENTS
Council Of National Defense Shows
How Rats and Mice Destroy
Products Of Industry.

A nationwide campaign to ex-
terminate rats and mice has been
launched by the Council of National
Defense. through it's state and county
councils The saving of food. reduce
ton in fire loss and protection from
the spread of disease are the princi-
pal detectives Of the government in
its drive against the rodents.
Rats and mice consume annually
food that it takes 100000 men to pro-
duce." the defense council asserts.
"They destroy property. increase the
fre risk and menace health. We have
indifferently allowed this serious
drain upon our resources to develop.
although it is subject to scientific at
tack and control.
Now, when we are straininS every
effort to conserve food. a nation
wide intensive campaign for the eX-
termination OF rats and mice is i'm
perative."
The national council advises state
councils to impress the movement
especially upon men who deal in
foodstuffs. to make their stores and
warehouses ratproo1. FIRE mafShaiS
in big cities also will be called upon
to cooperate by explaining to BUSH
ness men how mice and rats start dis
astrOus fires.
The national council even suggests
that state councils create competition
in the determination of the pests by
offering prizes. Every one will be
urged to keep cellars and attics clear
of rubbish, which adds to the fire risk
when rats or mice are prevalent.
The District council. of defense has
received the national councils appeal
and is urging Washington to do its
part in wiping out rodents.

TO AVOID DUPLICATION.
War Savings and Liberty Loan
Committees Coordinate Activities.

To coordinate and eventually to
consolidate the activities of the war
savings stamp and the liberty loan
committees the former has been
placed under the supervision of the
federal reserve banks, according to
announcement by Secretary McAdoo.
This plan is expected to eliminate
duplication and perhaps decrease the
expenses of operations. 1t was adopt
ed by the Secretary at the suggestion
of Frank A. Vanderlip. chairman of
the war savings organization.
The governor of each federal re-
serve bank will be appointed a di-
rector of war savings. and will have
supervision of all war savings
activities in his district, thus oc-
cupying the same relation to the
war savings organization as he does
to the liberty loan organization.

Bad Roads.

Il travel much in autos; by
woods and fields and grottoes l
take my stately way, and see
the highway builders blow IN
our hard earned guilders on
roads that do not pay. They're
always fixing. fixing, the dirt and
rubble mixing, all summer they
lave toiled: and then there
comes a torrert-the. fact is most
abhorrent-and all their work is
spoiled. Their road is washed
to thunder; and they repeat their
blunder, they build it up again !;
they cut their bootless capers
with graders and with scrapers,
misguided sons OF men. The
roads are dragged and graded,
and manicured and spaded, and
when it rains they're done; the
money that's been squandered on
roads DER which I've wandered
in gold, would weigh ton. Our
roads are dreary hzzles. although
with planes and chisels we
smooth them, year by year; for
money always calling. they're
good till rain is falling, and then
they disappear. When this grim
war is ended methinks it will be
splendid if we get down to tacks,
and build some modern high
ways. forsaking muddy byways,
and rutty cattle tracks. | travel
much in motors and Oft | see the
voters sunk shoulder deep in
mud: respect for morals losing,
the language they are using
