HELD AT
TURK CAPITAL
ARE ALL WELL
Two D. c. Boys Among
Interned Personnel of
U. S. S. Scorpion.

Two Washington boys, ''buddies.' %
are interned with the crew OF the
U. S. 8. Scorpion at Constantinople.
from which good news has just been
received through the royal Swedish
legation at Constantinople by the
Navy Department.
The boys are Karl E. Boehmer, sea-
man, 53l Twelfth street northeast. and
Hugh I. G. Mcdonald, 1910 / street
northeast.
The report states that the Scorpion
has been removed to a new anchorage
that is healthier and more agreeable
in location than the former moor
ing; there are numerous books aboard
the ship. the Constantinople news
papers are available. and crews are
allowed to play football on the drill
grounds of the ministry Of marine.
Lack News From Home.
The mems chief requests are for
more news from home and more shore
leave. There are no cases of illness
aboard, says the report. Every two
week two officers and seven members
Of the enlisted personnel are allowed
TO visit the city under escort.
Karl E. Boehmer has been in the
navy five years. He was in Turkish
waters on the Idaho when war was
declared.
Mr.. Boehmer's mother is Mrs. L. e.
Boehmer; his sister. Mrs. c. A.

British Entry Into Bapaume
of Great Moment.

London. Aug. 25.-British entry into
Bapaume marks one of the important
events Of the whole war. The town
lies fourteen miles south of Arras
and eleven and a half miles north
east Of Albert
From Bapaume- to the French fort
ress of Maubeuge, just inside the
Franco-Belgian frontier, it Is Just
fifty miles.
Moreover, at Bapaume. the British
now stand a little less than twenty
eight miles northeast of Amiens. On
August 8, when the Picardy offensive
broke loose, the Germans, just out
side Corbie, stood a bare ten miles
to the east Of that vital allied base.
Bapaume's fall, therefore, means a
maximum British eastward penetra-
ton Of nineteen miles in eighteen
days.
For the French the closing of Byng's
clutch around Bapaume represents an
achievement OF the highest moral
value For It was at Bapaume that
the Prussians defeated the French on
January 3, 1911. in one of the bloodiest
battles Of the Franco-Prussian war.
Thus, as Byng Is driving ahead to-
ward Cambria. wreaking vengeance
upon the Teutons for the blow they
dealt him last fall after his tank
drive he is at thessame time aveng-
ing Britain's ally.

WANT EXHIBITS
OPENED AFTER
OFFICE HOURS
War Workers Complain
They Cannot Enjoy the
Sights Of City.

Washington war workers are ask
ing that the hours Of the city's fa-
nous art galleries, museums and
public buildings be changed so that
war workers may enjoy them.
The Smithsonian. the horticultural
Garden, the old National MUSEUM. the
Pan American Building, the Monu-
ment, the Corcoran Art Gallery and
hosts of other educational and in
teresting places in Washington close
at 4:So o'clock. They ask that this
hour be made or later.
The war workers. who have come
from cities, big and little. from San
Francisco and New York, Illinois and
Texas, have come to help the gov
ernment, but, almost without excep.
tion, to broaden their own horizon
as well.
And whether they have been around
the world or lived all their short lives
in Kalamazoo they have never seen
treasures more interesting than those
in the Queen City.
But these treasures remain to tine
a sealed book in many instances
where the places are not open on
Saturday afternoon and Sunday. In
any case the places are too thronged
for comfort on thos holidays.
Buildings Could Open Later.
II the buildings and exhibits could
be open from 4 to s or even in the
evening the lonesome and studious
worker could put his or her time
in profitably and enjoyably instad OF
moping about a boarding house or
going to the eternal movie.
Realizing that this might work a
hardship on the attendants. the war
workers suggest that the opening
hours be made later in the day. Every
one is sacrificing now and surely the
people in charge would not complain
at a change which would benefit so
many and make the monotony of the
work of the clerk more bearable.

starting last night at O'Clock at the
plant of the Green River Distilling
Company here. by 1880 o'clock had
destroyed the entire plant, 1900 bar
rels of whisky and entailed a loss
well to excess of 5000, coo.
The whisky alone was valued at
S,S4oo0 and the loss to the United
States Government in taxes is an
proximately S6.750.O0O.
The fire was spectacular, the flames
mounting hundreds of feet in the air.
Every few minutes a blazing barrel
of whisky, driven upward by the ex-
plosion of other barrels, would rise to
a great height and then fan. When
1t struck the whisky 1t contained
would spread over the ground in
blazing sheet. Burning streams of
whisky ran through the bitches of
the open fields into the Ohio river,
the whole surface of which seemed
at times to be on fire.
