JEWISH CHARITY
NEEDS DECREASE
Local Organization Reports
Years Work-Effort to
Form Federation.

Need for charity among the Jews
of Washington has materially de-
creased during 1918. according to the
report of Lee Baumgarten, president
of the United Hebrew Charities. The
organization held its annual meeting
Thursday evening.
There were $40 applications made in
1917. to which the organization re-
sponded with aid. This year only $50
applied for relief.
Only one funeral case was taken
care of this year. Last year four
Jews were buried at the expense of
the organization.
Wearing apparel was given to 120
last year; this year eighteen applied
for such aid. Several other items
have been comparatively decreased.
Free Loan Department.
One of the activities of the organi-
cation is the free loan" department.
At the meeting last evening President
Baumgarten said more money was
needed in this fund.
Deservedly needy are loaned money
without interest. For instance, a
needy person applled lie" DAYS ago
for a twenty-five-dollar loan. He is
paying back in installments of S1.25 a
week. In twenty weeks he will have
paid the debt.
President Baumgarten said the poor
should be influenced 10 buy life insur-
arce. and if necessary that the charity
OF ganizatio pay premiums until the
principal again got ION his feet and De-
q me able to Jake up the payments.

a letter from Harl III. Coffee, we'll

through his former connection with the
Western Newspaper Union, and who
is now serving in France with the
Eighty-ninth division.
A small squad of American soldiers,
among them Mr.. Coffee. was resting
by the side of road, when a German
plane, flying very low. passed over and
began dropping hand grenades. The
Americans opened fire with their rifles
and chance shot struck the pilot in
the head, killing him instantly and
bringing the machine to the ground
with crash. This is the first instance
reported where an airplane has been
brought down with rifles. and 1t is not
likely TO be duplicated again unless

gets q chance shot home.

BIG U. S. NAVY BASE
Vast Establishment Maintained
on French Coast.
Is Composite of Navy Department
and of an American
Navy Yard.

American Naval Base, France
Here on this rugged Breton coast there
is an American naval establishment
which is sort of composite of the
busy activity of the navy department
at Washington and one of the big
navy yards on the American seaboard.
Vice Admiral Wilson, commanding
the American naval forces in French
waters, has his headquarters here,
with an executive staff quartered in
one of the largest buildings of the city,
fronting the Place President Wilson.
American bluejackets are on guard at
all the entrances, and steady files of
American naval officers and sailors
crowd the corridors on their various
duties.
Besides the rush of the port itself,
this is the naval administration GEN.
ter for 300 miles of the French coast,
divided into three districts, with a
number of the chief ports into which
the masses of American men and ma
terial are pouring.
Aside from the American transport
fleet which comes and goes, there is
standing personnel of officers and men
in these districts, with some eighty
ships-destroyers, repair ships, con-
verified yachts, mine-sweepers and
naval tugs. The shore establishment
is on the same extensive scale, with
aerodromes for balloons and airplanes,
great stacks of coal and mammoth
tanks for fuel oil.
Naval headquarters is in constant
wireless touch with the whole range
of this naval activity, along the 300
miles of front and far out to sea,
where the conveys are steadily NOV
ing in and out.
1t Is huge work this big establish
ment is carrying on. On the strictly
naval side are the defensive and Of
fensive observation-disclosures Of Ameri-
can and other allied shipping across
the Atlantic, and offensive In the war
of determination being made against
enemy submarines.
Outside of the naval operations there
is the steady march of vast naval
construction at all the ports along this
300 miles OF sea front, repair plants,
fuel stations, oil tanks, water works
and all the requirements of great
naval establishment which is constant
ly expanding.

NO UPPISHNESS ABOUT SIMS
American Admiral Acts as Guide to
Naval Wireless Operator
in London.

London.-There's nothing uppish
about Admiral Sims. Anybody who
has Joined the navy for the purpose
of helping lick the child killers looks
good to Sims.
Bill Swinger. former telegraph op
orator, now a first-class wireless OPP
orator, was Flooding YEARLY about the
Grosvenor Garden district trying to
find some one who could talk United
States and direct him to navy head
quarters, when big man with red
dish beard stopped him.
He talked United States and soon
found that Bill was hopelessly lost. 1t
isn't everybody who is directed about
London by an admiral, commander in
chief of Uncle Sans warning navy,
and Bill is rather pleased to have the
honor.
Sims got Swlnger's naval history in
few questions, then directed him to
his ''home port" which happened to
be 2S Grosvenor Gardens.

CLOSE HOLES IN MAcAR0NI
Uncle Sam Must Save Cargo Space
and That's Reason for
Innovation.

New York.-They've gone and abol-
ished the hole in macaroni in order to
save cargo space. They've gone and
done 1t! This startling report has
lust leaked back from France, and 1t
explains the recent strained ways of
the great city's macaroni, vermicelli
and spaghetti makers. Holeless maca-
roni? Most unnatural
However, Uncle Sam must save
cubic miles of room on his stupendous
transportation undertaking. Spaghetti,
without the vent, the hole, is just as
good, tastes even more solid and saves,
the diameters of it's former air spacing
reckoned In great bulk, many cubic
blocks of room. In the A. e. F. it
goes under the name of "wiggles."
What will New York's hard-pressed,
unconventional and temperamental
element do if veteran doughboys i'm
port a vogue on their triumphant re-
turn of 'wiggles," without holes, into
all the citys places of red ink and
this slippery SAVIOR?

The luxury tax will be paid when
the purchase is made. though the
price of the article may be charged,
if the customer has a credit account.
But, if the article is brought back,
perhaps as the occasion of another
trip to Oxford or Regent street, and
exchanged for something else, the war
tax must be paid on this second ar
ticle as well. or on the third or fourth,
if the exchange habit lasts that long.
