youths. who have for several years
satisfied their yearning for noise and
pyrotechnics by excursions into the
neIghboring counties, will find no

the war.
The time honored Chinese crackers
and the tiny Jap" ones are to be
plentiful There is no dearth OF tor

an inch in diameter has been placed
upon these. but they are still OF suf-

In most cases the sale OF fireworks
will not begin until seven days be-

The manufacture and sale OF all
Fourth OF July crackers and pyro-

control OF the Bureau OF Mines. The
Government experts found that the

were OF an inferior grade and did not

COAL ON HAND MUST
Be SOLD AT OLD RATE

Washington coal dealers will not
be permitted to add the increased
freight rate. effective tomorrow. on
coal that is now in their yards, on
dumps, or en- route to this city.
Regulations have been Issued by the
fuel administration providing that
the increase, which in Washington
will be % cents a ton. can only be
applied upon coal upon which the
advanced freight rate has actually
been paid by the dealer.
It has been a common business
practice in the past for retailers in
any line to get the advantage OF a
rising market, but the coal dealers
will be held to strict account on their
costs and margins.
In many instances. however. il will
be a matter Of but a few days before
Washington residents begin paying
the higher rate. as dealers are deliv-
ering coal on early orders as fast as
IL reaches their yards. and will start
right in on the delivery OF the higher
rate coal.

TWOFOUND UNFIT
AMONG CANDIDATES
At NAVAL ACADEMY

ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 24.-Due
largely to the fact that the Naval
Academy authorities took steps to
warn youths who wished to be mid
shipmen to have themselves thor
oughly examined physically before
coming to Annapolis for the official
tests, the percentage OF failures be-
fore the examining board is very
small.
In fact, it is hardly one-half Of the
average for some years. The general
average for some years past has been
about 10 or II per cent, and the per-
centage Of absolute failures this year.
up to the present, has barely reached
) per cent.
There have been some cases OF
minor troubles. such as enlarged ton
sils or slight eye defects, where the
candidate has been directed to have a
sIight operation performed and re-
turn for a further examination.
There have also been one or two
failures for color blindness.

sion between Washington merchants
and mess sergeants. involving q food
graft ring at Washington Barracks
and Camp Humphreys. Va.
Officers in the quartsrmaster gen
erals office say that changes in the
system Of buying food probably win

At present mess sergeants buy food

found faulty.
Prosecution Delayed
The Government today delayed the
prosecution of Morris Within, owner
Of the Within Meat Company, and
Louisiana avenue northwest, and
Henry B. Terrett, Wholesale and re-
tail meat dealer, OF $50 Louisiana ave
nue., charged with violation Of section
IS OF the penal code, which deals with
attempts to defraud the Government.
The prosecution desires more time in
which to prepare the cases against
the food dealers.
The two dealers were released
Saturday on $1,000 bail to appear In
Police Court this morning. Assistant
District Attorney Ralph Given ap-
proved OF a postponement United
States District Attorney Laskey said
that witnesses will be called to tes-

ENPANSIONIN
RUSSIA WILL
Be ASKED IN
FOEPROPOSAL

Germany is preparing for Wig
orous peace move-at the expense
of Russia.
To meet this anticipated move a
tremendous effort is being made to
bring about unity Of purpose be-
tween the United States, France, and
England on the question of aid for
Russia. England and France today
are carrying on the strongest pos
sible propaganda to swing the
United States Government to favor
American-Japanese or allied inter
vention.
President Waits.
President Wilson is said, upon ex-
cellent authority. to have made no
change in his determination not to
intervene in Russia now. He is de-
termined to save Russia, if possible.
from Germany. But he wants a con-
certed allied effort that will succeed
when made.
1t appears likely now that this
country will soon suggest an allied
mission to go to Russia, mingle with
the people there and try to learn just
how Russia needs and wants to be
helped.
The need for some agreed policy
Is admitted. Germany, by launching
peace offensive, offering to give up
Belgium, northern France and make
satisfactory settlements with Italy
provided she be allowed to expand in
Russia, would confront the French
and British governments with a very
serious problem.
