a young man, a stranger,
came to live here because he
could be near the hospital
where his wife has been lying
seriously i'll for many weeks.
He did not speak about his
worries or anxieties, but we all
surmised that he needed the
cheer Of friendly companion
snip so we took him into the
nelleclaire family circle and
made him feel at home.
he has said many times that
ne could not have endured the
strain if he had been compelled
10 dine alone. or to sit around
without anybody to talk to.
Hotels in New York can be
the loneliest places on earth,
out the Belleclaire's idea is to
De a home. Guests need not
worry about whom they meet,
. because c only the real kind of
'olks stop with US.
We give everybody good
meals and home comforts-
and try to make them happy
and contented.

D. C.. STREET CAR SERVICE
SURVEY NEARS COMPLETION

improvement of service generally, Mr..
Beeler this morning declared that the
local traction companies could save
other thousands of tons of coal If they
would install devices for indicating use
of power by the motormen.
He stated that in the operation of
current where the same headway could
be maintained while allowing the cars
to coast: that such devices would in
dicate the extent to which power is
wasted In this respect and enable the
operating company to check the records
of the motormen and ascertain which
of them are responsible for the great
est consumption of coal unnecessarily.
Such instruments are now employed
on the street cars in many of the large
cities of the country. and to the extent
that they lead to an increase in coast
ing does the amount of fuel required
for furnishing power for operation de-
crease, Mr.. Beeler stated
He said that he introduced coasting
recorders in Denver in 1912, when he
was vice president and general mana
ger of the Denver Tramway Company.
Commenting on the above, in the cur
rent issue of the Electric Railway
Journal. Mr.. Beeler pointed out that
within one year after the installat ton
of the recorders the coasting had been
raised to 29.6 per cent and the consump-
ton OF energy cut down 17.2 per cent.
This was equivalent to a saving of
about $50 day in the coal bill alone.
In 1915 the energy saving had gone up
to 70 per cent. the coasting had been
raised to 38 per cent. front-end acci-
dents had decreased II per cent and ar
mature life had Increased over SO per
cent ais

Representative Nolan Before House

Rule.

member of the House labor commit
tee and author of the three-dollar-a-
day minimum wage bill, which was
refused consideration in the House
under the unanimous consent rule, to-
day appeared before the rules commit
tee in an effort to obtain a special
rule for immediate consideration of
the measure.
He called attention to the fact that
the committee on labor had not had
its day in court, and it was the only
committee thus far punished under
the unanimous consent agreement He
contended that the minimum wage bill
was more important now than ever
before
He said that quick action was de-
manded to bring relief to the low-paid
employees of the United States. He said
that Notwithstanding any action on a
percentage increase to government
workers this bill should be adopted as
the basis of any reclassification of the
service. He said:
NO matter what you pay now, or
what increase you make then, this gov
ernment should pay every employe who
has been two years in service not less
than SO a day"
He expressed the opinion that the
House should be given a chance to con-
slider this measure, and declared that
the labor committee had been en-
fiuke."

Policemen Are Told
What They Must Do
on All HeatleSS DAYS

Mai. Raymond w. Pullman. superin-
tendent Of police. has issued an
order to the police captains giving
them information as to the duties of
members of their commands on heatless
days. 1t reads:
Captain: Today is the first heatless
Monday.
Under the revised order of the fuel
administrator, stores may have light
use fuel to produce heat above 40 de-
grees Fahrenheit, which is just above
freezing.
Members of the Retail Merchants
Association are cooperating with the
fuel administrator, and have advised
the closing of all stores.
"All theaters will be open on Monday
for the convenience of those who are
not working on this heatless day. but
on Tuesday all theater and moving pic
ture houses will be closed.
..Poolrooms and bowling alleys may be
allowed to remain open on heatless Mon
day, the same as theaters and moving
picture houses, but will have to be closed
on Tuesday, the same as theaters and
moving picture house are closed on Tues
day.
1.-The fuel administration order is be-
ing amended, and it is urged upon all
members of the police department to
read carefully everything printed in the
morning and afternoon papers about
these orders, SO that they might be
enforced most intelligently.
1.-The police should advise all persons
not certain about the application of the
order to read the newspaper announce
ments, or get in touch with Mr.. Weaver

was met, it was said. with general
response. The use of coal for lights
and elevators will be specifically for
hidden in amendments to the closing
order before the next heatless Monday.
Many food stores did not learn Of the
fuel Administrations decision to per-
nit them to open throughout the day
and closed at noon. Drug stores in some
cities were closed throughout the day.
Reports here said New York already
had on hand enough coal to fill the
bunkers of fifty vessels loaded with
supplies for the American Army and
the allies. More than hundred ships
in Hampton roads were being coaled
rapidly. The heavy movement of coal
has taxed tug and barge facilities heav-
lily and a plan to commander tugs and
barges. If necessary, is being considered
by the shipping board.
Officials. who recently sought rail-
road embargo on general freight as
means of relieving congestion declared
again that this step would have to be
taken or non-essentials denied trans
portation if the freight tangle is to
be Strengthened out. Director General
McAdoo declined to order the embargo,
it was learned, despite its recommenda-
tion by the war conference board.

GERMANY STILL REFUSES
FACTS AS TO AMERICANS

Cablegram to The Evening Star and

Despite repeated requests. the German
government has up to this time failed
to give the United States the names or
the present location Of the eighteen
American soldiers who were taken
prisoner almost three months ago
near Cambria. The United States has
made every effort to secure the infor-
nation from Germany through the
Spanish government as well as through
the Red Cross organizations.
1t is doubly strange because the Ger
mans published photographs OF the
men as the first American prisoners.
and so cannot claim to have confused

Speech Potential for Trouble.

In some quarters today the effects Of
Senator Stones speech are regarded as
more potential for trouble than the dis
agreement between the President and
Senator Chamberlain. It was pointed
out that the Missourian's remarks lay
the way open for adverse criticism of
the administration. in the form of re-
ply, and will give Col. Roosevelt a
seeming justification to come back"
with allegations Of partisan politics on
the part of democrats.
One aspect Of the Presidents statement
OF last evening which is expected to have a
wholesome result is his avowed conf
dence and Endorsement OF Secretary Baker
Criticism Of the War Department in an
effort to find personal target, has CEN
tered recently about the Secretary of
War. Even persons and papers support
ing the administration have been "ad-
vislng President Wilson to supplant him
The Secretary has been working day and
night on problems of the War Department,
paying little attention to criticism and
has not sought to justify certain courses
which aroused adverse criticism, except
in his testimony during the investigation
into his department by the Senate COM
mittee.
The Presidents wholehearted indorse-
ment of his work and his ability, it is
believed. will discount much of the ef-
fort to make him a scapegoat, and will
result in greater confidence not only in
the administration generally but in the
one man who now, next to the Presi-
dent. bears the heaviest responsibility
for the efficient conduct Of the war
