Our Boys at the Front

Our boys are distinguishing
themselves by their cleanliness
and jovial spirits while at the
Front. They believe that "Clean-
illness is next to Goodness"
1t is an indisputable fact that
people can keep healthy and well
in no better way than by keeping
their bodies clean, inside and out.
Many thousands of people are
killed every year by allowing
toxic poisons to accumulate
within the body, and then they
fall victims to fevers and all sorts
of maladies with special names.
The only way to keep thoroughly
we'll is to drink plenty of water
daily, bathe frequently, and take
some good laxative like Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Cleanse

Germany Would Provoke
Sweden Into Hostilities
Would Then Draw Norway Into Fray and
Get New Naval Base on Morse Coast.
Threat Thus Construed

Germany Is deliberately seeking
to provoke hostilities with Scanti-
navia. Her ultimate object is the
control OF the Scandinavian PEN
ninsula and the establishment of a
naval base in one Of the magnificent
deep-water, naturally defended har-
bors of the Norwegian coast.
This is the Interpretation placed upon
Germany's threat to close the North
Sea against Sweden, Just made public.
Allied diplomats scanned the German
message to Stockholm with the keen
est interest. They compared it with
advices that have been received
from Berne and Amsterdam showing
that similar threats have been made
against Norway and Denmark.
Outlet from Russia.
Access to the Norwegian coast, it
is pointed out, is a prize Of incom-
parable value, both for the conduct
of the war and for the fortunes of
Germany after the war. Access TO
the broad Atlantic for the German
feet from a Norwegian base would
double the allied naval problem. 1t
would give Germany an outlet after
the war for the products of her
newly acquired Russian conQuests
on which she counts so largely. For
such a prize. II is believed here,
Germany would willingly surrender
what she has gained in Belgium
and northern France.
Many developments OF the last
few days point to this as the OBJ
ject of Germany's next great dip
lomatic and military drive. No other
object can be attributed. here to
the vigorous efforts Germany is
making to possess herself Of Fin
land. Ali OF the scandinavian dip
lomats in Washington are frankly
fearful of these developments. They
cling to their neutrality. Hard as
their state Is in present circum-
stances they see nothing but ruin
for their countries in the event of
their being actually forced into the
war.
Finland itself would be y barren
conquest for the German arms. AS a
movement against Russia it is count
cd Of almost negligible value. Ger
many has other and Infinitely more
easy ways Of getting at Petrograd
and northern Russia. But, the con-
troll of Finland means the absolute
German domination of the Baltic and
the Gulf of Bothnia. Vile Germany
has seized the Aaland Islands at the
mouth OF the Bothniau Gulf, purport-
edly as a base of operations in Fin
land, it was pointed out here last
night that the Aalands are far more

seventy miles from Stockholm itself.

Beeler Shows Ten Ways
To Better Car Service
Expert Gives Utilities Commission Result of
Traffic Study Upon w. R. & E. Rail-
way Lines In District.

Combination and reduction of
street car stops and double berth
ing OF cars are two principal units
of ten recommendations for the bet
terment Of service in the downtown
"gridiron" of tracks Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany, contained in the fifth sec
ton of the BeeIer report on traffic
congestion in Washington. This
section was submitted to the Utili-
ties Commission yesterday.
Double BerthIng.
Mr.. Beeler has great faith in the
double berthing idea. He thinks
that this should prove in the
cramped case of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company. be-
tween Ninth and Fourteenth, F and
G streets, one Of the surest reme-
dies, as it has already in the
throat" of the Capitalization sys-
tenn.
In reducing the number of car
stops in this territory, Mr.. Beeler
recommends in four cases that halt
ing places be created in the center
of blocks. He would have cars run
all the way across the intersec-
tion at Ninth and F streets before
stopping, and when they do come
to a stop. form in pairs for filling
or unloading.
This is intended to eliminate the
delay occurring when cars are being
loaded or unIoaded before going
across the switch.
Remedies Suggested.
The ten recommendations are as
follows:
Street cars must be given pre-
cedence by the trafic officers and
must be passed over intersectlng
streets in pairs so far as possible,
especially during the hours of con-
gestion.
Parking OF automobiles must be
limited to permit freer movement
of the street cars and to provide
greater safety to the public.
Certain portions of the streets
must be limited to one-way vehicu-
lar traffic.
