SANTA AND Mr.. BAKER
GREET WALTER REED MEN
Christmas Trees at Every Cot Bring
Cheer to the Wounded
Yankees.

The Secretary of War paid a sur
prise visit to Walter Reed Hospital
last night to wish the boys a merry
Christmas and a speedy recovery. He
told them that they had helped make
the present Yuletide the cheeriest and
most hopeful that the United States
has enjoyed for many year.
Santa Claus beat Secretary Baker
''to it," however, for he was at the
big hospital before dawn. Individual
Christmas trees had been placed by
every cot, while the men were waken-
ed by the music of carols. There were
trees for each ward, and a community
tree at Red Cross headquarters, where
had occurred the big celebration
Christmas eve. Every man in the
hospital was remembered in some
way, and open house" was the motto
at all post organization quarters.
Visitors all day thronged the
Knights of Columbus hut and the Y
NJ. c. A. Headquarters, as well as the
post auditorium, where the Quarter
master Corps staged an entertain
ment.
Last night, as a conclusion of the,
round of Christmas gayeties. a dance
to the doctors and their wives, the
nurses, student nurses and recon-
Struction aids was held at Red Cross
headquarters.
Music for all these festivities was
furnished by the Camp Meigs band.

TO HANDLE PLACEMENT
OF WORKERS OF is TO Fl
United States Employment Service
Hopes to Solve Problem Through
Formation of Junior Section.

A Junior section to handle the place
ment of workers of the nation be-
tween the ages of sixteen and twenty
one has been organized by the United
States employment service of the De-
partment of Labor. Two specialists
have been appointed to organize and
direct the work of the junior section.
They are Jesse B. Davis. principal of
the Central High School of Grand
Rapids, Mich, who has had experience
in vocational guidance, and Mrs. An
ma Y. Reed of Seattle, who has had
experience in teaching and business
management.
If the placement of the young work
ers, who, according to the census OF
1910. equal the total number of pro-
ductive workers between twenty-one
and forty-four, can be handled wise
" for five years, according to the de-
partment, it is believed that one OF
the most serious problems now con-
fronting the employment service will
have been solved. The last census
showed that in comparison with the
woman workers over twenty-one.
girls were employed in the ratio OF
eight to five.

SAYS DELAY IN BUILDING
WOULD HURT ALL LABOR
Secretary Morrison of the A. F. of
L. Urges Activity at Once-Fed-
eral Bureau to Help.

Building should begin and become
general at once, Secretary Morrison
OF the American Federation of Labor
said yesterday. Mr.. Morrison said
many persons who contemplate erect
ing houses, Office buildings and other
structures are postponing activity I'M
til spring. He declared this policy
would have q disastrous effect on
labor.
The Department of Labor has or
ganized a new division for the pur-
nose of encouraging immediate re-
sumption of building. Some citizens
who have really made preparations
TO build are holding off for de-
crease in the cost of labor and ma
Ierial.
it is pointed out by the Department
of Labor that the great cities of the
nation have invariably been built by
costly labor. They point to San Fran
cisco. where. after the great tidal
wave and fire. the city was rebuilt
by men who received more for their
labor than the mechanics are today
demanding. They also call attention
10 Seattle. a city which was built
by mechanics who received very high
pay for their work.
1T is Il peculiar fact that as soon
rs the price of labor begins to fall
building operations lag. Louis f.
Post. assistant secretary for the De-
Iartment of Labor, recently said.

Wilhelmina S Guest

Oh, Wilhelmina, may l not
congratulate you on your guest
His merry ways will hit the
spot, and give your humdrum life
new zest. There's something
doing all the time when little
Willie is on deck, some fasclnat-
ing curves in crime, new stunts
in arson, death and wreck. He's
come to eat your Holland prunes,
with you he'll rest and break his
fast, and l would always count
the spoons when he has finished
his repast. The kaiser at your
door has knocked, you've let him
in, without his crown; now see
the henhouse safely locked, and
all your portables nailed down.
Oh, Wilhelmina, may not sug-
gest a safe deposit vault, for all
the goods you prize a lot, for
everything except the salt? Your
visitors a charming skate, when
he has will and wish to please,
but while he strives to fascinate,
hang firmly to your cupboard
keys. No doubt twill grieve
your gentle heart to see him
with his crownless brow, but
you should bid your tears depart
until you have secured the COW.
His hair is. white, his cheek is
pale, he bears the marks of
misery; but while you listen to
his tale, just chain your palace
to a tree. He'll doubtless talk
of Me und Gott until your wom-
ans heart is sore; but, Will
helmina, may I not suggest a
strong new cellar door?

WEDDING BELLS FAILED
TO RING OUT FOR HIM
Would-Be Bridegroom Neglected
First to Ask Young Woman
About It.

Plans for at least one Christmas
wedding appear to have gang aglee."
Col. William A. Knoll, the license
clerk, today received a note from the
minister named in the case notifying
him that the ceremony had not been
performed.
The clergyman says he went to
the appointed place at the hour
named and found the young couple.
The bridegroom to-be, taking the
license from his pocket, told the min
lister he would not keep him waiting!
The young woman in the case re-
manned seated and declared. accord
ing to the writer, her unwillinsness
to wed.
The writer, continuing. says:
1.-The man insisted, entreated, and
finally put his two hands to his head.
as though his brain was taking hre
and he wished to smother the flames.
Again he approached the young
woman. entreating her to be his
bride, but she simply said: You did
not tell me you were going TO 90
this, and, as there can be no mar
rige without my consent. it is useless
to ask me. 1 am not going to marry
tonight That ends it.
The license had not been returned
at noon, so Col. Knoll thinks an
agreement may yet be reached and
the ceremony performed.

LIMIT OF FUND MAY
CHECK D. c. GROWTH
House Appropriation Bill Al
lots Amount for Streets and
Alleys at $4,000.

A limitation of $4,000 in the
District appropriation bill, as it
passed the House, upon the amount
that may be expended in condemna-
ton proceedings for street extensions
and alley improvements, threatens a
serious check upon the Districts
growth
There is no limit now and has been
none upon the amount the Commits
sioners could spend for this purpose.
1t is not a charge originating under
the half-and- half act, as the cost of
extending streets is assessed wholly
against the property benefited.
Money Expended in Other Years.
In some years the District has
spent as high as S35O.00O in condem-
nation proceedings. The cost Incl
dent to the extension of Wisconsin
avenue from Massachusetts avenue to
the District line, which is the largest
condemnation case now pending, Will
be in excess of 100000.
1t is stated that the 100000 limita-
ton carried in the House bill will
scarcely meet the ordinary needs OF
opening alleys and that it will be en-
tirely insufficient for the purposes of
street extensions called for in the
normal expansion of the city.
Will Appeal to Senate.
The commissioners are expected to
make a strong effort to have the
provision eliminated in the Senate.
Its retention in the appropriation
measure. it is claimed, will mean a
death blow to the Districts per-
manent highway plan.

SOLDIERS OBJECT

TALKING OF RETALIATION

News dispatches from abroad assert
ing among the 100000 American SOL
diers in the expeditionary force be-
cause Of the bone dry prohibition
legislation which Congress has put
through during their absence.
1t is said they feel they should have
been given an opportunity to vote on
these measures. The same dispatches
say the soldiers are talking of re-
taliating against the members of Con-
gress who put through this leglsla-
ton.
Since the armistice was signed the
men abroad have had more time 10
consider what has been happening az
home in the0>absence. But that the
returning Army will have a strong
influence when it reaches home, not
as a military force, but polltlcall!' Is
believed to be very true
Needed Legislation Cited.
Although the nationwide prohibit
ton constitutional amendment is now
in the process of being ratified by the
states. and from present indications IL
will be ratified by threefourths of the
states within the next year. should
Congress fail to enact legislation to
enforce the amendment after its adop-
ton it would be as ineffective as
though it had never been put forward
by Congress and the state legislatures
Some of the members of congress
are beginning to think seriously OF
what will be the attitude of the re-
turning American soldiers on num-
Der of internal questions. among them
that of nationwide prohibition. They
are not at all sure that these men Will
be willing to see sumptuary laws en-
acted in which they have had no voice.
Views of Opponents.
Some of the opponents of prohibit
ton go so far as to say that congress
will not enact laws to make the con-
stitutional amendment effective, even
if it is ratified by sufficient number
of states
Under the provisions of the resolu-
ton submitting the proposed amend
ment to the states. the Congress and
the states are authorized to enact leg
islation to make prohibition effective.
The prohibition will not become eff
fective. in any event. until one year
after the states have ratified the
amendment and it's ratification has been
proclaimed.
