WOULD FACILITATE SHIPPING
Chamber of Commerce Sends Letters
to Merchants of D, C.

The Chamber of Commerce today ap-
pealed to every merchant in the city
who intends to keep HIS shipping room
open on heatless Monday for the re-
ceipt of freight to notify the chamber
Immediately at GIL 18th street.
The appeal was prompted by letter
which the chamber received from three
of the big express companies. which
read, in part, as follows:
TT was our understanding that all the
business houses would be open to re-
ceive freight and express shipments
We find, however, the majority of the
business houses are not open for the
reception of freight and express matter
with a result that large portion of the
shipments are brought back to our
warehouses, resulting in second hand
ling and subsequent congestion in de-
liveries.
I'VE would very much appreciate 1t II
you can give US list of the merchants
who are members Of your association
who will be open to receive express
matter on heatless Mondays"

LEAKS OF SECRETS
|MPER|L j. S. LIVES
Alleged Disclosure of Dates
and Ports Of Departure of
Troop Transports.

Despite the extraordinary efforts to
departure Of transports carrying Amer
ican troops abroad. and other military
Information which would be exceed
inEly useful to the enemy. leaks have
occurred which have endangered the
lives Of United States troops.
These leaks" came not from civilians
or from newspapers. which. for the
most part, have observed vigorously a
self-imposed censorship. but from naval
officers and. more especially, from
naval officers wives.
There is no suspicion that tho dis
closures were Intentional. But they
were none the less fraught with dan
gerous consequences.
Tells Her Husbands Plans.
Recently there was reported to Sec
retary Of the Navy Daniels the case OF
the wife OF a naval officer, who, while
ington hotel, told of her husbands s
plans for going abroad. The unit he
was connected with was matter OF
common knowledge. BY this unthink-
woman not only endangered the life of
her own husband, but Of hundreds of
Americans, Secretary Daniels pointed
out today.
Asked whether any further orders
counseling secrecy were about to be
issued, the Secretary said:
mo. The more. orders issued along
this limo the more talk there seems to
be-"
The Secretary recalled that Rear Ad-
miral David W. Taylor, in debating his
annual report to a stenographer. said:
There has been much conversion OF
ships this year."
GAS the stenographer Wrote It."
"As the stenographer wrote It," said
Secretary Daniels, sit was: There has
been much conversation Of ships
suggested to the admiral that If the
error had been allowed to stand the
statement would have been exactly
true"
In both the Army and Navy efforts
are being made to trace cases Of this
inadvertent disclosure of information
which would be valuable to the enemy
An indication of the Army's attitude
| was given In the announcement, on the
same day as the sinking of the Tus-
cania was reported, that an officer was
under arrest for disclosing to a rela.
tive the port Of his departure for

To Maintain Efficiency.

1.-THE fine efficiency of the Boy Scouts
Of America in serving the country must,
of course, be maintained. The army
and Navy have drawn heavily upon its
ranks for men who have gone forth
very gladly to make. If need be, the
supreme sacrifice. Men are needed as a
consequence as scout masters and leao-
ers to take their places. Money is
needed. moreover, to build this efficient
unit Of the national service up to full
strength.
'T hope that all who can make gifts
to the organization or serve as scout
masters will feel it their duty to help
to organize the hundreds of thousands
Of boys who need the leadership and
that the nation may have their intelh-
gent service.
Anything that is done or given to
increase the war efficiency OF the Boy
Scouts of America will be a real con-
tribution to the nation and will help
win the war"

Secretary McAdoo's Letter.

The letter from Secretary McAdoo
reads as follows:
"I have been deeply impressed and
touched by the splendid spirit Of CO.
operation and the tireless energy OF
the Boy Scouts in both the first and
second liberty loan campaigns. !
feel that a large part Of these stupen.-
dous undertakings has been earned
by the Boy Scouts. The splendid serv-
ices Of the Boy Scouts in all Of the
various war campaigns have proved
them heroes of the old republic, and
At successors Of the men who are now
fighting the battles of democracy In
France and upon the high seas.
'I understand the Boy Scouts OF
America are making at this time a
campaign for men and money. Men to
furnish leadership for boys in the diff
ferent communities and money to main
tain and create greater efficiency IN
the field. This is a most commendable
effort. Let me join in urging that the
men of the country who can should get
into and support this great organiza,
ton as scoutmasters and leaders and
every one who has the money should
contribute literally. The Boy Scouts
Of America, are one Of the greatest OF
our war facilities. They are helping
US win. They must be upheld. They need
men and money. now. Give your help
unstintingly and at once"

"UNFORTUNATE" AS TO TINE ONLY.

"BilI' Haywood, who was in the federal building at
Chicago when a bomb was exploded in it, killing four and
~wOunding 30, expressed regret, saying 1T is unfortunate
that this thing happened at this time" Haywood was in
the building with his lawyer at the time for the purpose
of getting a stay of execution of his sentence to 20 years
in prison. This perhaps gave emphasis to his regrets that
the explosion happened at this time" He does not re-
greet the outrage only the time of its happening, He adj
mitted that the !. w. w. would be blamed for the eXplO
sion, which shows that to be the natural source to expect
such an outrage from. The connection between the SEN
fencing of the uncrowned king Of The criminal gang and
the "a others with him in Judge Lands court, and the ex-
ploding of the bomb in the building in which the court
was held in which they were convicted is such that Hay
woods gang would naturally come under suspicion, and
this suspicion, with most, would have the force of convic-
ton. Instead of being unfortunate that it occurred at
this time" as Haywood stated il, it was just the other way
1t shows the fangs have not been pulled from the ]. W. W.
snake, and that any leniency extended any of the gang,
and especially. Haywood would be a crime against the
country. Another reason why it is fortunate that, if it
was to occur at all, it should be at this time is that it will
prevent any mauldin sentiment, or judicial red tape inter-
ferring with any Of the sentences. Any concessions made
now would be considered by the American bolshevik as
having been made through fear inspired by the bombing
Of the federal building. The act prevents any favorable
action by the courts on any diatory tactics Haywood and
his attorneys may employ succeeding. The more quickly

glad Brian would be, and that she
could look for a more attractive place
to live.

did. Dinner was all ready, so Ruth
waited until they should be seated at

such wonderful news.
Mrs. Crawford had happened to set
exactly the dinner Brian liked. A del
ieately Drowned steak, baked potatoes
cracking in their scrubbed skins and
a thick creamy rice pudding, a sim
pie dinner enough, but Brian tastes
were simple.
"'Gee, but this looks goodl' he ex-
claimed as they sat down.
"Smells good, too Ruth returned,

USELESS LEGISLATIVE BODY

The United States senate is a useless body as we'll as
troublesome and pestiferOus. In time Of a national crS-
eS, like the present, it is extremely annoying to the gov
eminent to have bunch of cheap politicians in the SEN
ate using all their efforts to block or delay administration
efforts to achieve real results. For instance, while the
president was earnestly trying to keep the nation out Of
the world conflict a majority of these senators were cla-
PEELED a declaration of war against Germany, many Of
these same senators have done nothing beyond finding
fault and attempting to embarrasS all efforts to wage
successful warfare. Germany sent a few submarines to
our coast to brighten the government into suspendlng
transport of troops to France, and after they had sunk
a few fishing smacks these leather-lunged senators stood
up on their hind legs and brayed, trying to stampede the
navy department and ~frighten the country at large---Just
what Germany wanted them to do. The senate military
ommittees have lied about the progress Of our war work,
and this encouraged our enemies to continue efforts in
the false hope that they could win because of our lack
of accomplishment These same senators have abused
and maligned the heads of war and naval bureaus because
they would not admit the truth of the false charges
against them. Only yesterday, Senator Hi Johnson, the
California radical, denounced the arrest of slackerS in
New York, a fair sample of senatorial patriotism: quick
to defend the traitor and skulker with never a word of
praise for the boy in khaki at the front. Chamberlain,
Calder and Others Joined in and howled against an earnest
attempt to enforce the draft laws. If Sherman of Illinois,
was silent on this subject it was because he was hoarse
from his indicative and unWarranted harrangue against
the government earlier in the week.
The American House Of Lords" was abolished when
til senator's were made elective by the people, but the
change has not been for the better. Now the membership
Of this body is made up Of peanut politicians whose dem
agogic g~yrations are at time like the present a real men
ace to the nation.
The only evidently effective way to reform the Unit
ed States senate would be to abolish it.

Ripping Rhymes
HOT WINS.
by Walt Mason

The winds were fried before delivered; the cornstalks
oh, now the men who run the weather should change their
campaign all together--hot winds won't whip the Hun.
The corn was healthy, strong and nifty; I've never seen
it look more thrifty, twas green and full of juice; the
farmers sat them down to figure upon a harvest three
times bigger than common years produce. And then the
ratified weather prophet shipped in a lot of wind from
Tophet, where it was doubly broiled; he turned it loose up
on those regions where cornstalks grew in rustling legions,
and all the crop was spoiled. The weather man should
surely catch it; he did it with his little Ratchet, and can't
get through with bunk; another golden dream is busted,
another hope lies red and rusted, and only fit for junk.
We are not desolate, ~forsaken; we have alfalfa, wheat and
bacon, rolled oats and wholesome bran; we have excelsior
and lettuce---the kindly gods will not forget us, though
corn's an also ran. Then let us bravely bear reverses; we
can't improve things much with curses, or rending of our
hair; we still have prunes and beans and squashes, and
we will surely whip the boches, speak not of despair.

he had said he would like to see,
petted Brian out of his sulks this
time, she would have it to do all
over again when her mex raise came.
Ruth had entire faith in her own
ability, as far as the work she had
undertaken was concerned. Her whole
heart was in it, and she had no in
tention of giving up so promising a
career in a profession she had loved
ever since her childhood. She smiled
as she tAsught it was about time to
near from her aunt-wAo also would
object to what she, Ruth, was doing.
But her objections would be simply on
the ground that it was unladylike for
her niece to do work of any sort in
a shop. She really was proud of Ruth 8
ability-in which she differed from
Brian, who. because of his indiffer-
enee to the subject, thought little of
her talent.
"Dessert is on the table, Brianl''
Ruth called as Mrs. Crawford brought
in the rice pudding. Then she hid a
smile as the door opened and Brian
came slowly in, a sulky look on his
face. and again seated himself at the
table, but without speaking.
