and were given the job of running
them ashore. II was day and night
work and a great job for fun. because,
while you never knew when you
would get ", you had good reason TO
feel you would get damned by a cute
little shell or a dainty bit Of shrap-
mel before the job was over.
Aboard ship It was deck work, OF
course, and 1t was not much better
there than ashore with the guns, be-
cause the enemy trenches were near
the shore and they amused them
selves trying to pick as off whenever
we showed on deck. guess we were
a regular shooting gallery for them,
and some of our men thought they
did not need all the practice they
were getting. for quite a few of us
acted as bulls eyes.
But we did not mind the bullets so
much. Uhey make a clean wound or
put you away entirely; shrapnel
tears you up and can play all kinds
Of tricks with various parts of your
body without killing you. AS for
shells-well, mincemeat is the word.
The Narrows were thick with mines
and there had been a great deal of
damage done there, so after a while
the British detailed their Yarmouth
trawlers TO go in and sweep up. They
had to go up unprotected. of course,
and they started off one night all
serene.
Everything went well until they
turned at the Narrows and started
back. Then. before you could tell it,
five or six searchllghts were playing
on one of Che trawlers and shells
were splashlng the water all over her,
Both banks were simply banging away
point blank at them and never
thought they would get back.
They did get back, though, but
some of them had hardly enough men
left TO work ship. But that is like
the Limeys. They will get back from
anywhere while there is one man
alive.

Hamilton Holt Interviews Victor
Emmanuel at the Front, Where y
Ne Lives Rugged Life
OF a Soldier.
BY GARRETT SMITH.

An alliance with Republican France
in the world war for Democracy is per-
fectly understandable to every citizen
of the United States. In the case OF
our other chief Allies, however, there
are still left some old-fashioned Amer
leans, fed on the king-baiting school
histories OF generation ago, who are
a bit puzzled to find the country Of
George Washington lined up with the
"king-ridden" nations of Europe.
But the King of Italy is not an old
fashioned King at all.
This view of Victor Emmanuel as a
royal democrat is strikingly interpret
ed by Hamilton Holt, editor Of The
Independent, who has just returned
from Italy, where he had most I'M
usual interview with His Majesty.
Mr.. Holt went to Italy as the repre-
sentative Of the Italy America So
ciety at the time OF the celebration
of the third anniversary of Italy's en-
trance into the war. He was received
In Rome with much ceremony.

The case lasted all day and went

They were Orville Cook, her, hus-

GEORGIA SOLON
CHAMPION
CAPITOL COPS
Senator Hoke Smith Thinks
Guardians Are Underpaid
by the Government.

Members Of the Capitol police force
have found q worthy champion in the
person OF Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, who seems to take consider
able interest in their fight for better
pay.
Senator Smith has the reputation for
fairness in all things and 1t is thought
will take a personal interest in urg-
ing the upper legislative body to grant
the increase Of pay asked, on the basis
Of $40 q year for the guards, 81. $50
a year for the three lieutenants, and
81 500 a year for the captain, who Ia
getting that salary now and who IL not
affected by any increase.
I'VE expect the Senate to take our
matters up in the next ten days" said
w. NJ. Hairston. one OF the guards.
last night, "and have hopes that the
hasty and irnprovised disposition that
was made in the House will not only
be rectified but when 1t is brought back
to the House that body will correct
its mistake.
II am intensely anxious to under
stand the mechanism OF a statesman's
mind who can reconcile himself with
the idea that man who Is getting
s., 800 a year needs another $50, while
a man who is working for $3.50 and
$50 per year should be content with
the same $40 amount of increase In
full satisfaction Of the necessaries OF
life. Just how such conclusions are
reached must certainly be interesting.
II agree with Representative Will
lam Schley Howard, of Georgia, when
he said In a speech upon the legisla-
tive appropriation bill that all a dol
lar would buy in Washington was two
eggs and a filter, and that a fellow
who would insist on anybody living
in Washington on less than 500 a
month ought to be bored for a hoI-
low head.
"still, the Capitol policemen are ex-
pected to do SO unless there is a
change.
Il. cannot conceive Of Congress
wanting government employees to work
for a stipend that does not meet their
imperative and natural necessities.
Undoubtedly they will concede that
the laborer, however humble or ex-
alted his position might be, is worthy
of his hire.
80 far as efficiency is concerned. /
assert without fear of successful
refutation that the CAPITOL police
force will compare favorably in point
Of efficiency with any other branch
Of employees in the government serv-
ice.
There's no disposition on our part
to be nagging at Congress or to be-
come chronic agitators for more pay.
We are urged to take the steps we
have because there's no other re-
course All the men on the force de-
plore having to make this insistence,
and II there was any other way of
meeting the issues involved. the Capt.
tol police force most assuredly would
be delighted to know it"

BILLBOARD EXPERTS
confer With HOOVER
Outdoor Advertising Men Pledge
Unsel6sh Support to Country.

A committee of outdoor adyertis-
ing interests promised at a confer
ence with the Food Administration
yesterday that nothing would be
ieft undone which could make their
work more effective in bringing
home to the American people the
necessity for greater food savings.
The committee was composed of o.
]. GUIDE, X. H. Fulton. G. G. O'Brien,
Harry G. Walker and H. ]. Mahin,
all OF whom are recognized as lead
ing men in the advertising busi-
ness.
They came to Washington to de-
eide upon a division of the work
that was to be undertaken. In
stead of working out an equal di-
vision they declared their intention
OF taking on more work for each
frm, and promised the fullest DOS
sible measure of support to the gov
ernment.
This medium Is regarded as one
OF the most valuable avenues
through which the Food Admins
tration has been able to reach the
American people. The work has
been done without expense to the
government, SO far as the rental OF
btllboards, pasting and painting Of
signs has been concerned.
Proprietors of outdor advertising
firms, their patrons. bill posting and
sign companies. and electrical ad-
vertisers have placed their equip
ment and services at the disposal Of
the government, freely surrender
ing their. most valuable locations as
a patriotic measure in making our
prosecution of the war more eff
cient-
The committee which conferred
today with the Food Administration
has also been in conference with
w. g. McAdoo. Secretary Of the
Treasury. discussing plans for ad-
vertising the next liberty loan. Mr..
McAdoo was promised that In addi-
tion to the food and fuel campaigns
the outdoor advertising interests
would add in April a dominating
display on posters and electric
signs pushing the liberty loan.

less Asked for at Once.

Farmers must Immediately file afii-
davits to support deferred calling
claims, II they want to save their
young farm hands from the next draft.
This warning was sent broadcast last
night by the United States Employ
ment Service.
A new increment Of about 5000 men
shortly is to be called. Many valu-
able farm hands now engaged In
spring planting are subject to the call.
Ralph I. lizard. special representative
of the Employment Service, said yes
terday that farmers in many sections
have made 20 effort to convince draft
boards that their hands are necessary.
As a matter of fact the withdrawal
Of such hands from the farm will
prove a serious handicap to produc-
ton, Mr.. lizard said.
The warning said:
IF farmers whose hands are affect
ed in this new call fail to follow this
advice. they should have no cause for
complaint II their men are taken from
them at this critical time. It will be
useless and unreasonable later to pro-
test II they have done nothing to re-
tain their help. Immediate action on
the part Of every farmer whose en-
ployes are affected is essential and
should not be delayed under any cir
cumstances."

a bill introduced In the House yes
terday by Representative Crosser. Of
Ohio, were enacted Representative
Crosser's' bill extensively amends an
old bill enacted In 1896 and would
successfully curb those dishonest deal
ers who seek gain through short
weights, short measures. and SINH
lar Vaccinations.
George NJ Roberts. superintendent
Of weights. measures and markets of
the District and the District Com
missioners aided Representative Cros-
ser in drafting his bill and 1t car
ries their hearty approval.
Ice Only By weight.
For some time need has been felt
for more stringent weight and meas
ure regulations. Realizing this. Rep
resentative Crosser has patched up
the many crevices IN the present leg
islation on this subject. .
Prominent among the new features
contained IN Representative Crosser's
amendment which renovates the old
law in its weakest points Is one which
would limit the selling of Ice save by
weight.
Equally wise provision Is made for
the selling OF coal and coke, but Su-
perintendent Roberts said last night
he believed that in view of the fact
that summer was so near, and an ice
famine imminent. the regulating of
the sale of ice by weight only was a
distinctly important feature Of the
amendment.
II would also prohibit operation Of
coin slot machines that have not been
tested or approved. or where they are
not 30 located that they can easily be
supervised by someone who would re-
fund moneys IL necessary.
Drastic regulations are contained IN
the bill in regard to the inspection and
testing Of scales, and II is required
wherever a dealer or other person en-
gagged in business Possesses scales
which have not been duly approved.
they must give notice Of the fact TO
Mr.. Roberts in writing.
The bill vests police authority in Mr..
Roberts and all OF his assistants, and
increases the fine for violation of the
act to 800 or six months imprison-
ment. or both. 1t provides that cases
be prosecuted by the Corporation
Counsel in the Police Court.
So fully does Representative Crosser
go into details that his proposed bill
consumes nearly a dozen typewriter
pages.
1t makes additional rulings on milk,
fruits. vegetables. -four, cords of wood.
sacks of potatoes, oysters and many
other commodities.
Dry Measures Uniform.
Every dry measure used in the Dis
trict, the bill provides, shall be cylin-
drical in design.
1t also requires that all automatic
pumps, such. as are used to supply
autoists with gasoline. must be pla-
carded Tank Empty when there
is an insufficient amount of oil in
them.
The bill has been referred to the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Commission, which. it is believed,
will give it an early and favorable
report.
Notwithstanding the hardship which
1t might work. Representative Cros-
ser's bill provides that detailed GER
tificates of sale must be given Gus
toners If they desire them.
