is possible to get good butter and
sugar for breakfast every day. One
of the impressive sights she saw
there was an American railway, in
process of construction. This rail-
way was brought-at least a part
of Intact from Oklahoma.
The Canteen of which which Miss
Parker is in charge is proving to be
a bright spot in the lives of the
soldiers who pass that way. On one
night coffee and bread were given
to over three thousand men and Of
fcers in an interval of less than
eight hours, which is example of
American efficiency. Sometimes it
is only possible to serve the men
with sandwiches, fruit and tobacco.
In most army canteens breakfast
is served from eight to nine and
consists of eggs, coffee and bread,
and the charge is one franc--about
twenty cents in American money
for luncheon, from half past eleven
to half past one, meat and vegeta-
bles with a simple pudding is the
menu, while supper consist of hot
cakes and syrup, which the men
like.
Miss Parker's force consists Of
eight besides herself. They have
servants and the transportation de-
rartment furnishes the canteen with
a Ear.
Friends and admirers in Able

Parker is so pleasantly situated. and
is giving so literally of this patri-
cite service.

NEWS OF MISS LUCIA PARKER

Sometime ago we gave the news
that Miss Lucia Wardlaw Parker
had gone to France to engage in
war work. Miss Parker has charge
of an Army Canteen and is writing
some interesting letters to her rela-
tives back home.
In March Miss Parker spent sew
eral days in Paris and witnessed
one of the first air raids. After
which she went down into Brittany
for a rest, for here one scarcely
realizes that France is at war. 1t

H STORY.
By Elliott J. Clawson.

Summer 1914-and the world was at peace
love anG friendship ruled the glad business
OF every day. Cod looked Down from Heaven
and was pleased.
Gentle hreezes famed the swaying fields
of grain; the world hummed with the pleas
ing sound of bees and birds and laughing
girls.
Marcas, the blacksmith of Louvain, was a
mighty man. This man, Marcas, lived in
faith and love and friendship, and, by the
sweat of his brow, had won peace and pros
perity.
There was another man who lived in a
palace in Berlin. He was twice a king,
eighteen times a duke, twice a prince, nine
times a count-besides, being a bishop-Wll-
liam of Hohenzollern, King of Prussia, En-
peror of Germany.
The blacksmith of Louvain was a better
man than the Hohenzollern. The blacksmith

owned but two suits of clothes, one for work
and one for the Sabbath. The Kaiser owned
three hundred and sixty six.
August 1st, 1914, and William of Hohen-
zollern spoke the word that set the world
aire; came the crash, titanic, colossal
staggering.
JOY died, hope fled, desolation became SUI
Upon that day the world passed into twi-
light.
The baneful autocracy of Prussia had
spoken. An autocracy of hate which for de-
cades' had been deceiving. a great people,
poisoning their minds, preaching the virtue
and necessity of war; had applied the torch
of Devastation. ' :.
By a trick of circumstances the veal OF
mankind was placed for a moment in the
hand of an arrant egotist, tyrant, mailman
William of Hohenzollern. The greatest CRIME
in all history was perpetrated mat oNE
man might find for HIMSELF a place IN the
sun. -.
Blinded by the Gods, there flashed forth
in the mind of this one man, a madness, a
faulty, a mania fatal, malignant, satanic.
From beyond the dim horizon began the
tireless thudding of guns. The rich fields,
the peaceful farm, the busy city became the
barracks, the arsenal and the aospltai.
In two years twenty-five million men were
killed. manned, or made prisoners. twenty
two million families mourned, but munger
and suffering do not lend themselves to the
process of arithmetic-blasted m ana
stunted lives are not to be interrupted py
mathematics.
THIN came the master crime. An unoffend,
ing crime. An unof7enting r;o?le was ground
into extinction beneath an iron hcel, a ne
tion was destroyed, the crime against Bel
GUM completed to it's fullest. the PrussIan
stalked onward with his twin comrades.
Frightfulness and Horror. A new blotch OF
infamy-the Lusitania-was added to the
Black Name of the Beast.
There was another man who lived in a
White House. The Chief and Spokesman of
a Great Nation that believes all people were
born Free and Equal with a right to Peace
and Happiness.
Then cam the end. The dark curtain
which, like a shroud, had enveloped the
earth, cleared away, and, when the echo of
the last cannon had died upon the air, the
silver-throated bells of all the world rang
forth the glad tidings-

MOORE URGES WOMEN
FOR FARM AND GARDEN

Woman recruits for the farm and gar
den army were urged by Prof Willis
Moore, former head of the weather bu-
reau. at meeting last night of the
the food production committee of the
District Council of Defense Prof.
Moore urged women and girls to vol
unteer for this work, because of the
shortage of male help.
Mrs. Willard D. Bigelow, another
speaker. told of the work of women
and girls in orchards, on farms and in
fruit packing and canning establish
ments. Mrs. ingalls, of Vienna, Va.
also asserted that cooperation on the
part of women in the task of produc-
ing food sufficient for the needs of the
nation was necessary. Mrs. F. l.. Bran
some presided at the meeting.
A general invitation was extended
to the public to attend the mass meet
ing to be held at the Public Library the
evening of April 2. when war gardens
and increased production of food are
to be discussed by number of speak
ers. Another meeting of truck farmers
of nearby Maryland and Virginia was
also announced to be held in the Dis
trict building March 30.

Interest rates, amount and other fea-
lures of the third liberty loan, to open
April 6. are dependent largely on re-
suits of a meeting here this afternoon
of the governors of the twelve federal
reserve banks, chairmen of a number
of liberty loan campaign committees
and Secretary McAdoo. At the confer
ence it is expected the Secretary will
obtain the views of bankers, business
men and the country generally on
money conditions throughout the nation
and how many billions of dollars in
liberty bonds the country can absorb.
The statement was made yesterday
afternoon that Secretary McAdoo had
decided tentatively the amount of the
loan. but that he desired to hold final
consultation with men from outside of
official Washington before sending his
recommendations to Congress.
To Decide Interest Rate.
The Secretary, it was stated, is also
anxious for the opinion of these men
as regards the interest rate, in view of
differences of opinion existing among

Favor Small Loan.

There is way of determining def
initely the revenue yield, however,
until long after returns are made April /
and until the liberty loan campaign is well
under way.
For this reason some Treasury Off
Gals have been inclined to urge a loan
of only enough to carry the govern
ment to the end of the fiscal year, June
30-in the neighborhood of $4,000. 000.
900, or even less-leaving war expenses
of the first part of next fiscal year to
be met by new bond issues. This ar
rangement would give time for the war
finance corporation to get into opera
ton, and by June 80 the effect of the
corporations activities on the money
market might be determined.
