AGAINST MOB SPIRIT
President Denounces. Lynchings as
Blow at Heart of Humane
Justice.

Washington, July p. - President
Wilson yesterday in a personal state
ment addressed to his fellow country
men, ienouncing mob spirit and mob
action, called upon the nation to show
the world that. while it fights for de-
mocracy on foreign fields, it is not de-
stroying democracy at home.
The President referred not alone tc
mob action against those suspected of
being enemy aliens or enemy sympa-
thizers; he denounced most emphat-
ically mob action of all sorts, espe-
cial!y lynchings, and while ne did not
refer specifically to lynching of negroes
in the South, it is known that he in
cluded them in his characterization of
mob spirit as: :: A%blow at,the heart of
ordered law and humane justice"
1t is known that the .lynchings of
negroes as well as attacks upon those
suspectcJ of being enemies or sympa-
thizcrs,' have been used by the German
propaganda, throughout Central and
South America, as we'll as in Europe,
to contend that the pretensions of the
United States as q champion of de-
mocracy are Il sham.
Openly concerned by the situation
The President decided to address his
rellowcountrymen and to declare that
"every mob contributes to German lies
about the United States what her
most gifted liars cannot improve upon
by way of calumny."

Hun on MISCHIEF BENT;
CLOSE CONFINEMENT FOLLOWS

The fact that those visitors from
Berlin who are living at The expense
Of Uncle Sam at the war prison bar
racks at Fort Mcpherson are still up
to all sorts of tricks common to the
Teutonic mind was aptly demonstrat-
ed at the barracks several days ago.
An inspection of the barracks re-
suited in the finding Of carefully
hidden implement, designed and made
bv one of the German prisoners. The
article in question was an old-fash-
ioned cross-bow, the bow and the ar
row which was found with it, both
beine made of steel. The bow was
tested in the stockade and its arrow,
shot at a mark twenty-five feet away
nenctrated thre--inch thickness OF
pine board.
The maker of the implement refused
"a discuss his invention or the uses
that he intended 70 -:ake OF it. The
"eun" is now in the hands OF the
q vernment authorities; its inventor
is in solitary confinement.

bidden to Patronize Food Shops at

By order of Lieut.. Col. Park ban
today was placed against soldiers
from Camp Humphreys patronizing
eating places in the village of Acco-
tink, Fairfax county and vicinity.
There are a total Of twenty-one food
shops in this little village.
The order became effective today,
and it is announced that the ban vii!
not be lifted until there is a general
cleanup of that place and things
generally are put in more sanitary
shape The order prohibits the SOL
diers at Camp Humphreys from pa.
tronizing these places, and the mill
tary police will see that the order i:
strictly carried out.
The merchants of this little village
and vicinity have been doing a thriv-
ing business as result of the SOL
diers being quartered so near them
and the putting on of the ban will
prove a serious blow to them from d
financial standpoint.
DR.. H. c. Robles, Of the United
States public health service, who is
working under the direction of DR..
W. L. Wood, this city, is to be in
charge of the sanitation work at Acco-
tink and vicinity. 1t is expected that
plans for general cleanup of that
place will soon be started.
A similar ban was placed against
Alexandria exactly three weeks ago
today.

Light Less NIGHTS

Becomes Operative In Virginia Mon
day-Street Lighting to Be Dlscon-
tinued Mondays and Tuesdays--Wlll
Effect Illumination of Shop Win
dows.
State Fuel Administrator H. F.
Byrd has received notification from
the Federal Fuel Administration, at
Washington, that "Lightless Nights"
will begin once more in Virginia next
Monday. The fuel laws governing the
curtailment of fuel for Illuminating
purposes in cities went into operation
last Wednesday in the states of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, the New Eng
land group and in the District of Co.
lumbia. In all other states, includ-
ing Virginia, these laws do not be-
come operative before next Monday.
In the group of states first effected by
the operation of the "lightless nights"
law all street illumination in cities
will be curtailed during Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of
each week. In Virginia, and the
states affected by the law next Mon
day, the curtailment of street illumi-
nation will only be enforced on Mon
day and Tuesday of each week.
Under provisions Of the Eighties
nights" law the use of all lights gen.
Grated by coal, oil or other fuel for
Illuminating or dispaying ADVERTISE
ments, announcements or signs, or for
the external ornamentation of any
building, will be prohibited entirely on
such days of the week set forth in
the orders governing the respective
states. The use of light for illumina-
ton or display in shop windows, store
winds or in signs in show windows
will be discontinued from sunrise to
sunset, and will be discontinued en-
tirely on the "lightless nights desig-
mated by the order. The "lightless
nights" program was put into effect
in the United States last year for the
first time and resulted in very ma
terial saving of fuel. something of the
kind had already been tried out in Eu-
rope, where the resultant economy
recommended that "a similar plan be
put into operation in the United
States.

FOOD RIOTS IMPEND IN AUSTRIA
Government Promises Fail 20 Quell
: Rising Desperation of People.

: Austria Hungary faces a still more
severe food shortage, according to Of
,fical figures placed before the military
authorities here yesterday. Although
the reconveying Of the Parliament at
Vienna has given opportunity for the
government to renew its pledges of
new food supplies, information COM
ing by way of Switzerland indicates
that only by force or arms will the
people be restrained from the rioting
in the larger centers.
The problem was taken up at the
recent general conference held at
field headquarters by the Kaiser. 1t
was hoped assurances that food would
be sent into Austria from Russia
would follow. No announcement has
he sent into Austria from Russia
been made, however, and Socialist
leaders. are again urging workmen to
start food strikes.
The Arbeiter Zeitung, of Vienna, re-
ports that there has been little bread
fin Prague since July Z.
At Weinberge and Zinkow no bread
| was issued for several days, and anger
and despair are evident among the
civil population
The death rate is mounting, the
mortality among children being yer,
high. In Austria the Telling is gene
raj that Hungary has betrayed th'
'nation by refusing to divide the scan
reserve stores. Hungary replies tina
much of her food is being taken TO
the soldiers in the field.

aries to be Increased-Will Pur-
chase Police Patrol and Motorcycle.

session assembled last night COM
plete reorganization of the police force

chief be S125 month; sergeants, S11o
each month, and patrolmen, S100
