was heard to murmur:
Il wonder what the old man will
say"
That Is what the Y. NJ G. A. won
ders. as today the association address
es to ''the old man" an appeal for him
to pick up stakes and follow his boy
overseas to wear the uniform Of the
Red Triangle. Before September / the
Y. NJ. c. A. must recruit 1000 men and
women to share the burdens on the
western front with the more than $500
workers who are already there.
To those who do not know that the
British Y. NJ G. A. has 10000 work
ers in the British armies, and that the
American Y. NJ. G. A. has been charged
with the responsibility of providing
recreation for the fighting men of the
United States and keeping I'D their
morale, 1t is perhaps inconceivable,
says a writer In the New York Trib-
une, that the men of this country
above draft age should be asked to give
up their business to go overseas with
their sons and their younger brothers
who are not too old to fight.
Part Of the War Machine.
The facts are clear. The outstand-
ing fact is that the Y. NJ. c. A., while
retaining It's individuality as a civilian
organization, is an integral part of the
military machine. And the association
is a part Of the military machine not
nulv of tho Apnar;oan axpoli+Fo,,, -,
forces but of the French and Italian
armies as Well.
The Y. NJ G. A. was in the great
war long before General Pershing land
ed on French SOIL General Pershing
went 10 the western front with several
clear-cut notions of how best the Amer
lean troops could do their part in the
winning of the war. First, he deter
mined that his army should be a clean
army; he believed that the best use
that could be made of a man in uni
form was to put him in the fighting
forces; he sought to transfer as many
of the noncomhatant functions of his
army as possible TO some responsible
agency. The Y. NJ. c. A. got the job
because the Y. NJ. c. A. hadsthe organi-
cation. Since then other volunteer or
CARNATIONS have gone to France to
help. All are welcome. Salvation Army,
Knights of Columbus and so on. The
"Y" bears the brunt because of its size.
Hut Keeper Does Little Of Everything.
This man with the Red Triangle on
his sleeve is over draft age The "Y"
would not have him there If he were
not. He has no rank, but even the
officers salute him, because, they say.
he is there through the impetus of
service. The shells may fall all around
him, but 1t is extremely unlikely that
the Croix de Guerre will ever be pinned
upon his breast, He is unarmed be-
cause capture by the Germans under

LAW GOVERNING TEUTON
PATENTS CRITICISED
Federal Trade Commission Asks
Congress for Modification Of
Enemy Trading Rules.

Recommendation that Congress
speedily modify the enemy trading
law by revoking the power now given
the courts to terminate licenses
granted Americans to use German
patents was made today to the Fed
eral Trade Commission by c. H. Nc
Donald, chief of the enemy trade di-
vision of the commission. He urged
also that the commission should be
empowered to fix royalty charges
more definitely and conclusively than
the law now permits.
These serious defects should be
cured, to the end that the business
licensed by the commission~may rest
on firm foundation" Mr.. Mcdonald
said. "In view Of the fact that most
Of the licenses are means to establish
in the United States Industries which
heretofore have been monopolized un-
fairly by the German and Austrian in
terests. to the very great disadvan-
tage Of the American public, 1t seems
unwise in high degree to have the
commissions licenses terminable by
the courts at the suit of the enemy
owners"

SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE

Fiscal Year-l00 Per Cent Record
on Murder Gases.

Mai. Raymond w. Pullman. super
intendent of police, today gave out
statement of the work of the police
ended and commenting the police for
their faithful and effective service.
The statement reads:
.'The metropolitan police closed the
most successful year in the history
of criminal investigation in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and made what is
perhaps the most creditable and unique
record of any large police department
in the United States. having finished
the year with every single murder
occurring during the year cleared up
and the guilty parties arrested.
Record on Murder Gases.
"a 100 per cent record on murder
cases Is an almost unheard-of achieve
ment in American cities of any size,
and has only been equaled by the Won
derful work of the London police and
Scotland Yard detectives in one or two
years work in the British metropolis.
London, with it's dense population. has
a police force of about $4,000, and the
District of Columbia has. when the
quota is full. less than 1000 men.
The National Capital. however, has
each year about the same number of
murders as London. the number of
killings in England being much lower
than the rate in any section of the
United States.
washington last year had twenty
seven murders. the second highest
number in the history of the city, and
in every instance the police succeed
ed in clearing up the crime. Arrests
of the guilty parties were made in
twenty-six of the cases. and follow

seven murders FIVE were committed
