| The business in hand is to receive all
 manner of Red Cross supplies as they reach France and to issue them on
 acquisition and ship to the place desig
 mated. This organization has nothing to do with the purchasing of supplies
 or with soliciting funds for the Red
 Cross, that all being handled by other organizations, the entire organization
 in France being under the control of
 Major Murphy.
 MT. Douglas had many visits while in France with Maj. John c. Green
 way, formerly of Warren, this county, now with the engineering corps on the west front. Major Greenway is said to be in good health and as anx- ious to serve his country faithfully as ever.
 An Exciting Trip
 Coming over the Atlantic ocean MT. Douglas had an interesting and ex- citing experience. He was on q re- turning transport vessel For four days after departure from France the vessel was under the protection of convoy, during which everyone jn board were required 70 wear a life hNANs W AACA AACf CApOA NALn a U-boat came the life belts had been laid aside by order of the captain of the vessel. The transport carried eighteen guns. When 700 miles out from New York one day the cap tain of the vessel had his atten- tion called to life boats four miles ahead loaded with people Soon he changed the course of the vessel to avoid the life boats, evidently having seen something suspicious that there [ was danger in the vicinity. When op- l posite the life boats and about three | miles away the watch in the tower !. discovered the wake of torpedo. The | engines were quickly stopped and the | vessel quickly turned to avoid a broad | side strike and the torpedo passed on about seventy-five feet from the yes sel. The transport made a speedy get away without being harmed. l. was afterwards learned that the Ger nan U-boat had sunk a vessel and was 10 doubt lingering in the vicinity cx- 1eeting another vessel might come dong. The people in the life boats would have been rescued by the trans port had it not been attacked by the J-boat.

Chancellor ACTION
OND.C.RENTSFADES

With the adjournment of the second
session of the Sixty-fifth Congress the
possibility OF any legislation in re-
Iation to rent profteering in the Dis
trlct becomes more remote than ever.
Serious discussion o. the probability
OF action to hold down rentals here
has practically ceased at the Capitol,
and it is doubtful whether II will be
revived in the winter session which
will begin ten days hence.
The profiteering measure is only
one OF a long LIST of District bills
that failed OF passage. However,
pending. bills do not lapse until the
end of the Congress, March 4.
Rent Clash Obstruction.
The clash between CHAIRMAN Ben
johnson, of the House District Com
mittee. and Senator Pomerene and
some other Senators on the District
Committee over rental questions
for the District because it made II
difficult for the two committees to
work in cooperation.
Nothing conclusive was done as to
the telephones, the street railways, or
the Washington Market Company.
The fact that the Government has
taken over the telephones, however,
will obviate the need of action in re-
lation to them.
The session just closed made large
appropriations for housing in the
District, for the Washington Navy
Yard. and for buildings in the Capital,
chiefly temporary structures.
rhe District was authorized to ac-
quire a garbage plant and dispose of
the garbage itself.
The Measures Passed.
Among other District measures
passed by the session just closed,
which has lasted nearly a year, are
the minimum wage bill for women
and minors; the bill for a reorganized
national guard in the District; the
bill to erect a statue of James Bu-
chanan in Meridian Hill Park; post
ponement of the effective date Of the
law relating to alley dwellers until
a year after the war: authorization
of Government fuel yards in Wash
ington.
The bill for q two-platoon system
for the Fire Department has not yet
finally passed, but probably will pass
early the coming winter.
Among the bills that failed to pass
are the one to pension teachers, and
the measure for additional justices for
the District Supreme Court; also the
bill to overhaul the law relating to
weights and measures in the District,
and the measure for a commission to
study the question of greater water
supply for Washington.
