That American enterprise and Brit

are the factors that will eventually
produce an ideal Journalism. was the
opinion expressed by Frederic Will

newspaper correspondent in Germany
and at present member of the staff
of the London Daily Mail. in his ad-
dress. shop Talk" at the National
Press Club last night.
Mr.. Vile. who was thrust into pris-

between Germany and England. and
subsequently released owing to his
possessing an American passport. told
of the cordial relation now existing
between the British and American
press. and spoke of the wonderful
work accomplished by American cor
respondents throughout the war.

CHARGES D|SCOURTESY
TO CRIPPLED SOLDIERS
Captain J. 7. Watson Says Car
Conductors Start Vehicles
TOO Soon"

Complaint that wounded soldiers
those hobbling on one leg with the
aid of crutches and those just learn
ing to use artificial limbs-are shown
no consideration by street car con-
ductors is made in letter written to
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company by Joseph T. Watson a cap
tain of infantry now a patient at
Walter Reed Hospital.
This is the second protest made by
Capt. watson. who says conductors
have told him they have received no
orders to correct the evil complained
of. The letter asserts that the cars
are staretd while the crippled veter-
ans are still on the step or the plat
form OF cars and that no time is
glyen them to get to seats.
capt. watson. who has an artificial
leg, writes that last night two one
Legged soldiers preceded him in
boarding a Takoma Park car at 9Th
ana u streets and that the car was
started when the first man was In the
door the second on the edge of the
platform and the captain himself on
the step of the car The soldier on the
platform was thrown against a civil
nan and but for his aid might have
fallen Off the car. according to the
ofhcer. After reciting the alteration
with the conductor of the car, Capt.
watson continues:
The point of this letter. is not so
much the reprehensible conduct of the
conductor. which was bad-enough. as
is the TACT that for many months past
your employees have shown less con-
slderatlon for wounded men on
clutches who are compelled to use
