It is these questions that are bothering the other candidates not little and sending them broadcast in search of votes and subscriptions. Late starters, who thus far have shown only luke warm interest, are adding to the uncertainty by giving evidence of real hustling. The only way to safeguard yourself against future untoward happenings - that might leave you just outside the pale. of those who win-is to make every day count and to hustle as never before.

COLORED TROOPS
HAD FUN FIGHTING

Here are two classics from the front,
as related by Major Granville Forte
scue, U. s. A. when he told members
oc the National Geographic Society
about the Argonne forest fight yes
terday:
"Our boys got a lot Of joshing about
being somewhat late for the war. A
husky. big muscled Australian pulled
the old wheeze on Ianky. raw-boned
VIrginian, Say, Yank, when you gonna

fright now drawled the Virgin
ian, but that was the only slow thing
about his subsequent movements. The
war began for both on the spot.
And here's another: The colored
troops got the most fun out of this
war. The rest of us were inclined to
be more serious. An officer was eX-
amining a colored dOughboy about
what he would do under various cir
cumstances.
Suppose said the officer, you
were alone at the front and saw fif-
teen or twenty Germans coming
through the barbed wire. What would
you do them
" 4 sure would spread dat news,
sub, I sure would"
The Argonne battle VIII be the fire
side engagement for years to come,
and no one yet can give a compre-
hensive picture of it; so the speaker
told only some of the incidents he
saw.
To get even a tiny picture of the
transportation problem, he said, one
would have TO picture the road from
Rockville to Washington, with canvas
strung from poles along one side by
way OF camOulflage, and vehicles,
guns, and trucks crOwding each other
for space.
But the weird contrast would come
when the time for the movement was
up, and then the road would be as
clear as il it had been deserted for
years. Never have / known a move
ment to be delayed by strasglers," he
said.

the past Ii has been pointed out that
Italy is hardly in a sufficiently inde-

condition to withdraw. and that such
a course could scarcely be regarded
as polite.
Regard FIume Question Seriously.
There is no doubt the Italians re-
gard the Fiume question very serious
ly. They emphasize the fact that 2S,-
900 of the city's 10000 Inhabitants are
Italians. They also refuse to nego-
tiate in any way with the JugO-Slavs,

Progress in the publicity campaign
to put the question of a ballot for
voteless Washington before the cOun-

today from widely-separated sources.
A telegram from Robert J. Patter-

,'facturers of America, stated that the
organization is back OF the movement
and has sent a petition to Congress
asking that the District be given suf-
frage.

that the publication in its April issue
devOtes considerable space to the

LOAN REPAYMENTS

With nearly 1900, ,OO0O. 900 American
dollars scattered throughout Europe
in the form Of loans, Treasury off,
cials here today were giving careful
study to possible outgrowths Of the
complicated situations developing
across the water.
Information has reached this Gov
ernmeut that it may have to await
its turn in receiving repayments OF
money advanced to European coun-
tries-Bngland, France, and Italy are
understood to be claiming priority.
Meantime the "red menace" in Russia
and the Balkan states affects nearly
$3.50 600, 900 in American loans there.
Serbia has been advanced $27, ,OOO,-
600, Czech-Slovakia has received
S35 900, and Rumania also has
received large sums.
The spread of Bolshevism, probable
reduction of indemnities to be paid
by Germany, ard the uncertainty as
to political boundaries OF small ma
tions helped by the United States
combine to affect the financial situa-
tion.
And, in event of England, France,
and Italy being paid of first on some
inter-aIlied loans, a large amount of
the "pay-on-demand" paper held by
the United States Treasury may have
to be changed into long-term obliga-
tions. Foremost mentioned among
these is the 100000 loaned to
Belgium by the United States. Larger
sums were extended Belgium-and
most Of them long before America
contributed-by the other allies.

STRACCIAR'SSONGS
WIN HIM OVATION

Riccardo Straeciari. baritone,
brought ''bravos" from his audience
at the National Theater yesterday -af-
ternoon. when this Italian opera sing
er concluded his recital program with
the Largo al factotum" from Ros-
sini's Barber Of Seville"
This was the first appearance Of
Stracciari In Washington, and he
closed sthe fourth series Of ten-star
concerts. that T. Arthur Smith has Of
fered the public at popular prices.
Signor Stracciari has q full-voiced
wealth Of voice that awakens enthu-
siasm, and in his opera selections,
that also include the aria, ''Oh, caste
flor" from RE d'LahOre'' Of Massenet,
he was subtle as we'll as vibrantly
dramatic. His top voice was rich and
warm and resonant, and in a group Of
old Italian songs the suave quiet OF
the even Song" by Mililotti, was
full Of the shadows it's words implied.
But in his singing OF songs, Signor
Stracciari becomes monotonous, not
telling his story with much vocal va
riety. He put little sunlight into the
charming "Bonjour SuZon" Of Delibes,
and there was a throatiness in his
singing that may have been caused
by q slight cold. AS artist his most
effective song was the negro spirit
ual" -"Go Down. Moses" that showed
admirable climax building and a no
table forte. AS encores he sang
Neapolitan folk song, "COr in grata,"
"'Summer Roses OF Dunkels, and
after his ovation at the close, he gave
TostPs "L'Aprile."
Signor Zarto, at the piano, played
accompaniments that were delicate
gems, graceful and sympathetic in
temperament. AS solOist Signor Zarto
played a Rachmaninoff "Melodie," the
Chopin "POIonaise Militaire" and the
Rachmaninoff prelude" Xxx. He Is
dynamicaIly dramatic in his playing
sacrificing by his too much tempera-
ment much excellence in his art. He
created excellent pedal effects and
lovely close to the prelude, but he
was too brilliant, aggressively so.

FRENCH GROW CYNICAL
OVER CONTINUED FAILUR
OF PEACE TABLE TO ACT

PARIS, April 5.-Even the conserv-
etives OF the French press, exasper-
ated by lack Of the most remote scrap
Of constructive news from the peace
conference were slipping deeper into
the slough Of despoud today.
Nevertheless there was a general
feeling that the day is almost at hand
when some sort Of decision must be
announced.
Possibility Of an Easter peace" was
c8ught up hopefully by the public,
following Foreign Minister Pichon's
recent speech, but some persons on
the inside apparently believe the ne
gotiations will end in a peace Of half
way measures, trusting to the league
of nations to work out gradually what
It Is impossible to solve now.
Paris pessimists emphasize that
most % the peace delegates promise
the folks at home more than they
possibly could deliver, and are now
holding out in the conference for a
maximum Of concessions.
Cynics say Premier Clemenceau ad-
nits that economies are an unknown
sauation to him; that Premier Lloyd
Searge laughs at his own legendary
ignorance Of geography; that 'Presi-
dent Wilson did not know Europe
until heacame 70 the peace conference,
and that Premier. Orlando's policy Is
70 completely disassociate himself
from everything save the Adriatic
question.
Yet these four, the cynics continue,
minus experts or assistants Of any
kind, are determining the fate Of the
world. One critic observed when some
one remarked they had not got any
where: my faith, but perhaps it's 4
good thing they haven't"
The Journal Des Debats more seri-
Oaaly declares:
while the big four Is marking
time a conhagFatiOn is beginning on
the scene Of the old fires which lit
up Europe. Only,th sparks are visi-
BILE now, but unless we watch out the
furnace will break out again"

principal naval strength in the future
will. be concentrated in the Medfter-

thorities.
Malta will be the chief base, but
extensive use will be made OF Glib

Substituting the North Sea fleet the
old channnl fleet will be revived. with
bases at Portsmouth and Davenport.
In all likelihood there viii be an

cruisers OF rather modern type, with
headquarters at Bombay. Schemes Of
reorganization are now well under
way, and it is expected they will be
completed during the summer.
