And that is real optimism For,

Yesterday the cold drizzle, and gen.

Washingtonians to do their celebrat-

to wear raincoats and storm boots
and use taxis or limousines.
Plenty of Food; Plenty of Tea.
But despite the rain clouds and

a happy New Year in Washington,
honored by n-Hooverized dinners and

Nor did Washington. in the midst OF
her rejoicing, forget the absent ones,
sending greetings TO sons and friends
away from the city. either across
seas or in other parts of the United
States. Chief among the New Year
greetings sent across the Atlantic was
the cablegram to President Wilson,
carrying the best wishes of fifty-nine
OF the business men of Washington.
President Wilson's New Year cable
reads:

Name a Street for Allies
Is Plea Sent EUery City
Nationwide Campaign to Honor National
Comrades-in-Arms Begun by National
Committee of Patriotic Societies.

Will Washington have a Foch ave-
nue., a Diaz boulevard, or a Haig
square?
William Mather Lewis. executive
of Patriotic Societies, last night put
this question before District officials
when he issued a national letter call
ing upon every city in the country
to begin the new year of peace by
naming a street in honor of our allies
in the great war.
Vice President Marshal says the
suggestion has his heartiest approval
Maj. Raymond Pullman, Superin-
tendent of Police, pointed out last
night that such course would merely
be returning a courtesy paid us by
our allies.
NJ A. Leese. president of the Mer,
chants and Manufacturers, Associa'
ton, says he believes the idea a very
acceptable one.
Power Rests with Congress.
Mr.. Leese called attention to the
test that the power to rename g
Washington street rests with Con
gress. He recalled the three attempts
to rename Sixteenth street to Avenue
of the Presidents.
William Mather Lewis, in speaking
OF the application of his plan to. the
National Capital, suggests that an ap-
propriate allied name be selected fol-
the much mooted Million Dollar
Bridge"

Lewis sets forth in his letter to the
mayor of every city in the United
States, by naming avenues after
President Wilson and Gen. Pershing

courtesy.
Furthermore, the European coun-
tries have sacrificed historic and eu-
phonious names to do US honor. No
American city would feel the loss OF
Main street or First avenue when its

cit is also high time that our Bis

streets and Kaiserhofs change their
titles to something a little less un-
American.

Vice President Marshall called at
tention to the fact that there should
be enough changes in the names OF
streets In a city to include an the
leading war heroes Of the complex

plane Scars Overhead.

New York. Jan, 1.-The American
transport Northern Pacific, with a
cargo OF human freight. 2,4a soldiers,
many of them wounded, is sandbound
in ships graveyard" of Fire Island,
tonight, the plaything of the seas.
Two lines have been placed aboard
the ship and arrangements have been
made to remove the passengers and
crew in a breeches buoy should de-
mand arise. Six destroyers and a
transport Of the United States Navy
are standing by, to meet any emer-
gency.
The vessel drove her nose into the
great sand bar between Point of Woods
and Fire Island early today while
cropping her way through a heavy fog.
Owing to the heavy seas, dense fog
and a southwest wind, efforts to reach
the vessel with line failed for more
than ten hours.
No Immediate Danger.
Finally Lieut.. Comm. B. N. Chase,
commandant of the Fire Island ma
val air station. circled the ship in
a hydroplane. While he said that
the ship was in no immediate dan
ger. he offered to carry line to her.
Capt. L. J. Connolly of the Northern
Pacific thanked him and replied that
he did not think the risk would be
necessary.
The Northern Pacific has 2,4Sl
American troops aboard and carries
a crew of 500 men and sailed from
Brest. France, on Christmas day
Capt. Connolly had promised the
men returning from service over
seas that he would put them on
Broadway for the Nsw Years day
celebration. As a result of their be-
lief that they would be in New York,
IL not home. for the 1919 festivities,
it is said. many of them were uG-
able to sleep for the last two nights.
When they learned for sure, how
ever, that they had been "outlucked'
by the elements an old fashioned
celebration was started aboard ship
Every Soldier Safe.
No apprehension for the safety of
the well and wounded troops on board
the ship was entertained by navy off,
cials tonight, although the opinion
was expressed that it probably would
be impossible to float the big vessel
within the next three or four days.
The Northern Pacific is 500 feet long
and has a carrying capacity of 3,255
tons. She was built at the Cramp
Shipyards in Philadelphia in 1915 for

accomplish for information to be
placed at the disposal of the Ameri-

Their task is nothing less than that
of estimating a bill of damages to be
presented to Germany for havoc
wrought in France and Belgium. In
comparison with this tremendous ef-
fort the inquiry into the Standard OIL
or railroad merger in America was
child's play.
Unofficially France, Britain and
Belgium have announced in round
figures the damages which they ex-
pect to collect from Germany. The
total of these figures stagger COM
prehension and is reported to ex-
coed the entire wealth of the former
empire.
The commission while not ques-
tioning these unofficial figures to
be in a position to know from its
own experts approximately the total
damage wrought on the West Front
before the final stages of these con-
ferences set in. 1t therefore asked

ANNUAL MANUEVERS
Officers and Men to Be Kept
Constantly at Fighting
Pitch.

Two great fleets of equal size and
strength. one in the Atlantic and the
other in the Pacific. working in con-
slant rivalry and competition. is the
plan Of Secretary Daniels to keep his
proposed biggest navy in the world"
keyed up to fighting pitch. The Sec
retary unfolded his plan before the
House Naval Affairs Committee yes
terday.
The two-feet scheme will be put into
operation during the coming summer.
One OF the most competent admirals
in the navy will be put in command
OF the Pacific feet, and the officer per.
sonnel will be maintained with as few
changes as possible for two years.
The Secretary believes this policy will
develop in the new major force the
same interest which in the past has
made the Atlantic feet the pride Of
America.
Frequent War Maauevers-
Elaborate war msneuvers will be
staged frequently. he said. The twU
fleets will meet in battles which will
approach as close TO real hostilities as
possible without firing actual shells
The new Pacific policy was brought
out by Representative Kettner. OF
California, who asked Mr.. Daniels
what were the departments plans for
returning a naval force to the West
coast.
Much consideration has been given
to the organization OF the fleets after
the war" the Secretary said. Il dis

iiers and sailors who sacrificed their
lives in the world war was held at
the court house in Kahoka Monday.
Nearly all the townships in the county
sent representatives.
The meeting was called to order at
1890 a. m. by F. Z. Greenlee, temper
airy chairman. Rev. s. O. BorlaEd

court house was taxed to actommo-
date the crowd. After few pre-
liminary remarks by the chairman
Rev. c. e. Newton was called to the
platform and made short address
favorable to the project, in whatever
form the people chose to erect He
was followed with short talks by SOL
der boys who had but recently re-
turned from France. The boys ad-
mitted that 1t was much more diff
cult for them to face an audience
and attempt to make speech than It
was to face the Germans In the front
line trenches. Each made few re-
marks and were given hearty ap-
Eplause by the crowd.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation made its report and named c.
E. Bloom, permanent chairman; S. s.
Ball, vice chairman; and Rev. S. o.
Borland, secretary. The latter de-
clined to serve and Rev. G. e. New
ton was elected. Mr. Bloom was not
present at the meeting and Mr.. Ban
was called to preside. The remainder
of the session was resolved into a
general discussion OF Just what the
memorial should be. Some Of the
delegates favored community build
ing, some were in favor OF hospital,
but the predominating sentiment was
for a new court house. with suitable
rooms set aside for memorials to the
soldier boys and such relics of the
war as could be secured. Many in
the audience were requested to ex-
press their views and several spoke
in favor Of the different projects. A
motion prevailed to adjourn the meet
ing to Saturday, March 90, aud in the
meantime the duly elected delegates
were requested to ascertain as nearly
as possible the sentiment in their re-
spective townships anent the propo-
sition.
On the whole the meeting was
fine success and will result in the I'LL

rial to the soldiers and sailors Of
