than to act as guides and information
officers"
General Harris asserted that he was
heartily in favor Of permitting as
many officers as Is possible to visit
the French capital before they return
to the United States, and said that
there is no doubt that they will con-
tipue to behave themselves as well as
they have in the past
''The impression has been too pre-
valent in the United States" said
General Harris, chat Paris, the pleas
ure city, is composed entirely OF
montmartre resorts and inhabited by
questionable women. As a matter of
fact that is entirely erroneous and all
these American troops who have been
in Paris are going to do a whole lot
toward dispelhng that idea when
they return to their homes in
America
Investigation shows that the great
preponderance of American officers
and men having a day or so to pass
in Paris while in transit invariably
visit such well-known places as
Notre Dame, the Louvre. the Made
leine, the Sacre Occur, the Eiffel
Tower, the Bots de Cologne. the Bas-
title Monument, the Tuilleries Gar
dens, and the Invalides.
They are temperate in their habits,
and this situation is largely eased
through the lack of whiskey over
here, and a glass Of beer. with a little
wine at meals is all that they drink
as a general thing"
General Harris has organized a
highly efficient force Of NJ. P's who
are posted all over the city. day and
night. They are stationed at all rail-
way stations and at intersections of |

ANOTHER APPEAL.

The organization of a Polish-Amer-
lean relief committee to aid the starv-
ing Poles was urged today by the
Polish headquarters in Paris. In a
cablegram to the Polish headquarters
here, attention was called to the fact
that Poland was confronted with
famine and that there was urgent
need for quick action. John SmuIski.

Washington several days comforting

! known. and the commission would in
vestigate this phase closely before
entertaining any move for further
revenues.
The population Of Washington has
not been reduced, as some people
thought. Official figures show this,
and the damned condition of street
cars is further testimony.
COmmisiOn's Trump Card.
When the commission granted the
recent increase it did so as an emerg-
ency measure. Its policy for years
had been to allow returns upon PUB
Lie UTILITIES, BASED ON THEIR
VALUATIONS.
The Commission has not fixed the
valuation Of the properties Of the two
electric lines. It would hesitate a
long time before making another in
crease in fares unless it did so with
its own valuations before II. Briefly
put, the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company is today paying reason
able returns upon $15,OO0,0OO Of capital
stock and over 100000 Of bonded in
debtedness. This does not include the
capital stock, and bonded debt of the
City and Suburban line; Georgetown
and TenleytOwn line, Forest Glen and
Bladensburg lines. They are controlled
by the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company.
From revenues derived from the peo-
pie Of Washington, therefore, the COM
pany Is paying returns upon an enor-
nous capital stock and a pretty large
bonded debt The capital stock OF the
company is divided between Ss,5o00O0
common and $4,000 preferred. Each
Is paying 5 per cent dividends each
10 - n
last year, when strike losses from tho
previous year reduced II.
The presumption has been that the
would not find the valua-
ton OF the properties anything like
the claims of the company, and conse- |
quently the revenues necessary would |
not be as great as now collected to |
pay returns upon the outstanding val |
1ation.
In the case OF the Capital Traction, |
the capital stock is $12 100000, all pre- |
'erred, and bonded indebtedness au-
-hOrized $4,000. 900, most Of which is |
Actual Valuation Basis.
In pressing their claims for in |
reased revenues, which the companies |
nave set out to Go, they are practically /
to find the Utilities Commits
ZION determined that it will grant no
urther increases Of fares until il /
,nows what revenues should be allow
ID to give reasonable returns upon
lctual valuation
It is possible for the commission
o take the position that it prefers a
authorize additional bond sales as a
Measure of giving necessary revenues
ather than resort to a Scent or z
ent fare, which the companies them
elves believe would still leave them
n a problematical situation, depen-
ent upon the attitude of the public.
n many cities the companies have
AIRED little better financially under
increased fares than under the old
ares, inasmuch as the public riding
hort distances started to walking,
utting revenues heavily.

AWHISKEY IN HOME"
CASE IS Up TODAY

The case brought by James White
before Judge Hardison in the United
States branch of the Police Court, fol-
lowing the cOnfiscation by the police
Of fourteen-and-a-half cases of
whiskey from his home in 435 Six
and-one-half street southwest, was
to have been heard this morning, but
pressure of business caused il to be
delayed. 1t will be heard late this
afternoon.
The decision Of the court is expected
TO clear up the question as to whether
a citizen Of the District Of Columbia
may keep whiskey in his home undis-
turbed by the police, or whether the
police may enter any citizens home
and seize whiskey or the suspicion
that it is being kept there for illegal
purposes.
Contrary to expectations. when the
court convened no subpoena had been
served on either Major Raymond Pull
man. Superintendent Of Police. or upon
E. B. Hesse, property clerk of the.
Police Department.
Case Attracting Interest.
Robert 1. Miller, attorney for White.
had asked that these two officials APP
pear before Judge Hardison to explain
why they were holding Mr.. Whites
fourteen and a half cases. but later
consented TO argue the case with no
police official present other than
SerGt W. g. Stott, VINO had seized the
liquor.
II Judge Hardison decides in favor
or Mr.. White, police officials will not
have the right to enter a citizens
home and take liquor from him or
suspicion that it is being held for lille
gal purposes. If Judge Hardison de-
cides otherwise, the police will pursue
the policy under which they have been !
operating for several months past, and |
will continue their relentless war upon 1
the stocks of liquor hidden away in /
many Washington homes, if they have I
the idea that the liquor is held for |
Illegal purposes.
Claim Illegal Purpose
In making up a case against White. /
the Government cOntended that the I
liquor was for illegal purpose.
His attorney contended that the
seizure Of the liquor was a violation
Of the constitutional rights of citi-
zens and also in conflict with the doc
trine Of law that every mans house
Is his castle"
When the first case was tried As
sistant Corporation Counsel Stephens
to defend the seizure How
aver, the attorney for the defendant
attacked the methods OF
he police and demanded that the
of police and his
clerk be brought to court to
explain just why they had taken his
'lient's property. Ii

CONGRESS TO
INSIST UPON
ACCOUNTING
BY CARRANZA
BY L. c. MARTIN.

Make Mexico pay" is the demand
raised with ever growing emphasis
in Congress these days.
So strong has the demand grown
that the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee has agreed to report i'm
mediately a resolution directing the
State Department to begin vigorous
action to force Caranza's government
to an accounting.
Those demanding this accounting
want these two things:
First-Prompt payment by Mexico
Of claims of Americans who have suf-
fered loss through bandit raids or
attacks Of Mexican federal troops in
Mexico.
Second-Adoptiou by this Govern
ment Of an attitude which will con-
stitute a rebuke to Mexico for vir-
tually siding with Germany in the
war.
Charge Big Business.
Discussion Of the Mexican question
In Congress, as elsewhere, has always
brought the charge that those de-
handing vigorous action are working
for American "biE business" That
charge has been revived. but whether
If is true or not, the situation Is not
changed by It The demand for ac-
ton exists.
Senator King Of Utah is the author
OF resolution directing the State De-
partment to report at once whether
claims OF American citizens compiled
months ago have been laid before the
Mexican government. and II not, why
they are being held up.
Senator Hitchcock, chairman OF the !
Foreign Relations Committee, has
promised his committee will at once
report this resolution" said King to- |
day. 81 believe the feeling OF a ma |
jority Of the Senate can be expressed |
by saying that Mexico should now
make return for the patience and for |
bearance OF President Wilson by set
thing these accounts, which affect |
thousands Of American citizens
Sided with Germany.
'Tn spite Of our kindness to Mexico, !
our efforts to help her, her govern (
ment chose in the great war to side 4
against the entente and with Ger
many. Mexico was a hotbed Of Ger
man intrigue. This Government, Of !
course, will do nothing violating the /
high ideals we have always followed 4
in dealing with other nations, par I
Licularly weak ones, but the time for
with Mexico has ended.
We should see that never again can
our enemies stand at our threshold
and work against US, with the con-
II not the actual help, Of our
neighbour"

Other who wants Congress to prod
The State Department into action with
respect to American claims against

ically unanimous in support Of King
