choke out the exquisite blossoms OF
love, tenderness, unselfshness, graft.
tude and the desire to do unto Others
as he would be done by. The love OF
good books Is one foundation for good
character, observes writer In the
Oklahoman. II Is the exception, no,
the rule, to encounter sordidness, greed
or insenslbillty In the man or woman
who knows and loves good books. Rob.

MAY JOIN CITY CLUB #
LIVING WITHIN 50 NILES

Every person of good character and
! high standing living within thirty
miles of Washington can become an
active member of the recently organ
lied City Club. following action taken
by the board of governors of the club.
For several weeks the board has
been besieged with applications from
prominent citizens of Alexandria and
of neighboring Maryland and Virginia
counties, but action on the names was
delayed because of the clubs stipula-
ton that to become an active member
the person had to be a resident of
Washington.
The applicants We're insistent. how
ever, in their request that they be ad-
mitted to the club. They pointed out
that. while not strictly residents of
Washington, they visited the city al
most daily to transact business and to
take part in civic activities. They
explained that. while residing outside
the limits of the District. they felt
that they had a very definite interest
in the affairs of Washington. and that
consequently they should be regarded
as WaShingtonanS
The board OF governors held a long
session yesterday afternoon to consider
the formal admission to the club Of
more than 200 applicants. The names
were recommended by the committee
on membership, of which Charles w
Semmes is chairman. This commit
tee had carefully investigated each
application. checking up the indorsers
and obtaining the customary informa-
ton concerning the character and
standing of the would-be members
Club officers have ordered careful in
vestigation of each application. so tina
the high character of the membership
may be maintained. The board of gov
errors probably will announce the list
of new members tonight.

an accordance with their status of

lied to the extent that the German
admiral was permitted to visit the
ships, and correspondence with the
sick, doctors and chaplains was dis
tributed by the British boats. Coal,
oil and water were supplied by Brit

supplies came from Germany. Mails.
both outgoing and ingoing, Were cen
sored.
The conditions of internment
placed the internment of the ships
under the surveillance of the allies,
SO that if hostilities Were renewed
the latter would be in a position to
seize the ships. They still however,
remained German property, with
German personnel in charge of their
upkeep. and accordingly facilities of
intercommunication could not be de
MED to the German admiral who was
in charge of the discipline and the
intermert economically.
IF d British guard had been put on
board these ships it would have been
an unquestionable breach of the terms
of the armiStice.
The care and maintenance parties
on board had been reduced from 100
to 1000, men being sent back to Ger

of discipline. No men were sent from
Germany TO take their places.
Admiral Won Reuter- stated verbally
that on his own responsibility he had
given orders for the ships to be sunk,
being under the impression that the
armistice had ceased on Saturday.
Great Britain acted in this matter
as she has acted on every other matter
in this war. She has adhered. to the
terms of the armistice and has'obeyed
