OFFICERS PLEAD
FOR PROMENADE
Ring Around the Rosie " al

By Kutz.

Ring Around the Rosie" only on
a gigantic scale. will soon be the
popular diversion for Washington
young people who flock to the Ell

officers here are carried out.
The idea which these army officers
have in mind is to have a band con-
cert upon the Ellipse every evening
saving it is light until 9 o'clock.
The band concert would OF course
attract lots of people. and the idea
Is that they could stroll around the
circle-the girls going one way and
the men the other-exchanging
bows. smiles or other courteous
greetings. and everybody would have
a good time
Col. Kutz. who has charge of all
the public parks in Washington,
does not seem to take kindly
to this scheme at all. He Is
the first place he says the sidewalk
is not wide enough to accommodate
two streams of humanity flowing N
opposite directions, and besides he
declares that the girls and chaps
wouldn't walk at all, but would sit
around and muss up his nice grass
IF they would only get an officer
in charge of parks who has been
down in Mexico and has seen tie
nice parades they have every even
ing in Mexico City and other places.

MEXICO plotted

Washington, July 5.-Reported at
tempts by the Mexican government to
purchase the support of American
newspapers for spreading Mexican
propaganda, in connection with recent
defense of Mexican policy toward Am
erican oil operators, issued by Gener-
al Candido Aguiiar, son-on- Jaw of
President CarranZa, have been called
to the attention of the state depart
ment. The situation is being watched
by officials here. The Monterey, Mex
leo, organ of the Carranza administra-
ton, first to call public attention to il,
said in discussing the advisability Of
a propaganda campaign in the United
States:
"Our chancellory should know all
the details of this grave question,
should sound all opinions and direct
active press campaign in the United
States; this last is of the utmost i'm
portance. Not one thousand, or one
hundred thousand, but million pesos
if it is necessary. should be spent IN
purchasing Yankee newspapers tthere
are those who will not refuse the
business) so that they will defend us
and in subsidizing writer's of some
prestige who will translate the argu-
ments which our own chancellory will
give them. 1t is necessary to prepare
in the very bosom fthe United States
great part of public opinion in our
favor, taking advantage in order to
do this of the political divisions be-
tween democrats and republicans
General Aguilar, just before he sail
ed for Europe said that the only or
der issued has been that the Mexican
law be enforced"
1t was p ointed out here that Cen
eral Aguilar must have referred to
article 81 of the Mexican constitution
and the DEGREES of President Carranza
to make effective that law. In Office
ial circles it was said this law de-
clared:
I'm the nation is vested legal own
ership of petroleum." and "only
Mexicans by birth. or naturalization
have the right to acquire ownership
in lands, or to obtain franchises to
develop mineral fuels in the republic

Washington July 5.-Two Ameri-
can destroyers were ordered today to
proceed toward the Bay of Fundy
to lend any required assistance to the
British dirigible R-34, which reported
that she was fighting a head wind
over Nova Scotia with her fuel supply
getting low.
The destroyers will put out from
Boston with orders to establish radio
communication with the dirigible as
quickly as possible and also to keep
in touch wit hthe Otter Cliff. Maine,
wireless station.
The message follows:
Signals strong. Position 45:21
north, 64:00 wess. Course southwest
true. Running out of fuel after flight
from Britain. Please tell me if your
destroyers are coming.
(Signed) Commanding Officer
"R-34"
Lieutenant Colonel Lucas believed
that Major Scotts message was sent
by him after the R-34's call for aid.
He also thought it probable the di-
rigible would have to land to re-fuel,
but would then proceed on her jour
nye to Mineola.
This message was sent to the R-34
by radio from the Otter Cliff station
at 2:19 p. M.
"U. S. s. Satilla left Cross Island,
Maine. at 1890 p. m. to assist you,
Two destroyers leave Boston, will COM
municate with you.

This dispatch from lne command
ant of the first naval district was re-
ceived at the navy department at

~. S. S. Satilla left Cross Island,
Machias, Maine, at 1880 to the assist
anCe of the R-34. L. S. S. Stevens and
U. S. S. Bancroft will leave navy yard
Boston about p. m. to the assistance
of the R-34. Submarine chaser 407 or
dered from Bar Harbor, Maine, to the
assistance of the R-34 at the same
time that it was forwarded OF the navy
department, so that the commander
OF the dlriglDle might know what YES
sells were coming to his assistance. 1t
is believed that the delay in getting
the destroyers away from Boston was
caused by lack of steam. They were
at the navy yard for minor repairs.
Commander of the destroyers were
instructed to attempt to intercept he
R-34 in the Bay Of Funday to establish
radio communication as quickly as
possible and to keep the commandant
at Boston informed of the progress of
the search. 1t was said at the navy
department that additional desroyers
and possibly a cruiser might be order
ed later to the assistance of the di-
rgible.

London, July 5.-The New York
World service exclusive interview
with Admiral Rheinhardt Won Scheer,
in his retirement near Weimar, is
given marked prominence in the Brit
ish press today. The New York corre-
spondents of the Times. Daily Tele-
graph and some other newspapers
cabled copious extracts from the re-
marks and criticisms made by the for
mer commander of the German high
seas fleet.
They laid stress on Admiral Won
Scheer's expression of joy that Ger
man warships at Scapa Flow had been
sunk by their officers and crews and
upon the admiral's statement that, had
Admiral Jellicoe displayed the spirit
of Nelson" and attacked with the
British grand fleet, he would have
won the war in its early stages.
The interview has been widely read
by naval men here, and most of them
have tendency to believe that Ad-
miral Won Scheer was talking for
home consumption. This view is held
by Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, G. c..
B., a distinguished naval authority,
who remarked when the United States
entered the war:
Talking to Home Gallery.
America has called Germany's
bluff. Germany loses"
Won Scheer was talking to the
home gallery in a good deal of what
he said" Sir Cyprian told the corre-
spondent today. II do not regard him,
and never have regarded him, as a
genius. He seems to know little of
the fundamentals of naval warfare
when he says the British navy had not
the spirit of Nelson. and intimates
that Nelson would have attacked at
the beginning of the war.
THAT is all wrong. Nelson never
pitted his ships against land fort
resses. Nor were our ships built to
attack such fortresses in this war.
They We're built to be pitted against
an enemy's vessels. Nelson alwats
tried to lure enemy vessels from their
harbors. 1t was not our policy need
lessly to risk our ships early in the

Washington, July 5.-Complaints
have reached Representative Roden-
berg of Illinois that soldiers and
marines are being required to pay ex-
change at certain banks when they
get their checks cashed In particular
Mr.. Rodenberg has received com
plants that enlisted men at Quantico,
Va, are required to pay a fee to a
certain bank in that vicinity before
they can get the money on their gov
ernment checks. While the amount is
small per man, Mr.. Rodenberg points
out that it means an enormous ag-
gregate if it is carried on In many lo-
Calities. He has asked the comptrol-
Ter of the currency for facts about 1t
and he has also presented a resolu-
tion in the house calling on the secre-
tary of war for information,
"Such a charge to the men for get
ting their government checks cashed
is an outrage" said Mr.. Rodenberg.

were ready for them should they have
come out. They remained in port"
Sir Cyprian said Admiral Won Scheer,
like some other naval critics of the
Battle of Jutland. overlooks the fact
that the naval battles of this war were
like the land battles.
Cumulative Effect.
Some people seem to think that the
Battle of Jutland should have been
like a decisive football game" said
the British expert. But Jutiand waS
a battle the cumulative effects of
which were felt to the last day of the
struggle. The Battle of the Marne
was one of the greatest battles in his
tory, but there were many battles
afterward before the war ended"
OF Won Scheer's rejoicing in the
sinking of the German fleet at Scapa
Flow Sir Cypian observed simply:
at is just breach of parole. The
Germans sought an armistlce and
then violated this part of its terms"
"Bughouse Strategy"
Arthur II. Pollen, a we'll known
naval writer here, declared it would
have been "bughouse strategy" if
Britain had done as Admiral Won
Scheer says she should. and to have
sent the fleet into the Baltic to effect
a landing of British and Russian
troops to take Berlin.
He says: Think of what happened
at Gallipoli and then imagine five or
six times the British members being
thrown onto the German coast, with
the British all talking English and
the Russians their interesting but in
comprehensive language. 1t makes
ones head swim.
There is no necessity to discuss
the bughouse strategy of sending two
thirds at least of the grand fleet and
battle cruisers into the Baltic with no
possibility of keeping the sound open
and so maintaining their communica-
tions with their bases. Imagine aleav-
ing the North sea for the Germans to
command when our two or three army
corps were being sent across the chan
mel to help the French. To begin with,
doubt If there was suitable tonnage
in the Baltic for an expedition of 100,-
900 men, and 900, 900 would have been
needed to take and hold Berlin for a
week" ...,.
