Entertainments Dropped.

Entertainments Dropped
 Something besides sentiment ia re spunsihie for the vlrtual barring of the doors of the White House. All enter tninments that nre given within the executive mansion precincts are in the natural order of events shared in by the representatives of foreign na- tIons When France. England. Bel gium and Russia. and later Italy. were fighting Germany. Austria. Turkey and Bulgaria if became virtually impossi- ble to give an entertainment at the White House without Including In the list of guests representatives of the cinshing nations. This would have made for embarrassment and SO it was that with very few exception all en- tertnnments were taboo.
 After the United States entered the war there were no entertainments gwen at the White House
 Durlne the Civil war White House entertainments were not given over entirely. The circumstances of the case were somewhat different from those of the past five years. The country was in the throes of war which might be called one of brother against brother hut there was a feel ing among the high officials of govern ment at that time that fl was good for the United States to keep up sem hlance of things normal. II wns the personal viewpoint. Lincoln had one and Wilson seems to have another.
 In England at the outbreak of the present war the people showed de termination to keep to their ordinary pursuits In life ns much as was posSl- ble. It was the feeling of the men and women of England no matter how much their hearts might be east down. that II was better to buoy themselves up and the nation up by keeping things as nearly normal as possible.
 Matter of Viewpoint.
 In France il WAS different. The French people looked at the matter from different standpoint thnn that from which the English were viewing it They shut all their theaters except those producing serious plays and those showing moving pictures of Il kind to inspire patriotism. The French went into mourning garb, while the English did not. Again 1t would seem as If the entire question wns one of n personal. or, If you will. national view point.
 During the presidents absence in Europe the White House offices were kept open. but only for the transaction of necessary business The usual gatherings of senators and representa- lives on business bent were no more in evidence.
 Now all Is changed. and changed for the better. for the atmosphere about the great house on Pennsylvania ave nue for the last five years has been de pressing. IL was the center of all things and suddenly II seemed to be. except for the presence of one man. the center of nothing. The daily pill grlmages of senators, representatives and ca apet officers have started again.

WHITE HOUSE |S
 AGAIN CENTER
OLD ACTIVITIES RESUMED WITH RETURN OF PRESIDENT
 FROM FRANCE
WILL RESUME SOCIAL LIFE
For Five Years Executive Mansion Has Been Closed to All Forms of Entertainment, but With Ending of War it Again Comes to Life.
By EDWARD 8. CLARK.

Washington,-onc more the doors of the White House swing outward and inward. There are lights in the win dows by night, motors approach and depart by day. and what was lifeless Is life.
 The old days of the White House probably have returned to stay. Even while the president Is on his travels members of the family and of the household will remain to keep open the old mansion and to show that the spirit of hospitality once more has lodgment under the roof.
 Never before in the history of the country has the White He 2 been removed for so long time from the social activities and. latterly. from the business activities of the city and the nation. Washington believes that from now on through the years the fine old house within the finer old grounds will take its place as the cen ter of the capitals social life as II Is certain to he the center of the nation s directing energies.
 During the four years of war. ar. more properly speaking. five years, be- cause the armiStice did not necessarily mean pence. the White House re- mained virtually closed against all forms of entertainment. For three years. or almost three years, the Unit ed States was not involved directly in the war. hut the horror of the battle fields in Europe made itself felt. not only in fbe White House but In all the houses of larger entertaining in the city of Washington The president and Mrs. Wilson apparently did not feel that II was the time for entertain ing

Facts Without Pre- Iudice.

Other histories may be more hu- manly interesting and unquestionahly they have the widest kind of Snle. Some of them will approach accuracy, but none of them probably will reach It along every line to the goal. Fa- vcritism and prejudice frequently ca. ter into histories which are written while the men who made the history still are living Such thing is al- most inevitable and the war depart. ment knows 1t. The history of the war which the department will com pile will contain nothing except what was done and how it was done.
 A vast deal of inaccurate history already has been written. The won aer Is perhaps that 1t contains as few errors as ii does.

Seemingly. however, there Is no chance that the United States mate rially will increase It's naval forces in the immediate future, although there are six battle cruisers now building which it Is intended to complete. They will be among the most formidable fighting ships atioat because they will combine terrible offensive qualities with high speed. Naval experts the battle cruiser Is the ship upon which reliance must he placed.
 When the German sailors sunk their ships in Scapa Flow the word went out that some of the ships destroyed were the greatest fighting machines that ever sailed the seas. In one sense they were. hui in another sense they were not The Germans constructed some of their great dreadnaughts for use only In seas close to home. Sev- eral of these great ships were sunk by the Germans in Seapa Flow.
 While these vessels of the Germans were terrible fighting agents they could not have been used far from the home base. They were built for North-sea purposes, and as most of them were built prior to i9l4 proof Is thus adduced that they expected to fight either the English navy, or the ships of the French. expectinb the main fight to take P;aea in the North sea close to their home oase.
 These big dreadnaughts of tle Ger mans were built for heavy fighting purposes and not for cruising pur- poses. It Is doubtful If their crews could have lived on them for any great length of time, Everything was sacri- feed for fighting quarters and for armament. The members of the crew slept in places that looked like metal collins. A week ar two. if Is said, was the longest time that a man could stand this sort of thing.

Splittina Fleet Arouses Debate.

Atlantic and the other on the Pacific. has caused somewhat lively contro- versy In naval circles. and to some ex- tent in civil circles.
 Some of the naval officers say that il Is bad strategy to separate the ships that either fleet could he de stToyed after separation hy cuneen- trutiou in force of an enemy. Some other officers are inclined Ia believe that with the Panama canal in good working order. and with the virtual certainty that an alarm of war would prcCcde actual hostilities by some weeks. the concentration necessary could be accomplished before the en- emy could strike.
 Fo- n great many years there was an insiStent demand from certain quar- ters that Il large fleet be stationed in the Pacific ocean. Some men said that the danger of war lay in the East and nowhere else. Then came the Eu- ropeun war and such danger as there was for us lay in the west of Europe. one naval officer has said that guess Ing about where war Is 10 come from Is protitless business and that the thing to do Is 10 have ships enough to make certain that We can meet the enemy quickly. either East or West.

SHIPPING BOARDS ACTION
CAUSES STRIKE ON COAST
Men Walk Out When Yards Afe In.
structed Not to Pay Agreed
Increase.

Shipyards all along the Pacific
coast except in Seattle are closed
down as the result of the interference
of the United States shipping board.
forbidding the yards to pay the g.
cent-an.hour wage increase recently
agreed on at a conference of Pacific
coast shipyard officials and metal
trades delegates.
The shipping board, the latter part
of last week, notified the yards not to
pay the increase until after the labor
conference at the national capital.
The agreement reached at the con-
ference stipulated that the new wage
was to go into effect October /.
Tuesday the shipping board modified
its original instructions by stating
that the yards could pay the increase
provided It was not charged to the
government. The Seattle yards were
the only ones willing to do that, SO
some $1,000 or $4,000 men went on
strike.

NAMES QUITS AS
COUNTY ENGINEER
RESIGNS MONDAY TO TAKE JOB
WITH STATE HIGHWAY BOARD
WEDNESDAY,.

c. o. Names, who became chief
deputy county engineer under Frank
Weir in 1916 and was elected county
engineer last year for 2-year term,
filed his resignation with the county
commissioners last Monday, effective
Wednesday, October 1st, and left to
take job with the state highway de-
partment as engineer on road con-
struction near Forks, in western Clal-
lam county.
The resignation, which was not
wholly unexpected rs Names had
been endeavoring to get more salary
out of the county for some time. was
no action toward choosing his success
sor has been taken, Commissioner J..
c. Sans says. adding that he hasn't
"the slightest idea" who will be
named.
There has been some friction be-
tween Names and the commissioners
for several months, but the compell-
ing reason for his resignation is
stated by board members to be that
he obtained job with the state high
way department at a considerably
higher salary than the county was
paying. which is $133 a month
Before resigning he had made sew
eral proposals to the commissioners
bearing on methods whereby he could
obtain a higher salary. Last spring
he proposed to resign as county engi-
neer providing the commissioners
would name him construction engi-
neer at $175 a month. They refused
to do that, and later he sought per-
mission to add to his salary by doing
work for the state on the road i'm
provements it is handling in this
county. which was also refused
The commissioners had known for
some time that he was seeking a
place with the state highway depart
ment and so were not surprised when
he rendered his resignation, though
some of them feel he should have
served out the term for which he was
elected. Instead of that, he served
jr st nine months of it, having taken
Office last January.
When he first came to Thurston
county Names located at Tenino,
serving as city engineer there during
the period whom its paving was laid.
When Frank Weir was elected county
engineer in 1916. he appointed
Names his chief deputy and when
Weir went overseas in the summer of
1917 with an engineer regiment,
Names and former County Engineer
w. Fl. Yeager handled the affairs of
the Office under an arrangement
made with the commissioners until
the election of 1913, when Names
was a candidate for the Office and was
elected.
