New York, Dec. H-Astonish-
ment was expressed by the super

ed by Prof. Albert, F. Porta, me-
tereologist. He asserted the
planets were in an ominous posi-

earth was expected.
That the idea gained wide cir

sages from widely separated
points. From Indianapolis word
came that all whistles were blown
but it developed a steam siren
became stuck and~other whistles
joined in for no apparent reason.
Meanwhile newspaper office tele-

 It could be foreseen that a number of additional divisions would become ne- cessary in order to strengthen the End Army, even if the enemy continued the offensive, and that was not certain. Besides our losses in prisoners had been so heavy that c. IT. c. was again faced with the necessity of breaking up more divisions to form reserves.
 Our reserves dwindied. Thc losses of the enemy, on the other hand, had been extraordinarily small.

HOUSTON REPLIES TO
PEPPERS CHARGES
Denies Bankers Back League
to Enforce Peace.

Denial of the charge made by George
Wharton Pepper at Carnegie Hall on
Saturday night that the League to En-
force Peace is financed by a group of in
ternational bankers was made yesterday
by Herbert S. Houston. the national
treasurer of the league. Mr.. Houston
said that since the league was formed
four years ago it has been backed gen.
orally by persons who believe in the
League of Nations and that the average
contribution has been considerably un-
der 800. He offered to permit an ex-
animation Of the books to prove the
statement In all. he said, there have
been about 5000 contributors.
Mr.. Houston recalled that at the time
OF the win the war convention of the
League to Enforce Peace, held in Phila-
delphia a year ago. Mr.. Pepper was one
of the speakers and seemed at that time
to be in favor Of the League of Nations.
He accused Mr.. Pepper OF getting cold
feet when it became apparent that an
actual plan for a League of Nations
would be presented for serious consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Houston then quoted from
his reports of referendums taken on the
League Of Nations question in some
States and quoted statement from a
prominent Massachusetts educator whom
he did not name TO the effect that Sem
ator Lodge had lost public support by his
opposition to the ratification.

DETECTIVE PUNCHES
BURLESQUE QUEENS
Ones Dance Too Risque, So
He Arrests a Dozen.

Twelve burlesque queens" who were
said to have had a part in lively show
running at the National Winter Garden
Theatre, Second avenue and Houston
street, were arraigned in Essex Market
court yesterday with Louis Minsky. their
manager. Detective Henry Hepner said
he acted at the request of James E.
Smith. an Assistant District Attorney, in
attending the show on Saturday night.
He sat through performance that
clearly came under the clauses of section
114O of the Penal Code, he said, and
when one of the women performers
reached the climax and began dancing
he called halt. He went back stage
and pinched the whole outfit.
The counsel for the defendants averred
that the show was no moro indecent than
those given in uptown theatres and
cabarets and pressed for an early date
Of the hearing. Many OF the dancers had
important engagements on the road and
would soon leave town, he said. Magis-
trate Groehl fixed tomorrow for the
next court appearance and paroled the
defendants in custody of their counsel.

jected Is offered under the name, Bur

Big ICE SHORTAGE
Is DUE IN AUGUST
Mayors Committee Issues
Warning to Consumers to
Conserve Supply.
DRASTIC ACTION LIKELY
Hudson River Crop Failure
, Last Winter Responsible
for Serious Outlook.

The Mayors ice committee, OF which
Philip Berolzheimer, City Chamberlain.
is chairman, has issued a circular warn
ing consumers Of the necessity Of max
ing Ice go as far as possible during the
summer months.
From present indications" the warn
ing says. "the city of New York will
face an ice famine this summer. At
best the city will be short some 10000
tons Of ice a day, beginning about the
middle Of August, on account Of the
failure OF the Hudson River ice crop last
winter, when no ice at all was har-
vested.
THE public, therefore. is warned to
restrict the purchase and consumption OF
ice in every way possible. II the con-
some very drastic measures will have to
be taken to insure that the supply will
last longer, and that all whose needs
arc greatest will get some of the Ice"
The committee will distribute with the
circular of warning the following do
nots" (not "don'ts'O prepared by e. J.
O'Malley. Deputy Commissioners OF Pub
lie Markets:
Do not leave ice on dumb waiter to
melt. Collect 1t when delivered to dumb
waiter and Immediately put in ice box.
Avoid opening ice box as much as pos
sible Cold air escapes quickly and
melts ice through the thrush OF warm
air
Wrap ice on top and sides with news
paper. This will prevent meltage. Cold
air goes down through ice box: 1t is
therefore unnecessary to have ice ex-
posed to air when box Is open on top.
Cool iced tea and iced drinks Of all
kinds by putting bottles In ice box. but
not against ice, as this melts ice quickly.
Don't put chopped ice in drinks. This
keeps ice box open and melts ice very
quickly.
Buy a large piece OF ice, because melt
age Is about one-third greater In a
small piece OF ice on account OF sur
rounding air space. For instance. 20
cent piece of ice will last three days. a
Is cent piece one day.
Do not accept ice with hole in centre
This will melt three times as quickly.
The committee announces that a close
watch Is being kept on hotels. restau-
rants, ice cream manufacturers. saloons,
drug stores, Sc, and unless consump-
ton Is reduced at least from 80 to SO
per cent. without any further notice, OF
their own accord, they Will have TO take
the consequences"
The committee also gives notice that
those charging more than the usual re-
tail price Of so cents a hundred pounds
during this ice famine will be arrested on
the complaint of any two persons. The
complaints. properly signed and giving
number and street addresses, should be
m allied to the City Chamberlain, Munich

MAYO TURNS OVER
US. FLEET TO-DAY
Admiral Wilson Takes Charge
and Commander Becomes
Rear Admiral Again.
LONG, HARD TASK ENDS
Thousands Trained OH Vessels
Which Served Also as
Great Naval Force.

Admiral Henry T. Mayo, for three
years commander -in.chief Of the Amer
lean feet, will walk down the gang
plank OF the Pennsylvania to-day ana
take his place in boat manned by his
own staff. AS he is rowed toward shore
Admiral Mayo's flag OF four stars will
be lowered from its place and he VIII
automatically become a Rear Admiral.
The manning OF his boat by the MEM
bers of his stan Is a mark OF respect
paid by them to the Admiral on his re-
tirement to shore duty and a sign OF
the love and reverence Of the men OF
the fleet, from COB to Rear Admiral.
The fleet, which served not only as a
great naval force, both offensive and
defensive, but as a training school for
the thousands Of sailors who later
manned transports and merchant ships
is turned over in fine condition by Ad-
miral Mayo to his successor, Admiral
Wilson. Admiral Mayo found. on TAX
ing command OF the feet three
years ago, that only the battleships
operated with the flag; that is, under
the direct control OF the COMMANDMENT
chief. He, therefore, organized the
forces into one organization, under this
forming the destroyer force. the air
and submarine forces and the train, or
supply vessels of the navy.
When the United states entered the
war it was necessary TO distribute the
various units of the feet over large
areas on more or less diversified duties.
One division of dreadnoughts was sent
TO join the British Grand Fleet and an
other to a base on the Irish coast in
readiness for offensive action against
raiders.
The transport force, cruiser force,
destroyer force, patrol force and mine
force all had their separate duties.

meanwhile training officers and men.
In addition to the sterner duties OF
war. Admiral Mayo saw to 1t that the
lives of all aboard the ships were made
as pleasant as possible. Moving pic
ture shows were given frequently on
the larger shifts and all forms Of sport
were encouraged.
Admiral Mayo will become on shore
the head Of the Selection Board OF the
Navy and will become later a member
Of the General Board OF the Navy De-
