tertainment bills OF the season.

novel laugh-produeers than ever be-
fore is constantly growing.

be the second installment of Martin

Chorus Excellent.

The chorus of eighty voices was eX-
cellent. They sang with an astonish-
ing color and a crisp spirit that gave
many difficult phrases with real pro-
fessional abandon. And they were al
ways a part of the drama, too. The big
choruses were rich and full, although
the male voices were somewhat out
numbered. Rollin Bond was a spirited
conductor, but the orchestra as u
whole did not sustain this very exact
ing score.
The audience prefaced the oIera by
a hearty response in community sing
ing under Peter w. Dykema.

COAST GUARD ASKS
PLACE UNDER NAVY

The United States Coast Guard
Service wants to have the navy for
its boss and not the Treasury Depart
ment
This became apparent today with
the renewal OF efforts of Coast Guard
Service officers to have this service
switched by Congress from control
by the Treasury Department to the
Navy Department The little navy"
wants to cooperate with the big
navy" so that the two can operate
as a unit
Capt. P. H. Harrison, of the United
States Coast Guard Service, an
nounced today that he will make
strenuous efforts to have the war rec
ord of his service thoroughly aired
before any measures are introduced
at the Capitol at this session of Con-
gress to effect the change. The an
nual saving to the Government by
consolidating the coast guard with
the navy will amount to a million
dollars, according to Captain Har-
riSon.
Straw Vote Taken.
A steering committee of nine mem
bers took a vote of the officers in the
coast guard to determine how many
want the Navy Department to take
the service over instead Of having it
continued by the Treasury Depart
ment. The officers favoring ANAL
gamation with the navy numbered
339. those opposing it were A, and
those who were undecided. num-
bered Z.
The coast guard was created by
an act of 1915, combining the Revenue
Cutter Service and the Life-savnig
Service. The Revenue Cutter Service
was founded in 1890 to protect the
country against smuggling and pi-
racy. Since its founding it's original
duties have become obsolete.
Coast guard officers declare that
a military service should be under
military administration and should
not be administered by a civil de-
partment, particularly the Treasury

During the war the coast guard
operated as a part of the Navy De-

said Captain Harrison. and it needs
of that service to carry on the
enormous duties which have been
thrown on the navy by war condi-
tiOns and our closer association with
international affairs"

'PAGLIACCI' SUNG BY
COMMUNITY OPERA

ct PagliaccP' was sung by Washing
tons own opera company last evening
at the Belasco Theater before a large
and appreciative audience. The Com
munity Opera of Washington gave a
highly creditable performance in lhIs
the first of three evenings of opera
although a lack of coordination be-
tween Singers and orchestra caused
a number of lapses in the orchestral
background.
1t is against just such odds as this,
however, that a volunteer organIZa-
ton must labor until it is placed upon
a secure footing where adequate prep
aration can be commanded.

RESPECTED HOME OF MORGAN
Federals and confederates Both Re-
Trained From Damaging House
Of Revolutionary Soldier.

A subscriber who was interested In
the Companions account Of the re-
spect shown to Mount Vernon during
the Civil war has called to our atten-
ton to another historic place that re-
ceIved similar respect and protection
the home Of Gen. Daniel Morgan, OF
Revolutionary fame.
During the summer Of 1912, says
our friend. I was visiting in the Shen-
andoah valley. and In going from
Shepherdstown to Harper's Ferry
passed little village called Morgan's
Grove. My attention was attracted to
a large. two-story stone house, which
I discovered TO be the old homo Of
Gen. Daniel Morgan, the commander
of the famous Morgan Rifle Corps"
At that house Col. Morgan organized
his famous regiment Of rinemen and
marched to Boston. a distance OF six
hundred miles, to join Washlngton's
army. The men were dressed In deer
skin coats and coonskin caps and were

that they used with such telling effect
In the battles Of the Revolution. AT
the battle OF Saratoga, when Burgoyne
asked why the officers Of his army
who were killed had been shot In the
head. he was informed that II was the
Morgan rihemen who were responsi-
BILE. He remarked that Il was Of no
use to fight with such an army and
that he might as well surrender.
The old stone house at Morgans
Grove stood unmolested during the
Civil war. Both Confederate and Fed
eral soldiers held II In almost sacred
reverence. Early's men and sheri-
dams swept past Il on their raids In
the valley, yet the home Of the Nor
gans continued to stand as a noble
monument to the memory Of the great
general who helped to gain our inde-
