"Then it was that she spoke most
wildly Of the life she had left behind
her. Little more than year before
she had gone by herself apart to live
in mountain cottage in the South of
Russia. A very old peasant and his
wife had looked after/her, setting ont
for her each morning baskets of fruit
for her daily bread and she had given
herself up to wandering in the noun

previously declared. The prevailing
view in China, however, is that if
tlume offered a case for a firm stand,
so much the more does Shantung,
whose fate affects population a thou
sand times as great and whose disposi-
ton presents no problem of nation

been purely Chinese, and the only
Japanese claim is that of conquest. I

WOULD BROADEN POWER|
OF MUNICIPAL COURT

The board of directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce. at a meeting at GIL
18th street last night, advocated
broadening the powers of the Munich
pal Court as q means of relieving
congestion in the District Supreme
Court.
A resolution adopted by the direct
ors urges an amendment to the Dis
trict code giving the Municipal Court
jurisdiction over suits involving
amounts up to $4,000, instead of the
present limit of $500. The amend
ment would make the jurisdiction of
the lower tribunal exclusive in cases
of less thar $500 and concurrent with
the powers of the upper court in all
|litigations from $500 to $4,000.
The directors again advocated the
appointment of two more judges to
the bench of the District Supreme
Court.
A committee of twenty-five was ap-
pointed to bring conventions to Wash
ington. 1t was announced that the
hotels of the city are ready to assist
the chamber in this endeavor.
The directors appropriated 500 for
the Fourth of July celebration. The
Boy Scouts were given $50. Fourteen
new members were admitted to the
chamber yesterday. They We're:

Opportunity for Recruits to Learn
Aviation and Mechanics.

Unusual opportunity for education
and experience in aviation, mechanics
and electrical work is offered by the
Marine Corps, which is now making a
special drive for intelligent recruits for
such service.
Mechanics who entered the marine
aviation service at the beginning of the
war il is pointed out, in many instances
are earning $40 to $12 a day since their
discharge. Proper care is being taken
to see that men enlisted for this work
are not diverted to other branches.
1.-The aviation section of the Marine
Corps is urgently in need Of four-year
enlisted men for gas engine mechanics
machine shop mechanics. electricians
Wireworkers. woodworkers. welders
blacksmiths, etc. Men of good character
and mechanically inclined are satistac-
tory. These men will be sent through
the regular Navy mechanics school at
Great Lakes. H.. and receive a thorough
education in all or part of the above
trades. They will then be sent to the
flying stations and receive a thorough
practical training in mechanical work.
This is a wonderful opportunity for
young men to learn a profitable trade

the old men are defended against dis
