MARINES ARE. PRAISED
FOR SERVICES IN WAR
Gen. Richards Tells How the Devil
Dogs" Proved Superior to the
Prussian Soldiers.

Interesting "reminiscences of his
long service in the Marine Corps were
related by Brig. Gen. George Richards,
head of the pay division of the ma
rines, in an address at the weekly
luncheon of the City Club yesterday
afternoon at the clubhouse.
Tell it to the marines" the taunt
usually flung when an 1ncredlple
story is told, originally was intended
as a distinct compliment to the ma
rines. who were supposed to be SO
well informed regarding unusual facts
as to be particularly fitted to pass
upon their credibility, Gen. Richards
| explained.
visitor once told Charles I of England
of wonderful flying fishes that he had
SEEN Charles doubted the story and
called in a marine officer who had
Travelled extensively. The king
thought the officer would brand the
tale as absurd, but instead the marine
replied that he had seen more flying
fishes in the West Indies than the
king had hairs on his head. well,
replied the king. laughing. the next
time hear an incredible story shall
tell it to the marines"
About $4,000 Devil Dogs" and 1000
| marine officers took part in the world
war. Gen. Richards said. He declared
| that the distinctive service rendered
| by the marines in the war was prov

| that the PrusSiah soldier was without

when the United States entered

post of honor in the defense of Paris

Merger as Desirable.

Ninety-one new members were ad-
mitted last night at a meeting of the
Rhode Island Avenue Suburban Clti-

Presbyterian Church, ed street and
Rhode Island avenue northeast. The
names of the ninety-one applicants

chairman of the drive committee. and
Immediately were acted upon by the
association.
With the drive, which is under the
auspices of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, only a little more
than half over, it is expected that at
least 200 more new members will be
added to the lists.
Asks Even Greater Effort.
William S. Torbett, president of the

increased activity despite it's favor

DR.. Charles w. Cuthbertson. vice
president of the Northeast Suburban
Citizens Association. addressed the
meeting, presenting his application
for membership in the Rhode Island

DR.. Cuth5ertson said that in apply

his individual ideas but the wishes of
many of the members of his own asso-
citation, and hoped that in the near
future a merger of the two organiza-
tons might take place. 1t is under
stood that if such a merger is brought
about the members of the north->.,j
will join the Rhode Island Associa-

Cuthbertson, would be in keeping
with the present aims and ideals of a
unitication of forces and its benefits
would soon be felt in the community.

REORGANIZATION FOR NEGRO
Prof. Thomas Advocates Share in
CIVIC Activities.

That plans to Americanize foreign
ers must include colored men and
women was the declaration of Poi
Charles NJ. Thomas, teacher of civics
and economics at Dunbar High school
Society. airy
He expressed his firm advocacy of
me participation Of colored people in
the higher forms of civic leadersbin
as regards all affairs which affect the
lfe OF his own race as citizens and
OF the persistent demand for the full
civil equality of all Americans.
Among the interesting points
touched on by Prof. Thomas was the
increasing and successful participa-
ton of colored women in industry.
He cited as an example a new over
all factory in Arkansas. capitalized
at 100000 entirely by negroes. This
new manufacturing plant. he prophe-
sled, is likely materially to change
the statistics for white and colored
women employed in such plants.
Prof. Thomas will continue his
Americanization discussion next Tues
day evening.

A Dangerous Car Stop.
70 the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star.
Your editorial on "a Car Stop Trag
edy" calls attention anew to one OF
the most dangerous practices to which
pedestrians are exposed in this wan
ton disregard of municipal traffic
laws. In this connection 1 desire to
state that a particularly dangerous
point for such accidents Off accidents
they can be called) is the car stop at
22d street northwest, on the Capital
Traction Company's line. The con-
slant sweep of automobiles and mo-
tor cycles around Washington circle,
the difficulty of seeing the cars COM
ing from Georgetown because of the
curve and the rush OF people to get
to the cars from the sidewalk and the
speed at which the motor cars and
cycles swing around the circle there
in these busy morning hours have Gre
ated conditions from which dangerous
escapes are almost daily miracles.
Unless a waiting platform is placed
at that point or a Waterman stationed
there by municipal or company au-
thority, at least during the rush hours
of the morning, some precious life
will pay the penalty of uncontrolled
speed and disregard of the 15-foot
stop behind the platform of a stand
ing street car. The danger there Is
so constant and the need of proper
protection so great that no time
should be lost in providing a remedy.

FINDS GERMANS SEEKING
WORLD DYE TRADE AGAIN
Dr.. Herty Reports to Chemical So
t ciety of Investigations Made
in Europe.

The German dye manufacturers are
ready to stifle American competition
and to seize the dye trade of the
world again, DIR. Charles H. Herty,
who has recently returned from Eu-
eminent to study the dye situation.
told the Washington Section of the
American Chemical Society in an adj
dress Tuesday night. Legislation to pro-
tect the American dye industry and
the American consumers of dyestuffs
is vitality necessary. he said.
Dr. Herty was sent abroad to ascer-
tain what could be done to make
enough vat dyes available to meet the
needs OF American consumers, and he
also acted as a technical adviser for
the reparation commission in Paris.
10000 Tons Impounded.
He said that. in accordance with the
arrangements which had been made
by the allies under the terms of the
peace treaty. 10000 tons of German
az dyes, valued at approximately $780,
5000, had been impounded. In adj
dition to this about $500 tons had
been produced from the daily output
which the Germans had for free sale
under license from the Rhineland COM
mission. Under a ruling of the War
ooC IN CllS COup-
try are permitted to import a portion
of these dyes
The threat to the American dye in
terests." said DIR. Herty, that is to
ooth the dye consumers and the dye
producers, lies in the fact that until
of all the American needs. Germany can
charge extortionate prices for those dives
which we do not manufacture She is
manufacturing dyes on a large scale
and because of the present low valuation
OF the mark she will be able to underbid
the American dye producer in an omen
competitive market. The only solution
OF this problem is legislation bv Con-
gress and the introduction of a license
system until the American manufac
turers are able to supply all our needs
and to meet the competition of Ger
many. Congress before it adjourned
adopted resolution extending SO far as
dyes are concerned the license control Of
the War Trade Board until January *
This act would lapse with the announce

Wlthout passing the Longworth bill the
american dye industry would be at the
