SALVATION ARMY HERE
To ESTABLISH HUTS

Establishment OF places Of recrea-
tlon for men in America known an
'huts" and similar to those operated
so successfully overseas during the
war, is planned by the Salvation Army
As part of It's more extended home
service work, according TO an an
nonncement made today by Colonel
Richard Holz, OF Philadelphia, COM
nander of the Atlantic coast province.
This idea. the purpose of which In to
provide substitution OF the old saloon
as meeting place. is being work ed
out under the direction OF Miss Evan
seline Booth, commander OF the Sal
Fation Army in America
Inasrnuch as the innovation win be
replica of the overseas hut conduct
ed by the Salvation Army, the workers
will serve coffee, the world fam GUS
dourhnut. pies and soft drinks, while
the interior Of the tavern will be At
ted up with recreation features for
men
Every hut or tavern will have a
player piano or phoncyraph. and the
Idea is TO give the returned soldiers
some and pleasant rendezvous. that
they may swap yarns and rub elbows
with their friends
The plan has the approval OF many
OF the country's most influential men
aud. women, and will materilalye
through the Salvation Army home
service cam paign for $4,000. 900
which will be conducted in the United
States May 10 to IS. This campaign
is promoted by friends OF the Salvation
Army, and has It's national chairman
former Governor Whitman OF New
York, known for years as an arden,
n hA ri s{rr
Several Of these huts will be estah-
Hshed in Virginia, according 10 pres
ent plans. while others will be situated
~ the larger cities Virginia is al
ready working on its plans for the
coming campaign, and the state chair
man. with his executive committee,
will be announced shortly. Among
the national leaders in the campaign
are Myron II. Herrick, OF Ohio: Sena-
tor Warren G. Harding. OF Ohio. Gen
eral Cornelius Vanderbilt. OF New
York, John wanamaker of Philadel~
phia, and others of similar standing,
War department officials, religious.
social and civic workers are banding
together In an effort 10 show the
gratitude of the American people for
the unusual service rendered the
| Am erican soldiers and sailors durfn x
the war. Through the funds raised
the Salvation Army will extend It's
werk in the cities and hamiets, car
rying the gospel and cheer OF a rrac-
teal nature to unfortunates.
Commander Booth is expected 10
| visit Virginia during the campaign
! 10 deliver one or more addresses. She
/ Is noted as a brilliant orator, while her
! work has built for her a reputation
/ rarely obtainable. The slogan OF the
Salvation Army. as expressed by Miss
! Booth, is: "A man may he down but
! never out" In the conduct of the
! Virginia campaign the leaders will use
an additional slogan; Ask the soldier
/ or sailor
! Practically every cent OF the money

which was made public by the treas

ITO the American people:
I'VE have had the opportunity here
in France 10 see and realize the mag
n1tude of the accomplishment OF our
country in this war and the magnih-
cent spirit with which this great task
has been carried through to trium-
phant issue.
What has been done and what re-
mains to be done before normal con-
ditions are restored demand your con-
tinued and united support with the
same spirit of self sacrifice and of
determination as that which was
manifested by the nation while The
German armies faced our men at ne
Marine and in the Champagne. at ST.
Mihiel and in the Argonne. We must
OF relax our efforts until every soldier
Of the republic Is landed on tho soil
of America.
ITO finish this mighty task i'm
poses upon the government OF the
United States great financial burden
The Victory liberty loan must thrive
II Ii should fail IL would indicate tina.
the nation Is willing to leave its task
uncompleted.
TO secure the ideals for which
Americans fought and died. this Erea,
demand on national patriotism and
united effort should meet = generous
and universal response. LSet US al

The most conspicuous feature OF the

able trouble was the occupation OF the
Place do la Concorde by cavalry.
Not q wheel was turning on any Of

Theaters. music halls and other re-
sorts did not open. No newspapers

stretched between the Madeleine and
the Place dc la Concorde and swept
down the Rue Royale. Cavalry hur-
risd them backward into the side
streets, but several thousand reached
the Place de Ia Concorde.
j. This crowd was augmented by lesser
groups that had formed a mass in ths
Place de la Concorde, through which
the cavalry made one ineffective
charge and then withdrew. The er-
forts Of the police were equally fruit
less, and the cheering and singing
crowds swept past the Hotel de Grill
Ton, headquarters of the American
peace delegation. with shouts of ''vive
le wilson," and ''Vive rAmeriQue"
-. The cavalry and the police reform
ed their lines and gradually herded
the crowds into the side streets. SO
that within half an hour the entire
Place de la Concorde had been
cleared.
A persistent rain throughout the
forenoon gave the city a dismal and
gloomy appearance.

CAR AND AUTO CRASH
HALTS AVENUE TRAFFIC

An unusual accident in which a Cap
ital Traction Company car and two
high-powered automobiles figured at
noon today. held up east-bou2d traf-
fic on Pennsylvania avenue at 11th
street for about fifteen minutes.
Francis F. Durand. driver Of an auto
owned by Lawrence Anderson. was
going from the south to the north
side OF the Avenue through the park
ing zone at 11th street, when the
street car, of which P. J. Coste was
motorman. struck it. The rear end of
the automobile was swung around by
the impact against an auto owned by
w. D. Taylor and which was parked
on the south side in the parking zone.
No one was injured. though both cars
were damaged. The Anderson auto
mobile was wedged between the street
car. the traction platform and the
Taylor automobile.
The car crew and automobile drivers
were ordered to appear before As
