were reported although real bullets
were used by the machine gunners in

Georgetown University found .he
training course a success from the
start Many students are former

showing perhaps more interest in
military tactics than in general ath-
letics.
The stunts were pulled OF yest-r-
day with the assistance of a tank

tional organization at the hearing and
number of discharged employees OF
the road viii testify.
A certified copy of the decision OF
Justice Siddons, of the District Court
has been transmitted to the Labor
Board. The local court held that the
railroad had a right to discharge tho
men for afhliation with a labor union
and further held that Great Falls and
BIuemont are not suburbs of wash
ington. thereby removing the case
from the Jurisdiction of the District
courts and placing II under the trans
portation act. Were the towns In
question suburbs the case would not
be considered by the Labor Board, but
would be purely a local matter.
An interesting point to be de-
termined by the Labor Board Is
whether the Washington and Old
Dominion management has right TO
collect q fne from It's employees for
joining a labor union.
II was brought out in hearings here
that each employe OF the road was re-
quired to sign a contract in which
he agreed TO pay the management OF
the road $50 should he become a
member of a union.
In several cases where the con-
tract was violated. the management
Of the road held up wages Several
discharged employees have sought to
recover on the ground that the road
had no right to collect the hne. This
matter will be threshed out before
the Labor Board and it's decision is
expected to prove Of wide interest
to railroad men throughout the
country.

Which Have Passed.
SLOWLY RECOVERING

Just. one year ago yesterday Presi-
dent Wilson made his last public
speech in behalf of the League of
Nations covenant.
The speech was made in Pueblo
on the homeward journey of tour
which had taken the President to
the Pacific coast.
During the Pueblo speech, the
President gave unmistakable evl-
dences to his physician, Rear Ad-
miral Cary Grayson, of the com
ing break down and the latter. after
consultation with Mrs. Wilson and
Secretary Tumulty, decided that the
remaining speaking engagements
be. Cancelled and the President re-
turn to Washington at opce.
The Presidents consent to the
cancellation OF the tour was OBJ
tanned with difficulty, and IL was
4 o'clock the following morning be-
fore the decision was announced to
the newspaper men accompanies
the Pres Mental party on the spe-
cial train
The President arrived in Wash
ington the. following Sunday. Sep
.tember IS. and for several days was
able to take>automobile rides about
the city.
The climaxI of the strain under
which he had lsbored came on
Wednesday. October. !. when DIR.
Grayson ordered the President to
bed and announced that he was "a
very sick man.
Today, twelve months later, Mr..
Wilson is slowly but surely recov-
ering from the breakdown which
has always been \ officially dag
nosed as "nerNous NeX haustion."

Samuel J. Steinberger, manager Of
the Arlington Hotel. who has enter
tained inaugural visitors in Washing
ton for the last thirty-two years, pre-
diets that the largest crowds that
have ever visited Washington for the
March 4 ceremonies will be here for
the Inauguration.
Although 1t Is not yet known who
Is going to be elected President" said
Mr.. Steinberger. ''the Arlington Hotel
already is receiving applications for
reservations for the inaugural period
from delegations In a number OF the
ing received daily as to accommoda-
tions from nearly all of the Southern
States.
MANY DELEGATIONS APPLY.
Large delegations from New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago, and other large
cities are beginning to make reserva-
tions. in order to be sure of having
good hotel accommodations"
Mr.. Steinberger, who is considered
one of the leading hotel men in the
country, declared that the large
amount Of money circulated in the
United States during the war un-
doubtedly will bring the largest in
augural crowd to the city that his
ever visited Washington.
81 have just returned from a trip to
New York and other cities, and have
been besieged on every hand by or
ganizations and individuals to make
reservations for peace for the inau-
gural period" said Mr.. Steinberger.
"In face we began receiving appli-
cations for reservations last May"
1t is generally believed in Wash
ington. not only by the hotel men. but
by merchants and others. that no mat
ter who is elected. the crowds this
year will be larger than ever. How
ever, the opinion Is freely expressed
that If Harding is elected 1t will re-
suit in a much larger crowd and a
general reunion of Republicans from
all over the country. who will flock
here to see the head of their ticket
inaugurated.
PREPARE EXPENSE FIGURES.
In anticipation of the inaugural
vrowds, officials of the police de-
partment soon will begin to prepare
estimates of expenses for the pro-
lection of Washington during the
ceremonies of March 4. Like Mr..
Steinberger and others, Major Harry
Gessford believes that there will be
an unusually large crowd here.
Although only $4,000 was allowed
by Congress at the last inaugural
ceremonies for the protection Of
Washington residents and visitors, ap
proximately SAT, 900 will be asked for
this purpose at the coming inaugural.
One question which police officials
here are studying with particular at.
tention Is that relating to the han
ding of automobiles. 1t Is also
feared that the District will expert
ence difficulty in getting special po-
licemen for less than IS a day, al

Just then dinner or supper, whichever they
called it, was ready and we were all asked to
take our seats on the grass, around half
dozen Spits stuck in the ground on which the
choice pieces of the buffalo had been roasted,
and large camp kettle, filled with "succotash"
Ga medley of stewed meat, beans, hominy and
peppers). The dinner was cooked in very
primitive style but is was really excellent and
we gave no offence to our entertainers by de-
clinng to accept the choice bits that were press
ed upon us, for according to Indian etiquette,
it is considered the height of bad manners to
refuse to eat AS long as your host sees proper
to force his good cheer upon you.
Guido, our negro cook, it seemed had wormed
himself somehow astonishngly into the good
ular attentive to him. The consequence was
that great many tid-bits were pressed upon
him during the repast. He tackled them man.
fully and worried them down, one after another,
until there was no room for anything else.
Mass jack said he to me in whisper, as
he ruefully eyed about a pound of greasy hump,
which one of the Choctaws had just then hand
ed him on the point of his butcher knife, Mass
Jack, what gwying to do wild all dis bufferlo

leave piece of it, as big as your thumb nail
he'll be as mad as a hornet, and there's no tell
ing what he may do; these Indians are mighty
uncertain
81 know dey is, said Guido, "but don't see
any sense in dere gettin mad Just becase fell
Ter can't eat as much as a elephant"
Just then, however, the Choctaw, who had
given Guido the piece of hump accidentally
looked towards him. and he hastily began to
worry it down. though evidently sorely against

his inclination. At length, with great diff
Guilty he succeeded in disposng of the last
morSe, but scarcely had he done so, when an
other grim warrior handed him a roast rib
about three feet long.
"Oh de Lord OBJ mercy Mass Jack" said he,
what | gwyng to do wild all dis rib? can't
eat it, ef | hab to die de mex mint fur it,
But you must" said l, in whisper, you
might have got off alive if you hadn't eat the
hump, but to refuse to eat fat buffalo RIB
when Choctaw presents 1t to you, is the worst
insult you could offer him, and your scalp
would be gone before you could say Jack Rob
inson. You must eat it, if it kills you, for 1t
is better to die eating buffalo rib than to have
your throat cut with the butcher knife that fell
lows got in his hand" Thus urged, Cudjo
made faint effort at tackling the rib, but 1T
was no use, nature could endure no more. He
gazed with an expression of mingled safety
and disgust, first, at the rib and then at the
grim warrior who had given it to him, as If
debating in his mind which of the two evils
to choose. He evidently thought the situation
was desperate one, but his inventive genius
was equal to the emergency. Jumping zap sud
denly, he exclaimed
Fore gracious, ! believe de fire done cotch

and saying this he went off at the top of his
speed for camp. We Sprang to our feet at once,
thinking our tent had really caught on fire,

babe adieu to our Choctaw friends and returned

up" in his blanket at the foot of the live oak
under which we had stretched our tent
why Cudjo" said Willie, what in the world
could have put into your woody head that
our tent was on fire? we didn't see any smoke
nor any other sign of fire over this way"
"Nur me nuther," said Guido, "but de fac is,
Mass Willie, was bliged to get out'n dat
