TO TAKE UP SIMS CHARGE
Daniels to be Asked to Report on Con
ditions at Outbreak of War

Washington, Jan. 80. = Charges
made yesterday by Rear Admira:
William S. Sims that the navy was
lot prepared to enter the war in 1917
are ito be investigated by the serate
subcommittee already entrusted with
inquiry into the navy's conduct of the
var, which has been criticised by tbs
same officer.
Acting on written suggestion
from Admiral Sims, Chairman Page
81 the Naval Committee, asked Sec
retary Daniels to submit full infor-
alton as to the condition of the navy
Just preceding the entrance of the
United States into the World War.
After comforting with Senator Hale
chairman of the subcommittee, Sen
ator Page wrote Mr. Daniels asking
that he transmit a detailed state
ment showing the location of Amerl-
can warships two months and onf
month prior to the declaration of war
and their location upon the actual day
:his country entered the war. In ad-
i!tion, Senator Fage asked for the
names Of the ships ready for distant
service when war was declared and
me names of those not ready, and the
reason for their unpreparedness.
Investigation into the naval awards
controversy was to have been resumed
yesterday with Secretary Daniels
testifying before the subcommittee
but owing to the illness of Senator
Trammell, Democrat, of Florida, .
subcommittee member, the hearing
was postponed until Tuesday, at which

Venerable Members of ''Mys-
tic Tie" Gather Last
Night
ENJOYABLE EVENING
Large Attendance at Called Meeting
of Andrew Jackson Lodge, No. 100
4. F. and A. NJ.

One of the most interesting ant
ENJOYABLE features in the history OF
Masonry in Alexandria was that OF
last night when 50 or more of the
older members of Andrew Jackson
Lodge gathered in the Masonic
Temple upon the invitation of the
officers. They were heartily vel
coined by Worshipful Master Hoff-
mar. and he with the other officers
left nothing undone to make what
was called veterans Night" a
great success. While everything in
connection with the reception was
impromptu, thers was no hitch IT.
anything, ard the guests and their
hosts spent two hours or more in the
most pleasant manner.
1t had been determined to require
4 speech from every one present
who has been member Of the lodge
during the past quarter Of century
or more. The speeches, however,
were limited TO five minutes each.
4 few Only exceeded their allotted
time, but the greater number ut
tered about all they had to say in a
minute or two; hence the average
was about five minutes.
There was large turnout of the
Junior members of the organization,
and with the veterans an asscmolage
was formed which virtually utilized
the seating capacity of the lodge.
During the evening it was sug-
rested that veteran Masonic As
scciatiion might be the outcome Of
"Vctcrans' Night" /"
At the close of the lodge buffet
luncheon was served.
MANY of the older members of
Andrew Jackson Lodge, fer sundry
reasons. seldom attend the stated
communications. Hence large
percentage of the younger members
cf the craft met Alexandrians last
night they did not know were
brother Masons.
The plan to have "Feterans
Night" was a happy conception, and
It proved success beyond the an
ticipations Of all interested.

FINANCIAL CHAOS
Efforts to, Lead Wcrld Out of Condll-
ticns Following War

The United States Treasury does
not look with favor upon certain
features of the proposed internal
tional conference recently called by
a coteric of nationally known finan
ciers and commercial leaders in an
effort to lead the world out of the
financial and commercial chaos into
which It was dragged by the war,
Secretary Glass declared last
might in a letter to a committee OF
the Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States, which has sought a
government expression on the meet
ing, that such a conference would
serve "to cause confusion and revive
hopes, doomed to disappointment,
of further government loans.
With a ncte of finality, Mr.. Glass
set forth the governments policy
with respect to furnishing credits
stating that the Treasury "is op-
posed to government control over
foreign trade and finance and even
mere opposed to private control. It
is convinced that the credits re-
ouired for the economic, restoration
must come through private chan
nels." In this respect, this govern
ment fears the proposed conference
would mean many Europeans would
assume that the United States was
about to shoulder more CT their bur-
dens, MIR. Glass explained.

'sse1oOU.n PRECAUTIONS
Health Officer ;Foulks Gives Timely
Advice on Preventing Disease

J Health Officer FoulkS Gives 1lmely
/ Advice on Preventing Disease
! On account of the general preval
i lcnce of sickness variously diagnosed
rs heavy colds grippe or influenza,
I again strongly urge our citizens
TO tale all due precautions against
infection.
Mos; people have a wrong idea
about preventive measures. They
seem to think if they do the plainly
obvious things, nothing more is
necessary. They forget that as q
ruic is not the big things that count
in any problem. The failure to
tighten a loose, screw, could quickly
put 4 thousand horse power engine
out of business 1t is only too often
tnc fact that failure to look after the
so-called little things, brings CT
disaster.
There is no royal road in disease
prevention. 1t is the little things
you should or should not do that are
of The highest Importance!
In the various forms of sore
throat. colds and grippe or. influenza
he infection is caused by too close
contact with some other person WHO
has the disease. If a person who is
suffering with "cold" wants to talk
to you, don't stand too close. Re-.
member that is talking, coughing OF
srccz;ng, little droplets, in the form
cf fine spray, are elected from the
;ncutE or nose. Don't stand within
three feet CT such a person or yo".
may easily become infected. Or !
sick member in family can infec' !.
all the others if great care is not /.
taken. If you handle any article
the sick rerson has used, wash your
hands Immediately after. Every
Knife. fork, spoon, glass or ether
callnP utensil used by the patient
should be washed in boiling water.
Ordinary washing will rot destroy
the germs on these infected articles
Every handkerchief, towel or SINH.
lar article used by the sick ore
should be at once placed in boiling
water.
Keep in mind that every psrson
with common ccld," sore throat |
grippe or influenza is just as infec- |
tious as if he or she had diptheria
scarlet fever or smallpox. 1t is the
general failure to Recognize tbs
simple fact that causes such dis |
eases to spread so quickly from on
% another. There is nothing mys.
terious about the cause or how sue
diseases are spread. Protect you
7elf by the simple exercise of COM
mon sense Keep your finger
away from your mouth. Wasl
hands frequently. as they bccon'
contaminated with almost every
thing you touch Keep your fee
dry and your body warmly clothed
Don't sit or stand in draft.
Remember eternal vigilance Is IT,
