WAR DECLARED
ON MOSQUITOES
BY CITY BOARD
Chamber of Commerce to
Cooperate in Campaign
Which Starts Today;
5000 Gals. Oil Secured.

War was declared on MOSQUITOES
in this vicinity last night by the
city commission which, upon the
suggestion of officials of the
chamber of commerce, appropri-
ated $3.50 for the purchase of 81
900 gallons Of crude oil which
will be put in all nearby mosquito
breeding places. The oil kills the
MOSQUITO germs.
Small quantities OF Oil nave
been used in previous years FOR
, this purpose with considerable
success but the process has never
been on large enough scale to
obtain really satisfactory results.
The chamber of commerce has
been working on the plan for
some time and located the cheap
oil which is exactly the type
needed for the anti-mosquito
breeding campaign which starts
this morning. 1t is probable that
to this oil which will be pur-
chased, will be added at least 500
gallons which will be given by 10
cal garages which accumulate
large quantities of used oil from
automobile crank cases. Inc
chamber of commerce will CO.
operate with the city authorities
in the distribution of the oil on
the water in the swamps and
other breeding places near the
city, Ways from the county Jail
may be pressed into service to
assist with the work which VIII
be completed this week.
Plumbers Protest.
A committee of local plumbers
appeared before the commission
last night asking that the new
building code, as it applies to
plumbing work, be changed back
to the old ordinance rules unless
ibetter ones can be formulated.
The committee claimed that the
new rules are not so good as the
old ones. The matter was referred
to the city attorney who will draw
up ordinances which may be
passed to supplant the new rules.
The main objection of the plumb
ers is that the rules do not pre-
scribe proper methods OF con-
struction.
Remove Poles.
r. u. Wood suggested to the
commission that steps be taken to
decrease the number of telephone,
electric light and street car poles
on east Central avenue. He stated
that each Of these companies
have separate poles and suggest
ed that but one pole be used for
each company. Representatives
of the Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph company stated
that such a consolidation would
be satisfactory with that COM
pany, although the company eX-
pected to entirely remove its poles
from this section of Central ave-
nue. within two years. The city
manager was instructed to make
a survey of the situation and TO
report at the next regular meet

KAISER'S ACTIONS IN LAST
 HOURS OF WORLD WAR TOLD
New Book Shows He Wanted to Stay With Army
 and Fight Last Battle-Was Overruled

BERLIN.-The Kaiser's own yer sion of the historic night of Novem- Der 9-10 in 1918, at German General Headquarters, at Spa, Belgium, when land is herewith presented for the first time. The version is that taken from his diary, according to General von Eisenhart-Rothe, who soon will publish book concerning the historic event. This is what the Kaiser wrote:
 Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General von Groener advised that I leave the collapsing army and go to neutral country in order to avert the most terrible civil war. I had fought a terrific inner battle since I did not wish to expose myself to a charge of cowardice, leaving that part of my army which possibly re- mained loyal to me. I rather would die fighting side by side with them. However, responsible military chiefs, even the general staff, declared the troops did not want to fight longer, nor were they physically capable of fighting either an enemy or their own countrymen. Thus, since the Imperial Chancellor, Max von Baden, in con- junction with the Social Democrats, basely betrayed men from ambush, there's nothing left for me to do but to make up my mind to depart my army-I am leaving with bleeding heart"
 So much for the Kaiser's own authen- tic testimony of the most important episode of his own life as war lord, and concerning one of the interest ing phases of the end of the world war and the beginning of the now his toric German revolution.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-04-07

entitled Prom von Hindenburg," and has a subtitle, "The Kaiser on the Ninth of November" and is said by von Eisenhart-Rothe to be based on hitherto unpublished, authentic data"
 q am going to stay here Cat Spa, Belgium, German General Headquar- ters) with my army to the very last and throw my life into the balance,' ,' the Kaiser exclaimed to General von Gontard, his adjutant general, the evening of November g, the book re- lates. But a trick was played upon the war lord by Baron von Gruenau, legation counsellor, making the Kai- ser believe his troops were multiplying and might scarry him to Berlin as a prisoner of the revolutionary govern men. Then the Kaiser capitulated.
 The book is to be issued to the public shortly. What effect the dis closures will have on German political life is a matter of speculation, but the author in a militaristic preface, gave his reasons for writing the book thus:
 "CoNsIDER IT MY DAMNED DUTY"
 q consider it my damned duty to- ward my countrymen."
 General von Eisenhart-Rothe empha- sized the volume was written without "fear or favor" and that it is based chiefly on a secret inquiry by court of honor' composed of the leading generals and statesmen participating in the events of the fateful sNovem- Der days" All statements quoted in the book are on file in the witnesses handwriting, it is stated. Part of the story is told in the kaiser's own words, and thus for the first time a record of events, corresponding in some measure to the departure of Napoleon to Elba, is given,
 On November 9, 1918, Field Marshal von Hindenburg and General v6n Groener, the successor of Field Mar shal Ludendorff, recited long reports to the Kaiser, in the presence of other distinguished officers. Won Groe- ner declared the army was no longer behind the Kaiser. The latter re- piled sharply:
 q demand this statement from you and the field marshal in black and white-but not until you have asked the chief commanders and the com manding generals"
The Cordova daily times., 1922-04-07
ADVISED KAISER TO LEAVE
 EARLY.

General yon Plessen, who hitherto had opposed the Kaiser's departure, listened to Baron ,Gruenau and think ing that the latter acted on von Hin denburgs instructions, now advised the Kaiser to leave early the next morning.
 "The Kaiser had been worn and wearied down and saw no other way out" the author states. The book shows that while von Hindenburg ad- vised the Kaiser to prepare to leave in an extreme emergency, he had nothing to do with the Kaiser's actual depart ure. This part of the volume links up with recent correspondence made pub lie between the Kaiser and Hinden- burg, written year ago.
 While the volume shows the col lapse of the army on the field of bat tie was utter and absolute, 1t re- veals that the break down on the home-front was not nearly so bad as heretofore painted.

HOLDS ALL-N|GHT AUTO .
PARKING IS UNLAWFUL
Judge Hardison's Ruling Expected
to Create Garage Demands for !:
Hundreds of Machines.

Judge Robert Hardison. in the Dis
trict of Columbia branch of Police
Court, ruled today that it is unlaw-
full for owners of automobiles. or
those having charge of automobiles,
to park them on the public streets,
using the streets all night as a ga
rage. whether the machine is parked
in front of the home of the owner or
elsewhere.
Mahon. presiding in the District of
Columbia branch of Police Court,
ruled to the contrary, pointing out
that If an undertaken or q physician,
in anticipation of a+sca1f~ fof their
professional services. had the right
the public streets. then all other
citizens were entitled to the free use
of the public streets 20 park their
cars in front of their homes or places
of business.
The ruling of Judge Hardison to-
of a case against william E. Tucker,
charged with obstructing a public
street with derelict automobile at
M and Bank streets, between 33d and
34th streets northwest. The car had
been there since January last. On
car the case was dismissed. Then 1t
was that Mr.. Tucker asked that IL he
put the car in running order and
kept a parking light. on it, could he
park the car in front of his home, as
he had no garage. To this PROPOSE
tion Judge Haridson ruled that the
public streets cannot be used for
parking automobiles all night.
The enforcement of the COURTS new
mandate is expected to, bring abont
a demand for garage space, as auto
mobile men say that hundreds of cars
are parked in the streets all night
by reason Of the inability Of: the own
ers to secure garages.

WAR RULES = RECALLED

Limiting the mails Is not without
the bounds of possibility. II the rail
strikes continue. 1T was learned from
a reliable source at the Post once
Department today. Taking 1000 mail
trains out OF service. as reported in
The Star recently. = was severe blow
to the postal establishment OF the
nation. although officials have kept
the malls moving well.
Some few trains have been placed
back into service within the past two
weeks. but the situation remains very
serious. So far, by doubling up on
shipments. the use Of motor trucks.
the mails have been kept moving in
orderly fashion. steps to limit the
mails would involve cutting off prob
ably the transportation of circulars.
catalogues. etc, and cutting down the
number of letters.
Step as Last Resort.
This latter step would be used only
as very last resort. Checking and
keeping track probably would be al
together too large an order even for
the efficient postal service.
But the government has precedent
for the first and most probable cd
of limiting the mails, in case such a
procedure should become necessary.
During the war, for a time. ban was
placed on the use of mail trains for
carrying certain articles. in order that
the tremendous number Of draft ques-
tionnaires and other government
documents might have way to all
parts Of the country.
Such limiting Of the mails. 1t is
pointed out, would tighten up the
bulk Of the mail tremendously. and
leave the mail trains still in service
free to carry only the important first-
class mail and parcel post, and the
newspapers of the country.
Postal OMcials Reticent.
Postal officials still are very reti-
cent about the effects of the strike
upop the mail service. but admit that
the Service has been slowed up con-
siderably. Heroic efforts are being
made to keep the mails moving.
1t may take letters and parcels
longer to cover the ground than 1t
used to. but they get through. What

FREE CLINIC TO AID
POSTAL EMPLOYEES
Public. Health Service Will
Make Tests at Option
of Workers.

Free medical examinations for all
postal employees in the National Cap
ital will be provided shortly, when
the clinic of the public health service
is completely transferred to the new
quarters being equipped for it on the
ground floor of the Post Office De-
Pennsylvania avenue.
This is the first step in a movement
announced today, to provide such ex-
aminations for postal employees all
over the United States and posses
sions. The exams are to be free
and at the option of the employees.
The service is not compulsory.
Perhaps the largest single room In
the Post Office Department building
is being newly fitted for the public
health clinic. which is transferred
from the northeast section of, the
all who call, and in addition will. take
care of the medical examinations of
the postal employees. ,
Carriers of the Washington city
post Office are expected to be the first
to take advantage of the opportunity,
as some Of these men probably will
have trouble with their feet or ex-
perience fatigue. A thorough exami-
nation of every part of the body. and
its organs will reveal II the difficulty
comes from poor shoes or poor teeth,
from too low or high heels on shoes,
or from faulty digestion.
Under today's order employees Of the
postal service in f1fty-seven cities, In
GLIDING the District. and in towns and
villages in the vicinity of the. cities
are offered the opportunity of free
medical examinations. The examIna-
tions are authorized through the
Treasury Department and win be
made on the request Of postal en-
ployes by the United States public
health seEyice at the stations in the
various Cities
The announcement today marks the
beginning OF a movement to extend
the examinations to the whole personnel
Of the postal service, numbering more
than 100000 men and women. Prelfm-
mary experiments In New York and
Chicago where 9s5 employees requested
and received the examinations. were

Impressed with the necessity et
maintaining an adequate National
Guard organization as an adjunct of

tense, Secretary Weeks has issued q
call for a special committee, a ma
iority of whose members would be
National Guard officials, to make a
commemorative study of National
Guard problems in conjunction with
the militia bureau of the War Depart
ment.
"As a result of this study" he added.

gress ana say definitely and correctly.

Of those allotted to states OF greater

Regarding the composition of the
National Guard by tactical organiza-

that the basis should be eighteen In

il a suggestion contained in the an
nual report OF Warren b. HadieF'
electrical engineer of the District. IS
carried out.
THE value of radio communication
for municipal functionsis being m
uuiyed into" Mr. Hadley told the Com
nissioners. Contact with outlying
offices. with the fire boat and with 'he
police boat, recovery of stolen prop
erty and the apprehension or crln'i-
nails are already evident points OF pos
sible advantage. but no Recommended
tion is submitted at present.
The electrical engineer again tells
the city neads that the grade of street
lighting and the expenditure for
street lighting in Washington are be-
low the average of cities comparable
in population and street mileage.
More Lights Needed.
He says, in part:
THE distribution of street lighting
throughout the area and the logical
relation of parts is believed to be
better than in most cities, but the
need of a higher degree Of illumina-
tion and of visibility practically
throughout is again cited with an
increase of emphasis. Reference is
made to report of the electrical en-
gineer for the fiscal year ended June
80. 1920 Instead Of being somewhat
favored. as might seem to be justified
by the character and peculiarltieS OF
the city, the grade of street lighting
and the expenditure. for lighting IN
Washington are very far below the
best and much below an average OF
cities comparable in population and
mileage of streets. Plans and studies
are being made of methods of greatly
improving the degree, the effective
ness and the efficiency of lighting. at
less increment of cost. This In
wolves both selection and design OF
some different equipment to sup
scrapping the existing. Changes need
ed, but which would probably have
confiicted with the contemplated
scheme, were deferred.
THE net increase In number of
lamps OF all kinds is 366. compared
with 342 in 1921. OF the 603 lamps
newly connected (gross), 337, or
about 56 per cent, were either "des-

crease in aggregate candlepower OF
the street lighting system is from
approximately 1,707,200 to approxi-
mately 1,152.l00, about 2.6 per cent"
Mr.. Hadleys report shows net
increase of 200 incandescent electric
lights and a net increase OF 153 man.
tie gas lamps.
New Poles Placed.
The public utilities companies
placed 912 new poles in the District
last year to carry their service wires,
as compared with only 34S the pre-
ceding year. This heavy increase,
Mr.. Hadley attributes to the rapid
development of the suburbs, result
Ing in a demand for telephone and
electric light service. The total
number of poles in the city on June
80 last was 20.914.
Fees for electrical permits last
year aggregated $13.s61. Mr.. Had
ley renews his request for a larger
personnel to keep pace with the
demand for electric inspection work.
