de@que ell Kaiser Sc encontraba en- ca

al afrmar que no tenia eonocimientc
del viaje del soberano. Al menos as
10 pretendio.
Inquieto fue el viaje del Kaiser. Sir

discretamente los rumores de de

Kaiser friamente y casi con tono lige

Ahora, en- Spa, antes de que hubie

Ell Emperador lie interrumpio llent

En- ell Gabinete de la Guerra tam

HARDING'S TIPS.

This verse of the columnist Of
the Chicago News is based on a
statement by Robert Barry that
when, for diplomatic reasons,
President Harding is not able to
give the newspaper fraternity a
story he hands them a tip, which
he tells them is a SLANT"
When that weII-kn0wn canine rubbered
Up at Mother Hubbard's cupboard.
And she found there WIS no bone for
him. b'GOsh!
The dear old dame would take him
To her garden then and break him
To a diet of her famous Hubbard
squash.
When some diplomatic reason
Makes 1t tantaInOunt to treason
To treat newshOunds to the meat for
which they pant,

Says, 81 cannot feed you straight,
But fellows. here's q stimulating

60 NFERS
At WHITE
HOUSE
Admits Waste, and May Pro-
pose Change in Veterans
Bureau System.

Col. Charles r. Forbes, return
ing to his office today from
European trip, said he is ''ready to
fight" to disprove accusations in
volving his official admins tration
of soldier relief, which led to SEN
ate action authorizing an investi-
cation of the Veterans Bureau.
Forbes asked for an appointment
with President Harding and ex-
pected to confer with him at the
White House during the day. Pend
ing the conference, Forbes deferred
issuing any formal statement deal
ing specifically with charges which
alleged extravaganza and incompe-
tency in management of the bureau.
Has Nothing to Conceal.
Forbes said he will have more
to say as soon as he has talked
with the President.
Congress has the right to inves-
tigate," Forbes said. ST have moth
ing whatever to conceal. I do not

Forbes, it was said. may make an
important recommendation to the
President that may change the
system of the Veterans Bureau.
Forbes would not discuss this or
other matters which he may have
to recommend to the President.
He is understood to oppose any
plan that would lodge control OF the
bureau in a commission.
Before going to the White House,
Forbes said he was unfamiliar with
a great many of the charges made
during his absence abroad in the
past month, and until he has
studied them he will be unprepared
to discuss them.
Forbes asserted as a result of econ
omies he has made in soldier relief
work, the Government will spend
500. 100000 less in the fiscal year
1924 than in the current fiscal year.
He said this saving is due to closing
of contract hospitals, cheaper rentals
of buildings leased, more careful sys-
tenn of purchasing, and generally
efficient service effected
through the district Veterans
Bureau agencies.
He contended this economy had
been introduced without any reduc-
ton in benefits to the ex-service
men,

. REPARE
BIGGEST
EVENT
HERE
Thousands Of Gallons OF Liquor
Pack Warehousecars Com
ing From Three States.

Washington prohibition Off
Gals are preparing for the first
big destruction Of confiscated
liquor and the first sale OF seized
rum runners automobiles, an
event of corresponding greatness,
Edgar N. Read, chief Of the local
enforcement division, announced
today.
Come From Three States.
Automobiles of all standard makes
and sizes, in addition to number
of special manufacture. are to be
sent to Washington from towns in
nearby Maryland. Virginia, and
West Virginia, within the next two
weeks, to be put up at public atic-
ton.
These cars represent seizures by
the dry agents for several months.
Mr.. Read was unable to say how
many machines would be sold, but
declared that the sale would be the
largest OF its kind ever held, in
Washington.
The liquor destruction involves
thousands Of gallons Of whiskey and
- -
which now fill to capacity the Penn
sylYania avenue storage cellar OF
the prohibition unit.
Some Cases in Court.
The liquor to be destroyed Is in
Guided in forty-three cases now be-
fore the District courts for dispo-
sition. The prohibition office has
filed with the courts requests for
destruction covering these in
stances, and early favorable action
is expected.
"I want to clean that cellar out"
said Mr.. Read today, because by
the end of this month, the boys on
my force may fill it up again. We
must have room to put the liquor
we're going to get.
Mr.. Read concurred in the state
ment today of DIR. J. NJ. Doran,
head of the dry units chemical
division. to the effect that less
than one per cent of liquor now
seized in Washington passes the
purity test.
"The expense Of analyzing this
LIQUOR" said DIR. Doran, sis too
much in proportion to the good
samples received by my office. 1t
can be almost taken for granted
that all liquor seized is to some ex.
tent impure"
Good Liquors Scarce.
Mr.. Reed said that the supply of
good liquor on the washington
bootleg market at the present time
was the lowest in prohibition his
tory.
"'Some is being peddled, believe,
on Capitol HILL" Mr.. Reed declared.
"but it is being brought in in small
quantities, and it is highly diff
cult to make an arrest at the &C
tual sale. Invariably, the boot
logger has been assured of a. def
mite purchaser. If an. arrest were
made, it would be only for trans,
portation."
Mr.. Read pointed out that his in,
tention, in connection with the
drive against Capitol bootleggers, is
to stop the supplies at their local
source, and, If possible, to effect .
definite termination Of the bootleg
business in its out-of-town head
quarters.

Old Mother Hubbard.
She looked In her cupboard,
And someone had stolen her "cOrn :"
But what did she care,
Her b0Otegger was there,
So she soon had her usual "hOrn."
Little Miss Muffet,
She sat on her tuffet,
Serving out drinks all day;
But PrOhibish Snyder.
He came up beside her,
And carrieH Miss Muffet away.
Little Jack HOrner
Stands on the street corner.
Watching the crowd go by;
just wiggle your thumb
And Jackie will come,
And sell you q bottle Of rye.
Little Bo-Peep

For now, since prOhibish law,
She's bookkeeping whisIxey
That makes the fOIks frisky,
The worst stuff that ever you saw.

WANDA LYON s
DOUBLE IS
SOUGHT
Position With President Play
ers AaWits Girl Who
Resembles Her.

How .oould yO~ like to be
Wanda Lyon?
If yoM are about her size, and
look like her, you may haze an
opportunity to play one of her
parts IN the play coming to the
President Thedter neat 1Oeek.
The following letter from
Stage Director Manners tells
h0W:
The President Players would like
to enlist your help in their efforts
to find a Washington girl who re-
sembles our leading lady, Miss
Wanda Lyon, to appear with Miss
Lyon in the performance of Dodson
Mitchell's play, "Cornered," which
we will present at the President
Theater for the week beginning Sun
day, March 4.
In this play Miss Lyon will play a
dual role-that Of two sisters in two
widely separated social circum-
stances-and the action of the play
calls for the appearance on the stage
at several times during the perform
ance of another girl player bearing
a close physical resemblance to Miss
Lyon.
Double 10 Sought.
We have been unable to find, in
the professional ranks, any avail
able player who fulfills the condi-
tons Of the part, but we believe that
there are a number of girls in Wash
ington who possess the requisite
qualifications. For that reason, we
are writing to ask If you will not
help us, through the columns Of
your paper, find the girl we need.
The part is a simple one, though
one Of great Importance. 1t is a part
that can be learned very quickly,
and we are entirely willing to make
satisfactory financial terms with the
girl selected. In view of the fact
that there are many amateur players
in the city and many who desire to
become players, we believe that The
Times will be encouraging young
talent in furthering our search for
this type.
Miss Lyon is by no means an un-
usual type. She Is about five feet
seven inches tall, weighs about 1875
pounds, has blue eyes, fair skin,
her hair is slightly reddish blonde
1t seems advisable to suggest that
the desirable age is somewhere be-
tween twenty three and twenty
eight years old.
To Meet Thursday.
In the event you find yourself
In a position to assist us in this
search for Miss Lyons double" in
Washington, l would like to add
that l will arrange to meet the
girls selected on the stage of the
President Theater on next Thurs
