VeaIs Lack of Proper Care
in Handling Stores

A test inventory Of property,
ordered by the War Department IN
each corps area with a view to dis
covering any shortcomings that
might exist, has brought to light q
number of alarming deficiencies, &C
cording to the War Department.
These deficiencies, relative to proper
warehousing, accounting. and care
of Government property. are to be
corrected at once by the War De
partment.
The test inventory revealed that
In general the same conditions pre-
vail, although not to the same de-
gree. at all stations where the in
ventories were taken. These condi-
tons. according to the adjuta AZ
general Of the army, are as follows:
Property was discover ed which
had not been taken up oil stock
record accounts. Inventory figures
did not agree in all cases with the
stock record balances and in many
cases large amounts Of averages
and shortages were revealed. Prop
'erty was found issued on memo

organizations in excess of author
lied allowances. Property in many
cases was found issued on memo
randum receipt to unauthorized
persons. Poor systems in ware
housing and in the arrangement Of
property to facilitate rapid inven-

ALEXANDER, May. 13.-Thc
chamber Of commerce here, with
membership OF over 900, plans
to take a more active part In the
movement for a more progressive
Alexandria, which. since Its inauf

been steadily gaining in momentum.
Following the extensive advertis-

organizations, under the direction
Of w. B. McGroarty, industrial ana
traffic agent of the Southern Rail-

concerns have decided to locate IN

THE chamber OF commerce has
now come forward with the propo-
sal of having special meetings Ok
the entire membership during the
latter part OF May and early june
in a further attempt to secure the
active participation Of the business

movement. Heretofore the only
meetings have been those OF the ex.

fered the indignity of being ccm-
PEELED to pay tax for such
service. He declared that before
he would pay $25 for a license he
would offer his fish for sale In
washington. He finally capitulated,
however, when it was made clear
that since he had sold no fish
last month his license would cost
him only $3.50.
Approximately 500 persons visited

When a naval officer is ordered

after, until further notice, courses
of instruction which are less than
ten months duration, will be con-

orders will be so framed that the
officer concerned will proceed to
the places designated for temporary
duty under instruction. These or
ders will not entitle them to trans

There is some discussion among
the mounted reserve officers of
Washington. about the formation
of a polo team. No doubt permits
sion could be obtained for the
officers to play at Fort Myer, and
to use the post horses also.
The proposition for a special

strength within the past few
months.
In practically every annual report
of the chief Of the air service, the
change has been recommended.
The fact that naval flying officers
were recently given new uniform,
may assist the flyers of the army.

DISASTER
Young Fireman of Norman
Lost Life Trying to Rescue
Passengers
BY International News Service.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 13.-Tlfe
body of Earl Simonson, seventeen
fireman OF the steamer Norman
sunk near Memphis Friday, was
found today near Cow Island Bend
It is believed he was drowned after
he had reached the shore safely
and turned back to rescue others
after stripping himself OF most OF
his clothing, part Of which was
found on the bank.
Somewhere between Memphis and
the. Gulf of Mexico the bodies OF
the other twenty missing pas.
sengers will probably rise to, the
surface OF the Mississippi river
today.
Though the shifting sands Of the
river bed are steadily covering the
hull of the ill-fated steamer which
has been stripped of its super
structure by the dragging back and
forth of heavy anchors by three
great cranes suspended over the
water, river men are convinced
that there are no bodies pinned in
the wreckage.
Government experts in charge OF
the investigation have organized a
systematic fleet Of small, fast
motor boats to search the banks
of the river today for bodies. These
are supplemented by dozens of vol
unteer launches and other craft
aiding in the search.
Due to the cold temperatures OF
the water, the bodies were not ex-
pected to rise until some time to.
day. The small motor boats are
penetrating the willow clumps along
the river banks and watching the
main stream Of the river for float.
ing bodies.
Late yesterday the last of the
superstructure was brought to the
surface. Work will be begun short
Iy by the Government to raise the
hull of the Norman and in the mean
time. an investigation into the cause
of the disaster will be started.

BILE and accountable officers as well
as incompetent clerical assistance
and failure to adjust stock cards
with inventories. Carelessness in
posting stock record cards and
failure TO take frequent complete
inventories to verify actual prop
erty on hand, also was found to be
responsible for the deficiencies re-
ported. Other reasons found were
lack Of trained personnel, especially
in the quartermaster corps; failure
of responsible and accountable Of
ficers to exercise proper supervision,
and lack of previous accurate in
VentOries with prompt correction Of
discrepancies.
Comma nding officers have not
shown personal interest in the sys-
tenn necessary to insure it's exact
and complete operation, according
to the report. The system used in
warehousing is considered very poor.

The college is more than sixty
years old, and is undenominational,

From Comment
By S. d. WEYER,
international News Service.

BERLIN, May ia political
paradox was presented to Ger
many today following the inaugu-
ration yesterday for former Field
Marshal Paul Won Hindenburg as
president of the German republic.
The Democratic newspapers
which had bitterly attacked Hin
denburg during the campaign,
characterized him as an ardent
republican" while in contrast, the
nationalist newspapers which sup
ported Hindenburg's candidacy
concealed their disappointment at
his inaugural speech by refrain
ing from editorial comment.
Republic" Emphasized.
The Democratic press emphasized
that Hindenburg, in his oath and
speech specifically mentioned the
republic" where. had he been
gwayed by monarchistic sentiment,
he could just as easily have said
country" or nation.
Accentuating the situation, there
floated over the presidential palace
a new republican banner of black,
red and gold, bigger and more
brilliant in its coloring than any
flown there since the revolution.
1t was pointed out by political
observers that Hindinburg's eulogy
Of the late President Ebert was a
nil Of he
denburg following who still declare
Ebert was traitor, and who be-
Heyed Hindenburg would be the
antithesis of Ebert when he became
president.
Yesterday was a day of CONSOLE
dation for the republic said the
Nossische Zeitung, one Of the lead
ing Democratic newspapers. "A
man of deep religious convictions
like Hindenburg, who expressly
calls God to witness his oath to the
republic will not break his vows.
Ebert's Foes COMPOUNDED.
The Democratic Berliner Tage-
blatt said:
"The man who was nominated
by Ebert's bitterest enemies put
aside with one gesture all Of the
heaps of dirt slung at the deceased
President. Hindenburg has en-
braced the democracy; We hope his
followers will do likewise"
Vorwaerts, official publication of
the Social Democratic party, said:
1.-THE President. who was elected
by the monarchists, spike like a
republican. The President elected
by the Nationalists, spoke like a
