PLAN DOLLAR Day
TO AID MEMORIAL
Wednesday Will Be Set Aside
for Non-Contributors to
Join Tribute.
An intensive effort to wipe out the

An intensive effort to wipe out the
deficit of $12,63763 between the
amount in hand and the fund sought
to build the District War Memorial
will be made this week, it was an
nounced by Newbold Noyes, chairman
of the campaign, today. This effort
will center in an appeal on Wednes-
day, it was stated, for every Wash
ingtonian who has so far failed to con-
tribute to the memorial to do so now
by sending in 81.
On Wednesday coupons viii be
printed in newspapers and the event
advertised in a way that Will bring
home to Washington the significance
of this appeal, it was stated, in the
hope that a sufficient number among
the thousands of Washingtonians
who have not contributed will send in
a dollar each. In this way it is hoped
to obtain funds that will allow pre-
liminary work on the memorial to
begin at once.
Washington's contribution to the
memorial now exceeds S142, 900, 1t
was stated, this amount representing
the results of the campaign last year,
which netted 100000, and of the cam
paign which closed formally a week
date SS2,36237. This fund represents
small per capita contribution from
the people of Washington, however,
it was stated--the per capita contri-
button slightly exceeding % cents.
Records at headquarters, in addition,
show that comparatively few Wash
ingtonians have borne the burden OF
the fund so far raised, and this takes
into consideration the thousands who
have contributed 81 or less. When
the school children were asked for a
contribution of cents each their re-
sponse exceeded this quota, and those
in charge of the present campaign
believe that the appeal on Wednes-
day, Dollar day." will be met in
way that will go far toward meeting
the deficit.
The contributions, totaling SILL
227.42, received during the last week
and following the close of the cam
paign, indicated, it was stated today,
that many Washingtonians still in
tend to contribute to the memorial.
The skeleton organization at cam
paign headquarters in The Star Build
ing will be kept open, it is stated, as
long as the contributions justify,
which probably will be for the re-
mainder of this week and possibly
longer.
Although the campaign workers
are centering their hopes on Wednes-
day-Dollar day-many of the men
and women who have worked as team
members or team captains have con-
tinued their efforts, number of
them reporting almost daily at head
quarters with additional contributions.
They will continue their efforts this
week, endeavoring personally to see
as many Washingtonians who have
not contributed as possible.

NEW YORK, May 16.-SomeWhere
off the New England coast there
gathered today a powerful enemy
fleet, theoretically guarding a huge
convoy of troop-laden transports, in
tent upon landing and capturing
New York City and the rich industrial
area OF New England.
Also off the coast a defending fleet
was preparing to repel the invaders
while on the shore. with a they
shall not land determination, was
concentrated a depleted" Army. -
Such is the theoretical situation
which for the next several days Will
occupy the attention of the United
States fleet and the Regular Army
troops stationed in New England as
they engage in a war game on as
gigantic scale as has been under
taken since the World War.
More than 100 vessels of the Navy
were headed for the ocean today,
where they will be divided, one Sec

Problem for "BIue" Forces.
Once the maneuvers have started.
the problem for the Blue forces will
be to "spot" the enemy fleet. Air
planes and radio will be brought into
play, while back at Blue headquarters
intelligence officers will be busy de-
coding messages from their scouts
and endeavoring to decipher the inter
cepted coded messages of the invaders.
When the Black fleet has been
sighted and word received at Blue
headquarters, the Blue navy will
swing into action. The Army in the
meantime, must be prepared to move
at moments notice, but must not
be drawn out of position by false
moves by the Black forces.

MEXICO CITY, May 16.-What may
we'll prove to be one of the most i'm.
portant steps toward solving the Mex
ican-United States deadlock over the
petroleum law is just being taken by
the Mexican attorney general. He is
sending instructions to all agents or
the public ministry TO hasten action
on applications for injunctions, which
have been filed in large numbers by
foreign petroleum companies.
The effect CT this action will be 10
remove the cases without further ur-
necessary loss cf time to the Mexican
supreme tribunal The instructions
are that the cases are to be dealt with
according to the stricter letter of the
law. thus preventing minor otficiais
from repeating certain decisions taken
in the lower courts on account or the
economic distress which would result
from strict enforcement. Certain
judges have recently determiued the
oil company injunctions on the ground
of their economic effect.
The importance of the attorney gen.
erals action lie, an the fact that once
the Supreme Courts decide the APP
peals. foreign Interests win have COM
piled with the desire of the Gales az.
ministration for exhaustive cons, fera-
tion of the question in the lower
courts. After that. If the decision is
against the companies. they can ap-
peal to their governments for pro-
lection. Then there would be ground
enabling Washington and Mexico City
to formulate basis for arbitration or
for another solution.

LONE CLUE |SLEFT.
IN $4,000 ROBBERY
Assortment of Tools Gives
Only Trace of "Job" at
1923 G Street.

An assortment Of tools is the only
clue held by the police today in the
$4,000 jewel and antique robbery exc
cuted some time yesterday by skilled
safe crackers at the antique store
Of Adam f. Arnold, 1923 G street.
The tools, which show no fingerprints,
were successfully used by the rob-
bers both in cutting out large Sec
ton Of plaster work in an adjoining
office building to effect entrance and
to chisel the knob and dial from the
giant seven-foot safe in the rear OF
the Arnold store.
After surveying the scene this
morning, Fred Sandberg, fingerprint
expert of the Police Department, de-
clared the Arnold robbery 1.-The clean
est safe job l have ever seen in my
experience on the Police Department.
He said not only were the safe crack
ers experts in that line. but also in
the selection Of jewelry as they sorted
out the really valuable pieces and left
behind pieces which to the layman
would appear to be most valuable. but
in reality were worth comparatively
little.
Blankets found in the basement of
IL. store convinced police that the
robbers were prepared to blow open
the safe if necessary.
The robbery was discovered by Mr..
Arnold last night when he dropped
into his store. He reported y police
that the front section of the store was
orderly, but when he went to the rear
he found the ruined safe and trays of
antiq les and jeWelry scattered over
the floor.
Several particularly valuable pieces
were Immediately missed by Mr.. Ar
mold, and he gave police this morning
a description of $S.400 worth Of the
stolen gems. He said that it would
him several days to make COM
plete inventory and ascertain the ex.
act amount of his loss, which he est1-
mated at $4,000. He told police some
of the jewelry was insured.
Two Detectives Busy.
With the items lost were: A large
turban head ornament. reputed to
have been worn by an Indian prince,
valued at 500; three emerald and
diamond platinum bracelets and gold
necklace set with amethysts, a large
topaz necklace and bracelet to match,
garnet neckclace and earrings to
match, four diamond bar pins and
large jade ring. one large ring with
a pearl in the center.
Headquarters Detective Patrick
O'Brien was assigned to the case last
night, while Detective Tom Nalley was
detailed to help him today.
