factory.
II am not discussing the figure Of
10000 men; I am prepared to accept
that these men go to the British In
May. l am asking to Teceive the same
number of troops in June. There are
close to 100000 Amerio ans in France
at present, but only fiWe divisions, or
about $4,000 men, can be considered
as combatants. That is not salts
factory proportion"
Lord Miner arose. much sincensed at
NJ Clemencau,S statement, which he
considered quite unjust.

asserted, that there was something

NEWTyPE WORKER
/. UNDER COL. GRANT
Three Expert Crews Installed
to Operate Arlington Me-
mortal Draw.

Lieut.. Col. U. s. Grant, Sd, director
| of public buildings and public parks,
today had under his jurisdiction q new
! type of trained workman-three expert
crews to operate the baScule draw span
! in, the central portion OF Arlington
Memorial Bridge, which opens up like
a jackknife to permit the passage OF
navigation to and from Georgetown.
The builder Of the span, the Phoenix
Bridge Co. of Phoenixville, Pa, has
| lust completed training the crews that
will operate the bridge. Now they are
considered efficient in their work ana
are in full charge.
24-Hour Shift Maintained.
A 24-hour shift Is being maintained
| under Col Grants orders. While there
are three men on each shift, two are
sufficient to operate the lifting ana
lowering machinery, but the extra man
Is placed in the crew to permit the
men to have their regular days on
and to take care Of sick leave ana
annual leave.
control and Is operated like street
car. One man actually operates the
controls, while the other Is the over
seer who stands on the fixed deck like
the skipper of a ship and signals to the
man below, who operates the controls
like an engineer. A series Of signals Is
given and when navigation desires to
pass the bridge the man on top presses
some buttons and unlocks the ma
chinery, enabling the machinery be-
low to be operated. The devices are
worked by electrical interlocking, to in
sure greater safety.
Machinery Is Hidden.
This span, the engineers said today,
is q rather unusual one, as It had to
be constructed specially from an archi-
tectural viewpoint. Most bridges Of
this type-and this is the only one in
this vicinity Of the country-have an
operators house on top as lookout for
navigation. In order that the beauty
of the bridge might not be marred by
any structures overhead, the engineers
had to construct this span with the fa-
cilities hidden. AS a result, hundreds OF
thousands of motorists of the future
will pass over the Arlington Memorial
Bridge, without even knowing that the
operating machinery exists, for it is
hidden below in the structure of the
bridge proper.
There win be periodic openings Of
the span so that it may be tested, but
usually there will be only one or two
openings day. when tugs and sand
and gravel barges are plying to and fro.

DAISY DE DOE ENTERS
PLEA FOR PROBATION
Convicted Former Secretary of
Clara Bow Faces 0ne-to-Ten
Years in Prison.

LOS ANGELES, February 3.-Only
a written plea for mercy by Clara Bow
and a jury's recommendation for leni-
ency stood today between penitentiary
walls and Daisy De Doe, convicted of
the theft of 1928 from the film red-head.
The slim, blond Daisy, who until
Hollywood's recent real life thriller was
the film fiapper's secretary, saw her
hope for a new trial go glimmering in
Superior Judge William Doran's court
yesterday.
A plea for probation instead Of a
1-to-10-year sentence for the grand
theft conviction was entered by Daisy's
counsel, William Beirne, when the plea
for a new trial was denied.
Among the angles which Judge Doran
may hold of prime importance in con-
sidering the probation plea before CIV
ing a decision next Tuesday is deli
cately scented note from Actress Bow
to the district attorney.
The latest episode of the spectacular
case found another big crowd on hand
when the plea for new trail was heard
and the probationary plea entered.
Daisy went back to her county jail cell
smiling cheerfully, with her one card
left to play.
