Hans Christian of Elsinore by e.
M. Kristoffersen "It's q secret, but
will tell you; want to be flut-
list in the Kings Guard just like my
famous Uncle Henry" Hans Christ
ian would say. Now how was a lit
tie Danish boy to become anything
so grand as a flutist in the Kings
Guard especially when all he had
to play on was small willow flute?
Yet Hans could play so nicely that
even Mette, the goat, liked to listen
when she was MIXED.
It might never have come true
this wish Of Hans-if Sailor Uncle
Jens had not visited with Hans In
Copenhagen, and If Hans had not
had a birthday very soon.
Imagine visiting in Copenhagen
Hans was taken to the place where
Royal Porcelain is made and there
he bought a teacup, with most
difficult handle, for his mother
Climbing the historic tower was
fun, too. But more exciting than
any of these things, to Hans was
seeing the Kings Guard parade II
the Palace Square! And most thrill
ing Of all was Hans adventure with
the King himself. But"I won't tel
you about that for you will discov
er it when you read it.

District consumers will be forced to
pay 1889 900 extra for water consumed
during the last fiscal year. it was dis
closed at the District Building today.
Date Of the compilation Of water
bills, rather than the period during
which the water was consumed, should
be used rs the basis for applying the
increase, District Auditor Daniel Dono-
van has instructed Edward H. Grove,
water registrar.
Donovan pointed out that when Con-
gress ordered IS per cent decrease in
water rates, effective July i, 1884, the
Commissioners decided that all bills
sent out after that date should carry
the reduced rate. AS = result some
consumers obtained benefits Of the re-

GUARD OFFICERS
SUING FOR PAY
Oisbursing Officer Refused
Settlement Because of
"UnoffiCia| Promotions"

A bloodless civil war between 13 offi-
GERS of the District National Guard
and Maj. James R. Lusby, Guard dis
bursting officer. broke out today after
the officers filed suit in United States
District Court for pay being held up
because of unofficial promotions"
Approximately 81 500 involved in the
litigation is available, according to
Maj. Lusby, but cannot be paid the
officers until their promotions are rec
ognized by the War Department and
what appears to be a somewhat mud
died situation is cleared up
The plaintiffs are Lieut.. Col. Walter

east; George V. Selwin, TOT Jefferson
street; Park F. Anderson, 1901 Fiji
teenth street, and Norwood S. Soth-
oron, 1912 Twenty-f1rst street.
Based on Previous Rank.
The pay sought, however, is based
on the rank the plaintiffs held prior
to their promotions. Filed yesterday
through Lieuts. Anderson and Soth-
oron as attorneys, the suit states the
plaintiffs are officers in the Coast Ar
tillery Corps of the District and men,
bers of the 26Oth Coast Artillery, Dis
trict National Guard.
1t is further stated the officers per-
formed training duties under author
ity of the War Department at Fort
Story, Va. from July 10 to "a, with
the exception of Lieut.. Sothoron, who
attended camp from July 10 to 10,
inclusive
Despite these services, the suit says,
Maj. Lusby, named defendant, has re-
fused to pay the officers their regular
compensation. The officers asked the
court for writ of mandamus to COM
pei Maj. Lusby to pay each of the
plaintiffs the pay and allowances
which they are due under the law.
Recognized by Bureau.
The petition for the writ also states
that the officers have been recognized
by the National Guard Bureau of the
War Department as officers in the
rank for which they are seeking pay.
On July "a, the petition continued,
other members Of the 260th Coast
Artillery received pay and that under
the provisions Of the national defense
act each of the petitioners is entitled
to pay for his services.
Maj. Lusby said today the services
OF the l3 officers were performed
under grades not recognized by the
War Department and that they will
not be paid until such recognition
Is forthcoming.
Technically" Maj Lusby added
when an officer accepts a promotion
he Is no longer entitled to pay for
his former grade"

Rickenbacker, appearing before the

which would close Military road and
permit the use of Arlington Farm and

operating and serving q positive need
But it is dangerous and this bill offers
the only means Of eliminating the
hazards"
Nichols denounced the stand taken
by Arlington County in connection

substitute road Is more than fair"
