Prospects of the passage of the bill extending the jurisdiction of the Dis- trict Municipal Court at the present session of Congress do not appear bright at this time. The bill is at present before a subcommittee of the Senate judiclary committee, headed by Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, who has Indicated that the bill will have fo be rewritten in large part. If this is the case, in view of the fact that only a little more than two weeks re- main of the present session, and the fact that the bill would have to go to conference between the two houses even if it received a hearing in the Senate, there seoms little likelihood of action until after the new Con- Fresident Tenty W. residen enry . Sohon District Bar Association has m‘r’.fmff‘fi ted to Senator Kellogg two proposed amendments to the bill, one clarifying section one, with regard to the jurise diction of the Municipal Court, and the other relating to the appellate provisions of the measure.

The Kensel-| Kai, or opposition party, he held, con- sidered the eight battl ip and eight cruiser program vital to the coun- try’s defense.

The annual health crusade District public schools will inception tomorrow, when 40,000 children enrolled in the elementary grades start the obscrvance of rules and regulations drafted by school offi- cials and the National Tuberculosis Association, which are designed to inculcate life habits of personal clean- liness and personal hygiene. The health movement has been so success- ful that school authorities have de- cided to give it a regular place in the school work from the fourth to the seventh grades, inclusive. The program consists of keeping eleven important health rules, at least three-fourths of which must be ob- served daily for fifteen weeks. Gen eral records are to be kept by the children, certified by the parents and recorded by the teacher. Certain dis- tinctive titles of the days of knight- hood are given for the observance of these rules over certain periods. R — AID FOR U. S. SOLDIERS.

Secretary Calls Alleged French Atrocities Berlin Propaganda. Stories about alleged atrocities committed by French colonial troops in the occupied area in Germany which have been circulated in this country “originate in Berlin and ap- pear to be very largely anti-French propaganda,” Secretary Colby says in a letter to Senator Spencer, repub- lican, Missouri. The senator made the letter public yesterday with the explanation that it answered “many inquiries and pro- tests” received by senators about the alleged misconduct of the French troops. Secretary Colby stated on informa- tion supplied by American diplomatic and military agents in Europe that “there are no negro troops remaining in the occupied area and no recent examples of behavior have: been brought forward.” FARM BILL INCREASEL. $206,000,000 Added to Agriculture Appropriations, The agricultural appropriation bill as approved yesterday by the Senate ag- ricultural committes carries nearly $206,000,000 more than the $33,000,000 House ‘total.

VETERAN REGAINS SEHT BY ELECTRICAL SHOCK 'I’aul McVicker, Walter Reed Pa- tient, Sees After Two Years’ Blindness. To have his eyesight restored after two vears of total blindness, resultant from injuries received in the St Mihiel géctor while fighting with the 109th CUnited States Infantry during the great war, is the experience of Paul McVicker of Chicago, who was discharged from Walter Reed Hospital vesterday and left for his home in the West practically a well man. This seeming miracle, according to the young' soldier. is due entirely to electrical treatment administered to him.at the hospital. MeVicker said last night that he w: unable to explain how he regained his { sight. “I_had been blind for nearly two years,” he said. “The doctors had de- clared my case hopeless, and 1 had almost resigned myself to my fate, when about a month ago a fellow patient asked me to let him try a treatment he had invented. Willing to take a chance on anything that might give me back my sight, I con- sented. 1 was laid out on a table, and given a ferrible shock. For two or three days I suffered from headache, but gne morning 1 woke up to find I could see. That is all I know about it. That I am grateful to my com- rade goes without saying. 1 hope he will be able to leave the hospital soon.” Replying to an Inquiry made at the hospital last night, the surgeon in charge stated that the records of McVicker's case were not available then, but full detafls could be had later. WILL DROP MIDDLEMAN. Wheat Growers to Cut Extra Prof- its Whenever Possible. CHICAGO, February 12—A co- operative plan for the selling of wheat was adopted today by the ex- ecutive board of the National Associa- tion of Wheat Growers. Members of the board said that the plan would mean the saving of approximately 55 cents a bushel through the elimina- tion of the middleman's profit. The growers: plan to establish cen- tral receiving stations in cach state, where the farmers may send their wheat and obtain a receipt for It. From these elevators the wheat will be sold direct to the millers. Sta- tions for receiving the wheat will also be established at all large sea- ports to handle export trade, it was announced. “The farmers get $1.40 a bushel for their wheat which costs from $2.50 to 2.75 to raise,” said W. C. McGreevy of Wichita, Kan. secretary of the assoclation.’ “If something is not done at once to relieve the situation the farmers will be forced to stop rais- ing_ wheat. “By our new plan we will dispense with at least two middlemen in the handling of the grain, and in some instances, a third and a fourth.

MILES URGES AID FOR DISABLED Loyal Legion Commander, at | Annual Banquet, Warns It Is U.'S. Duty. Crippled heroes of the world war, “who have been for two years neglect- ed” should be cared for by the gov- ernment and the bodies of American soldiers in France should be brought back home, declared Lieut. Gen. Nel- son A Miles, commander-in-chief of the Loyal Legion, at the annual Li coln dinner of the local commande: last night at the Willard Hotel. i Quoting _Lincoln’s admonition *to jcare for him who shall have borne the battle and_ for his widow and orphans,” Gen. Miles called attention to the plight of disabled soldiers of the recent war and emphasized the point that “the least we can do” is to care for them. About 200 guests and members of the order were seated at the tables, which covered the large ballroom. In | keeping with the spirit of the oc- casion, the room was elaborately deco- rated with the national colors and regimental flags. Reealls Lincoln. Representative Edward C. Little of Kansas, spoke on President Lincoln's vision citing his message to Congress in December, 1861: “The struggle of today is not altogether for today; it is for a vast future also.” Representative Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming spoke of Lincoln as an orator and of his marvelous power of swaying his auditors. hose Who now sleep ‘in Flanders fleld or beneath the soil of France" ,shnuld be “brought back to their homes_where their loved ones can place flowers and their country's flag upon their graves” said Gen Miles. “The bodies that cannot be identified should be gathered in one national cemetery and a monument erected to {commemorate their valor and sacri- { fice” e now are in a condition to call a conference of all the great war- making governments and devise meas- lures for the adjudication of interna. tional controversies by arbitration. he continued, in part, “and to limit armaments within safe and reason- able bounds.” Toast to the Colors. “All governments, municipal, state or national, must have an adequate physical force to maintain their ex- istence and authority,” said the gen- eral. For years I have recommended in oficial documents that our gov- ernment fix a standard for our physi- cal force commensurate with our population, wealth and national wel- fare. This would surely commend it- self to the nations of the world. I can conceive of no higher or more cred duty, because such action ould assure and safeguard our se- curity and independence and the exr ample would inspire and bless the people of all nations.” Toasts included the colors, the Presi- dent, deceased members of the order and Lincoln. Officers of the District commandery who attended were: Capt. Robert Ar- mour, commander; Maj. Gen. John L. Clem, senior vice commander; First Lieut. Thomas H. McKee, recorder; James F.
