Commissioner Oyster has ordered in advance his share of the cookies that are to be sold tomorrow on the streets of Washington for the benefit of delinquent children. “Did you like cookies when you were a boy, Mr. Commissioner?” tsked . the Juvenlle Protective Associa- tion. “I certainly, did, and I.like them n better foday,” was the reply. ‘Send me some of the cookies you will sell for the unfortunate children of the District. [Ill be glad to buy them. The purpose of the “cookie da: announced by the Juvenile Protective Association is to raise funds to carry its work over the summer months, 5o that, quote Commissioner Oyster again, “the essential work done with fine effect” by the organization shall not cease at a critical point. | During the past three years the or- ganization has aided nearly fifteen hundred children who mizht other- | wise have been pushed from the clas- | sification of delinquent into that of ! criminals. Organized in 1917 to study and prevent delinquency, and to pro- tect delinquent children, the Juvenile Protective Association has fulfilled its purpose by aciing as big brother or big sister to the youngsters who fl?ve known little of happy family e. Mrs. Whitman Cross, president of in announcing the " said: “Tirere is. no other organization in Wasiington doing just what the Juvenile Protective Association does. Our field is the child on the edge of delinquency who might, by corrective measures, be saved from the disgrace of arrest and court sentence. and might Lecome a useful citizen in- stead of a destructive force. We are saving citizens for Washington, and there is no more vital work than this.” J. Wilmer Latimer, former judge of the Juvenile Court here, also is- sued a statement highly indorsing the work of the organization from its preventive side. COMMITTEE GIVEN SOLDIER AID BILL (Continued from First Page.) CORNER STONE LAD BYBISHOP HARDING Impressive Ceremonies as All Saints’ Church Is Be- gun at Chevy Chase. Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, Bishop of Washington, last evening lald the corner stone for the new edifice of All Saints' Protestant Episcopal Church, on Chevy Chase Circle, in the presence of members of the congregation, vestrsmen and the clergy gathered for the exerciscs. Kenil- worth Lodge, No. 198, ¥. A. A. M, as sisted in the dedication. Preceding the exercises, there was a devotional service on the site of the new building, led by the rector of All Saints’ Church, Rev. J. W. Austin. This portion of the ceremony included the reading of appropriate Psalms by Rev. H. Allen Griffith and congregation and the sing- ing of hymns by the choir. Rev. George F. Dudley, rector of St. Stephen's Epis- copal Church, read the prayer. Many Records Saved. Just before the stone was laid there was placed in it the following -articles commemorative of the occasion: Copies of Washington newspapers of the 1lth and 13th of June; the diocesan journal; a copy of the Parish Visitor, official pub- lication of the church; list of officers of the church; a set of cuins of this coun- try; a Bible; a prayer book; & program of the dedication exercises and a pam- phlet containing the history of the parish, and plans for the new church building. Bishop Harding then ordered the stone to be placed. and taking a trow= el cemented the block into position. Following _ the doxology, _Bishop Harding made an address in which he complimented the church on its growth since the laying of the cormer stone of the present church building, exactly twenty years ago to the day. Deplores Sabbath Laxness. ‘The bishop told of the good that the church has done for the world and de- plored the present trend toward gen- eral disregard of the Sabbath, even by ‘members of the churches. The bishop deplored the attempts to “overthrow existing institutiona” He concluded by expressing the wisk that the All Saints' Church will prosper for the good of the community and the church. Members of the Kenilworth “Mazens who assisted the bishop in laying the stone we! Willlam P. Hay, worshipful master; R. F. Green, jr., senior warden; L. G. Van Fossen, junior warden; C. E.

It is the opinion of the committee that by far the greater number of the veterans will select the adjusted serv- ice certificates or insurance plan. The committee said in this connection: “Assuming that men will use ordi- nary judgment and be guided by what clearly appears to be to their best in- terest, we will find little difficulty in ining which plan will = be by the vast majority. If an aj who would be entitled to re- ceive $300 under the cash plan, which would be paid to him in quarterly in- stallments of $50 and spread over two years, finds by examination of the certificate plan that he can, immedi- ately after the expiration ‘of these two years, have a credR of $611.50 immediately draw $550 and still retain an insur- ance on his life for twenty years, vithout the payment of a single cent, can there be any doubt that he would accept the latter proposition? Considers Average Age. “It must be remembered also that the ‘average age of the recipients in 1922 will be in the neighborhood of twenty-eight years, the time of life at which they either have homes or are contemplating such, and who will, therefore, give greater weight to ulti- mato benefits than to immediate grati- fication. The question is not presented to the applicant as to"whether he will 2ceept $400 in 2 single immediate cash payment or $550 at the expiration of two years, but whether he will accept $400 in $50 installments spread over two years, or $550 at the end of two years, with an additional credit of life insurance, fully paid, for twenty years. “It would seem, therefore, that only the inconsiderate or -dressed would exercise his opinion in favor of the cash plan when he fully- under- stands the advantage of the certificate plan. And before the veteran exer- cises his judgment he will have been fully informed as to just what each proposition means to him.” ” Tt is the:belief of the committes that comparhtively few of the men will take the plans providing for home buying and farm buying, for voc: tional training and for land settle- ment. With regard to the financing of the adjusted compensation, the committeo said: “The general assumption that the enactment of this bill into law will im- mediately load upon the backs of an already excessively tax-burdened pub- lic an immense additional liability is unwarranted. “It will be seen that no payment of importance will be required until after July, 1922, giving ample oppor- tunity to adjust the estimated Treas- ury deficits and, by reasonable econ- omy, to meet the added liability in- curred by this legislation without any taxatian. increase in “The payments te be made after July 1, 1922, will De so divided as to 2dd a comparatively small sum to our national expenses for each yeAr. “Without attempting the allotment of any prcapective receipts, but mere- ly as a suggestion of one means. of meeting the obligations of this meas- ure, the committee beg to remind the Senate that there will undoubtedly be funded into long-time bonds the debts due this country for money advanced our associates in the world war. The allies having now agreed with Ge many upon the amount of reparations to be paid by Germany to them, will be in 2 position to use the funds re- ceived in reparations to meet the in- terest on their obligations to the United States. The interest on these bonds will, in our opinion, more than care for the payments necessary each year to meet the requirements of this nrq,g;udt lz'.-fi":fxmn' “The_to ivances made government during the war to 'Z.ir‘i'.': sociates aggreated $9,580,823,677, of m\ there has been repaid $114,540,- Deplores Use of Term “Bonus.” The committee deplored the fact that the proposed legislation has come to be referred to as a “soldiers’ bonus bill.” It said: “This proposed legislation is gen. erally referred to as the ‘soldier's bonus bill.’ No name could be ap- plied that would be more irrelevant. It is o than Srronecus. It stamps C: upon a just and unquestioned nati moralobligation . the e in no sense seeks to express a na- tional gratitude by a money gift to our soldiers. It is not so intended by its supporters and the veterans of the world war would not 8o accept it.

The new edifice, which will seat up- ‘ward of 500 persons, was designed by Delos H. Smith, architect, and is be- ing constructed by D. E. Nichol, build- ed. It will harmonize in_appearance with the present church. It is not the intention to complete the structure at the present time, only the chancel, three bays of the nave and some aux- {liary rooms being pruvided for. Later it is planned to add a tower, complete the nave and construct a porch, bap- tistry and morning chapel. . Births Reported.

OXFORD, Ohlo, June 14.—We should not be preparing for future wars, but doing our best to heal the wounds of tie war just ended, Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio declared here today in a commencement ‘address in Miami University. “The country 18 weighted down with the burdens of the war, and it seems to me that of all the times in our his- tory, this is the hour when we should not be preparing for future wars, but doing our best to heal the wounds of the war just ended,” Senator Pom- erene said, “and doing our best to prevent war in the future, and its con- sequent loss of life and treasure. If the United States Is determined to have the biggest Navy in the world, he said, “with our resources and our men, no other people can compete with us. Have No Aggressive Designs. “But why do we want it? We have no aggressive designs upon any other nation, and at sea we are stronger than any save one.” A plan of disarmament was urged by the senator. “Wkat harm can come from trying now to negotiate a plan of disarmament, and meanwhile to give the President the power to sus- pend hew construction, in whole or in part, if the prospect of agreement seemed encouraging?’ he asked. Disvussing “America — What It means,” the Ohio senator declared the “domestic affairs of other nations are theirs to settle and our domestic re- lations are ours to settle. We ought not to interfere with theirs, and they shall not interfere with ours.” However, he said, his stand on rati- fication of the Versailles treaty, with proper reservations, is the same. . “Failure to ratify it,” he continued, “now is water over the dam, but I still indulge the hope that there may be some association of the nations of the world which will join in common counsel over the settlement of imter- national disputes, to the end that the awful carnage which we have wit- ssed and from which we have suf- fered may at least be reduced to a minimum.”™ Immigration should be restricted, Senator Pomerene asserted. ‘“After ‘we have borne the burdens of partici- pating in the world war, why should we continue to receive a constant stream of immigrants, when we well know that in our country S0 many are out of work.” SHOT FOR TAKING LANTEEN.

Plans to enforce the recent ruling of the board of education designed to er‘n.d- icate the secret societies in the high schools were discussed at a conference between Supt. Ballou and principals of the senior institutions yesterday after- noon at the Franklin School. The new order debars members of fraternities and sororities in the high schools from obtaining any honors or distinction while in school Forms which the students will be forced to sign regarding the organiza- tions of which they are members were considered. However, no definite deci- sion was reached as to the kind of form to be used. It is understood that Dr. Ballou will base the form on suggestions made to him by the high school heads. The board’s new ruling will again be discussed at a meeting of fraternity rep- resentatives with Robert A. Maurer, principal of Central High School, this afternoon at the school. It is probable that action will be taken by the repre- sentatives of such organizations to in- dicate to school authorities what posi- tion the secret societies will take rela- fl\ée to lsh:hnew order. upt. Ballou made it clear that he in- tended to strictly enforce the new nrdl:r which he believes will wipe out all the secret organizations in the high schools unless they are greatly modified in char. acter. NEW METHOD FOR TRIALS. ing D. C. Police Procedure. A new method of bringing to trial members of the District police force and of appointing the trial board is proposed in a bill introduced, by re- Qquest, today by Senator Ball of Dela- ware, chairman of the District com- mittee. The bill amends existing law relating to the police force and speci- fies that no member of the force shall be removed except upon Wwritten charges, preferred to the trial board against him by the major and super- intendent or by any person.or persons who may have just cause for com- plaint against any member of the po- lice force. 1t is provided further that the Dis- trict Commissioners ghall ‘be author- ized to appoint one or more trial boards_to handle these cases. The first appointee shall be a member of the bar of the District of Columbla not connected with the office of the corporation counsel or with the office of the United States attorney for the District. The second shall be a mem- ber of the police force and the third shall be a business man of the Dis- trict.

OF MANDATE ISSUE Diplomats Told League Has Received No Reply to Its Invitation. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, June 13—The United States government hus been reminded through diplomatic charmels that the league of nations has received no answer to its invitation to the United States to send a representutive to discuss matters, Both the class “A” and “E” man- dates are on the agenda for the meet- ing of the council of the league to be held in Geneva June 17. The colonial offices of the various countries are interested in bringing pressure for an carly solution of the question of mandates. The British appear to be particularly anxious to close up the matter because of the situation in Mesopotamia. The French colonial authorities are aiso mrging prompt settlement. It is not quite clear, however, when the ques- tion of mandates wiil come up. The one tendency is to consider that the United States %iaa defaulted by not sending a represemaive to the league of nations, as she was *avite to do, and fin: of the class Those favoring this tendency to regard the failure of the Washing- ton government to reply to the invi- tation to attend as equivalent to aban- donment of the American protest.
