; j \ ASK GREATER FUND FOR STREET LIGHTS COmmis.smn’s Estimates Call for Enough to Extend System in Suburbs. In an effort to meet the need for more street lights in the National Capital, the Commissioners have ask- «ed Congress in their estimates for a substantial increase in the appropri- =tion for that purpose, it was learned lust night. The current appropriation for street lighting is $430,000. The exact amount asked for by the city heads for next vear will not be known until the budget goes from the Treasury to Congress. It is understood, how- ever, that the request for next vear is higher than the current. sum. To a person unfamiliar with mu- nicipal affairs, $430,000 would appear to be a liberal allotment for street lighting. When you consider, how- ever, that more than 90 per cent of that amount goes as payment for gas and electric current and maintenance of equipment, it is apparent what a smail amount the Commissioners have ailable for extension of the light- ing _system. With the city growing steadily and new suburbs rapidly being developed, it is felt by District offlcials that they hould have more money for new Jights and not o through each year tl more than enough to nd gas. » Warren B.

President Harding paid special at- tention to a little group of Confed- erate veterans in the army “gray,” shaking hands with them twice over and declaring to Comrade Gulich: “Well, comrade, I guess you and my father did the most of the fighting they did in the civil war, that right?” Then the ice was broken. Gen. Lejeune Greatly Pleaned. Maj. Gen. Lejeune has expressed himself as more than pleased with the week's strenuous ‘“campaigning” which his 5.000 “devil dogs" have just completed in this district, so celebrated as the scene of one of the civil war's bitterest battles, a district where forest fires added to the hor- ror of a six days’ incessant infantry battle, and where nearly 60,000 Amer- ican soldiers were listed in the cas- ualty columns. In spite of the spectacular features of this week in the Wilderness and the romancing indulged in by the many observers, Gen. Lejeune's pri- mary object has been to properly condition and drill this force of men, many of whom are ignorant of actual war conditions. The . famous “devil- dog” regiments which fought the great fights of Belleau Woods, in the Argonne and at Chateau Thierry have been badly decimated by three years of peace-time demobilization. Only 5 per cent of the troops now in the field are overseas veteran: Consequently the operations under Force Commander Brig. Gen. Butler has been a constant and diligent ef- fort to accustom the men to field con- ditions, to prolonged marches, to ef- fective' movements through woods. across broken terrain and around water areas. The work of achieving co-ordination between all the differ- ent branches. such as signalers, ar- tillery, aviation, supply and general staff is as highly necessary to the success of an army as is the matter of personnel strength and clever strategy. It was these fundamentals that have been stressed all week dur- ing the maneuvers, in which marines were landing from imaginary battle- ships, landing on assumed beaches, scaling fortified -bluffs and digging themselves in securely on hostile ground in the face of enemy counter- attacks. Brig. Gen. Smedley Butler set the jpace for the men himself on the march from Quantico, when many of the undisciplined soldfers fell -victim to the heat and dust. He hiked the twelve miles from Fredericksburg at the head of the column, and on hear- ing reports of many stragglers, went to the rear, inspired the exhausted stragglers to renewed effort and him- self shouldered a sixty-pound pack and gun for a young private and thus “brought up the regr” After that example there was no more “grouch- ing” heard from the ranks. An_achievement' which the corps has special reagon to be proud of, also, is the performance of the bat- pairing the efficiency of the fire-fight- | tery of six 155-milimeter guns, which, ing forces, there is no doubt that we |with their limbers and an eleven-ton will then be co-operating to the full- | caterpillar tractor each, made a cross- est extent in the work of the com- mittee_referred to above, and that beneficial _results will undoubtedly follow. 1 ask that this matter be given vour earnest consideration, and that each of you accord your full support to the work, to the end that our past record for unfailing patri- otic effort may be maintained.” Campaign to Be Vigoroms. Although Monday. October 10, has been set aside for general observance of fire prevention, the citizens' com- | mittee and Chief Watson are arrang- | ing to devote that entire week to a vigorous campaign of publicity to drive home to every resident of the city the possible causes of fire that lurk in homes and business places. All persons will be urged to clear cellars and attics of rubbish, one of the most frequent causes of fire.

The casual observer notes that| everywhere the camp is well ordered and thoroughly shipshape: that the | water supply is excellently rovided | from distant wells and for common purposes from surface pools made by dams_constructed by the Engineer Corps. Blankets are there for cold | nights and skeeter netting for hot! nights. The “chow” provided by Maj. Horton is excellent. Only a few foot “casualties” are to be found at the Red Cross center. Each night in a| huge natural amphitheater there is| community singing, cheering and the movies. B The feature of the camp luxuries, however, is the Wilderness White House ,set on a prominence, Which has 4 wonderful view of the whole camp. Here, the President has porce- lain bathtubs, with running hot and | cold water, a huge reception room for callers, a dozen auxillary tents for | his escort, brass bedsteads, matched flooring, oil-stove heaters, and many other of the “comforts of home.” President Specially Guarded. A special bodyguard has been ! formed for President Harding. which | consists of fourteen of the world's best rifiemen. under direction of Gun- | ner Wiggs, who won the individual | champion marksman medal at Camp } Perry, Ohio, September 22, in the na- ! tional contests, by making 167 con- secutive bull's-eyes, at a range of | 11,000 vards, without stopping.

VIGOR IS UNDIMINISHED BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commissioner to Ameri By Cuble to The Star. PARIS, October 1.—Tomorrow, Sun- day, after twenty-one months of silence, Georges Olemenceau makes his first speech since leaving office as premier of France. The speech will be deliv- cred at the unveiling of a monument erected in his honor by his fellow citi- zens in his native department, Vendee. This event is awaited with eager curiosity in political circles, and indeed all France. The “Tiger” was eighty vears old Wednesday. His vigor is undiminished. He can write for five hours at a sitting and can travel 300 miles a day in an automobile.

If David Lloyd George, the Brit- ish prime minister, is guilty of day after day demanding revisions to Germany's advantage, France's gov- ernment s still more guilty for agreeing to these revisions instead of holding to the treaty terms pure and simple. 2 then retired to his little Verdee house Y built on the beach among the fishermen. | Comes From Obscurity.

The process was developed by America’s new chem- ical industry built up during the war to compete with the German world-wide monopal¥ of the chem- ical and dyestuff industry. The departed spirit of John Bar- leycorn gave the finishing touch to the new fabric, chemists say. They began their experiments by producing in the laboratory the exact chemical product turned omt by the Asiatic silk worm in_his cocoon. But here they struck a snag. The manufactured silk proved brittle and fragile. It was then determined the secret lay in the weathering which. tempered the silk-worm product. Chemists next sought something that would season their product. They found it in the beverage banned by the Volstead law—grain aleohol—and tests just completed, it is stated, have demonstrated that in alco- hol lies the secret of a synthetic silk that will readily take the place of the natural product with- out sacrificing any of iis silken “rustle and swish.” —_— will appear this month.

This very week a majority of the departmental as- semblies have made the same obser- vation and have urged the govern- ment, alas, tardily, to return to the treaty terms. I am no prophet, but I am sure I am not mistaken when I say that if the press of France tries to stifie Clem- enceau’s warning the country will be profoundly stirred. All of the private and selfish interests the “Tiger” had to squash to open the road to victory, all of the stern measures he had to take measures to ¥ave the country, have since been in league against him and his work.
