JAMES LO! Funeral services James Longstreet, prominent Army officer and well known resident of this city, who died Saturday at Chey- enne, Wyo., will be held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at the residence of a brother, Maj. Robert Lee Long- street, 1627 K street northwest, the} old Bonaparte home. Burial will be with full military honors in Arling- {ton cemetery. Col. Longstreet died | in the saddle, participating-in a re- | iew of the 13th Cavalry. His death! vas attributed to heart failure. Col. Longstreet born in Geor- ago. He w s ‘the son and namesake of Lieut. Gen. | James Longstreet of the Southern | Confederacy. He was descended on both sides of the family from men who were prominent officers in all the i wars, beginning w the He ved with th nk 1 war, er = e in the Regular He re- turned recently from overseas, where {he served on the staif of Gen.

He re- ined on active service in the oc- | cupation of the island and, when the Philippine insurrection came on, com- | manded a_compa 29th Volun- | teer Infantr: remaining _there | throughout that emergency. On the completion of this campaign he was appointed in the Regular Arm valry officer. While serving capacity he organized Troop cne of the newly created Regular Army cavalry regiments, the 12th, and by a strange coincidence was in com- mand of that regiment for a short period before his sudden death. In the Vera Cruz expedition he was encamped with his regiment at Texas ¢ awaiting transport to Vera Cruz, when the tidal wave swept away the whole encampment and equipment, but by his heroic efforts he managed to save all men and horses of his command. In Border Defense. On re-equipment, the regiment was sent to the patrol and defense of the Mexican border, his troop having charge of eighty miles of the border and one of the smaller gateways into Mexico, northwest of Eagle Pass. Hs introduced quite an innovation in the defense of the border from bandit raids by erect- ing barricades of bales of hay, which proved an effective method of defense as well as a camoufiage for the posi- tion: Gen. Bullard of world war fame made an inspection and complimented the in- genuity of the colone! and ordered simi- lar barricades to be placed along the en- tire border. Later, Col. Longstreet was sent by Gen. Tasker H. Biiss to south- ern California_to establish a camp for a provisional brigade. There he made the first authentic war map of the Cal- ifornian and Mexican horder. Following America’s entry Into the world war, he was assigned as com- manding officer of the ammunition train of the 81st Division, National Army, organized at Camp Jackson, S. C. which he successfully trained. He was then called upon to train one of the new cavalry regiments, which work had been neglected up to that time, as the infantry divisions were wanted first for overseas service. He was directed to organize the squadron at Hawali into a full regiment of ap- proximately 3,000 men, of which he took responsibility of charge and command. Troops Brought to U. 8. This was done expeditiously, and the troops were brought to the United States and sent to the border to re- lieve those on duty there. He was in hopes that the regiment would be sent for combat service overseas, and, when it was determined that no cavalry would be sent across, eagerly sought service with the combat troops in France, and_was sent over as re placement officer and supply officer | of the army of occupation into Ger- many. He went in with the first troops sont to the Coblenz area. He there organized and established the whole system of/ supply of that army until 1 i | sutt | was held at st tits after more than two years, when or- ders were Issued for complete evacu: ation by our troops by the 1st of July of this year. He was then sent as the llaison officer representing the Ameri. can Army at the British headquar- ters at Cologne on the Rhinme, where he served under Gen. Mooreland until recently ordered home. He reached America a few weeks ago and received orders assigning him to his old regi- ment, the 13th Cavalry at Fort Rus- sell, Wyo. He was in command there until his death. Col. Longstreet is survived by a sis- ter, Mrs. J. E. Whelchel of Washing- ton; his stepmother. Mrs. Helen Dorteh Longstreet of Washington and Georgia; two brothers, Maj.

Wh U 8N, SODA FOUNTAINS INVADE GREAT BRITAIN GUSHING FORTH OPPORTUNITIES Great Britain has fallen for and adopted anotaer Americen product of exceptional utility and worth— the soda fountatn. ‘While that apparatus is extremely popular in this country in view of recent developments, there seems to be no particular need for one on an island that is as wet as the sea that surrounds it, but Consul Calvin H, Hitch, at Nottingham, assures the Department of Commerce that they can “now be found in most of the provincial cities of the United Kingdom.” Until recently, however, the. consul said, “they were prac- tically unknown in this country out- side of London.” The majority of the soda fountains now being sold in England are pur- chased by the proprietors of choco- late shops, cafes and department stores, the consul's report states. So far, though, none of them has been installed in drug stores, Mr. Hitch says, but he prophesies that “this class of trade may later be developed and should prove very profitable.” Following out his duty of looking out for trade possibilities for Ameri- can business men, the consul sug- gests that large concerns in the United States who engage in the manufacture of soda foun ice cream free: and _simila s of goods, ‘“should investigate market and consider the advisability of opening branch houses in one of the larger cities of the United King- dom.” THEATERVIETIG OPPOSING CHARIY Relatives of Dead and Sur- vivors of Knickerbocker Turn Down Idea.

In a brief statement to the council, Mr. Davis said the town had always had a balance in the treasury at the end of each fiscal year for the past twenty years, but that it was found necessary, owing to the rapid growth of the town, during the past two years, to use some of the re- rve funds. According to the report submitted the estimated income of the town for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1923 will be as follows. General and special taxes, $20,000; road tax fund: from Montgomery and Prince George counties, Md., $2,100; interest on de- 00; miscellaneous permits, ); totaling, $22,500.
