Instead of being somewhat favored, as might seem to be justified by the character and pecullarities ‘of the city, the grade of street ligiting and the expenditure. for lighting in Washington are very far below the best and much below an average of cities comparable in population and mileage of streets. Plans and studies ure being made of methods of greatly improving the degree, the effective- ness and the efficiency of lighting, at a less increment of cost.

New Poles Placed. The public utilities companies placed 912 new poles in the Diatriot 1ast year to carry their service wires, as compared with only 348 the pre- ceding vear. This heavy Increase, Mr. Hadley attributes to the rapid development of the suburbs, result- ing in a demand for tclephone and electric light service. } The total number of poles in the city on June 30 last was 20,914. Fees for electrical permits year aggregated $13.861. Mr. ley renews his request for a larger personnel to keep pace with the demand for electric inspection work.

This is the first step in a movement, announced today, to provide such ex- aminations for postal employes all over the United States and posses- sions. The “exams” are to be free and at the option of the employes. The service is not compulsory. : Perhaps the largest single room in the Post Office Department building is being newly fitted for the public health clinic. which is from the northeast section of. the city. This clinic will continue to erve all’who call, and in addition will. take care of the medical examinations of the postal employes.

This latter step would be used only as a very last resort. Checking and keeping track probably would be al- together too large an order even for the efficient postal service. But the government has & precedent for the first and most probable method of limiting the mails, in case such a procedure should .become necessary. During-the: war, for a time, a ban was placed on the use of mall trains for carrying certain artieles, in order that the iremendous number of draft ques- tionnafres 4 other government documents might havé way to all parts of the . country. Such limiting of ‘the malls, it is polnted out, would lighten up the bulk of the mail tfemendously, and leave the mail trains still in service free to carry oaly thé important first- class mail and parcel posf, and the newspapers of the country. Postal Officials Reticent. Postal officials still are very reti- cent about the effects of the strike upo the service has been slowed up con- siderably.

Some time ago Judge John P.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL ROW TO GONGRESS Trustees Plan td Have Con- trol Issue Settled When Asking for Funds. The fight for retention of the In- dustrial Home School as a place for the care of wards of the District will de laid before Congress if possible, F. W. McReynolds, chairman of, the trustees of the school, declared to- day. Although the school is standing fdle | today by the action of the board of children’s guardians yesterday in re- moving the last three childrer who were being cared for there, Mr. Mc- Reynolds made it plain today that he did not belleve the trustees would resign and thereby end the contro- versy. Instead of resigning, Chairman Mc- Reynolds said he expected that when the trustees meet Monday they would decide to ask the Commissioners to again Include in their new estimates an appropriation for operation of the | school during the fiscal vear begin- ! ning July 1, 1923. Congress May Settle Issue. ‘When that estimate is taken up by the appropriations committees of Congress, Mr. Reynolds continued, the lawmakers will have an oppor- tunity to decide whether they want the home school to pass under con- trol of the board of guardians or go out »f existence. A new element entered into the| controversey today when Mr. McRey- ! nolds asserted that the board of guardians on July 1 stipulated that Albert C. Herrick vould have to be rémoved as -superintendent of “the home school before ‘the guardians| would agree to use the Institution a a temporary recelving home for its | wards.

Future of School Uncertatin. Commissioner Rudolph, when ask- ed today what would be done with| the school, replied that no decision had been reathed yet. Congress in the current appropriation.act allowed | funds for the upkeep of the home| school for the ensuing twelve months, | and this money will revert to the Treasury while the school is without a student population Mr. McReynolds stated today that Chairman Madden of the House ap- propriations dommittee is already famlliar with the home school situ- ation, having made several trips to the institution. Mr. McReynolds sald the trustees of the school wanted to reach an agreement with the board of guar- dians, but did not feel that they should relinquish contiol over the manage- ment of the institution. 1 | 1 [ WHIL Close on September 15.

GREEK CABINET RESIGNS. Evacuation of Asia Minor Likely After Defeat. By the Assoclated Press. ATHENS, September 8.—The evacua tion of Asia Minor by the Greeks, as a result of the sugressful offensive against thelr army by the Turkish nationalists, is accepted here as a foregone conclusion, although it has not been announced officially. Meanwhile the cabinet has resigned as a result of the Greek reverses and a new ministry is in process of forma- tion, King Constantipe having asked former Premier Kalogeropoulos to get a new cabinet together. Evacuation Orders Likely. Actual orders for the evacuation of Asla Minor have not vet been glven, it is sald. but Gen. Donsmanos, the chief of staff, is atudying the problem 80 as to carry_out the maneuver under the beet c@nditions possible. The troops will probably be taken to the Islands of Chios. Mytilene and Samos in the Aegean sea, where. it is expected. they will be demobilized and disarmed, a part of them being sent to Thrace. Greek Genmerala Captured. A telephone message from Greek commander in the fleld says that Gen. Tricoupls, who had been appointed to the command, and Gen. Digenls were captured by Turkish cavairy while they were proceeding east of Smyrna. The taking of these generals, with their Staffs, w; connected with the n»%‘:(ed 'o'n?ngi their army corps, according to seem- ! ingly reliable information. this corps eventually retreating in the direction of Alashéhr. The third army corps, which suf- fered the least from the natlonalist pressure, retreated toward Brusa,and consequently doubt is cast upon the reports that Brusa had been evacu- ated. That Brusa had been occupled by the nationalists was denled here today, and it was declared the third corps had taken up its position there. Refugees Arrive. Refugees from Smyrna are already arriving here. Eight hundred of them were brought into Piraeus, the port of Athens. They were accom- panied by a number of functionaries bringing the archives of the Greek high commissioner at Smyrna. Gen. Hadjanestis, the deposed Greek commander, has been given permis- sion to remain abroad two months. Gen. Polimenakos has been ap- pointed commander-in-chief of the Greek forces in Asia Minor, follow- ing the capture of Gen. Tricoupis, Reports that King Constantine had left Athens are mnfounded.

Such states as Delaware and Nevada, it was sald, were allotted quotas out of all proportion to their populations and imposed hardships-of maintenance of guard units in excess ot those allotted to states of gredter domain-and residents. = Regarding the compostion of -the National Guard by tactical organiza- tions, he declared it to be his opinion that the basis should be eighteen”in- fantry and three cavalry divisions. First Line of Defense. “With such units intact,” he said. “and organized, the National Guard will be able to function efficiently in any emergency.. I am unalterably op- posed to such suggestions as having only infantry in the National Guard, as has been proposéd from some source, as that would make the Na- tional Guard useless until artillery could be trained and. its effectiveness ' in-any war delayed by approximately a year. In other words, with our Regular Army skeletonized ‘and the National Guard unorganized our country would have no first line of defense.” Maj. Gen. Rickards, chief of the militia bureau, issued .a statement {ndorsing the policy announced by Secrotary Weeks. 3 2585 “] am in hearty accord,” he-said, “with any proposition which will- place the peace time development of the National Guard on more eco- nomical basis without, the same ering its_power:and order- 1y development for the mission for which it is iatended.” officials, and the draft of prospec- | in| ATION’S ECONOMIC PROGRESS SHOWN DESPITE STRIKES Despite industrial difficulties, ta country’s_‘,economic - progress continuing steadily toward normal conditions, the ‘Commerce Depart- ment declaréd today in & survey of the general situation. “No clearer demonstration could be asked,” the department sald, “to indicate thé¢ soundness of the fundamental conditions underly- JAng the present busin revival than the persistence with which commerce and industry have pro- gressed in the face of recent se- rious obstacles.
