* NEW AUDITORIUM PLANS GO FORWARD Legislation to Accept Gift of Mrs. F. S. Coolidge Put Through. Plans for the construction of the $60,000 auditorium for chamber music fn connection with the Library of Congress, the gift of Mrs. Frederic Shurtleff Coolidge, are going forward as rapidly as possible. A series of recitals in the auditorium may be given in October, it is said. Congress has put through legislation necessary to accept the ft of Mrs. Coolidge. The joint committee on library has approved tho location and general scheme for the auditorium, as suggested by the architect of the Capitol, David Lynn. The location. selected is the north- west inner courtyard of the Library and the scheme is for a single-storied rectangular structure across the north end of this, adjacent to the music divisién. The court is a level Jower than the outside of the bulld- ing and the roof of the auditorium will come only to the level of the main floor of the building. < the Exterfor to Conform. structure will be in effect part of the building it- terior will naturally con- to the style of the walls.

But there is 1so a broad authority given for the pplic on of the income “to further the purposes of musicology through the music division” of the library and “to do any and all other lawful acts and things designed to promote the art of musi Income to Be Large. The income avallable for these pur- poses will ultimately reach $25,000 a Year. During the present year, how- ever, as some of it will by her wish ~ be applied to certain equipment for the auditorium, the only undertaking possible from it will be a group of recitals in October. It is hoped to give these in the auditorium itself. They will be similar to those at the Freer Gallery last February. A program of the sort proposed, glven under governmental auspices at Washington, may have an influ- ence all over the country, it is sald. But_the recitals need not be limited to Washington. There is the radlo, and the programs may be broadcast. UPSHAW AND LA GUARDIA IN DEBATE ON DRY LAW Latter Vigorous En- forcement With Survey to Deter- mine Effect in Decade.

Gen. Albert C. Dalton, nssistant to the quartermaster gen- eral, who after presenting this plan to the last convention of the National Taxicab Owners, was authorized to proceed with perfecting the organiza- tion of the reserve motor transport service. Under the direction of Gen. Dalton, the regulations and tables of organization of this new reserve transportation Service are being pre- pared, and upon their completion they will be submitted to John J. Boobar of Washington, D. C., who is president of the Taxicab Owners' As- sociation. Distribution will then be made of the regulations to the larger taxicab companies for suggestions and remarks, and when these are re- ceived by the Department, they Will be submitted to the Secretary of War for approval. According to the present plans, the transport units will be divided into three distinct units, repair, operating and maintenance. The commissioned personnel will be selected from the managers and foreman of the varlous concerns. Each company will main- tain a certain number of units which will be dependent upon the personnel and equipment of the concerns.

Interest is being evinced by reserve officers in the District of Columbia and vicinity In these tentative Summer tralning details whick affect primarily those officers who are assigned to the 313th Field Artillery, Col. Leroy W. Herron commanding, and the 343d Engineers, under the command of Col. John Stewart. According to the present plans, the 313th Fleld Artillery will hold a unit camp, which will be entirely under the command of Col. Herron, who will be assisted by Capt. James B. Golden, Field Artillery, who has just reported for duty in the District of Columbia Organized Reserves' headquarters as an assistant to Col. John Scott. The present arrangements call for this regiment to proceed to Fort Hoyle, Md., about the middle of September, where they will report for their unit camp training. Though the details have not as yet been decided upon, the 343d En- gineers, under the command of Col. Stewart, will go to a unit camp via Fort Humphreys, Va.; Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, ~ Wilderness and Manasas, for 15 days, probably in September. They will work terrain exercises, covering an engineer regi- ment of & division in combat; laying out a defensive postion, repairing bridges and providing communica- tions. Orders have been issued by the War Department authorizing Maj. R. E. B. McKenney, 320th Infantry, president of the Reserve Officers’ Association of the District of Columbia, to proceed to the Command and General Staft School, Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for a three-month course of instruction, beginning March 15.

James B. Golden, F. A, who has just reported for duty as assistant to Col. John Scott, directing head of the Organized Reserve headquarters in the District, assigned to the Nation's Capital re- serve forces. He Is an efficient officer and one of the most popular in the service. Commissioned in Jume, 1917, as & second lleutenant of Infantry, he served during the war with the 2d and 3d Divislons as lieutenant and captain of Infantry. Capt. Golden served with the 3d Division during the Summer of 1918, participgted in stemming the German advance at Chateau Thierry, and he also was present with the same division in the defense of the Marne. In the of- fensive north of Chateau Thierry on July 27, 1918, he was wounded in ac- tion, the signing of the armistice pre- venting his return to combat duty. He is a graduate of the company officers’ class at the Infantry School in 1931, and during this year he was transferred to the Fleld Aritllery. He is also a graduate of the battery commander's course at the Field Ar- tillery School, Fort Sill, in 1923, and since his graduation he has been on duty as commanding Battery D, 6th Field Artillery, Fort Hoyle, Md. With the approval given this week by the War Department for the coat- of-arms for the 320th Infantry, ten- tative plans are being discussed by officers of the regiment for the hold- ing of a ceremony, probably on the Ellipse, at which the colors of not only the 320th Infantry, but the 313th Field Artillery, will’ be presented. The former regiment is entitled to four battle pennants, as follows: Picardy, Meuse-Argonne, St. Mihiel and Lorraine; while the latter or- ganization is entitled to the Meuse- Argonne battle streamer. Details of the presentation ceremony are being formulated, and it is hoped by mem- bers of the two regiments that it can be held in the early Spring. Organization of the 320th Infantry was made at Camp Lee, Va.. during 1917, as a unit of the 80th Division, with which this regiment served overseas in the Somme offensive, the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne opera- tions, and in the Picardy and Lor- raine sectors. he field, azure and ‘some-de-lys, taken from the coat-of-arms of the province of Artois (Pas de Calals), where the regiment received its bap- tism of fire, and where, when occupy- ing the front line, a detachment re- pulsed a German raiding party of greatly superior numbers, the two survivors of the attack receiving the British military cross for exceptional herolsm in battle. The chevron rompu represents the regiment in the Meuse-Argonne of- fensive, September 26-30, 1918; Octo- ber 4, 1918, and especially November 1-2, 1918, when, as part of the 80th Division, it broke the German lines (Sector St. George's-St. Juvin, De- partment of Ardennes), which en- abled the division to advance 24 kilo- meters in six days and capture the town of Buzancy, which was the key point of the German position. The two bars gules are taken from the Washington coat-of-arms, which indicates the home station of the regiment.

Brooks, ir., Who ie on duty in the office of the chief of ord- nance. The 343d Band will hold its regular weekly practice February 11. Interest is being manifested in this musical or- ganization of the 343d Engineers of which Lieut. John W. Davis, 343d En- gineers, is in charge. It is considered the reserve band of Washington, and with the progress it has been making recently will soon be on a parity with the Army, Navy and Marine Corpe bands. It is being planned to take the band with the regiment when the Sum- mer maneuvers are held on the Civil War battlefields. Officers of the 320th Infantry will meet in the Graham Building February 12. Maj. Henry C. Turner, 320th Infan- try; Capt. Maurice R. Colbert, 314th Infantry, and Lieut. Hyter C. Ruggles, 320th Infantry, will address the meet- ing on “Machine Guns.” Col. Scott will give a resume of the lectures. The lec- tures will be vividly illustrated by mov- ing pictures of the machine gun and other military weapons. In the afternoon of February 13 mem- bers of the C. M. T. C. Club will meet in the Graham Building. Membership of the club is growing rapidly, and greater interest is being taken in this organiza- tion. The meeting is called for 4:45 p.m. Maj. Harbold will glve instruc- tion on “Military Hygiene.” The 80th Division camp, it - -was made public this week, will be held at Camp Meade, from June 23 to July 7.

C.) and the 313th Field Artillery (Dis- trict of Columbla and Maryland)— took thelr training at Camp Meade, but this year the second half of the divislan—l.e., the 317th Infantry, 318th Infantry and the 314th Field Artil- lery (all Virginia regiments), and also the 305th Engineers—will go to camp. The 317th Regiment of In- fantry will go to Fort Eustis, Va., while the other regiments will take their Instruction at Camp Meade. Officers who have had 15 days' ac- tive service in this fiscal year—that is, 1925—and who %o to camp this year must bear their own expens up to and including June 30. They can stay from July 1 to July 12 on a full-pay status. Those who have not had any active service during this fiscal year will draw full pay for the entire period, June 23 to July 7.

PARIS, February 7.—The negotia- tions between France and Germany for a commerclal accord, which be- gan more than four months ago, are today just where they started. The Germans have brought back the ques- tion to the starting point agaln by demanding & guarantee that in ex- change for a modus vivend! they will, after the passage of the new French tariff blil, enjoy the benefits of the minimum tariff on all German prod- ucts. This {s their final condition for allowing certain kinds of Alsatian products to enter Germany free of duty temporarily. The members of the French dele- gation said today they were con- vinced that the Germans were maneuvering to force the French to take the initiative in a rupture, but that there was no chance the maneuver would succeed because the French had no interest In provoking a rupture, and would continue to hold themselves ready to negotiate so long as the Germans found it agreeable to remain in Paris. They were deter- mined, however, to resist to the end the German demand for assurances that they would have the best end of the deal when the new French tariff was enacted. The negotiations will be confined for a few days to personal conver- sation, the plenary meetings having been adjourned until some time next week.

Several school children, engaged in the city-wide search instituted by his owner, Charles G. Warden of 3214 S street, found Sammy's fluffy body, lifeless, beneath t snow in the Naval Obrervatory valley, a bullet hole through his side. All the public schools of Wash- ington learned of Sammy’s disap- pearance through an illustrated poster distributed by Mr. Warden.
