The o rose, recently selected by the Com- ion. the official flower of Washington, was discussed by mem- hers of the Association of Oldest In- habitants of the District of Columbia, meetin; at Union gine House, Nineteenth and H streets, last night. The discourse began when John Clagett Proctor recited an original poem in which he exalted the humble dandelion. One of the lines of the poem referred to the “foreign birth of the American beau rose. This pted John B. McCarthy to ex- press the belief that the official flower was of foreign origin. Bancroft, the historian, had them in his vard on H street & good many .

Recognizes Task Calls for Relentless and Well Planned Blows. By Consolidated Press. Back from a tour along the battle lines, the nef fleld marshal and ad- miral of the prohibition forces waited today for reports from the fresh of- fensive against the demon rum and all his cohorts. The business of belng an edmiral is a new one to the fleld marshal, for he is a graduate of West Point and his training technically h: been along strictly military lines. However, he has specialized in leader- ship—in the philosophy of leadership, one might sav—and he believes his theorfes and principles will apply on the sea with an effectiveness equal to that on land. The field marshal's greatest task, it is admitted by all, is in keeping his soldiers and sailors “straight.” Many of them have “‘gone bad"” in the past. As a matter of fact a score or more are in the calaboose today for too intimacy with the booze hounds, who are ever ready to bribe and corrupt. The rewards offered for dishonesty by the rum runners are out of all proportion to the Govern- ment pay of the men who man the Government boats, and, therefore, it is nece: to enlist, or to attempt crews who are not so much interested In the pay as a year or two after dili-1of adventure at sea. Andrews Student of Men. Brig. Gen. Lincoln Clark Andrews, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in charge of prohibition agents, the rd, is an officer who has de- voted much of his life to the study of men and morale. He is a disciplinarian. But he has never discipline, Gen. Andrews has felt that once the right men were made to understand the necessity and value of discipline, the task of keeping them disciplined and up to the highest mark of effi- description of the long |clency would be an easy one. He has| proved this to be the case. He was as- sistant to Gen. H. H. Bandholtz in charge of the military police in Paris after the armistice, and if ever a job called for tact, discipline and diplo macy, that one did. The boys from down on the farm were a pretty wild lot once they had seen ‘‘Paree,” but Gen.

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, who s no great bellever in the theory of a national prohibition law, but who Is determined to enforce every pro- lon of the law which comes under his department, decided ome time ago that to make the prohibition units ef- fective they must be brought into c ordination and agreement under a single head.

He is a graduate of that in- stitution, and had 30 years’ service in the Army. He voluntarily retired after the conclusion of the peace fol- | lowing the World War, and had en- joyed something like four or five years of civil life when Secretary Mellon drafted him for the job of prohibition field marshal. The prohibition forces are sald today to be on the eve of a great offensive, the first under the new commander-in-chief. There have been wild “alarums” of this character before, but the rum fleet has con- tinued business at the old stand. This time the threat comes of “annihila- tion.” The commander-in-chief is ot doing the talking, however. He is {almost as taciturn as the big com. | mander-in-chief of all the Army and I the Navy and the prumbition forces— President Coolidge Inspected Equipment. Like évery good commander-in chief, Gen.

He used the old naval destroyer Porter for his flagship, and saw the “enemy” lying in wait, an hour's steam from the shore. Gen. Andrews hopes to be on the “firing_line” himself some time cur- ing the coming battle. Only he doesn't want to be called general in bis present job. Or admiral, either.
