And if the in- cumbent president general were un- opposed, she would remain in office only until such time as a new na- | tional leader and cabinet could be | found. Sought to Remove Obstacle. Faced with this statute, leaders of the Daughters of the American Re lution everywhere appealed to M Cook to permit them to petition the board of governors to present a reso- lution at the forth coming Continental | Congress amending the constitution so | that she could legally succeed herself for another full term. ections were not due until the latter part of the congress, so that an amendment passed early would have circumvented the obstacle. | Mrs. Cook, however, was obdurate. She accepted the complinient the re- quest carried and explained that she was not seeking to shirk the duties of president general for a second term. She added, however, that such a ncve would set a precedent -hich might prove embarrassing in the future. Since the constitution provides that such amendmeiit would have to be submitted 60 days before the congress was to meet, it is now too late to make the change. Other Officers Not Named. Something almost unprecedented in the history of the Daughters of the American Revolution followed, how- ever. Not a single candidate an- nounced herself for the office of presi- dent general and the stage apparently was all set for Mrs. Cook to succeed herself for lack of an opporent ntil the early part of this week. hen Mrs. Charles White Nash, State re- gent of New Yorl announced her candidacy. Although Mrs. Nash did not follow the time-honored custom of announc- ing at the same time the ticket that would run with her—that is, the names of all nadonal officers who ordinarily are elected with the presi- dent general and constitute somewhat of a cabinet—it now is necessary for a new ticket to be brought into the field, and the chance of Mrs. Cook remaining in office has been thorough- ly_obliterated. It is generally believed that an “ad- ministration ticket” will enter the contest, and it probably will be an- shortly before the Con- tinental Congress meets here on April 9 Heretofore, however, that par- lar part of the atmosphere that nvades D. A. R. precincts has usually been heavily syrcharged with vigorous campaigning at a time so close to the Continental Congress that is to select a new national ticket. New Building Planned. The need for this *“administration ticket” arises, it is understood, over the plans that are now going steadily ahead for the erection of the new au- ditorium the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution are to build in the rear of their present home, Memorial Con- tinental Hall. Mrs. Cook has been one of the guiding spirtis in that work, and the need for her assistance is carry- ing it to completion is mentioned everywhere in D. A. R. circles, Among others mentioned to enter the race is Mrs. George Wallace W. Han- gar of this city, who was defeated by Mrs. Cook at _the last election three years ago. Mrs. Hangar has an- nounced, however, that she positively would notbea candidate this time, and it is believed the final choice will pi mai | ments regarding their During World War. historical v De Information of great value has been furnished the W partment by the American Ba Monuments Commission. of which Gen. John J. Pershing is chairman, including the accurate determi of the boundaries of battlefield the daily front lines of every United States unit engaged in the World War. Maps have been prepared showing the daily changes jn the company or platoon when operating separately. These maps and monographs are being mailed to all former officers down to company commanders and to other especially selected officers and non-commissioned officers who ere in command of American units, with the request that they be studied and checked for errors. Each officer is asked to support any suggested change by coples of orders or other official data in his personal possession. This method of obtaining informa- tion is proving very effective, andal- ready much valuabie information has been recelved. The majority of offi- xcept those attached to head . have never had a chance to comment on the accuracy of reports and battle fhaps covering the opera- tion of their unit. The commission feels that these officers should be .| given an opportunity to comment on historical state- units so that their remarks may form part of the ‘nistorical record in the files and be- fore these statements are permanent- Iy recorded in the form of a monu- ment or an inscription on a monu- ment. the accuracy of all ATTACKS ISLAND EXHIBITS Filipino Wants Christian Aspects Shown in U.

While the District police have set out to establish a new record in 1926 for the number of arrests, Washing- ton will not be alone in this respect, according to Edwin B. Hesse, major and superintendent of police, who ex- plained last night that reports from other cities where traffic regulations | are being enforced rigidly indicate that | the police blotters ure getting longer | and longer.

Hesse. “Natur- ally, arrests are increasing.” The fact that approximately one- fifth of the numerical population of the Distriot will have been arrested at the close of the current calendar if the police continue their pr fast pace, Maj. Hesse pointed out, does | not indicate that Washington is a crime-ridden city. On the trary, said, felonies are on the decrease.
