) £ THE SUNDA WASHINGTO SPEEDBOATS FLASHING TO VICTORY IN POTOMAC REGATTA - GONFER ONHOUSING 0 .. ACTIVITIES Efficiency Bureau and Com- missioner Dougherty Try to Solve Problem. Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Fed- eral Bureau of Efficiency, and several of his assistants, conferred for an hour and a half vesterday with Com- missioner Proctor L. Dougherty and proffered their aid in the solution of some problems confronting District authorities. The temporary rehousing of the District_activities to be forced out of the Pennsylvania avenue-Mall tri-; angle by the §50,000,000 public build- ings program, the removal of the In- dustrial Home School and the manu- facture and delivery of the 1928 auto- mobile identification tags were among the questions discussed, it was an- nounced following the conference. Assistance in Hunt. Mr. Brown is sald to have offered the services of his bureau in assist- ing the Commissoners to find tem- porary quarters for the House of De- tention, the Woman's Bureau of the police department and the medical clinic of the health department, the three agencies which are to be ousted soon from their present locations to make way for the new Department of Commerce building. An agreement has been reached between the Commissioners and the office of the supervising architect of the Treasury to permit the House of Detention to continue to ocupy the old Emergency Hospital building at Fifteenth street and Ohio avenue until Congress provides funds for the rental of temporary accommodations. The Woman's Bureau, also in this huilding, wili not be disturbed imme- diately, but the medical clinic of the Health Department will be forced out of the building it occupies by Oc- tober 1. While District officlals had virtually abandoned all hope of finding tempo- rary accommodations for these three bureaus in Federal Government build- ings, Mr. Brown said his bureau would undertake to locate them in such buildings, if space can possibly be found. It is his idea to save the District as much money in rentals as possible. Experts Study Preblem. Considerable study already has been made by the Efficiency Bureau ex- perts of the problem of relocating the Industrial Home School, and Mr. Brown thought that the data they have collected would be of material value to the Commissioners. Con- gress at its last session authorized the sale of the property and the con- struction of a new school elsewhere. ‘The question perplexing the Commi: sioners is whether to locate it within the borders of the District or in con- tiguous territory in either Maryland ARNPE T SR ) | pEERAY i i T2 TRAFFIC CASES, ONE NIGHT'S TOTAL Police Department Score Is 400 Since Campaign on Drivers Began Friday. Seventy-two arrests last night in the Police Department’s intensive drive on reckless drivers brought the total number of offenders, since the drive started Friday, up to nearly 400. Police Judge Hitt handled one of the heaviest dockets in many months, last night, as a result of the cam- paign. Fines collected yesterday totaled $1,031, and last night, $310. Most of the arrests were for minor infringements of the traffic regula- tions, but Antonlo Girardo, 124 F street, was fined $50 last night, on a charge that he had driven against a street car loading platform at Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue, oc- cupied at one end by several persons. Two offenders who pleaded that their absent mindedness was due in one case to his proposal of marriage having just beer accepted, and in the other case to aving been married Jjust yesterda; won dismissals from the court. George F. Darney, 631 Fourteenth street, haled into court for speeding, found himself in the clouds, he ex- plained, because his girl had just accepted him. Judge Hitt dismissed the case on the grounds that he was “not responsible.” C. W. Stanley was married yester- day and consequently neglected to halt at a boulevard stop sign. His explanation also was accepted. Of the 72 cases heard last night practically all resulted in convictions.

A scheme to erect a powerful wire- less station for the League of Nations and to construct a big alrdrome in order that rapid communication might be assured in time of war crisis was pushed also by the committee. By this means it was belleved that any nation could get in quick touch with Geneva even if the other countries of Burope had closed their frontiers and refused to handle radiograms through their national stations. Council Is Deadlocked. The council of the League of Nations stands deadlocked tonight after an all day session devoted to ironing out the Rumanian-Hungarian controversy arising from the applica- tion of Rumania's Agrarian legislation to property of Hungarian landowners in territories ceded to Rumania in 1919, The discussion became so acri- monlous and the tone of the speeches 80 harsh that at 7:45 this evening President Villegas of Chile moved an adjournment until Monday morning. The motion was carried. The position at the end of the first rounds are: Foreign Minister Titulesou of Ru- mania accepts the report of the coun- cil committee submitted by Sir Austen Chamberlain at the forenoon session. This report declared that the provi- sions-of the peace do not exclude ap- plication to Hungarian nationals of the general scheme of agrarian re. form in Rumania, that there must be no inequality between Hungarfans and Rumanians either in terms of the agrarian law or in the way in which it 18 to be enforced, and that the words “retention and liguidation” mentioned in the treaty of Trianonm relating only to territories ceded by Hungary apply solely to measures taken against the property of Hungarlans in-those terri- tories.

M. Titulescu at tonight's session re- proached Hungary with having argued on the mere basis of a money compensation before the mixed tri- bunal instituted to settle the claims of Hungary and now before the councll, taking a high and lofty moral viewpoint inconsistent with the pre- vious attitude.

I think it was the 5th Division that advanced over the hill now occupied by our cemetery. In our auto we rode to the little town of Cunel, the tops of whose houses are visible from the cemetery. Atwood's division was pur- suing the Germans in the direction of Cunel. Cunel suffered terribly. It has been rebuilt. “We passed through Cunel for some little distance. Then we took a crossroad to our right (southward) and passed shortly the Madeleine Farm, which you know about. Presently we came to a woods on our left, and Mr. Shields (an of- ficial of the graves’ registration serv- ice) pointed this out to me as the Ogons Woods. “I do not know what the Bois Ogons looked like nine years ago even from hearsay. But it is not today a forest with huge trees, but rather like what at home we should call a copse. It seems to cover, however, a good bit of ground. Mostly it is a thick growth of small trees and a tangle of weeds and thorn bushes. When we came near the southern edge the auto stopped and we alighted. We crossed a barb-wire fence that ran along the side of the road and penetrated the wood for about, I should judge, 100 feet. “There was a clrcular clearing about the width of a large sized room. Several small shell holes were to be seen overgrown with thick grass, and a larger shell hole with fresh earth! thrown back into it. Germans Buried Bodies. “This was where the seven bodies were found by Mr.' Stein (the man who has done such praiseworthy work in tracing down and recovering and identifying the remains of American soldiers). He and his men had been searching tirelessly in these woods. They found this place overgrown with | blackberry bushes. After clearing the Ibushes away they removed some of the earth and saw sufficient evidence that this had been used as a grave by the Germans, who repossessed the ground after the Americans had been forced to retire, “The seven bodies had been inter- red with care and with evident re- spect. As this was not a usual cir- cumstance, particularly in view of the intensity of the fighting, Mr. Stein the 79th Division which were recov- covered recently in a shell hole on the French battlefleld where they fell nine years ago, the steamship Scho- bach reached New York yesterday. Lieut. Sheehan’s body will be brought here tomorrow for burial the follow- ing day with military honors in Arlington Natlonal Cemetery. The remaining four bodies of the seven found in tho isolated shell hole after years of search are to be buried in France by the wishes of their rela- tives. With the body of Lieut. Shee- han are those of Irving S. Roffis of Brooklyn and Ellis Eskowitz of Balti- more, both privates. Men Kiiled in Actlon. The men were killed in action Sep- tember 29, 1918, near the Ferme de la Madeleine near the Bois des Ogons in the Muese-Argonne offensive. Of the seven, the final resting place of Pvt., Christopher Moran of Philadel- phia has not been definitely settled. Carrying out the wish expressed by Lieut. Sheehan when a trainee at Fort Myer at the outbreak of the war, his body will be buried on a xlopaof Arlington Cemetery. He made known this wish in event of his death to his mother, Mrs. Eudora Sheehan, before salling for France. Funeral services will be held in the Fort Myer chapel Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock followed by burial about 3 o'clock. Chaplain Lancaster of the 79th Division will conduct the re- liglous services. Many formser friends and war-time assoclates of Lieut. Sheehan are com- ing here for the funeral.

Mr. Shields picked up a piece of cloth that was once part of a blanket. Mr. Stein examined a piece of a shell which had exploded there. He said a larger section had been thrown back with the eéarth.

Isn’t it per- haps a consoling thought that he lay unmolested in the silence of the woods with the birds overhead and the wild flowers akout, shielded from the gaze of strangers who have gone up and down that road, by a tangle of vines and a curtain of leaves? It is just the sort of woods he would have liked to adventure in in times of peace.” The “Mr. Stein” whom Mr. Johnson gives the credit for the discovery of the bodies is a former service man, “was an attorney in Chicago before the war,” Mr. Johnson wrote. “Dur- ing the war he was gassed and one lung is seriously n¥ected. He has remained in Franc) since the war. His case has been taken up with the authorities and he has been promised hospital care if he will return to the States, but he has never received a pension.

LECION AUXILIRY THRILLED IN PARSS Visiting American Women Given Warm Reception by French of Capital. By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 17.—S8ix thou- sand American women, members of the Legion Auxillary, were in Paris tonight eager to show their gratitude to the French people for their kind- ness to American soldiers during the somber days of the World War. The women's ranks of the American Legion convention now are almost complete. Pleased at Welcome. “From the greeting we got at Cher- bourg we women know what kind of a reception our boys got during_ the could stop them.

The people of two nations watch over :I:Ic'nh ;,n :easeless solicitude and to e becomes a sym b symbol of mutual French Welcome Sincere. Never before has Paris been so pro- fusely decorated since the armistice celebration or the victory parade on the l4th of July, 1919. The enthus- iasm of the French people as a whole is really genuine, the only dis- cordant note coming from the Com- munist publications, but they are much less violent in tone than a few veeks ago at the height of the Sacco- Vanzetti demonstratfon. The house of the American na- tlom has been turned over to National Comdr. Savage and the .American flag has gone up on the Paris city hall to remain there for a week. A gold key inlaid with diamonds, a symbol of Welcome, was presented to Comdr. Savage by Gabriel Hanotaux, mem- ber of the French Academy and president qf the Comite France- Amerique. “You need no key to our heart Hanotaux sald. As Gen. Pershing, clasping the arm of his war-time comrade, Marshal Foch, entered the building several hundred persons burst into enthusiastic and spon- taneous cheering.. The attitude of Pershing and Foch toward one an. other both at the cemetery and at other functions is an evidence that they are the best of “buddies. As the cold rain fiitered through the flimsy cloth roof of the Legion headquarters which _ houses the travel department, the Salvation Army, the Knights of Columbus, the library and cable offices and the Red Cross first-aid station, cfforts were ‘|made to have things as homelike as possible for the hundreds of Legion- naires who had been driven rromslho Paris streets by the steady downpour.
