It will stop all wars hereafter. During the morning scores of re- quests were received, personally, by the Congressman and hig secretary for tickets of admission tomorrow to hear President Wilson give his an- nual address. As only two tickets are allowed each Congressman, many had to be turned down. “Why, 1 come from your district. I am sure that no one else is here,” one lady sald. ““Oh,” replied the secretary, ‘‘there’s A v SUUUATE NURSE She Recommends Lydia Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. . / Chicago, 1. —*I ‘was in poor health for two years, caused by adisplacement, durin x months of this time was er a doc- tor’s care withort =] Lydia E.

And there’s many others.” Men and women from other states, not being able to secure the tickets from the Representative from their district, drifted in hoping against hope that they would be able to get a “peek at Mr. Wilson.” But the chances of their getting the “peek” are slim. So slim, that Lieut. Thomay Kenny of the Capitol Police will have several assistants to keep the crowd back from the entrance to the House Side of the Capitol, where the jam will be the largest. “Oh, dear,” sobbed a young mar- 11ed couple, “we tried to get into the Treasury building, but couldn’t. Can’t ycu fix it?” And nothing can be Qone. Nor could this happy young couple on thelr honeymoon, the rappy, golden hours fleelng swiftly in their supreme confidence and love for one another, were not the only ones to be saddened. The Govern- ment Print.Shop, the Bureau of En- graving and Printing, and several oths er government buildings are closed to the public. Yet, they all go to the Congressmen to see if they cannot possibly get some sort of a permit to enter. Tomorrow will be a big day, when 1he President speaks.. Of course, many will be able to get fnto the Capitol and hear the chief executive 1alk, even though they do not have a ticket. They know the cops. And, better still, the cops know them. Or perhaps they know the elevator man. That's just as good. A good cigar, a sly wink, and whisko, up you go to the House gallery, where the elevator ‘man tips the wink, and you are shoved inside. Maybe, however, a seat in an aicle is all that is left, but what of that. Inside is the thing, and inside you are. You can tell the folks back home all about it when you return. And it's worth telling, too, particu- larly at the opening of this Congress. Nearly all of last session's secre- tarles are back. Some of them daid not return. But Frank Gorman, whom ing. Most of the married fellows slayed at home to be near their wife and children, particularly those from the western states who came here for the experience, and a chance to 89 to Georgetown Law school, which is open only nights. Some of the secretarles, single, from the western and southern states did nct return. But Frank Gorman; who Speaker Clark brought here, 1s still with us. You couldn’'t keep Frank sway with a Gatling gun. Neither could you keep Orrin Stanford, who, e it known, comes from Louisville, T, not Ky. away from the Fourth floor of the House Office Building. He is secretary to Congressman T. S. ‘Willlams, the man who made the Loulsville district famous by his say- ‘ngs. What? Quite naturally, many Connecticut men and women who live in Wash- | 1agton called upon the Connecticut representatives today. Pete Mul- viney, the old standby from D street N. E., called upon his friends once more. Pete s always there with the | slad hand. Young fellows at Fort .Myer and at the Radio station at ArHngton also pald their respects. Also some college vouths paid their respects. That's all they did pay, though. “It's a great life if you don't weak- B as Harold Hodgsett, another sec- retary said. There were many that missed Congress Hall. and other places. No more mint juleps down at Fosbender’s on Ninth street, at Pat Callahan’s on Third street, nor gin bucks down on the Avenue. It was a dry, thirsty bunch that meandered toward home last night, after drinking in the motion pictures o hecause there wasn’t anything else to drink. BOY RETURNED T0 MRS, DESAULLES Touching Scene at Remnion of Freed Woman and Son New York, Dec. 8.—John Longer | DeSaulles, Jr., was returned yesterday to his mother to stay. Chafles A. H. DeSaulles, a brother of John L. DeSaulles, the slain man, and other relatives decided at & family confer- ence to surrender the child in view of the verdict of acquittal returned by the jury at the trial of Mrs Blanca DeSaulles which ended Saturday night. The return of the Child was a sur- prise to its mother., At the requést of Mrs. DeBaulle’s lawyer, she had con- sented to pose for photographers in her home, “The Crossways,’” at Ros- lyn, L. I, and her picture was being taken when an automobile drove up An front of her home. She had just been talking about her son and said: “Can’'t you men do something to help me get him back?” She had hardly spoken when she saw her son getting out of the ma- chine, accompanied by her lawyer, Henry A. Uterhart. Mrs. DeSaulles ran to the door and her boy was in her arms in a minute. Mr. Uterhart had telephoned in the morning regarding the boy to George Gordon Battle, counsel for the family. Mr. Battle replied that Charles A. H. DeSaulles and members of the Heck- scher family, cousins of the slain man, would hold a conference with their legél advisers later in the day and de- cide upon their course. Mother’s Boy Forever. At 1:30 o’clock, Mr. Battle said that it had been decided to let the motifer have the child. Mr. Uterhart went in a machine to the residence of G. Mau- Tice Heckscher, and the child was al- lowed to leave the house at 2:30. When he boy was with his mother later in the day he said that Mrs. Heckscher, in kissing him good-bye, said: “Good-bye forever.” Mr. Uterhart took the boy in his machine to the mother's country place at Roslyn without sending the news ahead, so the child’s return was a surprise. The boy, who will be five vears old on Christmas Day, is plump and sturdy and large for his age. He was dressed in a sailor's costume, Mrs. DeSaulles had been so hardened by the trial that she did not notice the strangers present when she met her child. The boy did not at first, but after a few embraces he looked some- what surprised at the spectators and said: “What's the trouble, mother?” He used the word *“mother” when the conversation was of a business na- ture, but called her by the nickname of “Bumby” when he was playing with her or embracing her. Mrs. De Saulles told the child that they were never to be separated again, and he said he was very glad. He added that he would rather be with her than anything in the world. Mrs. De Saulles thought a second, and sald that she would rather be with him than envthing in “the universe.” “What is the universe?” asked boy. The explanation of this raised many questions, which continued to multiply for some time. The photog- raphers finally got Mrs. DeSaulles to pose with her son. When this ordeal was over John's aunt, Miss Amalia Errazuris, called him to have a cup of chocolate. A few minutes later he shouted from the dining room to his mother for another cup. As the first cup was a small one, he was allowed to have another. One of the first questions raised was where Mrs. Dedaulles intended to live in the future, and the boy was consulted on this. He said that he wanted to go to Chile, where he had first learned to ride horseback on a horse called Tokio. This reminded him that he had two riding crops at the Crossways, and he called for them. He suggested California as his sec- ond choice of a place to live. Will Remain in U. S. Mrs. DeSaulles said, however, thgt she intended to stay in this country, and would live for the present at the Crossways. She further asserted, con- trary to what had been said of her, that she liked this country and liked Americans. ‘“‘American courts are splendid,” she said. Mrs. DeSaulles, who has had most of the newspapers supplied to her in her room in the Nassau County jail, said that she had read accounts of the trial with interest, and had liked them all with the exception of an article by a woman short-story writer, who had sald that the plight of Mrs. DeSaulles was the more pitiful be- cause she had never read a book and was short of intellectual resources, which might have kept her from brooding over the trial. Mrs. De Saulles saild this was not true, and added that it was ‘“not nice”—her unvarying formula of condemnation. When Mrs. DeSaulles was asked how she had managed to preserve throughout the trial the mask of calm and indifference which had been the marvel of all who saw her, she replied “I schooled myself to it be- the forehand. I knew that psychologists and every one else would be watch- ing me, and I steeled myself to hold my expression. It was very hard, but one can do what one has to do.” She said that the most difficult part of the trial for her was when she en- tered the court room each day, as she knew every eye in the court room was fixed on her. She declared that she had not been inattentive, as some had thought, to what was going on in court, but she had seen everything that was going on. Saw Juror Wink. Mrs. DeSaulles was asked what she considered the climax of the trial, and replied:- “The verdict, of course.” Asked if she had seen Juror 5 an- nounce the verdict to her with a wink as he took his seat in the jury box, before the verdict had been asked by the clerk, she answered: *Of course, I did. I would not have missed that for anything.” She asserted that she felt certain | BISHOP HAYES IS | GENERAL CHAPLAIN Pope Benedict has announced the appointment of Bishop Patrick J. Hayes, auxiliary bishop of New York, as general chaplain of the Catholic priests in the United States army and navy. the verdict would be in her favor, but the first knowledge of it was conveyed to her by the wink. Mrs. De Saulles sald she was vexed Wwhen she learned that her son had been told all about the case, what she had done, why she was on trial, and why she was held a prisoner. “I think it was a shame to fill his little head with all this,” she said. “He has. been told to repeat it over and over, so that he could not possibly forget it. - He told me that he would beg to be told that it was not true.” The boy was still wearing yester- day the sheriff's badge which had been given to him on his visits to the Mineola jall, where he was known as the sheriff. Mrs. De Saulles was asked if she intended to take any steps to re- cover from the DeSaulles estate any of the money alleged to be due her from property bought by DeSaulles with her money. “I would not touch a penny of it under any circumstances,” she said. “And I need money. I may have to 80 to work.” Mrs. DeSaulles denied that she had cried after the appeal to the jury by Mr. Uterhart. \ “Do you think I would go through what I did at the trial and then cry over myself?” she said Mrs. DeSaulles said she thought District Attorney Weeks had ‘not been very nice,” in spite of her coun- sel's praise for his ‘“gentlemanly” conduct of the trial. Mrs. DeSaulles feels secure in the possession of her son. The. possibil- ity of legal action is anticipated if she should try to take the child to Chile, because of the position taken by American courts against allowing an American boy to lose his nation- ality. But Mrs. DeSaulles was em- phatic in asserting that she had no intention of taking the boy to Chile, and that she intended to bring him up an American. WITH OUR NAVY Officers Who Have Been in Trenches Assigned to Teach New Units Tac- tics of Warfare. With the American Army in France, Sunday, Dec. 2 (By the Associated Press).—A number of officers, who were attached to the first battalions to enter the trenches, have been transferred to the newly arrived units of former National Guardsmen, where they will direct the work of getting the new troops ready for the front line. Later, men of the first unit to establish contact with the en- emy also may be temporarily trans- ferred to assist the officers. This con- forms with the announced plan of Gen. Pershing. Reports from all divisional head- quarters indicate that the training is progressing most rapidly.

RECORD BUDGET | BEFORE CONGRESS (Contlnued From First Page). bution of disease the public health service asks $35,000. An increased estimate of $250,000 for studies in rural santation is submitted. The exhibit showing the great sums the government spends each year for rented bulldings in Washington |is especially interesting because of the great number of public bulldings taken for war activities. The rents paid by the different departments total $1,069,594. For the military academy akotal of | $5,718,254 is sought. Pay in Navy $312,220,551, Secretary Danlels’ estimates for the Navy show that the store of guns and ammunition is rapidly being gathered and that estimates have been reduced in many particulars under appropria- tions received last year. The chief increase is in pay, the total being $312,229,6651. Naval aviation calls for $94,000,000, an increase of more than $30,000,000; for arming naval vessels and ;mer- chant ships, $38,809,623 i8 asked; the torpedo item is reduced from $12,- 291,280 to $1,000,000; reserve ord- nance supplies from $81,417,000 to $33,000,000. A new item is $2,000,000 for the construction of a naval station in the Virgin Islands, recently taken over by the United States, and another $1,000,000 is asked for extension of facilities for proving ordnance. In both these items new language 1is proposed which will authorize the president to take immediate posses- sion of any land or appurtenances ne- cessary, and which cannot be pur- chased within the appropriations, at prices to be determined by him as just. Should that price not be sat- istactory to the owner 76 per cent. of the sum determined would be patd over at once with authority granted to sue the United States for additional payment. Under the ordnance appropriations for the navy new language is inserted to make the items available in supply- ing guns, ammunition and reserve ordance stores for vessels authorized under the three year program, in- dicating the department’s intention to press for the completion of that program which has been held up by war needs for destroyers and mer- chant craft. Under the heading of public works the navy department asks appropria- tions for stations including Ports- mouth, N. H., $489.000; Boston, $75,- 000: New York, $1,600,000; Philadel- phia $2,400,000: Washington, $40,000; Norfolk, Va., $3,450,000; Naval acad- emy $2,275,000; Mare Island, Cal, $1,200,000; naval magazine, Bingham, Mass., $30,000; Torpedo station, Newport, $250,000; additional torpeda and ordnance stations, (new) $250,000; training station, Newport, $110,000. Personnel of Staff Officers. The estimates call for staff officérs as follows: General staff 347, adjutant generals department 281, inspector general 246, engineers 400, ordnance 2,000 quartermaster 8,300, medical 14,000, judge advocate general 300; signal corps, (including aviation) 11, 941. ‘With three large staff increases and foreign service pay increases totalling nearly $80,000,000 also estimated for, it appears clear that the total in- crease in the pay item of $159,394,- 568 does not cover any material ex- tension of the original military pro- gram of an army of 1,600,000 men. Fortification estimates take second place with a total of $3,332,445,122. or an increase of $1,155,102,874 over last year. The navy is third with total estimates of $1,039,860,602, a de- creased $662,977,357. The naval fig- ures probably do not include, how- ever, new ships that will be asked for whenever building facilities are avail- able. Striking items in Secretary Baker's estimates are $51,116,000 for addi- tional civil employes at the war de- partment, $2,000,000 for the military information of the general staff. $224,336,000 for army transportation and supplies an increase of $24,000,- 000 mostly for clothing and camp equipment; $28,766,991 for the pur- chase of cavalry and artillery horses, a decrease of $37,865,000 and showing restrictions placed upon us of ani- mals for the army in France due te transportation difficulties; $167,111,. 894 for the medical department, to include $17,000,000 for new motor am- bulances and $111,000,000 for medi- cal and hospital supplies, also $24,- 000,000 for veterinarian supplies, the total being an increase of $26,331,894; $136,000,000 for engineer equipment for troops, which includes the gas and flame devices, star rockets, hand grenades and signal lights of all kinds; $892,000,000 for engineer operations in the fleld an increase of $600,000,- 000 and covering bridge, railway and road building and operating equip- ment; $390,000,000 for ammunition, an increase of $176,000,000; $98,400,- 000 for ordnance repairs, which cov- ers the expenses of operating the great base arsenal in France; $237,- 144,000 for the purchase of machine guns; $76,660,000 for armored cars. An item of $500,000 is included for temporary extension of naval prison facilities. Under maintenance among the ad- ditional items for yards and men- tioned are Coasters Harbor Island, R.

Sen- ator Sheppard’s proposed constitution- al amendment, whose submission was approved August 1 by the senate 66 to 20, will be pressed in the house, while both bodies will be urged to approve submission of the so-called Susan B.

Important general legislation pend- ing because of its exclusion from the last special war session are the Webb bill permitting exporters to combine in forelgn trade, which has twice passed the house and is the senate's unfinished business; the Shields wa- terpower development bill; the Walsh- Pittman oil and coal land leasing measure, and the Colombian treaty, proposing payment of $265,000,000 to Colombia.
