WASHINGTON NEWS IN BRIEF.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 21. Secretary of the Navy Daniels admitted in an interview today that he divided the navy into two equal fleets, with the approval of the president, without consultation of the general board of the navy, the highest authority on strategy. The secretary said that in doing so he had not violated the principle of naval unity enunciated by Admiral Mahan and sustained by the general board ten years ago, when it refused to approve division of the naval force into Atlantic and Pacific fleets. —o— Democrats of the senate are in open revolt against the unyielding attitude of the president and Senator Hitchcock on peace treaty reservations and a democratic conference had to adjourn today because it could not agree on a policy to 'be followed relating to reservations. Some of the democrats are trying to induce Hitchcock to admit that there must be some reservations. —o—- • Action on the bill for the deportation of alien slackers who withdrew first citizenship papers to evade the draft was urged by Representative Kelly, of Pennsylvania, as not in conflict with treaties with neutral nations relative to exemption from military, service. was agreed that this class of aliens had renounced their allegiance to their native lands. With only two negative votes the house passed the budget bill recommended by the special committee of which Representative, Good, of lowa, chairman bf the appropriations committee, was head. It provides for a bureau of budget in the off ice of the president and an independent audit. - - :

VAUDEVILLE ARTISTS PLEASE PRINCESS PATRONS.

———— —-—AManager Robertson, of the Princess theatre, was forced to hang out the S. IR. 0. sign last night, a capacity house being the rule throughout the evening. Manager Robertson had provided an especial attraction for his patrons in the way of a vaudeville performance in addition to the regular pictures. The H. R. White company, presenting all of the latest song hits, sent the patrons home in a good humor and Manager Robertson has promised the company a return booking in the near future. Elsie Ferguson was at- her best in the “Eyes of the Soul,” and the quality of the pictures being 'booked by the Princess management assures it of liberal patronage by the general public.

WITNESS TELLS OF ARMY CAMP IMMORALITIES.

London, Oct. 21.—Resuming her testimony® today before a house of lords committee which is. conducting an inquiry into her dismissal as commandant of the women’s royal air force, the Right Honorable Violet Douglas-Hennant, daughter of Baron Penrhyn, declared that the South Carlton camp in Lincolnshire, where Americans were stationed, was among those where immorality existed -- , The women’s royal air force huts, Miss Hennant declared, middle of the camp. The women here were surrounded by Americans. On one occasion, she added, the women’s huts were raided during the night, a drunken American officer climbing through a window arid “creating a terrible disturbance.” A former army officer, of Wheeling, W. Va., who had been placed in the “hard boiled” class by his men, received a telegram telling him to meet a certain train. When the train came in a discharged doughboy hopped off. “I’ve been waiting a year for this chance,” he exclaimed, as he proceeded to beat up theofficer. AfterihfliCtinghispunishment the soldier caught the train as it pulled out. ~

HOSPITAL TRAIN HERE THURSDAY

EXHIBIT TO STIMULATE RECRUITING TO BE IN CITY FOR FIVE DAYS. The hospital truck train from Camp Grant, Hl., will arrive here some time Thursday and will remain for four or five days. . This train departed from Camp Grant, 111., on ■September 10 for a tour of central Indiana and Illinois on an educational mission. The object of the train is to better acquaint the people of the country with the army and Ihe work of the medical department in particular, for which branch the convoy is now accepting recruits for_the one year enlistment period. The members of the party camp with the train, carrying rations, tentage, field range, and in fact portray the work and life of a medical unit under actual field conditions. The transportation consists of one Dodge touring car, one Ford ambulance and four large three-ton Liberty trucks. The large Liberty ambulance and small parts trailer is of special type which was used in France and has a larger wheel-base than is ordinarily used and will accommodate four litter of eight sitting cases. The unique feature of this ambulance is the faet that upon the removal of a fcwjbolts the entire machine knocks down and can be packed in one box for shipment In this manner about 56,000 machines were shipped to France during the late war. The spare parts trailer attached to the ambulance is a novelty and attracts considerable attention. It is arranged to carry the spare parts for twelve cars if necessary while the ambulance train is operating in the field. The exhibits carried by the train are very .interesting and the public is cordially invited to inspect the camp at all times. They include among other things one three-bed ward tent with all modern equipment, and necessary supplies, fracture bed, boards, hospital splints, and dressings, X-ray, dental and portable operating units. The train will remain in this city a few days for exhibitions and recruiting work, both here arid in the neighboring towns. A recent order from the war department permitting men without previous service to enlist in the medical or quartermaster departments for the period of one year has produced such good results that a number of men enlisted in these branches are asking to be assigned to the Camp Hospital at Camp Grant. For this reason, orders authorizing the sending of this convoy were issued dispatching the medical train overland through central Indiana and Illinois for the period of eight weeks. Men between the ages of 18 and 40, who are qualified physically, have an opportunity to enlist for the period of one year and will be sent directly to Camp Grant, 111., where they will serve the entire enlistment period at the camp hospital. Parents of the young men will know = JS§F~where = "they will be year of service, and three

10-day furloughs will be allowed during the year for them to visit their homes. The hospital at this camp has served over 40,000 patients, and is one of the most complete and up-to-date institutions in this country, covering 46 acres of ground bordering the Rock river at the upper edge of the camp. It was in the laboratory of this hospital that many of the recent government statistics were compiled regarding the “flu” epidemic. The sixty wards are complete and modern and compare with any well regulated civilian hospital. The camp is 85 miles northwest from Chicago and seven miles south from Rockford, a thriving city of 90,000. Daily or week-end visits are permitted in both, busses running from the hospital to Rockford each evening without cost to the men, thus making the camp a most desirable assignment. Several recent recruits enlisted in the towns where the train has been located were sent to the camp, equipped with all necessary effects and returned to the convoy for experience as new soldiers in the field work. These men will remain with the train until it returns to the camp next month when they will enter upon their regular course of study. «

The army in peace time is in reality a military academy where men must spend from three to five hours daily in actual study in the various branches of the vocational training schools, thus ■fitting themselves for good positions at the end of their enlistment period. They may choose most any branch of service as clerks, ’phone operators, electricians, linemen, cooks, and bakers, mess management, nursing, laboratory and practical X-ray assistants, salesmen or demonstrators, motor repairers or drivers. Officers and men are on duty at the office and exhibit tents to explain and demonstrate -to the visiting public. v Victory buttons may be obtained at the recruiting officers’ tent upon application and presentation of discharge papers for date and signature -- ■_ T. 7 .TT,'

"THE END OF THE ROAD" NOT TO BE SHOWN HERE.

Adverse criticism and a strong wave of public sentiment against the showing of "The End of the Road,” booked for the Star theatre Friday evening, have caused Manager Allen to cancel the picture and in its stead will be shown a seven-reel thriller, the title of which will be announced later. Manager Allen only recently purchased the Star and was not responsible for the booking of "The End of the Road,” as the picture had been contracted for before he took over the theatre. He has been put to much expense and trouble In advertising the picture and Upon learning that there was such a wave of sentiment against its being presented here, gladly cancelled the picture, and asks the support of the theatre-going public in the stand he has taken. The picture is said to 'be one of the most shocking ever produced on the screen by those who have seen it, and at the present time plans for a nation-wide campaign against its being shown are being formulated. Its startling revelation of sex facts has’ caused the ministers and public officials throughout the country to take a stand against it, and the Republican only yesterday was in receipt of a letter from Senator Negley, of Lake county, asking that everything possible be done towards preventing the showing of the picture.
