PTER1LLS
OF SEA FIGHT
Describes Naval Engagement
Between 'Gen.' Armstrong
and British Squadron.
CAPT. REED IS PRAISED
American Pnnteer Thought to Hare
Prevented Re-enforceButs from
Ruchiag New Orkuu.
Rear Admiral Colby M. Chester last
night told the story of what be regarded
as one of the most glorious events in the
annals of the American navy. The fight
of the American prhateer. Gen. Arm
strong, commanded by Samuel Chester
Reed, the last naval engagement of the
war of 1SI2, was the subject of the ad
miral's remarks at the regular meeting
of the District of Columbia Society of the
Sons of the American Revolution at
Rauscher's.
Although little of this wonderful naval
engagement in the harbor of Faal, off
the Azores, is generally known, tbe in
domitable spirit of the gallant command
er and his little crew in the face 'of terri
ble odds made Gen. Jackson's victory at
New Orleans Dosslble, said the admiral.
The UttlaAmerican privateer delayed the
attacking British squadron, with Its 2.000
re-enforcements for New Orleans, until
iuo iaie.
Admiral Chester said that the engage
ment between the American privateer,
with Its complement of some ninety men.
and the attacking British squadron of
jour sioops-or-war. carrying 1.000 men
to am .British operations against New
Orleans, was the most brilliant naval dul
of our history. Capt Reed fought his
little band In defense of the Gen Arm-
strong until literally crushed by the su
perior force of the enemy. He then or
dered his ship scuttled, and, although In
a neutral harbor, found It necessary to
shut himself and command In an old
castle on the island in order to defend
the liberty of himself and men. Admiral
Chester closed with the expressed wish
that the story of this brilliant sea fight
might be more often told to tho chil
dren of the country.
Col. Gilbert C. Kniffen. president of
the society, presided for the first time
since his election at last night's meet
ing. Several musical numbers preceded
Rear Admiral Chester's address. At the
conclusion of the meeting a buffet lunch
con was served.

These Pimples
Are a Fright
There's No Excuse for Blotches, Blade-
heads and Pimples. The Right Way
to Get Rid of Them Is by Taking
Stuart's Calcium Wafers.
Many people are continually . using
lotions and creams on the face and
nondering why they make so little Im

Protectors of Country's Resources Are
Favorable to Washington as
Convention City.
Washington probably will be the meet
ing place of the National Conservation
Congress. This was stated last night
when members of the executive commit
tee had ended a visit to the White House
and had conferences with Thomas Grant.
Granville M. Hunt, and J. F. Slaven.
representing the Washington Chamber of
Commerce, who showed the sltors the
advantages Washington has for enter
taining contentions.
Members of the executive committee of
the National Conservatron Congress
called on President TMlson to tell him
that this organization Is strictly non
political, and that It has no candidates
for office. They assured Mr. Wilson that
they had no .axes to gnnd, other than
to Insist upon the conservation of the
natural resources of the country. It was
pointed out that the congress has no
wish to "build a fence around" the coun
try's resources, and that a reasonable
and wise conservation Is all that It ad
vocates. The delegation was assured of
a friendly reception by the numerous1 ut
terances on conservation made by Pres
ident Wilson in the campaign.

WHITTAKER TELLS OF PROGRESS
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the "First Lady
of the Land," entered the ranks of the
social workers In the Capital yesterday
by Joining the woman welfare depart
ment of the National Civic Federation.
Mrs. Wlbjon had been! giving close at
tention to a lecture by Supt Whlttaker.
of the workhouse at .Occoquan, Va at
tne x. M. u. A., ana wnen tne aaarnis
was over Indicated to Mrs. Archibald
Hopkins her desire to become a member.
She paid her dues In'advanca. Mrs. Wil
son Is much Interested in the class of
work carried on by the woman's welfare
department In Princeton and Trenton,
and the local organisation expects that
she and probably her daughters also will
take an active part In District civic
work
Mrs. Wilson arrived In the White
House car, and was received by W. O.
Hlltabldle. house secretary of the Y. M.
C A. She was accompanied by Wss
Hagner. her social secretary.
Supt' Whlttaker yesterday, by means
of the stereoptlcon, took his audience
through the workhouse, ad showed how
the work of caring for Xhe District's
unfortunates has progressed during the
last three years at Occoquan. He said it
Is very desirable to obtain an Indetermi
nate sentence for prisoners atOccoquan.
By this method, he added, better work
could be done In reforming the prisoners
by keeping them there under congenial
employment until they were able to stand
alone. Then the Institution would help
to find employment for them and restore
their lost social position.
Mrs. Hopkins asked Mr. Whlttaker to
present tbe matter in writing, and prom
ised him It would receive earnest con
sideration. Another question which, he said, should
be taken up by the women and In which
they could do great good was the mat
ter of nonsupport cases. He declared
he believed that there were some men
sent to him for nonsupport who really
should not be there. In some cases,
he continued, the woman often wants to
make affidavit against the roan to get
rid of him.

old foreign policies being overturned at

Huntington Wilson is now Acting Sec

rather uncomfortable position. At Mr.
Brian's request, Mr. Wilson canceled
his bookings to sail for Europe on March

DHJGHTFUL COMtDY
THOROUGHLY ENJOYED
"Ho Rirali," at A iliico, Taltw
AsmVmco lack ta Ta
OUw Day.
Not In many years has so delightful a
performance of Sheridan' fin old
comedy, "The Rivals," been enjoyed by
Washington theatergoers as that pre
sented by Annie Russell's Old English
Comedy Company at the Belasco Thea
ter last night. We, have to hark back,
to the days of dear old Joe Jefferson .to
find adequate comparison, and even such
comparison leaves a large credit balance
In favor of Miss Russell's organisation.
The mental refinement of this sterling
actress has created for these old English
plays the atmosphere of the days of their
origjn; the audience Is placed In complete
rapport with the times, manners of
speech of a century and a half ago. This
Lydia Languish Is not simply a twentieth
century woman disguised In the costumes
of days long past: she Is In every essen
tial feature the romantic, mirthful, re
fined young gentlewoman whom our
Imagination conjures up beore our
mind's eye as we listen to the poet's lan
guage and see the scheme of the play
unfolded before us. In every detail.
Usually and spiritually. Miss Russell's
Lydia is a wonderfully attractive por
traiture. The Mrs. Malaprop of Ffolllot Paget la
a splendid Impersonation of this gro
tesque character, ranking with. the best
traditions 'of the American stage.
Equally so does the Bob Acres of George
Olddens make an Irresistible appeal to
every perception of what Is absurd. Mr.
Gtddens Invests the part with striking
Individuality. The representation estab
lishes still more firmly Mr. Olddens as
one of the finest comedians of his day.
Thomas F. Fallon Is unexcelled as the
blustering, roistering, mischief-making
Lucius O'Trigger, and Oswald Torke gave
us a fine impersonation of the dashing,
lovable Capt. Jack Absolute.
Fred W. Permaln Is a capital Sir An
thony Absolute, and Murray Ktnnell as
Faulkland, Harold Meltrer as Fag. Lit
tleday Power as David, Henrietta Good
wlnjis Julia, and Katherine Clarendon as
Lucy fill their respective assignments so
admirably as to contribute a considerable
share to the full enjoyment of so har
monious a performance.

FIFTT A DAY THE ESTIMATE
Preparations for spring are being made
upon a large scale at the District Pound,
for the work ot this branch of the Dis
trict government " has its greatest In
crease during tbe "silly season" ot the
year. With .the breaking ot spring and
the coming of the first balmy breezes,
cats are most wont to gather In courts.
allys and by-ways and sing their mourn
ful ditties to .the moon, much to tha
chagrin of the sleepy. Dogs get the
"wanderlust" in sprlpg and roam -4he
city streets without purpose or muzzle
in defiance of the city regulations.
Foundmaster Kuhn. though In sym
pathy with spring. Is making extensive
preparations.
To the average prosaic citizen, the cat.
who tunes its pipes on an outlying back
fence night after night In 'what the cat
considers beautiful spring-song. Is a men
ace to society and. therefore, the pound
master expects to receive fifty cats a
day when spring has really begun to get
In Its work.
Spring also makes the dogs eccentric.
It gets Into the blood ot the little yellow
mongrel who has hid long and well from
emissaries ot the poundmaster and ho
dances wild circles, barking, snapping
and making people think that he is mad.
Docile house dogs also go tearing aim
lessly through the streets, and, when the
night comes with one accord the dogs
Join their chorus to that of the cats and
burst forth In wonderful harmonies to
spring.
Foundmsster Kuhn Is making exten
slve preparations against the springtime,
and the face of many a dog and cat who
will sing this spring will be missed
from the summer councils of their
friends.
