ASKS REASONS
FOR LIMIT ON
TROOPS' MAIL
/
Treadway Objects to Side
tracking Home Parcels
for Propaganda.
Another crusade to improve mail
service for American boys In France
was started yesterday. Representa
tive Allen T. Treadway, of Massa
chusetts, called on Acting Secretary
of War Crowell for reasons behind
the order of Gen. March restricting
shipments of packages to the soldiers.
At the same time he introduced a
resolution in the House calling on
Postmaster General Burleson for esti
mates on the comparative amounts of
mail sent to France by soldiers' fam
ilies and the Committee on Public In
formation. Treadway said:
Publicity Booklets Clog Malls.
"It is a well known fact that our
soldiers have received from the com
tnittee large quantities of the litera
ture issued by that department which
would not be of as much value to
the boys in the trenches as packages
from home. The mails have been
clogged by publicity booklets, in my i
opinion, much more than by the pack-1
ages relatives and friends have de- !
cided to send to the men.
"I consider that relatives and I
friends on this side should have thej
preference over the bureau main-1
tained to disseminate the propaganda'
of the activities of the administratis
and those close to it. I am unwilling
to accept this decision of the War De
partment as necessary, in view of the
nature of the publications that are
being sent to the men who are fight
ing on the other side.
- Boys Know Knough of War.
"Nothing can be more highly cher
ished by them than the touch of home
connections through the delicacies and
smokes sent them in packages from
the United States, whereas nothiing
could be of less and value and more
unwelcome, in my opinion, than the
continued shipment of unnecessary
literature of the Committee on Public
Information.
"I believe the boys over there know
enough about the war from personal
contact, without being obliged to read
circulars and booklets written by per
i sons who have not left the shores of
this country. I. for one. do' not in
tend to accept silently such discrim
ination as shown in this recent order,
both aaalnst the men and their fam
ilies."

RECMOFJUDGES
O'Donnell Tells Court He Prefers
Liberty Bonds to Fines.
If the (/ourt had fined you $100,
would you tell the presiding magis
trate that you believed In the re
call of Judges?
That is what Hugh O'Donnell did
?and from all accounts O'Donnell j
got away with it without a scratch.;
Last Friday O DonneU was arrest
ed on Connecticut avenue by Police
I man C. P. Powell, charged with I
I driving an auto while intoxicated.
O'Donnell was required to put up
'$100 collateral to guarantee his ap
I pearance In court The matter
dragged on for a few days. O'Don
nell making a few visits to Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Ringgold
to see if the matter could not be
' straightened out without his losing
the $100.
Upon being told, later, that the
charge was too serious to permit
any actions other than drastic.
O'Donnell came into court, pleaded
guilty, and paid $100 fine. But he
considered it perfectly proper to tell
the court Just how he felt about
the matter and he did so in a note
which he handed to Judge Mullow
ney. It reads:
"Good Morming Judge: *
"I would like to make a brief
statement in mr own behalf be
lieving that you have heard the
charges correctly. One story is good
until another is told not doubting
the testimony in the case which
caused such embarrassment to my
pocketbook, I think the collateral was
out of the question whilst detained
ed at the Third Precinct, I was ac
costed by a sweet officer, he told
me on demand that his name was
Hess. I do believe in the recall of
Judges when necessary, my appeal is
this?I would rather have Invested
the money in a liberty bond.

As a rule Tony Is a very polite man

But In some manner he flew off the

This customer had brought a pair
of shoes to Tony to be Axed.
A couple of days later she came
back for them.
She carried the shoes over to the
window to see what Tony had done
them- The light in the shop is
none too good.
Misunderstanding this movement.
Tony ran over and grabbed her by

He thought sure that the lady was
going to run oft without paying him.
And he was very much afraid of
losing a little money.
Not only did Tony lose a good cus

bargain.
The lady resented very much hav

hurt by an insinuation that she was
trying to cheat Tony.
And very much to Tony's surprise
the court sent him to Jail for ten

at the Postofllce Department that the

? Return from Study of Entertain

An American Port, March 29.?E. H.
i sot hern and Wtnthrop Ames were
? among the passengers who landed here
J today from an American liner, aftel*
spending over two months in the
American camps in France studying
the best methods of furnishing en
tertainment for the United States
troops. Their trip was made under
?Y. M. C. A. auspices.
"A meeting of the theatrical man
agers of New York City will be called
within a few days." said Mr. Sothern,
"at which will be presented 'a plan
prepared for their consideration.
"Diversion for the troops is aa much
a necessity as food and ammuniticn.
The men must have relaxation be
cause of the strain.
"The allies have what is called a
'theatrical factory.' composed of men
from the ranks who have the ability
to entertain their comrades. These
men are relieved from other duties."
The plan to be submitted to the the
atrical managers was not outlined, but
the reference to the allies' "theatrical
factory", ^?s understood to fore
shadow a recommendation of some
j similar plan. Mr. Sothern said he
{.talked the entertainment problem over

Jim waa arrested. The clock was

clock should.
It's forced association with Jim had
not affected it in the least.
Jim told the court that Annie owed
him a 70 cent piece, and he had to
do something to collect it.
But?the court reminded him?this
swiping business was not the way
in which to settle a debt.
He never thought of going to court
and getting judgment against her.
Because of his previous good record,
the court suspended a thirty-day sen
tence.

The boys who live around Navy

Bill Conway Invited his friends to
join him in a game in a quiet corner.
Everything went smoothly for a
while?and then a boy named Caldwell
began to lose heavily.
He up and cussed Bill. But Bill
said nothing and went ahead with
the game.
Some more cussing. Caldwell lunged
at Bill?and got the worst of it.
Then a general mixup followed. Ev
erybody was tghting.
Caldwell, peeved at getting licked,
was determined to get even. He told
hi8 sister Martha about the scrap.
Martha met Bill on the street the
same evening. She hollered murder
and got a cep.
Bill was arrested for putting a gun
in her face. He was fined $50?about
as much as he won in the game.
