Waste in Man Power and Fuel
in Nonessential Operation
Subject of Inquiry.
Investigation to determine whether
man power and materials are being
wasted In non-essential jitney opera
tion In the United States_ Is being
made by the bureau of standards and
the fuel administration.
Some Interesting light on this sub
ject has been afforded the government
by the war board of the American
Electric Railway Association as the
result of a questionnaire sent by the
board to about 1,000 street railway
companies throughout the country.
Returns from the questionnaire, it is
stated, show tfiat there are 6,381 non
essential jitneys, employing 8,500 men,
now in operation.
855 in Essential Service.
The board's report shows 855 jitneys
performing essential service, that is,
meeting the demands of territories not
served by street railway lines. Most
of the so-called essential jitneys
operate to camps and cantonments.
Camp Grant, for example, having its
transportation needs met by?360 jit
neys.
The fuel administration's interest in
the matter is concerned with gasoline
consumption. According to the figures
given it by the war board, jitneys that
are performing non-essential service
or covering territory which street
railway lines are prepared to serve
consume approximately 15,000,000 gal
lons of gasoline a year.
The bureau of - standards is interested
in the conservation of labor and mate
rials, and for this reason has started
an investigation to determine to what
extent there is duplication of service in
jitney operation.
The office of the provost marshal gen
eral also has been investigating what
saving of man power could be effected
through the elimination of non-essential
labor of this character.
Affected by Natural Causes.
Jitneys have been dealt a hard blow
by natural causes, the report to the
government shows. Before the war
there were something like 20,000 of them
in operation.
W. V. Hill, assistant manager of the
railway war board who sent out the
questionnaire for information?as to the
jitney situation,' ascribes their decline
to the increased demand for labor which
has enabled th% Jitney driver to obtain
a wage in excess of what he could earn
in the jitney business; the requiremehts
of the draft, the Increased cost of opera
tion and various regulatory enactments
by states and cities in some sections of
the country.
MR. SlESfflYS
ALL ARE FOR WAR
Declares Republican Majority
in Congress Would Not Re
tard President.
NEW YORK. October 30.?Charles
E. Hughes addressed the Union
Iieagmo Club last night In regard to
President "Wilson's appeal for the
election of a democratic Congress. He
scoffed at the suggestion that the
election of a republican majority in
either or both houses of Congress
would involve a reflection on the
President and a repudiation of his
leadership. Mr. Hughes said, in part:
Party Should Not Limit.
"It is said that the return of a re
publican majority to either house of
Congress would be interpreted as a
repudiation of the leadership of the
President. I think that from a na
tional standpoint the suggestion is
most unfortunate. If the President
stood before the nations of the world
only as a party leader his influence
would bo slight Indeed. His Just in
fluence is based on the extent to which
he faithfully represents the senti
tjnent of this nation, regardless of
party. Ha. will not bo the effective
spokesman of tike nation, save as
thwugh consultation and deliberation
with those representing- the important
thought of the nation he can be said
to express a strongly preponderating
if not unanimous sentiment.
"But how Is the sentiment of the
country to find expression if we do
not send to the nation's assembly
those who represent our opinion? How
is the nation's will to be truly voiced
if voters do not express their honest
convictions?
"No! There Is a better way. We are
all for the war. We are unanimous
in our earnest desire to drive through
to complete victory. Let us have free
expression, let us send our repre
sentatives to Congress, let there be
fair and open discussion and free con
sultation and then we can trust the
future. With the country almost
equally divided between two parties,
the freest expression and choice of
representatives should be welcomed.
No Season to Misunderstand.
"But it la said that a return of a re
publican majority will be misunder
stood abroad. By whom? By the Ger
mans? They know that the republican
leaders are intent on complete victory.
By tbe allies? They have no reason
to doubt that their interests would
be safe in republican councils. No?
we shall not be misunderstood.' We
shall support, the President as the
President, not as the President of a
party, not as the President of half
the nation, but as the President of
the entire nation as he acts according
to the genius of our institutions^ and
we shall save him from the lesser
dignity and influence of mere party
leadership."
MONEY ORDERS IN PALESTINE
Payments Are Now Possible in Any

The postal administration of Great
Britain is prepared to effect payment
of money orders to civilians residing

Post Office Department announces.
The service will not* be'available for
remittance to troops in Palestine, but

Applications of Intending remitters
for money orders to Finland must be

Succumbs in France?Physician at
St, Elizabeth Hospital Here for
Fifteen Years. '
CAPT. ALFRED GLASCOCK.
Word' has Just been received In this
oity by his sister, Mrs. O. G. Moore of
1011 H street northwest, of the
death In France, October 10, of her
brother, Capt. Alfred Glascock, Medi
cal Corps. Death was due to pneu
monia. The word came In a letter
from Maj. Oertel, a fellow member of
Base Hospital No. 86 and a fellow
graduate of George Washington Uni
versity.
Aa soon as war was declared Capt.
Glascock, who was then senior as
sistant physician at St. Elizabeth's
Hospital, this city, made several ef
forts to get into active service, but
was retained at St. Elizabeth's on ac
count of his experience in mental dis
easea In the spring of this year he
finally resigned to be free to join the
Army. He was commissioned captain
last May and went to Camp Hancock,
Georgia, as special examiner in psy
chiatry. A little later he was selected
as one of a staff of a base hospital
for overseas ? duty and sailed . about
September 1. He went to a base hos
pital in the Interior of France and
while there developed pneumonia.
A Hative of Virginia. ?
Capt. Glascock was the son of Capt.
Alfred Glascock of Fauquier county, Va.'
He was born In Leesburg, Va., in 1881.
He grew up In Washington and was
educated at the Episcopal High School,
near Alexandria, and at George Wash
ington University, graduating in 19>02 in
the medical department of that institu
tion.
He became connected at St. Elizabeth
Hospital shortly afterward and served
there for fifteen years in the capacity
of interne and junior and senior as
sistant physician.
He is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Orra G. Moore of this city and Mrs.
D. L. Grayson of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
and a brother, Fadely Glascock, in Colo
rado.
Comrade Pays Him Tribute.
Following Is an ? extract from Maj.
Certel's letter to his sister, Mrs. Moore:
"His illness was of only a few days'
duration and he suffered very little and
went to his death with a smile, as a
gentleman should. I cannot but couple
bim with those lines of Kipling:
"Who had done his work and held his
peace and had no fear to die."
"It was in the afternoon. The day
had been a glorious one, with just the
hint of frost in the air. The tall L,om
bardy poplars are tinged with yel
low and here and there the woods
mellowed by the first touch of au
tumn. As we marched to the crest
of the hill where he lies, first through
the camp and then along the streets
of the little village of I was
rather more impressed with the beau
ty of it all tharn by any sense of pain
or grief. As the ambulance with the
flag-draped casket came by them sol
diers stood at salute; even the French
peasants took off their caps and siood
with bowed heads or, if they had been
soldiers at some time, saluted, while
the little children, with their rosy
cheeks, stopped their play and gazed
with wondering eyes at a mystery
quite beyond them as it is to us, aad
crossed themselves devoutly.
Then came the final words of pray
er, the filing salute and taps, and
here another hero was laid to teat in
the soQ of France, for which so many
have paid the great price."

Military Party Reports "Threaten
ed" Bolshevik Uprising in Germany
The German military party is put
ting out a story that a bolshevik up
rising Is threatened in Germany, ac
cording to reports reaching the State
Department from Switzerland. '
These reports are being circulated
In Switzerland and Holland by Ger
man asents and newspapers.
The evident intention of the reports,
it is believed here, is to persuade the
allies not to make too drastic terms
with Germany in the peace settle

CHICAGO IN BAD SHAPE
Five Members of Maroons in Hos
pital as Besnlt of Bough '
Gridiron Battle.
CHICAGO, October 30.?Five- mem
bers of the University of Chicago foot
ball team are in the hospital today
as the result of a rough game yester
day- with the Loyola Academy eleven.
Chicago won, I to 0, with one touch
down.
The most seriously injured of the
Chicago players was Alonxo Stagg, Jr,
son of Coach A. A. Stagg, whose col
larbone was broken. ?
The loss of players by the Maroons,
it is said, leaves the. team in bad
shape for games scheduled for the
early part of NovemWer, particularly
the one wlilch may yet be arranged
with Purdue next Saturday.-. The
Northwestern University team also
has been seriously crippled through
the loss of players, one having broken
his collarbone in practice and five
others having gone into military
service.
Among those who have entered the
service is George Geiss, star punter,
who has been recommended for, the
Artillery Officers' Training . School at
Camp Zachary Taylor, Ky.
The Illtnois-Iowa foot ball game
scheduled to b.e played at Urbana next
Saturday has been transferred to
Iowa City oh account of the influenza
epidemic in Illinois.

"ATTA BOY" NOW READY
FOR SHOWING AT POLI'S
Musical Melange for Benefit of
Camp Meigs Welfare Fond to
Bun All Next Week.
"Atta Boy," a musical melange, with
a cast of from 150 to 200 men pre
paring for overseas service at Camp
Meigs, is practically ready for pres
entation at Foli's Theater all next
week.
Unique throughout because of the
newness of ideas as furnished by Co
han, Ziegfeld, Dillingham, Albee and
many. other big producers, the ve
hicle promises to set a mark in that
direction for Washington.
For the last seven weeks rehearsals
have been held. The task of holding
the company together because of the
-requisitioning of men for overseas
service has been a gigantic one and
resulted in much extra work by the
directors. However, the announce
ment is made that the company will
be whipped into excellent shape for
the opening show, and it will remain
intact at least until after the week's
performance.
Only the circumstances of war have
made possible the staging of this
unique production. The cast Includes
a number of old footlight fSvorites,
and the aggregation of talent is said
to surpass in quality any which has
before appeared in a Washington
theater. The performances will go
toward the Camp Meigs welfare fund
and the men are determined to give
patrons more than their money's
worth in theatricals. The worthiness
of the object will be ' heeded by
theatergoers and the bill will be well
worth the price.
The bill includes everything from
show girls to kitchen police. A min
strel show will open the performance.
Special song hits and musical num
bers galore are on the program. Lieut.
Ballard Macdonald is author of the
lyrics and Nat Osborne composer of
the music. Melodies will include
"Strolling Bound the Camp With
Mary," "Magio Byesf and "On a. Little
Farm In Normandy."

TO BE LENGTHENED
Teams Are Listing Games for
First and Second Weeks
in December.
Foot ball schedules among the col- '
leges In all sections are likely to
run Into December. Many institu
tions already have listed contests for
the first Saturday in that month and '
others have games tor both the first [
and second weeks. If the season '
looked as if it would be extraordi
narily short because of a late be
ginning, it seems that the .colleges
are going to make every possible ef
fort to lengthen it by stretching the
schedules beyond the usual ending
time, which in previous' years has
been on Thanksgiving day.
Probably the most important. post
season -game talked about so far Is
thstt between Georgia Tech and Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. These teams
are planning to get together at Phila
delphia on the first Saturday in De
cember. Penn has never shunned ,
hard opponents and is anxious to j
get back at the Georgians for the J
walloping received at Atlanta a year
ago. Besides that game, it looks 1
very much as if the college S. A. T. .
C. elevens will be playing games as |
long as the weather is such that out
door athletics can be indulged in. At j
least that will be the case if efforts 1
on the part of managers to arrange
games bear fruit.
University of Pennsylvania fcas bo
many foot ball teams on the string
for games in November that It is
having' difficulty getting its schedule
straigthened out. It seems probable
that the Cornell game will be played
either on Thanksgiving day or the day
following. Dartniputh is booked for
November 9 as one of the other big
contests. ,
Ingram, captain and star halfback
of the Navy eleven, reported on the
foot ball field this week, after an
illness which it was thought would
keep him out of the line-up for the
remainder of the year.

Maryland State has listed a. foot ball
game for this week with, the Virginia
Military Institute at Lexington. The
State eleven -probaJ?ly will leave here
Friday night, which will place it in
Iiexington in plenty of time for the
"contest, though there will be very lit
tle time for the men to rest before
the game. The game has been settled
upon by both institutions with the
exception of details about which there
should not be much trouble.
Baltimore newspapers seem to ?be
making quite a stir about a foot ball'
game between St. John's and Mary
land State on Thanksgiving day, now
that Hopkins is going to get back in
the field with a team. Hopkins can
celed its schedule early in September,
but recently announced It would play.
Now Baltimore newspapers want
Hopkins and State to resume their
annual struggle On Thanksgiving day,
with St- John's figuring some time be
fore that in a game with Hopkins.
Change In the time by "turning the
docks back is having its effect on
foot ball teams. Class schedules are
running until 4:30, and by the time
foot ball squads get on the field It is
so dark' that they can hardly get much
practice. Lack of practice is going
to prevent the development of any
thing near as good elevens as have
normally been turned out by the col
leges prior to this fall. Especially

Then came Dunboyn'a victory In the
Futurity and the subsequent agitation

had a. decision over Eternal to his
credit Eternal has proved himself a
great horse, but he is not the champion
any more than Hourless was the cham
pion three-year-old last year after beat
ing Omar Khayyam in their second
match. '
