D.C. GUARD BILL
TO BE SIGNED SOON
Today or Tomorrow Presi
dent Is Expected to Attach
Signature to Measure.
OVER 2,500 WILL ENLIST
*
President Wilson Is expected today
or tomorrow to sign the District of
Columbia National Guard bill, which
creates a new District guard in place
of the old District guard which is now
overseas.
Brig. Gen. Richard D. Simms, com
manding the District militia, is tak
ing steps to organize the first new
regiment, and it is probable that a
second regiment will follow the first.
There will be machine gun companies,
hospital corps, a separate colored bat
talion and a naval battalion. Already
more than 1.100 men have enrolled for
the new guard. Between 2.500 and
3.000 men will be enlisted.
Ages Can Be Fixed.
Men below and over the eighteen
forty-five ages can enlist in the new
guard, the legislation providing that
the ages of enlistment can be fixed
by the commanding general, subject
to the President's approval.
Service in the new guard is only in
the District of Columbia, and. in event
it is called into active service, only in
the adjacent states of Maryland and
Virginia, so that anybody in Wash
ington now enlisting in the new gCard
is assured that he will not be called
into the federal service, but will
serve only in the National Capital.
Men who wish to enlist under the
regular National Guard law; for six
years, can do so if they desire.
Men under the eighteen-year draft
age and over the forty-five-year draft
age can join, that is young men of
seventeen or men over forty-five can
i now give a limited military service in
' the new guard.
There will be drills one night a
week, but the armory, 472 L street,
i will be open, after Wednesday next.
I every night to members of the guard,
! where they can enjoy advantages of a
? good gymnasium, clubrooms and in
i door rifle range. The guard also has
I a fine open-air rifle range at Congress
Heights. Men within the eighteen
forty-flve draft ages can enlist in the
new guard and receive valuable pre
liminary military drill and instruc
tion. which will fit them for non
i commissioned officers and in some in
1 stances commissions when they are
i drafted into the National Army, the
Navy or Marine Corps. Such men
-| when they join the National Army, the
] Navy or the Marine Corps will re
; ceive an honorable discharge froth
the new District guard. This dis
charge, showing that they have re
' cetved military instruction, will be a
valuable asset to them in the regular
service.
Armory Is Kept Open.
Washington business men who, be
? cause of busiq^ss, family ties or age,
can give only a limited military serv
i ice to their country will now find the
opportunity open to them for such
' service. The armory is open every
night, where information concerning
the service can be obtained from of
ficers between 8 and 10 o'clock and
also during the daytime.
An appropriation of more than
$70,000 is available for the expenses
of the new guard during the next
fisaal year.
The citizens who obtained this leg
islation and the new guard for
Washington are well known. Gen.
Simms is a veteran of the war with
Spain, serving with the District
regiment in the Santiago campaign.
He has been an officer of the Na
tional Guard for more than twenty
live years, and is treasurer of the
Capital Traction Company. Lieut. Col.
E. Lester Jones is now in France
with the A. E. F. Before the war he
was chief of the coast and geodetic
survey. Capt. Winfleld Jones. a
? Spanish war veteran of the Porto
Rican campaign, and a former officer
of the National Guard, is a member
of the congressional press gallery.
i He is serving his third term as chair
' man of the National Guard commit
tee of the- Chamber of Commerce.
Gen. Simms Is expected soon to an
nounce the officers of the new
. guard. A number have already been
appointed.
BRITAIN IS INTERESTED
, IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS
!2fot Worried Over Possibility of
( Republicans Winning Cott
le trol of Congress.
By ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
Cablegram to The Emlas Star ant
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1818.
LONDON, November 2.?The British
.are greatly interested and puzzled
over the issues Involved in the Ameri
can election.
The Times Washington correspond
ent cables: "The people of Europe
(Should realize that the American con
duct of the war will In no way be
slackened if the republicans break the
(democratic majority in Congress," to
V^rhich the Globe replies: "We are in
no need of warnings against the in
terpretation of a republican victory
at the congressional election as a set
back to the allied cause."
Maxse expresses his keen apprecia
tion of Uoo8evelt's "splendid stirring
declaration" setting forth the republi
can war program. "There is no non
sense about Roosevelt, and we only
wish he was in our war cabinet or the
British war ministry.
"We understand neither Roosevelt
i?or any other republican is in favor
. of treating the fourteen points as a
law of the Medes and Persians, to be
forced down the throats of the Ameri
cans and the allies whether they like
/them or not."
This reflects on the view of most
? .Uritish tories who refuse to accept
?. ithe freedom Of the seas stipulation
fenless it is subject to a different inter
pretation from that ordinarily given,
ffhey ask whether the United States is
?ady to open the Monroe doctrine and
hether America realizes that under
le league of nations the Monroe doc
lne no longer stands.
In fairness, however. It Is necassary
Mo report that the majority of the Brit
ish favor some of the league of na
Hlsus schemes. This is nearly true of
^11 the labor, liberal, minority and
?conservative parties.
The fear of being offensive to the
^Americans has prevented the British
fcories from expressing their real view
?n many of the fourteen points.

# PROFITEERING EXPOSED AT O STREET MARKET.
Inspectors ol the District Food Administration recently found soma
of the dealers in the O street market charging prices in excess of those
given in the daily "fair price list." Some dealers were charging 60
cents per peck for potatoes when 50 cents was The top allowed by the
fair price list for that day. Some were observed asking 15 cents per
quart for onions, or a profit of 300 per oeat on their kntfwn cost. A few
were even charging 10 cents per pint basket for onions or a profit of
nearly 500 per cent. The inspectors told them to reduce their prices
at once ami gave each fair warning that on a second offense they would
be asked to appear before the District Food Administration. Vhe
farmer received not over $1.50 per 100-pound sack for his labor and
cost in producing these onions. These retailers were charging at the
rate of $6.50 to $91 per bag for selling them. Such figures speak for
themselves.
A close watch will be kept hereafter on the O^street market and
more contributions to the Red Cross fund may be forthcoming.
TAKE THIS, LIST TO MARKET WITH YOU. .
Consumers are urged to clip this market report from their paper
daily and take it to market with them. Whenever prices are charged

carry" retailers should sell near the lowest figure given. Unless other
wise stated, all prices are for products of good quality. ^

DISCONTENT NOW RIFE
AMONG HUN SOLDIERS
Eesent Being Misled by Govern
ment Regarding' Chances of
Peace in 1916.
AMSTERDAM, November 3 (by the
Associated Press).?The Cologne Ga
zette prints a message from Frank
fort. in which the sender says' he
found deep discontent among fur
loughed soldiers belonging to various
army groups from different points in
the fighting area. ,
The writer, who apparently is an
adherent of the old regime, says he
vainly endeavored to bring the men
to his viewpoint, but that he found
they were quite positive about the
government having misled the coun
try regarding the chances of peace in
J916.
"What surprised me most" he says,
"is their unanimity regarding this
point."
The Amsterdam Telegraaf corre
spondent on the frontier reports that
desperate efforts are being made to
conceal the true position of Germany
from the soldiers, but he adds they
are beginning to see the truth and are
refusing to believe what the officers
tell them. The correspondent thinks
not much can be done with men
whose only wish is to spend Christ
mas at home.
The Cologne Gazette prints a Berlin
dispatch saying that Dr. von Beth
mann Hollweg, former German chan
cellor, and Gottlieb von Jagow,
former foreign minister, have been
officially charged with the task of
classifying documents of July, 1914. It
is assumed from this fact, says the
dispatch, that the new government is
preparing- an official declaration on
the-events leading- to the outbreak of
the war.
The newspaper says that an official
statement on the discussions preced
ing the declaration of unrestricted
submarine warfare Is to be published
shortly.
