Tells Columbia Heights
Advantages of Unification of Trade
Organizations.
The merger of the three big trade bodies as a means of
securing through united effort things of import to the residents
of Washington, was urged by Justice Frederick L. Siddons, of
the District Supreme Court, in an address before the Columbia
Heights Citizens' Association at the Arcade last night " 'For-
ward
Waahlngton'," he declared,
means a united Washington."
Justice Siudons said that there are
no essential differences In the con
stitutions of the Board of Trade, the
Chamber of Commerce, and the Retail
Merchants Assocttion. The three
organizations," he said, "are striving
toward the same end. Many business
and professional men belong to all
three. The result Is a duplication of
expense and effort.

Closer unity among the citizens' as
sociations also was advocated by Jus
tice Siddons.
"When I was made Commissioner of
the District of Columbia." he said,
"one of the first things I did was to
ascertain the number of citizens' as
soclatlons and the membership of
each. I found that there were at that
time thirty-eight and that the boun

Referring to the movements that
have been started for a change In

tice Siddons said that suffrage never
will be secured In the District unless
I It Includes woman suffrage. "I am

merits of the half and half plan" he
said, "but If the residents of the
District expect to be given the fran

Sending Submarine to Destruction.

armed merchantman and a Teuton submarine, the merchant
man sank the submarine, according to official advices to the
State Department today.
The submarine, flying no flag, fired thirty-five shots and
the steamer twenty-five. According to State Department re
ports, the last shot pierced the U-boat, which reared out-of the
water, stern up, standing upright for a few seconds, then dis-
U. S. IS SCOFFED AT

Papers Try to Fool People os
America's Importance.
Newspapers and officials of the Im
perial German government are eon
spiring: to fool the German psople Into
the belief that America Is not a seri
ous military factor In the war.
This was manifested todar In cable
dispatches sent to German newspaper!
from New York to the effect that Sec
retary of War Baker has admitted the
American people are loath to flrht.
The skillfully manipulated German
preaa preaents the astonlshlnfr phe
nomenon of 'a complete vacuum as far
aa real American news Is concerned,
says a Stockholm, dispatch to the New
Tork, World.
Aa typical of what is belnr fed to
the German people by a rovernment -
subsidised press, a feature story an -
peered in a recent issue of the "Vos-
slsche Zeltunr. which purports to be
a telegraphic dispatch from London.

The Wake Up America campaign
characterized is "significant of the
feeling In America that one helped
with the personal co-operation of
Wilson is unable to make the country
realize It Is at war."
This quaint dispatch which, tragl
comlcally will be taken at its face
value by millions of honest Germans
who. as I know them, are eager to
know the facta, and, of course, be
lieve they are retting them, reports
further that "the result of the vol

one. Only 120,000 men had volun
teered for both, the array and navy
up to April 1."
This unknown specialist on Amer
ica adds the explanation that "it
must be borne In mind that the
greater part of these volunteers
come of good middle class families
and from academic circles." intimating
that the cream has been
already
aklmmed.
"The war hymn, 'My Eyes Have
Seen the Glory of the Coming of the
Lord," no longer seduces, and after
the departure of the English and
French missions, views of leading
military circles, which oppose not
only sending untrained men but even
strong expeditionary corps, are gain
lng the upper hand."
