II Congress this winter does what il
has given every indication that it intends
to do it will appropriate $4,000 for the
building in the Capital Of a National
Monument to the memory of the loyal
women of the civil war" a structure
which will be more than a monument, for
il will house the national administrators
of the American Red Cross in a fitting
and convenient place. And if Congress
does this, it will have acted in large part
because of the continued earnest efforts
of Miss Mabel Boardman, member Of the
central committee OF this organization.
Miss Bourdman'S Statement.
In the city Of Washington there have
been expended by the government nearly
the government has made no appropria-
ton for any monument to women" Miss
Boardman said recently. THE majority
of the monuments erected to men in
Washington have been TO men who have
been made famous because of war. 1t
has been said that women are the great
est victims of war; theirs are the sorrows
and sufferings without the glory.
Tt remained for the Commandery of
the State of New York Military Order of
| the Loyal Legion of the United States to
propose some memorial to the loyal wom-
en- of the civil war. The desire of this
| commandery was to make a memorial
| that would be something more than a
mere monument-something that would
perpetuate the spirit of the women it
commemorated. For this reason the COM
mandery proposed to the American Red
Cross that such a monument take the
form of a beautiful building to provide
for perpetuity for the headquarters Of
the Red Cross. To express recognition of
| the government an appropriation from
Congress OF 900 was asked for to be
available when the commandery should
have raised the $4,000 which it promised
| to contribute. The Committee on the Lii
brary of the Senate, to which the bill was
| first submitted, unanimously approved
It and raised the governments contribu-
| ton to $4,000. The Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee of the House has also
unanimously approved the bill with the
Senate amendment for the increase of
the government appropriation, and there
is every prospect that in the coming ses-
sion Of Congress the House will speedily
pass the bill"

clerical force. On the landing Of the

One of the pastors Of the church said
of the Lincoln seat: Il had rather sit in

It is emphasized by Miss Boardman
that the maintenance Of the proposed

pense to the government, although the
Red Cross. to all intents and purposes,
is a governmental institution. The pub
lie has little idea" Miss Boardman he $
stated. "as to how our governmental de-
partments turn to the Red Cross. The
State Department is constantly turning
to US. This department only lately has
asked US to sent TO different consuls in
Mexico and the Ambassador at Mexico
City $500 to bring Americans home who
have been forced away from their occu-
pations in the country by the troubles
there, and who have no means with
which TO return to the United States,
and We have done this from our small
funds on hand. Senator Root has said
that the return of the indemnity and the
work the Red Cross did for the famine
relief had done more to change the atti-
tude of the Chinese people than any
thing else Over $500 900 was sent that
year for the famine victims. In fact,
Senator Root said not long ago that he

the letter reads:
