SOCIETY FIRMLY STANDS
FOR U.S.P PREPAREDNESS
Founders and Patriots of America
Also Would Honor Clara
Barton.

The unanimous passage OF resolu-
tion putting the organization on rec
ord as unreservedly favoring national
preparedness, and the emphasis of its
determination to accomplish the plac-
ing of the name of Clara Barton as a
memorial to her as founder of the Red
Cross somewhere in its new building
were the features of the general court
of the National Society of Founders
and Patriots of America held today at
the Raleigh.
1t was brought out in one of the re-
ports submitted that the petition of the
society to this effect could not be
granted because of a ruling that no
names whatever were to be displayed
in the new structure going up here but
that nevertheless the names of the
present executive committee are promi-
nently displayed on the cornerstone. 1t
is planned to push the dea of the proper
recognition of Miss Barton in similar
manner and to enlist the aid of other
patriotic societies in this project.
I'VE should at this time appreciate
more than ever before our splendid in
heritance and should labor for peace.
said Mrs. Thomas *. Noble, national
vice president, who presided, in well
coming the delegates to the general
court. which happens to be also the
eighteenth birthday of the society
The report of the executive com
mittee told of a constant, steady in
crease in the number of chapters. with
California, Colorado and, ii is hoped
Vermont, soon to be enrolled. Reports
of officers, standing committees and OF
chapters occupied the morning session
which concluded with luncheon. Busi-
ness was resumed later in the after
noon, with the election of new officers
to serve the organization for the en-
suing two years.
The objects of the organization are
to teach regard for historical names
and deeds of heroism: to inculcate
patriotism; to commemorate events in
the history of the colonies and repub-
lie and. in times of war. to obtain and
forward supplies for field hospitals.
Eligibility for membership is founded
on descent from patriotic ancestry in
unbroken line through both colonial
times and the revolution. Ancestors
of members must have settled in the
colonies between 1907 and 1887. and
their direct descendants must have as
sisted in the gaining of independence.

WASHINGTON MAY GET
1920 OLYMPIC GAMES
Likely to Be Held Here if Athletic
Stadium Is Built in East
Potomac Park.

No definite conclusion has been
reached in the appropriations COM
mittee of the House regarding the pro-
posal to place an athletic stadium in
east Potomac Park, but widespread in
terest has been created in the hint left
with the committee members that the
1920 Olympic games might be held in
Washington if a proper field is pre-
pared for the event. The hearing of
yesterday afternoon. attended by men
who are recognized the world over as
representative Of American amateur
sport. will be the subject of a confer
ence of the members of the House sub
committee now engaged in building
the civil sundry appropriation bill.
Chairman Fitzgerald is understood
to be personally in favor of the sta
dium plan. His interest dates back for
ten years when the plans for a stadium
here were first started. The present
drawings and figures presented by Col.
Harts, in charge of public buildings
and grounds. are the result of the work
of the past decade. and Representative
Hubert of New York has incorporated
the idea in his bill. which has been
useful in focusing attention on the
necessity for quick action.

Take Up Matter. by Degrees.

We cannot place an item of a mil
lion an half in the sundry civil bill
for this stadium" said Chairman Fitz-
gerald today. for it would be kicked
out of the bill Immediately. However
We can take up the matter by degrees.
and eventually work it out to finish.
1t is believed the subcommittee Will
axe up the stadium matter when it
rea ches the Potomac Park items of the
bill. The committee has first to con-
slider the times for beginning actual
work the connecting parkway be-
tween Potomac Park and Rock Creek
Park. All the necessary papers now
are in the hands of the subcommittee.
Present indications are that If anything
is to be done in the way of stadium,
the sundry civil bill will carry an item
providing for survey or plans, or
something of a similar initiatory char
acter.
One of the interesting suggestions
made at the hearing was that the
Army-Navy game always would be held
in Washington if the stadium were
built here. E. J. Wendall of New York,
a member of the American Olympic
games committee, told the committee
that if adequate stadium is pro-
vided here there is a strong proba bill
ity the next series of worldwide ath-
letic contests would be staged in this
city. The 1915 games. which were to
be held in Berlin, have been Cancelled.
