stated to-day that Germany had not
furnished or offered TO furnish 10 the

TO become known that the text of the
Presidents address to the Senate was
forwarded TO American diplomatic rep

that would require responses from for

Early press comment from Europe
was viewed ny the administration with
the utmost interest, and that Of the
French papers. particularly, was III
general more appreciattvc and sympa-

English press comment was disappoint-

there had been an undue criticism OF
President Wilson himself. instead of a
serious study Of his address.

Treasurer,

The regular weekly meeting Of tho
board Of the Retreat for the Sick was
held in the hospital at IL o'clock yes
terday morning. Miss Norwood presid-
ing! The meeting from tho beginning
TO the closing was full Of interest. One
reason for tho interest manifested was
the report of the prompt payments Of
the pledges which were made in March
for the building fund. Tho immediate
need for the new hospital in order to
accommodate the many patients who
apply Is urgent. Tho hospital is taxed
to Its utmost capacity at all times.
Beds for free patients arc always oc-
cupied. and no worthy patient is turned
away. except for lack Of space-a con-
dillon which can be eliminated only by
the building OF the new hospital. with
space for more than double the num-
Der. of beds. Tho building committee
reported that sufiicient amount for
tho beginning OF the hospital was al
ready in hand. and not only did they
make the statement. but they showed
the figures. which proved the state
ment
Mrs. John B. Lightfoot said that she
had been "a member Of the board since
1882, from a point Of activity the old est
member. and that the past year. from
every point of view. had been more sue
cessful than any previous year"
