OFFERS TO RAISE FUND
OF $25, 100000 FOR U. S.
Frederick Courtenay Barber Would
Undertake to Procure Money for
100 Army and Navy Hospitals.

To raise a fund of s25,00o.ooo for use
in establishing and maintaining army
and navy hospitals, Frederick Courte-
nay Barber of New York today oHereu
his services to the government. nc
said he would raise the fund without
a thought of any kind of compensa-
ton. He SAYS in his letter to Presl-
dent Wilson that he has helped to raise
in the last few years $15,0oo,ooo ior
.philanthropic purposes alone.
Twenty-Five million dollars, ne
says in his letter to the President, VIII
provide for the construction and equip
ment of 100 hospitals of 100 beds each.
The fund. therefore. will suffice for the
accommodation of 10000 patients at d
time on n peace footing. On a war
footing the combined capacity of the
100 hospitals can be increased to the
point of accommodating at least 2o,ooo
patients at a time.
You will note that I am allowing Il
quarter million dollars for each hos
pital. If the buildings were to be
constructed only for a few years use they
could be built at a much lower cost
But / respectfully suggest that II Is
better to provide for permanent build
ings, so that at the end of the war,
or whenever the governments need for
them may cease. the hospitals may be
turned over to the cities or towns in
which they are erected.
IF you accept my services | shall
take pleasure in visiting Washington,
whenever you desire, to tell you how

NO WINE FOR KING GEO-.GE.
Not Etiquette to Serve Liquor When
He Visits Elect.

LONDON, March 31.-It is no longer
according to etiquette to place any
wines or liquors on the table whenever
King George is a guest at military
messes or with the fleet. says the Spec
tator, which is conducting an active
campaign for prohibition during the
war. The kings order barring the use
of alcoholic beverages in his palaces
during the war is being adhered to
rigidly. No wine is served even at din
ner parties at buckingham ala or
Windsor.
The Spectator recalls the fact that
after the kings accident in France,
when he was thrown from his horse.
his physicians prescribed a small
amount of wine. AS soon as the doctors
orders were withdrawn. however, the
king renewed his abstinence.

Relations Broken Roughly.

January 81. 1917, which avoided all ag-
gressiveness in tone. deemed it proper
Immediately to break off relations with
extraordinary roughness. Our ambassa-
dor no longer had the opportunity to
explain or elucidate> orally our attitude.
The United States government thus. de-
-clined to negotiate with us. On the
other hand, it addressed itself imme-
diately to all neutral powers to isuSuce
them to join the United States and
break with us.
Every unprejudiced person must see
in this the hostile attitude of the
American government. which seemed to
consider it right, before being at war
with US. to set the entire world against
us. 1t cannot deny us the right to seek
allies when it has itself practically de-
clared war on u.s."

HOW WAS

NOTE COT?

How did the state department come
into possession of the zimmerman
note? That is a question which has
aroused intense curiosity in all circles

nothing. Even to the senate, in re

to assure them that the note is known

to give out.
There were in the beginning several
guesses to the effect that the note was
secured among the effects of Count Won
Bernstorff during the thorough search
made of the Steamship Frederick XIII
which has been held by the British at
Halifax.
Never was search conducted like

The message from the German office
