Corsica and Ena.and.

1t Is an almoss forgotten fact that
for u period OF "a little more than two
years during the Napolconic wars Cor
sica was a British possession. After
the evacuation OF Toulon the British
government felt it necessary to take
the island. aud Lord Howe. with Mel
son as brigadicr. was sent to drive out
the French. With the capture OF Calvi,
July Il, 1914. where Nelson lost bis
eye. the island fell into British hands,
and George III. formally accepted the
crown OF Corsica, appointing Sir George
Elliott as British viceroy and allowing
the Corsicans to retain their Legislative
assembly. In 1876 the activity of the
French navy in other parts of the
Mediterranean resulted In sudden
decision OF the British government to
withdraw from the island. The eyacu-
alton was completed on Oct. 20 of that
year, and Corsica reverted To France.

DISPUTE ARISES
over BUILDING
Representative Fitzgerald's S
Plan for Frame Structure
on Mall Causes Protest.

Representative Tinkham, Of Massa-
ehusetts. yesterday lined up with the
Fine Arts Commission and the Amer
ican Institute of Architects in a lively
battle with Chairman Fitzgerald, of
the House Appropriations Committee,
over the type of buildings to be erect
ed oy the government in Washington.
Representative Fitzgerald sponsors
a measure to provide an appropria-
tlon Tor the erection of a huge frame
building in the Mall close to the Ma
honal Museum to provide govern
ment Offices.
Members of the Fine Arts Commits
sion fear the building will mar the
beauty of the Capital. The American
Institute OF Architects IS OF the same
opinion Representative Tinkham. of
the House District Committee, shares
a similar view.
Tinkham's Resolution. {
The Massachusetts representative
yesterday introduced resolution
against the proposed structure which
reads:
Resolved. That while the serious
congestion in the department office
building demands the quickest pos
si5ie relief. no public building should
be erected by the government except
where the war emergency leaves no
alternative. and then only upon ap-
proval of the plans by the Commits
sion Of Fine Arts. until the Public
Buildings Commission. now engaged
IN studying the present and future
building needs in Washington in or
der to present a comprehensive pro-
gram, shall have laid its report be-
for Congress-,
Commenting on his resolution he
said:
The introduction of this bill was
actuated on my part by the recon-
mendation of the Board Of Directors
OF the American Institute Of Ar
chitects. with whom l have been in
close touch regarding the building
development Of Washington. Rec
ognizing the necessity of giving the
quickest possible relief, i cannot but
be grayely concerned lest the effort
to provide the needed additional
space shall permanently injUre the
appearance of the Capital and per-
haps make impossible the ultimate
development of the Washington plan.
II. therefore, urges upon Congress
that except in cases where the emer-
Gency leaves no alternative. my reso-
luton be adopted

SAVE YOUR STRAW" SAYS.
RAILWAY COMMISSION

'"Save your straw-f you don't
need it some other farmer WILL" is
the message which the state railway
commission has sent broadcast to
North Dakota grain growers. .
every ton Of straw in the state
is valuable for feed this year," said
Secretary J. H. Calderhead. "Not a
single stack should be burned. Even
if the eastern grain grower doesn't
get a dollar out Of his straw, he
should save it for the benefit of his
brother farmer in the western part of
the state, where there is no hay and
no grazing for livestock. This is a
time for unselfish, cooperation, and
believe, we can depend upon the North
Dakota farmer to cooperate.
"There's tens Of thousands of tons
of nice, clean straw in the valley and
the southeastern part of the state,
Every ton of this straw should be set
at work doing it's bit to preserve a
valuable food supply. Without for
age, the slope rancher must sacrifice
his cattle, and if he does that it will
mean many meatless days in the
months to come.
