So here's hoping someone, some
day, who knows how to write or paint
will make SUNSHINE MARY as
famous as she deserves and here's
hoping that some Of you million-dol-

to the Riggs building and see what
a real human being can do with a

JAPANESE PATRIOTISM
DECLARED SUPERFICIAL

ing the apparent Indifference of the
Japanese people, both towards home
politics and the great war questions of
the day. the Yorodzu, one of the Toxic
leading dailies, says there is nothing
in which the Japanese people, today,
are really interested, but in economic
questions Continuing, the paper adds:
THE patriotism of this people re-
veaIs itself only in the time of war
and particularly on the battlefields.
1t is not so universal and steady as
the patriotism of western countries,
which has been exhibited in this great
war not only on the battlefield but
more particularly in the determination
of the whole people occupied in peace
full industry at home to back up the
work of the battle front. The spirit
with which the western people have
sacrificed their property and various
other personal interests with silent
determination is a revelation to the
people of this country. The Japanese
ought to see if they have not seen al
ready, that the boosted patriotism of
our people is very narrow and rather
superficial compared with the logged
tenacity and the universally of the
western patriotism. Furthermore, we
are in the habit of considering patriot
ism as the spirit peculiar to soldiers.
The upper class and the general pub
lie have no clear idea of what patriot
ism means outside of the battlefield
Nothing has been more ignoble than
the way the rich people of this coun-
try have pursued their selfish inter-
est in utter disregard of the national
interest"

shortage.
The hospital now has ten wards for
soldiers. two small officers wards and
an operating room, besides the admin
istrative offices. 1t boasts two ambu-
lances of the latest type. one given by
Richard Pearce, an American resident
in Liverpool and the second by an
anonymous donor.
About 200 yards from the hospital
are building two isolation wards,
each designed to accommodate 200
contagious disease patients. These
are one story structures of brick and
concrete. Each will have four ten
bed wards with two small wards in
the center for officers. A feature will
be discharge rooms were outgoing pa
tients can don their new garments.

MEMORIES OF CRUSADERS
RECALLED IN LAW SUIT

ROME, March l (by main War
memories of the middle ages have
been renewed among the nrncely
houses of Italy by the recent decision
OF the Roman civil courts condemning
the old and famous families of Cor.
SIM and Barberini to restore to the
young daughter of the Prince of Solar
ra property rights, involving a large
money income, vested in the ancient
order of the Knights of Malta
Except among noble or Catholic
families the very existence of the milf
tant religious order of the Knights of
Malta had been forgotten here, vet
the decision of the court has shown
that large properties still are in the
possession of this order founded many
centuries ago at Jerusalem and which
successfully controlled the islands Of
Rhodes and Malta until driven out by
, Napoleon.
The lawsuit was brought by Prince
Maffeo Sciarra in the interest of his
daughter. Formerly himself one of the
richest princes of Rome, he han be.
come so impoverished that he under
took several years ago the selling of
automobile insurance in order to earn
living. In his misfortune he remem-
bered that his family had once been
prominent in the Knights of Malta
Then he discovered that owing to the
great wealth of his own father and
grandfather they had probably ne
elected handsome income of $4,000
or $4,000 a year due as heirs of
Knights of Malta title, an income
which for the past hundred years had
been enjoyed by his relatives of the
princely houses of Corsini and Bar
berini. Prince Sciarra decided to sue
for the accrued income.
After two years the court has now
decided that the Princes of Barberini
and Corsini shall make joint restitu-
ton from the year 1919 until 1853,
then that the Prince Corsini shall
make full restitution from 1853 until
1880, and the Barberinis from 1880
until the present time.
Prince Sciarra and his wifeI and
daughters have once more taken their
place among the proud and exclusive
families of old Rome 81

OPEN HOSPITAL
At LIVERPOOL
FOR AMERICANS

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 20 (by maiD 49,
The first hospital for American SOL
diers in Great Britain has just been
opened in Liverpool All other hos
pitfalls thus far opened in the British
Isles have been for American officers.
The Liverpool hospital is known as
American Red Cross military hospital
No. 4 and is situated in the Mossley
Hill district, the most fashionable resi-.
Dental section about three miles from
The downtown business part of the
city. Already many American soldiers
occupy its cheerful wards and many
others in the convalescent stage, clad
in hospital pale blue are walking about
the spacious grounds.
The hospital proper occupies Moss
ley House, the former home of Dr. Ed
mund Knowles Muspratt, a noted au-
thOrity on chemistry and one of Liver
pools leading citizens, who when he
heard that the Americans wanted it
aglaly turned it over to them. It &C.
cupies the highest elevation in the
city. A typical old gothic style Eng
Ish town house, it stands in the center
Of seven acres of beautiful grounds,
the flower gardens of which are rap
IDLY being converted into plots for
raising vegetables. An American flag,
flying from the tall staff in front of
the grounds can be seen a great dis
lance, and assists visitors to find the
place.
The head of the hospital is Major
lido J. Vile, medical officers reserve
corps, United States army, who is a
member of the faculty of the Univers-
lty of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Major
Vile came here last November and
has worked untiringly to outfit the in
stitution. In this he has been assisted
by Joseph R. Morris of Chicago, rep
resenting the American Red Cross.
The majors staff conists of five of
ficers-three captains and two lieuten-
ants. The personnel of the place in
cludes ten American Red Cross nurses,
twelve sergeants and twenty privates,
Miss Marion Weller, a graduate of the
New York hospital, is chief nurse,
Major Vile is proud of the fact that
thirty-four days after Mossley House
was taken over it was fully equipped
American hospital ready for it's first
patients Today it has $50 beds with
room for expansion to 826 beds. The
institution is equipped throughout on
she American plan. This especially
is true of the hot water heating plant
and of the plumbing and electrical
installations, all of which work was
facilitated largely through the efforts
Of the British royal engineers who
helped draw up the plans and put them
