FOR IMPROVEMENTS AT
ST. ELIZABETH HOSPITAL
Secretary Grass Sends Increased
Estimates to Congress Urged
by Supt. White.

Secretary Glass has sent to Con-
eress supplemental estimates of ap-
preparations for $4,000 for buildings
and other improvements at ST. Eliza
beth Hospital for the fiscal year
1919. The present appropriation for
St. Elizabeth provides $4,000 for
general repairs to buildings and
grounds.
DR.. William A. White, superintend-
emit, in urging hte increase said.
."The deficiency sum estimated for is
needed for the balance of the fiscal
wear. While only little over five
months of the fiscal year has passed,
the hospital has already expended ap-
proximately $4,000 out of this appro-
nria ton and has contracts and orders
outstanding for supplies amounting to
approximately $4,000 additional We
will require about $4,000 for the said
months to cover pay roll Of employees
utilized on repair work, which makes
a total of approximately $4,000. This
ia $4,000 in excess of the appropria-
ton as made. In addition to the fore
going. the federal railway admins
tration has had its employees repair
the roadbed on our railroad but have
not as yet rendered bill covering the
cost. and this must be paid out of the
repair and improvement appropria-
ton"

APPEAL MADE FOR GIRLS
BY CRITTENTON LEAGUE
Seventeen at Ivakota Farm Have
No Hope of Christmas Cheer
Unless Others Provide.

The Florence Crittenton League OF
Virginia, with headquarters at Alexan-
dria, has issued an appeal on behalf of
a group of seventeen girls who reside at
..Ivakota Farm and whom the league
describes as "a family in our care. F"
There is little prospect that these unfor-
tunate girls. out there twenty miles from
Washington. near Clifton Station. Va.
isolated for the good of society, yet
through no fault of their own, will have
any sort of a Christmas unless we'll
wishers here remember their plight.
Most of the girls have brother or
two in service. Last year there were
fifteen girls at the farm and they we're
practically forgotten, while at Thanks
giving time this year the only remem-
brance for the present group came from
a New Jersey organization. Those who
in some small way may wish to help
these young women are urged to com
municate with Mrs. Lamont A. Will
liams, 1918 B street southeast. or with
Mrs. Kate w. Barrett, Alexandria. Va.

Tells London Times Interviewer He Has Con-

to Solue Problems Confronting the World

PARIS, December 20.-"I am conf

men of the world will be able to
reach a just and reasonable solution
of the problems that will be present
ed to them, and thus earn the graft
tude OF the world for the most criti-
cal and necessary service which has
ever been rendered it," said President
Wilson today in an interview, re-
ferring to the approaching peace con-
ference.
The interview was given to the
correspondent Of the London Times.
In lit the President is reported to
have stated his views on the discus
sion Ct the freedom of the seas and
to have contrasted the evils Of the
Vienna congress with a hopeful out
look for the Versailles congress.
Lord Northcliffe, editor of the Lon
don Times, has given the Associated
Press a copy of the interview. from
which the following extracts have
been made:
Vienna Congress Of Bosses.
The congress OF vienna, the cOrIe-
spondent says President Wilson told
him, was a congress of bosses" The
delegates were concerned more with
their own interests and the classes
they represented than the wishes of
their peoples.
Versailles, as President Wilson
said" the interviewer continues,
must be meeting place of the serv-
ants of the people represented by
delegates. and he added. There is no
master mind who can settle the prob
lens Of today. If there is anybody
who thinks he knows what is in the
mind of all peoples. that man is a
fool. We have all got to put our
heads together and pool everything
we have got for the benefit Of the
ideals which are common to ALL
asked whether he would visit the
grand feet, President Wilson replied
that he was afraid he would not
have time, adding that he fully
realized that behind the great armies
there was the strong, silent and
watchful support of the British navy
in securing the communications of
the allies.
He referred also to the very happy
