CAN'T USE ANY OF FUND
TO BUY HOSPITAL SITE
D. c. Has $500, 900 to Build Insti-
tuition on Land "0wned by the
Government"

The District Of Columbia has $780,
600 with which to build q hospital.
but cannot use any part Of that ap-
preparation to purchase q site for the
Institution, according to an interpre-
tation Of the act made public today
by Controller Of the Treasury w. w.
Warwick.
The appropriation, made March 3
last, was for a hospital and sanato-
rum for the benefit of soldiers. sail
ors, marines, Army nurses. patients of
the bureau Of war risk insurance
and all government employees injured
in line of duty. The act said the hos
pital should be erected on land
"owned by the government" and the
Secretary Of the Treasury asked the
controller whether any of the money
appropriated could be used for the
purchase OF q site. The controller de-
cided negatively.
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Moyle and Surgeon General Rupert
Blue of the public health service are
both anxious to get work started on
the building as soon as practicable,
but government-owned sites suitable
for hospitals are very limited. The
suggestion has been made that 1t
might be erected near the present
hospital on the Soldiers Home

BROTHERHOOD" is DAYS
TREND, SAYS Mr.. ALLIES
City Club Official Asserts New
Order Is Met by Democratic
Organization.

A new social upheaval, following
the war. carrying with it a tendency
toward universal brotherhood, is ap-
pearing in the world, according TO
Milton f. Allies, vice president of the
Riggs National Bank and chairman
of the executive committee of the
newly organized City Club. Mr.. Allies
points out that in no better way in
this new order being met more
intellectually than In Washington
through the new club, which
eliminates class distinctions and
holds aloft as its ideals democracy
and cooperation.
Mr.. Allies says that the City Club
will hasten the movement and
thereby be of iHestimable value TO
the people of Washington. Its out
standing. features. continues Mr.. Allies,
lis its rall-inclusiveness.- 80 :
THE tendency of clubs in the past
has been to divide into groups and
classes. Clubs have been formed to
appeal separately and individually to
scientists. business men. university
men, army and navy men, athletes
and rich men. But the City Club. in
stead of separating. will bring these
various groups together-all on the
same footing"
In Mr.. Allies opinion- the clubs
present aim to obtain 1900 active
members is too low, and it should be
increased to between 5000 to 5000
members. He believes that the pos
sibilities of the club are boundless.
The clubs plan. he asserts. has att
tracted prominent bankers in New
York, and they have expressed their
intention of starting similar c1up
there.

clusively of requisitioned steel ships.
