 The town of Omad and the fortified town of Tiraspol was taken with rush.

One is the proposed memorial arch
in honor OF the veterans Of the war.
This is the idea of Col. Robert n,
Harper. backed by other prominent
citizens 1t was brought up before
the Public Buildings Committee in the
last session, but too late to accom-
plish legislation. However, much
sentiment for il developed in the COM
mittee.
When the extra session settles down
to business. il is the intention Of
Colonel Harper and other advocates
OF the memorial arch to take the
matter up again with the committee.
Congressman Langley OF Kentucky
will be the new chairman OF the Pub
lie Buildings Committee of the House.
He is well disposed toward the Dis
trict OF Columbia.
Then there is the question OF a
new armory for the District National
Guard. This was reported favorably
in the omnibus public buildings bill
last session, but the public building
failed Efforts will be made to re-
vive this bill, or one similar, in the
extra session, and as a part OF il a
provision for a new armory for the
guard.
