from the office Of James T Aoyie.
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury,
that this is part Of the $1,000 900 ap-
preparation for this class Of hospitals

all may be either temporary or per
mGnent in nature. II was desired 20
give Washington the best hospital
that could be procured. the announce
ment stated, and for this purpose the
Mt. Alto Inn" property was secur-
ed.
On June 8. 1919. the Comptroller Of
the Treasury ruled that the $3.50, 900
appropriation for the hospital in
Washington could not be spent TO
acquire land. but that the hospital
must be built on land owned by the
Government, the site TO be selected
by the Secretary OF the Treasury. II
was thereupon decided to rent the
entire plant in case II was desired to
move the hospital at any time.
The property consists Of eleven
and one-half acres, with four fire
proof dormitories, a fireproof admin
istration building, large green
house, an outdoor theater with
seating capacity Of 1000. and a
thoroughly equipped hospital. With

CALL OFF ALL STRIKES
That of Harbor Men Only One
Left In Argentine.
One Thousand Killed and 5000 Hurt
In Riots Attendant On
Disturbances.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 17.-Labor lead
ers, at a conference with President
lrogoyen, agreed to call off all strikes
in Argentine, except the one which
has virtually p%aralyzed shipping in the
harbor.
kilograms received from different
parts Of the country indicate condi-
lions are much improved as a result
Of orders sent to the various unions.
No Need for Martial Law.
President %Irigoyen promised the la
Dor representatives he would do every
thing possible to meet the demands of
the workmen, including wage in
creases. He said he would study the
port strike with a view to arriving at
some solution which would be satis-
factory to both sides. After the con-
ference the president said he believed
there would be 10, necessity for the es-
Enlistment of martial law throughout
the country.
1000 Killed in Rioting.
Recapitulation of the casualties in
flicted during the disorders of the last
week shows between $50 and 1000 per-
sons were killed and between $500 and
5000 were wounded. The final figures
probably will be much higher, as many
of the killed and wounded were carried
away by the rioters.
Military Precautions Not Relaxed.
Reports from provinces have shown
the troubles did not have their origin
in bolshevism but were due to conflicts
incident to strikes. In this city, where
there was danger of a b%olshevist up
rising, conditions are much improved,
but military precautions against fur
ther outbreaks have not been relaxed.
Food supplies have been replenished
and meat is available for the first time
in nearly a week.

TAFT fAvORS LEAGUE
Former President Believes in
Union of Nations.
Declares Organization Is Vital to
Peace of World and to UpbuiId
New Powers.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Suggestions
that the United States by it's entrance
into a league of nations would be shar-
ing its sovereignty as a nation were
characterized as "a bugaboo which
ought not to attract the support of
serious men," by former President
Taft in an address here before the
National, Geographic society.
Establishment of a league of ma
lions, he said, is not only vital to the
future peace of the world, but also to
the creation of the half dozen new
governments promised in President
Wilson's Il peace terms.
I'VE do not PROPOSE" said Mr.. Taft,
TO limit the freedom of action of a
nation in the league to enforce peace
by anything more than the rules of
international law or of decency and
moral conduct and good form. The
sovereignty of every nation will be
established by enabling the great and
small nations equally to enjoy the ben
efits of international law without main
tanning armed forces to secure their
rights and prevent murder and rob-
berry and drive off the footpads among
nations.
1T is to protect the sovereignty of
the smaller nations and to relieve the
greater nations from the burdens of
their self-protections that the league
of nations is to be formed"

SPEAKING TOUR
President May Make Trip Over U.
S. on Return.
Would Inform Country of Peace Pro
ceedings and Encourage Support
of His Principles.

Paris, Jan. 16.-A speaking tour of
the United States soon after he re-
turns home is being planned by Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t is said this trip Will
take him into many of the principal
cities and possibly to the Pacific coast.
His plans are not as yet matured.
With Congress out of the way early
in March, Mr.. Wilson would have an
opportunity for such a tour before re-
turning to Europe, should he follow
his original plan and if his return trip
before the converting of an %extraordi-
nary session of Congress should he
decide to call one.
No Extra Session Plans.
So far as known, Mr.. Wilson has no
plans for an extra session, but he still
holds to his idea of returning to the
peace congress, if it is felt his pres
ence is necessary to the success OF the
league of nations.
The object of his proposed speaking
tour would be to inform the country
by personal contact of the proc eedings
at Paris and at the same time sound
out and encourage public sentiment in
support Of the peace principles he las
enunciated and which he feels have
been acclaimed by the masses il Eu.

Marshal Foch Wants River as
Barrier Between Germany
and France.
PRAISES YANk TROOPS
Allied commandments Receives
American Newspaper correspon-
dents After Negotiating New
Armistice Terms.

Treves, Jan. 20.-Marshal Foch en-
tertains the conviction that the Rhine
must be made the barrier between
Germany and France. He made this
clear when he received American
newspaper correspondents.
The marshal is here in connection
with the meeting concerning the ex-
tension of the German armistice.
Marshal Foch pointed out the diff
culties that had been overcome and
said that peace must be commensurate
with the price of victory. Germany
now was beaten, he added, but with
her resources, especially in men, re.
c%uperation in a comparatively short
time was possible. 1t was now the
duty of the Allies, he said, to prevent
further aggressions.
Marshal Foch praised the work of
the American troops and said that
General Pershing had asked that the
American forces be concentrated for
an attsak on M sector. The Allied
generalissimo admitted that the Ar
gonne-Meuse front, where the Ameri-
cans began their offensive on Septem-
Der 26, was a sector hard to tackle"
The marshal said he had told General
P%ershing: Your men have the dey-
ills own punch. They will get away
with all that. Go to it,"
The American attack succeeded, the
marshal continued, land here we are
on the Rhine"
Truce Did Not Come Too Soon.
The armistice was not concluded too
soon and the Allies got all they asked
for from Germany without continuing
the fighting. The Allies, the marshal
said, were prepared for another often
sive stroke which would have forced
the Germans to give up. This was to
have been made in Lorraine on No
vember IA, With six American and 20
French divisions.
"This is for me-" Marshal Foch
began, a happy opportunity to tell
you all the good things 1 think OF the
American army and of the part it
played on our side. Your soldiers were
enthusiastic and carried forward by a
vigorous idealism, they marched to
battle with admirable gallantry.
Eyes, they were superb. There is
no other word. When they appeared
our armies were, as you know, ia.
tigued by three years of relentless
struggle and the mantle of wal laid
heavily upon them. We were mag
n%ificently comforted by the virility of
your Americans"
