Will D0 presented ID you Tor the next MS
cal year there is no allowance made for
the building of a hospital. 1t comes then
to the point of funds that we may have
left under the Naval Appropriation
which will expire on June 80, and after
much figuring it is found that thirty
thousand dollars could be utilized, and
we find that this sum would build the
addition required at the hospital; and
that it would give a satisfactory and eff
Gent hospital to C~hristiansted. We also
find that not to utilize the present build
ing which is now used as a hospital would
require at least fifty to sixty thousand
dollars in all. This was told me by Mr..
Petigrew, Public Works Officer. on his
last visit here; and it is necessary that
this thirty thousand dollars which we
offer be obligated under contract prior to
the expiration of the appropriation.
A mass meeting was called aud held in
the Christiansted Theatre on Friday last,
and | was invited to attend, | believe
they also extended invitations to four
members of the Council for Christian
sted jurisdiction, DR.. Canegata was pre-
sent at the meeting and was elected
chairman At that meeting | was called
upon to make a statement as to the Gov
ernment's position, which | did briefly,
but not in detail, as | have made
it to you; | stated that the Government
would be always glad to cooperate with
the people. There were many methods
taken into consideration at that meeting,
and | think that one of the members
present will give you a statement of
same.
In introducing this bill | would like to
hear The views of the Colonial Council
and will also be glad to furnish any in
formation in regards to funds hat might
be used in the building of the hospital. |
also wish to remind members that it is
necessary to close this matter definitely
before the amount appropriated reverts
to the United States Treasury.
End Member for Christiansted Town
(Canegata) remarked: Mr.. Chairman. AS
you no doubt are aware this question has
aroused a great deal of interest in Chris
tiansted. A mass meeting was held in
the Christiansted Theatre in this town to
which the Despatching Secretary has al
ludeo, | need not go into details. Nov
the Government has shown a desire to
cooperate with the people, | think it is
left to US now to do the best we can so
as to satisfy the desires of both parties;
| think it wise that Government and the
people cooperate together.
The hospital should not be built on its
present location; Richmond would be a
good place for the hospital, but the only
question, as the Despatching Secretary
, 1919-04-14

OanlSh Government gave d certain
amount of money which was to go to-
wards the building of a hospital, and
suggested that hat amount together
with the amount appropriated could be
used in building the hospital. This lues-
ton was put, but no definite answer
was given; | Their fore think it my duty
to put that question again today.
1T was also suggested that a certain
serve Fund of the Island. Further it
was suggested that a certain amount
could be raised from the Hurric ne
Fund. In all there are three sources
from which we could raise money. This
is the last meeting for this elective peri
Cd, and this Council will cease TO exist
within a short time, ard a decision
should be arrived at in this matter. |
would suggest that the whole Council
go into committee today to see by what
means we could raise this money. | ask
for an answer from the Despatching
Secretary to the question.
Despatching Secretary (WjJ6Gms) in
reply to 2ad Member for Christiansted
Town said: Mr.. Chairman. Before pro-
ceeding to the question of funds which /
have before me, | wish to say that
over looked in presenting this Money
Bill that | have three drawn plans tC-
gether with a letter from the Public
Works Officer tthe plans were handed to
the Chairman by the speaker).
DR.. Canegata desires that my answer
will bear on the funds which might be
used in building the hospital. On
March %, 1918, this Government re-
ceived Hurricane Funds from the Dan
ISL Government in the amount of
Frcs. 479, 1886, 90 this money was paid
by assignment into the Colonial Treasury
of st. Croix in accordance with the Pres
ident's Executive Order that all funds
shall accrue to the Treasury. The
amounts paid into the treasury were
itemized, and under same we have an
item covering damage to Peters Farm
Hospital in the amount of Frcs. lis, 900
These amounts were paid into the Coloni-
al Treasury the same as a Colonial Trea-
sury asset, and being obligated could not
be used for Christiansted Hospital.
In regard to the Hurricane Loans, as
you know, some are being paid in, in the
course of ten to fifteen years, but we
have not this money on hand, and think
the Governor eventually would prefer to
use the oney derived from that source
for the benefit of the poor as already
suggested rather than in the building of
a hospital.

Archangel. April 10th.-A company of
American troops recently showed some
hesitation in returning to the fighting
front south of Archangel, declaring
that the war with Germany was
over, and that the United States
was not at war with the Bolsheviki The
reglmental commander in a speech said
that they were fighting a desperate de-
fenslve battle, and appealed to the men
to stick to it. The Company then left
for the front. The situation arose when
the Company named was ordered back
to the front after a rest period at Arch
angel. The officers were informed that
the men did not want to go to the front
again. They asked to have their argu-
ments answered. The men contended
that they were drafted men conscripted
for the war with Germany, which was
finished now, that America was not at
war with the BOlsheviki, that the
entire Bolshevik question was the
subject of much political debate and
indecision in the United States, and as
far as they were concerned they were
unable to see why they should be fight
ing if there was no war. The regimen
tai commander said that perhaps their
own lives depended on the fighting

Company to return to the fighting line

said there was nothing to show that the
American officers at Archangel regarded
the situation as very serious.

THIS is THE BIRTHDAY OF
Agricola,
is IT YOURS7
JUNE 10, A. D. 81.

Agricola, the great Roman states
man and general and the father-in-
law of the historian Tacitus. was born
in Frejus. in what is now Provence.
His father had been put To death by
Caligula. and the boy was brought up
entirely by his mother.
He studied philosophy. then enter
ed the army and was sent to conquer
ed Britain. His rise was rapid. From
an unimportant rank, he rose until he
was in command Of an entire legion at
Deva-now the town of Chester-in
England. After various political ad-
ventures in Rome, he was sent again
to Britain as governor of the entire ter
ritory. This same year he married his
daughter 20 the famous Tacitus.
Agricola ruled Britain at Least seven
years. tho three was the usual period
for governor. and during that time
he did succeed in having the conquer
ed people adopt many of the customs
and much Of the civilization Of their
conquerors But his great success
both in a military and political way
aroused the envy Of the emperor DOM
titan ard proved his final undoing. He
