Polish national headquarters in Chi

of the Polish committee of America

Polish descent in the United States
In an interview today he expressed
his admiration at the reign of order

about by the shortage of food and
clothing, and repeated attacks of the
enemy. He spoke of the strength of

WOMEN WANT TO CHEER
'SKUT-|N' REED PATIENTS
Write The Star Asking Names
Letters Will Be Turned Over to
Volunteers. Who Will Aid.

Several kind hearted women of the
city and nearby suburbs have written
to The Star asking if they could be
furnished with a list of names of
"shut-in" patients at Walter Reed
Hospital to whom they might send
Christmas membranes. books or
other suitable presents.
There are many boys at the hospital
who have friends or relatives who Will
remember them on Christmas day. but
there are several hundred boys who
are far from home and many of them
have no relatives and few friends
Many come from small towns where
they may have lived but few years
of their short lives and are very
likely to have been forgotten. For
such as these the Red Cross will do a
splendid work, but there is opportu-
nifty for other volunteer help. If other
kindly disposed persons wish to make
the day happy for some unknown
young friends they may write to the
Star and their letters will be turned
over to the willing volunteer women
who visit the different wards and are
familiar with the needs and wants Oh
the various boys.
These women will be only too gao
to supply the names or see 10 the
proper distribution of presents that
may be sent to the Red Cross or TO
The Star office In other words, they
will see to it that boys who have lost
their legs in France and have not YET
become accustomed to their artlhclal
feet are not given ice or roller SKATES,
and that an accordion or banjo Is hot
given to a boy who has lost hano.

STREET CAR INVESTORS
SEEK SAFE CONDITIONS

In brief filed today with the Fed
eral Electric Railway Commission,
Bentley w. Warren. counsel for the
committee of one hundred of the
American Electric Railway Associa-
ton. recommends continuation of pri-
vate ownership of electric railways
and protection of private capital in
vested in local transportation.
The federal commission. which has
made an exhaustive study of prob
lens of the lectric street railways,
will probably report it's findings to
President Wilson this month.
Mr.. Warren's brief declared that
the confidence of the investor in cleo
trio railway investments has been de-
stroyed. not because of temporary
depression in the business. but by
reason of the fact that the conditions
surrounding the investment have
been and are now such as to prohibit
assurance of either it's safety or ade-
quate return"
The committee suggested in order
to safeguard the interests of invest
ors, the enactment of measures pro
viding a flexible automatic rate of
fare based upon the cost of service,
including a fair rate of return and
further reward based on efficiency
in operation.

The Lincoln Statue.
o the Editor Of The Star:

10 tne EultOr OF Inc Star.
Allow me to say word regarding
the statue of President Lincoln,
which has been a pleasing landmark
for so many years in front of the
courthouse and which is to be re-
moved and stored. Indeed. it is very
unfortunate that the wishes of this
defenseless community were not con-
suited, for l am sure it would never
have agreed to this course. The
statue may have it's defects. but the
people of the District of Columbia
have always looked upon it with a
degree of perfect satisfaction and
pride. With all it's imperfections. it
is our statue, erected to one of the
greatest men of all ages and paid for
by the people of this city. the artist.
Lot Flannery, being himself local
man. Some time ago, when the re-
moVal of this statue was first spoken
of. the subject was discussed before
the Brightwood Citizens Association.
and. at that time. there was not a
single voice but that regretted it's
proposed removal. and it was only in
the event that it's protest would not
be needed that it's removal to Fort
Stevens was advocated. where the
great historic event of July II, 1864,
would fit in so appropriately with
the monument of the chief actor upon
that critical occasion. The thought
of it's removal reminds one of that
true saying of Rip Van Wrinkle: How
soon We are forgotten" In Rips
case. however. he had only been alb
sent for twenty years, whereas this
monument has been perfectly salts
factory for now over fifty-one years.
but. alas, its memory and tie incl
dents leading up to it's dedication
seem to have been almost entirely
forgotten. The committee having in
charge its procurement and erection
was formed April IS. 1865. and subse-
quently became known as the Lincoln
National Monument Association. with

Enormous War Risk Salaries.

To the Editor OF Inc Star:
I have noticed repeatedly articles IN

and salaries in the war risk bureau
most of which are misleading to the
public In almost all the articles men
ton is made of the enormous salaries
paid: in a great many instances Sl,sOC
and s24O bonus to ordinary clerks Ii
is well known by the employees OF the
bureau, if not by the newspapers ano
also some senators and representa-
tiyes in Congress. that a great many
of the employees receive the enormous
sum of $50 per month, some $40 and a
vast number $50, and also that instead
of receiving the s24o BONUS about
one-half receive S120 and the remain
der none whatever If any are receiv-
ing the s24O there is evidently some
discrimination made by those in pow
err. 1 am sure the employees of the ou-
reau would appreciate the CORRECTION
of the erroneous impression given the
public by any such articles that have
recently been brought to their atten-
ton through the articles published as
above mentioned.

eral Ireland reviews the work of the
Army Medical School at 472 Louisiana

the school and it's laboratories will be
housed at the Walter Reed Hospital
on Georgia avenue during the coming

He says that funds for the purchase
of the necessary land are nov on hand.
Pending the construction of permanent
buildings it would be well, the surgeon
general says, to occupy for school pur-
poses some of the temporary buildings
which will be available when the quota
of patients under treatment is reduced.
He adds that the course of the school
has been extended to eight months,
and that there are about eighty officers
under instruction.

there is another thing of equal impor-
lance 1t should not be allowed to lie
bare over winter. Ground exposed to
beating rains will puddle and wash
and great loss of plant food is sure to
result A very good plan is to sow the
garden in some green crop, such as
rye or winter barley That protects
the ground and adds organic matter
to the soil But there is, according to
garden specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture, a still bet
ter plan and one that can DC put in
practice after the season for sowing
rye or barley is long past That bet
ter IAN is to plow or spade the gar
den in the fall or as early in the win
ter as possible and give it heavy
coating of coarse manure. Leave the
ground in the rough, as this will pre-
vent the loss of the valuable ingredi-
ents in the manure.

Gives Early Vegetables.

Now, what have you gained by that
plan? Well. in addition to fertilizing
the ground and putting it in better
physical condition, this: The garden
can be planted earlier in the spring
than if it had been left bare or planted
to a green crop. And that amounts TO
a great deal. 1t amounts, frequently
10 having a number of nice vegetables
on your table two or three weeks a
head of your neighbors who did not
break his garden till spring. Such
crops as smooth peas, beets, lettuce
and onion sets can be planted as early
in the spring as the ground can be
worked. II blowing or spading the
ground has been deferred till spring, a
delay of as much as three weeks is
likely to occur after these crops
should have been planted-which
means, reducing il to money measure,
that you will go on buying vegetables
for at least that long after you might
have been bringing them in nice and
fresh from your own garden If you
had done a little work in the fall or
early winter
And, at the time you clean up the
