HOME FOR |NCURABLES
ASKS THANKSGIVING AID
Appeal Made to Public After Hard
Period Brought About During
Continuance of War.

THANKSGIVING appeal for donations
10 the Home for Incurables was sent
out today by Mrs. Charlotte Everett
f1oPklns' president of the institution.
Inc Home for Incurables was
founded in 1882" said Mrs. Hopkins.
1T is the only place of the kind in
washington which cares for free and
paid patients. and also the only one
between Philadelphia and Atlanta
and Atlanta and Chicago. which takes
cancer patients. either free or paid.
Range Of Patients.
we average sixty-two patients,
men, women and children, ranging
from mere babies to more than ninety
years of age. Through the generosity
OF the public, our funds come from
subscriptions. donations, interest on
legacies and an appropriation of IS, 600
from Congress"
The Home for Incurables is non
sectarian. According to Mrs. Hopkins
the battle for existence has been very
difficult during the past five years
IN fact. desperate struggle. She
said the moment has now come when
it is absolutely necessary to appeal
to the public to assist in paying for
repairs to the entire house. $500 for
coal and a few summer expenses. and
$4,000 for a new elevator, the old
one having entirely broken down
after twenty years faithful service.
Total Cost of $4,000.
1t is estimated that the total cost of
these necessities will reach $4,000,
and Mrs. Hopkins hopes that at this
Thanksgiving season those who are
well and happy will contribute to the
welfare of their less fortunate neigh
bors.
All donations. large or small, may
be sent to Robert S. Chew, treasurer,
at 1902 H street, to the home, or to
Mrs. Hopkins, 1925 Massachusetts

PUBLIC MAY SPLIT
MINERS PAY RAISE
WITH OPERATORS
Continued from First Page.)

Secretary of Labor who believes 2S
per cent is about right, would not
take long to adjust if the miners were
sure for instance Of the acceptance by
the operators of the position taken by
the Secretary Of Labor and II the OPP
orators in turn were sure that DR..
Harry A. Garfield. fuel administrator,
could assure them OF permission to
raise the present maximum price OF
coal which was set during the war and
recently reimposed when the coal
crisis began.
It is an effort at present to figure
out how the increase In wages can be
absorbed and simultaneous effort to
keep the increase of wages down as
low as possible while operators per-
suade the government of the necessity
of being allowed to charge more to
the consumer.

The situation is parallel to that
which confronted the country .Sn E,,n when 81,

was too high, the farmers said it was
not enough, and the effect of the

counted. In the end. It was found
that while costs of uncontrolled COM
modities went up, the price OF flour
remained stable. So it was with su-
gar. The extra wages in mining a
ton of coal may seem to some people
too much to pay, but 1t means II alb

partly by the public that for the next

cient to give this country and Europe

GERMANS ASKED
!. # THEY WILL SIGN
PEACE PROTOCOL
Supreme Council Sends I'M
portant Note to Delegation
From Berlin.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, November 24.-The supreme
council today decided to send the
German delegation here a note in re-
ply to the one submitted by the Ger
mans informing the council of the de-
parture for Berlin of the plenipoten-
tiaries sent in connection with the
protocol guaranteeing the carrying
out of the armistice terms. which
Germany has been informed she will
have to sign before the peace treaty
IS put into effect. The notes con-
tents were not given out today. 1t
was announced that the text would be
made public tomorrow,
The supreme councils note to the
German delegation is understood to be
sort of summons to the Germans to
make known whether they want to
sign the protocol and make the treaty
effective or not. 1t is not understood
! to be couched as an ultimatum.
The council received advices from
Sir George Clerk. it's representative in
the negotiations with Hungary, that
ne would leave Budapest this even
ing for Paris. 1t was announced that
the German and Polish plenipoten-
tiaries discussing the question of
Danzig would hold meetings in \Paris.

dehcy Of Jules Cambon Of the French

View of American Delegation.
The sudden departure of the COM
mission headed by Herr Won Simson,
delegated by the German government
to sign for Germany the protocol
guaranteeing enforcement of the
peace treaty and to exchange ratifica-
tons OF the document. is regarded in
American peace delegation circles as
having close connection with the news
of the adjournment of the United
States Senate without ratifying the
treaty.
The American opinion. however. does
not agree with the majority of French
criticisms that the Germans are using
the failure Of the Senate to ratify the
treaty as pretext for avoiding full
nllment OF the peace terms 1t is sug-
gested that the Germans are hesitat-
ing because they are confronted with
| situation in which the absence of
! American members from the commits
sions charged with supervision of ex-
ecution of the treaty deprives them
OF what they are supposed to consider
| as a counterpoise to the points OF
view of their former European enc
| mics.

opinion. Will inevitably lead to the ad-

that 1t will almost certainly assume

Affects Both Parties.
That all Of these things will weigh
heavily against the democratic party
in the next elections is unquestioned,
inasmuch as democratic leaders will
have been held responsible for the
failures abroad.
Notwithstanding tho fact that the
millions of foreign-born voting citi-
zens of America are first Americans.
it is not denied that they still hold
great love for their native lands and
are intensely interested in their well
fare and future safety. This is plain
ly evidenced by the tremendous in
spired furores that have been created
during and since the peace confer
ks~r
alities in America by good Americans,
but Americans who through moral
and political suasion have sought to
further the interests of their native
lands by petition and preachment. In
these activities they have been ably

some instances. inspired to their
great activity by these very same
agencies.
But while it would appear that the
democrats have lost caste and will be
the victim of foreign influences in
the next elections. the republicans
will likewise feel direct pressure. In
antagonizing Wilson policies and pan
aceas in Congress. many republican
senators and members OF the House
have bitterly assailed foreign peoples
and countries. They have questioned
the honesty and integrity of some.
they have "boo-hooed" others. In
preaching a Iaudable gospel of Isl
mon-pure Americanism" some of
these republican leaders have erred
in method and have offended vast
portions Of the foreign-born popula-
ton. Many of these foreigners and
their sympathizers will not differen-

No Rules to Prevent Outburst.
The rules of the Italian parliament
do not provide for any such contin-

stipulated that no police or armed
force can be employed in the hall
where the senators and deputies meet.
There would be no means of applying
coercion, as the meeting Monday, De-
cember. 1, will be the first gathering
of the new parliamentary body, and
the rules of the new chamber for

of anti-constitutional deputies on the
