BURNS; z KILLED

BALTIMORE, April 25-Gutted by a
fire that started at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, st. Mary's Industrial
School for Boys will rise from the
ruins a greater and more modern in
stitution, some. Of the trustees an
nounced today.
The damage is estimated at $500, 900
and there is about 100000 insurance.
Two hremen were killed and four
teen others were injured, besides two
persons connected with the institution,
when they battled with the flames.
All but fifty OF the $50 boys at the
school were at play in the y-rd when
the fire started. Those in the building
were rescued. The FIRE is believed to
have started from a timers torch on
the roof.
Chapel Damaged.
The chapel, connected with the main
building by a wall three stories high,
was burning four hours after the
fire started, and was badly damaged.
Practically all Of the handsome
paintings, some OF them the work OF
noted artists, were saved. Among them
was a recent painting Of CardinalG Glib
bons. chairman Of the board OF the
institution.
All OF the boys from the school
have been placed in temporary quar-
ters in other institutions in the city.
The building occupied by the school
was begun in 1866. At four different
times additions were built, the last
one being in 1913, when the chapel,
itself worth several hundred thou
sand dollars, the tower and front yes
tibule were built. It was considered
cne Of the most beautiful institutions
OF the kind in the East
II has long been regarded as an
ideal institution. The stan consists
Of thirty brothers and thirty laymen,
under the direction Of Brother Paul.
Cared for Many Boys.
More than 10000 boys have been
cared for at St Mary''s since its
founding. The idea Of the, school
originated with the Most Rev. John
Spaulding, archbishop of Baltimore
The school was modelled on one in
Belgium, which was under the direc-
tion OF, the Xaverian Brothers in
Baltimore. '.' .,
The school is not a reformatory.
There are some cases where boys are
committed TO the care Of the brothers
by the courts, but as q rule the boys
are there simply because they have no
home.
St. Mary's' is proud Of her war rec |
ord-more than 600 Of the boys were |
in service for the United States during |
the war.

ARMY nurses NEED
RANK, FACTS SHOW

al blush with shame when I think
that American nurses are forced to
sleep on railway station floors all
night while their officers find COM
Portable beds in the best hotels. That
is what we did in Metz and what the
nurses coming through are still do
ing"
This extract from the letters Of an
army nurse with the American expe-
dictionary forces in Germany was read
to the Maryland State Federation Of
Women's Clubs yesterday in Mccoy
Hall, Baltimore, by Mrs. Helen Hoy
Greeley, who is counsel for the ma
tional committee to secure military
rank for army nurses.
Another letter told how three med
ical officers who didn't like their
quarters on shipboard on the way
home last March tried to have seven
nurses occupying two first-class cabins
transferred to second-class' cabins on
the ground that their rank did not
entitle them to hrst-class accommo-
dations. Four Of the seven nurses
were too i'll to be moved on the day
when these doctors wanted their
rooms. The story was bruited about
the ship, and so much indignation was
aroused by it that the officers de-
cided not to move.
Another nurse wrote about the time
and energy the nurses had to waste
in trying to get the hospital orderIies
to do their work properly All such
difficulties would automatically be
eliminated by the comforting Of rank
upon the nurses, declared Mrs. Gree
ley. The Maryland federation passed
a resolution indorsing the movement
for rank for the nurses, and will sun
port the bill for rank that is to be
introduced at the extra session of
Congress.
