TO LAUNCH
HOSPITAL DRIVE
Salisbury Will Go After S1oo,OOO
For New Addition.


Salisbury, Md, March 13.-An eff
fort is to be made in Salisbury soon
to raise $4,000 by public sub
scription for erecting new wing
and euuipping the Peninsula General
Hospital, of this city.
Within the last few days the mem
bers of Wicomico Post American
Legion, voted against a proposition
to erect the hospital wing as a
memorial of the soldiers, sailors ana
marines in Wicomico county who
made the supreme sacrifice.
1t is the contention of the legion
members that since the hospital as
if now stands is already memorial
to the late William E. Jackson a
wing erected as a memorial to their
dead comrades would be lost sight
of in the course of few years, ana
they demand a memorial when Will
be distinctiyely memorial OF the
county's fighting men.
1t is probable therefore, that the
money in hand already for memorial
purposes will be used for the cree
ton of a building, which will be the
headquarters and home of the
American Legion and which will also
house a public library adequate to
the needs of the city. This is the
suggestion of the legion members
and it has been decided that since
the ex-service men are mostly direct
ly concerned they should have the
right to designate what form that
memorial shall take.
Since this decision has been arr1V-
ed at steps nave been taken TO
launch campaign for the raising OF
the $4,000 which will be needed
for the hospital.

was the most important event of the

Frank Van Glider Admits
Grimm Halted Centralia
: Legionaires in Front of I.
w. w. Hall.
Especial to the Bulletin.)

Montesano, Wash, Feb. 17.-~The
most important feature of today's
session in the trial Of the IL men
accused of having shot Warren O.
Grimm during the Armistice day
rioting at Centralia, was the testi-
mony of Frank Van Glider, one of
the parade participants, who was re-
lied on by the prosecution as one of
it's strongest witnesses.
Van Glider said he was in com
mand of the first platoon of the
Centrala division in the parade
He testified that Grimm gave the
order to halt when the Centralia di-
vision was in front of the I. w. W.
hall. Van Glider told of hearing a
shot followed by others and said he
gave the order to clear the streets.
The witness was severely grilled
by Attorney Vanderveer, who ap-
parently sought to show that the
story as related by Van Glider had
been prepared in advance.
Van Glider said he believed that
nearly $50 shots were fired, but ad-
mitted under cross-examination that
he was confused at the time.

SAY WILSON
HAS LOST
CASTE
Adriatic Note Oh Top Of
I,ansing's Discharge Re
duces Former God to
Humorous Level.
Especial United Press Wire. J

Especial United Press Wire.)
London, Feb, 17.--The final draft
OF the allied reply to President Will
sons Adriatic note probably will be
completed today at the session Of
the premiers, it was learned semi
officially. No intimaton OF the text
until it is received by President Will
SON. it was stated.
In the meantime public opinion
is at sea regarding the real course
OF events. Among the masses, as
the result of the resignation OF Sec
retary OF State Lansing and the Ad-
liatic note, President wilson s
prestige is now lower than at any
time since he appeared on the inter
national horizon. From being al
most revereEtly worshipped as
opinion of the president here has
changed until his name row brings
only Il wondering smile from many
people. On the other hand, a large
section of the population, compris-
ing mostly close observers and lib
eral thinkers seek to prove the Ad-
riatic note as an indication that the
president has come back and may
be able to force the United States
back into the arena Of European
politics.
These people regard the Adriatic
note as the first indication of this
change in the course Of events for
the United States and hope it may be
possible for the president to force
through a part of his original pro-
gram, including cooperation in
European affairs through the league
of nations
