URGE MEMORIAL Be
USED FOR ARCHIVES

Government records Of the war Of
incalculable value, and which would
be replaceable, IL at all, only at tre-
mendous cost, are stored In temporary
buildings of fiimsy and infiammable
construction which are subject to de-
struction by fre at any time, 1t was
admitted today by the Council of Ma
tional Defense, which has charge Of
a portion Of the records.
It has been suggested that these
records be filed in the basement and
tional Victory Memorial building, thus
preventing the necessity of erecting
a special archives building.
The suggestion that the vaults Of
the great National Memorial building
be used for certain of the Government
war records arose from the fact that
It is intended, in following out the
service star plan of financing the
project, to have a service record re-
lating to virtually every man who
served in the national armed forces
during the war filed In the archives
of the building.
AS the building is to be a memorial
to the civilian as we'll as the military
side of the national achievement in
the world war, II was considered that
II would be appropriate to house there
also the official records Of the contact
between governmental agencies and
the Industrial and com nerclal life OF
the country during the war. The rec
ords now in possession OF the Council
OF National Defense are mainly of
that sort. There are also many other
records of this kind which are not in
the custody OF the council which could
be included.
Under the service star plan OF rails

tion of the Victory Memorial build.

II know of several instances" he
said, when church leaders simply
dropped everything on receiving word
OF their local quota One minister in
particular shut himself up for several
days to give the matter his whole at
tention. His quota was more than
his church ever had thought of rais-
ing, and he had grave doubts wheth-
ef 1t could be done, even for the
New World Movement. But at the
end of his deliberation, / received a
telegram that his church had accept
ed its quota. and was going to raise
every cent OF it."

the voting membership.
Under the canon law Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal church women DO not

and expressed the hope that after q
reasonable time this law would be
changed.

amending the charter OF the Episco-
pal church so that women would be
given the vote. The bill Is now be-
fore the Senate.
The Washington times., 1920-04-05

Government employees generally ex-
pressed disappointment today over
the form In which the Sterling re-
tirement bill passed the Senate. and
concerted EFFORT will be made TO
have the House kill the smoot
amendment which raises the retire
ment age from slxty-five to seventy
years.
The high age limit is being criti-
cised from every side. 1t is declared
that seventy years is anything but
an attractive pension age to look
forward to since IL Is far beyond the
average span OF life.

There was every indication this
morning that unless this age limit
be reduced the greater percentage OF
Government employees would pay
their assessment under protest Un-
der the provisions of the Sterling bill
IL is compulsory for each empioye TO

18th CASE OF SLEEPING
SICKNESS IS REPORTED
Man of 81, Stricken in February,
Believed Observation-Disclosures
Patients Remain at 81.

The nineteenth case OF sleeping
sickness" in Washington was reported
20 the District Health Department to.
day. The patient Is a man, white,
sixty seven years old, and Is said to
be recovering.
The case developed early in Feb
ruary, shortly after the patient had
recovered from an attack OF grippe.
He complained of being drawsy and
gradually his sleep became irregular.
The attending physician states the
man complains that sleep does not
refresh him: that after awakening
from slumber he sometimes feels "out
Of his mind; that he sleeps for one
half hour. then wakes for several
hours, and keeps this up without
interruption and that he never gets
the amount of sleep a man of his age
should have.
The condition of the patient has
improved during the past few weeks
and 1t is believed his recovery Is only
a matter OF days. He is now able.
at times, to get UP and walk around
the room, and gets more sleep than
usual.
DR.. William c. Fowler, District
Health officer, stated today physi-
clans of his department had been un-
able to find the origin of the dis
ease. However. most thorough in
vestigstion is being made. Only a
few recoveries have been reported
among the nineteen cases, the first
OF which originated in January. This
patient is still i'll.
No new cases OF smallpox were re-
ported to the department today. The
total stands at thirty-two. A close
watch Is being kept on every person
suspected of having the disease. The
