You and your conferees among
the national officers of the Knights

WILL URGE CONGRESS
TO FIX MEMORIAL SITE
Members Plan to Take Up 4. of c.
Gift to Legion at Ses-
sion's Opening.

NEW YORK, October 8 (SpeciaD.
Leading members of both political
parties in Congress have volunteered
knights of Columbus and to the ma
t;onal officers of the American Legion
that they will urge as one of the first
acts of the incoming session of Con-
greSS authorization of the use of a
central site in the National Capital for
the $5.000,000 memorial building,
which is to be patriotic rendezvous
and convention hall.
There are more than a score of
knights of Columbus in Congress,
some of whom have been state officers.
but the most enthusiastic offers of
help to get government ste for the
hero-memorial have been made by
members not affiliated with the
knights.
The supreme officers of the knights
have received many kilograms of APP
probation from American Legion posts
and commanders throughout the coun-
try, accompanied by resolutions of
thanks.
State Commander William r. Nc
Cauley of Illinois, where the K. of c.
offer originated, sent the following
word:
Every one who had anything to do
WIN eho SdSeyS the war
knows their wonderful spirit. This is
but another instance of their watch
fulness over the eX-seryice man, A duty
they are performing as Fundamentally
now as they did during the war"
Explaining the motive of the offer,
Supreme knight James A. Flaherty
today said: We believe that a ma
tional memorial in Washington for
our hero dead is appropriate and
necessary, and we believe that the
memorial should serve a useful as
well as a sentimental purpose; fur
thermore, the National Capital needs
the kind of building we propose to
erect for the legion. Our gift will
probably save the taxpayers of the
nation from providing a memorial
building in Washington and also
obviate the necessity of drives for
this purpose. We know from scores
of representative expressions that the
offer has met with the approval of
the donors of the X. of c. war fund.-
First Vice Commander William F.
Deegan of the American Legion of
New York state. declared today: The
Knights of Columbus offer comes
like bolt from the blue Every
post in New York discussed the offer
last night. We are all enthusiastic
about it and appreciate above all
things that the offer, the finest ever
made the legion, without any strings
whatever attached to it. comes from
the Knights of Columbus, who had
already won our hearts through their
generous war and reconstruction work"

ASSAILS GAS RATES.
VIM. NICK. Clayton Says Increase

William NICK. Clayton, chairman of
the utilities committee of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, ex-
pressed the belief today that while
there has been much denunciation of
high rentals in Washington he does
not believe the percentage Of increase
on real estate has been as great as
that on gas rates and street car fares.
He made the assertion while discus
sing the application of the Washing
ton and Georgetown gas light COM
panies for an increase from SLIPS to
s1.44 per thousand cubic feet. Mr.
Clayton said he does not believe rents
in Washington have advanced on an
average of more than 80 per cent
whereas gas rates and car fares. he
said, have gone up approximately 80
per cent.
eff Congress wants to move govern
ment departments to escape high
rentals in Washington" said Mr.
Clayton. lit should move them to Los
Angeles. where. ! am told, gas rates
are low, or to Philadelphia, where
street car fares are substantially
lower than in Washington"
