OPPOSED BY curry

Final selection BY Congress Of Ala
m eda, on the lower San Francisco
bay. as q naval base Is to be fought
vigorously by Congressman Curry Of
California
Curry charges that this selection
would mean the unnecessary use, or
waste. Of 800, 100000. He asserts
further that the selection Of Alameda
was influenced by wilful misrepre-
sentation of facts concerning the pro-
posed site at Mare Island, and a falsi-
fication Of estimates of relative costs
Of constructing the naval base at
Mare Island and at Alameda He
sharply criticises Rear Admiral
Parks. chief of the Bureau Of Yards
and Docks.
The Alameda site for the base was
recommended By the special Joint
committee on Pacific coast naval
bases, Of which Senator Ball was
chairman. No effort will be made
to get an appropriation for the naval
base at the present session Of Con-
gresa Because of the expected fight
against the Alameda location the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee, now
considering the navy appropriation
bill. will not attempt to have Con-
gress ratify the recommendation of
the joint committee, at this time.

In all there are nine principal cx-
German cables involved in the nego-

ain, Italy. Japan and the United
6tates- Two of these cables are
routed from Emden to New York via
tho Azores; one connects Emden with
The west coast of Africa, touching
1t several points in the former Ger

lanttc cable from Monrovia. in LII

other was originally routed from EN-
den. to Vigo, Spain. another connects
Constantinople with Const ANA, in Ru-
mania: two are Chinese coastal lines

Failure of Congress 10 appropri.

a home for foeble-minded persons In

Of many Of them being sent to st.

NO HONEY FOR SITE

by George 8. Wilson. secretary OF
the Board of Charities, who for many
years has been working for the es-
tablishment Of such q home for ar
flicted persons OF washington.
In the District appropriation bill.
lust passed an item Of $4,000 was re-
ouested 10 purchase q site for home
for feeble-mindod- The item was
left out of the bill ~ IL finally passed
There are almost 1000 fssbis-mind-
cd persons In the District, according
10 Mr.. Wilson, and IL IL now neces-
sary TO EARN them OUT to other
places where institutions for their
care are maintained. The afflicted
persons of Washington are now cared
for in institutions In New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, and Virginia. and these
places are now filled to capacity. and
n is hard work TO get them TO take
care of patients from Washington.
FAYORs COLONY PLAN.
Mr.. wilson's idea 10 to purchase a
tract Of ground In nearby Maryland
or virginia and start there q colony
for feeble minded persons from WASH
inxton. The idea to get them out In
the country Is the most logical plan,
Mr.. Wilson asserts, because there IL
no known cure for them and the only
thing that can be done 10 to give them
plenty OF outdoor life, under proper
supervision
The last time that a census Of the
feeble minded was made in the Dis
trict of Columbia was,in 1915 and at
that time there were 7sS afflicted
persons in the District or these 17S
were in st. Elixabeth'J Hospital for
the Insane. Shortly after the census
was taken the war In Europe began
and things were allowed to drag for
tho time. Mr.. Wilson said today he
was opposed to exaggeration. but he
believed feeble mindedness had in
creased in Washington as rapidly as
had the population.
HOMES IN MANY STATES.
"In former days when the compe-
tition Of modern life was not as keen
as it IL today, there was not as much
need for homes for feeble-minded per-
sons as there IL today" Mr.. Wilson
says. Nearly every State In the
Union has recognized the need Of such
institutions and as a result many ex-
