SOLDIER HOSPITAL
NEED HERE UPHELD
Arguments to Public Health
Service by Merchants to
Include st. EIizabeth'S.

Advantages of increasing govern
ment hospital facilities here to care
for disabled soldiers will be presented
tomorrow by a committee of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce to
the committee of consultant physi-
clans of the public health service
The latter committee has charge of
the disposition of the funds provided
by the last Congress for the erection
of new and the extension of present
hospitals throughout the country for
the rehabilitation of ex-service men.
The chamber committee, headed by
George H. Lamar, has been collecting
data on the several hospitals of the
city. and will have a good supply of
facts to be presented to the commit
tee on consultants.
DR.. White to Assist.
DIR. William A. White, superintend-
ent Of ST. Elizabeth's Hospital at
Congress Heights. was expected to
confer with Chairman Lamar and
other members of the committee to-
day. and furnish additional informa-
tion which will be valuable to the
ment physicians tomorrow of the ex-
treme value of using some of the
present funds for the extension of
local hospitals.
There is a large tract of ground
to the east of the present buildings
of ST. Elizabeths Hospital which. il
was pointed out. could be used for the
erection of buildings for the rehabili-
tation work. This tract contains ap-
proximately ia acres, and is located
on Hamilton road. BY the erection of
buildings there, it would be possible
to segregate the soldiers from the
present iNmates.
Other places for extension which
the committee has under considera-
tion are the Soldiers Home and the
Walter Reed Hospital. Both of these,
spots for sites for additional build
ings for taking care of the world war
soldiers in their effort to come back"
Supports General Project,
The Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee will not favor any particular
project. but will point out the ad-
vantages of all of them. But the
members will seek to convince the
consultants that the Capital city is
the place to which every service man
looks as a place to come. 1t is the
seat of government, a matter which
is constantly brought to his attention
while he is in the service, and all of
them have that desire to come here
some day.
Many of the soldiers who will he
treated in the proposed new hospi-
tails will be men who are able to
perform light work during their re-
cuperative period. Such work can be
provided in the Capital city. and at
the same time the men can be learn

BUDAPEST. March 30.-Former En-

made his visit to Budapest Monday
with the idea Of taking possession of
the Hungarian throne. but was unable
to induce the Hungarian government
to fall in with his plan, it has been
learned from unofficial but excellent

Official confirmation of the fact Of
the ex-ruler's visit was supplied to-
day. and numerous details have de-

Budapest accompanied by two friends.
He arrived at the palace at l O'Clock

Horthy. the regent. to turn over the
reins of government to him. The re-
gent. however, after setting forth
constitutional and political obJec-
tions. refused the plea and induced the
ex-monarch to promise to return TO
Switzerland.
Halts at Steinamanger.
Charles is reported now to be at
Steinamanger, in west Hungary. near
the Austrian frontier. at which place
he stopped on his way from Switzer-
land before coming to Budapest. He
was accompanied on his return jour
ney from Budapest by Premier Tel
eky. and he halted at Steinamanger
on the pretext of indisposi4ion, spend
ing the night there and refusing to
leave Tuesday morning. He believed,
it was said. that he might yet win
over the troops there to his side.
When Charles halted at Steina-
manger on his journey into Hungary
he made an effort to align the mill
tary authorities there with him.

Mexican President Says Country
Offers Best Opportunities for

MEXICO CITY. March 3o.-Govern-
mental policies followed by the pres
ent Mexican administration were de-
Tended by President Obregon in an
address before New Orleans business
men who were received at the ma
tional palace yesterday.
He declared that Mexico OFFERS the
best opportunities and advantages to
North American business men who
are investing capital" and that the
government would strive to extend
guarantees to all fair and honest men
seeking legitimate profits on their
money"
Although il is true that we have
not been recognized in Washington
the president continued, lit is true
that the friendly relations between
the Mexican and American people
have been growing every day.
''As the head of the government re-
sulting from the last revolution,

most sincerity Time will convince
those living near us of the falsehood
OF slanderous charges made by our
enemies. Once we are well known,

OLD SCHOOLHoUSES NEEDED.
Portable Buildings Must Be Used
For Years.

The seventy-nine himsy portable
schoolhouses which have been en-
ployed for several years to relieve
overcrowded conditions in the public
schools are destined for further use
Crowded classes are not to be reduced
in size for several years.
1t developed today that the schoo!
building program to be submitted to
Congress soon after the converting of
the extra session will carry no pro-
visions for additional classrooms in
order that the portables can be
abandoned, and that no request will
be made for more classrooms to re-
duce the oversize classes, of which
there are Seventy-four in the school
system. The program will call for the
minimum of extra rooms necessary to
eliminate the part-time classes and
to provide for the increase in enroll
ment expected in the near future.
The portables and the DIVERSIFIED
classes already have been branded by
Supt. Baliou as undesirable" How
ever, it is said. that school officials
feel that Congress will not grant an
appropriation large enough to remedy
them, and will ask only for funds for
the most urgent needs.
The proposed school-building pro-
gram. it was said today, is more or
less uncertain. School officials have
not definitely decided on any specific
project and are awaiting a decision by
the Commissioners as to the best plan
for financing any program. 1t is con-
sidered likely that no definite steps to
draft a tentative building program
will be taken before next week. rs
Supt. Ballou and AsstSupt. Kramer
are spending the week end at Della
ware resort. Meantime. Engineer
Commissioner Kutz stated that he
would examine the three building pro-
grams drafted by school officials last
year, with view to determining
which would stand the best
chance of being acted on by Congress.

be dying out, the order still attracts
wide attention because of its mystic
rious ceremonies, which Americans
seldom are able to witness.
The principles and practices of the

government is taking every possible
precaution to prevent former Emperor
Charles from re-enterinS the country
from Steinamanser. West Hungary
where he is reported to have taken
refuge.
1t is rumored. however that semi +
official statements that Charles IS IN
Steinamanger are intended as a cloak
to cover the fact that he already Is
en- route to Switzerland.
Armed guards from various organl-
cations have been stationed along the
frontier to intercept the former en-
peror should he attempt to recross
into Austria. The armorieS OF the
association Of former officers are un-
der heavy guard to prevent the re-
moval of arms, and the homes OF all
generals in the old imperial army are
under police surveillance. 1t is report
ed a large number of officers OF the
old army are hurrying in groups 70
towns adjacent to Steinamanager. Inc
refusal of the party composed OF
small farmers to indorse and support
Charles. it is understood, was largely
responsible for the request of Hun
gary. shat he depart from the country.
Little Entente'' Warns.
Meanwhile, the little entente" COM
prising Czechoslovakia. Jugoslavia
and Rumania, has served notice on
the Austrian government that troops
will be marched into Austria at the
slightest indication that former En-
peror Charles is to be permitted to
remain in the country. Dispatches
from both Belgrade and Prague. state
that the Jugoslav and Czechoslovakian
governments will not tolerate his
presence.
Uneasiness and nervousness prevail
among all classes in Vienna, where 1t
is generally recognized the situation
is one of the utmost gravity, full OF
possibilities of danger to the republic
in an hour already grave from inter-
nal causes.
Entry to BE Probed.
The government announced today 1T
woulu order an investigation into the
manner in which Charles crossed Aus
tria into Hungary. There appears to
have been some confusion in the first
dispatches as to the time Of the ex-
rulers arrival in Austria and his sub
seuuent movements.
1t now appears he crossed Austria
Friday night and entered Hungary on
Saturday. West Hungary is cut off
from communication with Vienna, and
dispatches from Budapest give the
only news of what is transpiring in
Steinamanger. These state that Gen.
Lehar. commanding in Steinamanger.
and Baron Pronay, commander of a
battalion Of white terrorists." are
with Charles, together with other
"aristocrats."

SUGGEST IMPROVED
CITY POST OFFICE
Employees Proposals Consid-
cred Today Will Be Placed
Il Before Mr.. Hays.

Proposals to better the Washington
city post office were under considera-
ton today by the jury of award sit
ting on suggestions turned in by en-
ployes of the Office at the invitation
of Postmaster Chance.
The best suggestions will be placed
before Postmaster General Hays as
the first concrete steps of any city
post Office in the country to follow
out his plan of "humanizing" the pos
tai service.
Twelve SugEestions.
Here are twelve of the suggestions
which were leading today in the con-
sideration of the judges:
I. Eight straight hours Of duty. in
stead Of eight and one-half hours. as
at present.
2. Saturday half holiday for en-
ployes of the city post Office.
3. Stools for men at the cases.
"Give us stools or give US death"
wrote one employe.
Post Office Department on all legisla-
tion enacted by Congress for the
benefit of postal workers.
5. Better ventilation in parts Of the
s. Collection and delivery Of all de-
partmental mail by city post Office
employees.
I. "Get-together" meetings Of off,
cials and employees.
8. Establishment of a dispensary at
the city post Office.
9. More careful handling of parcels
10. Abolition of the demerit system.
H. Certain changes in carrier sched-
uIes.
12. Installation of mailbag clean
ing plant at all first-class post Of
fees, to save the lungs of workers
from inhaling dust
Seventy-Five Responses.
More than seventy-five. responses
we're received in the contest, but
probably more than half of the sug-
gestions were that the straight eight
at he city post office.
At present employees are required to
work eight and one-half hours the
half hour being for lunch period.
Under the desired system the half
hour would come out of the govern
ments time. the employees actually
working seven and one-half hours.
Oficials are of the opinion that this
would not result in any loss whatever
to the government. but would result
in more>satisfied employees
Liberal Policy Aim.
Suggestion No. 4 above is filled with
great meaning to those familiar with
nostal conditions. 1t Is declared that
laws passed by Congress in the inter-
est of postal workers already contain
many provisions which would help
materially to make the service what
the new Postmaster General wants
il to be il only the various provisions
were literally interpreted.
Suggestion No. s. that collection and
delivery of all departmental mail be
made by city post office employees, is
another interesting suggestion. AT
present each department has its own
mail wagons and details employees
who go to the city post Office each day
to gather mail.
